The problem is that at least in Chrome(haven't tried other browsers yet) when the Chrome Password Manager saves your password and prefills the password for you when you pick the email. I use jquery to hide/show a div over the top of the password input field as a label, hiding that div when the user clicks into the password field (as can be seen in the above jsfiddle code). I need to know how to hide that div when Chrome prefills the password field...
I've haven't run into this myself, but it appears to be a common issue, based on a few quick Google Searches.

One easy hack you could do is set up some code that runs every second or two via setInterval, and checks to see if the field has a value.
Something like this...
var code = $('#code');
var codeTip = $('#codetip');
var interval = setInterval(function(){
if (code.val()!=''){
codeTip.hide();
clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 1000);
I had the same issue. None of the solutions I found worked nicely enough. I ended up with this:
If it doesn't matter that your input fields have a background, I handled it just in CSS.
jsfiddle
I just gave the .inputPlaceholder { z-index: -1; } so that it aligned behind the input field and then set the input { background: transparent; } so you could see the div behind it.
Google's default -webkit-autofill style has a yellow background, so that just covers up your placeholder behind it all. No need to mess around with custom plugins/events/setIntervals.

I want an HTML <input type="text"> element that has to be clicked on before it can be edited. Kind of along the same lines of how, in Windows or Mac OS Finder, you need to click on a filename before it turns editable.
I at first tried setting the <input> to disabled, and having JavaScript that "enables" it when clicked. This did exactly what I wanted in Chrome, but didn't work in Firefox, because in Firefox apparently making it disabled removes its ability to react to clicks as well.
How do I get this behavior in a way that works well across modern browsers?
You can listen on the parent div and check if input is clicked and then enable it.
Updated answer is working in firefox too.
function enableInput() {
if(event.target.id == 'text-input-overlay') {
event.target.style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("text-input").disabled = false;
}
}
<html>
<body>
<div style="position:relative;" id="container" onclick="enableInput()">
<label for="text-input">Input: </label>
<input id="text-input" type="text" disabled />
<div id="text-input-overlay" style="position:absolute; left:0; right:0; top:0; bottom:0; cursor: pointer;" ></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can reset the default input styles with CSS making it look like a normal text/element. Then use focus and blur events to toggle.
const input = document.querySelector('input[type="text"]');
input.addEventListener('focus', (event) => {
event.target.classList.remove('disabled');
});
input.addEventListener('blur', (event) => {
event.target.classList.add('disabled');
});
.disabled {
border: none;
background: #ccc;
}
<input id="text-input" type="text" class="disabled" value="Click Me" />
I am using Jquery validation and a Tag-it plugin that generates UL LIs on the fly for each new tag to be added. If there are no tags, the plugin has only one LI and it is empty. If you create at least one tag, then the plugin creates a second LI. I am using submitHandler and invalidHandler to validate only if there is more than 1 LI, which means there is at least one tag. This works. Here is my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Z3HDh/95/
I need help with two additional things:
When the form fails to validate because no tags have been entered, it writes to the console - "you don't have any tags". It also displays a message, "Add some tags, puhleeeease!" I want it to add the error styling to the background and border of the ul class="tagit ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all". I have unsuccessfully tried using jquery validation's highlight and addrules functions.
If the field fails to validate (there is no tag, the "Add some tags, puhleeeease!" message appears), and then I put in a tag (which means the field now validates), it will only register the validation and remove the error message if I click submit again. On other fields, the plugin itself validates on the fly and adjusts the styling. So, in this case, as soon as I add the tag, I would like the field to validate successfully and remove the error styling and message, rather than waiting until I re-submit it. I have seen a number of examples of this but also have failed to implement it.
HTML:
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_title">Add your title here (required)</label>
<input type="text" id="id_title" name="title" maxlength="75" value=""
required data-msg="Please add a title.">
</div><!-- end form-group -->
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_material">Your tags go here... (required)</label>
<input type="text" id="id_material" name="material" value=""
required data-msg="Add some tags, puhleeeease!">
</div>
<div class="form-group-buttons">
<p class="form_buttons">
Cancel
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</p>
</div><!-- end form-group-buttons -->
</form>
JS:
$("#id_material").tagit();
$("#add_idea_form").validate({
ignore: "input[name='tags']:hidden",
submitHandler: function (form) {
},
invalidHandler: function(event, validator) {
if($('#id_material + ul').length < 2){
console.log("You don't have any tags");
// return false;
}
}
});
$("li.email > input").rules("add", {
required: true,
email: true
});
CSS:
input.error, td.field input.error, td.field select.error, tr.errorRow td.field, input, tr.errorRow td.field select {
/*background-color: #ffffd5;*/
border:2px solid #d17877;
background: #F2DEDE;
box-shadow: none;
}
#add_idea_form label.error{
color: red;
}
You need to add a delete rule when a tag is entered. The example below will remove the "Add tags please" when a tag is added (after the error was run).
$("#id_material").tagit({
afterTagAdded: function(event, ui) {
$("#id_material-error").remove();
$(".ui-corner-all").removeClass('error');
console.log(ui.tag);
}
});
To add CSS around the tag area, add the following code to your invalid Handler
invalidHandler: function(event, validator) {
if($('#id_material + ul').length < 2){
console.log("You don't have any tags");
$('.ui-corner-all').addClass('error');
}
}
});
It will add a red outline inside the tag input box. If you have multiple tag input boxes, the code may need to be updated to target a specific input.
You'll also need to add the following to your css file
.error{
border:2px solid #d17877;
background: #F2DEDE;
box-shadow: none;
}
.ui-corner-all.error{
background:red;
}
Working example at http://jsfiddle.net/v0jdpkz8/8/
On my site unbotttled.com
in the menu the surrounding div of the search form turns black when I hover over it. What I want is when the input field is clicked on or in focus I want the surrounding div to turn black even when I stop hovering. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
You can just use jQuery to find when it is in focus and set the background color to your liking:
HTML:
<div id="out"><form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.unbotttled.com/">
<input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" placeholder="">
</form>
</div>
jQuery:
$('.field').focus(function() {
$('#out').css('background-color','black');
});
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yZhC3/
You will have to use javascript for this, as far as I know.
with jquery:
$search = $('.my-search-bar-input');
$search.on(':focus', function () {
$search.parent().addClass('.selected');
})
.on(':blur', function () {
$search.parent().removeClass('.selected);
});
and css:
.my-search-container.selected, .my-search-container:hover {
background-color: #333; // Your color
}
Something like that should work.
really new to JQuery.. like 2 hours new. Began to write a drop down menu for a login box like this:
HTML:
<button id="loginButton">Login</button>
When you hover over that, this JQuery runs:
$('#loginButton').live('hover', function() {
login_drop();
});
function login_drop(){
$('#loginBox').fadeIn();
}
$('#loginButton').live('hover', function() {
login_away();
});
function login_away(){
$('#loginBox').fadeOut();
}
And then this HTML DIV appears directly under the button:
<div id="loginBox">
<label for="email_B">Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="email_B" id="email_B" />
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password_B" name="password_B" id="password_B" />
<input type="submit" id="login" value="Sign in" />
<label for="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" />Remember me</label>
<span>Forgot your password?</span>
</div>
and the CSS on that DIV is this:
#loginBox {
position:absolute;
top:70px;
right:100px;
display:none;
z-index:1;
}
This all works, but the behavior of it stinks. How do I make it so you can hover over the button put your mouse in the newly appeared DIV and the div won't fade away until your mouse leaves the div?
Sorry if my coding stinks.
Thanks a bunch guys!
--------------------------------EDITS AKA the ANSWERS--------------------
So for all of you reading this down the line. There are so many ways of making this work depending on how you want the user to interact with it.
Here is way 1...This way the login box fades out when your mouse leaves the login button. This is a quick way fo making it work. This answer is thanks to elclanrs besure to Up 1 his answer below if you like this.
JQuery:
$(function(){
$('#loginButton').mouseenter(function(){ $('#loginBox').fadeIn(); });
$('#login').mouseout(function(){ $('#loginBox').fadeOut(); });
});
HTML:
<div id="loginBox">
<label for="email_B">Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="email_B" id="email_B" />
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password_B" name="password_B" id="password_B" />
<input type="submit" id="login" value="Sign in" />
<label for="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" />Remember me</label>
<span>Forgot your password?</span>
</div>
CSS:
#loginBox {
position:absolute;
top:70px;
right:100px;
width:200px;
height:200px;
display:none;
z-index:99;
background:url(../images/162.png);
}
WAY 2 is adding is a cancel button like Jared Farrish did here:
http://jsfiddle.net/j4Sj5/4/
if you like his answer, be sure to vot him up below!!
and WAY 3 is what I'm attempting now and should be the most user friendly and flashy. I'll post back once I get it to work correctly!
Ah this is a great one to do yourself. Here's how to do it. First off, live might be overkill for what you need to do. In your case you can use a standard hover event handler in jQuery:
$('#loginButton').hover(function() {
$('#loginBox').fadeIn();
}), function(){
$('#loginBox').fadeOut();
});
The real trick here is that you will trigger the mouse out effect as soon as your mouse moves off the button. This will make the menu disappear when the mouse enters the login box!
So what you actually want to do is handle the hover effect on a containing element. Make sure your #loginButton and #loginBox are contained in a parent element like so:
<div id="loginControl">
<button id="loginButton">Login</button>
<div id="loginBox">...</div>
</div>
Then attach the event to the loginButton's parent:
$('#loginButton').parent().hover(function() { ... }), function(){ ... });
Also, if you are using absolute positioning on #loginBox you'll want to also make sure you use position: relative on it's parent (#loginControl in my example):
#loginControl{ position: relative; }
Let me know if you have any trouble.
Getting More Advanced:
If you want to take this a step further you can try out implementing a simple timeout. I learned early on that it's bad for usability to have a dropdown menu that disappears when I accidentally moved my mouse off the dropdown. To fix this I add a simple delay that prevents the dropdown from hiding if the user's mouse returns to the dropdown within a very short period of time (say 250 to 350ms). I have this as a gist on github in case you want to try it out later: https://gist.github.com/71548
EDIT
(Subsequent EDIT: added a timeout to hide after only a mouseover on the show login element, plus some other updates.)
While I still think using mouseenter and mouseout to handle a login form is not the right way to go from a usability perspective, below is code that demonstrates what Jim Jeffers is describing and attempts to handle some of the pitfalls of the approach:
var setuplogindisplay = function(){
var $loginbox = $('#loginBox'),
$loginshow = $('#loginShow'),
$logincontainer = $('#loginContainer'),
$cancellogin = $('#cancelLogin'),
keeptimeout,
closetimeout;
var keepDisplay = function(){
clearAllTimeouts();
keeptimeout = setTimeout(loginHide, 2000);
};
var loginDisplay = function(){
clearAllTimeouts();
if ($loginbox.is(':hidden')) {
$loginbox.fadeIn();
}
};
var loginHide = function(){
clearAllTimeouts();
if ($loginbox.is(':visible')) {
if (!$(this).is('#cancelLogin')) {
closetimeout = setTimeout(function(){
$loginbox.fadeOut();
}, 1500);
} else {
$loginbox.fadeOut();
}
}
};
function clearAllTimeouts() {
if (keeptimeout) {
clearTimeout(keeptimeout);
}
if (closetimeout) {
clearTimeout(closetimeout);
}
}
$loginshow.mouseover(loginDisplay);
$loginshow.mouseout(keepDisplay);
$logincontainer
.mouseout(loginHide)
.children()
.mouseover(loginDisplay)
.mouseout(keepDisplay);
$cancellogin.click(loginHide);
};
$(document).ready(setuplogindisplay);
http://jsfiddle.net/j4Sj5/19/
Note, you have to make concessions to handle the fact mouseouts will fire when you mouse over elements within the #logincontrol element. I handle this by having them loginDisplay() on mouseenter event (it will work on mouseout, but it makes more logical sense on mouseenter).
I would keep in mind usability of the form when trying to access it and try not to get too clever or over-engineer the user experience. Consider:
<input type="button" id="cancelLogin" value="Cancel" />
Use this to close/hide the form, not an action on another element. If you put the close form action on an event like mouseout, you're going to aggravate your users when they move the mouse accidentally or intentionally out of the way, only to find the login form was closed when they did so. The form, IMO, should have the control which fires the event to hide it according to the user's choice.
<span id="loginButton">Show Login</span>
<div id="loginBox">
<label for="email_B">Email Address</label>
<input type="text" name="email_B" id="email_B" />
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password_B" name="password_B" id="password_B" />
<input type="submit" id="login" value="Sign in" />
<input type="button" id="cancelLogin" value="Cancel" />
<label for="checkbox"><input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" />Remember me</label>
<span>Forgot your password?</span>
</div>
$(document).ready(function(){
var $loginbox = $('#loginBox'),
$button = $('#loginButton'),
$cancellogin = $('#cancelLogin');
var loginDisplay = function(){
$loginbox.fadeIn();
};
var loginHide = function(){
$loginbox.fadeOut();
};
$button.click(loginDisplay);
$cancellogin.click(loginHide);
});

Instead of reinventing the wheel, I would recommend looking into a jquery plugin like hoverintent. It does most of the work for you.
And, on a related note, .live() is being deprecated in jquery as of v1.8. you should instead use .on().
This should work. Plus you don't need live() which by the way is deprecated in favor on on(). You also don't need those functions for a simple fadeIn()/fadeOut():
$('#loginButton').mouseenter(function(){ $('#loginBox').fadeIn(); });
$('#loginBox').mouseout(function(){ $(this).fadeOut(); });
I'm trying to do the following sort of thing in Javascript, where you click on the down arrow and it expands downward and displays options (I'll have some input fields and checkboxes and text and stuff in there).
Can anyone please help me out or point me in the right direction, I've tried google searching but I have no idea what they're even called in the Javascript world. "Javascript expanding box", "javascript drop down box", "javascript expanding modal dialog", etc. Nothing seems to hit.
Here's the example:
http://imageshack.us/f/810/examplebe.jpg/
There will be a submit button in the top section (not in the expand section), which will submit the options in the drop down menu as well as the options in the section near the submit button.
Thanks!
Set your markup something like this:
<div class="expandingBox" id="expandingBox">
<div id="expandingBoxContent">
//Content here
</div>
</div>
Expand
and in your CSS, the expandingBox class should be set to:
.expandingBox
{
height: <your initial box height here>
overflow: hidden;
// other styling here
}
Then to get it to expand, you can do something like:
$('#expandButton').bind('click', function(){
var contentHeight = $('#expandingBoxContent').height();
$('#expandingBox').animate({ height: contentHeight }, 1000);
}
a little demo. it may help you
HTML:
<input id="login_button" type="button" value="∨" />
<form name-"myForm" id="login_form" style="height:150px">
<div id="toggle" style="width:150px; height:100px;position:absolute;top:30px;left:20px;background:#9BCDFF;display:none;padding:10px">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="text" class="password" />
</div>
<input type="submit" id="#submit" value="Submit" style="position:absolute; top:150px"/>
</form>
JQUERY:
$('#login_button').click(function(e) {
$('#toggle').slideToggle(1200,
function() {});
});
$('#submit').click(function() {
$('form[name=myForm]').submit(function() {
alert('form submit');
});
});
$('#toggleBtn').click(function(){ $("#toggleBox").toggle();});
If you're using jQuery, I think you might want to look at the jQuery UI implementation of the collapsible accordion.
THere is an inbuilt jquery effect 'SlideDown'. Check it here: http://api.jquery.com/slideDown
It should not be really difficult. You can use jQuery animation effects for that.
Some code example, just to give you direction:
// html
<div id="some-container">Click me!</div>
<div id="some-container-to-show">Hey, I'm appeared on screen!</div>
// js
$(function () {
$("#some-container-to-show").hide();
$("#some-container").live("click", function () {
$("#some-container-to-show").slideDown();
});
});
