Recursion in jQuery event



This event is attached to a set of elements:







var elems = $(this).filter(function(){

...

});







How can I trigger a change event on these elements within a change event handler, but ignore the current element?







elems.bind('change input', function(){



// do some stuff...



// then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue

elems.change();



});







Basically I want ot ignore this from elems , but only in my "manual" change()-call above...

  1. var elems = $(this).filter(function(){
    ...
    });

    elems.bind('change input', function(){


    // then trigger change, but not on "this", to avoid the recursion issue
    elems.not(this).change();

    });


    Though I must say, this scenario looks like a poor design issue.
    When element get changed it sets a change event callback to some elements including him self... sound awkward and that recursion is just a symptom to other bigger problem...

    It probably can be done in a a lot cleaner way then this.

  2. You can just filter out the current element:

    elems.not(this).trigger('change'); // or just .change()

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
