Highlight Next Element When Down Key Press?

Apr 17, 2011

I followed the tutorial from phpacademy found here:

part1 (youtube)
part2 (youtube)
part3 (youtube)

The tutorial is great and I successful got the code to work correctly. I am working on adding additional functionality. When a list of suggestions pop up. If the user presses the up or down key it cycles through the list highlighting the focused suggestion (Just how google works). I currently have two problems.

First is I have a variable set to determine which position of the list should be highlighted. It should increment by 1 if the down key is pressed. However it increments by much more for some reason.

Second problem is I can't figure out how to keep the suggestion highlighted. It will only highlight when a key is pressed down.

Java Script

Code:

var suggestionPosition = 5;
function clickSearch(){
$("#searchBox").keyup(function(event){
if(event.keyCode == 13){

[Code]...

Onmousedown Highlight DOM Element?

Jul 30, 2010

I am looking to have a javascript that can be included a page that can highlight or set a border for a the div, p, span, or img DOM element when clicked on. Now this element may or not have a element name or id. And also, the code on the individual objects do not have a onmousedown behavior.Lets say for example there is this code.

<div class="HeaderLogo">
<div class="logo">Copyright © <?php echo date('Y'); ?> My Website All Rights Reserved.<br />
<img src="../images/template_2/website-logo.png" alt="MY Website - CMS" width="413" height="51" />[code]....

And in the browser, I wanted mousedown on a section of a page and highlight the parent object. Suppose I moused-down on 'My First Sentence Text', its parent would be that p tag. Is there a way I could reference that p tag so that I could highlight it with a border. Granted, this would be a no brainer if that p tag already have an id and name, but in this it does not.

Key Press Events In IE?

May 2, 2009

I'm doing a tutorial from a book to drag and drop elements on a page into a shopping cart. I had everything working fine in IE until I added the function for key presses. What it should do is when 1 is clicked, the first item is moved into the cart, and if I press 1 again the item goes back to where it started.

The function that's giving me problems is keyDrag (at the bottom). I included the other functions in case you need to see them because keyDrag calls them. The error I'm getting in IE is "object expected" and it's at the line marked below in the keyDrag function.

What happens when I press 1 is the item that's supposed to go to the cart appears at the cursor as if I clicked and dragged it. But if I drag it manually into the cart, and then press 1, it will snap back to its original place without problems.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
if(isNS) document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN | Event.MOUSEMOVE | Event.MOUSEUP);
document.onmousedown = grabIt;
document.onmousemove = moveIt;
document.onmouseup = dropIt;

[Code]...

Detecting Double-press Of A Key

Dec 31, 2010

I want to detect the double-press of the space key. However, I want a single press of a space key to have a different function. The double-tap of space should only count if the taps of space are no more than, say, a half second apart.

For example: The user hits space once, and javascript begins performing one action. 1/3rd of a second later, they hit the space bar again, and since that is within our threshold of 1/2 of a second, the action that began because the user hit the spacebar once should be cancelled, or undone (which I can write later) and the action when the user hits the spacebar twice should begin.

JQuery :: Add +1 If Press A Button (increments)

Nov 1, 2011

how to create an increment once you press a button. It has to be kind of like this:

$i = 1;
if ("#button").click(function() {
add one to $i;
alert($i);
});

Every time you press the button, the value $i should increase by +1. So if I press the button 5 times that should give the value 6.

I think I have to use a loop or something but I don't know how.

Press A Button But Stop It After So Many Clicks?

Jun 25, 2009

I'm really new to Javascript, and really know basically nothing about it. What I want to do is press a skip button on a page, then wait for the next page to load completely before pressing the skip button. I want the script to stop after the first five skips, though. I plan on making this into a GreaseMonkey script for my own personal use, if that info is needed, too.

Textarea Key Press Disables Dropdown Add In Firefox?

Aug 1, 2010

My script works ok in IE but not in firefox.Basically i have a dropdown list that onclick adds the values to a textarea field on same page. It works ok if you just select from the dropdown to begin.However as soon as you press a key with the cursor in focus of the textarea it disables the further addition from the dropdown.This doesn't happen in IE so it's probably a syntax error.'m new to all this and i search the internet to build the scripts by trial and error -this is my way of learning. Anyway here is the code;avascript:

function test(){
document.getElementById('taid').innerHTML+=document.getElementById
('selid').value;
