JavaScript - How To Focus On A Child Window In Opera
I have a web page which lists and displays all the characters for which a Named Entity code exists, with coding details etc..
Some of these characters are quite obscure and the reader will only be able to see them if they have a suitable Unicode font on their own PC/browser. If not, they will just see placeholder squares. For these obscure characters, I've set up a popup window. Click on a placeholder square and a small window appears which shows a .gif of what the character should look like, and a label saying what it's called. If the user closes the window after viewing, there's no problem. The difficulty comes in if somebody wants to click on a succession of placeholders and view a succession of character .gifs, and meanwhile the initial child window has slipped to the back of the stack and is behind the webpage instead of in front. In IE, Netscape and Safari, it's easy - I just use .focus to bring the child window to the fore. In Chrome, which doesn't recognise the .focus command, I close the child window and re-open it. [There's code further up the document which identifies the browser.] However, neither .focus nor closing and re-opening the window works with Opera, which turns the child window into a tab rather than a separate window, and then shoves that tab to the back. Anybody know how I can get Opera to either move the focus to the child-tab on command, or close it on command so it can be re-opened? This is the code that generates the child window: Code:
function charDisplayer()
{
if (isIEorInnerGroup == "Yes") {codeWidth = windowWidth*.171, codeHeight = windowWidth*.239, codeInset = windowWidth*.041} else {adjust(200), codeWidth = adjust_by, adjust(280), codeHeight = adjust_by, adjust(48), codeInset = adjust_by}
if (isChrome == "Yes") {
if (window.generator) {
window.generator.close();
window.generator= null;
}
}
window.generator=window.open('', 'charwindow', 'height='+codeHeight+', width='+codeWidth+', left='+codeInset+', top='+codeInset*2+', scrollbars=yes');
window.generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Character sample</title>');
window.generator.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="'+styleType+'">');
window.generator.document.write('</head><body>');
window.generator.document.write('<p style="text-align: center;"><div class=centred><table class=centred><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div class=centred><img src="artwork/font_characters/'+charID+'.gif" border=3 alt="'+charName+'" align=bottom border=0 width='+charWidth+'></div>'+charName+'</td></tr></table></div>');
window.generator.document.write('<hr /><a href="javascript:self.close()">Close</a> the popup if you have finished viewing characters.</p>');
window.generator.document.write('</body></html>');
window.generator.document.close();
if (window.focus) {window.generator.focus()}
}
Ignore the line which begins if (isIEorInnerGroup == "Yes") - this is part of a setup which resizes all art, tables etc to maintain a constant size across all browsers and screen resolutions. "stylesheet" is passed as a variable because I have two different stylesheets on the go, to accommodate the fact that Netscape handles text-size differently from the other browsers. There's a function elsewhere which sets the value of stylesheet according to whether the browser is Netscape or not, and whether the platform is a Mac or not. "charID" is a variable which identifies the code name of the character (taken from the Named Entity code) and looks it up under that name in a list of .gifs. "charName" is a variable which passes a text-string saying what the character is called, e.g. "Not a subset of". There is an "isOpera" variable which can be used to start a specific action if the browser is Opera. Similar TutorialsHi All, I need to show/focus the parent window which is in back when click a link from child window in Chrome.This problem is in Chrome browser only. We have used the below code self.blur(); Window.opener.focus(); But this is not working in Google Chrome. Please suggest me some workaround to achieve this. Thanks in Advance Reply With Quote 12-19-2014, 09:26 PM #2 Old Pedant View Profile View Forum Posts Supreme Master coder! Join Date Feb 2009 Posts 28,311 Thanks 82 Thanked 4,754 Times in 4,716 Posts Window is not defined. window is. JavaScript (and the DOM) is case sensitive. You must pay attention to upper/lower case spelling, carefully. By the way, you shouldn't need the blur() call. If you focus on some window (any window) then any other focus should be lost. After open a child window, I would like to keep parent window on focus. I tried self.focus(), set new window in blur() as well as setting the setInterval, none of them works in either Firefox or IE. I think this question relates to the opening window in tab rather than in new window. Actually, in Firefox, it was opened in tab and in IE it was opened in new window. i have this code i need to close the parent.html window when the child window opened, i need the code for that working well in IE and Firefox Parent.html <HTML> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> function sendTo() { window.open('child.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); } </SCRIPT> <BODY > <form name="form"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails1"> <input type="text" value="" name="text1" id="pdetails2"> </br> <input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="sendTo()"> </BODY> </HTML> child.html <html> <body> <form> <input type=text name="text5" value=""> <input type=submit name="submit"value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> After following the instructions from the answer below: http://bytes.com/topic/javascript/an...arent-document I was able to have the child window perform the function defined in the parent window. The function was to only have an alert window pop up as the child page was loading. I easily modified this to my intention which was to have a parent function performed when the child window was clicked. Using the body tag: Code: <body onclick="parent.FUNCTION NAME HERE()"> I first change the method in which the function would be triggered, all went well there. then I tried to change which function would be triggered. (Basically use the function I wanted to happen on click of the child window rather then the function from the test). Once I did this switch, nothing happens. The site this is being used on is: http://tylerpanesar.ca/ What I want is when the menu bar is open in the parent window, the user chooses a link and the menu closes and goes to that link in the child window. This already works. However if the user opens the menu bar and then changes there mind and continues with the page the are currently on (clicks any content in the child window), the menu stays open. Currently the menu "hides" only when you choose one of the menu items, but it does not "hide" when you CLICK on child document. If you could figure out how to get it to "hide" on a "mouse out" that would be the better option. I attempted this method however i could only get it to "toggle" the menu on "mouse out". This method does however create an annoying flicker when you hover over the menu items (as it is toggling the open menu command I guess). If I had it "hide" the menu on "mouse out" it would "hide" as soon as you moved off of the main button. The viewer doesn't even have a chance to click a link. or at least that is what happens when I did it. You may have a better method to achieve this. The script that tells it to hide on click is within a jQuery function: Code: menua
.click(
function(){
menu.hide();
the code I used for the mouseout toggle was: Code: menu
.mouseout(
function(){
menu.toggle();
Here is the script that I am currently using for the menu to open and the "click" hide feature. This menu feature comes from the following help: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1740-Bu...-FaceBook-.htm Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function( $ ){
var menuRoot = $( "#menu-root" );
var menu = $( "#menu" );
var menua = $( "#menu a" );
// Hook up menu root click event.
menuRoot
.attr( "href", "javascript:void( 0 )" )
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.toggle();
// Blur the link to remove focus.
menuRoot.blur();
// Cancel event (and its bubbling).
return( false );
}
)
;
menua
.click(
function(){
// Toggle the menu display.
menu.hide();
}
)
;
// Hook up a click handler on the document so that
// we can hide the menu if it is not the target of
// the mouse click.
$( document ).click(
function( event ){
// Check to see if this came from the menu.
if (
menu.is( ":visible" ) &&
!$( event.target ).closest( "#menu" ).size()
){
// The click came outside the menu, so
// close the menu.
menu.hide();
}
}
);
});
</script>
I've tried adding the click to "hide" menu feature to the child document but there is now menu in that document for it to "hide". What I was trying to was have the child document execute a function from the parent document and have that function executed IN the parent document. I've tried the technique from the link in my very first post but I believe it only calls the function from the parent and executes it IN the child. Which does not work for me as the menu is not in the child. There should be a way to make the child execute a function FOR the parent. I apologize for this very wordy post, but I am extremely frustrated with this now as I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler I have created and opened a child window called "checkwin" and have written some data to it. If the data is valid, I want the user to click on the 'CONFIRM' button on the child window, at which time I want the "submit()" function for the form on the parent window to be executed. If the data is invalid the user clicks on 'MODIFY' and I want focus to return to a field on the parent form. However, when I click on the "CONFIRM" or "MODIFY" buttons on the child window, nothing happens. Here is the code: Code: checkwin.document.write("</td></tr><tr><td align='right'><input type='button' value='CONFIRM'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.submit()'></td><td></td><td><input type='button' value='MODIFY'
onclick='opener.document.personnel_form.first_name.focus()'></td></tr></table>")
Hi, I'm kinda hoping this is possible but haven't found any reference to it... I have a parent page that opens a popup on click that launches a sidebar navigation on the right of the screen and resizes the parent page. What I am wanting to do is create a second popup (approx 250px high) that opens below the navigation (which is only around 600px high) but I have noticed that even when you have no status bar in the popup windows, they can still end up overlapping because of additional tools or plugins that the viewer has in their browser. Is there any way to get the popups to butt up against each other instead of overlapping? More like a relative popup? Any assistance would be appreciated. :-) Hi, I am creating a new child air window called "test.html" as follow. How can I call a javascript function in parent window from child window? function createMyWindow() { var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions(); options.type = air.NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT; options.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE; options.transparent = true; mywindow = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false); mywindow.load(new air.URLRequest("test.html")); .... } Thanks, ASM I am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Thought this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development. Any help is appreciated. Heres my js code Code: //globals
var popupHandle = null;
var openingWindow = false;
function popWindow(URL){
var windowId="sameid";
if (openingWindow == true)
{
alert("Please wait, content is still loading")
return;
}
if ((popupHandle == null || popupHandle.closed)){ //is first time run or window was closed
openingWindow = true;
popupHandle = window.open(URL, '" + windowId + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500');
popupHandle.onload = function(){
//this is the code that never executes even if I all I put in here is simple alerting
openingWindow = false;
windowHandle.focus();
};
}
else{// window still exists, reset attributes
if (popupHandle != null)
{
popupHandle.location.href = URL;
popupHandle.focus();
}
}
}
Note: The whole reason why I am doing this is because if its the first time I am clicking on the button that will open this pop up window and I click it repeatedly very quickly, a new pop up is opened for each time I clicked eventhough the window.open is supposed to reuse the window if it has the same windowId. The first call to window.open takes long enough to not have a window handle ready and this allows other clicks to get through. Hi, I have parent page with 10 child window and i want to close all child window when click on close session button on parent but first i need to check whether any child window open or not after that action should be done for close the child window. For a parent window opened a child window, how can the parnet window be notified when the child window is closed or terminated?

Certain things will need to be done but the users wont want to see the main screen go away while doing these certain things. So my idea is to just open a new window with the content they need, they'll make their changes, the new window will close but then I want the main page to reload. What I've done now is at the end of the script that will be run prior to the new window closing is added this (its a php app): Code: echo "<script>window.close();</script>"; echo "<script>window.opener.location.reload(true);</script>"; Sometimes this works in IE and Firefox but never in Chrome. I know I've seen this done before on other sites, but I cant think of what they are. Can anyone tell me a reliable way that works in all browsers? i had one window with few controls and two buttons, one button click i am opening another small window by using window.open, in this window i had one close button. on click of close button what i want is i want to click the second button which exists in the parent window, and i want to close the chield window. for that i am coding window.opener.document.getElementById('pbGo').click(); self.close(); but i am getting error, in the second button i put alert message for testing purpose. where i am doing wrong i dont know. Any help please. thanks Hi all, I have a HTML and I am opening another link in a separate window using window.open() . The child window is something like 'http://yahoo.com' which is out side html. I need to refresh the parent window when the child window is closed. any idea? Thanks, Mahesh var selwindow = window.open('child1.html','_blank','resizable=yes,width='+(screen.width-500)+',height='+(screen.height-500)+''); selwindow.document.selectform.childText.value=document.getElementById('pdetails1').value; I am using this code to assign a value for textbox in the child window. It works well in Internet Explorer, but it shows an error when run in Firefox. It shows: selwindow.document.selectform is undefined. Here, "childText" is the current window textbox id, "pdetails1" is the child window text box id,"select form" is child window form id |
