i'm trying to code form where you can navigate inside with a next button ( who will hide the current fieldset and show the next one ) and a previous one ( who will hide the current fieldset and show the previous one ). Those two input have a onclick function that will change the fieldset className to active from inactive depending on which fieldset we are. I want to change the next button input type when the user reach the final fieldset so he can submit, but it seems that it automatically trigger the submit event, which means when the user get to the final fieldset, he cant fill any input because the form will submit automatically.
So here's the code :
//When the last fieldset show
if (fieldset[4].className == "active") {
var next = document.getElementById('next');
next.onclick='';
next.type="submit";
next.value="Submit";
next.id='submit';
}
Is there something that i should add to stop the submit auto-firing ?
I've tested your code in JSFiddle and it works good. It means there is something that trigger submit. May be you can post whole javascript in that page and then I can check what is the issue.
var next = document.getElementById("next");
//next.type="submit";
next.setAttribute('type', 'submit'); // I prefer using .setAttribute method
next.onclick='';
next.value="Submit";
next.id='submit';
<form>
<input name="q" value="hello">
<input type="text" id="next">
</form>
I think instead of trying to "hack" the existing button and turn it into the submit, you could just have two buttons, one "next" and another one "submit-button" (hidden initially), once the user advances to the final step, you can hide the "next" button and show the "submit-button" button.
It can be something like this:
//When the last fieldset show
if (fieldset[4].className == "active") {
// hide the next button
document.getElementById('next').style.display='none';
// show the submit button
document.getElementById('submit-button').style.display='';
}
And it would be not complex to make these buttons to appear exactly on the same place with css, so the user will not notice the replacement.
There are browsers who do not allow you to change the type for security reasons. So you will often have problems with it. Just switch between two inputs as boris mentioned (or replace it completely). But to answer your question:
You can catch the autosubmit with another on submit event. First on click mark the button with a class or data attribute like "preventSubmit". Within the submit event check if this class or data attribute exists and prevent the submit (f.ex with prevent default()) and remove the class that all wanted submits by users clicks are not stopped.
Why not just add an event to submit the form you are currently on:
if (fieldset[4].className == "active") {
var next = document.getElementById('next');
next.onclick=(function() { document.forms[0].submit(); });
//next.type="submit";
next.value="Submit";
next.className="MySubmit"; // try to style it as a button for better UX
//next.id='submit';
}

I have a v-combobox component in my app. I have it to where I can type something in the input then #blur a check happens to see if the typed Item exists in the list or not. If it does not exist a modal opens up asking the user if they want to add it to the list.
I have it if the user clicks yes it is added to the list the problem I am having is if they click cancel and the dialog is closed focus should go back to the combobx input
When I try and set the focus I get the blue animation bar but no input cursor in the input of the combo box
I have set up a codesandbox example of my issue
CodeSandbox Example of Issue
I was wondering If i could get some help or pointers on why Im not getting the full focus to be able to type after clicking cancel on the dialog .
You can try to use $nextTick like this:
closeConfirmationDialog() {
// const comboBox = this.$refs[this.forInput];
// comboBox.$el.querySelector("input").focus();
this.showDialog = false;
this.cancelDialog = true;
this.$nextTick(() => {
this.$refs.categories.focus();
});
}
I have an XPage with 2 custom controls. The 1st custom control has a repeat control and the second is used just as a dialog box.
The user can delete a row from the repeat control by clicking on a delete link. then i use rowVar.getDocument.getNoteID and i delete the document.
What i want is to ask the user first: "are you sure you want to delete it?"
I used "window.confirm()" in CSJS but i dont like the default prompt box. So then i used dojo dialog box but i cant use rowVar of repeat control in it to get the documentId.
Currently i have code in the OK button of the dialog but i want to use OK/Cancel buttons only as a true/false and execute the code in the main custom control. Is there a way of passing the value of the button back to the caller?
I have done this in many ways. Basically, write the information you need to find the document to delete to a viewScope variable. Then create a stand alone event handler that is called from the OK or Cancel buttons of the dialog.
So the eventHandler looks like this post by Jeremey Hodge:
<xp:eventHandler
event="onfubar"
id="eventHandler1"
submit="false">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:
// write the ssjs to save the doc base on viewScope parameters
}]]></xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
Then the dialog buttons look something like this (based on the Mastering XPages book and many other sources):
XSP.partialRefreshGet("#{id:eventHandler1}", {
params : {action :"OK" },
onComplete : function () {
// do something else if needed
},
onError : function() {
alert("no soup for you!");
}
});
I have one View and in which there 3 partial views are rendering.
And there is one Save button on the parent view(Index,in which the partial views are rendering).This Save button is common for all of the partial views.
My problem is, i am not getting the way in which i can check is there any model validation is firing on any of the partial views while click on Save button.
I used below check on Save button click :-
var status = $('form').valid();
But its not checking the validations of all the partial views.Its just checking the validations in that particular partial view in which i am clicking the Save button.
I got the solution for that.We can simply check the length of "input-validation-error" class on form's submit event.Just like that :-
if($(".input-validation-error").length == 0)
{
//there is no validation on form.
}else
{
//validation is firing somewhere.
}
When a page has a search box with multiple tabs, one of the tabs is always selected; either the default tab is selected or the user has changed the tab. In either case the search input box of the selected tab should always have the keyboard focus so the user can just start typing their keywords.
Example: search box on http://www.lib.umd.edu/
Do you know how I could get the focus to be in the input box when a different tab is clicked? I got it to work on the first tab, but when I click another tab, the focus is lost.
The script I am using:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
document.forms[''].elements[''].focus();
</script>
$(document).ready(function () {
setTimeout(function () {
// focus on the txtenclude text area first visible and enabled input field or textarea
$(":input:visible:enabled").each(function () {
if ($(this).is('textarea')) {
$(this).focus();
return false;
}
});
}, 1000);
Your code snippet
To set the focus on a certain element you have to specify which element should receive the focus. In your snippet this specification is missing:
document.forms[''].elements[''].focus();
If you want to you can use this line: document.getElementById("DuringSearch").focus();
DuringSearch is the id of the input element that should receive the focus <input id="DuringSearch" type="text">
The problem that needs to be solved is to change the id based on the tab that was clicked.
There are several ways to achieve this. In a previous post is used an attribte named data-tab.
Example to wire up tabs and focus to input
To attach an event handler to a click on a tab you can do the follwing (using jQuery) on document.ready:
// add event handler for click on tab
$("#tabs li").click(function () {
loadTabs(this);
setFocusOnInput(this);
return false;
});
If you click on a tab the attached event fires and executes the 2 functions: loadTabs and setFocusOnInput.
To set the focus you need to know the id of that input-box. In my exmaple i am using an attribute data-tab
<li data-tab="Before">
Before
</li>
In my example i use the following function:
function setFocusOnInput(_this){
var tab = $(_this).attr("data-tab");
var searchId = tab + "Search"
console.log("_this:", _this);
document.getElementById(searchId).focus();
}
See more explanations on my previous post.
Could you elaborate what you want to know. Do you want to know how to wire it up in general or how to do it in a specific case?
I have a Dojo form that does not contain a submit button. Instead, I added an onkeypress handler to calls a method when Enter is pressed. The problem I am having is that when I hit enter before blurring off the current field, the _process method thinks that field is empty.
Or in other words: type in field1. hit tab. type in field2. hit enter. field2 is blank unless i click off the field or shift-tab back.
Any ideas?
dojo.connect(dijit.byId("fkrform"),"onKeyPress",function(e) {
if (e.keyCode == dojo.keys.ENTER) {
_process();
}
and the method it calls:
function _process()
{
var field1 = dijit.byId("field1").value;
var field2 = dijit.byId("field2").value;
alert(username);
alert(password);
...do stuff...
}
The fields are of dojoType: dijit.form.TextBox, and the form is: dijit.form.Form
Use dijit.byId('field1').get('value') instead of directly try to access the property "value". In your example you saved the value in the variable field1 and field2 and in the alert you use the variable username and password could be the answer why you don't get anything. But you still should use the get method to get a property instead of directly access the property.
When you press "Enter" your form will submit. So you need to connect to the "onSubmit" event on the form, instead of onkeyPress or onKeyUp.
The first example i created prints the value of the input box on every key someone pressed in the console.
http://jsfiddle.net/a8FHg/
But what you really wanted was hooking into the submit. I modified the example. The new example connects to "onSubmit" and creates an alert box with the text of the user input.
http://jsfiddle.net/a8FHg/1/
For completness if jsfiddle doesn't work some day. You JavaScript should looks like this.
dojo.ready(function(){
var form = dijit.byId('form');
var box = dijit.byId('box');
var submit = function(event) {
dojo.stopEvent(event);
alert("User input was " + box.get('value'));
};
dojo.connect(form, 'onSubmit', submit);
});
Assuming your form in your HTML has the id form and your box have the id box.
