Call Window.open() From A Keypress Event?

Nov 11, 2007

I've got a script which is called by a keypress event, something like this:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function respondToKey(e) {
keyPressed = String.fromCharCode(e.which);
if(keyPressed == 'g'){
alert('you pressed the g key');
window.open('http://google.com');
}
}

</script>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body onkeypress="respondToKey(event)">
hit the g key to open a google window
</body>
</html>

when you hit the right key, the alert appears, but the window.open() never happens. There's not even a message in the Error Console, just nothing.

Is this a security feature? Any way I can get around it? And, if it's a security feature, is the fact that it fails silently with no error message also a security feature? Because it's rather annoying.

Window.open, How To Call From Link/button

Feb 10, 2001

I have the code worked out, I just need to know how to call it from a hyperlink on an existing page. The code is as follows:

<script>
window.open('http://www.mysite.net/chat.htm', 'DummyName', 'height=350,width=520', false);
</script>

This works fine on a page by itself, but it opens the "chat.htm" page, as well as one before it that runs the code. It would be much better to just run it from a hyperlink button from the main page and not load the first unnecessary page in the first place.

JQuery :: Why PreventDefault At Keypress Event Prevent The Change Event

Aug 13, 2011

look at this script :

$(function(){
$('input').bind('keypress',null,b).bind('change',null,a);
});
function a(){

[Code].....

this script bind both keypress and change of the text box to functions b and a. at keypress event handler if user type a char on input box the value of input box change to x and the user char discarded. In this case we expected to run the onchange (change) event because the textbox value is changed BUT this doesn't happen.

JQuery :: Call A Method From Current Class Using Keypress ?

Mar 30, 2011

I have the following code in one of my pages. My problem is caused, because the method "processEvent" is never called, but I have no idea why. I guess it is broken, because I don't relay the "this" object correctly.

<script type="text/javascript">
var MyClass = function()
{
this.init = function()

Keypress Event In DOM?

Jun 18, 2003

DOM2 does not provide a key event module. (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Events-20001113/events.html#Events-eventgroupings-keyevents) That's fine. I'm down with that.

According to the DOM3 Events spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-KeyboardEvents-Interfaces) (in last call), there's no keyPress event, only keyDown and keyUp. Instead (I guess) they've defined a new interface for text events (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-DOM-Level-3-Events-20030331/events.html#Events-TextEvent), which provides one event type: textInput.

Should I not code event handlers for keyPress events if I wish to write DOM-compliant scripts? IE & Moz both register a keyPress; I'm sure that it won't be outphased. I worry instead about a new and better browser appearing and balking on my script because it's coded exactly to spec.

Click Event - Mouse Or Keypress

Sep 1, 2007

Is there any cross-browser method of determining whether a click event was triggered by a mouse left click or the keyboard's 'enter' key? I was expecting event.button, or event.which to be able to do this, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Checking event.clientX == 0 && event.clientY == 0 works in FF, but not in IE.

Override A Keypress Event And Redirect It To Another?

May 6, 2010

Code...

I'm getting an error object required on the window.onkeypress line.

I have a data entry app and the users are keying with their right hand on the number pad and flipping pages with their left. If they want to use the normal tab key they have to take their hand off of the papers to do so. I figured it would be pretty simple to override the keypress even for the + key and divert it to act like tab was pressed instead.

Chrome Not Firing Window.addEventListener Keypress

Aug 20, 2010

On my site we have image galleries that pop up over top of the page in a higher z-index and position:fixed, and another div between the gallery and background with opacity set to about 85%. The image gallery div has a close button, and I was asked to make the gallery also close by pressing ESC, so I added this:

igevt=function(evt){checkclosegal(evt)}
window.addEventListener('keypress',igevt, false)
and checkclosegal:
function checkclosegal(evt)

[Code]....

This works perfectly in Firefox and Opera, but Chrome and Safari don't fire the event (not worried about ie right now - I know it uses attachEvent). Could it have something to do with the gallery being in a higher z-index?

JQuery :: Making Call On BeforeSend Event Of Another Call?

Apr 30, 2010

I need to make a $.post call on the beforeSend event of another $.ajax call.I read the documentation and I see that if the beforeSend return false the ajax call will be interrupt.So I made this code but doesn't work, because the real value of the beforesend function isn't true or false, is the value of the post.I have to do this because when you click on a link I need to verify before if you are able to do this via db permission of my webapp.I think you don't understand...This is the code:

$.ajax({
async: true,
beforeSend: function(){[code]....

});I see always the alert of success event, so the return of the beforesend is not correctly done.

JQuery :: OnChange Event - Web Application - Each Blur Event Makes A Call Webserver To Store Value Of Textfield

Jan 21, 2010

I'm currently facing a weird issue with the onchange event. I have a web application where each blur event makes a call the webserver to store the value of the textfield. I only want to trigger that ajax call when something has changed, so i track the onchange event on each textfield to set a flag if something has changed.

The onchange event always fires to first time when i click outside of a textfield even if i didn't change anything in the field.

I narrowed it down to the following: A prefilled textfield always fires the onchange-event the first time you leave the textfield. An initially empty textfield does not fire the onchange event.

Sample code (IE 8 on Windows 7 computer):

script:

HTML:
