A client would like me to implement spreadsheet-style form traversal using the arrow keys on a keyboard, i.e. left arrow would submit the entry for that field and then move left by one field on the form.
The form is managed by my PHP code. Does anyone have a browser-independent method of doing this please?
All input fields in the form are single line text fields.
I just create a neat little AJAX google suggest style drop down, using a scrollable DIV which contains a table, now the user wants to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate the table.
Does anyone know how to do this or know of an example / tutorial on how to do this? Each row and cell has it's own unique ID.
Does anybody know why doesn't onkeypress catch up/down arrow keys
while it catches left/right arrows? My only supposition is that up/
down keys are used for moving between form elements, anyway does
anybody know any solution to this problem?
I have a little problem that i hope can be solved. You start to type in an <input> field and a list of results show based on what you type, I have a list of Airports in MySQL that is check for LIKE of what is typed in and the matches show that can be selected. But you can only scroll with the mouse and not the arrow keys.
Does anyone know how I may allow arrow keys as well as the mouse to select their choice?
Disable Arrow Keys I am creating an online flash gaming site, Aaron's Game Zone: [URL]Some of the games on it use the arrow keys, however IE also uses them to scroll the page. I am learning JavaScript and am trying to write some script to pervent the page scrolling up and down while playing a game.For example.Guardian Rock uses the arrow keys to slide around, at the same time the page scrolls.[URL]
Here is the script I've tried to write to pervent the scrolling:
<script type="text/javascript">
function KeyPressHappened(e){
if (!e) e=window.event;

Can someone help me get started on some browser-independent code for moving an image with the arrow keys? That is, if I press the up arrow, the image will move 10 pixels up; if I press the left arrow, the image will move 10 px left.

Im trying to learn how to scroll using arrow keys or hotkeys. Where you're able to use your arrow keys to move side to side and up and down.
Here are the 2 best examples of how it functions:

Can anyone link me to how to script that? Or even if there's a proper term I should know about to search for tutorials..

I have three buttons on a typical page (sample page: [URL].. One goes to the previous page, one to the next, and one up a level. Can I link these buttons to 3 arrow keys to simplify navigation for the user? I thought this would be a common task, but I cannot find any canned code on the web to do it. I can code simple html, but don't know javascript.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI got this problem while disabling Up/Down arrow keys in Mozilla firefox browser useing javascript Given a standard HTML select/option box, I can capture any keypress while the select has focus and stop the select�s option list from changing values in IE but not in Mozilla.
[Code]....
In IE and Mozilla I have no trouble capturing the keyCode, and in IE I can prevent pressing a letter "D" and Up/Down arrows from making the list move to Dead, but the select list will drop to �Dead� in Mozilla. I've tried attaching the event handler to keyup, keydown and keypress, but have yet to find a way in Mozila to capture the keypress and prevent the select list from changing the current selection.
I am implementing an "auto complete search box" much like the one Google uses. If you notice on Google, if you type a letter and the drop down box appears with the predicted terms, you are able to navigate in and select from those terms using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
In my implementation, the drop down box is really just a DIV. It is separate from the search box. How do I replicate the Google behavior?
I am wondering if Jquery can navigate to a specific page marker from the url? For exampleCan i test the url to see if it has the #... added and then use that number to navigate to an appropriate page marker?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for some help with something I have been developing over the last day or so. Basically, I have a form with some input boxes in it, and I am trying to use some javascript to do a calculation with these input boxes. The problem is that when I go to click on the "calculate" button nothing happens. The fields where the value should go to I have made visible instead of hidden to make sure that something is going there but nothing is appearing.
I've checked various parts of my syntax with online checkers and other javascript examples and I'm stuck as to what has gone wrong. If anyone can shed some light on the problem and possible solutions that would be awesome.

Edit: I have edited the code to remove/change the things that "Philip M" kindly pointed out were not needed and a bit of re-designing the page. I still can't get the javascript to put the answer value in the correct place on the click of the button. I'm under the impression it has something to do with the button rather than the javascript code but I might be wrong.
I am trying to setup a textbox to only accept specific keys. The problem is, some of the Function keys are reading as the same values as letters.Ex.
112 - F1 - p
113 - F2 - q
114 - F3 - r[code]....
Is there another way to allow the function keys without enabling all matching letters as well?
Is there an easy way to navigate through the fields of a form with the arrow keys in the same way as navigating cells in excel?

I am making a php/mysql epos system for my shop which will be run from a browser on my shop PC. I have large buttons which I would like to be able to 'click' by pressing something like the F-buttons at the top of the keyboard. Is it possible to override the standard button shortcuts for a web page. This is only going to be on my shop computer so accessibility is not a problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded jquery today in the hopes it would speed up my development. but its not working at all.
Ive tried including it as an external js and ive tried it directly on the page. regularjavascript works but not jquery. im using wampserver with short tags turned on.
I would post some code but my special keys do not work in this form for some reason. but i can assure u i have triple checked all the code against many different sources and its correct.
like i said regular javascript works fine but jquery code will not. any ideas on what i should check/try?
How can I access the HTML from a page in an IFRAME? I've tried this but it didn't work, when I clicked the button, 'undefined' came up in the DIV. Here's my function
PHP Code:
function loadPage ( file ) { document.getElementById('iframe').src = file; document.getElementById('td').innerHTML = document.getElementById('iframe').document.innerHTML;}
and here is the DIV and IFRAME
Code:
<div id='td' class='body'>
<input id='file' type='text' /><br />
<input id='button' type='button' value='Load' onClick="loadPage(document.getElementById('file').value)" />
</div><br />
<iframe id='iframe'></iframe>
I am trying to replicate the function that is on this page [URL] - where the links on the right open an external HTML page that activates a dialog window and the whole thing floats above the parent page. I've ripped apart the JS file but it goes beyond my understanding and has references to demo this and demo that - which isn't going to sit well with my existing code. I am trying to see if there is a simpler version of this function that doesn't require 155 lines of JS. I found the JS code to open an HTML page inside a DIV using ht e object ID method but it still acts like an iFrame and my dialog window is trapped inside, not floating above the parent page. I've even tried to use the CSS overflow: visible; but I'm sure there is more to it than that - especially since it didn't help ;) I can't use AJAX or PHP like many of the scripts I found use, so i has to be just like the page I gave as an example.

Hi I'm new to the development world and have bumped into a tough problem for myself. I'm attempting to display external RSS feeds on my site using AJAX. The 'title' and 'link' tags from the XML file appear on my page without any problem. However, unlike the 'title' and 'link' tags, some of the 'description' tags contain HTML.
This seems to be an issue when I'm trying to display the content within the description tags. As you can see, I embarrassingly tried enclosing the variable newtext2 in CDATA tags to no avail. Since I do not directly have access to this RSS file (other than asking my friend if I can edit it), is there a way for me to display the HTML content within the 'description' tags strictly via JavaScript?
Code:
function getXMLHTTPRequest() {
try {
req = new XMLHttpRequest(); /* e.g. Firefox */
