The <select> is with a <form><tr><td>, but I don't see how that would make a
difference. I started using the onchange="return blah-blah-blah(this);" and
that worked so I copied that to the onfocus. What I want to do is to
remember the value of the contents of the <select> before the user changes
it, and compare it to the new value.
I am using mozilla and javascript to change the style background color for my select with onfocus() and back to white with onblur().
When i process onfocus(); i have to click on the select three times to get the popup menu and everything seems slow. No errors are reported in the console however it seems as if the click event is not being processed after the focus event is processed.
I have looked through the groups and it appears as if there is no way for me to force the popup open (expand contents).
I was reading the gecko dom docs; but am not absorbing the solution.
After the user types in the textboxes and press enter (with the cursor still in one of the textboxes), buttonXXX should be pressed by default.(the user is too lazy to take the cursor over to buttonXXX and click).
The problem is the top/left most button (button A) gets pressed which annoys them to death. So I tried to do this.
In the bottonA's onfocus event handle- document.forms[0].elements['buttonXXX'].focus() .
Result: ButtonXXX receives focus alright, but the code for buttonA still executes!
For those who have been using Outlook Express, you must be pretty used to the fact that whenever you focus on the preview section, the header for the preview turns from grey to blue, while the text turns from black to white. Code:
<body> <script type="text/javascript" src="tooltips.js"></script> <p>Use the TAB and Shift-TAB keys to navigate this list.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/" title="Home Page" tabindex="10">Home</a> <ul> <li><a href="/sitemap.php" title="A guide to the areas of this website" tabindex="20">Sitemap</a></li> <li><a href="/preferences.php" title="Change the design scheme and functionality" tabindex="30">Preferences</a></li> <li><a href="/brothercake.php" title="About this site and its webmaster :)" tabindex="40">About brothercake</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>
</body></html>
And this in tooltips.js
// global vars var i, pos, obj, tempObj, tempEle, winSize, extent, scrollHeight;
//toolTip object var toolTip = null; var toolTipParent = null;
2. How to make the "function getKeyValue_h(chr)" work without the submit button? (on pasting in textarea it should automatically give the calculated result in the textbox.)
I'm developing a website where a visistor does not have to use the mouse. All he has to do is use the Tab-key or key-combinations to jump to specific hyperlinks (containing accesskeys). Next, he presses the Enter key to follow the hyperlink.
My question is: is it possible to change color of the hyperlink when a hyperlink get the focus. I do not only want to see the dotted line, I want the hyperlink to lighten up.
I've got a default value of some text in an input element when a page loads. What I'd like to do is have the value disappear when the user clicks in the input field.
I've figured out I can use:
onclick="this.value=''"
This works fine, however if for some reason the user adds his own input, then click somewhere else/clicks back, the text has once again been erased.
So I thought of a function like the following, however it does not work:
function removeinput(x) {
if (x == 'Enter items not on standard list here...') {
x = ''
} }
onclick="removeinput(this.value);"
I've also tried placing this.value inside of single quotes to no avail.
Setting the min to 0 will dispaly all the optins if the user clicks the field a 2nd time. However, i'd like the options to display once the input has focus, or using a button. How can I do that?
I'm trying to use javascript to control a table's td styles. What I want to achieve is to
- apply style A onmouseover - apply style B onmouseout - apply style A onfocus
The problem is that the mouseout event overrides the focus event. Also I'd like each element to stay on the focus state until another element gets clicked.
This is my code:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function HoverStyle(element) { document.getElementById(element).style.backgroundImage = "url(images/arrow1.jpg)";
i'm sure its been thought of before and i'm sure this is just gunna piss off the people who like to tab through their pages, but i just made a little behavior component file that stops any links from gaining focus on your page.
put this is the style section of your page.
<style type="text/css"> a { behavior: url("hidefocus.htc"); } </style>
then put the attached file in the same dir. (hidefocus.htc) this is all it is
Note: since this behavior is stored in an external file, sometimes one instance of link focus can occur before the htc file can be loaded. if anyone has any tips on fixing that i'd like to hear'em.
In my UI framework, I have an event handler - just like many frameworks do. My handler is a static object, and contains methods to take care of things like mouse events, etc. However, upon adding a method to handle onfocus today, I ran into a very odd problem in Firefox. I've put together an example page that generates the error:
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.
I'm working on a JSP application, and wish to define a text-field so that it becomes marked (highligted) when it obtains focus.
I've tried giving the text-field a value when it obtains focus, but the value is not marked. So if i wish to alter the value, I have to manually delete the given 'onFocus' value before I set a new value.
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=test size=30 want this to be highlighted!'">
I'm missing something to highlight the text-field text in the code above.
<input class="search" type="text" value="TEXT YOU WANT" onfocus="if(this.value=='TEXT YOU WANT'){this.value='';} this.className=this.className.replace('defaultText', '');" name="search" />
This works well in all of my applications and does not depreciate in multiple browsers. It is only the search type input, you can include this in any form area to see how it works and set your custom parameters.Upon focusing on the form (E.g. entering text) the "TEXT YOU WANT" will disappear.
I created an image gallery. The way it works, I click on a thumbnail and it displays the image - This works fine. I'm now trying to use onfocus to highlight the thumbnail that I clicked on. It highlights the thumbnail but when I click on a different thumbnail the first one stays focused and the second is focused also. I want it to unfocus if I click on a different thumbnail. Can somebody give me some advice on what I should do? I'm not that great with Javascript but I got this far.
I've just found out that a piece of code is not working as expected in certain browsers - but the way in which it goes wrong is not consistent, so maybe it's something wrong with my code.Oddly enough, it works exactly as I was expecting when viewed in IE.Here's the code...
I have a text input field - a search box. As characters are entered, I use AJAX to retrieve a list of matches from my products table and display them in a simple unordered list below the search box.This works great, until the user clicks one of the matches.Because I have set the onblur event of the search box to hide the autocomplete box, when the search box loses focus as a result of one of the links in the autocomplete box being clicked, the autocomplete box is hidden and the link is not activated.How can I get the links to work, and also have the autocomplete options disappear when the search box loses focus?
I have a page with a textbox that I want to have a message written inside it that will dissapear when the user clicks in the text box and writes something and it will show up again if the user clicks somewhere else but hasn't written anything inside the textbox. So I am using the onfocus event in order to write "Enter your email here" and the onfocus event in order to show the "Enter your email here" message inside the textbox if the user clicks somewhere else in the webpage but has left the textbox blank. If however the user has written, for exampl "jim@yahoo.com", I want this to remain in the textbox.What am I doing wrong?
I'm fairly new to javascript and I'm having the following issue, on Safari, when the user selects the last radio button (the one that should enable an input field) it does nothing and the input field doesn't get available for typing.
Can I please ask your help, here is the relevant code:[URl]..And here is the attached js file for this document:
Code JavaScript: function activaInput() { document.candidaturaOnline.txtOutro.disabled=false; }Â function desactivaInput()
There are many script on the e web that can easily do what I am looking for but they don't teach me anything. I am trying to learn this stuff, and the best way will be to know what each variable is doing, what function is being called when the thumbnail is hover or focus. All I need is to start with a single image, when I hover on the image, a larger image appear.I know how to declare a variable, create a function, how to put these things into everyday projects is what the books never tells you.
