View 2 RepliesI want to handle focus and blur events on any DIV element but don't know how? I tried this one:
$('.myDIV').bind('focus',function(event){
// something
});
But it doesn't work!
I'm trying to build a data navigation utility that will allow a central "map" page to control a number of tab pages that are loading individual pages from a large set of HTML. All are local file://localhost/, with localhost popups enabled. (for dev/testing all popups are enabled since firebug 1.3.3 has problems loading localhost .js code) preference to "raise and lower windows" has been enabled I am using firefox 3.0.8 on FreeBSD 6.4
Anyway, I can't get window.focus() and blur() to work between cooperating tab/windows who know each other's names.
Here following are two cooperating mirror tab pages that i'm trying to get working. Have tried a number of combinations of the focus() and blur() calls. Have tried with/without messaging. Messaging works fine.
I have noticed that the calling tab seems to unload/reload as a result of the click event. This still allows the message to get through OK, but I guess the reload could be taking the focus again.
An annoying alert() dialog could of course get focus to the message receiver, but it requires another click to get it out of the way.
The concept of these focus() and blur() calls is so simple, and I've searched all over the web for examples, but nothing seems applicable.
Have also seen that this may be a bug in Firefox.
======== code for "mirror" pages "focus1" and "focus2" follows:
<html>
<head>
<title>test window focus - 1</title>
<script language="javascript">

I'm triing to write script that close popup window, when user click outside the popup. Script below is working fine in firefox (v1.0.3), but not in IE.
I tried also to print hello but still the same problem firefox OK IE not. I think the problem is in event capture, but I can't fix it.
My script:
fotowin = window.open("", "foto", "width =100,height
=100,location=no,menubar=no,directories=no,toolbar =no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,status=no");
fotowin.onblur = closeWin;
if (fotowin.captureEvents) {
fotowin.captureEvents(Event.BLUR);
}
function closeWin() {
fotowin.close();
//fotowin.document.write("hello");
}
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();

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am having trouble understanding what the difference is
between BLUR and FOCUS. I need to include these functions in my form
and i am unsure what these features do and how i incorporate these
into my form.
I'm having problems with applying focus() to an element inside a blur() event handler. I get different results in different browsers. Specifically, IE and Opera seem to work fine, Firefox doesn't seem to do anything, and Chrome and Safari only do half of the job. Basically, I have an <input> with a blur() event handler attached to it. The event handler contains the code to apply focus to that same input, effectively disallowing the user to remove focus from the input.

I'm working with ClueTip and have run into some oddities.In particular, I want to show ClueTip when a textbox receives focus.The source shows me that I can use activation:'focus' for this and that will result in the cluetip showing on focus and disappearing on blur. Showing the cluetip is working fine, blurring is not.[code]

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a control which when the mouse button gets
pressed on one div an absolute positioned div pops up in
place of the cursor. From there the cursor should interact with
the dialog before the mouse button is released. In other words
one element will catch onmousedown, display the popup, and
the popup element will catch onmouseup. This works fine in
IE as the popup automatically accepts following events,
but my problem is in Firefox.
In Firefox everything behind the popup
still receive events even though they can't be seen
(hidden by the popup). I have to release the mouse button and then
click on the popup again before it accepts the onmouseup event.
I also used a different cursor on the popup to see if Firefox
recognized it was there at all. Still the cursor doesn't change
until I release themouse button and move the cursor across
the popup element.
I've tried focus/blur, timeout delays, hiding the first element
(the one which receives onmousedown) but nothing works.
The only thing that works is hiding the entire body and then
using setTimeout to show the entire body again 1ms later.
Obviously though that is very ugly.
I only want to set the code to alert one when I am out of 'focus' but the alert keeps piling up if I click on the input field and out of 'focus' more than one?

I'm currently facing a weird issue with the onchange event. I have a web application where each blur event makes a call the webserver to store the value of the textfield. I only want to trigger that ajax call when something has changed, so i track the onchange event on each textfield to set a flag if something has changed.
The onchange event always fires to first time when i click outside of a textfield even if i didn't change anything in the field.
I narrowed it down to the following: A prefilled textfield always fires the onchange-event the first time you leave the textfield. An initially empty textfield does not fire the onchange event.
Sample code (IE 8 on Windows 7 computer):
script:
HTML:
Im trying to fire an ajax event when a user leaves a text field. But neither the focus/blur is firing when the text field contains data.
Am I using the correct events?
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 have these "editable" divs in my document. When you click them, a text box comes up and you type something and push enter. It changes what's in the div.There is also a blur event associated with the text box. When the user tabs or clicks away, it fires the blur event. Here lies the problem.I have other elements on the page that are clickable. I don't want those clickable things to fire their events if the user is clicking away from the text box, ie. the blur event. This isn't a problem is the user pushes tab, for instance.

The problem is that now I have a div.Field with TinyMce so an iframe inside it.Something like:
<div class="Field">
<iframe>
<html>
[code]....
I need to blur the div when the mouse "focus" the iframe body.And of course blur out when it doesn't.How can I add thisfunctionalityto my code?I tried a few changes but none of them worked.
I am doing a simple function to validate text fields(you can see the code below). Now, the alert box appears only once when I refresh the page, not when I click inside or outside the username box. #username is the id of a input text field. On a sidenote, how can I pass multiple parameters to the function(not a fixed number of params)? or should I just pass an array?

i want to store current textbox value in session on onblur event of textbox.
how can i do this. i am using javascript ans asp.net 1.1. And
How can i call server side function on onblur event of textbox.
A test script like this:
<A HREF="javascript:window.blur()">Blur Window</A>
put the window in the background in IE, when pushed, but it does nothing in other browsers like Chrome, Safari, Opera, Mozilla under Windows.
My real page is loaded from an external program (not the browser), if I dont have anything to tell the user, then I want the page to be "minimized" (or closed).
I am also able to close it in IE, but most people seem to believe that it shouldn't be possiple to close a close a window through Java, when it is not opened by Java.
Do I have other "minimize"/"close" options or how do I make blur work?
I am sure that this is a BASIC question for javascript gurus but I'm struggling to resolve.The form starts with the cursor focus in the FROM ACCT NUMBER FIELD. When I tab to the next field without entering any value in this text field I want to send an alert to the user that the field is required and put the cursor back on that field. I attempted to do that using:
$(function() {
$("#ARTransferForm\:fromAccountNumber").blur(function() {
var fromAcctNumLen = $("#ARTransferForm\:fromAccountNumber").val().length;

I have a textarea and a DIV as code below. The way it supposes to work is when I focus on the textarea by clicking it, the DIV will show. Otherwise, it will be hidden. Then when I click the DIV, there will be an alert(). However, right now if I click on the DIV, it will trigger the blur() event first which calls to hide() the DIV. After that, the click event is not called at all. I need to be able to click on the DIV and the DIV is not hide() at all and show alert().

I'm looking for a library of practical JavaScript examples.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with Safari. After i close a popup it does not focus on the parent window. I have been looking around and i think its this sort of thing i need 'javascript:window.opener.focus()" target="_self"' but tbh i'm not in anyway a javascript whizz, so im a little confused.
Here is my current code to close the child window
document.write("<input name='close' class='button popup' type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()' id='close'>"
So i need to somehow, add in the .opener thing to that.
