Workaround For SelectBox Under IE - How?
Feb 6, 2007
we probably all know the problem that select boxes under IE are always
overlap DIV layers. Afaik there are two workarounds:
1. hiding the select box
2. IFrame beneath the DIV layer
But I don't know how to do that.
We want to show a DIV layer as tooltip.
The DIV layer has no defined size (neither a width nor a height
attribute). The size depends on the text the user defined for the tooltip.
My questions:
1. How can I know when the tooltip is 'over' a select box, so I can hide it.
2. How can I define an IFrame that has the same size as the tooltip,
when I don't know the tooltip's size?

I have two selectboxes. I just want it something like this, when I select a value in my first selectbox the second selectbox will show. And when I select different value on my first selectbox, my second selectbox will hide. Meaning, there is one value in my first selectbox that has the ability to show the second selectbox.

My code (below) works if I place the selectBoxes in different cells on a table. However, what I want is only ONE selectbox displayed at a time, not the 3 different select boxes in 3 different table cells of the table.
I initially want the citySelect to display, but if user clicks option [-- change country --], then the citySelect is REPLACED by the countrySelect. Then, on making a country selection, the countrySelect is REPLACED by a new citySelect which is populated with the new city list.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function loadCities(countryID){
if(countryID == "") {
[Code]....

I have an onchange method for a select box that goes something like
this (the select is in a form named aForm):
function page_on_change() {
pageElement = aForm.my_page_id;
aForm.nav_page_name.value =
pages[pageElement.options[ pageElement.selectedIndex ].value];
var si = pageElement.selectedIndex;
for ( i = 0 ; i < pages.size ; i++ ) {
document.getElementById("id_" + i).style.display='none'
}
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
}
IE fails on the statement:
document.getElementbyId("id_" + si).style.display='none'
and says it doesn't support this property.
What is the workaround?

use something like this to workaround the lack of a "Select All Friends" button for Facebook groups, events and pages?
<html>
<frameset cols="25%,75%">
<frame name=inviteall src="inviteall.html">
<frame name=main src="http://www.facebook.com">
</frameset>
[Code]...
This bit isn't mine, I found it. You normally have to use this by copying it and then pasting it into the address bar when you are on the "Select Friends" screen.

I'm currently constructing a javascript "terminal" on a site I'm building so that I can test objects and functions outside of the web developer terminal in google chrome.
Given that I have active javascript defining an object called item, typing item in the chrome terminal returns Object and goes on to list the properties of item.
Moreover, I can define a function in the terminal like this: function(x) { return x }, and then function(item) will return Object and list the properties. However, if I use form data and user input in the place of the argument, the datatype becomes a string and not an object, so typing item in the form and clicking a button that performs function(document.form.text.value) returns the string item and not Object.
Is there any way to convert this primitive string to an object so that I can then iterate through properties, and so on?

I have developed a widget. I am using the jquery core api. Im having a problem when the widget is used in a weebly site. I know weebly uses prototype and I am using the workaround:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); however there is still a clash of some sort. I think every prototype.js function is being called or something because the page is taking a long long time to load as there are many requests being made which look like this:

I was having trouble getting the object.focus() method in IE and in FF working, so came up with this workaround.
What I wanted to do was check if a textfield was numeric, if not, inform the user then select the text and set the focus back to the field.
Sound simple? object.focus() simply doesn't work in firefox or (I've been informed) IE.
Solution:
Instead of checking when the field losing focus (onblur), check when the next field receives focus (onfocus). Then call a function that gets the element index of the object, and use that index to check the element above it. Difficult to explain.
Here it is...for the textfield you want to check, put this into the next form object after it onfocus="checkNum(this)"
then put this script in the header section...
function checkNum(obj){
var idx;
//get object index
for(idx=0;idx<document.forms[0].elements.length;idx++){
if(document.forms[0].elements[idx].name==obj.name){
break;
};
};
//check for numeric
if (isNaN(document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].value)){
alert('Value must be a number!');
document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].select();
document.forms[0].elements[idx-1].focus();
};
};
But there is one problem!!! As I just found out.
If the next field is a group option, they all have the same name and so this will not work.
for those that do not know, the function isNaN is a js function that is the same as the vbscript equivalent IsNumeric.
isNaN means isNotaNumber.
Hope this helps, I know the focus() failure of JS has been the bane of many coders.

I was calling a function in a js file from an image onClick event, but
someone still using Netscape 4 (!) complained that it didn't work. I
read that img onClick doesn't work in Netscape 4, so swithced it to
"javascript:show(...);" and the code works, but I read in this group
that it was not wise to do that, here's the working version, using the
not recommended approach:
<a href="javascript:show('art_2.jpg',÷»',ò^');" target="_self">
I'd appreciate any suggetions that will let me call the "show" function
from an onClick image event that will work in most IE/Netscape 4+ browsers.

mailto protocol and Notes v6.5.5 which duplicates the address in the To: field (not a valid email address) and/or posts form data in the To:, cc, or Subject: field rather than in the body of the email where it belongs. I created an entire site relying on the mailto: protocol to submit requests. (Can't use either server side apps or cgi email. Don't ask - it's a long and rediculous story.) Anyway, then we got the new release of Notes and the whole thing has been rendered useless for request submissions.
Is it possible to write a script that will duplicate the mailto: form action and keep it client side? Big hurdle is that it has to pull info from all types of form elements, just like the mailto: protocol does with email clients that actually support it properly.

I have a select box whose options are populated from an xml file,which works fine for showing one option at a time, but what I would like to do is have one of the selections to be to show all of the options at the same time. At the moment I have it working with a checkbox that works off a separate piece of code, but it would be great to have that option within the select box.

Im trying to create a custom selectbox and Im having some problems, with it. What Im trying to do is have a function that loops through all <select> tags and find ones that only have the class name of "select" and then from there they get a custom select box. From there I have a variable passed in order to get the option. I created a few elements and etc... So at this stage Im just trying to get the text from the <option> tag within each individual <li> element and I can't get it working.

I'm using the niceforms plugin to style my select box. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the right javascript code to activate the links placed in the value option.
el.lnk._onclick = el.onclick || function () {
if(this.ref.oldClassName == "NFOnChange") {
//insert your code here
}};
This is my attempt at manipulating the code to allow url linking in the select drop down
el.lnk._onclick = el.onclick || function () {
if(this.ref.oldClassName == "NFOnChange") {
//code i added
window.location.href = $(this.ref).val();
}};
The PROBLEM is the links do not work as expected, they do not link to their corresponding values.
form class ="niceform"
select class ="NFOnchange"
option value = "http://link1.com" -> link1.com
option value = "http://link2.com" -> link2.com
option value = "http://link3.com" -> link3.com
i just need to insert the right bit of code to make the links correspond to their option values.
