JavaScript - How To Emulate Keypress On Mouse Click?
I've spent days searching without luck.
I need help with the following: I have a program that have some hotkeys set to trigger some events. I would like to activate those hotkeys from inside firefox by clicking on a button. I'm not looking for keypress events, it has to be a button click. So, let's say I click on the button that executes a javascript code that emulates F7 or CTRL+A or whatever key or key combination. Can you guys please help with to find a solution? Oh, and I need it to work with Firefox only. Thanks! Similar TutorialsHey CodingFourm-ites! Ive scoured the internet for scripts that make a <div> follow the mouse, and have found one that seems to work well. However, I want the <div> to stop moving when the CTRL or the SHIFT key is pressed, I dont care which. Hopefully, I can have a div that follows the mouse at an offset that contains some click-able items, so a menu is always by your mouse. Ive tried now more than a few times to put together a piece of code that can achieve this, but none have worked. Can somebody write a script that can achieve this, or point me in the right direction? Thanks guys! Current JS for mouse follow: Code: var divName = 'mouseFollow'; // div that is to follow the mouse // (must be position:absolute) var offX = 15; // X offset from mouse position var offY = 15; // Y offset from mouse position function mouseX(evt) {if (!evt) evt = window.event; if (evt.pageX) return evt.pageX; else if (evt.clientX)return evt.clientX + (document.documentElement.scrollLeft ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft : document.body.scrollLeft); else return 0;} function mouseY(evt) {if (!evt) evt = window.event; if (evt.pageY) return evt.pageY; else if (evt.clientY)return evt.clientY + (document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop); else return 0;} function follow(evt) {if (document.getElementById) {var obj = document.getElementById(divName).style; obj.visibility = 'visible'; obj.left = (parseInt(mouseX(evt))+offX) + 'px'; obj.top = (parseInt(mouseY(evt))+offY) + 'px';}} document.onmousemove = follow; The original code can be found at: http://javascript.about.com/library/blfollow2.htm How do I emulate a click event? I have read that it might be possible with createEvent and click(). Any help would be appreciated. I am working on implementing a gallery into my website with categories that collapse/expand the set of images within those categories. i figured out mostly everything i need except i can't get the BUTTONS to behave the way that I want. I'm working with the following images: arrow1: arrow2: arrow3: in general, I want "arrow1" to change to "arrow2" whenever you hover a mouse over it, and back to "arrow1" when the mouse is moves away. (which is simple by itself) the complicated part that I can't figure out, is what happens when you CLICK the button. I want the image to change to "arrow3" when it is clicked (because the content expands), and to STAY at that image until it's clicked again, at which point it should behave as what I started with. The problem is, I can get the arrow to change on click no problem, but once the mouse is moved away, the "onMouseOut" effect changes it back to "arrow1". this is the code I'm working with, hope someone can help Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript"> <!-- first=new Image first.src="http://www.clearnonsense.com/images/arrow1.png" second=new Image second.src="http://www.clearnonsense.com/images/arrow2.png" // --></SCRIPT> </HEAD> <table border="0"> <tr> <td> <a href="javascript:void(0)" OnMouseOut="monitor.src=first.src" OnMouseOver="monitor.src=second.src" onMouseUp="clickdown('pic1')"><img src="http://www.clearnonsense.com/images/arrow1.png" border="0" name="monitor" onclick="showhide('div1',this,'http://www.clearnonsense.com/images/arrow1.png','http://www.clearnonsense.com/images/arrow3.png');"/></a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="15"> <div id="div1" style="display: none;">imgset1</div> </td> </tr> </table> In a <textarea ..., the user can do this: 1) copy some text from somewhere; 2) right-mouse click on the textarea, from the floating menu, select the Paste, the text is pasted in the textarea. How can I detect the action of the Paste menuitem being clicked (on IE and Firefox, respectively)? Thanks Scott Hey guys! How can i simulate a click event?

I need a new pair of eyes to point it out for me. background: trying to code a mouseover link for a nav bar. everything is working( hyperlink, normal image shows up) but when i mouse over the image swap doesn't happen. I have 2 parts of code. 1st preloads images and does the swap function. loads in <head> See below: Code: <SCRIPT language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> if (document.images) { /* preload images */ var subcontractorsOn = new Image (); subcontractorsOn.scr = "subcontractorsOn.gif"; var subcontractorsOff = new Image (); subcontractorsOff.scr = "subcontractorsOff.gif"; } function mouseOn (imgName) { if (document.images) document [imgName].scr = eval (imgName + "On.scr"); } function mouseOff (imgName) { if (document.images) document [imgName].scr = eval (imgName + "Off.scr"); } </SCRIPT> 2nd just calls the functions to preform the swap. this is in the <body> see code below Code: <a href="subcontractors.htm" onMouseOut="mouseOn('subcontractors')" onMouseOver="mouseOff('subcontractors')"> <img src="subcontractorsOff.gif" height="40" width="133" name="subcontractors" id="subcontractors" border="0" alt="subcontractors"></a> any insight would be great. regards, Fatmann66 Hi, I would like to increase my table row when users hit enter.

Hi How I can simulate keypress in google chrome. I want to press a button to fire keypress event to print "X" in input box. I am doing a program to teach pre-schoolers on how to use the keyboard. If there any possible if I press the arrow up key, It will then show a excellent swf, that I have make. if wrong if will come out try again swf using javascript. please help me. im stuck. On http://kisa.ca/cc/ I'm using JQuery's .keydown() to grab arrow keys. http://pastie.org/938572 But my friends using Linux are unable to use arrows to play the game: http://alteeve.com/files/cc.png Halp? On my site we have image galleries that pop up over top of the page in a higher z-index and position:fixed, and another div between the gallery and background with opacity set to about 85%. The image gallery div has a close button, and I was asked to make the gallery also close by pressing ESC, so I added this: igevt=function(evt){checkclosegal(evt)} window.addEventListener('keypress',igevt, false) and checkclosegal: function checkclosegal(evt) { if(evt.keyCode==27) { closebgeagal() window.removeEventListener('keypress',igevt, false) } } This works perfectly in Firefox and Opera, but Chrome and Safari don't fire the event (not worried about ie right now - I know it uses attachEvent). Could it have something to do with the gallery being in a higher z-index? Please help, thanks! I need to assign a key in the javascript to actually make the javascript work,.

Well my site breaks if they double click it... is there a script I can use that won't let my functions run more then once every so many seconds? to avoid double clicking errors? Hey guys just need a little help. I need to create a little script that clicks a link automatically and opens it up in a new page. So far I have this: Code: <head> <script> function autoClick(){ document.getElementById('linkToClick').click(); } </head> <body onload="setTimeout('autoClick();',3000);"> <a id="linkToClick" href="http://www.google.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">GOOGLE</a> </body> It works but the problem is that IE popup blocker keeps blocking the new window. Is there a way to do the same thing with javascript without it having blocked by IE popup blocker? |
