example: onkeypress="return eventHandlerFunction(event)"
Why is it that you need the return keyword?
Where does the argument event come from?
I know it works, I just want to know why it works.
I've been looking at some refferences and can't seem to find an answer if someone could give me an explanation or point me to a website, that would be great.
I've written a script that displays tooltips when your mouse hovers over a link - all this is fine, but when I click on the link and move to another page, then click the back button on the browser to go back, the tooltip for the link I clicked is still visible! It'd be great if there was a way of detecting the button had been pressed so that I can hide it...
p.s. I tried onclick = "tooltips.hideToolTip(4); return true;" for the links but no joy...
I want to be able to find out what key the user pressed, rather than just that they pressed one. As far as i can see there is only functionality to get that the user pressed the shift key.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThe idea I want here is when the user click on a character name from the drop down select bar at the bottom of the the form under case 1 and hits Add it is supposed to add it as a new LI in the UL that's under the drop down. Also what I woudl like to do is when the user as chosen all of the characters they want to I would like to insert the data into the insert tag inside my function at the bottom of this code strip and take the first character selected and put it into the insert with the column of default_char_id and default_news_id.
Right now when you click the right submit button next to the drop down all it does is go back to the default page I have set up.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying through a form to display a loading gif when pressed the submit button. I've found on the net this code, but something is wrong. If a keep the id="form33" I can see my loading.gif displayed in place of the submit button, but nothing else happen, form not send. If I delete id="form33", I don't see anymore the loading gif, but my form is correctly sent and after few seconds ping2.php is opened..
[Code]...
<BODY onmousemove="return false;" oncontextmenu="return false;">
<IMG src="button.gif" onmouseover="this.src='down.gif'"
onmouseout="this.src='button.gif'">
</BODY>
This simple example shows where my problem is. It works fine when all
mouse buttons are released, and also if a button is pressed outside
the image. But if a button is pressed inside the picture it'll not
call onmouseout when the mouse is brought outside the picture. The
worst is it'll never call it, leaving the button stuck pressed forever
until mouse is moved over it again.
I just noticed if I place the picture inside an A tag it does work
fine then, but I don't need an A element here. Moreover, this fix
appears to work only for IE6, IE4 still doesn't work properly.
I'm asking if there's some other way to correct this. I'm also making
this compatible with Netscape 4.5, and the presence of an A element
changes the event.target.
The fact is I can't seem to disable the default drag'n drop of IE with
pictures. Netscape 4.5 appears to work perfectly. By placing
onmousemove="return false;" in BODY I aboid the cursor change in IE
but nothing else.
I want to capture the event when the <ctrl> key is pressed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a javascript that could record the ID/name of a textbox when the user hit delete or backspace to be used on the next page after submission in a PHP script.
There are 96 text boxes, they are all randomly placed on the screen with a question that came from a randomized array's keys (the script later checks the values of the textboxes with the values from the array's keys that correlate to the textboxes by the name/id of the textbox, which is assigned by a for loop that issues the next($array) to assign everything everywhere.
At the same time, it needs to count how many times the backspace/delete were pushed and have that recorded and sent as well.
After 45 minutes of research I've been able to solve the "count the backspace/delete key" problem:
<script type="text/javascript">
var count = 0;
document.onkeypress=function(e){
var e=window.event || e
[Code]....
But onto the name/id issue: I'm not sure how to go about retrieving the names/id of the textboxes. I would assume a onkeypress event for every textbox, but hope that there could be something I could just add to this code.
I want to disable a function when a user is pressing control or command using Javascript. Is this at all possible? My reason for doing this is because I recently implemented lightbox to my script, but I still want users to be able to open the image in a new tab by just clicking control or command when clicking the image rather than opening it in lightbox (which it does).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a textarea where text can be entered and when pressing an image the copy sign will appear. When the copy image is pressed, it is only when the cursor is in the end of the text that the cursor comes after the copy sign.

Ultimate goal to is allow one button to have different actions with the Shift, Control or Alt key pressed for a link "<a...>" or a button ("<input type='button'" or "<button>.") click.
