And by the way I already tried this in the body tag:
And the body tag thing actually DID close the window if the user clicked on the original calling page. BUT the window also closed if the user clicked on a combo box on the popup (because the body lost the focus), and that was not good..
Put a link on my page that will open an external site (over which I have no control) in a pop-up window. When the user closes the pop-up, I want my original page to redirect to another page. The difficulty I'm having is that I can't add any code to the page in the pop-up as it's not my site.
I have an input element (textbox) on a webpage, and capture the onblur event of the input (textbox) control to do validation. My problem is that when the page is closed or the user click on another window the onblur event of my textbox gets called too.
I need the onblur event handler to be called only when the textbox loses focus b/c another element on the SAME webpage gets focus, but not when the user clicks on another window or closes the browser window.
I want to close a popup-window with the onBlur eventHandler. function closeIt() { setTimeout('window.close()',2000); } <body onBlur="closeIt()"> html </body>
There is a form on my page, and when a input-field gets focus, body looses focus and the window closes. That's not what I want. I want to close the window, if focus goes to another window or application, but not when someone tries to fill that form.
Using Javascript, ASP.net with C# code behind. I am validating a textbox using the onblur event. It is being validated in that it must have an alphanumeric entry before the user tabs off of it to the next box. The validation part works, the part that doesn't work is that I get the validation alert textbox if I close the window. I have a workaround in that I am assigning that textbox a character using windo.onberforeunload but I know that isn't right.
Here is what I have so far... Code behind on Page_Load... txtCLBRTNWC.Attributes.Add("onblur", "return reqVLD(this)");
Here is my textbox field... <asp:TextBox ID="txtCLBRTNWC" runat="server" Width="75" MaxLength="4" ontextchanged="txtCLBRTNWC_TextChanged" TabIndex="1" onkeyup="clbwclngCHK(this);" ></asp:TextBox>
And here are the 2 functions being used... function reqVLD(alphanumericChar){ var chk = /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/; // var boxid = document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value; // var matchArray = boxid.match(chk); if(document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value.match(chk)){ return true; } else { document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").focus(); document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value = ""; alert("Please enter a Work Center."); return false; }} function clbwclngCHK(obj_in)//When txtCLBRTNWC entry hits the max of 4 auto focuses to next box. { if (obj_in.value.length == 4) document.getElementById("<%=txtSTRTDT.ClientID%>").focus(); }
Here is my work around... window.onbeforeunload = function (){ document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value = "1"; }
User has to enter something in box before they can move on. This is checked and validating using an onblur event. Problem is, the onblur event fires if closingexiting the window.
I have a main page that opens a pop up window when the user clicks a link. The pop up window is a menu and when the user clicks the item, it populates a form input element on the 'parent' window.
My question is: this new populated form element is the value that I use to change a style.
onchange does not watch this form element because of getelementbyid, so it doesn't trigger the function needed to change the style. onchange works fine if I just manually input a value into the text box.
Any other way to fire the function off when the user picks their selection from the pop-up window? I was thinking I could use window.opener.function()? But how do I pass the form from the parent window? From the pop up window, I don't use this.form, what do I use?something like window.opener.form[0] ?
I want to detect when the window is moved, in order to trigger something. I have managed to get the current X and Y coordinates, but other than checking periodically for changed coordinates, is there a way to do this? I want to be able to trigger the code pretty instantly when the window is moved. Probably not possible without checking every half a second - this would be too cpu intensive right?
I am having one td and inside td using one control(it may be any control like textbox,combobox) and am using onblur events for td and aswell as the control inside td. when am moving focus from this td to another td the parent onblur event is firing first and then child control(like textbox, combobox) onblur event is firing. The problem is am validating that entire td (what ever the value user updates) in one method. so in this scenario that validate method is calling when i move the focus onto child control. After entering the value in the child control that child control onblur event is firing and am unable to fire the parent control(td) onblur event.
Ok so I have a site that I want to automatically close the window when the focus is lost from the page. For example, if the user clicks off the page to something else on there desktop I want the page to close. So far I have managed to do this but the grids on my page and the scroll bars all trigger the close function when clicked on. Is there anyway to make the scroll bars and drop down boxes not trigger the function?
I've got a window with a "<body onBlur="window.close()"> tag that keeps closing prematurely. It happens when the user clicks on text inside a table in the same window. Apparently IE decides that the <body> no longer has the focus if the <table> within the <body> has it. Firefox handles the page correctly as does MS 5.
This may be one of those "security features" that came along with Windows XP SP2, but wherever it came from, it's a real pain in the you-know-what.
I wanna implement a button that shows the context menu. I already implemented[URL].. I am now searching for hours about those 2 terms but have not found an answer yet. Also tried to trigger it myself but had no success yet.
I have two textboxes, each of them is controlled with a function called checknumber. It controlles if they are empty or a valid number and I connected this function to onBlur event of these textboxes. The problem is that when I wrote an invalid number to the first and click the second one, It gives continuously error messages. How can I solve this problem ?
1. Have the "Total" field update whenever a user changes a value in field 1 or field 2. 2. Perform some validation on those fields 3. Have the onblur and validation NOT fire when the user clicks the Cancel button.
Problem: click in the first field, don't enter a value, then try to press Cancel - the validation is happening, and I don't want it to.
This third point above seems to be the kicker. Anyone know a way I can go from a text field to clicking the "Cancel" button without firing the onBlur event? I normally don't like doing validating on-the-fly like this, but my application has the requirement of updating that Total box dynamically, so I have to perform field-level validation as I go....
I cannot seem to get these two events to work together. If I change them to say onmousedown and onmouseup, they seem to work fine. In this case, the onclick appears to work properly but onblur does not kick in.
For those who have been using Outlook Express, you must be pretty used to the fact that whenever you focus on the preview section, the header for the preview turns from grey to blue, while the text turns from black to white. Code:
I have few textfields and dropdowns in my jsp, form is submitted on clicking an image link.
In case there is an error for instance some text field is left empty, then message is displayed below respective fields ( using spans, inner html). The message is displayed onblur event of the field. So if there was an error then message is displayed, now if the user corrects the error and clicks the link then first the message disaapears ,which is desired ,but he has to click again to submit the form. please suggest a way to handle this. So that user doesn't have to click the link twice to submit the form.I tried having onmousedown and onfocus events on image , but then sometimes the form was submitted twice which gave backend errors.
I am trying to use onBlur to get to pictures to pop up when a user leaves a text box. The only requirement is that a user must enter any value into the text box if they want the pictures to pop up. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out why my code will not work

I am currently working on a website that administers timed online tests, and we are trying to implement some measures to reduce the ability to 'cheat' while the test is running. These include disabling right clicks, and handling keystroke events. Additionally, we would like to end the test if the maximized browser popup window where the test is loaded happens to lose focus during the testing session.
I have implemented some code to call an event handler that will end the test if a window.onblur event is triggered during the session. It is working fine in Firefox, but IE seems to interpret window.onblur events differently. Basically, in Firefox I can click anywhere within the window without a window.onblur event triggering, but in IE if I click outside of the test table or form element etc. into whitespace, for instance, it fires.
In addition to using window.onblur, I have also tried top.onblur, and also putting onblur in the body tag of my html: <body bgcolor="#ffffff" onBlur="lostfocus()"> Again, both work in Firefox, but neither of these alternate methods seem to restrict IE in the appropriate manner.
So my question is this: is there any way to craft this such that IE will play nice and trigger the event ONLY when someone clicks outside of the browser window (on to the start menu, for instance)?
<script language="javascript"> <!-- window.onblur=lostfocus; function lostfocus(e) { // student has attempted to cheat, end test } // --> </script>
function checkLossDate() { alert("Test"); var lossDD=document.frmSicsClmHdrSetup.txtLossddFrom.value;
The first three lines of the function.The first alert not being called. I have used the same logic in one of my other JSP's.There it worked fine. I know i am missing some silly things.
I'm having some trouble with the "onBlur" event in the BODY tag. Ideally, what I want to happen is that when someone leaves window A, window A executes a command. I had put
<body onBlur="savePage();">
I have a couple of problems. On IE 6 (win2000), whenever I put the cursor focus on a textfield within window A, the "savePage" function is invoked. And on Mozilla Filefox 0.9.1, the event never launches even when I leave the window.
Does anyone know how I can solve these respective problems?
