I'm implementing a custom AJAX based search suggestion box for my wordpress-based website, the only hurdle I can't seem to get over is the fact that when you enter something in the search box, the browser will render a list of all the recent searches beginning with the typed letter. Is there a way in JavaScript to prevent this?
View 2 RepliesWhen you press the down key while in an input field the default
behavior for some event creates a dropdown of the previously input
text. What event creates that behavior and how do I stop it ?
For example, to prevent ANY type of default behavior when clicking ANY
key, I thought this would work, but the dropdown still occurs. What am
I doing wrong ?
In html file:<body >
Search Text: <input type='text' id='searchtext' />
in javascript file:
function blank(){
return false;
}
function registersearch(){
document.getElementById("searchtext").
document.getElementById("searchtext").
document.getElementById("searchtext").
document.getElementById("searchtext").
}
I want to write a select control and use a Javascript function to
handle all click events on the control. Under certain circumstances I
also wish to prevent the dropdown's list from being rendered.
Here is a sample showing what I am _unsuccessfully_ trying to do.
I have a screen that is being displayed and has drop-boxes but when clicked, but when I click from a certain link I wish to freeze the dropbox and keep it from changing. Ive tried read-only but that doesnt work. Disabled Yes will not allow the value to be read in.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSomebody enters the search term, presses search, and the results are displayed, what is more I record the search term in the DB - plus the number of results returned - reason I want to know what people are searching for and how often - to see if I can plug some holes in product inventory. Anway fairly standard.
Now I also have an AJAX search box (well same box actually) as they type matching products are displayed in a DHTML drop down (like google suggest) - this all works, however I am stuck trying to work out how I could record in the DB what they are searching for in the AJAX search etc as there is no hard action - such as pressing "search", each keystroke is a new search, and I guess I don't really want to be recording like (or do I?):
h 1000 (product matches)
ha 300
har 100
harr 20
harry 10
harry p 6
.......
etc
any ideas as to a possible work around.

I am using an RSS scroller to show recent news feeds.[URL] I am also using Ajax to change the content from page to page, but instead of using ajax to load the external page for the 'news page' (the image above is the home page) I've had to use a show/hide DIV tool as it refused to load the javascript from the external page. All is working fine apart from text overlay. This is the news page: [URL] This problem only happens for a few seconds, then it scrolls and the news looks fine.

I want to use a drop down menu and found a horizontal example from John Resig. But I want to turn it into a vertical menu. How can I do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a project where I need a selection of one dropdown menu may affect the select of multiple other dropdown menus on the same page.First, a table is generated, and within each row, it contains a dropdown menu. Assume: Rows A, B, C, etc..., and Dropdown selection: 1, 2, & 3If dropdown in Row A selects 2, then I want the selection of dropdowns in rows B & C to dynamically change to 2.And if in Row C user selects 3, then the selection in dropdowns in rows A & B should dynamically change to 3.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just needed a simple dropdown. So what better solution than jquery right? Well, when I finished it, I tested it out and it works until you try to click a link in the dropdown. It then disappears. Not sure if theres something overlaying throwing it off but I didn't see anything in firebug.

I have code for autosuggestion while typing in a text box written in Javascript and PHP. When I start typing a number I get a list of matching numbers and I'm able to select one of them with the mouse click. Now I have an other text box which should display a list of numbers based on the selection from the first textbox.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Jquery I want to populate a 2nd dropdown from the choice of the first dropdown.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe first dropdown has some options as :
abc(a)
bcd(a)

On selecting abc(a) in first dropdown the 'a' must get selected in second dropdown,on selecting cde(b) second dropdown must have 'b' and so on,also the second dropdown value should be disabled(grayed out) for user.Need the code in javascript.
I have 4 strands of hair left... I have been fighting with this one for almost a week now. I'm trying to pass the value of this dropdown to a function and enable another dropdown(and in the future create the populated dropdown based on this choice). If the original 'Select...' option is chosen it will then hide that second dropdown. In the following code the function actually resides in a js file which has been imported and is working properly. I have tried this as text and as value and both seem to be passing a null value regardless of the option selected.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two drop-down prompt controls with month names. One has just one value (say "July") and the other has all the months of the year ("January".."December"). The first prompt control is hidden on the page. How do I set the default selection of the second prompt control to the value present in the first prompt control? So, when the page is run, the second prompt control should automatically show "July".
I was reading up on the selectedIndex property (?), but I know that it won't work because I want Index 0 to be selected in the first control and Index 6 in the second, and I expect it to change every month (next month it will be index 7 that should be automatically selected).
Ive searched this forum for a simple solution to this. I want have a drop down of countries. Only if USA is selected, it shows states, otherwise it is hidden. I have a function which is 'trying' to write the state dropdown to an empty span.
Code HTML4Strict:
<script>
function test(){
document.usstate.write("<select name='state'><option value='' selected>--</option><option value='New Jersey'>New Jersey</option><option value='New York'>New York</option><option value='California'>California</option></select>");
[Code]....
I have two dropdown lists with the second one being dependent on the selection in the first.
Options in list 1: 1,3 or 4
List two should be enabled when 3 or 4 is selected in list 1.
So far so good, managed to get it to work with only one set of lists, but I actually have 18 of those sets in this form:
<select name="fw[$i]" id="fw[$i]">
<option value="1">FWH</option>
<option value="3">links</option>
<option value="4">rechts</option>
[Code]....
I'm not that adept in javascript programming, more like a trial and error guy, how has hit the wall with this problem.
What I want is user to select option from a dropdown menu then the dropdown below it to be populated.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a div, i set the innerHTML property to a formatted paragraph of
text. however, at times the text exceeds the width (and height) of the
div. how do i create a fixed width div and make it use a scrollbar if
the contents exceed the height and width specified. i'm using microsoft
visual studio, and i have the width explicitly set in the properties
but still on setting the innerHTML it resizes automatically.
I found this handy little script on the net that means the user can only press backspace or numbers in form input.
<script type="text/javascript">
function numbersonly(e){
var unicode=e.charCode? e.charCode : e.keyCode
if (unicode!=8){ //if the key isn't the backspace key (which we should
allow)
if (unicode<48||unicode>57) //if not a number
return false //disable key press
}}
</script>
<form>
<input type="text" size=18 onkeypress="return numbersonly(event)">
</form>
It works, but it's not foolproof.
2 issues with this code.
1) Can I stop a user from accessing my website if he/she is not using
javascript?
2) Can I prevent a user from breaking the code and entering other
stuff by placing the cursor in the box and pressing ctrl+v (paste)
I have an onclick handler which executes and jquery ajax load function but I need to validate a form first before executing the load function. I don't know how to prevent the load from occurring until the validate is complete. I am validating using the jquery validate plugin.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo, I have a set of divs in a sentece, and within one div is a link. When the link is clicked, I have all the other divs fade out, and the link is supposed to move to the left, then up. I can accomplish this easily, however, I've noticed that there's a pause between when all the divs fade out, and then the moving of the link. During that pause, it jumps to the leftmost edge of the div that it is contained in.Is there a way to prevent the div from jumping? The following is the code that I have. (I've supplied the html and javascript)I tried using callbacks to prevent the div from jumping, but that didn't really work...

I'm a j-script (and html) newbie with what I thought was a simple
requirement:
1) From a link in a primary window open a secondary window
2) Want to specify size of secondary window
3) Want primary window NOT to reload when secondary opens
Don't want to prejudge the approach; I'm guessing Javascript can help,
and in fact have accomplished 1) and 2) above with the following,
embedded in the body of the primary window html:
<a href="javascript:location='primary_window.html'
window.open('secondary_window.html', 'secondary_window_label',
'height=345,width=550')">link_text</a>
But when the secondary window opens, the primary window reloads. I've
seen earlier posts addressing this problem (or similar ones), but I
haven't been able to make any of the suggestions work.
What is the command to prevent "right clicking".
View 12 Replies View RelatedLet me give a brief first. When someone logs in my application with
correct username and password, I set a session attribute, say "user"
with his username.
When he logs out, I invalidate the session and remove the attribute
"user". In each of the protected pages, I check for the session
attribute "user". If it exists, I proceed, else I rdirect to login
page. Btw, I am also using frames when the user logs in.
Everything is working as I want it to. Except one thing! After the user
logs out and then goes back using "back" button of the browser, the
page displayed says that he has been logged out and needs to login
again. But if he refreshes the page (after going "Back"), the page
reloads with correct information, as if he is already logged in.
What do I do to prevent this?
I am fairly new to JSP. So, maybe I am missing out on something....
