[jQuery] How to unbind data?
Hi everyone
I'm trying to write a function that will pass through the id of a
clicked element, and then use that id for spellchecking the word
that's been clicked on. However, although this seems to work, when i
click on another word, it returns the previous corrected word rather
than the new one - as if it's storing the same data all the time. I
was advised to unbind the event but that doesn't seem to work...
Here is my code - but let me quickly explain. First off, there is a
div with text in which has several "clickable" words which can be
altered by the user by means of a pop up tooltip with input box. If
the user types a word in and hits "save", the spell check will
activate (i.e. checkWordSpelling). I'm firstly unbinding the click
event, and then rebinding it for the next word - and although the
correct id is detected, the word that it's supposed to place there
after correcting is always the same one (i.e. the first one that was
corrected):
$('#'+tooltipsavebtn).unbind('click');
$('#'+tooltipsavebtn).bind("click",{theid: id },function(e) {
var newval = $('#'+tooltipinput).val();
setProfileText(id,newval,tooltipid,targetid);
spellchecked = false;
pickedfromlist = false;
checkWordSpelling(e.data.theid);
var exists = false;
for(i=0;i<len;i++){
if (words[id][1][i] == newval){
exists = true;
}
}
if(exists == false){
if(len<6){
words[id][1].push(newval);
}else{
words[id][1].splice(0,1,newval);
userwords[id][1].splice(0,1,newval);
}
}
$('#'+tooltipsavebtn).fadeOut('slow');
});
My spellcheck function initiates a dialog with a callback function:
function checkWordSpelling(id) { // opens and performs the spell check
var theid = "#"+id;
var $spellcheckthis = $(theid);
var thetext = $spellcheckthis.text();
var callback = function() {
var correctedtext = $('#correctedText').text();
$spellcheckthis.text(correctedtext);
}
var spellcheck = JQSpellCheckDialog.create({text : thetext},
callback, SpellCheckOptions);
spellcheck.open();
}
the call back will take the contents of the dialog with the corrected
word and place it in place of the user entered word - at least, that's
what it's SUPPOSED to do...but like I say it seems to keep replacing
it with the first word all the time...
I hope I am explaining this ok...but if anyone needs more description
let me know. I would link to an example but due to data protection
from my company, it's a little difficult but if it's required for
anyone to actually be able to help me I'll see what I can do.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
