Mouseover With Layered DOM Elements - When DIV 2 Is Over DIV 1 The Mouse Events Don't Fire
Mar 17, 2010
Let's assume we have two divs:
[Code]...
DIV 2 is inside DIV 1. DIV 1 has mouse events (i.e. onmouseover, onmousemove). The problem is, when DIV 2 is over DIV 1, the mouse events don't fire. In my specific case, DIV 2 follows the mouse so it's always right below the mouse and always above DIV 1. How can I make the DIV 1 events fire?
1. Is there any possibility to find out if mouseover, mouseout or any other mouse event is taking place for the given element right now? 2. Is there any possibility to find out for which element such event is taking place right now?
I have used window.open to save a ref to the window which I want to fire off events on. I am combining this to do the following.
wref = window.open(url); var e = wref.$.Event('keydown', {keyCode: 70}); wref.$('#elem').keydown(function(e) {
[code]....
The thing which happends is that the alert comes twice. One time with the keykode 18, and one time with undefined in the window I am running the script. Also nothing comes up in the textbox where I am triggering the event.What I want to achieve is to fill in text in the input textbox and fire off all the related events in the opened window such as YUI autocomplete and others.
I am trying to "ajaxify" my site. Now I have one problem:
$("#posts").children().remove(); $("#tag-sidebar").children().remove(); $.each(data.Tags_Sidebar, function (indexInArray, valueOfElement) { var insert = $("<li>");
[Code]......
Now when I click one of those links (href1, href2, href3) generated, the click event won't execute! What's the problem? Also, is it right that I have to transfer the valueOfElement over, like I did? What does stopEventPropagation do? Prevent the href from being navigated to? That's what I am trying to do.
I want to make my site more dynamic... but i dont find out how this works...
On my site there is at the left side the navigation bar and at the rigt side i want to put a photo. The photo should change when someone puts the cursor over the links in the left side.
I have code that sets mouseover effect on a icons on an imagemap. The icons also have a mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events coded with Javascript and dhtml associated with them. I used ASP and ADO to query a database that shows up in the mouseover functionality. When I click on any of my icons while the mouseover event is in effect, I get the error.
"The instruction at Ɔx7d50a0c0' referenced memory at Ɔx01018'. The memory could not be 'read'." the browser then crashes.
After upgrading client machines with XP SP2, the browser just crashes when I simulate the error. I don't have a clue where the problem is from. Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
I am struggling to figure out a way to allow one element to be dragged, but still capture 'mouseover' events on other elements. Code:
It's not much code, but it's probably too much to paste here. The gist of it is, when a user clicks on element #1, I attach the mousemove event to element #1. That event remains attached until the user un-clicks (mouseup). During the time the user is dragging element #1, however, element #2 doesn't register the mouseover events it should.
I am reading values from a database into a table and I have it so that when the mouse is over a row the row is highlighted blue and when the mouse exits that row the row becomes white again - straight forward.
each row also has a check box with an onclick event and ultimately I would like when the checkbox is checked the row to be highlighted red and remain that colour. The problem is that the mouseover and mouseout events still fire. Is there way to disable these when the box is checked? Code:
I would like to make the onMouseOver event for an IMG swap 2 images. I currently have a javascript function for this (I didnt write it) which just inputs which image you want to swap and what with. I want to swap 2 images and not just one.
There is the code for the IMG tag, now the part where it does the onMouseOver it changes out the image of my choice. It calls the MM_swapImage. I want to call that function twice with diffrent parameters. I tried adding another onMouseOver line after the first one, but didnt work. Is there a way to do this in HTML? Hope that made sense.
My application reads an array of URLs in Javascript and displays them in a table. I need to create mouseover events for each of the links (just an alert message for now.) I have tried this a few ways, but for each one the mouseover event fires for each link before anything else is loaded on the page, and when the page is loaded, no link is displayed. Here are the two ways I've tried:
I have a small problem with a page I'm working on. I have an anchor tag inside a table that has a mouseover event that updates a contextual help box. I need to add a similar mouseover event to the anchor tag that does the same thing, but updates the help box with different text. The problem I have is that when the mouse is over the table, no matter if I move the mouse over the anchor, the help text only displays the message that is passed from the table's mouseover function call. I think the solution *may* be something to do with event bubbling, but I'm not exactly sure how to implement it. The code I'm dealing with is below:
On mouse over i want the back ground to be bgcolor='#993333'
On mouse out i want the back ground to be bgcolor='#FFFFFF'
Also on mouse over i want to display information about the row content inside a div tag <div id="content"></div>. This information can be plain text or links. Information is already created.
How can i accomplish this? Can i accomplish background through css?
If a div is positioned block or relative, events fire over the entire area of the div. If the div is positioned absolute they don't--they only fire over the div's text or image child elements, if any. This isn't true in FF or Opera, nor was it true in IE 5. If there is any logic in this behavior.
I want to temporaraly disable events from my page. However, I cant seem to get it to work. It will show my disables message, but then it goes ahead and does the action I was trying to do (like clicking on a link).
Here is the code, any ideas? ----- function disableEvents() { document.onclick = showDisabledMessage; } function enableEvents() { document.onclick = null; } function showDisabledMessage() { alert("Please wait for the current action to complete."); return false; }
Do you know of any best practice here?Expanding on the question, if an end user is viewing content with touch-based device, such as an iX or Android X, then hover type events (such as hover/hoverIntent, mouseover, mouseout, mouseenter, mouseleave, and perhaps other events that I haven't listed) don't make sense.Forthwith, what's the best usability practice in lieu of these events?
My paste catch trigger for autocomplete works fine for Ctrl-V. If using right click/paste, however, it will not trigger autocomplete. The paste event does fire with both keyboard and mouse, but for some reason it's not triggering the autocomplete, but again - Only with the mouse paste.
the problem is that when i move mouse into the "offer" div within the div i put my mouse from the div with "Add" over "Search" the onmouseout event is triggerd and the wtf() function is fired. and i want to fire wtf() only when i pull my mouse out of the whole "offer" (container) div.
This below would be my ideal code.... if it worked.
<html><head><script>
function mouseDownClass(o){
this.o = o;
this.handleMouseUp = function() { alert(this);
} //treating this section as the constructor (which sets up the mouseup listener as the method of an instantiation, ideally) document.body.addEventListener("mouseup",this.handleMouseUp,false);
alert() is showing 'this' to as: [object HTMLBodyElement] whereas i'm looking for it to show [object Object], (On Firefox at least), referring to the object instantiated when the mouse goes down on the button. I'd appreciate anyone who can help me here?
where they enlarge a thumbnail on mouse over events? I have seen a lot out there, but all seem to want to replace the image with a new larger image of the same kind. What I would prefere for it to do is enlarge or zoom the thumbnail image, so that 2 images are not needed for every image.
I did find somthing which does exactly what I need, but the enlarged image keeps flashing on and off for some reason. This is the code
<script type='text/javascript'> function get(eid) { var d = document;
[Code].....
I would imagine it has somthing to do with the pop image function, but not to sure.
I'm trying to figure out a way to make only one element on a page receive key and mouse events. I have a grid in a <div>-container with "overflow:auto" which makes the grid scrollable. If course I can set event handlers to the "document" to catch key strokes and mouse clicks and execute navigation functions which make the grid scroll (e.g. pressing down arrow) etc. This of course effects the whole page and not just the div.
The problem is: as far as I know only window and form elements can receive events such as focus(), blur(), keypress() etc. and I have to make sure only this one element is affected.
Is there thus a way to make these events affect only the <div> container?
The best way to do this would be with an event listener as this would make development much easier.
I'm working on a sliding drawer script which uses Prototype/Scriptaculous.
The script is simple, when I move my mouse over a certain region, the drawer slides out - when my mouse leaves that drawer, it slides back in. For some reason the event seems to occur while my mouse is over. Code:
