I want to create a title textbox like on this site. When a user focuses nothing happens, and when a user types in textbox all is removed.
Assuming that you are taking about html + javascript/jquery

$(this).focus(function() {
if ($(this).val() == swapValues[i]) {

I try to find the caret position in an editable div.
Also it should be nice to get the selected text in this div.
I try to assimilate this:
Editable Div Caret Position
But it dosen’t work.
I'll be happy to give any Idea.
Thanks in advance
Some code snippet
HTML
<a on-click="{{chooseMenu}}" which-menu="1">Menu 1</a>
Dart
void chooseMenu(Event event, var detail, var target) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
Selection sel;
Range range;
sel = window.getSelection();
if(sel != null) {
range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
range.collapse(false);
}
currentSubMenu = int.parse(target.attributes['which-menu']);
}
This worked for me in Dartium.
The other code from the referenced SO question is probably to support other browsers.
Dart usually generates JS code that works in all supported browsers.
You have to test yourself if the generated JS really works in the browsers you want to support.
EDIT
We store the selection whenever it changes. Maybe there are better events but I couldn't find one.
But it worked fine for me.
We insert the new node at the previously stored selection.
// must be accessible by getRange, insertNodeAfterSelection
DivElement editable;
Range range;
// store reference to our contenteditable element
editable = (document.querySelector('#editable') as DivElement);
// subscribe selection change events
document.onSelectionChange.listen(getRange);
void insertNodeAfterSelection(Node node) {
range.collapse(false);
range.insertNode(node);
}
void getRange(Event e) {
if(document.activeElement != editable) { // save only selection changes on our contenteditable
return;
}
print(e);
Selection sel;
sel = window.getSelection();
if(sel != null) {
range = sel.getRangeAt(0);
}
}
You have to decide yourself where you put those code parts. I added some comments as support.
EDIT
using the mousedown event instead of click should help around this issue
Preserve text selection in contenteditable while interacting with jQuery UI Dialog and text input
Im trying to use pass my car value to another function, which i have no idea how. i tried to place the whole function btn-info-add into .span8. But this it will execute twice on the 2nd time.
$(".span8").on("click", "table #trID", function() {
var car = ($(this).closest("tr").children("td").eq(1).html());
$('#myModal1').modal('show');
});
$("#btn-info-add").click(function() //button inside the modal
selectCourse(car); //execute ajax
});
var car; //car must be declared out of your function to be available for both functions
$(".span8").on("click", "table #trID", function() {
car = ($(this).closest("tr").children("td").eq(1).html());
$('#myModal1').modal('show');
});
$("#btn-info-add").click(function() //button inside the modal
selectCourse(car); //execute ajax
});
You can create a hidden element inside your dialog (input would be great) and assign it your desire value.
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
<input id="carvalue" type="hidden" value=""/>
</div>
Note that I created an input element (hidden, of course) which is going to store the value that I want to access later. After that, you can modify your code like this:
$(".span8").on("click", "table #trID", function() {
var car = ($(this).closest("tr").children("td").eq(1).html());
$("#carvalue").val(car); // Store value into hidden input
$('#myModal1').modal('show');
});
$("#btn-info-add").click(function() //button inside the modal
var car = $("#carvalue").val(); // retrieve value from input hidden
if(car != ""){
selectCourse(car);
}
});
This technique is commonly used in forms to pass additional information on AJAX calls. Your user will not notice its presence and you can keep working. Happy coding!
EDIT:
JQuery has a method called jQuery.data to store information into JQuery elements. So your values are going to be stored on the element itself. Your code will look like this:
$(".span8").on("click", "table #trID", function() {
var car = ($(this).closest("tr").children("td").eq(1).html());
jQuery.data("#btn-info-add", "car", car); // store data inside jQuery element
$('#myModal1').modal('show');
});
$("#btn-info-add").click(function() //button inside the modal
selectCourse(jQuery.data("#btn-info-add", "car")); //execute ajax
});
I hope it helps you. Happy coding!
I have a Kendo Grid for MVC and I have added a custom command to every row. Now I need to wire the click event to redirect the user to another View using the ID value from the selected row.
This works as is but the ID is hard coded. I need help with dynamically building the redirect:
function editShippment() {
var grid = $('#Grid').data('kendoGrid'); //get a reference to the grid data
var record = grid.dataItem(grid.select()); //get a reference to the currently selected row
var shippingHeaderID = record.ShippingHeaderID;
window.location.href = "#Url.Action("ShippingLineItemsEdit","Shipping",new {id= 182})"; //hard coded but need the record.ShippingHeaderID inserted here.
}
Use the Url.Action helper to build the main url and then append the id.
window.location.href = "#Url.Action("ShippingLineItemsEdit","Shipping")"
+ "/" + shippingHeaderID;
If context menu is added to jqGrid using Custom values to Context Menu Items in JQgrid and text filed inline editing is used, textbox standard context menu is not available, it is replace with jqGrid context menu.
How to add standard textbox context menu commands ( Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Select all ) to jqGrid conext menu or how to show standard context menu for textbox inline editing?
Update
On inline edit, if standard menu is opened by right clicking on yellow background or in autocomplete box and after that standard browser context menu is opened, custom menu is not closed, two menus appear.
How to fix this ?
It's not easy to implement in context menu commands like "Copy", "Paste", ... so I decide to modify my demo from the answer on your previous question. In the new demo the context menu appears only if the page contains no selected text.
The first problem is that the original code of the jquery.contextmenu.js contains the following code fragment:
$(this).bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
// Check if onContextMenu() defined
var bShowContext = (!!hash[index].onContextMenu) ? hash[index].onContextMenu(e) : true;
if (bShowContext) display(index, this, e, options);
return false;
});
So the contextmenu handler return always false and prevent creating of the standard context menu. I fix the code to the following (you can download full modified code here):
$(this).bind('contextmenu', function(e) {
// Check if onContextMenu() defined
var bShowContext = (!!hash[index].onContextMenu) ? hash[index].onContextMenu(e) : true;
currentTarget = e.target;
if (bShowContext) {
display(index, this, e, options);
return false;
}
});
The code of createContexMenuFromNavigatorButtons functions described here I modified
onContextMenu: function (e) {
var rowId = $(e.target).closest("tr.jqgrow").attr("id"), p = grid[0].p, i,
lastSelId;
if (rowId && getSelectedText() === '') {
...
return true;
} else {
return false; // no contex menu
}
}
to use getSelectedText() and to create the context menu only if no text is selected. As the result you will be see your custom context menu only if no text is selected and see the standard context menu (which depend on web browser) if the text selection exist:
UPDATED: I modified my bug report about jquery.contextmenu.js with additional information based on the answer. I hope that the changes will be soon in the main code of jquery.contextmenu.js included in the plugins subdirectory.
UPDATED 2: How you can see here all the fixes are already in the main code of jqGrid on the github and in included in the jqGrid 4.3.
UPDATED 3: If you want to have the standard context menu for all enabled <input type="text" ...>, <input type="textarea" ...> and <textarea ...> elements you should just modify a little the code inside of onContextMenu callback. For example
onContextMenu: function (e) {
var p = grid[0].p, i, lastSelId,
$target = $(e.target),
rowId = $target.closest("tr.jqgrow").attr("id"),
isInput = $target.is(':text:enabled') ||
$target.is('input[type=textarea]:enabled') ||
$target.is('textarea:enabled');
if (rowId && !isInput && getSelectedText() === '') {
...
see one more demo where inline editing will be activate by double-click.
I have a list of links, and I have this search box #reportname. When the user types in the search box, autocomplete will show the text of the links in a list.
<div class="inline">
<div class="span-10">
<label for="reportname">Report Name</label>
<input type="text" name="reportname" id="reportname" />
</div>
<div class="span-10 last">
<button type="button" id="reportfind">Select</button>
</div>
</div>
The user can then use the keyboard arrow to select one of the text, and when he press ENTER, browser will go to the address of the link. So far so good.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#reportname").autocomplete({
source: $.map($("a.large"), function (a) { return a.text }),
select: function () { $("#reportfind").click() }
})
$("#reportfind").click(function () {
var reportname = $("#reportname")[0].value
var thelinks = $('a.large:contains("' + reportname + '")').filter(
function (i) { return (this.text === reportname) })
window.location = thelinks[0].href
})
});
</script>
The issue is when the user types, autocomplete shows a list, and then the user use the mouse to click one of the result. With keyboard navigation, the content of the search box is changed, but if the user clicks one of the options, the search box is not modified and the select event is immediately triggered.
How can I make the script work with keyboard selection and mouse selection? How can I differentiate between select events that are triggered by keyboard with the ones triggered by mouse?
To your 2nd question: "How can I differentiate between select events that are triggered by keyboard with the ones triggered by mouse?"
The event object in the jQuery UI events would include a .originalEvent, the original event it wrapped. It could have been wrapped multiple times though, such as in the case of Autocomplete widget. So, you need to trace up the tree to get the original event object, then you can check for the event type:
$("#reportname").autocomplete({
select: function(event, ui) {
var origEvent = event;
while (origEvent.originalEvent !== undefined)
origEvent = origEvent.originalEvent;
if (origEvent.type == 'keydown')
$("#reportfind").click();
},
...
});
Thanks to #William Niu and firebug, I found that the select event parameter 'ui' contains the complete selected value: ui.item.value. So instead of depending on jquery UI to change the text of the textbox, which didn't happen if the user clicks with mouse, I just pick up the selected value from 'ui':
$("#reportname").autocomplete({
select: function (event, ui) {
var reportname = ui.item.value
var thelinks = $('a.large:contains("' + reportname + '")').filter(
function (i) { return (this.text === reportname) })
window.location = thelinks[0].href
};
})
I tested it in all version of IE (inlcuding 9) and always ended up with an empty input-control after I selected the item using the mouse. This caused some headaches. I even went down to the source code of jQuery UI to see what happens there but didn’t find any hints either.
We can do this by setting a timeout, which internally queues an event in the javascript-engine of IE. Because it is guaranteed, that this timeout-event will be queued after the focus event (this has already been triggered before by IE itself).
select: function (event, ui) {
var label = ui.item.label;
var value = ui.item.value;
$this = $(this);
setTimeout(function () {
$('#txtBoxRole').val(value);
}, 1);
},
Had the same issue / problem.
Jquery: 1.11.1
UI: 1.11.0
Question: Do you use bassistance jquery validte plugin simultanously?
If positive: update this to a newest version or just disable it for tests.
I updated from 1.5.5 to 1.13.0
Helped for me. Good luck!
I recently encountered the exact same problem (autocomplete items not clickable, keyboard events working).
Turned out that in my case the answer was not at all JS related. The autocomplete UI was not clickable simply because it was lacking an appropriate value for the z-index CSS property.
.ui-autocomplete {
z-index: 99999; /* adjust this value */
}
That did the trick.
This may be a bit farshot, but I had a similar situation where selecting an autocomplete value left the input field empty. The answer was to ignore the "change" events (as those were handled by default) and replace them with binds to "autocompletechange" events.
The "change" event gets triggered before the value from autocomplete is in the field => the field had "empty" value when handling the normal "change" event.
// ignore the "change" event for the field
var item = $("#"+id); // JQuery for getting the element
item.bind("autocompletechange", function(event, ui) { [call your handler function here] }
I was facing a similar problem. I wanted to submit the form when the user clicked on an option. But the form got submitted even before the value of the input could be set. Hence on the server side the controller got a null value.
I solved it using a modified version of William Niu's answer.

I had the same issue, mouse click was not selecting the item which was clicked.My code was supposed to make an ajax call to fetch the data as per the selection item from autocomplete source.
Previous code: mouse click not working.
select: function(event, ui) {
event.preventDefault();
for(i= 0; i< customer.length; i++)
if(document.getElementById('inputBox').value == customer[i].name)
{
$.ajax({
call
})
Changed code :mouse click working
select: function(event, ui) {
// event.preventDefault();
for(i= 0; i< customer.length; i++)
// if(document.getElementById('inputBox').value == customer[i].fields.name)
if(ui.item.value == customer[i].name)
{
$.ajax({
call
})
After inspecting the code in the developer tools console, I noticed there were two list items added. I removed the pairing <li></li> from my response code and oh yeah, the links worked
I also added this function as the click event:
$("#main-search").result(function ()
{
$("#main-search").val("redirecting...."), window.location.href = $("#main-search").attr("href").match(/page=([0-9]+)/)[1];
})
This works and you can test it here: Search for the term dress -->
