I dispose of the following code :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body>
<a id="toto" contenteditable="true">Button</a>
</body>
<script>
var elt= document.getElementById('toto');
elt.focus();
</script>
</html>
When the page is loaded, the cursor is already in place and you just have to type what you want. The trouble is that it doesn't work with IE11.
Since this works with other tags like <div>, I assume I just have to make <a> focusable for IE. Any ideas how ?
There are two issues here. First, IE automatically focuses on the body element after the page has loaded. So if your code is exactly as in the question, it will set focus on the a element but this will be overridden a few nanoseconds later, after the load event is triggered. A simple way to avoid this is to make sure the focus is set only after load. Example:
<a id="toto" contenteditable="true">Button</a>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var elt= document.getElementById('toto');
elt.focus();
}
</script>
But IE also seems to have an issue with setting focus on an a element without an href attribute. Whatever the cause might be, you can circumvent this a) by adding href="javascript:;", but this is awkward and causes link formatting to be applied, or b) by changing the a element to e.g. a span element;

In order to prevent an iframe from flashing, I'm setting its visibility inside a setTimeout (the CSS is set to visibility:hidden)
setTimeout(function(){
$n('#myFrame').css('visibility','visible');}, 750);
Works great, although when I load subsequent locations inside the frame, the flashing behavior returns since the visibility is already set.
What I'd like to do is create a function that targets the iframe BEFORE the DOM/page has loaded to set the visibility to hidden again and then setTimeout.
Keep in mind that this script will run on the ServiceNow platform, meaning some options are limited (can't load in document head, etc.)
It's sort of like a reverse document.ready(). Is this even possible?
Thanks for any leads,
Paco
Just set it in your source:
<iframe style="display: none;"></iframe>
Then un-hide it when you want to.
$('buttonToChangeTheIframePage').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#myFrame').css('visibility','hidden');
$('#myFrame').delay(1000).css('visibility','visible');
});
This assumes you are loading locations from OUTSIDE the iframe - anything within the iframe (like a link) will still trigger this behaviour.
EDIT
This is actually better and will work for all circumstances (I think - just check no silly errors as not tested)
<iframe id="myFrame" src="http://www.google.com/" onLoad="hideUnhide();"></iframe>
function hideUnhide(){
$('#myFrame').css('visibility','hidden').delay(1000).css('visibility','visible');
}
Use addAfterPageLoadedEvent(func) in js_include_doc_type.js
<iframe id="gsft_main" style="visibility: hidden;">
anything ....
<script>
addAfterPageLoadedEvent(function() {
$j('#gsft_main').css('visibility','visible');
});
</script>
</iframe>
I am using iframe popup and i want to change something outside of iframe with jquery from iframe ?
this need to be done with jquery.
code like this

});
<script>
i want to hide of outer div click on iframe inner div
thanks

This is some code that has worked for me.
Assuming that the iFrame is within the same domain as it's parent, try this:
// -- Find the PARENT of the iFrame that this script runs in
var $topLevel = $(window.parent.document, window.parent.document);
If you then use $topLevel as a starting point for your jQuery it should work.
Be aware that this codes works alright in modern browsers but doesn't seem to operate in IE8 (and untested below IE8)
I am trying do some modification to an greasemonkey userscript to implement a feature I need. The code is like
showAddress:function(addrString,type)
{
this.addrBox=$('<div id="batchPublish"></div>')
.append('<div id="batchHeader"></div>')
.append('<div id="batchContent" style="float:left;clear:both"></div>');
.........
var batchContent=this.addrBox.find('#batchContent')
.append('<pre width="300" style="text-align:left" id="batchedlink"></pre>');
this.addrBox.find('#batchedlink').css({'width':'500px','height':'250px','overflow':'auto','word-wrap': 'break-word'})
.append(addrString);
$.blockUI({message:this.addrBox,css:{width:"520px",height:"300px"}}); }
Basically this code writes data to html. What I want to implement is to have "addrString" written to an iframe embedded. Now It's in the "pre" tag. I have tried many approaches but still no luck. Iframe was always empty.
I am completely a novice in javascript and unclear whether this is possible.
Thank you for the help.
Since you are adding the iFrame in the same domain, then you can manipulate its contents like this:
(See it in action at jsBin.)
$("#batchContent").append ('<iframe id="batchedlink"></iframe>');
/*--- Compensate for a bug in IE and FF, Dynamically added iFrame needs
some time to become "DOM-able".
*/
setTimeout ( function () {
var iframeBody = $("#batchedlink").contents ().find ("body");
iframeBody.append (addrString);
},
333
);
NOTE:
For a Chrome userscript, you apparently don't need the timer delay. But for FF and IE 8 (the other 2 browsers I double-checked), a dynamically added iFrame is not manipulable until after it has "settled" for some reason. This seems to take about 200 mS.
A statically loaded iFrame does not have this lag, see the jsBin demo.
Sort of hard to tell exactly what you're asking -- but if you want to know whether or not you can append DOM elements to an iFrame, the answer is "no".
I have a page that contains an iframe that gets loaded using Javascript:
index.html
<iframe id="myFrame" width="800" height="600" style="display: none;"></iframe>
<div id="loader"><!-- some loading indicator --></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function someFunction() {
var myFrame = document.getElementById('myFrame');
var loader = document.getElementById('loader');
loader.style.display = 'block';
myFrame.src = 'myFrame.html';
myFrame.onload = function() {
myFrame.style.display = 'block';
loader.style.display = 'none';
};
}
</script>
The page that gets loaded in the iframe contains some Javascript logic which calculates the sizes of certain elements for the purposes of adding a JS driven scrollbar (jScrollPane + jQuery Dimensions).
myFrame.html
<div id="scrollingElement" style="overflow: auto;">
<div id="several"></div>
<div id="child"></div>
<div id="elements"></div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).load(function() {
$('#scrollingElement').jScrollPane();
});
</script>
This works in Chrome (and probably other Webkit browsers), but fails in Firefox and IE because at the time jScrollPane gets called, all the elements are still invisble and jQuery Dimensions is unable to determine any element's dimensions.
Is there a way to make sure my iframe is visible before $(document).ready(...) gets called? Other than using setTimeout to delay jScrollPane, which is something I definitely want to avoid.
Some browsers assume that when "display:none" is applied to replaced elements (like Flash or an iframe) the visual info for that element is no longer needed. So, if the element is later displayed by the CSS, the browser will actually recreate the visual data form scratch.
I imagine that having the iframe default to "display:none;" makes the browser skip the rendering of the HTML so the tags don't have any dimensions. I would set the visibility to "hidden" or position it off the page rather than use "display:none;".
Good luck.
instead of making the iframe invisible by using display:none, you could try to...
... set visibility:hidden
... set position:absolute; top:-600px;
... set opacity:0
or something else that makes jQuery "see" the objects but not the user (and reset the used css-attributes in your myFrame.onload function).
visibility:collapse;
display:hidden;
height:0px;
Will work to get rid of white space too..
The iframe will also load..
Hidden iframes are a huge security issue. Probably best to try to find another way to accomplish what you want, if it is legitimate, because hopefully future browsers will get rid of this feature altogether. http://blog.opendns.com/2012/07/10/opendns-security-team-blackhole-exploit/
First, the background:
I'm working in Tapestry 4, so the HTML for any given page is stitched together from various bits and pieces of HTML scattered throughout the application. For the component I'm working on I don't have the <body> tag so I can't give it an onload attribute.
The component has an input element that needs focus when the page loads. Does anyone know a way to set the focus to a file input (or any other text-type input) on page load without access to the body tag?
I've tried inserting script into the body like
document.body.setAttribute('onload', 'setFocus()')
(where setFocus is a function setting the focus to the file input element), but that didn't work. I can't say I was surprised by that though.
EDIT:
As has been stated, I do indeed need to do this with a page component. I ended up adding file-type inputs to the script we use for giving focus to the first editable and visible input on a page. In researching this problem I haven't found any security issues with doing this.
<script>
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('search_query').select();
//document.getElementById('search_query').value = '';
// where 'search_query' will be the id of the input element
};
</script>
must be useful i think !!!
This has worked well for me:
<script>
function getLastFormElem(){
var fID = document.forms.length -1;
var f = document.forms[fID];
var eID = f.elements.length -1;
return f.elements[eID];
}
</script>
<input name="whatever" id="maybesetmaybenot" type="text"/>
<!-- any other code except more form tags -->
<script>getLastFormElem().focus();</script>
you can give the window an onload handler
window.onload = setFocus;
I think you have a fundamental problem with your encapsulation. Although in most cases you could attach an event handler to the onload event - see http://ejohn.org/projects/flexible-javascript-events/ by John Resig for how to do this, setFocus needs to be managed by a page component since you can't have two components on your page requiring that they get the focus when the page loads.
Try play with tabstop attribute
First of all, the input file is no the same as the other inputs, you need to keep this in mind.... thats for security reasons. When the input file get focus it should be read only or the browser should popup a dialog to choose some file.
Now, for the other inputs you could try some onload event on some of your elements...(not only the body have the onload event) or you could use inline javascript in the middle of the html. If you put javascript code without telling that is a function it gets executes while the browser reads it. Something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
function yourFunction()
{
...;
};
alert('hello world!");
yourFunction();
</script>
The function will be executed after the alert just when the browser reads it.
If you can, you should use jQuery to do your javascript. It will make your live soooo much easy.... :)
With jQuery could be done like this:
$(function() {
$("input:file").eq(0).focus()
})
With plain javascript could be done like this:
var oldWindowOnload = window.onload; // be nice with other uses of onload
window.onload = function() {
var form = document.forms[0];
for(i=0; i < form.length; i++) {
if (form[i].type == "file") {
form[i].focus();
}
}
oldWindowOnload();
}
For more elaborate solution with plain javascript see Set Focus to First Input on Web Page on CodeProject.
Scunliffe's solution has a usability advantage.
When page scripts are loading slowly, calling focus() from "onLoad" event makes a very nasty page "jump" if user scrolls away the page. So this is a more user friendly approach:
<input id="..."></input>
... really small piece of HTML ...
<script>getTheDesiredInput().focus();</script>
