JavaScript - How Can I Reference Text Box With .focus() .select() ?
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? Regards Jenny Similar TutorialsHy ! 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? 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> </select> I'm trying to set the contact form on http://gspbuzz.com/test to remove the text when a user clicks it. Any idea how I can accomplish this?
I've been looking for a reference to my situation for two days and i can't find any that are relevant enough. I'm trying to accept text as a URL for an image source. I then display that image in a form with the use of a <button type=button onclick=codeThatGeneratesImage > type thing. Code: function addImageToForm(formID) { //get a reference to the form var formElement = document.getElementById(formID); //get a reference to the element that contains the url var elementWithImageURL = document.getElementbyId("imageURLInput"); //get URL entered var imageURL = elementWithImageURL.getAttribute("value"); //create image element ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- var newImage = document.createElement("img"); //reference the source using the url newImage.setAttribute("src", imageURL); newImage.setAttribute("name", "newImage"); //append the image to form formElement.appendChild(newImage); } i know that the bottom half works because i tried it with just a reference to an image directly and it worked. i can't figure out why most of the top part isnt working. any help would be much appreciated Hello everybody I have a page where I have several input text fields (the number of fields is variable), the input text fields are disable , only the first one is enable, as the user goes filling out the text fields, the next text field becomes available, each time the user fills out an input text field, the form is submitted. As I said, the number of text fields is variable, some times I have only one and other time I can have 7. I would like to create a javaScript function to put the next available text field ready to star writing, without having to click in the text field first. The id of my form is "reports" , the id of the table is,"run_params" and the id of my input texts is "inputp". I am using JSF, the HTML output generated for each field is id="reports:run_params:1:input" , the number 1 indicated that is the first input text, this number can go from 1 to 20. I have tried to create a code where I can read how many input fields I have and then create a loop that checks all of them and search for the field that is enable and empty, and put that field on focus. But so far my code doesn't work. I don't have too much experience with javaScript and I already have tried many different ideas, without success, I have not idea how to achieve this objective, because I don't know very well javascript's capabilities, so I don't know what it is possible and what it is not. Any help????!!! Thanks in advance I tried to create a new text input once the last text box gets focus. But I cant even type in them because every time it gets focus a new text input is created! I really dunno what to do. Code: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function getTB(field) { var i = document.getElementById("f1").length + 1; var cmd = "<input type=text name = "+ i + " onfocus=getTB() value = " + i + ">"; document.getElementById('f1').innerHTML = document.getElementById('f1').innerHTML + cmd; document.getElementById(i-2).focus(); } </script> </head> <body> <form id ="f1"> <input type ="text" value ="hello" name="1" onFocus ="getTB(this)"> </form> </body> </html> how to modify so not every time a new text input created when tried to type in? I am running some javascript code which generates a popup window associated with a spell checking program. The way the program works, is that it takes the text out of a text field (passed as an object), spell checks the string, then puts it back into the text area field. My text area is located within a flash form, and I am having trouble pointing to it. I am sure my spell checking program is working, as it works fine if I point to an html text area. Do I have to do something special to point to a flash form object? Here is my code: Code: <!--- Source the JavaScript spellChecker object ---> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../Spellchecking/spellerpages-0.5.1/speller/spellChecker.js"> </script> <!--- Call a function like this to handle the spell check command ---> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function openSpellChecker() { // get the textarea we're going to check <!--- pointer to text area ---> var txt = window.activity.Summary; // give the spellChecker object a reference to our textarea // pass any number of text objects as arguments to the constructor: var speller = new spellChecker( txt ); // kick it off speller.openChecker(); } </script> Also, here is my text area: Code: <cfform format="flash" id="activity1" height="#formheight#" width="100%" style="#formstyle#" timeout="3600" wmode="transparent" name="activity" onLoad="#initVars#; onFormLoad();"> <cftextarea name="Summary" id="Summary" html="yes" maxlength="1000" tooltip="Summarize your entry here. The field has a 1000 character limit. This summary is included in the generated End of the Week reports." onChange="submitTemporary('Summary', Summary.text);requiredContent('summary');" onFocus="if(detailsBox.height>60){detailsBox.height=60;summaryBox.height=220;}"></cftextarea> </cfform> Any help on this issue would be much appreciated. Thanks, AeroNicko Hi, I am trying to implement something like a javascript that can click and focus the Status Update Box on Facebook. Till now, I have nothing in hand that can perform the task so I thought about a javascript that can do it. I am not even a newbie to javascript but I know that it can perform various complicated tasks on client side. Can anyone here tell me how do I click the Status Update box and set it to focused by a javascript so that when I start typing the Status box receive the text ? Thanks 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. Hey guys.....

I have been studying php for a while now and i know that, i am now starting php oop and that going well but i have never done anything like this. Anway i am creating a booking system which at the end of the process asks who supplied your voucher which they then select a supplier. The issue i have is my client wants it so if groupon is selected then an input text box should appear so that the user can input a security code from groupon. So basically it is Code: <select name="supplier" id="supplier"> <option value="">please select supplier</option> <option value="Groupon">Groupon</option> <option value="KGB Deals">KGB Deals</option> <option value="Other">Other</option> </select> So if value="Groupon" then Code: <input type="text" name="security" id="security" /> should appear next to it. Could someone please help me as the page cant refresh as it will lose its data which would have taken the user about 10 minutes to fill out Thanks in advance hi ! i would like to write the code for multiple text box select as shown in the link below: http://www.downloadplex.com/Mobile/I...ne_284120.html please see the screen shot 3 I have a web page created using plsql web toolkit. I want to set the text box values for street line 2 and zip based on user selection in select drop down which is street line 1.
