Setting tab order with javascript - javascript

I have a page which has multiple forms. I'm using Mootools sliding tabs so each of the buttons on the menu slide along to the next form. There are 3 forms which are technically on the same HTML page. See an example of the technique at http://creativepony.com/archive/demos/sliding-tabs/
My problem is when a user presses the tab key and tabs through to the last field I want the tab order so it goes back to the first field. This is so the user does not accidentally tab to the next form. The user would end up looping back around the same form fields. For the user to reach the next form they use the menu so I don't want them to be able to tab to the next form.
I am aware of setting tab order with 'tabindex' but this doesn't help me make the user return to the first field of that form.
Any ideas how to achieve this with javascript?

I would do this by making the fields in the forms that aren't visible disabled, so the browser knows to skip them, regardless of navigation mechanism (think accessibility aids).

You can do this via event listeners:
$$(".foo").addEvent("click", function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == 9) new Event(e).stop();
$("#myfield").focus();
});

How to find whether user can click a given button in html using js?

I developed a page with only one button.
If a valid user appears i will allow that user to click that button
manually or user can also press enter(i will click that button using
js in background).
If a invalid user appears i will display a freeze layer on top of
that button, so that user cannot click that button.
Problem is if invalid user appears and press enter. my js code will click that button.
So, my question is straight forward is there any option in js to find whether user can click that button
I can also make alternate flow but i need to know answer for above question.
if(<user_is_not_valid_(your own condition)>){
document.getElementById("id_of_button").disabled = true;
}
This is for making a button unable to click. You should solve how to determine if the user is allowed to click. Put your own condition instead of < user_is_not_valid_(your own condition) >.
The user is valid or not is based on API request fire onpage load $.get in success you make the if (user.type==true){ $('#btn').addattr('onclick',funcname);}else{ ('#btn').attr('readonly',true);}

How to navigate from one popup page to another using Jquery in struts2 application

I wish to navigate through multiple pages in a pop-up block. That is, my main page would be inactive when i navigate through pop-up flow as below
[[Main Page]]
[popup-page1]--Next--> [popup-page2]--Next--> [popup-submit page3] --Submit-->
[[Main Page]]
Each page has different set of attributes that are populated by user input such as radio buttons and text fields etc
for instance, below are some of the attributes that are filled on each page.
[page1]--> your name, DOB, country
[page2]--> your preference, your package, direction
[page3]--> email address and submit
How can i retain these values and submit as a form? Do I need to submit each popup page as a separate form or in one shot by retaining all these value till the end?
Note that my application is in strut2 and usually for page navigation I take the help of model driven arch. (putting the fields in one bean and keep a track of value changes using hidden attributes from one form to another)..How can this be achieved using pop-ups. I have limited knowledge about sj:dialog
EDIT
Use Jquery to simulate pop-up navigation by display none and block property. Then, for submit do an AJAX call, this will perform an async call in the background.
In order to navigate through multiple pages in a pop-up block.
I created multiple divs inside the parent div and on click of each continue button I took help of show and hide using Jquery.
At the end of the flow, submit the request to an URL using an AJAX call (GET request)pass values entered by user as params.

navigating to next panel Angularjs

I am working in a Angular project,I have many panels ,in each panel I have some input fields and ends with a continue button.
problem: The user, who is logging to the site needs to click so many continue button to complete filling all the panels.
requirement: once all the input field are entered it should automatically navigate to the next panel without the user clicking on the continue button.
solution: trigger when the (form is valid && onblur of the last input field in the panel)
But I am not so convinced with this approach,Is there any better way of doing it.so kindly provide with some suggestion.
note: continue button will stay in the panel to use when user return backs to the previous panel if needed.

How to detect iOS keyboard 'next' key with javascript

So I have a small SPA written in JS. It has several input fields, but no actual 'form'. Everything is bound with JS.
When the user gets to the last input on a form page, if they press 'tab' or 'enter', I hijack the key event and fire the animation to scroll the next form page in. This all works great.
However, when a user visits on iOS (or android for that matter) if they start filling out inputs and hit the 'next' key, when they reach the end of a form section, the device focuses the next input off screen, and breaks the entire layout, scrolling the viewport in awkward ways and such.
So my question is
1) Is there a way through JS to hijack the 'next' button and properly fire my animations?
or
2) Is there a way to hide the prev/next buttons?
or
3) Is there a way to prevent the 'next' button from jumping to the next section?
I tried making a small jsfiddle that fired an alert on keyup, but the 'next' key doesn't seem to have any sort of keycode, or even to fire the keyup event :/
Thank you for any help.
I'd try adding hidden dummy input field after the last real field on each page, and going to the next page any time it gets focus.

Rails multi step form with Javascript – browser back button behavior

I have 1 form that I've separated into multiple divs, each with their own Next button.
Upon clicking "Next" some javascript fires (see below) that hides the current div and unhides the next div (i.e. next step in the form). The URL is also updated with an # and the name of the step (e.g. example.com/booking turns into example.com/booking#contact-info)
$('#booking-details-complete').click(function(event) {
$("#booking-details").css("display", "none");
$("#contact-info").css("display", "block");
});
The Next button code that fires this JS is:
<%= link_to "Next", '#contact-info', :id => "booking-details-complete"%>
The final piece of the form has a Submit button instead of a Next button, which sends one big POST request to the various models.
My problem is back button behavior: going back doesn't update the page. The URL changes correctly, but the parts of the form (i.e. the divs) don't update their show/hide state.
I'm so close to finishing this project, but just can't figure out this last piece. Any help much appreciated.
So you mean hitting "back" on your browser updates your hash in the URL properly, but your page remains static with the desired behavior being that the section you are on collapses and the previous one re-opens?
You need a hash listener, there isn't a particularly standard way of getting one I don't believe. Push and Pop history just manipulate the history stack, it won't give you what you want.
Once you have a hash listener you have to write a JS function that can set your page state based on the hash of the URL.
I've never implemented a hash listener so here's something I found that might help http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-hashchange-plugin/
