How To Check Which Link Is Currently Receiving The Focus?
Nov 6, 2009
if it is possible to check which link on the page receives a focus? For example, i got Links name A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5. How to check which link is currently receiving the focus? is it possible to do?
I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 and only recently noticed that (javascript/jquery being enabled) link focus is lost when you tab through a page, follow the link to another page and then hit the backspace key to come back. Tab navigation continues at top of page, not with the next link after the one in focus before.
No problems in this respect with IE8 and Opera. As soon as you disable javascript with noscript, the problem disappears and link focus stays, so that tabbing brings on the next link instead of starting on top of page again.
Just confirmed it on jquery/com (following navigation link to Plugins and hitting backspace) and on learningjquery/com (navigation links). A Google search didn't yield any answers nor even any similar reports on this particular problem.
It's even more irksome in my particular case, since I have just implemented a stylesheet switcher in order to enhance certain accessibility aspects, but ironically this particular bug leads to a loss of accessibility.
Does anybody know what might be the reason (version 1.3.2.min related?, cookies related?, etc.) for this and how to solve it?
i want the link only to change color when clicked and content changes in window "#gallery". Then when click on another link, it goes back to original color and new link is now changed. Basically, only when link is acitve or focused on then it's new color so user knows link and content that's being viewed.
I just started using the grate validate plugin today and I can't really find an example of what I'm trying to customize...
Basically, I think it's confusing for a select element to change on focus instead of on change, meaning: the user forgets to select an option, the drop down is highlighted with some CSS, so use selects an option, but CSS error styling doesn't go away until the user clicks somewhere else on the page... A minor gripe, but I'm a big believer of the Steve Krug "don't make me think" school ;)
I'm still not quite clearly on how to implement own customizations of this plugin even after going through the docs...
Does anyone know how to set the code, so that if someone clicks send on a form, and there's an error, that the form then shows in the window, (always a few pixels down from the top of the window), please ?The form is a php include on many different positions on many pages so the offsetTop will be different depending on which page it's on.
There are 3 graphics (top left of page) which open a linked page in a pop up window; each popup comes into focus the first time it's opened - clicking on the same graphics again doesn't bring the already opened popups back into focus.I had originally sized each popup as 320x430px in the body at each of the 3 references to the linked pages, but discovered that (in FF portable 3.65.13) the popups all opened full-size windows. In an attempt to resolve this I removed the size info from each of these 3 page references (lines 84, 89, 94) and moved it to the head (line 67) which seems to have resolved the size issue, but works only when I specify the popup to be any size except the original size of 320x430 (e.g. 320x431; I have now settled for 321x431)
basically i have a page thats redirecting to a server. when the server is off i want to have java check to see if the link is alive or not, and if its not alive, then go to another page.
i am trying to put some code within my js such that, when the server "sends it a message" it refreshes the page. now i have the refresh part of things. the place where i am stuck is, how can my server (tomcat, am using a java web app) send a very small piece of info to the js which when it receives it, refreshes the page.
when I use Firefox to run my application (this involves sending an IFRAME request to the servlet and handling the response), there is no delay in displaying the data after each response. But when I use IE, there seems to be a 1-2 second delay. The script sends a request using IFrame, goes through a loop to return script tags containing data to the browser, and then data is displayed by the browser and a new request is sent. For IE, when a new request is sent, the delay in receiving the response is quite noticeable.
the second file, soapcall2.html contains just the following (no <html/>,<head/> or <body/> tags)
<script> var ServiceUrl = '/ws/'; var CreateSession = ServiceUrl + 'general.asmx?op=CreateUserSession';
[code]....
In IE 7/8 the error: event is triggered with the correct XML (XMLHttpRequest.responseText) but the textStatus reports parserror and the errorThrown returns [object error]. In firefox it runs without any problems and properly sets the sessiontoken variable.
I've got a page that has a navigation and content div.
The navigation consists of a JS tree menu that has AJAX event handlers associated to all its links so that when the user clicks on any of the links, the content div will update accordingly. The content div is making use of a number of JQueryUI elements such as tabs and accordions among others.
All the JS works fine when I initially open the page; it's only until I click on any navigation link when the problems surface. Once I do none of the JS appears enabled any more in the content div.
I've tried linking to the JS file from the AJAX PHP script called, and that gets the JS to work but only after exhibiting strange behavior - the content div flickers between a JS enabled/disabled state for a few seconds. I figured this may be because the JS file's contents will have been duplicated as it is the same script loaded when initially opening the page.
I have got my ajax file calling the php file properly and executing some code in it, but nothing will get returned with json_encode().
Right now I am skipping form validation and just trying to get a response back of any sort:
Currently my site just shows the 'processing...' string but will change my css class to indicate a sucess.
Here is my ajax calling the php file:
When I change .html(data.msg) to something like html("<p>hello world</p>") I get the string back. So this line is working, but just not recieving 'data.msg' from my php file.
The trouble is, is that some pages are very long and some are very short, so using offsetTop is obviously not bringing the form into full view ;-( Still keeping all the functions detailed in the code below, how would you adjust the code to achieve the aim of always showing the form, when clicking on the button to show the form, regardless of how long or short the page is please?
This is irritating cause i read a arcticle with a solution to this in one of the many newsletters i receive, but then i didn't need it and now i do i can't find it, and i'm searching for days now .
I have say 3 links
link1 --- link2 --- link3
all of then formatted nicelly with CSS. When i select one of then, say link1, it becames with a diferent background color.
What i want is to keep tha backg color even when the user clicks anywhere on the page (thus loosing focus) and until another link is clicked.
I tought this could be possible in a CSS only way, but now i think i have to use some Javascript.
I'm currently making a web application which needs to be fully compatible with iPad. The functions I've implemented so far work perfectly on Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. However, the iPad itself responds a bit different. After a certain action, I want to put focus on a textfield with the help of Javascript. Again, this works perfectly with the normal browser, the iPad browser however seems to be blocking the focus. The reason I'm not posting any code is because it's basically irrelevant. All I do is:
Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
I think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus.A simplified version of my problem is:I've defined the function
function two_focus() { document.getElementById("two").blur();
i am facing a problem after using jquery jconfirm alert. Issue is that after receiving confirm alert, when user press tab to go on Cancel button and press Enter key there, despite of firing event of Cancel button, it fires the event of OK button. this issue is not produced when user press the cancel button by mouse. Waiting for your replies.
I've been searching for a few hours and haven't been able to find a code snippet to see if this is available. I'm attempting to pass text from my website to another website that has a form setup on it. I'd like to fill in the pertinent data for my users on the page that I load for them. I cannot make any changes to the receiving page as it is run by another company. I've pasted some of the code that is available on the receiving form.
<script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var theForm = document.forms['form1']; if (!theForm) {
I have been receiving an error that states that one of my variables ("$fileAmount") is undefined. I was hoping you guys might see something in my code where I am making a mistake. Please note that this is not the entire code, but where the error is occurring. "Browser" is a file browser used for uploading files. It errors on the third line of the function saying that $fileAmount is undefined.
