I have inserted an image (with <a> tag) like "Add to cart" before the title of list item using SP Designer. Now I want to check that which item's link is clicked using java script. How to do that?

My code is:

<script type="text/javascript">                             
function Clicked()                          
{                                   
     alert("You have clicked link");
     return false;
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="return Clicked();" title="Add item to cart"><img alt="Add to cart" src="file:///C:/Users/Kalpesh.Vaghela/Desktop/add-to-cart-web-button-9227672.jpg"></img></a>
<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" disable-output-escaping ="yes"/>

  • Are you sure return Clicked is the optimal use in the onclick event? I advice you to use <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Clicked()"> instead as it makes return redundant/unneeded. Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 8:46

Change your function Clicked() to have a parameter.

function Clicked(elem) { 
    alert(elem.length); // This is just to alert something
}

Then in your click event on the <a> tag, add the argument this in Clicked()

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Clicked(this);" title="Add item to card">...</a>

The Clicked function should now alert the length of the clicked <a> tag.

Update
Since the <a> tag is located within XSL and you want to know which item is being clicked, you can create an XSL variable

<xsl:variable name="ItemName" select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" />

You can now use this XLS variables value in your javascript as follows

<script type="text/javascript">
function Clicked(value) { 
    alert(value);
}
</script>
<xsl:variable name="ItemName" select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" />
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Clicked({$ItemName});" title="Add item to card">...</a>
<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@*[name()=current()/@Name]" disable-output-escaping ="yes"/>

Change the XML path in the select property out with the one you want and that will be alerted by your javascript.

This is just a proof of concept. You'll have to make the rest of the logic yourself.

  • Output comes as "undefined" Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 9:32
  • @users1100 Try just alerting elem or alert elem === "undefined" <- if this returns false it means you have a valid object and can continue from there. Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 9:36
  • Plz have a look at this I want the name of item when user clicks on the green button left side of name. @DanielZiga Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 9:48
  • Provide some suggestion or reference. Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 9:50
  • @users1100 Check my update. Commented Sep 17, 2013 at 10:33
