I'm currently making a web application which needs to be fully compatible with iPad. The functions I've implemented so far work perfectly on Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. However, the iPad itself responds a bit different. After a certain action, I want to put focus on a textfield with the help of Javascript. Again, this works perfectly with the normal browser, the iPad browser however seems to be blocking the focus. The reason I'm not posting any code is because it's basically irrelevant. All I do is:
Is there a way to set the focus on a form field without using focus()? I use ajax to build the form and if I try to set the focus using focus() an error is generate because of the form hasn't been built by ajax. So, it would be nice if I could set the focus() as I built the form.
What's a reliable way to tell when the browser window has either gained or lost focus?
I've tried something like <frameset ... onFocus="..."> in the top level frameset, but it's intermittent at firing when the browser gets the focus back.
Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
I think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus.A simplified version of my problem is:I've defined the function
function two_focus() { document.getElementById("two").blur();
I have a script that runs when the page is loaded to set focus to a field. If I have an alert immediately before I call focus() on the field everything is good. If the alert isn't there, the cursor never shows up in the field...however, it scrolls to the textbox and if I hit tab I move to the field immediately following it which would indicate I really do have focus on the field, yet the cursor isn't there so I can't start typing in the field. I thought it might be an issue with the page not being fully loaded but if that is the case why does it scroll down to the field and move to the next field after hitting tab. This is a hard one to explain and what complicates it more is that it's in an AJAX responseText environment so it's hard to nail down. Any ideas on this?
Does anyone know how to do the input focus fade in and fade outs that is seen at Apple's mobile me website at [URL] I would love to implement it in my own login box.
I'm using JS to dynamically change the CSS attrib's of User Input Fields in a form. It works fine for text input fields but does not seem to work at all for TEXTAREAS. (IE6) Is there a tweak that might overcome this limitation? Code:
I was wondering if there is any way with onload that I can highlight (blue color) the select box field while simultaneously placing the mouse cursor or focus on a text box immediately below it?
I've written the following function who works great in IE
function OnlyCharacter(tekst) { if (tekst.length == 1) { if (tekst >= "A" && tekst <="Z") {return true} } window.alert ("Only uppercase"); form1.Sectie.focus(); }
But in Netscape or Mozilla I can't bring back the focus on the field (Sectie) when the input is not correct
I've tried the following :
1) var box; box = document.forms[0].elements[1]; box.focus() 2)document.getElementById("Sectie").focus(); 3) document.form1.Sectie.focus()
The user enters a serial number in the "Serial_Number" field and hits enter I would like the cursor to move DOWN to the next "Serial_Number" field. Is this possible??
I have 2 fields for phone number.one is of size 3 and another is 7.After reaching maximum size for first field it automatically focus next field.I coded it as
I have a set of fields(text) that are populated with data. When you tab through the fields some show focus by highlighting the entire word while others do not. What is the reason for this and can I force the highlighting?
How do I set focus on the next textfield in form when there are two characters typed in the textfield before. Like entering serialcodes for installation, you can just keep typing and the characters will appear in the next textfield when the textfield before is full.
I want to get the id of an element to set focus to a particular field in javascript using classname or tagname... Is it possible to do that... I dont want to use document.getElementById to get the id...Or is there any way to set the focus of an element using classname or tagname.... (wihtout using id)
Assuming I have the functions, "isNumber" and "isEmpty", how would I write the HTML INPUT type="text" element such that a person cannot exit the element unless they have typed in a valid number (as defined by the function isNumber) or left the field empty (as defined by isEmpty)? Thus, if they have typed in "aaa" and then pressed "Tab" to go the next element, they'd get a warning message, and be returned to the old element?
Ideally, this solution would work for both the latest versions of Firefox and IE.
When I click on a field, I put the object position in a variableEnviro["lastfocus"] = $(event.target);I call the action and a block of HTML arrived on the page, I place this text and then after, i want the focus to return to the field and I do this:
The xx div is opened as a overlay using jQuery.overlay plugin. Now this works great. But when this form is opened i want to give focus to the first html:text field.
I'm submitting a form when the value of a drop-down menu changes. After that I would like to remove the focus from the field itself. I have tried different things: blur, focus=remove and so on but no one works. How can I remove the focus for a field?
I found the precursor of this script online, I modified a few small things, I ran the results through jslint, I fixed the apparent errors, and then I formatted it. This is what I came up with:
function clearText(thefield){ if (thefield.defaultValue == thefield.value){ thefield.value = ""; } } function echeck(str){ [Code]....
I'm trying to make a form with a postal code input. But there are 6 input fields within a div container. When some one types just one letter they automatically go to the next input field this continuing until they reach the last input area.
