JQuery :: .select & .focus Within An Eventhandler (firefox)?
Feb 18, 2010
I know there are some issues trying to use .focus() and .select() within another.eventhandler (for the same object) in firefox. What I don't know is, howto workaround?
Is it possible to extend jquery to include a function that will select elements with focus. In the same way :input selects all inputs :selected selects all selected etc but instead :focus or focused: which would select the focused element. I have a table which includes an input field on each row (like a simple datagrid). Id like to be able to hit an access key and delete the row (input textbox) which has focus ie the row which the cursor has been placed in.
I found this but it selects the first input textbox only for some reason?... and not the one with focus. $.extend($.expr[':'], { focused: function(elem) { return elem.hasFocus; } }); var id = $('input :focused').val(); console.log(id);
I have this code that unhides a select box when the user clicks in the parent li containing it. Now I just want the .focus to seem more natural to the user as if they had just clicked in a normal select. As it stands, you have to click on it again to make it active (view the selections..)
I just started using the grate validate plugin today and I can't really find an example of what I'm trying to customize...
Basically, I think it's confusing for a select element to change on focus instead of on change, meaning: the user forgets to select an option, the drop down is highlighted with some CSS, so use selects an option, but CSS error styling doesn't go away until the user clicks somewhere else on the page... A minor gripe, but I'm a big believer of the Steve Krug "don't make me think" school ;)
I'm still not quite clearly on how to implement own customizations of this plugin even after going through the docs...
I have a parent page that opens a popup (chat) i wont that where someone send a msg to a user the popup to get focused.
I have a function on popup window that runs everytime a user get msg I put "self.focus()" on that function and this work fine in IE but not in Firefox.
I have to take this class online and it requires that I sit for 45 minutes if I start to do something different say go on Facebook in a new tab it stops the timer... I use Google Chrome as a web browser and was wondering if there is anyway to use the console to remove the Window.blur trigger
I have a scrolling div that I am changing text color and background color on a mouse over of a marker on a map. I also want the div with the proper ID to come to the viewable area of the scrolling div when I mouse over the marker on the map. Code:
I have a problem where there is an onBlur check for a valid entry. The javascript checks the entry and if it is incorrect it does an alert and then puts the focus back onto the incorrect field, so valid data has to be entered.
This is a generic function so it uses 'this' - onBlur="chkMonthDob(this);"
The function then checks it and puts the focus back on 'this' if it is wrong. This all works fine in IE but in Firefox it does not put the focus back.
Using the Firefox getaround :- setTimeout("document.orgsp.d1_org_dob_mth.focus()", 1); works, however, when it is called with 'this' as a parameter you don't know what the field is to be focussed on, so I had hoped that putting :-
var focusField = myField.id; setTimeout("document.getElementById(focusField).focus()", 1);
would work - but Firefox say focusField is undefined.
I'm trying to call/ mimic an onchange function/ event after a user has clicked a checkbox. In response to which a buncch of other ones need to be checked as well.
The caveat is that each of those child-checkboxes need to have an onchange action take place. All of these child-boxes *have* got a working onchange eventListener attached (thx to an old post of Lasse Reichstein Nielsen).
Following a snip that suggests (or so the debugger suggests) that the inputElement.onchange is void, so calling onchange becomes a bit hard. Any suggestions?
I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked. The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour, however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12 (linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror....
When setting the tabIndex property for an element, Firefox also displays, like IE, a dotted rectangle around the focussed element. With IE you can set hideFocus=true, which does not work with Firefox.
I have a frame set (as per MS FrontPage 2000). It has a contents and a main frame. The contents frame has a menu bar written with with javascript (in the context of a table). In IE6.1 everything works fine as it also does in firefox if I call the contents frame directly (i.e. outside of its frameset). However, if I call my main page (index.html) which invokes the frame set, the contents frame javascript menubar onmouseover function doesn't seem to work though if I reload the contents frame directly it then does. Code:
I'm trying to create a control which when the mouse button gets pressed on one div an absolute positioned div pops up in place of the cursor. From there the cursor should interact with the dialog before the mouse button is released. In other words one element will catch onmousedown, display the popup, and the popup element will catch onmouseup. This works fine in IE as the popup automatically accepts following events, but my problem is in Firefox.
In Firefox everything behind the popup still receive events even though they can't be seen (hidden by the popup). I have to release the mouse button and then click on the popup again before it accepts the onmouseup event.
I also used a different cursor on the popup to see if Firefox recognized it was there at all. Still the cursor doesn't change until I release themouse button and move the cursor across the popup element.
I've tried focus/blur, timeout delays, hiding the first element (the one which receives onmousedown) but nothing works.
The only thing that works is hiding the entire body and then using setTimeout to show the entire body again 1ms later. Obviously though that is very ugly.
I have an application where users select a number from 10 dropdown boxes in table rows. The problem is if they choose the last value the cursor drops down to several rows below. What I really want to do is to focus the row and move the cursor back to the row the user just selected. I tried stuff like: $.scrollTo('table tr.debit'); $('table tr.debit').focus(); $('table tr.debit').select(); But the cursor doesn't jump back to the row and the row doesnt highlight (debit and credit classes highlight the row on hover).
a very draft code, what i wanna do is when i click on the form, the value will auto be selected. but i cant seem to do so, and i am not very sure of the problem.
I wrote code for a scramble word game and I am trying to set focus everytimge I click on check button..I've got it so it will set focus when I start game, but whenever I put put setFocus() on the onclick of the button it will not work.is there any way the I can have two procedures for onclick.like <input id="inbox" type="text" /><input type="button" value="check" onclick="guess()" "setFocus()"/>I also want to selectall if the word is incorrect not sure how to go about doing this..I did research on this problem, but they all give me examples on applying just one thing to the onclick not two..
I'm trying to write a data checking function that after it completes should return the focus to the text box that was checked and highlight everything in it IF the value was unacceptableHere is the function:
<script type="text/javascript"> function chkValidity(numToCheck) {
Using the following code, how do I create an external JavaScript file that puts the cursor in the textbox, upon the second radio button being clicked, and automatically selects the second radio button, upon the textbox being clicked?
Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head>
I am trying to add select items via jquery to a select control. The following code works perfectly in IE, Opera. Chrome and Safari, but for the life of me I cant get it working in firefox. I really don't think its a bug but I must be missing something obvious.
The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
I've seen a variety of implementations around that enable selecting all or no checkboxes by using a checkbox to toggle that choice. However, I'm trying to find a way like this: I have two text links on my page: Select All, and Select None. How can I get those links to call a jquery function to select all or select no checkboxes in my form? As a little food for thought:
<head> $(function() { //function for selecting all or none...is there a way to make a single function that passes in a parameter to differentiate between selecting all or selecting none, or do I need a separate function for both?[code]....
