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.
The mobiscroll documentation states
This preset enhances a regular HTML select to select the values with a scroller. The original select is hidden, and a dummy input is visible instead. The value of the select is maintained by the preset.
The sample HTML code they provide uses inline styling to hide the original select element
<select name="City" id="select" style="display:none">
However, when I do this and setup the mobiscroll replacement to appear inline
$('#select').scroller({preset:'select',theme:'default',display:'inline',mode:'scroller',inputClass: 'i-
txt'});
I find that although the scroller appears I still end up with what looks like an input element above it. This does not happen in their demo code but there I note that what they do is something like this
<div id="select_cont" style="display: none;">
<select name="City" id="select">
but that simply hides everything including the mobiscroll replacement. Looking under the covers I found that calling
$('#select').scroller({preset:'select',theme:'default',display:'inline',mode:'scroller',inputClass: 'i-
txt'});
introduces a dummy input element into the DOM.
<input id='cities_dummy'...
I can get the dummy to hide itself by issuing a
$('#cities_dummy').css('display','none')
immediately after creating the scroller. However, I cannot understand why things are working differently in the demo code. I have noted that they are using jQuery Mobile v 1.1.1 whilst I am using the very latest version.
Perhaps this issue is related to versions? Or is there something else at play here? I'd much appreciate any help.
I figured it out. It is all down to the
inputClass:i-txt
bit in the scroller options settings. In the demo code they are probably playing with this class via script depending on the value of the display property in the options object. The point is this - in order to get the original select to disappear when the scroller display is set to "inline" you must define i-txt (or whatever input class you use) as
.i-txt{display:none}
I'm using the nifty 'combobox' variant of jQuery UI Autocomplete - see here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox
I have it within a Form element because its part of a form.
The Autocomplete Combobox has a <button> that is used to show the whole drop down list. However when the user presses it, the form submits. This appears to be because the <button> has a type="submit" attribute. The whole element is created by the button() call within the .combobox fn, see source code.
How do I stop it submitting?
(NB: This guy had the same problem but he fixed it by removing the form - I can't do that)
Ah, nevermind, I figured it out.
The problem is discussed on the jQuery forum here:
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/autocomplete-combobox-problem-when-it-is-placed-inside-a-form-tag
They suggest several different ways of adjusting the source code of the autocomplete combo to fix it. The simplest one seems to be this:
Change the line that says
$("<button> </button>")
to
$("<button type=\"button\"> </button>")
this prevents the type="submit" from being inserted into the final button.
I have a problem in IE. Hitting enter when the focus is on the last input control sends the focus to the "Next" button. This submits the form. So far, so good.
The code in my base class WizardController looks to see if the Next submit button is null, as follows:
protected string NextButton
{
get
{
return ControllerContext.HttpContext.Request.Params["NextButton"];Nex
}
}
However, despite the form submitting, this property returns null unless the user explicitly clicks on the button with his mouse.
This is blatantly wrong, but I have no idea why it is happening.
EDITED TO SPECIFY THE PRECISE PROBLEM:
The problem only occurs IF there is ONLY one TEXT input control in the HTML form that gets rendered to the browser.
END EDIT

I have finally found an explanation for my problem:
It seems to be a bug in IE, whereby if there is a single text input in the rendered HTML form, then IE will not submit the form properly. The issue is described (briefly) at:
Form Submit via Enter Key when using IE
In the above link, no description is given as to why the bug occurs, or since what version of IE, so a blanket solution is better.
The workaround suggested in the article is to add a css hidden text input (with conditionals for IE):
<!--[if IE]>
<input type="text" style="display: none;" disabled="disabled" size="1" />
<![endif]-->
This worked for me, so issue solved.
The following is included to document the issue as I experienced it:
Unlike the problem described in the article, my form did submit. However, when I tried to check which button had been accessed by hitting tab or enter key, no submit button was in the HttpContext.Request.Params collection. So the behaviour I saw was slightly different.
What the above article did identify is that this behaviour is only seen WHEN there is ONLY one text input control. A single check box, for example, does not cause the problem.
I hope that this documents the problem adequately... and that MS will one day correct the bug.
A simple work around might be to use a hidden form element and depend on that rather than the button.
<input type='hidden' name='action' value='next' />
If you have multiple buttons you can always use JavaScript to change the value of the action element just before submitting.
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

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');
});
http://jsfiddle.net/Dezain/jm9mzrzp/
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.
