Make a div into a link
(30 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
How do I make an entire DIV a clickable hyperlink. Meaning, I essentially want to do:
<div class="myclass" href="example.com">
<div>...</div>
<table><tr>..</tr></table>
....
</div>
And whenever someone mouse hovers of the myclass DIV, I want the entire DIV it to be a clickable hyperlink.
You can add the onclick for JavaScript into the div.
<div onclick="location.href='newurl.html';"> </div>
EDIT: for new window
<div onclick="window.open('newurl.html','mywindow');" style="cursor: pointer;"> </div>
You can put an <a> element inside the <div> and set it to display: block and height: 100%.
You just need to specify the cursor as a pointer, not a hand, as pointer is now the standard, so, here's the example page code:
<div onclick="location.href='portable-display-stands.html';" id="smallbox">The content of the div here</div>
and the example CSS:
#smallbox {
cursor: pointer;
}
So the div is now a clickable element using 'onclick' and you've faked the hand cursor with the CSS...job done, works for me!
This is a late answer, but this question appears highly on search results so it's worth answering properly.
Basically, you shouldn't be trying to make a div clickable, but rather make an anchor div-like by giving the <a> tag a display: block CSS attribute.
That way, your HTML remains semantically valid and you can inherit the typical browser behaviours for hyperlinks. It also works even if javascript is disabled / js resources don't load.
Add an onclick to your DIV tag.

Why don't you just do this
<div>...</div>
That should work fine and will prompt the "clickable item" cursor change, which the aforementioned solution will not do.
alternative would be javascript and forwarding via the onclick event
<div onclick="window.location.href='somewhere...';">...</div>

I have a similar question as this thread, but the answer doesn't seem to be listed anymore. I have a list of tiles that show a property image and some relevant information. I'd like each to be a full link to another page with more information on the property.
I've made my tiles into a directive, and currently the html content of that directive is wrapped in an anchor tag. Which works to reach my specified link, however that anchor tag only matches the height of the mdGridTileFooter.
Is there a way to make the entire tile clickable? So that the user can click on any part of it and access the intended link (not just the bottom footer?
The HTML Directive:
<a ng-click="spVm.linkToProperty(proforma)" ng-href="{{spVm.path}}">
<div>
<md-grid-tile-footer class="saved-prop-address">
<div class="saved-prop-address-title" ng-bind="spVm.city"></div>
<div class="saved-prop-address-subtitle"
ng-bind="proforma.listing.update_date | date: 'MMMM dd'"></div>
</md-grid-tile-footer>
</div>
</a>
The HTML Page with the Tile List:
<md-grid-list md-cols-xs="2"
md-cols-sm="3" md-cols-md="3" md-cols-gt-md="6"
md-row-height="1:1" md-gutter="4px">
<md-grid-tile class="saved-prop"
ng-repeat="proforma in sdVm.pageGroups[sdVm.saved.idx]"
ng-click="sdVm.showSelectedProperty(proforma); sdVm.linkToProperty(proforma)"
ng-href="{{sdVm.path}}"
ng-style="{'background-image':'url({{proforma.thumbnail_url}})'}">
<pgo-saved-property proforma="proforma">
</pgo-saved-property>
</md-grid-tile>
</md-grid-list>
Thank you!
Since it looks like the directive had no height, adding any responsive height/width styling to the anchor tag won't work.
Adding this code to the css for the directive, and the anchor tag, will bring the anchor/link to the full height and width of the tile.
style="display:block;height:100%;width:100%;"
And any responsive changes that occur with the tiles will work with this code as well.
I am working on tabbing through the whole web page using the keyboard(tab key, shift+tab key) and everything is working fine and smooth. Also when i keep pressing the tab key, the focus cycles through all the elements(address bar, elements, back to address bar and so on).
Now in some cases, i have an modal and an transparent overlay on top of my content. Now when this happens, when i use tab key, i move from the left menu to the overlay and from the last focusible element on the overlay, i have to force the focus to the body element(or the address bar). So Basically when there is an overlay, i want to ignore the element below the overlay from tabbing. Is there any way i can achieve it cleanly?
I was thinking of setting tabindex=-1 for all elements under the overlay but any other better approach would be the most welcome
Thanks
This is an oldish question, but I just ran into this issue today, so I thought I'd share my solution.
As long as you know the tab order of items in your overlay, you can just add a blur event listener on the final item and use it to move the focus back to the first item in your overlay:
lastElementInOverlay.addEventListener('blur', function()
{ firstElementInOverlay.focus(); });
It strikes me that this would be easier than changing the tabIndex of all the elements under the overlay (and then having to change them back when the overlay is gone.
The 'modern/future' solution to this problem seems to be the inert attribute...
So taking the example above, it would look like this with overlay opened
<div id="menu" inert>
<a>
<a>
<a>
</div>
[...other code with tabindex]
<div id="overlay">
<a>
<a>
<a>
</div>
Now since inert is still a work in progress; you'll need to use the following polyfill (for now): https://github.com/WICG/inert
I was thinking of setting tabindex=-1 for all elements under the overlay but any other better approach would be the most welcome
This is what i usually do when fixing the tabbing of elements.
There is one other solution i can think of:
Setting the overlay tab-element lower then that of the rest.
Eg:
<div menu>
<a tabindex="10">
<a tabindex="11">
<a tabindex="12">
</div>
[...other code with tabindex > 10]
<div overlay>
<a tabindex="1">
<a tabindex="2">
<a tabindex="3">
</div>
The downside of this will be that after you have tabbed trough the overlay you will go to the menu again.
You could assign an id like "lastFocusableOverlayElement" to the last focusable HTML-element of your overlay and assign the focus to your trigger element (for example "menu-button") when leaving the last element's focus:
$('#lastFocusableOverlayElement').on('blur', function(){
if ($("body").hasClass("overlay-is-open")){
$('#toggleOverlay').focus();
}
});
In my case the last focusable element is always visible, regardless of whether the overlay is open. For this reason i needed an if query. It can be omitted if not necessary.
Say I have the following situation:
<div draggable="true" ondragstart="behavior">
Text Link
</div>
And I want the whole div to behave the same when dragged and dropped, how would I do this? The anchor tag seems to have it's own default behaviour that overrides the dragging on in the div. If I suppress that, by adding ondragstart="return false" I can't drag the div at all by dragging the link.
I suppose I could manually add the dragging behavior to the anchor tag so that it overrides the default behavior and matches the div behavior, but that seems kludgey.
I could also make a new tag to replace the anchor tag, but that also seems lame.
Is there a more elegant way to solve this?
Seems like this is the answer you are looking for: HTML5 - Drag N Drop with divs and inner-images
In short - add draggable="false" attribute to the link.
Is it possible to prevent the effect of ng-show on a specific child element.
Lets say I have the following html.
<div ng-show="showParent" class="parent">
<div class="childOne"></div> <!-- don't hide this -->
<div class="childTwo"></div>
</div>
Now what I would like to achieve is hiding everything except childOne. Actually hiding a parent, but one or some of its children?
No, you can't. The HTML standard prevents that. All children get hidden when the parent gets hidden, and AngularJS just adds things to HTML, it doesn't change it.
However, AngularJS allows one variable to control multiple elements, and can probably help us get the same affects you want. So let's go back to what you are really trying to accomplish. To do this, we're going to need some more details that you took out in this question to make the question smaller (and thank you for that). What about just hiding childTwo is not working for you? Are there other things in parent you need to hide? We can put those in seperate elements (div or span or something) and hide those with the same variable as we hide ChildTwo. Does parent have some formatting (say, a border or something) you need to hide? We can change what classes are on parent based on the same variable we use to hide the other elements to something that removes the border and any other styling, effectively making it not visible, although still technically present in the DOM.
ngShow relies on a CSS class (.ng-hide). You may be able to override that class with your own more specific selector for just the divs you want excluded from the directive.
<div class="parent" ng-show="showParent">
<div class="childOne nghide-override"></div>
<div class="childTwo"></div>
</div>
Source: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngShow
(I'm unable to test this right now, but I'll mock something up shortly and edit/remove this if it doesn't work.)
You could also just split the children out into divs and hide the second div:
<div class="parent">
<div class="shown children">
<div class="childOne"></div>
</div>
<div class="hidden children" ng-show="showParent">
<div class="childTwo"></div>
</div>
</div>
Use Jquery unwrap.
Include jquery in your application:
bower install jquery --save
Set on ready unwrap to specified div:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".childOne").unwrap();
});
</script>
Working with Bootstrap I wanted to make a replica of http://spring.io/projects; a grid of links that are each a bordered panel (might not be the right word...) with some words an a picture inside. I've come to a conclusion, that Bootstrap's Thumbnail component should be right for me.
Having tried to use it, however, I ran into a problem.
If I want the entire panel to be clickable, I have to apply the thumbnail class to an anchor tag (wrapping the anchor into a div with thumbnail doesn't seem to work). Then, inside the anchor tag I've got a div tag with the class caption in it to store some text whose styling I don't want to change upon hovering on the panel.
What this caused is this: the text regained normal colour (as compared to the link colour when used without the caption class, however hovering over the panel causes the text to get underlined, and I'd prefer if that was not the case: it doesn't look very good and the highlight of the border upon hover is already a good indicator of that it is indeed a link.
I was about to just get my css hat out and modify the caption class to not do this, but it doesn't seem like the right course of action; I can't imagine it being desirable behavior for captions to get highlighted like this, and I'd like to use as little custom code as possible (since sticking to standards means I won't have to maintain this code every time I update bootstrap).
So my question is: where am I going wrong? Is it actually bad practice to want the entire thumbnail panel to work as a link? Or should I go ahead and manually scrape the underlining off? Or am I maybe applying wrong classes to wrong tags? Or is the thumbnail component not a right component for me to use altogether in such a case?
EDIT:
Forgot to include the code.
The thing I'm currently using:
<a class="thumbnail text-center" href="#">
<div class="caption">
<h3>Potato</h3>
<p>Some short description of what this exact potato really is about.</p>
</div>
</a>
EDIT 2:
Adding an image of what is currently occurring:
This is with the mouse hovering over it; as you can see, the text is underlined, which is not ideal.
Really weird that you ask this question because I just read a thread on this not so long ago and still have my solution which I have turned into a FIDDLE for you.
If I understand your question correctly, you want the entire panel / div to be a link, which can be accomplished like this: (This is the OP's steps, cant remember them word for word)
Make your Div position: Relative;
create a link
put span tags into that link <span></span>
Style the empty span tag with
CSS:
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left: 0;
/* edit: added z-index */
z-index: 1;
/* edit: fixes overlap error in IE7/8,
make sure you have an empty gif */
background-image: url('empty.gif');
}
I think that's all there is to it. Like I said... There is a thread somewhere on this, but I cant remember what it was called.
Hope this can help.
EDIT: So after a long debate, we can forget about the above AND we came to the conclusion that this is possibly what you are after? :)
Add a tiny bit more CSS to your solution and you are sorted...
a.thumbnail:link {
text-decoration:none;
cursor:pointer;
}
Here is an updated fiddle
The solution is to add on the top of your style sheet:
a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
