Automatically Close The Window When The Focus Is Lost From The Page
Jan 11, 2011
Ok so I have a site that I want to automatically close the window when the focus is lost from the page. For example, if the user clicks off the page to something else on there desktop I want the page to close. So far I have managed to do this but the grids on my page and the scroll bars all trigger the close function when clicked on. Is there anyway to make the scroll bars and drop down boxes not trigger the function?
I have an html button that calls & open another browser window on the onmouseup event, but once I close the popup new browser window my button has focus & is like selected.
I want it not to be selected or clicked or has focus, how do i loose the focus after close of popup window?
my page contains an applet. When I click on a link on the page, the applet will be launched. Now I need my page can be automatically closed when I close my applet. I can call the script from my applet to do this, but the poor thing is each time the script is called, IE will prompt to ask "the page you are viewing try to close the window ..".
Is there any possible way for the browser not to prompt like that. I only know that a closing a popup window will not askk anything, but I don't know more than this.
I recently wrote some code, which involves a list. Elements can be picked by up/down arrow keys.To highlight the elements, I'm using a similar call to objects[focus]stop (true,true).animate({'opacity': 1}, 200);(As you can see, all DOM elements are cached)the same call goes to the element which lost the focus, with an opacity value of 0.2.Whatsoever, I noticed on testing that the performance is just fine on firefox 2/3, IE 7/8, even Safari has good results.Only exception so far is Chrome, it's terribly slow on those calls with a CPU load of 40-50%.I didn't further investigate that behavior since it still works "OK" on Chrome, but SIGNIFICANT slower.
I have a product that has many features. Clicking on a feature opens a popup window with explanation. There is a js Close Window link in each. All is fine so far.
Now in one popup window there is a reference to a different page of the main website. Is it possible to have a single text link both CLOSE the popup AND go to a new page in the parent window?
to create a hyperlink which closes the window. However with pages which display data retrieved from a database using PHP i use a form to submit a search on the page which displays results. At the bottom of the page is the close window link, however it fails to work once a form has been submitted on the page. It only works when the page first loads.
Any ideas guys on how i can get a close window option that works on my results page after submitting a search?
I'm not sure if this question should go to the "JavaScript" section; but I'm open to non-JavaScript (like VBScript) options too. So, I'm posting this here.
I have the following problem:
For my application, I need to ask a confirmation when the user closes the browser-window. If the answer is positive, I would like to log-off the session and close the window. If the answer is negative, I would like to stay back (no logging-off, no closing the window).
I can't do this in the window.unload event because the window is already closed when the unload event is fired. I tried doing this in the beforeUnload event. But the beforeUnload event gets called even when I refresh the page and in that case, I don't want to ask this question or logoff.
I was curious if such a thing is possible, I've seen it done before, but not exactly sure how that would work. Would it have something to do with the window.close (); function?
I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Vista 32 Home Premium SP2 and only recently noticed that (javascript/jquery being enabled) link focus is lost when you tab through a page, follow the link to another page and then hit the backspace key to come back. Tab navigation continues at top of page, not with the next link after the one in focus before.
No problems in this respect with IE8 and Opera. As soon as you disable javascript with noscript, the problem disappears and link focus stays, so that tabbing brings on the next link instead of starting on top of page again.
Just confirmed it on jquery/com (following navigation link to Plugins and hitting backspace) and on learningjquery/com (navigation links). A Google search didn't yield any answers nor even any similar reports on this particular problem.
It's even more irksome in my particular case, since I have just implemented a stylesheet switcher in order to enhance certain accessibility aspects, but ironically this particular bug leads to a loss of accessibility.
Does anybody know what might be the reason (version 1.3.2.min related?, cookies related?, etc.) for this and how to solve it?
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:
This is irritating cause i read a arcticle with a solution to this in one of the many newsletters i receive, but then i didn't need it and now i do i can't find it, and i'm searching for days now .
I have say 3 links
link1 --- link2 --- link3
all of then formatted nicelly with CSS. When i select one of then, say link1, it becames with a diferent background color.
What i want is to keep tha backg color even when the user clicks anywhere on the page (thus loosing focus) and until another link is clicked.
I tought this could be possible in a CSS only way, but now i think i have to use some Javascript.
I have a problem that the window.opener variable is lost once my popup page has a postback. On multiple pages they address this problem but I cannot find a correct answer.
This is my situation:
I have a main page which shows invoices. When a user clicks on the invoices they get a popup where they can alter the invoice which uses postbacks because of direct changes in the database. Finally the user can click a button to accept the invoice and then I need to change two variables on the main page which opened this popup, the new invoice fee and status (which is based on the button pressed). I dont want any postbacks on the main page, therefore I simply want to pass these two variables from the popup to the main page.
However, after a single postback on the popup page the window.opener variable is gone and lost forever. Now I have seen solutions using frames but I do not know how to go from there because I also pass some variables from the main page to the popup.
I want to trap the window.close() event when the user clicks on the close button of the browser using javascript. Can anyone shed light on this problem ?
I have an alert message just like alert("Hiii"); I want to close it automatically as soon as it appears. It means I don't want to show this alert message to client.
I have a form which open in a jQuery Fancybox Window. The fancybox window opens automatically when the page loads. When it loads, I would like it to set focus on the username field in the form in the Fancybox window. I have found that this must be done when fancybox is envoked, thus I have tried the below code which does not work :
There are many ways for setting focus on form fields. I'm actually looking for some code that automatically detects if there is any form on the page & then automatically sets the focus to the first field of the form.
No need of putting Form Name & Field Name in Javascript. Is there any way to do this ???
I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
- I have a button on my Flash site that opens an HTML page in a popup window. In Flash, I open the new window using Actiosnscript 2.0:
- Within the popup window are links to other HTML pages. They all open in the same window. I've been using the following to create the links in Dreamweaver:
- On each page, I have a "Return to Main Menu" button that should close the popup window. To do this, I have been using:
- The problem is that it works differently in each browser, and I can't even get it to consistently close the window in most browsers:
Internet Explorer = popup message appears, asking "Are you sure you want to close this window?" or something similar; window closes after clicking "Yes."
Safari = Only closes if I'm on the original HTML page. If I click on any of the other links (note that these all open in the same window), those pages' "Return to Main Menu" buttons cease to work. However, if I keep clicking "Back" until I get to the original page, it closes.
Opera = Button actually works for each page.
Firefox & Chrome = Does not close the window at all.
I looked into it and saw that others have used a window.opener to solve similar issues. But, since my popup window is opened using Flash/AS2, I need to find a way around it.
I've tried preceding "window.close()" with "window.opener=null" (i.e. -onClick="window.opener=null; window.close()"), but I don't think I'm doing it right because it still doesn't work.
I've also seen others use codes that involve functions and variables, but it is beyond my current coding knowledge to implement this. Like I said, I'm sort of new at this.
At the moment, I have datepicker working on my page, and I really like it. When I tab through my form, and the date field receives the focus, the calendar opens. I pick a date and it closes. but some times I'm tabbing backwards through a form, or tabbing over a date field that already has a date in it, and just want to "tab on by". Datepicker open when the date field receives the focus, but does not close when the date field loses the focus.
I have a page where a user can progressively download more thumbnail images. New thumbnails are loaded using '$.get' followed by an 'append' to the main thumbnail container. If a user clicks on a thumbnail then they link to another page to see the full size image. If the user then presses the back button, the page of thumbnails has returned to its initial state. I was hoping that all the additionally downloaded thumbnails would remain in memory! Is there a way around this? Keeping track of any additional thumbnails that have been downloaded when navigating the to the full size image page and then re-loading them when the user returns to the thumbnails page is not really an option as I don't want the user having to wait for this. This is what facebook appears to do after one has loaded lots of additional items on their news feed - if one links to another page and hits the back button, my suspicion is that all the items are re-loaded - they're not just re-displayed from memory.
I read about window object and specifically about creating popup windows. The code below produces a popup window when a link is clicked:
Code JavaScript: var Survey = { init: function() { var surveyLink = document.getElementById("survey"); Core.addEventListener(surveyLink, "click", Survey.clickListener); }, [Code]....
I would like to add a "Close Window" button on survey.html page and when that button is clicked, the window would close. How do I do that? I know that I should use (reference to popup window).close(), but how and where do I attach even listener to that button?
I need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!
I have an HTML page where I am opening a child window using window.open. the child window is something like yahoo.com. I want to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed.
