Making a Delete and Reply button in Jquery
- by Branko Ostojic
this is my second post on the website. Of all other sites i tried, this one gave the most accurate and useful information!
I'm in a bit of a trouble with buttons, i have a task to make an inbox and to add a "reply" and "delete" button into every instance of the message.
I was indeed wandering if there is a better way to do that than forcing the HTML code into the script, because every message is dynamically generated. Any help and/or suggestions would be very appreciated!(The objects are called from a JSON file).
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON('public/js/data.json', function(json){
$.each(json.data, function(i, data){
var output = '';
if(data.from.id != '234' && data.from.name != 'Alan Ford'){
$("#inbox").append(
output +=
'<div class="post">'+
'<div class="h1">'+data.from.name+' - '+data.subject+'</div>'+ //this gives the name of the person who sent the message and the subject
'<div class="content">'+data.message_formatted+'</div>'+ //The content of the message
//buttons should be squeezed left of the date
//this gives the date of the message sent
'<div class="time">'+data.date_sent_formatted.formatted+'</div>'+
'</div>'
);
}});
});
});
var date_sent=convertToDateTime();
function delete_message(id){
console.log('Delete message with id: '+id);
}
function reply_message(id, sender){
console.log('Message id: '+id);
console.log('Reply to: '+sender);
}
The complete code in the JSFiddle . Just copy/pasted!
