JavaScript - Focus, Blur And Return Of Focus After Alert
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. Similar TutorialsHave a jsp page with 10 editable fields and in last Add Button.Now when user edit a field from value 10 to 20(example)and click on Add .Value will be changed and focus will return to the same field.similarly for other fields.how to to .any code sample?
Hi all, Please keep in mind: this is the first code I have ever written -- much of it with help from this forum and the skeleton from other corners of the JS community. Thanks! But now for the problem... I'm developing am income tax calculator, and everything is going swell. Currently the user can type in their adjusted gross income (AGI), hit submit, and learn the amount of income tax they would pay, their tax rate, and their income after tax. I've played around with the events to get the submit button to work in FF, IE, Chrome and Safari -- and I've gotten the enter button to work before with some stock code, but here's the catch: when the user presses enter, i want the focus to leave the input box. I don't care where it goes (submit button, I suppose?) but i need it to leave the input field so the onfocus="clearText(this);" event can fire when they return to type in a new income. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function TotalGrossPerYear() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { if ((Calc.AGI.value > 500000)) { Bracket3(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value > 200000 ) && (Calc.AGI.value <= 500000)) { Bracket1(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value <= 200000)) { Bracket2(); } } else if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { if ((Calc.AGI.value > 1000000)) { Bracket3(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value > 400000 ) && (Calc.AGI.value <= 1000000)) { Bracket1(); } if ((Calc.AGI.value <= 400000)) { Bracket2(); } } } function Bracket1() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 200000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 400000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * .05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Bracket2() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = 0 ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = 0 ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) * 0.05)) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Bracket3() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 200000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) - 300000) * 0.09) + (300000 * 0.05) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } else { if (Calc.InputRad[1].checked) { Calc.TaxableIncome.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - 400000) ; Calc.AmtDue.value = Math.round((parseFloat(Calc.TaxableIncome.value) - 600000) * .09) + (600000 * 0.05) ; Calc.AmtLeft.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) - parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value)) ; Calc.TaxRate.value = (parseFloat(Calc.AmtDue.value) / parseFloat(Calc.AGI.value) * 100).toFixed(2) + " %"; } } } function Couple() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; Calc.AGI.value = ""; Calc.TaxableIncome.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtDue.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtLeft.value = "--------"; Calc.TaxRate.value = "--------"; } function Individual() { var Calc = document.NetIncome; Calc.AGI.value = ""; Calc.TaxableIncome.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtDue.value = "--------"; Calc.AmtLeft.value = "--------"; Calc.TaxRate.value = "--------"; } function clearText(thefield){ if (thefield.value==thefield.value) thefield.value = "" } </script> </head> and the html...

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() { } JAVA code: Code: import netscape.javascript.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class mytest extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener { Button nextButton; Button prevButton; int _page=1; public void init() { System.err.println("init started"); setLayout(new FlowLayout()); System.err.println("setLayout done"); nextButton = new Button("Next!"); System.err.println("next button created"); prevButton = new Button("Prev!"); System.err.println("prev button created"); add(prevButton); System.err.println("prev button added"); add(nextButton); System.err.println("next button added"); nextButton.addActionListener(this); System.err.println("next button action"); prevButton.addActionListener(this); System.err.println("prev button created"); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) { if (evt.getSource() == nextButton) { doButton(++_page); } else if (evt.getSource() == prevButton) { doButton(--_page); } } public void doButton(int page) { JSObject win = JSObject.getWindow(this); 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(); win.call("f", args); } public void paint (java.awt.Graphics g) { g.drawString("Hello, World9!",50,25); } } HTML: Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="StartTest.js"> </script> <html> <head> <title>try</title> </head> <body bgcolor="#fdf8ed" text="black" language="Javascript" onload="window_onUnload()"> <center> <script type="text/javascript"> emitApplet(); </script> </center> </body> </html> 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 (sorry for the noobiness) Is there a way to focus on the most recent input to a text area (say after 50 inputs) without having to manually scroll down?? Code: function console(msg){ 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! 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 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! 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> </div> Hello, I have a search textbox field which populates the results in a dropdown after searched. But there is no way, to let users to explain to click or use the dropdown to see the results.. thus, I would like to have a focus on the dropdown, so after the user searches through the search textfield, and enter, the dropdown gets the focus so it will user friendly. can anyone help me on this. thank you in advance 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? Is there a way to give an input or textarea field the focus and set the focus to begin right at the end of the current text in the field?

ThanksIn advance. Hi, Because I'm using an asp script to submit this form, I cannot do a validation on the submit and so have chosen to do the validation with the onblur and the onmouseout functions. The validation works well for the checking the first input, id CommenterName. If it's blank, the alert displays and then the cursor is moved to the email check. When the alert is dismissed the focus returns to the first input, but, and this is the problem, returning to the first input, triggers the second alert. How do I return the focus to the first field without triggering the next alert? Changing the order of the inputs in not an option. Code: function checkCompletitionName(){ if (document.getElementById("CommenterName").value.length == 0) { document.getElementById("CommenterName").style.backgroundColor = "#efefef"; alert("Please type your name."); document.getElementById("CommenterName").focus(); return; } else { document.getElementById("CommenterName").style.backgroundColor = "white"; } } function checkCompletitionEmail(){ if (document.getElementById("Email").value.length == 0 || (document.getElementById("Email").value.search("@") == -1 || document.getElementById("Email").value.search("[.*]") == -1)) { document.getElementById("Email").style.backgroundColor = "#efefef"; alert("Please check the email address for errors."); return; } else { document.getElementById("Email").style.backgroundColor = "white"; } } function checkCompletitionComment(){ if (document.getElementById("Comment").value.length == 0) { document.getElementById("Comment").style.backgroundColor = "#efefef"; alert("Please type your comment."); return; document.getElementById("Comment").focus(); } else { document.getElementById("Comment").style.backgroundColor = "white"; } } the HTML code: Code: <form name="form1" method="get" action="/asp/formmail.asp"> <p> <label class="labelContact">Select Category:</label> <select class="inputContact" name="category" id="category"> <option selected="selected" value="support" id="support">Support</option> <option value="sales" id="sales">Sales</option> <option value="other" id="other">Other</option> </select> </p> <p> <label class="labelContact" for="CommenterName">Name <span class="redasterisk">*</span>:</label> <input size="42" class="inputContact" name="nameCommenter" id="CommenterName" onblur="checkCompletitionName()" type="text" /> </p> <p> <label class="labelContact" for="Email">Email Address<span class="redasterisk"> *</span>:</label> <input size="42" class="inputContact" name="email_address" id="Email" onblur="checkCompletitionEmail()" type="text" /> </p> <p> <label class="labelContact" for="Phone">Phone Number:</label> <input id="phoneAreaCode" class="inputContact" onKeyUp="return autoTab(this, 3, event);" size="4" maxlength="3" /> - <input id="phonePrefix" onKeyUp="return autoTab(this, 3, event);" size="4" maxlength="3" /> - <input id="phoneLastFour" onKeyUp="return autoTab(this, 4, event);" size="5" maxlength="4" /> </p> <p> <label class="labelContact" for="RegistrationNo">Registration Number:</label> <input size="42" class="inputContact" name="registration" id="RegistrationNo" type="text" /> </p> <p> <label class="labelContact" for="CompanyName">Company Name:</label> <input size="42" class="inputContact" name="company_name" id="CompanyName" type="text" /> </p> <p>Comments <span class="redasterisk">*</span>:</p> <p><textarea rows="5" cols="58" name="comment" id="Comment" onmouseout="checkCompletitionComment()"></textarea></p> thank you for your help function MyPopUpWin(message) { var iMyWidth; var iMyHeight; //half the screen width minus half the new window width (plus 5 pixel borders). iMyWidth = (window.screen.width/2) - (75 + 10); //half the screen height minus half the new window height (plus title and status bars). iMyHeight = (window.screen.height/2) - (100 + 50); //Open the window. var generator = window.open(); generator.focus(); document.onmousedown = focusPopup; document.onkeyup = focusPopup; document.onmousemove = focusPopup; generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Pop uP</title>'); generator.document.write('<p style="color:#C52B27;">'); generator.document.write(message); generator.document.write('</p>'); generator.document.write('</head><body>'); generator.document.write('<a href="javascript:self.close()"><img src="/img/save_orange.gif" border=0"> <\/a>'); generator.document.write('</body></html>'); generator.document.close(); } function focusPopup(){ if(generator && !generator.closed) { generator.focus(); } } 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.

You select a check box which then shows a marker on the map. My issue is, when you select and the marker is placed, I need the map to focus to that point, it currently embeds but doesn't focus. Is there a particular function I could use to achieve this? My current code is shown below: Code: var locations = [ // Longitude, Latitue, Content, Country Code, City Name [51.481383, -3.114967, holidayOverlay, 'UK', 'Cardiff'], [52.362393, 4.893379, holidayOverlay, 'NL', 'Amsterdam'], [48.852314, 2.350089, holidayOverlay, 'FR', 'Paris'], [40.18884, -3.716812, holidayOverlay, 'SP', 'Madrid'], [53.800651, -4.064941, holidayOverlay, 'IT', 'Rome'], [42.041134, 1.889648, holidayOverlay, 'SP', 'Costa Brava'], [36.79334, 27.234421, holidayOverlay, 'GR', 'Kos'], [37.014581, -7.933888, holidayOverlay, 'PT', 'Algarve'], [28.358776, -14.05426, holidayOverlay, 'PT', 'Fuerteventura'], [29.046854, -13.589973, holidayOverlay, 'SP', 'Lanzarote'], ]; // Only create marker when checked for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) { if (locations[i][4] == location) { var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][0], locations[i][1]), map: map, icon: plotImage }); var title = locations[i][4]; var content = locations[i][2]; } } I have left a lot of the code out to save you a headache. Thanks. Hi, does 'focus' method show a 'stable' result? i call this method on a node -- if this one is not absolutely positioned -- it seems nothing happens so ① does this method only apply to absolutely positioned element? also, in FF, aNode.focus() has no effect whereas in IE document will scroll until that node is visible if the node is partially invisible at the bottom. ②is this a bug in FF? here is the code Code: <div style="position:absolute; left:50px; top: 700px" onclick="this.focus();"> yepsfagadgre<br />agefderdsf<br />agefderdsf<br />agefderdsf</div> scroll the document until the text is half-visible at the bottom. click on it -- in IE it will scroll up while in FF nothing happens besides, if it is not absolutely positioned, nothing happens either~~~ thx in advance |
