Page Level Onmousedown - Add A Global Event Handler For Mousedown That Will Register Whenever The User Clicks Anywhere On The Page?
Apr 22, 2010
I want to add a global event handler for mousedown that will register whenever the user clicks anywhere on the page but I'm having trouble.This is what I'm trying to do:
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body");
alert(body);
body.addEventListener(mouseDown, myHandler);[code]....
But the event handler is never called. I can't even seem to get access to the body. Is the body tag the wrong place to be assigning the mousedown handler? I'm trying to make this code work correctly in both IE and firefox.
I want the page to completely ignore all mouse clicks. I can create the onmouseclick event and return false, but that only disables certain types of things. I can still, for example, click in a text box and then type something or change the selection in a dropdown list. I tried returning false in the onmousedown event, but that didn't do the trick. I'd rather not have to disabled all the controls on the page. Any ideas?
function toSubmitted() { document.myForm.action = some URL that has to do with a Filemaker Pro backend. document.myForm.submit(); window.location = "www.google.com"; }
Supposed to submit myForm, which sends necessary data to the FileMaker backend, and then I am wanting to redirect to a new page immediately after that.
The "window.location = "www.google.com";" line does not seem to function in its present location.

When I open page2.html, and click on the brnClick link, it changes the content of divclick. If I open page1.html, and then navigate to page2.html, click on the link does not work.
I've spent the last few hours trying to make the jump from prototype to jquery. I'm trying to use jQuery's crossbrowser event handling but I can't seem to register the event. I've tried lots of combinations and permutations that I've seen on the web but nothing seems to be working so I must be missing something.
$(document).ready(function() { $(document).mousedown(makeDomPath); }); function makeDomPath(e)

and none of them fired. The goal here is to have a single event handler that catches all the mousedown events in the page.
I am trying to get a way by which I'll know exactly when user goes out of my site by clicking on close button in browser, So that w/e user click close button in browser, I can send a signal to server.
This seems to be achievable with body unload events, but it is little too much, as even if user navigate within my site, this event will be generated, this can be avoided by handling onclick of each link, so that I'll know exactly which link is clicked, but honestly this looks over doing to me, any other smart short cut for finding out when user click on X in browser?
When a user in somewhere of a site, he/she may want to login to access some user restrict pages. He/she clicks a login link on the menu and sign in on the login page. How to use JQuery to let the user back to the page where he/she clicks the login link?
i have a dropdownlist with some values,ex: One, Two and Three; One being the default value selected on load of dropdown list.When I select Two or Three, there is onselectedchange event fired and I can write custom code in handler. But I also want to do some custom handling when page is loaded and user justs clicks on default value of "One". I want to take an action when user clicks on default value, "One" of dropdwn.
our requirement is client wants to know howmany users leaving the main page without entering data in the application page.at that time we need to show the css popup overlay.in the following scenarios overlay should pop up.1)when user leaves the page.(e.g. type other address in the address bar).bascially user shy away from the browser.2)clicks browser close button.we will show one css popup overlay(not browser popup) and in the back ground main application will be greyed out.this overlay consists of some text fields and some buttons will be there and parallely in the back ground we will execute AJAX call.can we accomplish this requirement??is yes how?will it work in all browsers?my concern is how to prevent the browser from closing when css overlay comes up?

I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
i needed a text input so the user that will register a product, will make sure to enter the cents, and not just the raw money, making it to be stored incorrectly on my database.for example, if i type "1" the output inside the text field will be automatically "0.01", so the user HAS to type the cents.
I have a big <table> and I have added an onmousedown handler. When I get back the event in IE and Firefox, the individual <td> element appears in window.event.srcElement (IE) and in event.target (Firefox). However in Safari the target is just the <table>, not the <td>.
I need to get back the <td> associated with the event, and I would not like to put an onmousedown handler on each table cell because there are a lot of them. Does anybody know how I can get the event and figure out which table cell was clicked?
I have a page in which I already have a 3 level combox that works fine. I want to add to that page another combobox of 2 levelWhen I tried to do it I find out that they control of each other. I tried changing the variables names. (changing "x" into "w" in the second combobox)here is the end of the first form:
var temp1=document.isc.stage3 function redirect1(y){ for (m=temp1.options.length-1;m>0;m--)
I am building a webpage and have made a menu which looks like tabs in a filing cabinet, kind of like you see if you go to "Display Properties" in Windows, for example.What I need is a script to make the tab buttons open up a window in an iframe, changing the image when clicked. But the image must not change back to it's original state when the button is released.I'm no java pro. Still in my playpen, really. You may have to hold my hand.
I have a 2 level combo box that are dependent on each other and what I want to happen when the "submit" button is selected is for an html text answer to be displayed on the same page below the combo boxes based off of what was selected in the second combo box. I've tried using hide/show functions with JavaScript but couldn't figure out how to link the 2 scripts together.
When the user clicks on a link within that frame, the frame posts back (2. site is being displayed)....from this time on the above mentioned call does not work anymore. The code is located outside, so it should not touch anything. The strange thing is, that it works for the first site, but not for sub sites?The structure looks like the following:
While I have hundreds of draggables, the performance is very dramatical. So I want to hear from you if its possible to write code around it. Have you devs a solution to create a draggable on the mousedown event? The problem I face now, is: that I can create on the mousedown a draggable, but it wont following my mouse. If I reclick it, then it follows my mouse. Currently I have the following not working code:
I have an webbpage, and in the middle of it there is an iframe to a php site. So i have used this code, so after some seconds the iframe will send the guest to another page. <meta http-equiv="refresh" traget="_top" content="5 url=http://mypage.com"/> But the thing is that i want the WHOLE page to reload, and go to that page after 5 seconds (we can say). With that code, only the iframe are going to another page. Is it possible to make the whole page send the user after some seconds, to another page and not only the iframe?
There is many examples of PageLoader's etc. in the web, but I can't find a script like facebook (and many other sites) uses. When a link is cliked -> user stays at current page and get's "Page loading" etc. notice until the next page is fully downloaded.In other words; When I click a link (Internet Explorer), I get first "a white page" until next page show's ..I want, that the page does not go white at all, but current page show's until the next page is fully downloaded.
