I have a javascript program that uses a HTML table as an Excel-like grid. The user can use arrow keys to navigation the grid. When the user selects a cell and then hits <Enter> key, the program turns the cell from read-only to editable (an input box), and select all the text in the input box. When the user hits <Esc>, the program cancels the changes that the user has made and turns the cell back to read-only. So far so good. The problem is that as soon as the user hits <Esc> key and turns the cell back to read-only, I find that I cannot move the input focus back to the cell any more. Actually I cannot move the input focus back to _any_ cell in the table. When this happens, the user cannot use arrow keys to navigate the grid any more (like the grid has lost the input focus). The user needs to use the mouse to click at a cell in the table to get things working again.
The user can get around with this problem by un-selecting the text from the input-box before hitting <Esc>. But this is not something that I expect the user to remember to do. I need a way to fix this problem. I tried the logical thing and programmatically un-select the text before turning the cell back to read-only. But this actually made thing worse - this causes the workaround to stop working.
The only browsers that I have tested this program is IE6 and IE8. I have not tested this in any other browser.
Attached is a simplified version of the program that can show this problem in action. This simplified program first adds an empty table on the web page, and then creates an instance of the CEstGrid class that takes care of the grid. CEstGrid will add two rows of test data into the table with two columns in each row. The user should use a mouse to click at one of the cell, and the cell should be highlighted. The user uses arrow keys to navigate the table. When he reaches the end of the table, he will wrap around to the other side of the table. Let say the user reaches the cell in row-1 column-2, he hits <Enter> to change the cell to editable. He will find the text in that cell to be highlighted. When he hits <Esc> at this moment, he will find that he cannot use the arrow keys to navigate the table any more, and this is the problem. Please rename the test program from .TXT to .HTML to test it.
1. When I have the "<textarea>" code lines in it put a text-area on the page, but it puts all of the code following that first text-area line into the text-area box and doesn't execute that segment of code.
2. When there is no "<textarea>" (for the sake of seeing if the rest of it worked) it doesn't check the survey.
I'm stumped and can't figure out what to do at this point Code and pictures follow:
And then I have this code to determine the cell height.
So basically I need both my first and last cells to be able to have the mainbody cells height, but that code only works when placed in or after the cell being measured, in this case "mainbody", my question is this, is their a way to get the size of the mainbody cell before its done loading somehow?
I cannot change a site's dynamically generated code but I can add HTML/JS to it with jQuery. I have a three table cells in a row. I want to take the third cell and put it on a new <tr> The example code below illustrates what I am trying to do. The problem with using this
$("</tr><tr class='row_two'><td class='new_cell'> </td>").insertBefore(".third"); is that it makes a new <tr> but it closes that immediately instead of absorbing the <td> below it.
Ok i am trying to move a select box from one table cell to another, i have played around and managed to get my script to read values......but struggling to move elements.Looking at the table below I would like to move the select box to the 2nd table cell
I've got a text area called Notes in a form called frmMain.
And I've got a JavaScript function.
Within the JavaScript function what code can I use to move the cursor to the text area field and specifically within that field I'd like the cursor to be exactly 10 characters into the field?
I have a table that is 3 by 3. Each table I have a blank image. I wanted to make it, so when you click the cell area the image changes to the next and then to the third and then back to the blank. eg. blankimage, image 1, image 2. So, I am using the click function to activate it and the attribute option to change the image.
I am trying to make a gui for clients to edit a php page that displays html and javascript.
I want the user to be able to move html elements around and even edit it like add effects like fade in and out etc.
Then after all the changes I want to overwrite the existing php file that does this for that user. how can you make such changes and then save it to a file?
It's an html / javascript editor but using a gui instead of allowing them to directly touch the code. It would be a security risk if I allow such a thing. So I need to program a interface that would make such changes and save them to file.
Like how can you delete and add new javascript code to the file?
I am trying to figure out how to move to the beginning of text boxes and text areas after the event call in a form. For the most part, I have two text boxes that don't have a maximum length and one text area that could span several lines of text. When the event call is made to fill out the remaining text boxes and update the text area (if necessary) I would like to have each of these elements display from the first character on instead of remaining where they were at when the entries were made.
I have an assignment doing something simple with javascript, but I'm lost because I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. This is the assignment. I'm using the code provided and modifying it as stated, but I cannot get the image to move. My textbook doesn't provide answers (it honestly has just 2 chapters devoted to javascript) that I can find. Here is my code
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-W3CDTD XHTML 1.0 TransitionalEN" "http:www.w3.org/TR/xhtmll/DTD/xhtmll-transitional.dtd">
On click Vertical radio button it will load into the text area the code of a vertical table. If user select the radio on horizontal it will load another html code to put the table on horizontal display.
adding a parenthesis in the area code of the phone number and validating it also. I made some javascript code but it is not working. I just need the code in adding () in the area code.
For example: When user enter 10 digit number no spaces or dashes such as 0000000000 or 000-000-0000, I would like to have this format right away (000)000-0000. I know how to replace the characters but adding it is a tricky one for me.
1. First form on the page has questions with radio buttons. Each radio's value is a number so a score is assessed at the end.
2. Second form on the page is an email the admin form, which duplicates the score in one field.
Question: I would like to know how to write the form results to a text area in second form. However, I can't do this for one, and secondly, the value is a number, can I use labels? Here's the code I've 'made up' so far...
I am trying to create an Image menu for a site I'm working on that is rather simple in essence. When the user hovers over a button I have the menu will move left or right depending. I have not got a great deal into it yet as I have become stuck, as I'm new I figured it would be easier to troubleshoot if I build up the program bit by bit.
I'm trying to load cell values from a table, to a form in Javascript.... I can caught the cell values but I can't load them to a form....this is how I caught the cell values:
I'm a student learning web design and having a problem with some javascript code, I'm validating a text area, i dont have a problem limiting how many characters can be typed in the textarea, but I cant get it to give an error if there is no text in the text area. In the code below the validateMes() function is not working, the other functions work fine
If i use my ajax form on its <b>own</b> then it works and submittes the data... if i use my tab to call the script then the submit will not work and im presuming its the ajax.. i havent changed anything but the link!?!?
I'm making a page for my daughter's school - or trying to. they are having a silent auction and i'm trying to make a very simple bidding page. where i'm running into problems is passing the bid to a text box (read only) where it can be updated when a new bid is entered.
I would like this to be in the upper part of the page with the listings of the auction items, i just can't wrap my head around how to do this. I've gotten as far as the form for entering the bod and contact info. I have the php code to submit. i still have to get the validation js to make it more secure.
I'm trying to do the standard show/hide DIV, but the system I'm trying to use it in is basically this: My site has an application form submit area, and I've got a page where I can view a table with all applicants' details. One of the table fields is just a link to "view full message" (which is a text area field from the form), what I want to do is have this link display in a DIV elsewhere on the page. It needs to change according to which table row is selected.
I am running some javascript code which generates a popup window associated with a spell checking program. The way the program works, is that it takes the text out of a text field (passed as an object), spell checks the string, then puts it back into the text area field.
My text area is located within a flash form, and I am having trouble pointing to it. I am sure my spell checking program is working, as it works fine if I point to an html text area. Do I have to do something special to point to a flash form object?
