JQuery :: Close Datepicker When Input Loses Focus?
Apr 23, 2010
At the moment, I have datepicker working on my page, and I really like it. When I tab through my form, and the date field receives the focus, the calendar opens. I pick a date and it closes. but some times I'm tabbing backwards through a form, or tabbing over a date field that already has a date in it, and just want to "tab on by". Datepicker open when the date field receives the focus, but does not close when the date field loses the focus.
I have to execute some code on the onchangeevent of a SELECT / RADIO. On IE9, it works fine. But on IE7, IE8 and Chrome, the event fires only after I lose focus from the SELECT / RADIO concerned. I tried addEventListener(), $("#some_control").attr("change", some_function), $("#some_control").change()but all in vain.
When dialog pops up and when I want to select date from datepicker but clicking on input datepicker is under dialog. What option make it to be on top ?
I have this bit of code that works (closes .actions-drop when anything else is clicked): $(".actions-drop").click(function(e) { e.stopPropagation(); }); $(document).click(function() { $(".actions-drop").hide(); }); However, I have a datepicker within .actions-drop and whenever that a date is clicked .actions-drop closes (not what I want). I tried adding 'ui-datepicker' to the first function, but that doesn't seem to work.
When datepicker closes the calendar window I'd like to pass both the date and the id of the <input> tag in the code below. The documentation mentions 'this' but no info on how to use it or how to use 'inst'.
This is frustrating! I'm using the stock jQuery UI Datepicker; it will open on click, but not on focus. What's strange is, if I tab through the entire page and come around to the target field again, it
<em>does</em> open! Here's my HTML: Code HTML4Strict: <ul> <li class="black bold"> <label for="datepickX" class="labelDatefield">Select activation date for [ProductX]:</label> [Code]...
I'm using the datepicker plugin, I want to define minDate as the value of another input (it's also a date) but this code is not working : $("#date_retour").datepicker({ changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy', minDate: $("#date_depart").val(), maxDate: $("#date_depart").val()+1m, defaultDate: $("#date_depart").val() });
The datepicker allows a default date to be set in a format such as "+7d" or even "+1m +7d", etc... However, is it possible to allow the user to input in this format as well directly into the input field that is defined as a datepicker? It looks like there is validation happening on each keystroke which is limiting what character classes can be entered.
I'm using some javascript to generate multiple input text fields with the same name of additionalDate[] but cant seem to get datepicker to work on it.Here is the datepicker code:
I have the date picker working grand on an input field, what I need to do is submit the value to two different input fields in two different formats, so a textbox and a hidden field, the textbox has the long format which is what I'm currently using bu tI need the hidden field to have the value like '2011-02-01'.
My problem involves input elements not being visibly updated after $('#selector').val(...) and non-working datepickers (the hasDatepicker class is attached, but the datepicker control doesn't fire up when the input gains focus).
I have a calendar, based on fullCalendar and the fcalendar bundle which chains the fullCalendar to a datepicker and a MySQL/PHP backend.
Now, the base functionality of datepicker works, but it is not sufficient; I need some more attributes for my calendar entries, including date information (including the start and end values, since they must be editable, rather than changing them via drag'n'drop only). Since the html of the form is somewhat complex, it is loaded from a .php page, which is a major change related to fcalendar, where id (#myGeneratedEditor, in my case) is built using HTML code in formStart and formEnd
Here is some code:
The summary of problems: the values which are attached via .val() don't show up the datepickers (one so far) don't / doesn't show up
With this setup it is possible to have the user enter an invalid value "1899/5/11". The text box show this value.
1) If it is an invalid value, I don't want to allow it.The user can enter a "short" year like "51/8/21" which is actually "1951/8/11".
2) Since Datepicker is making assumptions about the "cutoff year", I would want to explicitly show in the input control the assumed year.The user can input an incomplete entry like "5/2".
3) Since this is also invalid input, I don't want to allow it.The user can input a bogus day value as in "1956/08/44". Datepicker assumes/transforms the day to 4. This is not WYSIWYG.
4) In this case, this is also bad data entry and I don't want to allow it.
Is there a better way than what I have done in onClose event handler?My goal here is to not allow bad data entry and to also make assumptions made by Datepicker consistent with WYSIWYG.[code]
I have an html button that calls & open another browser window on the onmouseup event, but once I close the popup new browser window my button has focus & is like selected.
I want it not to be selected or clicked or has focus, how do i loose the focus after close of popup window?
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?
why datepicker is sending the current date when the input field is empty? this field is not required and can be left empty and is optional if a user wants to enter a date. i thought if the field was empty then no value should be sent.
I have an input text in which i use datepicker.When i select a date from the datepicker it doesn't work, but when i type the date manually data are loaded correctly.
I need to show the date picker in an input field that is inside a form. I have index.php which has the code for the date picker, I just need to link it to the input field. I have the form in another file as follows:
I have a problem with the datePicker that I am trying to solve this for the past 2 days now.Looked at all the tutorials and posts but nothing helped.My problem is that I want the datePicker to return the date as: dd/mm/yyyy and whatever I tried, the input field that gets the selected date displays it as: Tue Apr 26 2011 00:00:00
I've created a form using datepicker to choose the birthdate, now I'm trying to control what's in my inputs, but I have issues when it comes to the input of my datepicker
When I have focus on my input I diplay a message to guide the user, when the event blur happens I check if the input contains a valide date and display an alert when it's wrong, but the blur is launched even when the user clicks on the calendar of datepicker, so the alert message is displayed which isn't supposed to happen
I'm looking for a way to wait for the user to select a date before executing the blur, or at the blur event check if the calendar is open or closed before doing any control
I'm using thisjQuery validationEnginebut I'm having a problem validating input fields which are transformed usingJonathan Leighton's datepicker. I need to validate that two dates are the same, so i have a custom callback (validateDOB) to check this. When I run this callback in the firebug console it correctly tests the values against each other, but the callback isn't triggered with the validation engine. I am not sure if i am missing something obvious here. This is the order I load my js files, then my instantiation calls and the callback (see below).
I would like to clear a search input field on focusout(), without extra button for reset or something similar. I filter list when users type something in search field but when they click outside the form, search filed should be cleared.
I have some accordions within jquery tabs. Within some of the accordions I have input boxes, select boxes etc. I have no issues with the select boxes, but with the input boxes clicking into them does not give focus to them and I cannot type anything in. However, right-clicking a couple of times do then allow text to be types in.
Example section from accordion with input that cannot get focus:
<h3><a href="#">Search by a reference</a></h3> <div> <fieldset> <label for="invoiceRef">Invoice Reference</label> <input type="text"
