I use codeigniter with adminre template.
I use the checkbox class "custom-checkbox" that hides the input type="checkbox" and show a box styled with css.
When I trie to pass the focus to that control with the tab key, it doesn't get the focus.
I think the problem is that the focus goes to the input element and not to the box styled.
If I put the tabindex into the span or div where the checkbox is, it receives the focus but if I press the space key to check it, it doesn't work.
Any idea will be received gratefully!
I hope my explanation is clear enough, the english is not my native language :-(
Thanks

I'm facing a very weird (& blocking) issue using diagrams.net webapp.
I'm trying to add some nodes in the Format Panel. I created a new tab in this panel & added in it some new inputs.
There are text inputs, checkbox inputs & textarea.
But the behavior is absolutely not the expected one.
For text & cb inputs, everything works fine, but textareas behavior is... at least very weird:
The field can't get focus by mouse clicking (remember that click works on other inputs). The only way to set the focus on it is by using JS focus() method.
Text inside the tag can't be selected by mouse. If element has the focus, text can be updated. Moreover, even if text can be changed, text cursor cannot move from the end of the text.
Textarea box is not resizable. There is the bottom-right arrow to resize it & I added the "resize" value to be sure but the feature doesn't disable but I juste can't. BUT ! If I set the attribute "disabled" then I can resize the box. Unfortunately, I can't disable the textarea since I want to put it because I need to write in it.
I can't show you code for now (it's just a new node creation using document.createElement) but you can easily test this: go to drawio webapp & when the webapp is loaded, use the Inspector in the developer tools to add a new textarea node in the format panel (div with ".geFormatContainer" class) : element is not focusable with the mouse, text inside it is unselectable & box is not resizable as long as "disabled" attribute is not set.
I added a click listener in the component to check if click did something & it does, but it doesn't give the focus to the element (document.activeElement says that body is focused -_-) so I think there is something in mxgraph which avoids the element's classic behavior. But what ?
Typically a combobox widget is an input field that launches an associated popup with a bunch of suggestions in the popup. In desktop browsers using keyboard, while the focus stays with the input field, pressing Up/Down arrow keys, the selection within the popup can be changed. Pressing ENTER key populates the input field with current selection in the popup and closes the popup.
For accessibility purpose, the input field is marked role="combobox", the popup is linked with the input field via aria-owns. The AT are indicated the current selection via aria-activedescendant.
While this setup works great in desktop browsers with tools like JAWS/NVDA etc., there seems to be a major issue with voiceover on iOS. On swiping the finger, the virtual cursor moves to the next element in the page from the input field, though I would expect with aria-owns set, the focus to move to the first suggestion item or to the popup.
Any suggestions on how such a combobox widget can be made accessible in iOS with voiceover?
PS: The popup and input field are not siblings in the DOM order.
It sounds like you are creating a custom combobox. If you use the native <select>/<option> elements, the combobox works correctly on ios/voiceover. If you are creating your own, follow the guidance on https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#combobox. You mentioned several ARIA attributes so perhaps you're already following the advice on that page.
Swiping right with voiceover will move the focus to the next element in the DOM. If your dropdown list is hidden, then focus won't move to it. Double tapping on your <input> should display the dropdown list.
Is there a simple way to have a default text in the textbox using jQueryUI's autocomplete ?
I have tried using data-placeholder but it doesn't seem to work.
I have searched online, and people suggest using the textbox value to display the text, and clear it on focus. But then I would need to change the font style just for the default text, and check onKeyUp when the text is manually erased etc...
Is there no easier way to do this ? or am I missing something ?
A lot of people will use a span that is positioned to be over the text box. When the text box gets focus then you hide the span. When the text box blurs and has a value, you don't show it. If it doesn't have a value then you can show it again.
You can style the span however you want independently of the text box so you would not have to change the font style on the text box itself. You would have to subscribe to the focus and blur events, but it would be much easier if you created a jQuery plugin to do this. In fact, I'm sure there are ones that already exist that do this.
I have this case where I set a current item from a list and I need to use a textarea to edit that element's value.
Because of some constraints I have to use a keyup event but I don't think that's a problem.
Check this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/terebentina/Euj2C/
click on first/second buttons - it works, it changes the text in the textarea to the value of each element.
change the text in the textarea to something
click on the first/second buttons again - the textarea is not updated anymore. If you look in console, you can see that it switches between the elements, it's just that the textarea is not updated anymore.
Any suggestions? this is driving me nuts!
I know there is a better way modifying your directive to do this but as a quick fix for now you can try binding your textarea to a ngModel value that is just a copy of the current text in the selected element:
<textarea keyup="" ng-model="keyupText"></textarea>
With this in as your current function:
$scope.current = function(idx) {
$scope.current_element = $scope.elements[idx];
$scope.keyupText = $scope.current_element.value;
console.log('current is', $scope.current_element.value);
}
See this fiddle for an example.
I have a form in the order;
Textbox
Dropdown
Now when user moves focus from textbox to dropdown, the keyboard still remains and it kind of hides the dropdown options...
How do I make the keyboard hide (onblur of textbox)
I have already tried window.blur and it does not work.
Please help me. thank you.
you can try to focus() on a non-text element.
or
$("#yourTextField").blur(); //jquery
