Window Focus() Command Won't Work On America Online
Jul 20, 2005
Opening a new window using the window.open( ) command works great
for opening new windows and having them on top and having the focus.
The window.focus command brings any existing windows to the front
(top) in Netscape, IE and Opera. However, this command does nothing
when you access the web page through AOL, even though they say this is
IE. Once a window is behind (blurred), I have been unable to bring it
back to the front without 1. closing it, and 2. re-opening it, which
stinks.
I cant get my cookie to work. I believe its not my javascript that is wrong. Can anyone take a look to see what i did wrong in my cookie? I have to pages dropdown1.html and dropdown2.html. Both pages have the same exact dropdown list. There is also a javascript file called script.js which makes it so you get an error if you select the same option on the second drop down list as the first. Also in the script.js i have a cookie that should run so dropdown2.html should now what was selected in dropdown1.html Can anyone see if i made a mistake in either my javascript code in my cookie? Right now I am not getting the error message if you select the same option as the first. Ill show all my code incase you need it for reference
dropdown1.html

Script.js (this is the part where I cant figure out why the error message does not appear on the second dropdown menu if user selects the same option as the first)
i created a javascript for opening a page on a new window and added it on an html file. i then used the said html file as the source of my iframe on a joomla page. but the javascript isnt working. the said iframe is called Scroll News on this page: [URL]..
have a function which finds the highest value of an array and im trying to get it to work on 2 arrays.however I dont really know how to do this so the function works fine on the first array but when i try to make it work on the second one it returns the same value as the first array, even though the second array shouldnt contain that value. I have put the code below, the funtion I am working on is findHighestValueIndex and the arrays I need it to work on are highestScoreIndex and highestWeightedScoreIndex.with the thank user button
Im writing a piece of javascript that dynamically adds a link to a page, this is the code i'm using
var newP; newP = document.createElement("a"); newP.innerHTML = "Click here";[code].........
However, it wont work?!?! the link appears in the right place on the page when i remove the line newP.setAttribute("href","http:[url]......);and if i view the source the link is <a>Click here</a> (without any href) so there's got to be something wrong with that line but i don't know what it is.I'm using firefox.
I can get both to work separately. If Iput the slideshow below the menu bar in the body it does not play if I put the slideshow first the menu bar does not appear.
I'm trying to detect the browser in that little box but It's not working. in between the <div> tags I have this code
<script type="javascript"> var browser=navigator.appName var browser_version=navigator.appVersion var version=parseFloat(browser_version) document.write("Detecting Browser..." + browser) </script>I don't even think I'm going to user the browser version so don't worry about that but I can't get this to work. I think I have it right, I was looking at the tutorial on w3schools. Can anyone see a problem? Am I leaving something out?
Edit: oh, very sorry. It seems my tiny little mistake is that script type should be "text/javascript". But now that that is figured out It shows that I'm using Netscape when I'm actually using Firefox 0.o
I am having some trouble with one of my buttons, the one button works fine but my second one doesnt work at all. The second button should open the same page as the first and maximize it.
I'm currently putting javascript function onto a page to swap the content between 2 divs onclick- when one is visible one is hidden and vice versa (they are in the same place to create a tabbed browsing effect).
the script:
<script type="text/javascript"> * function detailStyle() {
Basically, as you can see,*I've created a gallery page with multiple slideshows using iframes & javascript; each of the galleries show/hide when you click on their corresponding link. The first slideshow "Family" appears when the page loads, but the others are hidden with a div style. *Then, when you click on each gallery's link, that gallery appears, but all the other galleries hide.It works great in most browsers, except Internet Explorer. For some reason, IE 9 beta only shows part of the slideshows; the whole iframe is there, but only a small portion of the photos appear (although the slideshow itself continues to run fine). IE 8 doesn't load the galleries at all, except for the first one ("Family"); the div section appears for them, but the slideshows do not play.
I realized that the problem is the div style (style="display:none; ). The first gallery, "Family", shows fine because it's not hidden to begin with.*When I remove that div style from all the slideshows, then they appear & play fully (instead of partially or not at all) in Internet Explorer. However, the purpose of hiding them is defeated, as they all show up at once when the page loads. I want to keep them all hidden until you click on their respective link to show them.Coding:
I've been using the form plugin to process some data in a form and was working perfectly until I added a new input (type="file") to upload images, for some reason now the plugin wont go past the beforeSubmit: section, the weird thing is that if I change the field type to text it works perfectly.Is it something I'm doing wrong? Or do I have to do something else with file type fields?
I'm having problems getting this bit of code to work. It works when the page is on my local drive, but when I publish it online it doesn't. The code is exactly the same when local or online. The online WIP (that doesn't work) is here:The .load code is meant to load the caption text for the video and also some social media buttons. Like I said, this works just as I want when I open the html page from my local drive.Here is the code
I am trying to create a new window from which the original page can close that new window. For some reason the following code will not work. Passing the window.open command to a variable called myWindow does not work with the mouse event, but it seems to work fine with a javascript: URL command. I would prefer to do it with the mouse event. Code:
I have an asp.net app running on an Intranet. From one of my aspx pages I would like to run a javascript that will run the following command OUTSIDE of the IIS/asp.net environment on the CLIENT machine (remember, a controlled Intranet!). Is this possible? This windows program needs to be opened and data entered periodically while using the asp.net app as well.
The exe runs in a dos command window, tied to a Citrix ica file.
I'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.
$("#username").bind('blur',function(){ val = $(this).val(); if(val == ""){ alert("Username is a required field, please fill it in!"); $("#username-div").css("background-color", "#eeccdd"); $("#username-error").html("Please fill this"); $(this).focus(); } });
this code doesnt seem to focus. i have also tried Javascript and even that isnt working? Basically i would like that input box with id username to be focused if user leaves it empty and moves to next form field?
I have an Iframe in my webpage wher I have the focus. I now want to give the focus back to the parent document, so i've used top.focus() in my code. Works fine in almost every browser but not inIE7.
This is frustrating! I'm using the stock jQuery UI Datepicker; it will open on click, but not on focus. What's strange is, if I tab through the entire page and come around to the target field again, it
<em>does</em> open! Here's my HTML: Code HTML4Strict: <ul> <li class="black bold"> <label for="datepickX" class="labelDatefield">Select activation date for [ProductX]:</label> [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?
this is for a browser window that contains a chat app that is an applet... when browser window is not in focus I would like users to somehow get notified when a message arrives, more or less like regular IM apps do.. I did with window.focus(), but I don't really want window to come into focus, I just want it to 'blink' and then stay highlighted.. I tried window.setActive() method (not sure what that method does but wanted to try it) but I get obj-non-supported error in IE6 with that method ..
if anyone is still curious about this recently posted issue creating error 'member not found'
function imageWindow(whichImage) { imageWindow = window.open(whichImage, 'myWindow','width=450,height=200') imageWindow.focus() }
I was experiencing the same problem and determined that the error was experienced when loading a pdf file. in the above case the user appears to be loading an image. The problem does not occur when simply loading html files.
