JQuery .on(“click”) event not triggering
Question
I am currently working on a "split-screen" web application. It uses selenium to retrieve the html of a webpage then sends and displays it in iframes using srcdoc. I want, when someone presses a link in the first screen, for the second screen to display a simple "Loading" while an ajax request is sent to the backend to retrieve the html of the url (as it might take a couple of seconds to load) then display the retrieved html in the second screen.
To do so, I "inject" a JQuery event code into the src code of the first screen in the backend (shown below) right before the end body tag (as the retrieved source is a string, that is easy to do). The second screen has id="oframe".
For some reason, the JQuery event wont trigger. Any ideas why?
<script>
$("a").on("click",function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if(e.target.href){
let link = e.target.href;
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc="<html><head></head><body>
<p>Loading</p></body></html>";
$.ajax({
url: "/newOrigin",
data: {"link":link},
type: "POST",
success: function(response) {
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc=response.site;},
error: function(error) {console.log(error);}
});
}});
</script>
Note that the event works if I only have
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc="<html><head></head><body>
or
$.ajax({
url: "/newOrigin",
data: {"link":link},
type: "POST",
success: function(response) {
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc=response.site;},
error: function(error) {console.log(error);}
});
inside the if statement.Together they stop the event, I know that because preventDefault() is not working (link opens in a new tab).
Example <a> tag:
<a class="gdpr-modal-link" target="_blank" ref="http://www.politifact.com/privacy/">cookies</a>

You cannot have a line break in the middle of JavaScript string.
So, put this:
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc="<html><head></head><body>
<p>Loading</p></body></html>";
all on one line:
parent.document.getElementById("oframe").srcdoc="<html><head></head><body>p>Loading</p></body></html>";
