I’m using Leaflet to draw a map, within the popups I’ve added a link

  • 0

I’m using Leaflet to draw a map, within the popups I’ve added a link that should lead to a more detailed description, the description is separated from map and arranged into list using an accordion, so every description is hidden.

I can use an anchor to link to the accordion content, but I need to execute some JavaScript onclick so I am trying to add a click event handler – its not working.

Here is my code:

        <p>List made using JQuery UI accordion, every element is hidden, only on hover it opens, you can click on it to display on map, reverse cliking on map should aopen accordion list description (this), it's currently done using permalinks because I cannot catch click event on a or span tag.

you can check it on JS Fiddle

I’ve reported this as a bug on github to developer of Leaflet here and here but he close bug replying that it’s not a issue and I can use another class – which doesn’t work.

Edit:
I’ve found some on my own too: http://jsfiddle.net/M5Ntr/12/
But there is still a problem, potentially there can be a 500 points, so I would like to have as less code as possible, I’ve tried to create function but I cannot pass variables 🙁

this is working

point["point_111_11"] = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(51.4800166666667,-0.43673)).bindPopup("<b>Ioff</b> <br>**** ***").on('click', function (e) { console.log("clicked (Try to open Accordion): " + e.target) });

but this is preferable (not working):

point["point_111_11"] = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(51.4800166666667,-0.43673)).bindPopup("<b>Ioff</b> <br>**** ***").on('click', myfunction('point_111_11'));

function myfunction(seclectedId){
   //do something with seclectedId
   console.log(seclectedId)
}

or even

point["point_111_11"] = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(51.4800166666667,-0.43673)).bindPopup("<b>Ioff</b> <br>**** ***").myBindFunction('point_111_11')

which will do .on(‘click’) or something similar inside …

    As specified in the ticket you raised you can create DOM elements and pass them to the bindPopup method … so you can do this :

    var domelem = document.createElement('a');
domelem.href = "#point_555_444";
domelem.innerHTML = "Click me";
domelem.onclick = function() {
    alert(this.href);
    // do whatever else you want to do - open accordion etc
};

point["point_555_44"] = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(51.641485, -0.15362)).bindPopup(domelem);

    You just need to update the onclick function to do what you need it to do ….

    Here is the above section of code within your example
