Onchange Handler Not Working As Desired

Feb 18, 2010

So I have a form with three drop down boxes. When I select a value in the first drop down box, the options for the second dropdown box are retrieved from a PHP script via AJAX. Likewise, when I select a value in the second dropdown box, the options for the third are also retrieved via AJAX. This is done with an onchange handler. You can see how this works at the following: [URL] That works perfectly. I run into problems later however when I try to change the value in one of the dropdown boxes with Javascript.

See, I have a text field that a user can enter a string into (this feature is not in the sandbox at that URL yet), and that string will then be used to populate the dropdown boxes. For example, if the user enters "subject-genus-dog", then "subject" should become selected in the first dropdown box, "genus" should be selected in the second dropdown box, and "dog" should be selected in the third. The problem is, the onchange handler doesn't seem to trigger when the value of the first dropdown box is changed to "subject", and thus the second dropdown box does not get populated with options via AJAX, and so "genus" cannot be selected because the only option in the second dropdown box is the default "select a value in the first box".

Why doesn't the onchange handler trigger when a dropdown box is changed with the following code? [code=text]document.getElementById(destination).value = reloadValuesSubArr[1];[/code] Is this a bug in Javascript? Or am I doing it wrong? Keep in mind that the value of the first dropbox changes without issue, but the onchange handler does not trigger.

Offset Not Working As Desired In FireFox

May 23, 2006

I have developed script library for dispalying calendar for my web
pages.

To display calendar, i am using div tag and with in div tag, i am
defining the dates.

This div tag is wrapped by IFrame control, in order to make the div tag
overlap over 'select' controls.

These controls (both Div and IFrame) are dynamically generated and i am
setting the width of div tag based on my text box associated with the
calendar.

IFrame width is determined by Div tag's offsetWidth.

This calculation works properly in IE 6.0, but when it comes to Firefox
1.5.0, the offsetWidth has been calculated wrongly and my calendar
shrinks abnormally.

Radio Buttons And The OnChange Event Handler

Jul 20, 2005

the onChange handler for radio buttons only seems to work when I
click on the specific radio button. If I cause it to change - become
unchecked - by clciking on another radio button in the group the handler
doesn't get called. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

I want to set optional properties of certain questions depending upon
whether radion button (a) is clicked or not. Is there some other event I
could set the handler for?

JQuery :: Focus Not Working In Onblur Handler?

Apr 28, 2011

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.

JQuery :: Ajax Call Not Working Within Click Handler Function?

May 18, 2010

I have the following code:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#link').click(function() {
alert('Clicked!');
$('#content').load('dialogs/load/content', function() {});
});
});

The link is a normal link that is not dynamically created. The alert works. I know the problem is not the Ajax call because this works just fine:

$(document).ready(function(){
$('#content').load('dialogs/load/content', function() {});
$('#link').click(function() {

[Code]....

It only breaks when located inside the click handler. It does not return response headers or a response. Is there something about event handlers and ajax that I'm missing?

OnChange Event Is Not Working

Jul 23, 2005

In JavaScripts checks for an onChange event against the value of the
textbox at the time of the last onChange event. Since an onChange
Event never fired after you changed the text first time , suppose we
put the same value in the text box then no event is fired.

If we put some other value then it became fired...
It wouldn't fire if we put the same value...

I don't want to use onBlur etc... Isthere any solution with onChange
Event...?

Dynamic Onchange Not Working

Mar 28, 2006

I've got some javascript that adds in form elements after a page has loaded. The checkboxes need an onchange event added to them which will call a function. However, if I enter the function call against the onchange event it doesn't work, if i enter the full function against the onchange then it does. Hard to explain but here's the working and non-working Code:

OnChange Event Not Working In IE Properly / Fix It?

Aug 19, 2009

I have the following code which works fine in FF but not in IE. code...

In FF, when you change the Fund dropdown to be Romanian Floods, the location dropdown disappears and the location_box text box appears which displays the second part of the value (Romania). If you select another value from the Fund dropdown again, this box disappears and the location dropdown box would appear again. This is exactly what I need it to do.

In IE, whenever you select anything in the Fund dropdown (doesn't matter whether it is Romanian Floods or anything else), the value in the Fund dropdown disappears and thus when I press submit it doesn't work!

Next Previous Buttons - Images Not Rotate In Desired Order

Jan 2, 2011

I'm still a beginner to javaScript, but I'm trying to write a script for a simple image change using next and previous buttons. The following script works, except that the images do not rotate in the desired order. The script works as long as you don't switch from next to previous, which is when the wrong images are shown.

<html>
<head>
<title>Button Click 12</title>
<style type="text/css">
button {
font-family:georgia;
font-style:italic;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
cursorointer;
border:1px solid red;
background-color:aqua;
display:inline-block;
padding:2px 20px;
margin:0 5px;

Onchange=this.form.submit() Working In FF, Chrome, Not IE7?

Jul 21, 2009

I have two radio buttons. When their value changes the form is resubmitted. In other words, when you select the other one, the form is resubmitted.However, in internet explorer, it takes two clicks. The first click is to change the radio button (it has to be changed) and the second is to select the other one (it has to be changed, again). The form remembers the first change. Edit: You can click the unchecked radio twice and it will also submit. Usually.I'm not even sure if this should go here or HTML but I think here is the better options since I am, after all, dealing with javascript.

Code:
<table id="..." class="radio">
<tr>

JQuery :: Hide / Show Not Working In Select Onchange - CODE CASEING NIGHTMARE?

Nov 12, 2010

I recently learned that the <option> tags can not use the onclick attribute inside of IE.This works great for firefox, but sadly not a single version of internet explorer supports it (from what I am told via countless Google searches).I have been modifying my attempit at a solution to use the <select> tag with the attribute onchange. Maybe I am casing this wrong, or not seeing a solution as the below code does not operate in any browser, and no errors are reported back through firebug or IE.Excuse my sloopy attempt at {smarty tags} this script is written in a bunch of PHP object->vales and to save space cored the issue down to it's basics.On change of the select box, the value="5-28" is sent to javascript showBox to split the number away from the id_trips and only focus on the locations (the number before the '-' . IF the location matches the switch value then the box should show / hide or value change. The IDs are all correct I just think that there is a ' or a " or something off as I am not a javascript expert.

<code class="php">
//PHP VARIABLES from QUERY sample loop 1

Anything Better Than OnChange - User Changes Information In A Textbox As Appose To What OnChange Does?

Jan 28, 2011

Is there something that will update as soon as the user changes information in a textbox as appose to what onChange does, which is update once the focus has been taken off of the textbox? I am writing a custom cart and I am using AJAX to update the price according to how many they are ordering, I was hoping to have it update the price as soon as the user put in the volume, but it doesnt update until the user clicks somewhere else on the page.

OnChange Without Appending OnChange Directly To Element?

Feb 10, 2010

Can I target the element and base an onChange outside of directly calling it in the element tag?

Due to the nature of my script, the best I can do is wrap a tag around the element.

example of what I am trying to do

Code:

<script>

document.form.field1.onchange = function();

<script>

And if this might work, can I call it in the head or must it come after the element.

One Event Handler Provoking Another

Jul 23, 2005

I'm seeing surprising behavior, consistent across Opera, Firefox, and IE.
An event handler is changing the value of an element, and there is apparently
no Change event being generated for the element. A simple illustration is,
make an INPUT element with an onchange; type in a new value, the Change
event handler is called. But make a button whose Click handler changes the
value, and the Change handler does not get called.

It appears that events are not generated while an event handler is running.
Can this be true?

Event Handler For Enter Key

Aug 11, 2005

How can I interrupt the enter key so it won't trigger unwanted events on my
web page? I have tried this:

var defaultEventHandler = obj.getEvent("onkeydown");

var myEventHandler = function(event){
if(event.keyCode==13){
alert(obj.getProperty("selection/index"));
}
else{
defaultEventHandler.call(this, event);
}
}
obj.setEvent("onkeydown", myEventHandler);

But it won't even enter the function.
