View 1 RepliesI have an input box with an id. I also have a jquery hotkey plugin which fires when I press F8 in this case.
$(document).bind('keydown', 'f8', function (){
//do stuff here
return false;});
The hotkey works just fine. (ive tested with alert boxes). What I am trying to do is find the cursor location (and then the elements id) when the f8 key is pressed. or...
I want to find which input has focus on keydown.
I have created a form with malsup's Form Plugin wherein it submits on change of the inputs. I have set up my jQuery script to index drop down menus and visible inputs, and uses that index to determine whether keydown of tab should move focus to the next element or the first element, and likewise with shift+tab keydown. However, instead of moving focus to the first element from the last element on tab keydown like I would like it to, it moves focus to the second element. How can I change it to cycle focus to the actual first and last elements? Here is a live link to my form: [URL]. Here is my script:
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
target: '#c_main',
success: setFocus
[Code]....
I am writing a programmatically control the focus (basically what I want is to transform "tab" to "enter")... why do I want such a non standard thing? Customer request... and since he is paying, I have to implement it.
Now, currently I solved the problem by finding the next element with a greater "tabIndex" value, but that forces me to configure tabIndex values for everything in my form... and that is specially problematic because some of my UIs are generated dynamically with information in the database...
So, what I want, is to find the next ":input" element traversing the DOM tree in the same way the focus moves when pressing the "tab" key... that should be something like "find the next sibling that is ":input"... if none found, go to parent node, got to sibling of parent node, look in there... if none found, and this parent has no next sibling, go to the parent of the parent and repeat operation recursively..
is there (somewhere) a jQuery plugin (or method) that already does this? Or do I need to write it?
My DOM structure in HTML page have some elements 'IMG'. One of 'img' element have attribute 'src' = 'lolo1.jpg'. How can i find the 'DIV' element with this specific 'img' element inside? I have to find nearest 'DIV'.

I am working on a firefox extension. The job is to sit in the status bar and as I type into any form on any webpage, listen for keyboard events, then modify the key pressed by mapping it to some foreign unicode character and then sending it to the form in focus.
As I see it, there are two ways I can achieve it.
1) Capture the event, modify it and then send it and not be concerned with the form in focus.
2) Capture the event, prevent default action., find a unicode mapping for the key pressed, find the form in focus and based on the type of form, call a method to explicitly insert the mapped character at the cursor position.
Right now I am not able to find a way to do either. Once I get the focused element, I can do something to it. But I am not yet able to get that. I even tried document.activeElement, but it doesnt seem to work in firefox.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to extend jquery to include a function that will select elements with focus. In the same way :input selects all inputs :selected selects all selected etc but instead :focus or focused: which would select the focused element. I have a table which includes an input field on each row (like a simple datagrid). Id like to be able to hit an access key and delete the row (input textbox) which has focus ie the row which the cursor has been placed in.
I found this but it selects the first input textbox only for some reason?... and not the one with focus.
$.extend($.expr[':'], {
focused: function(elem) { return elem.hasFocus; }
});
var id = $('input :focused').val();
console.log(id);
Below is the code which is used to validate the entries on a form(some field are not be left blank). The user gets the msg when he hits the "Check"button.

I need a piece of javascript to focus on the captcha as shown in the image inside the green box. At this minute I have this which doesn't work all that great for some reason but it gets it to the general area...
if (( document.URL.indexOf("cast_skills") != -1 ) || ( document.URL.indexOf("security_prompt") != -1 ) || ( document.URL.indexOf("joinraid") != -1 )){
if ( document.forms.length > 0 ) {
document.forms[0].elements[1].focus();
}
}
As I said this does the job to some extent however it does not leave the focus in a perfect position so that the captcha is readable and the text box visible to type in, as illustrated in the red box in the above image.
I have an input element on a form. When I open a popup form and then close it, I try to put the focus back on my input element by using the focus() method. However, that fails and it doesn't get focus.When I press tab to get out of this input element, it takes several tries for it to get the tab event (since it wasn't focused, but how come it suddenly gets focus to respond later?)

I seem to be having trouble with the following function:Code:

y +=el.offsetTop;

Can I safely assume that, if an element is clicked, then it obtains the focus? Alternatively, I can set the focus with something like this:
$('#my-button').bind('click', function() { $(this).trigger('focus'); });
I want to handle focus and blur events on any DIV element but don't know how? I tried this one:
$('.myDIV').bind('focus',function(event){
// something

But it doesn't work!
I currently have the following code: But when i press the select (dropdown menu) de inputfield description gets focused too.
$('html:not(select)').click(function(){

$('html').not('select').click(function(){
$('input[name=description]').focus();
});
In the code below I am trying to give focus to the 'input.qualifier' element when one of the options under 'select.qualifier' is chosen. [code]...

All I want to do is, when clicking on an element, find any other elements with the same class name (and show/hide or do something with them).[code]...
But I need the class name to be a variable so this function is reusable.
What am I doing wrong?
