Focus() Problem With Netscape <input OnBlur>
Jul 20, 2005
I'm having a problem returning focus back to an input field in Netscape. The
code works in IE and Opera but not in netscape6+.
Basically I have a function that is called upon exiting a form field, if the
value validates properly it returns true and calls another function, if it
doesn't validate the field it returns false and I want to give focus back to
the sender and highlight all of the text in the field.
The problem is that while IE and opera return the curser back to the field -
Netscape ignores the focus statement (I still can't find any examples as to
how to return the curser and highlight the text in the field). Code:

Supose I have a couple inputboxes, and all have onBlur ---> purpose to evaluate min lenght of text, ... before exiting
input box.
They are all contained inside iFRAME. The onBlur event triggers allso outside iframe, on close browser window, etc
which is unwanted.
1.How to limit onBlur event triggering to objects inside certain IFRAME
2. or..
<input type='text' id='nick' onblur = func(this) ...
function func(obj)
{
// pseudocode - can this be done somehow?
alert(document.getElementById('the next obj that just recived focus'));
}

I have a problem where there is an onBlur check for a valid entry. The javascript checks the entry and if it is incorrect it does an alert and then puts the focus back onto the incorrect field, so valid data has to be entered.
This is a generic function so it uses 'this' - onBlur="chkMonthDob(this);"
The function then checks it and puts the focus back on 'this' if it is wrong. This all works fine in IE but in Firefox it does not put the focus back.
Using the Firefox getaround :- setTimeout("document.orgsp.d1_org_dob_mth.focus()", 1); works, however, when it is called with 'this' as a parameter you don't know what the field is to be focussed on, so I had hoped that putting :-
var focusField = myField.id;
setTimeout("document.getElementById(focusField).focus()", 1);
would work - but Firefox say focusField is undefined.

I have an AJAX application for a form that has 4 columns and 170 rows. It uses an onblur call to update a database each time you move out of a cell. This works fine.
Client wanted to validate for a number so I added a function to check for this and an alert call if the numer check failed. This works fine.
However, dismissing the alert results in the focus moving to the next cell rather than returning to the invalid cell. Big problem. I have been successful in coding focus to go to any other cell in the table except the one with the errror. Code:

I have a requirement to handle dates by using three fields, a (year) text field and two (month and day) selects. I fill the selects using jQuery, which works beautifully. However, I have an onblur handler for the year field that handles filling the month select and an onblur handler for the month select that handles filling the day select. Part of this is to get the right number of days for a month (and for leap years), but part of it is also to force users to enter the data in order so that I can process it correctly.
However, I check in both the onblur handler of the year text box and the onblur handler of the month select whether or not the year value is entered (since if it isn't, there's no point in continuing to the day field). If there is no year value, I call
$year.focus();
and exit the handler.
Unfortunately, the focus when all this returns is still on the month select. Adding "event.preventDefault()" and "event.stopPropogation()" within the handler have no effect.
I have a feeling that there's something very subtle going on that I'm missing. Among the points I have realized is that calling $year.focus() in the year onblur handler may activate the month onblur handler (since the month is the next input, I assume it gets focus when the year is blurred). This should not have any effect, since both handlers check for the year value just in case - but I wanted to note it in passing.

I have a three textboxes in a form. Using OnBlur, I am attempting to call a function to add one to an input textbox to add 1 to the cost.As the user enters text into textbox01, the number 1 appears in the input box about cost, as the user enters text into textbox02, the input box displays 2 and the user enters text into textbox03, the input box displays 3.
My JavaScript is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
//copies contents of first textbox to second textbox

I want to have a function on an event
<span id= "nameheader"> </span>
<form method ="post" action="send.php">
<input
id = "nameinput"
class = "input"
value = "name"
onfocus = "focus();"
onblur = "blur();"
/>
That is when you focus on the input box the value ' name' gets put above the box and when you focus on something else it goes back to the box.
this is my function
focus(){
document.getElementById('nameheader').innerHTML = 'name';
document.getElementById('nameinput').value = '';
}
And I would obviously do the opposite for onblur event.

How can you print a page which with a BODY tag which uses onBlur="self.focus()"?
The print window appears, but the fields and buttons are inoperable, since the parent window is still the active one.

I am working on a form where users enter a Start Date and an End Date via a pop up calendar using JavaScript. This works well. From the results of that data, I need to
1) Calculate the number of days + 1;
2) Multiply #1 by $25 to get the amount allocated for meals - and I need it done dynamically.
Now, I can get this to work using onblur in the two input fields for the dates, but that means users would have to put the focus within the input fields after they've done the calendars and tab or click else where in order for the values to take effect and the javascript to calculate the correct values for meal. It was suggested to try to use jquery, which I have been trying to no avail and I'm just wondering if I am doing this wrong. I thought .trigger or .triggerHandle would do it, but nothing seems to happen.
Here's my script I'm trying to use to activate these scripts:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#en_date").blur(function() {
$("#input25").triggerHandler("blur");});
$("#input25").blur(function() {
$("#en_date").trigger("blur");
}
</script>
My input fields have this:
<br /><b>* Start date - </b>
<input type="text" id="st_date" name="st_date" maxlength="25" size="25" value="<?php echo $st_date; ?>" onblur="cal7();" />
<a href="#" onClick="cal13.select(document.forms[0].st_date,'st_date','yyyy-MM-dd'); return false;" TITLE="cal13.select(document.forms[0].st_date,'st_date','yyyy-MM-dd'); return false;" NAME="st_date" ID="st_date">
<img src="images/cal.gif" border="0" width="16" height="16" alt="Pick a date" />
</a><br />
<b>* End date - </b> .....
The End Date is tied to the Start Date, as you can tell above. For the calendar, I am making it launch with this command:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" ID="js13">
var cal13 = new CalendarPopup();
</SCRIPT>
I've tried just using a simple if/then statement within my javascript that calculates the values, but it doesn't launch automatically, which is my problem, and it should launch immediate after the "End Date" variable has been entered. Everything else works.

I have an array like this:
I need to compare these array items to my site div id's and make an onblur functionality that changes the input field value.
It does not change the selected input field value(this.value). And it only alerts when blurring from the input field that is first in the array(id1). If i click to the input field id="id2" it does not alarm?

I'd like to have the cursor in the login form's username input text field when users load the login page. It works fine with the following implementation:
<body onload="document.login.username.focus();">
<form name="login" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
<input type="text" name="username" onLoad="self.focus();">
The problem is that the input field's name cannot be simly "username",
because it posts an element of an array, therefore the name is
"upd[username]".
Unfortunately when the above implementation is modified according to
the input field's name, I receive a script error.
<body onload="document.login.upd[username].focus();">
<form name="login" method="post" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
<input type="text" name="upd[username]"
onLoad="self.focus();">
I assume I'd need to escape 'upd[username]' on the 'body onload' line
somehow, but I don't know how.

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()
but nothing seems to work.
How must I do that in Netscape and/or Mozilla?

I have some accordions within jquery tabs. Within some of the accordions I have input boxes, select boxes etc. I have no issues with the select boxes, but with the input boxes clicking into them does not give focus to them and I cannot type anything in. However, right-clicking a couple of times do then allow text to be types in.
Example section from accordion with input that cannot get focus:
<h3><a href="#">Search by a reference</a></h3>
<div>
<fieldset>
<label for="invoiceRef">Invoice Reference</label> <input type="text"

I would like to test if a particular input field has focus before allowing an event to take place. How can I do this, I tried using:
if ($('input#div_name').focus()) { do_something... }
But I guess many of you already know that in this case all it did was transfer focus to input#div_name - Which is not what I wanted to do - I wanted to only test if input#div_name had focus.

The function below will automatically move to the next input field in the event that a user hits the enter key. I'm trying to modify it so that it moves to the next input field with a tabindex set. So, in the example below, it'll move to the next input field chronologically, instead of how they're ordered on the page itself:
<input type="text" name="a" tabindex="1" />
<input type="text" name="b" tabindex="3" />
<input type="text" name="c" tabindex="2" />
how I can do it?
Code:
$('input').live("keypress", function(e) {
/* ENTER PRESSED*/
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
/* FOCUS ELEMENT */

I have an input (type="text") with some default text telling the user to enter something in the box. The input tag includes an onmousedown event which runs javascript function to clear the default text so the user can start entering their own text.This setup behaves in two possible ways, one is good and one is bad:
Good: If the user clicks inside the text box, but after the default text, the text gets cleared and the cursor shows up at the beginning of the text box.
Bad: If the user clicks inside the text box, but directly on the default text, the text gets cleared, but the cursor is not displayed and the text box does not have the focus. In order to start typing, the user must click on the text box again.
So my question is: If the cursor is inside a string of text which gets cleared, is there a way to reinstate the cursor and the text box focus?

Basically I want to prevent a user from moving to another field if the current one is invalid (non-numeric).I've tried a few things that I though would do the job, I've also tried using the change event with the last line (resetting the focus to the current element) but no dice.
jQuery('.setupprice, .monthlyprice, .quantity','#config_dialog').live('focusout',function(e)
{
var val = parseFloat(jQuery(this).val());
