Here is my code:
$(document).on('checkout', 'input', function(){
alert('input is not focused anymore');
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" />
But that alert won't be shown when I checkout of that input. I mean nothing happens when I click everywhere except focus on the input. Sorry I don't know English as well and I cannot explain what exactly I want. I want to apply something like stackoverflow's search box.
As you can see it in the top of current page, when you click on the search input (which is into stackoverflow's header), the width of the input will be increased (and some other css properties will be set), and when you click on somewhere else (checkout event ), the width will be toggled. I want to do something like this anyway.
Why checkout event has no reaction in my code?
There is nothing like checkout event, its blur i.e. focus lost for an input element. It is triggers when the input lost focus.
$('input:text').bind('focus blur', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('red');
});
input{
background:#FFFFEE;
}
.red{
background-color:red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="start_date" id="start_date" />
<input class="calc_input" type="text" name="end_date" id="end_date" />
<input class="calc_input" size="8" type="text" name="leap_year" id="leap_year" />
</form>
Check the above example, in this the color of input is changed on focus and re-changed on blur. In the same way you can increase the width of input and vice versa.
I am trying to prevent a radio button from changing when a use clicks, it works when using standard jQuery but when you include jQuery Mobile it does not seem to work, is there something else I have to do in jQuery Mobile?
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
<input type="radio" name="trade-direction" id="buy" value="B" checked="checked" />
<label for="buy">Buy</label>
<input type="radio" name="trade-direction" id="hold" value="H" />
<label for="hold">Hold</label>
<input type="radio" name="trade-direction" id="sell" value="S" />
<label for="sell">Sell</label>
</fieldset>
$('[name="trade-direction"]:radio').click(function(event) {
if(!confirm("Do You Want To Change?")) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
below is a link to the code in jsFiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/mikeu/xJaaa/
The problem is that with jQuery.Mobile, the element that is effected by the UI change is not the input element. In fact, the radio element isn't actually clicked at all. The Element that is clicked is <div class="ui-radio">. If you want to bind to the radio input itself, you need to use the change event, but in this case it won't work for you, because the function gets called after the change has already taken place.
What you need is something like this:
// Probably a good idea to give your fieldset an ID or class
$('fieldset').delegate('.ui-radio','click',function(event){
if(!confirm("Do You Want To Change?")) {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.preventDefault();
}
})
The event.stopImmediatePropagation() prevents the the .ui-radio from triggering the click event to the input, and the event.preventDefault prevents the default action. The stopImmediatePropagation may not be necessary, but it gives an added guarantee that may be helpful across different browsers.
I was wondering if there was a way for text inside a input box (pre loaded using value="") to highlight when the user clicks on it?
input type='text' name='url' id='url' value='http://www.a-link.com/' />
EDIT
I need the text to he highlighted so the user can copy it.
<input type="text" name="textbox" value="Test" onclick="this.select()" />
You could attach javascript to the click event to select the text like so:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#id').click( function( event_details ) {
$(this).select();
});
});
There is a potential issue where the user could be trying to click at a later point in the text to correct a typing mistake and end up selecting the whole thing. A better way would be to trigger this when the input gets focus from the user. you'd replace .click with .focus in the example above.
jQuery event documentation:
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/
Add the following onclick attribute to make the entire <input> automatically highlight when the user clicks on it:
<input type="text" value="Test1" onclick="this.select()" />
Alternatively, if you want the user to be able to change the selection after the initial click, change the onclick attribute to an onfocus attribute. This will also highlight the entire <input> when the user clicks on it, but it allows them to change the highlighted part manually afterwards:
<input type="text" value="Test2" onfocus="this.select()" />
Here is an example of both inputs in action.
You want to use focus property. Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/sCuNs/
html
<p><input type="text" size="40"></p>
css
input:focus, textarea:focus{
background-color: green;
}
Do you mean to select the text?
Use onclick event to fire the code:
document.getElementById("target-input-id").select();
$('#foo').on('mouseup', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).select();
});
$('#foo').on('mouseup', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).select();
});
This should do it:
<input type='text' name='url' id='url' onclick="this.select()" value='http://www.a-link.com/' />
<input id="inputField" type="text" size="40" value="text to be highlighted"></p>
document.getElementById('inputField').focus();
The default behavior for focus selects the text in the input field. I was looking for a solution not to do that when I found this.
I'd like to enable the textbox when it is clicked. However, when I click the textbox, nothing happens. I believe it is a problem with the jQuery selector. Why isn't this working?
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(':input').click(function() {
$(this).removeAttr('disabled');
});
});
</script>
<input type="text" value="123" disabled="disabled" />
Note: I tried both $('input') and $(':input') to select the textfield. Neither worked.
A disabled input isn't going to fire events. Try changing from disabled to readonly.
It has nothing to do with the selector you're using, but rather because, since the input element is disabled, the events for the input will not fire - see: http://www.jsfiddle.net/DvZDh/
<input type="text" value="123" disabled="disabled" />
<input type="text" value="123" />
The code works on the second input element, but not the first. A simple solution would probably be to use CSS to simulate the disabled state instead.
Can someone please tell me how to submit an HTML form when the return key is pressed and if there are no buttons in the form?
The submit button is not there. I am using a custom div instead of that.
To submit the form when the enter key is pressed create a javascript function along these lines.
function checkSubmit(e) {
if(e && e.keyCode == 13) {
document.forms[0].submit();
}
}
Then add the event to whatever scope you need eg on the div tag:
<div onKeyPress="return checkSubmit(event)"/>
This is also the default behaviour of Internet Explorer 7 anyway though (probably earlier versions as well).
IMO, this is the cleanest answer:
<form action="" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
Pwd: <input type="password" name="password"/><br/>
<div class="yourCustomDiv"/>
<input type="submit" style="display:none"/>
</form>
Better yet, if you are using javascript to submit the form using the custom div, you should also use javascript to create it, and to set the display:none style on the button. This way users with javascript disabled will still see the submit button and can click on it.
It has been noted that display:none will cause IE to ignore the input. I created a new JSFiddle example that starts as a standard form, and uses progressive enhancement to hide the submit and create the new div. I did use the CSS styling from StriplingWarrior.
I tried various javascript/jQuery-based strategies, but I kept having issues. The latest issue to arise involved accidental submission when the user uses the enter key to select from the browser's built-in auto-complete list. I finally switched to this strategy, which seems to work on all the browsers my company supports:
<div class="hidden-submit"><input type="submit" tabindex="-1"/></div>
.hidden-submit {
border: 0 none;
height: 0;
width: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
This is similar to the currently-accepted answer by Chris Marasti-Georg, but by avoiding display: none, it appears to work correctly on all browsers.
Update
I edited the code above to include a negative tabindex so it doesn't capture the tab key. While this technically won't validate in HTML 4, the HTML5 spec includes language to make it work the way most browsers were already implementing it anyway.
Use the <button> tag. From the W3C standard:
Buttons created with the BUTTON element function just like buttons created with the INPUT element, but they offer richer rendering possibilities: the BUTTON element may have content. For example, a BUTTON element that contains an image functions like and may resemble an INPUT element whose type is set to "image", but the BUTTON element type allows content.
Basically there is another tag, <button>, which requires no javascript, that also can submit a form. It can be styled much in the way of a <div> tag (including <img /> inside the button tag). The buttons from the <input /> tag are not nearly as flexible.
<button type="submit">
<img src="my-icon.png" />
Clicking will submit the form
</button>
There are three types to set on the <button>; they map to the <input> button types.
<button type="submit">Will submit the form</button>
<button type="reset">Will reset the form</button>
<button type="button">Will do nothing; add javascript onclick hooks</button>
Standards
W3C wiki about <button>
HTML5 <button>
HTML4 <button>
I use <button> tags with css-sprites and a bit of css styling to get colorful and functional form buttons. Note that it's possible to write css for, for example, <a class="button"> links share to styling with the <button> element.
Here is how I do it with jQuery
j(".textBoxClass").keypress(function(e)
{
// if the key pressed is the enter key
if (e.which == 13)
{
// do work
}
});
Other javascript wouldnt be too different. the catch is checking for keypress argument of "13", which is the enter key
I believe this is what you want.
//<![CDATA[
//Send form if they hit enter.
document.onkeypress = enter;
function enter(e) {
if (e.which == 13) { sendform(); }
}
//Form to send
function sendform() {
document.forms[0].submit();
}
//]]>
Every time a key is pressed, function enter() will be called. If the key pressed matches the enter key (13), then sendform() will be called and the first encountered form will be sent. This is only for Firefox and other standards compliant browsers.
If you find this code useful, please be sure to vote me up!
Use the following script.
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitenter(myfield,e)
{
var keycode;
if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
else if (e) keycode = e.which;
else return true;
if (keycode == 13)
{
myfield.form.submit();
return false;
}
else
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
For each field that should submit the form when the user hits enter, call the submitenter function as follows.
<FORM ACTION="../cgi-bin/formaction.pl">
name: <INPUT NAME=realname SIZE=15><BR>
password: <INPUT NAME=password TYPE=PASSWORD SIZE=10
onKeyPress="return submitenter(this,event)"><BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>
I use this method:
<form name='test' method=post action='sendme.php'>
<input type=text name='test1'>
<input type=button value='send' onClick='document.test.submit()'>
<input type=image src='spacer.gif'> <!-- <<<< this is the secret! -->
</form>
Basically, I just add an invisible input of type image (where "spacer.gif" is a 1x1 transparent gif).
In this way, I can submit this form either with the 'send' button or simply by pressing enter on the keyboard.
This is the trick!
Why don't you just apply the div submit styles to a submit button? I'm sure there's a javascript for this but that would be easier.
If you are using asp.net you can use the defaultButton attribute on the form.
I think you should actually have a submit button or a submit image... Do you have a specific reason for using a "submit div"? If you just want custom styles I recommend <input type="image".... http://webdesign.about.com/cs/forms/a/aaformsubmit_2.htm
Extending on the answers, this is what worked for me, maybe someone will find it useful.
Html
<form method="post" action="/url" id="editMeta">
<textarea class="form-control" onkeypress="submitOnEnter(event)"></textarea>
</form>
Js
function submitOnEnter(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
document.getElementById("editMeta").submit()
}
}
Similar to Chris Marasti-Georg's example, instead using inline javascript.
Essentially add onkeypress to the fields you want the enter key to work with. This example acts on the password field.
<html>
<head><title>title</title></head>
<body>
<form action="" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
Pwd: <input type="password" name="password" onkeypress="if(event.keyCode==13) {javascript:form.submit();}" /><br/>
<input type="submit" onClick="javascript:form.submit();"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Since display: none buttons and inputs won't work in Safari and IE, I found that the easiest way, requiring no extra javascript hacks, is to simply add an absolutely positioned <button /> to the form and place it far off screen.
<form action="" method="get">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
<div class="yourCustomDiv"/>
<button style="position:absolute;left:-10000px;right:9990px"/>
</form>
This works in the current version of all major browsers as of September 2016.
Obviously its reccomended (and more semantically correct) to just style the <button/> as desired.
Using the "autofocus" attribute works to give input focus to the button by default. In fact clicking on any control within the form also gives focus to the form, a requirement for the form to react to the RETURN. So, the "autofocus" does that for you in case the user never clicked on any other control within the form.
So, the "autofocus" makes the crucial difference if the user never clicked on any of the form controls before hitting RETURN.
But even then, there are still 2 conditions to be met for this to work without JS:
a) you have to specify a page to go to (if left empty it wont work). In my example it is hello.php
b) the control has to be visible. You could conceivably move it off the page to hide, but you cannot use display:none or visibility:hidden.
What I did, was to use inline style to just move it off the page to the left by 200px. I made the height 0px so that it does not take up space. Because otherwise it can still disrupt other controls above and below. Or you could float the element too.
<form action="hello.php" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"/><br/>
Pwd: <input type="password" name="password"/><br/>
<div class="yourCustomDiv"/>
<input autofocus type="submit" style="position:relative; left:-200px; height:0px;" />
</form>
