Setting Focus On Load
May 5, 2006Is there a programmatic means to set the focus to a component in a form when
the document loads?
Is there a programmatic means to set the focus to a component in a form when
the document loads?
Currently in my html document I use the onload command inthe body section to
set the focus to a certain field. eg
Is there a way to set the focus to another field in a different frame other
than the one that the current document is in?
In my example, I have a frame called "top" that I would like the focus
setting to whenever a certain document is loaded in the frame "main".
I know this isn't related to generic javascript but I didn't found a
group dedicated to the FCKEditor. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I'm desperately trying to set the focus into a FCKEditor component
(client side). I know that the FCK object exposes a "Focus()" method
(the capital F isn't a spelling mistake). The problem is I don't know
how to bind to this object from my container page (aspx). How can you
reference this object?
I wrote code for a scramble word game and I am trying to set focus everytimge I click on check button..I've got it so it will set focus when I start game, but whenever I put put setFocus() on the onclick of the button it will not work.is there any way the I can have two procedures for onclick.like <input id="inbox" type="text" /><input type="button" value="check" onclick="guess()" "setFocus()"/>I also want to selectall if the word is incorrect not sure how to go about doing this..I did research on this problem, but they all give me examples on applying just one thing to the onclick not two..

controls in each tab. The way it's rendered in html (like grid etc..)
is in table format in tablerows and cells.
On clientside, on form validation in javascript, I would like to set
focus on to one of the tabs
and set the focus to the control on that tab.
I find this (tab) control by looking through all 'td' s and by it's id.
Now that I have "td" control, I would like to set the focus on to this.
Here is what I do. (FindHtmlControlByID method returns the control based on type and id)
firstTab = FindHtmlControlByID('TD','UltraWebTab1td0');
secondTab = FindHtmlControlByID('TD','UltraWebTab1td1');
secondTab.style.visibility = 'visible'
secondTab.focus();
textBox = FindHtmlControlByID('INPUT','uiTextBox1');
textBox.style.visibility = 'visible'
textBox.focus();
textBox.focus() fails with the message it's either not visible or not
enabled or it is a type of control that cannot be focused. If the tab
already had focus, then this works ok.
I would like to know how to set the focus on a radio button (if it is
possible) I tried button[0].focus() but with no luck
The reason that I need to do this is to validate a form. If the user does
not select a radio button I would like my validation code to set the focus
at the first radio button within the pair that was not selected that way
he/she does not have to look for it.
I'm opening a dialog box using the jQuery UI dialog methods, this box will display a form, and I would like to autofocus the first element. I'm also modifying tabindex of the different form fields of this new form in order to make them a lot higher than those of the original page, and thus navigate through the form using only the tab key. The issue is that I can correctly change tabindex values, and correctly focus the first element but pressing tab will not focus the next element in my newly added form but seems to act as I was focusing the first "tabindexable" element of my original page. I also note that manually focusing (ie. clicking) the element cause no problem, new tab index order is respected. Does anyone have a clue where it can came from ? Something seems to be messed up in the tabindex order. Tested on FF3, maybe the browser only update tabindex order on "manual" focus and not when modifying attributes ?

In my fnCustomOnload() function I have tried to bind a focusout event on a particular input and have it call a function callled fnGetRestriction(). The function fnGetRestriction()actually works without errors, I have forced it with the grabfocus.focus (lines 2 and 3)but it is called not being called anytime other than once at the beginning when it is force by lines 2 and 3.. The line that performs the alert() (line 4)works properly all the time. What is wrong with line 5?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere are many ways for setting focus on form fields. I'm actually looking for some code that automatically detects if there is any form on the page & then automatically sets the focus to the first field of the form.
No need of putting Form Name & Field Name in Javascript. Is there any way to do this ???

I am trying to throw in some client-side validation to my php web form. My problem is that only one field is actually getting validated. Here is the code:
Form: onSubmit="return checkForm(this);"
script: function checkForm(form) {
var firstname = document.getElementById("wpFirstName").value;
var lastname = document.getElementById("wpLastName").value;
if (firstname == "") {
document.getElementById("firstNameError").style.display="inline";
document.getElementById("wpFirstName").select();
document.getElementById("wpFirstName").focus();
return false;
}else if (lastname == "") {
document.getElementById("lastNameError").style.display="inline";
document.getElementById("wpLastName").select();
document.getElementById("wpLastName").focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
The if statement evaluating the last name field is the only statement that evaluates to true. It seems the first statment is bypassed. Any ideas? PS. the element with the id lastNameError/firstNameError is in a div tag.

I'm using ColdFusion to handle the login function for users (see login_form.cfm below). Have to click in the username box to be able to start typing. What's the best way to define the focus to be on the username when the page initially loads?
<form method="post">
Username: <input type="Text" name="username"><br>
Password: <input type="Password" name="password"><br>
<input type="Submit" value="Login" name="login">

So I have a working version of a pop up that loads 10 seconds after I open a page. I also have a working version that sets a cookie for when the pop up is closed. However, I need to get a little more functionality with this.
Here is what I have now, the code that makes pop up come up 10 seconds after
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
setTimeout(function(){
jQuery.lightbox("http://mydomain.com/scripts/popup.html?lightbox[width]=650&lightbox[height]=480");
[Code].....
1.) My first task it to combine the two. I still need the popup that comes up after 10 seconds, but I also need the jquery to check if a cookie is set. (I load the jquery cookie plugin for this code)
2.) If there is no cookie and the pop up comes up there are three ways of closing the pop up.
- x button on the top right corner: if this is clicked, a 24 hour cookie should be set
- remind me later link: if this link is clicked, the same 24 hour cookie should be set
- dont show again: if this one is clicked, a longer cookie is set
I have code that lets the user click on a link. When he does that, it calls the .Load function. This loads some HTML (a div and some contents) into a tag. Then it tries to color the left border of the DIV that it loaded. Now the interesting thing is that it does succeed to color that border very briefly - but immediately the color is covered up with black, which is the original color.

This code works fine in Firefox and Opera, I can see that it put focus
on the correct input in IE, but by the time the page has loaded
completely it loses focus.
The first time you enter the page it works fine in IE too, but if you
click a link which gives the input a value after reloading the page the
above happens. Code:
I'm currently making a web application which needs to be fully compatible with iPad. The functions I've implemented so far work perfectly on Firefox, Internet Explorer and other browsers. However, the iPad itself responds a bit different. After a certain action, I want to put focus on a textfield with the help of Javascript. Again, this works perfectly with the normal browser, the iPad browser however seems to be blocking the focus. The reason I'm not posting any code is because it's basically irrelevant. All I do is:

Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives
focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in
the text box, the submit button will be clicked.
The default behaviour of focus() method is displaying the cursor at start of the char(In FF focusOffset is 0(zero) and anchorOffset is 0(zero)). I need to display the focus at end of char after calling focus() method.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus.A simplified version of my problem is:I've defined the function
function two_focus()
{
document.getElementById("two").blur();

Is there a way to set the focus on a form field without using focus()? I use ajax to build the form and if I try to set the focus using focus() an error is generate because of the form hasn't been built by ajax. So, it would be nice if I could set the focus() as I built the form.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm attaching an onfocus event handler to an anchor tag like this:
if(window.attachEvent) anchor_node.attachEvent('onfocus', gotFocus);
if(window.addEventListener) anchor_node.addEventListener('focus',
gotFocus, false);
function gotFocus() {
alert('i got focus');
}
Is there any way to tell the difference between when this anchor is
focused by a user (perhaps by tabbing to it) as opposed to when I
programatically do it via anchor_node.focus()?
When a website is loaded, is there anyway of using Javascript to get the address bar focus and delete the contents?
I'm not sure if there would be restrictions on doing this because of security reasons
Here is what I'm trying to do but the problem is "source.html" is not on a server somewhere. I am running everything locally. $('#container').load(source.html #sourceContent) Is there a way to do this exact thing but with a local file?
