Keyboard Focus Outline - Browser Back Button - Onmouseup And Blur
May 17, 2011
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.
I'm looking to have a lightbox pop up when a user clicks the Back button in their browser rather than just navigating back. The purpose is to ask a question with a Yes/No answer, and if they click No, I allow them to go back. The only thing I've found anything like this is the onUnload event, but that doesn't prevent them from going back. How should this be handled?
I 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();
If I perform a mousedown within a document, move the mouse outside the browser window, and then release the mouse button, the document.onmouseup event does not fire. Is there any way to detect a mouseup event outside the document?
Also, how can I get the relative coordinates of the cursor while it is outside the browser?
I am writing a prgram in php.when i click "log out "button ,it redirects to my first page "index.php".(username & password)and then by clicking back button in the browser ,it showing all my previous pages that i visited.I want to disable back button in the browser (javascript should support in all browser) using javascript or php
I have a jquery-powered "start page" that checks your log in and if successfull it slides in a "menu" of new places to go. The problem is, if you click back from one of the new places, the original "start page" looks as if you never logged in. You have to reload the page. Not very intuitive and this website is for kids. Now I've tried setting form field values with server session variables, javascript variables, etc etc but they all get reset when you click back. I've tried the "onunload hack" which I don't fully understand, and then read a bit about the onhashchange event which is from what I gather only compatible with HTML5 browsers...is there no way to detect if the user is already logged in when they click the back button or am I not doing enough homework?
I use append() to add html fragments to a page dynamically. This works fine until the user navigates to another page and then clicks on the browser back button. The dynamically added html fragments are no longer visible. I read somewhere that dynamically added elements are not remembered by the browser and therefore the back button will only render the original page (without the dynamically added elements).
I need some script to force the browser to reload/refresh when a page is reached from the back button.
EG You're on page A -> You click a link onto page B -> You Press Browser back to go onto Page A, it has old content that requires a reload.
Now, my page is currently php so I won't bother with my code here as I am looking for any solution (I have also posted in php forum).
Any JS solution that will trigger a reload on browser back is appreciated. I have tried a few ideas, most work in Chrome, IE always works, Firefox 4 and Opera 11 wont reload, simply fetching from cache I believe.
Named anchors and browser back button? Go here and click through the nav items at the top. Now click the browser back button! See how you have to now go back through all those named anchors? Is there some way using JavaScript (I imagine) to bypass all those?
I have one requiremnt,i.e, How to handle the browser back button event, when User click on the Browser Back button, i need to redirecting the our custom page, i.e Error page.
I found this script for filtering data in a table:[URL]
However say I type something in the filter, I click a link on the page, and then use the back button...the form resets. Is there a way to prevent this/leave the table filtered?
when you have a page that contains an iframe, and then navigate inside the iframe, hitting the browsers back button will only affect the contents of the iframe and not the entire page. I've been searching all over for solutions and cant find one that works for my current implementation.
function ShowPage(frame) { frames[0].location = frame+'.html' frame.contentWindow.location.replace(newUrl); } [Code]...
I have a large form that uses jquery's .change to rewrite html select forms, make some calculations, etc. It works great if I don't reload the page via a refresh or a back. If I click back or refresh it doesn't change some of my form's selections, but all of the jquery generated stuff doesn't recalculate. Is there a way I can trigger a re-evaluation? I tried
I recently updated from jQuery 1.4 (I think 1.4.4) to 1.5.1. Before the upgrade, when users pressed the browser's Back button, they would usually be taken back to a page with all their changes intact. If they had modified input values or clicked objects that caused other parts of the page to change, they would still see those changes. Back literally took them back to the exact thing they were looking at before. Under 1.5.1, Back takes them to the prior page as it was when it first loaded. What changed? Can I get the old behavior back?
I am trying to trigger an event once the user clicks the browsers back/forward buttons, I have built a system just like facebook where if the user has javascript turned on they get the full feature of the site which includes fast switching for example if someone goes to this page "example.com/index.php" and click a link to contact.php it would change the url to "example.com/index.php#!/contact.php" but what I need to know is if there is any way to change the pages content when the user goes back and forth through the fast switch pages? something like "history.back !== -1" or something like that.
Does anyone know how to make a text-inputfield automatically fucused, so when you enter a page you can just start typing without moving the mouse and clicking on the textfield??
it disables the submit button when my form is submitted (IDs are used). This action displays a result page. If the browser's Back button is pressed to change some of entered items, the submit button in Firefox is still disabled, while the same action in MSIE8 enables it again. I don't know if this is exactly JavaScript/browser/chache issue, how to get the submit button enabled 'automatically' Unfortunately the refresh button in Firefox doesn't help either (probably JSP issue) - I have to press Enter on the address bar which is not very obvious for every user.
I have a few document ready functions on my page. I don't want the functions to get executed if the page is loaded because the user clicks on the browser forward/back button. Is there a way to prevent the document ready functions from getting executed if the user clicks on the forward/back button?
I am wondering how Back, Forward browser button works for iframes. Does it bring back/forward iframe or top window? I remember I had before a problem because I wanted to bring back iframe and not top window as it did. But today I tested my Facebook app and was surprised to see it works as I need which means it brings back/forward iframe window and not top. Is it possible that Facebook has some javascript code which does that or is this normall behaviour?
How you handle back button scenario in firefox browser. The problem is when i click browser back button , the javascript on load is not executed and page is rendered from cache.
