This is a really basic question: what does blur mean, or what does it do when used in links as described below? I've tested it on Firefox 3.6 and Opera 11 and it behaves as I hope except for one thing. During testing if I use both keyboard and mouse to navigate within the same session, the browser history for the 'other' method is wiped out; it won't go backwards beyond the most recently used method. Is this not a surprise when you know what blur really means? I want the following (assuming Javascript is enabled):
a) Keyboard users to see a focus outline on navigation links.
b) Keyboard users to see the outline still there if they use the browser Back button, and continue tabbing from that link onwards.
c) Mouse users to NOT see an outline if they use the browser Back button.

Ive been working on a site with a dropdown menu. its styled with css and animated with java i would like to add support for keyboard navigation.

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:

It's pretty common to assign a click even to a <div> (or other tag), such as:
Code:
// JQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$("div").click(function(){[code]....
Of course this event won't be accessible from the keyboard, which might be nice. Now if it where an <a> tag, you can do this:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a").click(function(e){
alert("clicked");
e.preventDefault();
});
});
The click event will fire if you click the <a>, OR if you tab to it with your keyboard and hit Enter.My question is: is there a way to make elements other than <a> tags accessible in this way? I recently discovered if you define a tabindex on your div, such as <div tabindex="0">test</div>, you can tab to that div, but click events don't seem to fire if you use your keyboard. Are <a> tags the only tags that can work in this way?
Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives
focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in
the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
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.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus.A simplified version of my problem is:I've defined the function
function two_focus()
{
document.getElementById("two").blur();

I have this script:
PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function move_nav_2(){
alert("im ok!");

But cant work on IE neither Chrome.
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've been looking up lots of documentation and trying to work out a
cross-platform method of capturing a keyboard event and working out
which key was pressed. From what I can find, there doesn't appear to be
any standardised keyboard event interface other than this DOM 3 Events
W3C Working Group Note [1]. However, it is only a note and doesn't
appear to be implemented in any browser. Is there another standard that
I've missed?
The Gecko DOM Reference lists event.keyCode [2], but this doesn't appear
to be implemented in Firefox 1.0.2, as e.keyCode in the following
returns 0, regardless of the key pressed. Code:
I am trying to get this code to work in IE. It works on Firefox, but not on IE. Basically it blocks out scrolling the page down with space button, and registers up and down keys to run some code. The entire case statement including event registering and my code works completely fine in FF but it just won't work in IE (meaning that I can scroll down with space, and up and down with the up and down keys respectively).
By the way I put this function in the HEAD section.
window.onkeydown = function(event)
{
// No space scrolling!
switch (event.keyCode)

So, this code does what it's supposed to do (check an array for dis-allowed input and supply the appropriate keyboard for touchscreen users) but I was worried that maybe this wasn't the most succinct logic...
kb=2,kp=1;
for(var i in Setup.DisAllowed){
if(Setup.DisAllowed[i]==0)[code].....
Keeping in mind the Setup.DisAllowed array and APP.Module method are fixed in stone, would anyone recommend a better way to use the array to select the necessary keyboard?
Now, I have a script that has auto complete thing with the help of Javascript and DOM and AJAX, and I follow this tutorial [URL]
Well everything working great, but, I want 1 thing. When the Suggestion box is visible, and has all the options, and If I mouse over them, it will show the hover effect. I want to achieve the same with keyboard. Like if I press down for the first time, the first option will be selected, and then if i press down again, it will select (hover) the next and so on, and similar is the case with up arrow key. Now, when i press enter, the selected option should go to the text box as if I click on a item.
How to use the shortcut keys in jvascript? Any illustration with an example? Such as suppose on clicking the Ctrl+alt key, I want to display a prompt dialog box........How to do this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am building an application that acts like a terminal command line. I want it to be fully interactable with the major keys on the keyboard. I am using Jquery as the base for the UI. There are two methods I am trying.
1. Using a textarea element.
2. Using a div element
If I use the textarea then I cannot utilise the tab button to create an indent as it move the focus away from the element. In addition to this, I want to use tool tips as the user type and I'm doubtful I could create this with a textarea.
If I use a div element then I cannot use the backspace button as it forces my browser to go back one in history.
I would also want to use the div tag to create the text field as tooltips will be easier to implement plus I could add line numbers using a list element placed within the div.
i have created a keyboard that works and inputs the values pressed into a text box, i have then tried to expand on this and create a keyboard with multiple layouts that dynamically change when a button is pressed, i have done this by having an iframe within the page and calling the parent function but it will no longer input the text into the textbox. The CSS styling also works in Safari but won't on firefox.

I know that Javascript can disable keys on the keyboard and even the right mouse click. What I want to know is, is it internationally legal for a Website to render commands on the keyboard and or mouse useless while using a Website.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my web application I have put a javascript menu which has been created using AllWebMenu. On mouse over event the menu gets opened, and on the mouse out event the menu gets closed. This is fine but if I want to open a menu with the help of a short key like control + some key and want to navigate the menu items using the arrow keys. Is this possible? Please let me know as early as possible.

I'm wondering how to trigger something when the up,down,left,right directional keys are pressed. Lets say for now, if you press those keys, an alert comes up.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am so stuck on making a virtual keyboard using jquery. I found a great tutorial on nettuts however it requires you to click the letters on the virtual keyboard instead of using your actual keyboard and typing it. Does anybody know any tutorials that offer that or any suggestions? I know i have to use the keydown method but I really don't understand it. Here is an example of what it is suppose to be.
