Select Auto Focus	View Content

Let say I typed the word "Red", on input type text, is it possible with Ajax or Javascript to auto focus (highlight) the word "Red" on the select drop down list.
I am looking at the net, but I can't find a code that does that.

<input type="text" />

<select name="">
<option> Blue </option>
<option> Red </option>
<option> Green </option>

Hy ! I have this form:
PHP Code:
<form name = "myform" method = "POST" action = "proba1.php">
        Name:<br /> <input type = "text" name = "name" size = "30" onBlur = "namecheck()" /><br />
        Username:<br /> <input type = "text" name = "username" size = "30" onBlur = "usercheck()" /><br />
        Password:<br /> <input type = "password" name = "password" size = "30" /><br />
        Repeat password:<br /> <input type = "password" name = "password2" size = "30" onBlur = "passcheck()"/><br />
        Email:<br /> <input type = "text" name = "email" size = "30" onBlur = "mailcheck()" /><br /><br />

                                <input type = "reset" name = "reset" value = "Reset" />
                                <input type = "submit" name = "submit" value = "Submit" />

</form>

and a Js file to check it:
PHP Code:
function namecheck()
{
        var name = document.myform.name.value;
                if(name.indexOf(" ") < 0)
                {
                        document.myform.name.focus();
                        document.myform.name.select();
                        alert("Pleaase enter your full name!")
                        return false;
                }
        return true;
}

function usercheck()
{
        var username = document.myform.username.value;
                if(username.length < 6)
                {
                        alert("Username must be at least 6 chars!");
                        document.myform.name.focus();
                        document.myform.name.select();
                        return false;
                }
        return true;
}

function passcheck()
{
        var password = document.myform.password.value;
        var password2 = document.myform.password2.value;
                if(password != password2)
                {
                        alert("The two passwords not identical!")
                }
}

function mailcheck()
{
        var mail = document.myform.email.value;
        var diff = mail.lastIndexOf(".") - mail.indexOf("@");
        var diff2 = mail.length - mail.lastIndexOf(".");
                if(mail.indexOf("@") < 0 || mail.indexOf(".") < 0 || diff < 2 || diff2 > 3)
                {
                        alert("Not a valid email adress!")
                }
}

So when a value is not proper,there should be an alert message,then select and focus on the field.But only the alert works.I can set the select and the focus to any other field from the current one ,but not to the current.(For instance:if the name is not good:document.myform.username.select() works,but :document.myform.name.select() not.)
Can somebody help me?

How Can I Reference Text Box With .focus() .select() ?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi

I'm trying to write a data checking function that after it completes should return the focus to the text box that was checked and highlight everything in it IF the value was unacceptable.

Here is the function:
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
	function chkValidity(numToCheck)
	{
		if (isNaN(numToCheck) == true || numToCheck < 0)
        {
            alert("Please enter a number greater than zero");
			numToCheck.focus()
			numToCheck.select()
			return false
        }   
	}
	</script>

And here are the lines of code that would call the function:
Code:

<input type="text" name="numBedrooms" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

<input type="text" name="areaBedrooms" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

<input type="text" name="numLivAreas" size="2" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

<input type="text" name="areaLivAreas" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

<input type="text" name="numServAreas" size="2" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

<input type="text" name="areaServArea" size="3" maxlength="3" onblur="return chkValidity(this)" />

What I find happens is that the data checking works and the error mesage displays, but the focus does not return to the text box.

Any ideas?

Auto Selected Value Of Select Box

When first loading the page, I want the default select box value to be showing, and change when they select a different value.

It works perfect when I select any value, but it's blank on load. I've attached screenshots showing. How can I get it default selected to show "Please Select a Character Class to view more information."

Code:

<script type = "text/javascript">
function showDetails(which) {
var d = document.getElementById("classDescription");
var s = which.value;
if (s == "Enchantress") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Enchantress</b><br />This character is a magic user. You are weak with attacks, but powerful with magic."}
if (s == "Knight") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Knight</b><br />This character is a physical user. You are powerful with attacks, but weak against magic."}
if (s == "Archer") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Archer</b><br />This character is a unique user. You can attack twice, but can't equip shields."}
if (s == "Thief") {d.innerHTML = "<b>Thief</b><br />This character lurks in the shadows. He is crafty, weak attacks, decent magic."}
if (s == "") {d.innerHTML = "Please Select a Character Class to view more information."}
}

</script>

Code:

Focus, Blur And Return Of Focus After Alert

Similar Tutorials

View Content

Hi

I'm banging my head against this problem and I'd really appreciate some help. I 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
Code:

function two_focus()
        {
            document.getElementById("two").blur();
            
            alert("hello");
        }

then in the body I have the form with two text boxes
Code:

<input id="one" type="text"><input id="two" type="text" onfocus="two_focus();">

When the page is loaded and I click in the second textbox I get the alert, all well and good. I OK the alert box, but when I click on box 1, or anywhere on the page for that matter, the function is called and the alert comes up.

I just don't understand why the focus is being returned to the second box when I click anywhere in the browser window.

Any comments will be gratefully received.

Auto Select Current Day/month In A Dropdown

Hello,

I have this reservation form found on the main page of: http://www.avis.com.lb/
As you can see the current month "August" is selected as the default month and so is the year and day (the day is programmed to jump 2 days ahead for the renting of the car...)

However if you look closely (check the screenshot attached) you'll see that the month "August" is repeated twice and so is the year "2009", the current month is repeated twice. What I wanna do is remove the duplication and just auto select the current month without duplicating it.

I found this code: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Prog..._24229186.html
But it doesn't seem to work with my form, I donno why.

Here is the code of the script both javascript and a little bit of php
PHP Code:
$date = strtotime("+2 day");
                $date2 = date('j',$date);
                 $date4 = strtotime("+5 day");
                $date3 = date('j',$date4);
                if($date3 == 1){
                $nextmonth = strtotime("+1 day");
                $monthid = date('m',$nextmonth);
                }else{
                $nextmonth = strtotime("+0 day");
                $monthid = date('m',$nextmonth);
                }
            if ($monthid==1){
                $year = date("Y") + 1;
            }else{
                $year = date("Y");
            }
              //$pupday = date("j") - 12;
              //$pupday = date("d") + 2;
              //echo $pupday;
              //$returnday = date("d") +5;
              $month = date("F");

Auto Load Javascript File In A Php Page & If Poss Auto Click Botton On External Page.

Hello,

I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible.

I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading:

Code:

<td class="smallDesc"> <a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </td>

The Javascirpt is the Facebook Share button that basically allows users that have Facebook to share the page there currently on in their Facebook status by pressing the button, but if there not logged in it shows the login page, not a problem just continue the script.

The current button i which is what i want to load automatically in the PHP file is located here, to test the functionalilty just click "Share" button in blue..

http://watch-movies-online.anyfilman...-Movie-17.html

To summarise, i would like the above Javascript code to execute automatically upon pageload of this PHP file.. http://www.watch-movies-online.anyfi...p://google.com.

If that could be done, and if this also is possible.. i would like for the "Share" button on the external page that is loaded from the Javascript code above to be clicked automatically so in effect when ever someone visits the PHP page after clicking "Click Here to Watch/Stream 2012 Online For Free" on this page it will automatically load the Facebook Share box, and automatically click the "Share" Button and then close the page if possible, but not required.

Please feel free to ask any questions, i'll be happy to answer.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Jonathan.

Hi

I am opening a child window with the following href.

If it is a completly new window, it is opened and the focus shifts to it,
... but ...

if that href has been clicked on before and the window exists, the focus stays with the parent window and does NOT shift to the child

How can I make the focus shift ?

here is my href:

PHP Code:
echo "<a href='$Ad_detail' rel=\"external\" onclick=\"window.open (this.href, '$Ad_detail', 'height=800,width=960,scrollbars'); return false\" >

I guess I need a "window. ??? focus();" in there somewhere - but I don't know what the ??? should be.

If you can help - many thanks

Is It Possible To Shift Focus To A Particular Div?

Similar Tutorials

View Content

I've got a div named "iframe_container". Inside it are an iframe used to display floor maps and another div named "compass_rose". I have a function that moves compass_rose around the map based on an office number.

Now iframe_container is scrollable, it's only big enough to display about 2/3 of the map at any one time. I designed it that way to properly fit in the sharepoint site it's going in. To help some of our less tech savvy users it would be nice if iframe_container would automatically shift its view to keep the compass_rose visible at all times. Can that be done? Thanks.

<div id="iframe_container" style="width:1000px; height:635px; position: relative; overflow:hidden">

<div id="compass_rose" style="top: 10px; left: 10px; position: absolute; z-index: 2; visibility:hidden;"><img alt="Compass Rose" src="compass_rose_animated2.gif" width="80" height="80" /></div>

<iframe id="viewer" width="1600" height="635" src="front_page2.jpg" marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" name="viewer" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Why Can't Jimmy Focus()?

Similar Tutorials

I've got an older style frameset (3 frame within). Its a user browse/select set. Top frame is controls, middle is headings & sort control, bottom is the scrollable browse data.

This needs a performance solution since it works fine when the browse data is low volume (or the network is blazing fast).

The prob: Once the set is fully loaded the cursor is placed in a text box in the control frame allowing the user to be able to type a search term without having to click in the textbox.

Problem is the cursor doesn't stick in the bottom frame after _all_ that data loads I tried:
Code:

 window.parent.MCABrowseControl.document.getElementById('txtQuickFind').focus()
 alert("after")

no errors of any kind and for a split second the cursor is visible -- and then is gone (the focus appears to revert to the bottom frames first input (a radio button)

I messed with onreadystatechange but couldn't get my fx to fire when the state became "complete". It only fired once when "loading"

Any methods/properties I can use to solve the issue of _waiting_ for all frames to finish before setting the focus(), and have it stay there?

thanks

Trouble With Focus

Similar Tutorials

Hello,

I am researching an issue in a rather big app which displays pdf files in IE window.
The issue is that inside javascript code we call 'window.setTimeout( win.focus() ...)' (for the child window), but it doesn't come into focus every time, seems a bit random when it does and does not come into focus.

At present I wrote a much smaller app + javascript to reproduce the issue, but it does not manifest in same way.
Specifically this is the confusing part:
window.setTimeout( function() {win.focus(); win.moveTo( 200 , 200 ); } , 500 , "JavaScript" );
the 'win' does move, but never comes into focus.

Any ideas about why the focus function does not accomplish what I'm trying to do?

Here's the code of my simplified app + html + javascript:

JAVASCRIPT:
Code:

var win;

function f(s) {
   	website="http://machine/apache/jsfnu/mytest" + s + ".txt";
   	if (!win)
   		win = window.open( website , "thetest" , "toolbar=yes,resizable=yes");
   	else
   	{
   		win.url = website;
   	}
   	win.navigate(website);
   	win.focus();
   	window.setTimeout( function() {win.focus(); win.moveTo( 200 , 200 ); } , 500 , "JavaScript" );
   }
   

function emitApplet() {
document.write("<APPLET CODE=\"mytest.class\" archive=\"mytest.jar,netscape.jar\" NAME=\"myApplet\"  MAYSCRIPT HEIGHT=1000 WIDTH=1000> </APPLET>");
}

function window_onUnload()
{
}

			doButton(--_page);
		}
	}

		JSObject doc = (JSObject) win.getMember("document");

		JSObject loc = (JSObject) doc.getMember("location");
		String s = (String) loc.getMember("href");
		String []args = new String[1];
		args[0] = (new Integer(page)).toString();

     document.console1.input.value = document.console1.input.value+=msg
     document.console1.input.value.focus()
		}

~read that focus() should do it . . . but it doesn't

Thanks!

Focus And Jump

Hi,

I need your help guys. I've got a little problem.

I have some smileys which I enter to a textarea when clicking on them. It works perfect, but once the user clicks on a smiley, the focus goes off of the textfield. I use document.getElementById('message').value += smileycode
It works perfectly, it enters the smileycode to the textarea.

My problem is... When I say document.getElementById('message').focus()
it goes back to where the cursors has last been so before the smileycode.

Instead of this, I want the focus to go back after the insertion of the code.

I hope it's understandable. And thanks in advance!

Hey there,

I have a form which open in a jQuery Fancybox Window.

The fancybox window opens automatically when the page loads. When it loads, I would like it to set focus on the username field in the form in the Fancybox window.

I have found that this must be done when fancybox is envoked, thus I have tried the below code which does not work :

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
   jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    $("#hidden_link").trigger('click');
	document.getElementById('login_form.username').focus(); 
});
</script>

The form name is "login_form" and the field name is "username".

Can anyone help????

Thanks a lot!!!
