Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives
focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in
the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
When the user hits the enter key I have some JS to click the button, which then says "Searching. Please Wait" and becomes disabled.
The cursor stays flashing in the textbox. I would like to take the focus away from the form elements. How can I do this?
I'm currently making a web application which needs to be fully compatible with iPad. The functions I've implemented so far work perfectly on Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. However, the iPad itself responds a bit different. After a certain action, I want to put focus on a textfield with the help of Javascript. Again, this works perfectly with the normal browser, the iPad browser however seems to be blocking the focus. The reason I'm not posting any code is because it's basically irrelevant. All I do is:

The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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();

In javascript normally when you call .focus() on a textbox id, it places the cursor inside the textbox.
Trying the same on ipad does not place the cursor in the text field and the keypad does not pop up.
How to place cursor and bring up the keypad on ipad using javascript?

i have a form with two buttons to submit it. One button (must be left) goes to a detail-page and the second button (must be right) goes to a basket-page. Also there is a input-field.
My problem: onLoad i give focus to the input-field. But when user submits the form with return, the first button ("show details") is executed, and you see the detail-page.
But i want to give focus to the ("into basket") button, but it comes after
the detail-button in source.
I cant change the buttons because it's not allowed by the designer :-(
Also on load of that page, the border of the first submit button is more
thick (i think 2 px) than the second (maybe 1px). How can i submit to basket, with the return-key and give them the same look?
On this page http://bit.ly/gAajO3 I have a comment form and would like the input and textarea contents to turn to blank when a user clicks on them, however this is not working for me. Would like to know what is going wrong if someone can spot it.Also on submit I want the input and textarea to be cleared if their value is 'Please type here'. This is working on the name input and textarea, however it seems the email field is not being cleared,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application built in PHP which takes a code and redirects a user to the appropriate website.
This works fine when the user enters code and selects the submit button. However if the user enters the code and just selects enter on the keyboard the page refreshes, does not redirect to any URL and deletes the original entry.
Is there anyway to use unobtrusive JS to enforce the focus on the submit button as soon as the page loads?
I have created a form with malsup's Form Plugin wherein it submits on change of the inputs. However, after each submission, the form loses focus, which forces the user to click on the next input element after each input change, which is a bit annoying. Is there a way I could set the form to automatically focus on the next input element after the submission depending on which input element the form was submitted from? [code]...
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy script is designed to show a simple question and the user submits the answer using onchange via the tab key. If the answer is correct the next question appears and so on. But if it's wrong there's an alert and the user stays at that question and has another go to enter a correct answer to move on. It works well as long as user gets answer right. If they enter a wrong answer I'd like that answer box to clear and be focussed (ie cursor in place). Problem is, using the tab key has already sent the cursor off to highlight the address bar! I can get it to work if each answer box has a submit button and I use onclick but I really want to change the submit function to a keystroke, pref TAB.
Code:
<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=javascript type=text/javascript>
function thetests(){
document.theform.prob1.focus();

Is there a way to set the focus on a form field without using focus()? I use ajax to build the form and if I try to set the focus using focus() an error is generate because of the form hasn't been built by ajax. So, it would be nice if I could set the focus() as I built the form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm attaching an onfocus event handler to an anchor tag like this:
if(window.attachEvent) anchor_node.attachEvent('onfocus', gotFocus);
if(window.addEventListener) anchor_node.addEventListener('focus',
gotFocus, false);
function gotFocus() {
alert('i got focus');
}
Is there any way to tell the difference between when this anchor is
focused by a user (perhaps by tabbing to it) as opposed to when I
programatically do it via anchor_node.focus()?
When a website is loaded, is there anyway of using Javascript to get the address bar focus and delete the contents?
I'm not sure if there would be restrictions on doing this because of security reasons
It seems like it should be simple, but I don't see what I'm missing. Right now, the search button displays directly under my input field. I've gone through the CSS, but can't figure out where my code is forcing the button onto its own line. What am I missing? How can I bring it up to the same line?
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.centerpie.com/" >

When I validate a form on submission I use the javascript focus function to
scroll the page to the location of the form error e.g.
document.[Form Name].[Field Name].focus();
If you happened to have the page scrolled above where the error field is
then the page will scroll so that the error field is at the very top of the
window. If you happened to have the page scrolled below where the error
field is then the page will scroll so that the error field is at the very
bottom of the window. Neither of these is very desirable. Any way to get the
error field to the middle of the window?
e.g. in javascript after the focus statement, can one test the location of
the error field and then either add half a windows worth of pixels to it if
it is at the top of the screen or subtract half a windows worth of pixels to
it if it is at the bottom of the screen?
document.TESearch.txtDesc.focus();
Would set the focus to the txtDesc iten of the TESearch Form..OK
Is there a way of asking the document what "item" has get the focus
I need to check were the cursor has been moved to "the new focus"
before an onblur event can deside what action to take.
ie
itemfocus = document.focus?
if itemfocus = txtbox1 then do something else do something else
If in the textarea (textarea3), the value is not "abc", and the user
uses "Tab" to go to the next textarea (textarea4), it will alert an
error message...and the focus will return to the textarea (textarea3)
again...
It works in Internet Explorer, however in firefox it does not work?
Anyway have any ideas why & how? Code:
If I use the following construct in the frame "main" for a link to an
extern site:
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern">
the Browser is creating the window "extern", loading the page
www.any.xy an setting the focus to "extern". But when I go return to
"main" without closing "extern", a click to an other link (e.g.
www.2nd_any.xy) on "main" does not setting the focus to "extern".
For setting the focus to "extern" in the second case, I have used the
following construct:
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern"
onClick="setTimeout('extern=window.open('','extern');fr emd.focus();',500);">
an example</A>
This construct has worked very well for a few years, but since about
one year, the sesult was the same as using
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern">
In this year, I have changed:
win 95 --> win 2000
modem 56k --> DSL
Netscape 4.5 --> Netscape 7.1
Can anybody tell me a possibility setting the focus to "extern" in the
second case? Is the changing of my configuration the reason, that the
construct has failed?
Neglecting the annoyance factor for a moment, is it possible to keep one browser window at the screen forefront (in front of all other browser windows) but still be able to interact with a window directly beneath it? How would this be pulled off in JS?
