How to have conditional autofocus in Svelte 3 - svelte-3

I would like to shift focus on my page in response to keyboard input. With Svelte it seems that the simplest way is to use the autofocus attribute. However I cannot get conditional autofocus attributes to work.
Here's a simple repro of my problem: https://svelte.dev/repl/0861d097921d4a35957f016a8c35cfe6?version=3.44.3
Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible in Svelte 3?
Conditional autofocus was possible in a previous version of Svelte according to this question: Sveltejs render html attribute conditionally
And conditionality is possible for other attributes in Svelte 3 according to this question: How to have a conditional attribute in Svelte 3?

One solution could be to add a key block around the thing to make it re-run on every update of the focusIndex.
Example
{#key focusIndex}
{#each items as item, index}
<input autofocus="{index === focusIndex}" value={item} on:keydown={(ev) => test(ev)} />
{/each}
{/key}
Not the prettiest solution, but might unblock you.

Not strictly an answer to the exact question I asked, but the alternative that I've gone with is to use bind:this on the elements to create an array of the DOM elements and then in the keydown handler explicitly call .focus() on the DOM elements.
Example: https://svelte.dev/repl/83934cd7924741a8a4c5a620f79d5bb5?version=3.44.3

<p:commandButton>'s action listener not firing with attribute type="button"

Is it possible to fire action,actionListener of a <p:commandButton> with attribute type="button". I have a requirement where in a form there are text boxes and command buttons. If I press enter in any text box then commandButton is invoked. So I change all command buttons type to "button". Now problem I am facing that command button's action, actionListener not firing.I want to solve it with out using java script. Also I read this This Link. Can any one tell me where I should edit or change to get expected output. Thanks.
Using type="button" is the wrong solution to prevent enter key from submitting the form. It basically changes the submit button to a dead button which does not submit the form and is only useful for attaching JavaScript onclick and likes. You're simply facing the consequences of this wrong solution. You should not try to fix it, but take a step back and solve the initial problem the right way.
One of the ways is:
<h:form onkeydown="return event.keyCode != 13">
Or, more generically, with jQuery, which skips textareas from the restriction:
$(document).on("keydown", ":input:not[textarea]", function(event) {
return event.keyCode != 13;
});
Note: jQuery is already bundled in PrimeFaces, you do not need to install any scripts separately. Also note that you really can't go around JavaScript here. Even more, PrimeFaces/ajax components rely on JavaScript and wouldn't work anyway without JavaScript.

Jquery UI tag-it widget - what's the best way to disable entries?

For the Jquery UI tag-it widget, I'd like to disable text input into the class="ui-widget-content ui-autocomplete-input" textbox which contains all the tags.
My purpose is to just allow certain people the ability to delete inappropriate tags, but not allow anybody to add tags (which are auto-generated).
Is the best thing for me to edit the tag-it .js file and add a disable="disable" for that field? If I do that, won't that prevent the contents of that field from being submitted? Or does that matter as long as the associated hidden field is submitted?
Or is there a better way of doing this (an overriding style?) without modifying the tag-it file itself?
Thanks,
doug
In tag-it.js I replaced this line:
this._tagInput = $('<input type="text"').addClass('ui-widget-content');
with this:
this._tagInput = $('<input type="text" readonly="readonly"/>').addClass('ui-widget-content');
adding the readonly="readonly" attribute. That had the desired effect of preventing input but still allowing users to delete inappropriate auto-generated tags.
I had the same question as original op.
But as the question is 2 and a half years old, and tag-it version is changed.
The accepted answer needs to be updated to the folowing in
tag-it.js around line 478:
from:
if (this.options.readOnly){
tag.addClass('tagit-choice-read-only');
}
To:
if (this.options.readOnly){
tag.addClass('tagit-choice-editable');
// Button for removing the tag.
var removeTagIcon = $('<span></span>')
.addClass('ui-icon ui-icon-close');
var removeTag = $('<a><span class="text-icon">\xd7</span></a>') // \xd7 is an X
.addClass('tagit-close')
.append(removeTagIcon)
.click(function(e) {
// Removes a tag when the little 'x' is clicked.
that.removeTag(tag);
});
tag.append(removeTag);
}
This is under the documentation of git repository having the documentation, under the Properties section:
$("#myTags").data("ui-tagit").tagInput.addClass("fancy"); //Obviously
if you want to do something with class...
This translates to the solution for this below, in my personal implementation style, and probably the only way I could get this to work:
$("#myTags").data("ui-tagit").tagInput.prop('disabled' , true);
This is if I understand your question correctly.
Note: ReadOnly does not make the tags un-editable.
As far as going through the tags, you could use ..
var x = $("#myTags").tagit("assignedTags");
Make it as an input field, and that ensures its "singleFieldNode" meaning tags are , (comma) separated. That way you can parse through it (split for commas(,) into an object, or however you want to do it)
PS: To apply any of the snippets above, simply change to the "id" of the HTML element that contains TagIt, and your code would work correctly.

Editable select/combobox

is there any way (or plugin) to display editable combobox? I have a set of options, but I would like to give possibility to enter custom value.
I've searched the documentation, and I can't find way to do this. I made workaround with javascript, but I'm looking for more elegant solution.
I'm pretty sure that there simply is no HTML form element that does this, and so Rails can't provide you with a helper. As you said, you can work with JS to create something similar (and there should be JS libraries/plugins already out there), or you could just use a select element and add a text field next to it for new values.
HTML5 specification doesn't define such an element. So you may either continue using JS, either try to use autocomplete feature of an input element (although it is not exactly what you want and doesn't compatible with old browsers).

Link in input text field

HI All,
I know this is bit strange question, but please suggest.
I want to create a link on website url content in input type"text" field not any other html tag,Is it possible and if yes how.
Regards & Thanks
Amit
I don't know whether I understood your question correctly or not. Based on my understanding I gave the answer. Feel free to raise your question. Nothing is impossible.
</input>
It displays a text box. You can enter any data into it. If you press enter key then it forwards the page to Google.com
You can use SPAN instead of INPUT. This also serve the same purpose.
<a href="http://www.google.com" ><span style="border:1px solid blue;" >Link</span></a>
This is unfortunately not possible in the way you've asked it in HTML 4 or below. Even with HTML5 which has several new INPUT TYPEs, including URL, it only does validation and has some other useful functions, but won't give you want you want.
You might look for some jQuery plugins that can help you do this, most use the same principals behind Rich Text or other online/web-based HTML WYSIWYG editors. I've had trouble locating them myself.
These 3 situations (that I can think of right now) are pretty much what you will face natively with HTML4 or below, as text in an actual HTML4 INPUT textbox is pure text. It is not html and therefore NOT clickable. Here are some variations:
The INPUT tag's VALUE attribute, also referenced as the corresponding DOM object's "value" property (which is basically what you've been doing, and the most you can hope for, if you decide that you MUST have the text that's ACTUALLY inside the textbox (because the text inside the textbox is the VALUE attribute, as I have it with "http://yahoo.com" in this example):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text" value="http://yahoo.com">
where the INPUT's VALUE = "http://yahoo.com", which you can retrieve with:
in pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").value
in jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").val()
When your link/url is the text in between the and , i.e. the text/innerText of the textbox. This is useless for your question/scenario since it's not clickable, and more importantly NOT INSIDE the textbox. However, someone might want to use this to retrieve any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the <label> tag itself already that is):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
http://yahoo.com
</input>
The textbox's text/innerText is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerText
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").text() -- you would use this to capure any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the tag).
The result being: http://yahoo.com
When your link/url is the form of an ANCHOR () with an HREF to your url (and visible link text) in between the and , i.e. the innerHTML of the textbox. This is getting a bit closer to what you want, as the link will appear as, and function as an actual link. However, it will NOT be inside of the textbox. It will be along side it as in example #2. Again, as stated in example #1, you CANNOT have actual working HTML, and therefore a working 'link' inside of a textbox:
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
<a href="http://yahoo.com">
http://yahoo.com
</a>
</input>
Once again, similarly to example #2, the textbox's innerHTML is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerHTML
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").html()
The result being: http://yahoo.com
You could simply do this :
<input type=text value="link" readonly>
So whenever somebody clicks the textbox, it works as a link, and since it's read only, there wont be any text input/change.
Be careful tho, for it wont look like a regular link and might cause confusion, or may be misinterpreted as a normal textbox.
This is how I did it with JavaScript and JQuery. This wraps the entire text field in a hyperlink, so essentially the entire text field is click-able, which may not be the functionality you are looking for. It worked for my purposes though.
The reason I didn't just use a $(nameTextField).click(function(){...}) structure is because the text field I'm using has the disabled attribute set, so click functions aren't fired. That's why I had to wrap the text field in a hyperlink.
// Make person name a hyperlink to page in new tab
var nameLink = "/exampleUrl/?initStudentId=$" + studentId;
$("#studentNameLink").replaceWith($("#studentNameLink").html()); // Unwrap any previously wrapped text fields
$(nameTextField).wrap("<a id='studentNameLink' target='_blank' href='" + nameLink + "'>"); // Wrap text field in anchor
$(nameTextField).css('color', '#326699'); // Make text blue
$(nameTextField).val(studentName); // Set text field value
Half the people here missunderstood it. The OP would like to have the content/value of the input fields to be hyperlinks instantly and NOT the fields themselves.
It is doable... although it's not an input field but the appearance acts like such one.
Use the following: contenteditable=true
HTML
<div contenteditable=true>
<a id=lnk style=-moz-appearance:textfield href=http://www.google.com>http://www.google.com</a>
</div>
or optionally -webkit-appearance ..depends
JavaScript
var lnk=document.getElementById('lnk');
lnk.addEventListener('click',()=>{
window.location.href = lnk.getAttribute('href');
});

You want someone clicking a textbox to actually be treated as a link click?
Sounds malicious to me but you could bind the focus event via javascript to a window.redirect().
I don't know if I get the question right. As I've understood you want to be able to type in a ...-tag into an input-field. No other tags should be allowed. You can achieve this by using PHP for example:
<!-- HTML-Code -->
<input type="text" name="link" />
// PHP-Code
$link = strip_tags($_POST['link'], 'a'); // Remove all other tags than the <a>-Tag...
Is that what you mean?
Yes, it is possible, but it's not that simple. You need to create div, or other tag you prefer, that will be always floating over your input, using CSS positions, and create anchor inside it.
For example, virtual keyboard img is embedded into input field that way on russian Google page (http://www.google.ru/)
Because of browser-compatibility it's not a simple task.
EDIT: Understood your question a little more. You still need first part of the answer, and you will need to handle keypress event inside your input. When symbol is entered you will need to update your floating div.
So now task is difficult even more. Maybe you should revise your model and not the code.

Why does jQuery UI's datepicker break with a dynamic DOM?

I'm working with a dynamic DOM here, and have called the jQuery UI datepicker to all inputs with a specific class name, in this case .date
It works great with the first, static, construct but when I clone it the event handlers don't seem to want to move over. I get the Firebug error:
inst is undefined
I tried looking into jQuery's new live() function but couldn't combine the two. Any ideas?
Ah, got it. Right after I append the HTML to the DOM I run this on all the inputs I'd like to have a datepicker pop up with. Datepicker adds a class to elements it has been attached to, so we can filter out existing inputs and only apply it to new ones.
$('.date').not('.hasDatePicker').datepicker();
I hope this helps people as I was Googling for days and didn't find anything!
You should also note that it would be faster to check for input.date in the new generated HTML by setting that as a context, rather than the whole page, as it will save time, due to this being a more efficient operation.
I had a similar Issue, I had multiple tables on a page and each had multiple datepickers, also on click of button "AddLine" it added a table row with dynamic HTML and datepicker.
I realized after a lot of search that my input date fields had no "id" defined they looked like this
<input type="text" class="datepicker" name="mDate1" value="" size=8 >
jquery was pointing all the date fields values to the very first date field defined on page, the calendar would popup on all the date fields but the value of 1st date field would change, I made a change to the html like this
<input type="text" class="datepicker" id="Date1" name="mDate1" value="" size=8 >
by adding a "id" and it started working, for the dynamic date fields I change the Id like this
var allColumns = $("#"+$tableId+" tr:last td");
$(allColumns).each(function (i,val) {
if($(val).find(":input").hasClass("datepicker")){
$(val).find(":input").attr("id",newId+$(val).find(":input").attr("id"));
}
});
You need to use the 'live' event to make it work with dynamic DOM. So, if the class for your datepicker inputs is 'date-input', following code will make it work:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.date-input').live('click', function() {
$(this).datepicker('destroy').datepicker({showOn:'focus'}).focus();
});
});
This might be a little late, but all the suggestions above didn't work for me, I came up with an easy solution for this.
First, what is causing the problem:
JQuery assign datepicker to element id. if you are cloning element, then same id might be cloned as well. which jQuery doesn't like. You might end up with either receiving null reference error or the date being assigned to first input field regardless which input field you click on.
Solution:
1) destroy datepicker
2) assign new unique ids to all input field
3) assign datepicker for each input
Make sure your input is something like this
<input type="text" name="ndate[]" id="date1" class="n1datepicker">
Before you clone, destroy datepicker
$('.n1datepicker').datepicker('destroy');
After you clone, add these lines as well
var i = 0;
$('.n1datepicker').each(function () {
$(this).attr("id",'date' + i).datepicker();
i++;
});
and the magic happens
Use
$j(id or class).removeClass('hasDatepicker').datepicker();
It is working
Use jQuery selectors:
$(".mydatepicker:not(.hasDatepicker)").datepicker()
Multiple instances of the jquery-ui library on the page will cause this error too. Removing redundant instances work for my case
I experienced the same symptom, in this caused by having a td containing element with the same id attribute as the input,
<td id="fld_xyz"><input id="fld_xyz" class="date" /></td>
I know this isn't ideal anyway, but it's worth knowing that the datepicker component seems to be relying on the uniqueness of the id.
I had this problem. My situation ended up being I had another element with the same ID as the input with the datepicker.
Today I faced the same issue... I am using datetimepicker plugin in my application.
Also using jquery's default datepicker too. When ever I am invoking them both on document ready I am getting the error inst is undefined.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".datepickerCustom").datetimepicker();
$(".datepicker").datepicker();
$("#MainForm").validationEngine('attach');
....
});
So I changed the code to invoke before document ready like below:
$(".datepickerCustom").datetimepicker();
$(".datepicker").datepicker();
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#MainForm").validationEngine('attach');
....
});
Now every thing is working fine. No problems.
I had a similar problem with data picker not working after a first call. I found an answer to my issue here:
http://www.stemkoski.com/problem-with-jquery-ui-datepicker-dynamic-dom/
I was cloning sections dynamically from template and inadvertently including the class that datepicker adds once its called:
hasDatepicker
I placed my first datepicker call after I clone the template and that did it. I then added a datepicker call after each instance of clone:
$(source).clone().appendTo(destination).find(".datepicker").datepicker();
After trying many of the answers here, this is what worked for me and is showing on the first click/focus
function vincularDatePickers() {
$('.mostrar_calendario').live('click', function () {
$(this).datepicker({ showButtonPanel: true, changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, showOn: 'focus' }).focus();
});
}
this needs that your input have the class 'mostrar_calendario'
live is for JQuery 1.3+ for newer versions you need to adapt this to "on"
See more about the difference here http://api.jquery.com/live/
If it still doesn't work, it is because of the cloned id. You can completely remove datepicker like this:
$(selector).removeClass('hasDatepicker').removeAttr('id').datepicker();
