Adding Focus To First Form Field Without Using Onload In The Body Tag
Feb 12, 2004Is this possible? I'm sure it's something simple with window.onload
Here's the 1st field I'm using:
<input type="text" maxlength="65">

I am looking for a cross-browser way (Firefox 1+, IE 5.5+) to
have my Javascript function execute from the BODY's "onload" method,
but if there is already an onload method defined, I would like mine to
run immediately after it. So in the code below, what JS would i need
to add to my "myfile.inc" page so that I could guarantee this behavior? Code:
I am trying to fix error- object does not exist- I want it possible to
allow object not to exist.
I am writing a script on a page that may or may not include a login
form. For example-after a visitor logs in, the login form is no longer
on the page, but other content is still there.
I want to bring focus to the login form using the onLoad in the body
tag.....but if the login form does not exist, I do not want to perform
this function.
The following code works fine for focusing the cursor on to the login
form.
(code)
<html>
<head>
<title>
Testing Javascript
</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function addcursor ()
{
if (document.login) {
document.login.username.focus();
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body OnLoad ="addcursor()">
<form name="login" id="login" action="" method="post">
<input type = "text" name="username" id="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
(end code)
But if you remove the form in the body section from the code, an error "object does not exist or is null" results.
I wander what gets loaded the fastest (1-2 or 3) in what succession:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function andAction() {
// doing stuff
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="andAction();">
<script type="text/javascript">andAction()</script></body>
just in the head and nothing more
This I am sure off:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function andAction() {
// doing stuff
}
</script>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">andAction()</script></body>
just in the head and nothing more (should be 1)
Third and last which is faster:
body onload or window.onload
Is there a way to set the focus on a form field without using focus()? I use ajax to build the form and if I try to set the focus using focus() an error is generate because of the form hasn't been built by ajax. So, it would be nice if I could set the focus() as I built the form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm seeing a difference in behaviour between
window.onload = f();
and
<body onload="f();">
Specifically, window.onload appears to fire before all the elements of
the page have been rendered. As the difference is consistent across
IE/Moz/Opera, I'm assuming it's deliberate - can anyone point me
towards where this behaviour of window.onload is defined in the
documentation? TIA. Code:
I'm working on a little project where they have a slider form and I need to piggyback a tiny line of code into the validation function for the form.
What I need to happen is when the user has filled in all the fields and clicks the submit button AND the data validates THEN a class is added to the body tag. My jQuery knowledge is very minimal - I added the code to where I 'thought' its supposed to go but it didnt seem to work.
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#scroller').css('overflow','hidden');
// Set up the scrollable registration
var wizard = jQuery('#scroller').scrollable();

I need to have the cursor appear in the first input box on various pages. When I use the onLoad event in the body tag it works, but anywhere else it doesn't.
The problem is aside from my intro page, most of my other pages use a header and footer on the server side. The body tag is inside the header so I don't have access to it on the other pages. I tried adding a simple function at the bottom of the page, but it does not work.
<script>
function setFocus(){
frm.Name.focus();
}
setFocus();
</script>
How do I focus() to a form-field, from a iframe - to its parent frame?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to give an input or textarea field the focus and set the focus to begin right at the end of the current text in the field?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to set focus to the first field in the page's only form, when the page opens. I suspect that this might involve some client-side coding.
Surely by now someone here has done this in a PHP context.
I've got this hidden div that pops up using jQuery when the login menu item is clicked.
<div class="entry-wrapper" id="reg-login" style="display:none;">
<div class="t"></div>
<div id="loginFormHolder" class="c">
<div class="close">
<a href="index.php" class="spotlight-close"> </a>
</div> <!-- close -->
<div class="login">
<div> <!-- blank --> .....
What I'm trying to do is setting the input focus on the user_session_username text input and the code is not working. The div pops up but the focus is never put into the user_session_username edit field.
I have managed to create a very basic form validation script that I can retrospectively add into current forms with the least effort.
As far as the validation goes I am sure that the script is not pretty, but it does work. However, I have failed to manage to get it to return the focus to the first field that errors.
My abortive attempts are not included in the attached script because I have tried and failed with many different attempts that I have confused myself. I would appreciate any advice that could point me in the right direction to place the focus in the first error field found. Code:
I'm developing am income tax calculator, and everything is going swell. Currently the user can type in their adjusted gross income (AGI), hit submit, and learn the amount of income tax they would pay, their tax rate, and their income after tax.
I've played around with the events to get the submit button to work in FF, IE, Chrome and Safari -- and I've gotten the enter button to work before with some stock code, but here's the catch: when the user presses enter, i want the focus to leave the input box. I don't care where it goes (submit button, I suppose?) but i need it to leave the input field so the onfocus="clearText(this);" event can fire when they return to type in a new income.
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function TotalGrossPerYear() {
var Calc = document.NetIncome;
if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) {

I'm now working on kind of invoice form which in it the user can add as much input field as he wants.
The problem is that after adding a new input field - the content in the other fields is deleted.

I have a form which open in a jQuery Fancybox Window. The fancybox window opens automatically when the page loads. When it loads, I would like it to set focus on the username field in the form in the Fancybox window. I have found that this must be done when fancybox is envoked, thus I have tried the below code which does not work :
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#hidden_link").trigger('click');
document.getElementById('login_form.username').focus();
});
</script>
The form name is "login_form" and the field name is "username".
I need to execute a JavaScript function "onload". The only problem is I
don not have access to the <body> tag as it is a part of the standard
page-header include (a separate file). How could I have certain pages
execute my function() onLoad?
The function basically just sets the original values of fields so that I
can determine if a field has been changed or not, which aleviates unnec.

Does onload always have to be in the <body> tag?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to get a popup working on my site. I use headers and was wondering if there is a way to put the onload outside of the BODY tag? My header has the BODY tag in it. I only want the popup to come up on one page and not all the pages that use my header.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a page that takes a person to another page automatically:
<body
However, the script waits for the entire page to load before actually taking the person to the other page. What I need to do is to have a script that takes the visitor to the target page as soon as the page appears (without waiting for ads to load completely). How can this be done?
Just wondering if anyone knows if it's bad practice to put multiple body tags within one document? I'm using a template system (php) that loads template files into a main template (already containing a body onLoad()), and the content files also have a body onLoad() preloading functions intact. It seems to be working but wanted to know if there is anything wrong with this? What about broswer specific issues?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working in a template environment, and I can't change the <body onLoad> tag (it already had a muti-use function on it.
On the specific page I'm working on, I need some layer visibilities changed (dependant on a cookie) which seemingly can only can be done in the onLoad event.
so I need to add to or capture the onLoad for one page, and no others with a script included in the body data? (and of course it needs to be cross-broswer compliant 5+)
Is it possible to make a javascript call before "<body onload='...'>"?
What I'm doing is a preview of numerous images in an iframe and I want to
resize the iframe to match each picture. Normally I'd use the 'onload' (on
the src-page holding the image in the iframe) attrubute, but it's not called
until the picture has finished loading. I'd like to resize the iframe before
(or at the same time) the image starts loading.
I have a script that I have been using for a while that works with 3 sets of div tags. The first is visible and the second two are hidden. Using a select menu you can swap which div tag is visible by selecting that option.
Now this works fine using <body onload="opts();"> to call the function the only problem is that the page I am running this script on has a lot of images and the second two tabs are visible until the page has completely finished loading. This is only for a matter of a second or two but still a problem.
I am not very smart when it comes to JavaScript and I have messed around with adding window.onload = opts(); to the script but kind of unsuccessful. This works in the sense that the second two sets of div tags are invisible from the start of loading the page. There are only two problems with this solution.
1. The script isn't functional (can't swap visibility on div tags) until the entire page has finished loading. -- I can live with this if I have to
2. There is a javascript error message in IE 'null' is null or not an object. This could potentially scare some people away when they see they yellow triangle in the lower left-hand corner of the window.
