I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked.
The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour,
however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12
(linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror....
I'm trying to create a control which when the mouse button gets pressed on one div an absolute positioned div pops up in place of the cursor. From there the cursor should interact with the dialog before the mouse button is released. In other words one element will catch onmousedown, display the popup, and the popup element will catch onmouseup. This works fine in IE as the popup automatically accepts following events, but my problem is in Firefox.
In Firefox everything behind the popup still receive events even though they can't be seen (hidden by the popup). I have to release the mouse button and then click on the popup again before it accepts the onmouseup event.
I also used a different cursor on the popup to see if Firefox recognized it was there at all. Still the cursor doesn't change until I release themouse button and move the cursor across the popup element.
I've tried focus/blur, timeout delays, hiding the first element (the one which receives onmousedown) but nothing works.
The only thing that works is hiding the entire body and then using setTimeout to show the entire body again 1ms later. Obviously though that is very ugly.
i have placed some image indide a i frame which i created dynamically .when i do mouse wheel above it it goes up nad dow i want to stop and happened only in firefox.
I have a page where it accesses the same popup a couple times. When I click 'Help' it opens the popup then goes to the section. But, if i go back to the other page, and click another link to the popup which goes to another section, it doesn't re-focus on the popup window.
The sections are accessed by the '#SECTION' link...
Code:
<a href="javascript:helppage('help.htm#Section','title');">Help</a> How can I focus on it when it goes to a new section when the popup is already open?
I have this ads on my webpage that popup whenever you go somewhere (obviously prett annoying ). So my question is: how can I make so the previous window I was at gets focus and the popup doesnt. My thoughts was on making it with the onLoad function after you popup the popup but its stops there.
when a popup window appear, can I force users to focus on the popup window "ONLY" that mean, if users don't close the popup window, they can't do anything to other ie window (include close the opener window...etc)
The crux of the problem is I only know if the popup *has been* opened, but not if it *is* open. Therefore, the script doesn't know whether to simply refocus, or whether to popup a fresh window.
Are these the only solutions? * handle onerror in some creative way * hidden frames
BTW, I do have the luxury of ignoring non IE 5.5+ browsers on this project..
I have an input element on a form. When I open a popup form and then close it, I try to put the focus back on my input element by using the focus() method. However, that fails and it doesn't get focus.When I press tab to get out of this input element, it takes several tries for it to get the tab event (since it wasn't focused, but how come it suddenly gets focus to respond later?)
I am working on a ASP.NET application and have some forms that require to be popped up and let the user edit information on them. These windows must stay in focus until closed, but I have having some issues implementing this.
We are targeting IE explorers and have tried the showModal() which is exactly what we require (as it forces the user to the window till complete) but the page cannot refresh/postback which is what we need.
I also tried the on blur = self.focus() but that doesnt work either as when I user clicks the textbox on that popup to update a datagrid the focus is taken off the textbox and to the window again.
What I'm trying to achieve it a popup window that has focus until complete and allows the window to refresh as it requires use to update & delete a datagrid. Any ideas?
I am using a standard html <form> to send data to a pop up calculating somthing. I want all coming requests to go to the same window.
Quite easy with forms since we have the target attribute, thus target="calculating_window".
However future <form> submitted entries will appear in the "calculating_window" window, but keep behind the current active window (with the <form> formular). The user therefore cannot see new entries beeing calculated.
I tried working with a OnClick thing with the submit button and javascript focus(), but i just can't get i to work. Any suggestions?
I have a parent page that opens a popup (chat) i wont that where someone send a msg to a user the popup to get focused.
I have a function on popup window that runs everytime a user get msg I put "self.focus()" on that function and this work fine in IE but not in Firefox.
I've got this hidden div that pops up using jQuery when the login menu item is clicked. <div class="entry-wrapper" id="reg-login" style="display:none;"> <div class="t"></div> <div id="loginFormHolder" class="c"> <div class="close"> <a href="index.php" class="spotlight-close"> </a> </div> <!-- close --> <div class="login"> <div> <!-- blank --> ..... What I'm trying to do is setting the input focus on the user_session_username text input and the code is not working. The div pops up but the focus is never put into the user_session_username edit field.
I have an html button that calls & open another browser window on the onmouseup event, but once I close the popup new browser window my button has focus & is like selected.
I want it not to be selected or clicked or has focus, how do i loose the focus after close of popup window?
I have a scrolling div that I am changing text color and background color on a mouse over of a marker on a map. I also want the div with the proper ID to come to the viewable area of the scrolling div when I mouse over the marker on the map. Code:
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.
When setting the tabIndex property for an element, Firefox also displays, like IE, a dotted rectangle around the focussed element. With IE you can set hideFocus=true, which does not work with Firefox.
There are 3 graphics (top left of page) which open a linked page in a pop up window; each popup comes into focus the first time it's opened - clicking on the same graphics again doesn't bring the already opened popups back into focus.I had originally sized each popup as 320x430px in the body at each of the 3 references to the linked pages, but discovered that (in FF portable 3.65.13) the popups all opened full-size windows. In an attempt to resolve this I removed the size info from each of these 3 page references (lines 84, 89, 94) and moved it to the head (line 67) which seems to have resolved the size issue, but works only when I specify the popup to be any size except the original size of 320x430 (e.g. 320x431; I have now settled for 321x431)
I have a frame set (as per MS FrontPage 2000). It has a contents and a main frame. The contents frame has a menu bar written with with javascript (in the context of a table). In IE6.1 everything works fine as it also does in firefox if I call the contents frame directly (i.e. outside of its frameset). However, if I call my main page (index.html) which invokes the frame set, the contents frame javascript menubar onmouseover function doesn't seem to work though if I reload the contents frame directly it then does. Code:
I know there are some issues trying to use .focus() and .select() within another.eventhandler (for the same object) in firefox. What I don't know is, howto workaround?
I am trying to reuse a popup in my application. The reused popup also opens another popup. From this final popup I then try and reference a function located in the window that origionally opened the reused popup. This works fine in IE but doesn't in FireFox. Looking at the code through the Javascript debugger in FireFox it tells me that the reused popup's opener is closed even though it is still open. Is this a bug with FireFox or just bad practice?
I'm currently promoting a website that requires internet explorer. I have been showing a page that tells non-IE users (mainly Firefox users) to switch to IE in order to view the page.However instead I want it so that if the current browser is not Internet Explorer it loads the website in Internet Explorer (basically a popup that is in Internet Explorer, and not in whatever browser the user is using).
I have a portfolio page on our company site that functions properly on Mac, but not in Windows. The page is here, but I warn you it will possibly freeze IE if you click it. I include it for reference. code...
In IE, the first thumbnail (of 32) will display and then the page generally locks.
I believe the javascript that governs the popups may be the culprit, but I only know enough to be dangerous and need an assist as this site is already live and that was my screwup. code...
I am triggering a Javascript based popup in which I want the URL location box hidden. I can get it to work fine in IE (I am using IE8) but the location URL box always shows in Firefox (I am using FF3.5). The code I currently have is below...
Code JavaScript: var win1 = newWindow('{0}', null, 700, 'location=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=1', 300);
Is what I want to achieve not possible in FF based browsers?
I need help with resizing a popup window in firefox. Currently, I use a JS script to open a popup window, and then resize the window to the size of the image. It works perfectly in IE, but not as well in Firefox.
Funny thing is it does work as expected with some images. The code is identical for every image I use this for, so I cannot figure out why it is not resizing correctly. Code:
I adjusted a javascript code which was a clickable popup to an autoloading popup. Basicly when someone visits the page I want the popup to appear. It's working fine but Firefox doesn't display the popup on page load, only when clicked. (newsletter signup) Im just starting out on JavaScript.
here's the code
Code:
var rel = popuprel3; // Here we will describe a variable popupid which gets the // rel attribute from the clicked link var popupid = $(this).attr('rel');
