JavaScript - On Focus And Restore For Form
I wish to have a form clear the default text from my form and allow the user to type in the field
but if they move to another fields and do not enter anything in that fields they first went in to the fields restores to the default tetx that was in there before. i have name: tel: state: in the fields by default. i have heard this should be done using javascript can someone help me out here with some coding. i have tried to find it but only find ones that use on focus and for only one fields not multiple Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Similar TutorialsIs 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?
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. Hi All, In my work here there is an application that has recently had a plugin coded up for it, the plugin allows custom message boxes to be opened up by the user when they roll on the help icons. The boxes open automatically and then close as soon as the mouse focus rolls off their box area. The boxes support java script content and html etc so can be very customised. I have coded a user form with various data capture fields. I would like the data in the fields to be reloaded if the user accidentally rolls off the box (as this will close it and the behavious cannot be changed :-<) I have used cookies and tested in browser and all the retreival and storage of the cookie data works fine. Problem is with this plugin app is that i cannot fit in the call to 'onload CheckForCookies()' anywhere - The boxes do not seem to appear as 'window opening events' so could anybody suggest a way of Adding the call to checkforcookies() into my form loading - that does not depend on a window opening event? There are four or five fields and i would like them all to update with whatever was last in them when the messagebox opens - it is not an api/ browser generated messge box, rather it is a custom web widget of some sort and i do not have access to the source code at this time. It is equally important to be able to create or refresh the cookie data for the fields when the user rolls off the box so they do not lose whatever info was typed in so far so i need to call like 'onunload SetAllCookies' Like i say i have the code to do the work, the problem is the functions are not being called as the behaviour of the little boxes does not trigger them as load / unload eventrs. I tested using 'onfocus' and this works but is nbo good as the user would only see the data they had 'lost' when they click on a field. 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">

Regards, Basha. I'm new to this...please help. I have several iframes. A few of them have rollovers inside the iframe htm(s). In my navi bar one of the drop down tabs (onclick points to the iframe) called qlist.htm. This works. But in the qlist is a text rollover -fri4_june.htm. this works. But when I go back to the qlist tab it stays on the fri4_june.htm and doesn't go back to the qlist.htm. I'm thinking it needs to be a swap restore() but not sure how to write it a where. here's some of the code: index: <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts_courtt/drdn.js"> </script><script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function show(which) { for ( var n = 1; n < 999999; ++n ) { var iframe = document.getElementById("ifr" + n); if ( iframe == null ) return; // no more to check iframe.style.display = ( which == n ) ? "block" : "none"; } } //--> </script> <iframe id="ifr2" src="qlist.htm" width="640" height="520" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" style="display:none"></iframe> <li><a href="#" onmouseover="mopen('m1')" onmouseout="mclosetime()">Upcoming Shows</a> <div id="m1" onmouseover="mcancelclosetime()" onmouseout="mclosetime()"> <a href="#" onclick="show(2)">Quick List</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MySpaceCal</a></div></li> qlist.htm: <div class="qlist2"> <a href="juneshows/fri4_june.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_self">Jun 25 2010 8:00P</a><br /> </div> thankx.... Hello, I have a form which can be saved (using a database) and later edited. When restoring data to the form , text fields are easy. There is a simple (existing) JavaScript which restores an option that was selected from a pull-down (select one) menu: Code: for (var q=0;q<document.Simple.Color.options.length;q++) {
if (document.Simple.Color.options[q].value == document.Restored.Color.value)
{ document.Simple.Color.options[q]. selected = true; break; }
I'm trying to make it work to restore a value to a radio button as well... but no luck: Code: for (var q=0;q<document.Simple.Color.options.length;q++) {
if (document.Simple.Color.options[q].value == document.Restored.Color.value)
{ document.Simple.Color.options[q]. checked = true; break; }
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. ~Wayne Hi all, Not sure if this is a browser feature kind of thing, or if it can be done with a script. I'm looking at my page: www.mysite.com/index.php?start=0 I scroll to the bottom of the page with the vertical scroll bar, and then click the pagation link to start on page 2, record #50: www.mysite.com/index.php?start=50 Of course, the vertical scroll bar jumps back to the top of my page. Is there a way to make it remember that the scroll bar was at the bottom (or in the middle)? Thanks. Everything up until the focus line works, any ideas? Code: else {
alert ("Please enter your Postcode correctly, this includes:\n \n * Correct Spacing - AA1 1AA \n * Correct amount of letters and numbers. \n \n Sorry if this causes any inconvenience, but it is to your benefit.");
document.delAdd.postcode.value = "";
document.delAdd.postcode.focus();}
Have 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?
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? 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 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 (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! 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 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 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.

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" );

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!!! 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 |
