Click anywhere on a div to trigger an input

Question

I am trying to make it so when you click on a particular div, it triggers an input button to open up the uploadcare widget.

Here is the HTML in question

<div class="col-md-6 image-preview-single">
<img src="" alt="" class="img-responsive card-shadow hidden">
    <div id="logo-upload" class="add-new-short add-new-home-realtor card-shadow-mini btn-file uploader-homicity" style="display:block;text-decoration:none; cursor: pointer;">
        <i class="fa fa-photo"/>
        <input type="hidden" role="uploadcare-uploader" name="logo" data-upload-url-base="" data-images-only="true" data-crop="150x150" data-clearable="true" id="logo-input">
            <div class="uploadcare-widget uploadcare-widget-option-clearable uploadcare-widget-status-ready" data-status="ready">
                <div class="uploadcare-widget-dragndrop-area">
                    Drop a file here
                </div>
                <div class="uploadcare-widget-status uploadcare-widget-circle uploadcare-widget-circle--canvas">
                    <canvas width="56" height="56"/>
                </div>
                <div class="uploadcare-widget-text">
                </div>
                <div tabindex="0" role="button" class="uploadcare-widget-button uploadcare-widget-button-open">Choose an image</div>
                <div tabindex="0" role="button" class="uploadcare-widget-button uploadcare-widget-button-cancel">Cancel</div>
                <div tabindex="0" role="button" class="uploadcare-widget-button uploadcare-widget-button-remove">Remove</div>
            </div> 
    </div>

And Jquery in question

$( '#logo-upload' ).on( 'click', function() {
    $('input#logo-input').click();
});

And this is the console error

Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
    at RegExp.exec (<anonymous>)
    at n.fn.init (jquery.min.js:2)
    at n (jquery.min.js:2)
    at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous> (uploadcare.js:72)
    at HTMLDivElement.dispatch (jquery.min.js:3)
    at HTMLDivElement.r.handle (jquery.min.js:3)
    at Object.trigger (jquery.min.js:4)
    at HTMLInputElement.<anonymous> (jquery.min.js:4)
    at Function.each (jquery.min.js:2)
    at n.fn.init.each (jquery.min.js:2)

What am I missing on this?

Thanks

You need to add also this event on input click:

$('input#logo-input').on('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
    ...your code
});

You need to stop propagation because you create infinite loop. When you trigger click on input, this input is inside logo-upload div and click on input is propagate to this container and this create infinite loop.

Answer 2

Two options:

1. Use a <label> to activate the input with just html:

   <label for="yourId">Click here<label> <input id="yourId" type="text" />

2. Use focus() instead of click() with stopPropagation() and stopPropagation() :

   $('#logo-upload' ).on( 'click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); $('input#logo-input').focus(); });

Answer 3

Ok,

so you want to open Uploadcare dialog , not a widget .

First, remove all the widget's HTML code from your page, it is added by library and should be in served document. Second, use the following code

$('#logo-upload').on('click', function() {
    uploadcare.Widget(input_selector).openDialog();
});

Answer 4

just do this.

var inputSP = input.click(function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); });

dropper.on('click', function (e) {
   e.stopPropagation();   
    // here we first stop propagation then make a call to click event 
   inputSP; 
   input.click();
});
