I was wondering if there is any way with onload that I can highlight (blue
color) the select box field while simultaneously placing the mouse cursor or
focus on a text box immediately below it?
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 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 am using a calendar control based on the one at Brainjar.com. I have made the text field into which the date is inserted readonly. The problem with this is that if a user attempts to change the date manually by deleting part of the highlighted text, the browser goes back one page.
I want to force the user to use the calendar control and not input text directly into the textfield- readonly is not enough as the text can still be highlighted and then causes problems if the user attempts to delete.
I have a script that runs when the page is loaded to set focus to a field. If I have an alert immediately before I call focus() on the field everything is good. If the alert isn't there, the cursor never shows up in the field...however, it scrolls to the textbox and if I hit tab I move to the field immediately following it which would indicate I really do have focus on the field, yet the cursor isn't there so I can't start typing in the field. I thought it might be an issue with the page not being fully loaded but if that is the case why does it scroll down to the field and move to the next field after hitting tab. This is a hard one to explain and what complicates it more is that it's in an AJAX responseText environment so it's hard to nail down. Any ideas on this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using JS to dynamically change the CSS attrib's of User Input Fields in
a form. It works fine for text input fields but does not seem to work at all for
TEXTAREAS. (IE6) Is there a tweak that might overcome this limitation? Code:
I've written the following function who works great in IE
function OnlyCharacter(tekst)
{
if (tekst.length == 1)
{
if (tekst >= "A" && tekst <="Z")
{return true}
}
window.alert ("Only uppercase");
form1.Sectie.focus();
}
But in Netscape or Mozilla I can't bring back the focus on the field
(Sectie) when the input is not correct
I've tried the following :
1) var box;
box = document.forms[0].elements[1];
box.focus()
2)document.getElementById("Sectie").focus();
3) document.form1.Sectie.focus()
but nothing seems to work.
How must I do that in Netscape and/or Mozilla?

I have a set of fields(text) that are populated with data. When you tab through the fields some show focus by highlighting the entire word while others do not. What is the reason for this and can I force the highlighting?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAssuming I have the functions, "isNumber" and "isEmpty", how would I write the HTML INPUT type="text" element such that a person cannot exit the element unless they have typed in a valid number (as defined by the function isNumber) or left the field empty (as defined by isEmpty)? Thus, if they have typed in "aaa" and then pressed "Tab" to go the next element, they'd get a warning message, and be returned to the old element?
Ideally, this solution would work for both the latest versions of Firefox and IE.

Surely by now someone here has done this in a PHP context.

I've been building up my validation using the jquery validation plugin but I can't work out how to get a failed validation to default the focus to the first invalid input rather than to the last selected input. If there is no input field selected, when I submit then a failed validation will focus the cursor on the first field but if the cursor was left in a field and submitted then the focus stays there (if it's invalid) rather than jump to the first invalid input. From what I've read and seen, this is the expected behaviour but not what I want. Is there a way I can get the first invalid field and set the focus to that?
