KeyPress Capitalize Function Broken In IE9
Oct 10, 2011A common javascript function that capitalizes input as user types (onkeypress) no longer works as of IE9Need a function that also works in IE 9 that doesn't not change method call or interface (as it's used in 150 places throughout application).
CALL:
[CODE]
el.onkeypress = function(el) {
return c_capitalizeInput(el);
}
[CODE]
FUNCTION:
[CODE]
// Intercepts keyboard input and capitalizes keystrokes.
// Call with onkeypress="return capitalizeInput(event);"
// Compatible with both IE and Netscape/Mozilla
function c_capitalizeInput(evt) {
evt = (evt) ? evt : ((window.event) ? window.event : "");
if (window.event) {
// IE
if ((evt.keyCode >= 97) && (evt.keyCode <= 122)) {
evt.keyCode = evt.keyCode - 32;
} return true;
} else if (evt.which) {
// Netscape and Mozilla
key = evt.which;
if ((key >= 97) && (key <= 122)) {
key = key - 32;
evt.target.value = evt.target.value + String.fromCharCode(key);
return false;
} return true;
} else {
return true;
// Can't do anything for other browsers
}
}

Creating Function For Button Click On Enter KeyPress
Nov 18, 2009I have 3 button controls on my asp.net web page. This r html controls one of them I have set to default on form load. Using javascript how do I set the other 2 button to be clicked when it has focus & enter key is pressed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPage Capturing All Onkeypress Events By Calling Function KeyPress?
Sep 5, 2009I am currently trying to figure out some event stuff with Javascript. I have the page capturing all onkeypress events by calling my function keyPress, and passing the event as an argument.
The key presses get passed to a text field that I have on the page (even if it's out of focus at the time of the key press) by using textfield.focus() within my keyPress function. This seems to pass the event along to the text field so that it registers the stroke and handles it as if the field was in focus at the time of the key press.
My problem lies in that I need to then grab the new value of the text field for use with another part of the script. It seems though that with the way I'm setting focus, it'll execute the rest of my keyPress function (with the outdated text field value) before the text field handles the event.
Is there a way to yield the event to this text field first?
Sorry, this was a long post, but I guess here's a short recap: If I handle key presses via the body of the page, so that regardless of the text field's current state of focus it updates the text field accordingly, is there a way to have that happen first before the rest of my function that needs to use the new value of the text field?
JQuery :: Getting An Input Field's Value On Keypress?
Oct 15, 2010I've got a page that looks a little like this...
<input name="myField" id="myField" type="text"><br/>
<div id="output"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
[Code]...
The basic behavior that I want is for the output text to match exactly what I'm typing in input field above. The problem is that my output field lags behind my input field by a single letter. (I type in "hello world" and the output field says "hello worl") I'm guessing maybe that at the time the keypress event is fired, the letter hasn't actually been entered yet into the form field, but I don't know for sure.
Is there any simple way to get my output field to match up with what's in my input field in the above code snippet? Workarounds I've thought of are a) using keyup instead of keypress (works, but feels laggy), or b) Converting the event keyCode into a letter and appending it onto the end of the string (seems more complicated than it ought to be)

JQuery :: Simulating A Mouseclick In A Div From A Keypress?
Apr 29, 2010Is there a way of simulating a mouseclick in a div from a keypress?
In other words, if I press 2, I want it to simulate me actually having clicked in the div <div id="jplayer_next2"><a href="#">next</div>
Long version (for anyone wondering "WHY?")
Using the jplayer jquery plugin:
For some reason (and after 2 days I've given up trying to find out) I can't seem to directly call the function which is defined right there on the page:
function playListNext() {
var index = (playItem+1 < myPlayList.length) ? playItem+1 : 0;
if( index > 0 ) {
playListChange( index );

JQuery :: Why Does .keypress Fire Twice In An Input Box
Jun 9, 2011I have the following going on:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#addtext").keypress(function (e) {
var c = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
[Code]....
When I type a character into the input field, it gets echoed twice in the target area. I know it is getting fired twice because the alert box will pop up twice.
Jquery :: Trigger Event With Keypress?

Sep 26, 2009I'm writing a plugin for jQuery for catching 2 succesive keypresses. I'll paste the plugin I wrote below It doesn't work on Opera . The Developer tools of Opera gave no errors and I can't find any problems, it just doesn't work.(I've used Opera 10.0). o it only works on Firefox (tested on 3.0.14). I'm curious if there is a way to find out why it's not working on Opera and to fix it.

JQuery :: Call A Method From Current Class Using Keypress ?
Mar 30, 2011I have the following code in one of my pages. My problem is caused, because the method "processEvent" is never called, but I have no idea why. I guess it is broken, because I don't relay the "this" object correctly.

Keypress Event In DOM?
Jun 18, 2003DOM2 does not provide a key event module. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-keyevents) That's fine. I'm down with that.
According to the DOM3 Events spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-KeyboardEvents-Interfaces) (in last call), there's no keyPress event, only keyDown and keyUp. Instead (I guess) they've defined a new interface for text events (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-TextEvent), which provides one event type: textInput.
Should I not code event handlers for keyPress events if I wish to write DOM-compliant scripts? IE & Moz both register a keyPress; I'm sure that it won't be outphased. I worry instead about a new and better browser appearing and balking on my script because it's coded exactly to spec.

Stop DIV From Following Mouse On Keypress?
Apr 8, 2010Ive scoured the internet for scripts that make a <div> follow the mouse, and have found one that seems to work well. However, I want the <div> to stop moving when the CTRL or the SHIFT key is pressed, I dont care which. Hopefully, I can have a div that follows the mouse at an offset that contains some click-able items, so a menu is always by your mouse. Ive tried now more than a few times to put together a piece of code that can achieve this, but none have worked. Can somebody write a script that can achieve this, or point me in the right direction?Current JS for mouse follow:
var divName = 'mouseFollow'; // div that is to follow the mouse
// (must be position:absolute)
var offX = 15; // X offset from mouse position

Capture Keypress Inside A Textarea
Jul 23, 2005How do I capture the keycode inside a <textarea> in NN6+ and IE5.5+? I don't
want to add add document.keyPress function because I only want this to
occure when a specific textarea is selected and not fire for every keypress
in the entire document.
<textarea onkeypress="captureKeys();"....
but I cannot get a reference to the current event so i can ask for the
keyCode. In IE I can check the event.keyCode inside my function captureKeys
but this is not possible in NN6+.
Trapping/preventing Keypress In <input> Box
Jul 23, 2005I have an <input> box and i want to disable the apostrophe ( ' ) key, so
when you press it, no character appears in the input box. All other keys
should work ok.
I can trap the keypress event using "onkeypress=myKeypressHandler()" but,
beyond that, I'm stuck. I forget how to detect what key was pressed or how
to "null it out".
I'm using IE6 and users will be IE5.0 upward ONLY (trust me on this, suffice
to say it's not a website but an intranet application).
