Processing Onfocus In Mozilla Seems To Keep My Select From Expanding
Jul 23, 2005
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.
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 have something questions. how can i select element from another page for processing data. ex : #myname.value from content.php and i will process that value to the process.php.
[URL]If you go to that site on Firefox, the "Return Code #" expands. But if you use IE, you'll see that it doesn't.I could add a fix in there for the fields if they were static, but if you see my javascript, they are dynamically loading fields.
I am using a script I found on a jQuery board [URL] and it works for them, but not for me because my syntax is probably wrong. And they also are just using 1 field and not near-unlimited dynamically loading fields like I am.How would I add in a fix to have the browser 'only' use the expansion if the user is using IE6 or IE7?

had this in browsers areas but people told me I should put it here in Javascript because more people here would probably have seen it before and know why it happens. I have basic Javascript that rotates images. I've noticed any kind of Javascript code that rotates images has this same problem only in Mozilla. When the images rotate in Mozilla in between the rotations, Mozilla browser adds a little colored square that represents a blank image that are able to be seen does anyone know why Mozilla Browser adds that? For example when looking at this page in Mozilla can see it. if you know if this is some Mozilla problem with Javascript and images. Doesn't happen with IE and other browsers shows the images only and nothing else.
I've a BIG Problem With a HUGE JS application , i'm modifying its javaScript code to work on both IE/Mozilla , currently it works fine on IE but not on Mozilla.
My main Point now is events.
Lets try with a little module, consider this function :
And it is attached in this place like :
This works fine in IE , i want to modify it to work on Mozilla.
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 would like to use a .css specification, to allow me to stop hard-coding that location in all my files. I can't seem to find the correct .css incantation for this.
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 want to process a form with java script to check values of fields, etc and then have it format that dooment nicely for it's submission. in the book that I have that briefly touches on javascript, it says that newline characters(/r, /n) vary depending on the OS. Is this true? Is there any easy way to get around this without asking what OS they are running?
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.
