I have need of a readonly select element that looks and acts disabled to
the user. The problem with the disabled attribute is that the value
isn't passed to the handler, so I'm using readonly. Problem with
readonly is that is allows focus, which when the user highlights, then
hits backspace (as if to change the field), the browser does a
history.back. This is confusing to users. Code:
I'm having an issue making a <select> box read only. Disabled works in that it greys it out and prevents the user from changing the value, but it also doesn't submit the value to the server (as expected). On regular inputs the readonly attribute seems to work but when applying readonly to a select, it changes nothing. It doesn't grey out the element and I can still change the value. I've done a bit of searching but can't find anything for IE6. This is for an intranet where the target is 100% IE6 so I don't care if it doesn't work in other browsers. It must be IE6 ...
On page load it will evaluate this drop-down and repopulate it determined on their values. If there is an S in any of the values the drop-down will generate an option for 'S' like so.. <option value="s">S Option Text</option> And for the first code example in this post - the Javascript would be able to repopulate the drop-down with the following:
I'm having some problems understanding the append() function. What I'd like to do is select an element using it's ID and add a row to the table with a HTML form element. The table is dynamically generated using a Django template ( form.as_table() ) so I'm not able to alter the original HTML markup too much.
I am stuck with a problem trying to mimic the behavior of a Windows Forms Readonly textbox in HMTL/ASP.NET.
Basically, I would like the text to be readonly and overflow the textbox (overflow attribute) with the user being able to scroll thru the text using the arrow keys within the textbox.
I managed to get the readonly and the overflow part to work but cannot figure out a way to let the user place the cursor within the box and allow scrolling within a readonly textbox.
In FF, this works as I would expect. When clicking on the input, the readOnly property is set to false and the focus is given to the element, with the cursor placed after the last character.
In IE, the readOnly property is set to false, but the element isn't actually given focus. Instead, I have to click on the input a second time in order to actually input text with the keyboard.
Is there a way to make this work the same in IE as it does in FF? I have tried things like calling this.focus() and this.click() after setting readOnly to false, but they have no effect.
In my asp page, I have a dropdown box and 2 textbox. The dropdown has "select" as the first value. If value is select in the dropdown, i want to make the textbox as readonly, else it can be used for inputting.
I tried this:
Code:
function OnChange(dropdown) { var myindex = dropdown.selectedIndex; var SelValue = dropdown.options[myindex].value;
[Code].....
But, I am not able to set to readonly. How to make textbox readonly on the select change and body onload?
When accessing my web page I build up the javascript and html dynamically. Depending on an parameter I want to set all the fields (input tags) readonly. How do I do this? Of course I can write if statements to add different input tags with and without the readonly attribute. But is it possible to write a javascript that onload search the page and add readonly to all input tags?
I'm not sure why I'm having problems with this but if I try to retrieve the value of a readonly text form I get back that the object is undefined.
The reason the text is readonly is because it's a date which I set via a calendar javascript program (associated with a button) only so the user can't put something silly in requiring validation.
The form send the data correctly when submitted it just doesn't seem to be able to be read.
This code works fine for IE8, IE9, and Chrome. But not for IE7. I have tried jQuery versions upto 1.6.1. Is there something wrong with jQuery in this case? Do I have to resort back to classical JavaScript for IE7, which you know, is a difficult task to do.
On blur of field1, field2 is set to READONLY but the cursor on my page then defaults to field2 and the cursor is at the END of the value and when the user clicks the backspace button the value can be erased. I would like the ability to have the cursor move to the next NON-READONLY or ENABLED field on the page. Is that do-able with jQuery?
Folks, I'm no real coder however I am the "IT" guy for a non-profit. We have a registration form in which we have a few readonly fields that are numerically auto-populated by input into other fields. We need to total those readonly fields and though the function we have works(if we allow input and use the onkeyup event,) we can't find an event that will work with readonly fields. So, is there a means to trigger the function when readonly fields are auto-populated?
In my program, I have GMap logic that outputs location information to a disabled input field (was previously a label). Then, when a user clicks on a link (to start a new map), I want to save the location data to an array prior to server processing. So, onchange, save the input field's value to array[last_click]. But, because this field is hidden (or readonly) I am not sure how to go about this.
This is probably noobalicious so apologies, i have a checkbox i am checking on and off and then setting a readonly input with a value depending upon if it is checked on/off
This works fine for one click on or off but then how do i get back out of the function once this cycle has been done once? Set something to null?
On a SELECT object, I try to set it's value with one of the value of options, such as selectObj.value="whatever". Sometime it works while sometimes it won't work at all , using IE6. When we want to set a value to the SELECT object, have to know it's option index first. Then set selectedIndex to that index. Is there a quick way to set a select value with a known value?
I a have a div on my page that is absolutely positioned and it's z-index is 1000. Although it's z-index is the biggest on the page it appears behind the select elements on the page. How can I make a div appear on top of everything on the page?
What is a cross-browser way to get the size (number of visible items) of a SELECT element? If that is not possible, how would I determine if the element was of a MULTIPLE type or not?
I have a javascript tool in which I can supply a listener function, which has the parameter 'div', which is a dom element. Now I would like to apply $('a.enlargement').fancyzoom({Speed:0,showoverlay:true}); to that div, but I only have the reference. I know about the 'find' function, but that can only be run on a selection object. So how can I do this?
