Mobile Form Fields - Losing Focus - iphone

I'm developing a mobile/web application. When I view form fields in a mobile browser, like iPhone's safari or even the chrome mobile app, I can't lose focus on form fields unless I press another form element or "Done" on the keyboard..
I've even completely stripped my code down to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
and I still can't lose focus (in mobile browsers) of the text field by pressing elsewhere!
Anyone have any ideas?

Try:
document.body.addEventListener("click", function(evt) {
var nodeName = evt.target.nodeName.toLowerCase();
if (nodeName !== "input" && nodeName !== "textarea" && nodeName !== "select") {
document.activeElement.blur();
}
});

I had the same problem and I found this hack works
document.body.firstElementChild.tabIndex = 1
This makes the first element in the body focusable thus when you click "outside" the input it loses focus. At the same time you don't see any visual glitches on that focused element because there is not style defined (unless your first body child element is something other than div)

Office.context.document.url does not give updated name/url

Repro steps -
1- Create a basic task pane apps for Office for word
2 - use following HTML
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetFileURL() {
console.log("Url = "+Office.context.document.url);
document.getElementById("urlLabel").innerHTML = Office.context.document.url;
}
function Reset() {
document.getElementById("urlLabel").innerHTML = "";
}
</script>
</head>
<body class="ms-font-l ms-landing-page">
<input id="btn1" type="button" onclick="GetFileURL()" value="Get File URL "></input><br>
<input id="btn2" type="button" onclick="Reset()" value="Reset"></input><br>
<p id="urlLabel">File Url Displayed here</p>
<!--</div>-->
</div>
</body>
</html>
3- Use the following code on a button click to get a URL name visible at the top
function GetFileURL() {
console.log("Url = " + Office.context.document.url);
document.getElementById("urlLabel").innerHTML = Office.context.document.url;
}
4- Load the Office app in Word online document
5- Edit in Word Online
6- The document name is visible at the top in form of the title
example - Sample -Saved
7- If you click and get the URL (document name) as visible
Now if you change the name directly in the title bar, and then click on the add-in button, you still see the old URL
If you reload the document, then and load the add-in again, then you see the correct updated URL.
I am trying to understand if there is a way by which we can get hold of the new document name immediately without the need to reload the document.
Any pointers on this behavior will really help us move forward
Found the answer to this - we need to use

How to Show modal popup in mvc3?

I need to show details on the popup. I don't have any idea how to do this. I need to do it in a MVC3 Razor view.
my Controller-
public ViewResult ViewDetail(Int32 id)
{
var q = from p in db.accs
where p.id == id
select p;
return View(q.FirstOrDefault());
}
my View-
<td># Html.ActionLink("View Detail", "ViewDetail", new { id=item.id }) </td>
use the Jquery UI ModalForm to show up your data.
Say you want to display the following in Modal pop-up of jquery .
<div id="displayinmodal">
<input type="file" id="file" name="file" />
<input type="submit" id="submitdata" value="Upload" />
</div>
Now write your jquery like this.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#displayinmodal").dialog({ //displayinmodal is the id of the div you want to display in modal popup
autoOpen: true
});
});
</script>
That's it. you should get Modal popup in your browser.
Hope this helps
This kind of task isn't really what ASP.NET MVC / Razor does. Consider using a Javascript library like JQuery UI Dialog. You have to add several of the JQuery UI scripts to your page, but the payoff is a very simple API; you can create a basic dialog out of any HTML element (say with id mydiv) with one line of code:
$( "#mydiv" ).dialog();
And of course there are customizations and themes you can apply.
Of course, you could simply use the Javascript:
alert("my details here");
to get a basic modal popup, but I'm guessing that's not what you want.
If you want a simple no frills modal (with not much content) you can use a JavaScript alert like so:
alert('Hello from a modal popup');
If you would like a prettier option a common solution is to use jQuery UI's dialog which allows for a modal option. Take a look here for a demo of what you get with this option:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal
The code is pretty simple; the below should do everything for you using Google's CDN as a source for the scripts and stock jQuery UI CSS:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.21/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$( "#details" ).dialog({
modal: true
});
});
</script>
<div id="details">
Hello from a modal popup
</div>

Show/hide Iframe

I am using wordpress for my website and I am trying to set up my pages so that a user has to click a button to view the content. Yes, very simple with show/hide etc but the button I Want the user to click is this http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php
To display that in my page i need to use an iframe which is where it gets tricky. I have set up the show/hide code so that when a user clicks the like button (or anywhere in the iframe) it will display the content. But, no such luck!
This is my code
<div id="imagebox" style="display:none;"><?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_field('image'), 'full'); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="<?php get_the_title(get_field('image')) ?>" /> </div>
<div onclick="ShowDiv()"><iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php? href=http://www.facebook.com/BrandBang&" allowTransparency="true">
</iframe></div>
<script language="javascript">
function ShowDiv()
{
document.getElementById("imagebox").style.display = '';
}
</script>
I know that it is hard to use iframes to do what I am trying to do, but i am a total newbie when it comes to this stuff. Any help would be great!
Have tried giving your div an id="imagebox"?
EDIT:
This was already answered here.
But, I didn't realize at first sight that you're loading something in the iframe that is not coming from your own domain, so you're going to fall in a cross site scripting event, which is not allowed.
Afaik, you have to redesign some way your implementation.
For instance, you could retrieve the generated html from facebook using curl and then outputting in your own div. Something like that should work.

Attempting to move around iframe in DOM without refreshing. Chrome's "adoptNode" seems to not be working

Here is the deal (over-simplified a bit)
I'm creating an application which has "tabs", each tab can have similar content displayed as iFrames.
So, I was hoping to share those in between tab switches, since the initial request from the iFrame load is somewhat of an expensive operation.
This, however, would require me to "save" the iframe, and then re-insert on the DOM.
There are two issues with that:
1) I can't seem to be able to access the iframe's contentWindow to call into javascript functions while it's resting in memory
2) The iframe reloads whenever it's inserted in the DOM.
I read that document.adoptNode might fix issue #2, so I tried the following
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout(adoptIFrame, 500);
};
var next = ['red', 'blue']
var index = 0;
function adoptIFrame() {
var iFrame = document.adoptNode(document.getElementById("frame"));
document.getElementById(next[index++ % 2]).appendChild(iFrame)
setTimeout(adoptIFrame, 500);
}
</script>
<div id="red" style="width:500;height:500;background-color:red;">
</div>
<div id="blue" style="width:500;height:500;background-color:blue;">
<iframe src="your_url" id="frame"/>
</div>
</body>
But each time, there is a still a refresh being made on re-insertion.
Any ideas?
This is a bit late, but since I've come across the same issue, I did some research and it seems the feature has been removed from Webkit: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81590.

In IE8 enter key in a form does not work

I have a problem that in IE8 the enter does not work to submit a form. I have generated a test page to expose this problem. It seems that displaying the form in the onLoad function disables results that the enter button does not trigger a submit anymore. Is this a bug in IE8 or is it some security issue?
The code to reproduce this is:
onload = function() {
document.getElementById('test').style.display = 'block';
}
#test {
display: none;
}
<form id="test" method="get" action="javascript:alert('woei!')">
<input type="text" name="user" value="">
<input type="password" name="pw" value="">
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submit">
</form>
I have found a proper solution and wanted it to share with u guys.
Instead of using <input type="submit...>, use <button type="submit"...>.
This will do exactly the same in the other browsers (IE6-7, FF3) AND works in IE8. :)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#test {
display: none;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
onload = function() {
document.getElementById('test').style.display = 'block';
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="test" method="get" action="javascript:alert('woei!')">
<input type="text" name="user" value="" />
<input type="password" name="pw" value="" />
<button type="submit" value="submit" id="submit"></button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
$("form input").keypress(function (e) {
if(e.which === 13) {
$("form").submit();
}
});
Above is a proper fix. Ref: IE Not submitting my form on enter press of enter key?
I think everthing is much more complicated than you think...
when a form's display value is set to none with a css class or just with a style attribute on page inital, hitting the enter key in a text field does not work only if you have more than one input field with text type... if you have one text field it works fine.. if you have more than one, it does not fire form submission...
Here i made a demo...
Works Fine (Normal Form)
http://yasinergul.com/stackoverflow/ie8-enter-key-bug/one.html
Works Fine (Form hidden & set back visible but it's with one text input)
http://yasinergul.com/stackoverflow/ie8-enter-key-bug/two.html
Does Not Work (Form hidden & set back visible but it's with two text input)
http://yasinergul.com/stackoverflow/ie8-enter-key-bug/three.html
i think the best approach is to give a .hidden class to the object but not setting display:none for this css selector. you can make it hidden with jquery like
$(".hidden").hide();
as the page loads the form is shown for miliseconds but gets hidden after jquery works...
I can't say if it is a bug exactly, but I can confirm that the behavior you report has changed in IE 8... and I imagine it is probably a bug, not an deliberate change.
If the form is set with CSS display:none the default submit button behavior doesn't work.
Other browsers, including IE 7 (or even IE 8 using IE 7 standard compatibility mode) do not have problems.
I've worked around the problem myself by just using height:0px; in the CSS, then having javascript set the appropriate height when I want to show the form. Using height instead, the default enter key submit behavior seems to work normally.
Old ticket, but I'd like to add what I think is the explanation:
IE8 does the following peculiar thing: the Enter key will submit the form, but any
<input type="submit" name="MySubmitButton" value="I hope I detect THIS VALUE in POST" />
won't be sent in the POST.
IE9 changes the behavior and sends the value. Chrome has always sent the value, as far as my tests have shown.
I hope this helps...
For any future users stumbling upon this question:
What worked for me was adding a DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
A fix to what #Jitendra Pancholi suggested- now it submits only the form we want, not all of them
$("form input").keypress(function (e) {
if(e.which === 13) {
$(this.form).submit();
}
});
I tried it in IE8 and it works for me. You have to make sure that part of the form has focus though.
Javascript has a focus function that you can use to set the focus if that's what you need.
var textbox = document.getElementById("whatever name input box's id will be");
if(textbox) textbox.focus();
You may want to add a onkeyup event to your input boxes so that if you hit an enter in the input box then it will also submit.
As CodePartizan mentioned, you need the focus on the button otherwise, so if you tab over to the button, or click on it, it seems to work for me also.
I believe Yasin has got the point.
I just had the same problem: multiple text fields within a form whose visibility is "hidden".
My workaround (to prevent the form from flashing) is to set the form opacity to 0 in the css, and then customise its style settings with jQuery on document ready.
I believe this is not something to fix with JS.
Yeah, I was bitten by this bug too today. I found this workaround, though (diff from the OP):
<script type="text/javascript">
onload = function() {
document.getElementById('test').style.display = 'block';
+ document.getElementById('test').innerHTML =
+ document.getElementById('test').innerHTML;
}
</script>
</head>
Simply recreate the contents of the form from the contents of itself. Yikes. But it works. (Famous last words...)
This works for me in IE8. I had this problem when using only one input field.

I had the same issue with ie and none of the solutions helped until I read this:
http://www.rachaelarnold.com/dev/archive/enter-key-form-submission-bug#ixzz2Y5Zwgj2k
my form only had one input field....duh! :)
Found a working solution.
Make the submit button invisible instead of using display:none;
input#submit {
color: transparent;
background: transparent;
border: 0px;
}
