jquery's autocomplete is hiding itself on window blur, how to prevent this?
Can't find the answer on the Internet.
Sounds simple but with the following code to determine window focus and blur I get display none for all autocomplete that were opened right before going into blur, seems window blur is the trigger for autocomplete to hide:
$(function() {
$(window).focus(function() {
});
$(window).blur(function() {
$(".ui-autocomplete").each(function(){alert($(this).css("display"));});
});
});
I wanted to set variables for all autocomplete that had a display other than none and then on focus display these, but on blur I get display none for all ".ui-autocomplete"
Try changing the autocomplete's blur event handler like this:
$(function(){
$('#autocomplete').autocomplete({
source: ['cat','rabbit','donkey']
}).off('blur').on('blur', function() {
if(document.hasFocus()) {
$('ul.ui-autocomplete').hide();
}
});
});
Using the hasFocus() function you can check the focus of the current window and determine wether to close the options or not

I'm using a bootstrap datepicker and jQuery validate. I have jquery validate set to focus on the input when the field is empty & required.
With bootstrap datepicker however, the focus event causes the calendar to open. Which is not ideal in my situation. I'm wondering if there is a way to focus, but pass through a preventDefault or something like that?
I made a jsfiddle. Basically, is it possible to click the button to focus on the element, but not have the calendar open? https://jsfiddle.net/a2gkpxuh/ The primary purpose of the focus is to scroll the page so the user can see the required element.
$("#myButton").click(function () {
//Some code to prevent default here? Possibly disable datepicker before .focus event
$("#myDatePicker").focus();
});
I guess one possible solution would be to disable the datepicker, then do my jQuery.validate(), then re-enable the datepicker. I feel like there's a better way though...
FYI Here is a similar question: Set focus on Jquery datepicker on datepicker close, without opening datepicker
You could just hide the datepicker after the focus:
$("#myButton").click(function () {
$("#myDatePicker").focus();
$("#myDatePicker").datepicker('hide');
});
Just an add to Maxwell_Orr that will prevent the user from popping the datepicker.
you could do something like this:
$('.default-date-picker').datepicker({
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
autoclose: true
});
$("#myButton").click(function () {
$("#myDatePicker").focus();
$("#myDatePicker").datepicker('hide');
});
$("#myDatePicker").click(function () {
$("#myDatePicker").focus();
});
I have an input that when clicked shows a bootstrap 4 dropdown BUT I need it to open when a user tabs to it as well for ADA accessibility.
If I use a focus event that uses $('#input-name).dropdown('toggle') it works fine, but when the input is clicked focus fires first which opens the dropdown and then the click event closes it.
I have tried e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); but neither help solve this issue.
events: {
focus #healthPlanMenu": "openDropDown"
}
openDropDown: function (e) {
if ($('#healthPlanMenu').find('.dropdown-menu:no(.show)')){
$("#healthPlanMenu.dropdown-toggle").dropdown('toggle');
}//fails
$("#healthPlanMenu.dropdown-toggle").dropdown('toggle');//fails
$( "#healthPlanMenu" ).click();//fails
}
So ideally you'd probably solve this by having the focus event set the dropdown's state to open, that way if it gets "reopened" by the click event, no problem. However, as far as I can tell there is only a toggle option with the jQuery API; seems unnecessarily limiting...
Given that, we can know if a click is coming after our focus event by using mousedown. So a somewhat hacky way to solve this problem is to disable our focus event if we know a click is coming.
(function() {
var disable = false;
$('#healthPlanMenu.dropdown-toggle')
.on('mousedown touchstart', function() {
disable = true;
})
.on('focus', function() {
if (!disable) {
$(this).dropdown('toggle');
}
})
.on('mouseup touchend',function() {
disable = false;
})
})()
I don't know if the touchstart and touchend are necessary as most browsers probably fire mouse events on touch as well. But better safe than sorry.
I'll keep it short and sweet. Trying to implement .select in jQuery and it doesn't seem to be cooperating in Chrome. Clicking in to the input selects the contents only briefly.
$(document).on('focus','.a-thing', function () {
this.select();
});
jsFiddle
this is not a jQuery object
$(document).on({
focus : function () {
$(this).select();
},
mouseup : function() {
return false;
}
}, '.a-thing');
FIDDLE
And you have to prevent the mouseup event to avoid loosing the selection as the mouseup event deselects the text, it's a know issue in Chrome.
Probably due to using the focus event. Try to fire the select event after the focus is complete:
$(document).on('focus','.a-thing', function () {
var self = this;
setTimeout(function() {
self.select();
},1);
});
Updated jsFiddle
User click event instead of foucs, because keyboard tab key will auto select field value without foucs event
$(document).on('click','.a-thing', function () {
this.select();
});
JSFIDDLE DEMO
You can active the select on the mouse up instead of the focus. Chrome seems to de-select on the mouse up event.
$(document).on('mouseup','.a-thing', function () {
$(this).select();
});
Or if you want to keep the focus event, you can prevent the action on mouse up
$(document).on('mouseup','.a-thing', function () {
e.preventDefault();
});
On mouseup event the selection is getting unselected, Please add the following to fix the issue
$(".a-thing").mouseup(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});

When a user opens dialog, there are a bunch of ajax requests that have to be processed and therefore i have a second dialog that just displays loading information and closes once all the requests have been processed.
I am not able to close the user opened dialog with Escape key once it has opened. I have to click on the the dialog itself before I can use escape.
I have tried the following to assign the user opened dialog the focus after the loading dialog closes but to no avail, I still have to click on the dialog before it can close with the escape key.
$(document).ajaxStart(function () {
// IF loading dialog is not allready being shown show it.
if ($("#LoadingData").dialog('isOpen') === false) {
$("#LoadingData").dialog('open');
}
});
$(document).ajaxStop(function () {
//Close the loading dialog once the requests have finished
$("#LoadingData").dialog('close');
//Find the user opened dialog
$('.cmdialog').each(function () {
if ($(this).dialog('isOpen')) {
$(this).trigger('click');//set focus to dialog
// have also replaced .trigger('click') with .focus() but to no avail
}
}).on('click', function() {
//if click is triggerd set the focus of the dialog.
if ($(this).prop('id') != 'LoadingData') {
$(this).focus();
}
});
});
I have also tried setting the focus to the first element within the dialog with $('#DialogName:first-child').focus() and $('#DialogName:first-child').trigger('click') but this is also not working.
Any ideas as to why the focus is not set? Or am I misunderstanding/incorrectly using .focus() and .trigger('event')?
Thanks :)
Try the below code for close the dialog when Escap key is pressed:
$(document).keyup(function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 27) { $("#LoadingData").dialog('close'); } // esc
});
I had the same issue, and found pretty elegant solution, in case you want to close dialog before actually clicking inside it:
$("#LoadingData").dialog({
...,
focus: function () {
$('#LoadingData').closest('.ui-dialog').focus();
}
});
So, we just need to set focus to parent .ui-dialog container, and in that case Esc will work for all cases. Disadvantage of $(document).keyup solution, if you have nested dialogs, Esc button will close your most top dialog and bottom one too.
the focus event is sent to an element when it gains focus. This event is implicitly applicable to a limited set of elements, such as form elements (, , etc.) and links. docs here
You can try moveToTop method of the dialog, maybe it will help
And in your code, I think, you should bind "click" event before triggering it.
The following code should work even for multiple modals open:
$(document).on('keydown','.modal-dialog',function(event){
if (event.keyCode == 27) {
$(this).closest('.modal-dialog').find('[data-dismiss="modal"]').click();
}
});
I'm creating a jQuery plugin that allows me to easily display a popup. In this case, the trigger element is an input and the target element is a div. So, the functionality is based on the focus and blur event. When the input gets focus, the popup opens and when it gets blur, the popup closes. I need the popup to stay open when I click on it and it closes because of the blur event I have set. I have tried to plug in the jQuery off() function into my custom blur() function within the plugin but it doesn't work.
I want to be able to click inside the popup without closing it, even when the input is on blur state or if someone can provide me with a better approach with in the plugin, that will be great too!
JS code
/*
* Popbox plugin
*/
$.fn.adPopbox = function(target){
return this.each( function() {
var enabler = $(this)
function focus() {
return enabler.focus( function(){
target.addClass('triggered');
});
}
function blur() {
return enabler.blur( function(){
target.removeClass('triggered');
});
}
function popbox() {
return target.click( function(){
target.addClass('triggered');
});
}
focus();
blur();
popbox();
});
}
/*
* Invoke Popbox plugin
*/
$(".popover-trigger").adPopbox($('.popover'));
HTML code
<div class="input-wrapper">
<input type="text" class="popover-trigger">
</div>
<div class="popover">
<p>Content to be showed!</p>
</div>
Here is a preview
You can not use the event blur because when you click outside the input, it is first the blur event that is triggered and then the event click but at that moment, your popup is already hidden and the target is on what is below, ie the body.
You should also use the click event on the document to close the popup by inspiring you with this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3028037/4864628
