I'm having a little trouble in 'Setting the cursor focus' on a text box, that I'm creating dynamically, when Clicked on a button (having the onccick attribute).So everytime the button is clicked, I get 3 text boxes. First text box, and the last text box, I made them uneditable. What I wanted to do was, setting the cursor focus in the second text box.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got an image for the Name & Email field in a form I've made. On click, I've got the images fade out, and replaced with the text field. The problem I have, is having the cursor go in the text field. I know it works if the text field was there when I click on it, but because clicking causes an event to put it in, it does't act like I clicked on the text field. So what I'm looking to do is at the end of the replaceWith(#name_field), I want it to simulate a click so that the cursor would automatically be in there.
Here is my js...
$("#name_img").click ->
$(this).fadeOut("slow").replaceWith $("#name_form")
$("#name_form").fadeIn "slow"
How to focus the cursor to the inputfields. I have to inputfields with the same input name.
Here's the example.
I need to focus the cursor in to the empty field which is the second one.
Here's my code but didn't work.
In FireFox, when one clicks on a fold and the fold expands, and if the mouse pointer is over the expanding content, then focus is drawn to each of the sub-menu items as they pass the mouse pointer. This makes the animation look a bit juddery.
In all other browsers, one clicks on a fold, focus is drawn away from the mouse pointer, the fold expands and then when one moves the mouse again the mouse pointer gets its focus back.You can see this best by clicking on the tabs "curriculum", then "admission", first in IE and then in Firefox.Is there any way to make the mouse pointer give up its focus in Firefox, so when the animation is taking place it ignores such rules as Code CSS:
.sub_link:hover{
background-color:#E8EFCF;
}
which have been applied to the sub-menu items?l would be something like "cursor.blur();" although obviously that won't work.
Below is example js:
function SomeLongProcess()
{
for(var i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor="wait";
// some long process here !!
for(var i=0;i<document.all.length;i++)
document.all(i).style.cursor="default";
}
so, the problem is, that the mouse cursor not change, until i focus to
different window, and return to this window.
In javascript normally when you call .focus() on a textbox id, it places the cursor inside the textbox.

I'm trying to write a function that is similar to the ctrl+f functionality you get in IE, where you have a search string and when you click 'next' the whole string if matched is highlighted by the cursor.
This works fine for inputs and text areas using the following code:
But now I need to get it to work for normal text in a text node that is in the HTML/DOM. Is there an equivalent way of making the above method work for text in text nodes?
Alternatively is there a way to make the browser (IE) at least focus on some text in a text node? (I could then highlight it with CSS styles).

Excel provides data entry help based on previous entries i.e. if in a previous cell in a column I entered "Jim Bob" then the next cell I type a "J" Excel provides help by showing "Jim Bob" in a way that allows me to pick it or keep typing. This is the kind of functionality I am trying to get using JS.
In the code below I create an array of previous entries by the user over the last 45 days this all comes from a DB but that's not important here. When the user enters a key in the textbox I can pop the text box with a matching value from the array, only up to the chars entered.
The Problem or Question:
Is there a way to place the curser back into the last position and highlight the remaining part of the match from the array?
This is really hard to explain but if you ever used Excel you may have an idea of what I am trying to do. Code:

I am using the following code to enter text into text box when it is
empty:
<input name="txt_url" type="text" class="form_text_300" id="txt_url"

it works fine but when it enters the text - 'http://' - the cursor
jumps back to the start of the line in the text box. How do I then
make the cursor be placed at the end of the text. For example:

It's supposed to be a custom button with centered text in. I cannot include the text in the image and make a bitmap out of it. I have to be able to change the text, and there are lots of different strings.

Is it possible to make it a hand?
In IE it is a simple matter of: range.text += text; but I am having great difficulty figuring it out for FF.I have looked online for hours but the only solutions that I can find are to do with inserting text into textareas which supply you with nice 'selectionStart', 'selectionEnd' properties. Using a textarea would be useless for my purposes and a div element does not have such properties. An implementation in this case I am thinking would rely solely on the range object for the necesary selection / cursor position information, but I cannot figure out how to do this using the FF/W3C Range object.What I'm basically doing is trying to enable the user to paste unformatted (plain) text into a contenteditable zone for a WYSIWYG editor. I have got it working in IE, but FF is a whole other kettle of fish for this particular issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently adding BBCode to my website, and I posted a while ago in this forum for a script that would add tags to my textarea when clicking an BBcode image. But my next problem now is that I need those tags to appear around selected text and at the mouse cursor if no text is selected. Currently all it does is just add the tags at the end of your sentence if you've written something in the textarea. Here is the code I use:
function lolwut(txt)
{
var ta = document.getElementById("my_ta");
ta.value += txt;
}
window.onload = function()
{
lolwut("");
}
