I am building a little registration page that is going to be accessed via an iPad at a sales office as a kiosk. When I first received the page from the web design company I noticed that the way they set it up was the labels of the input fields appear inside the field (like a watermark). The watermark is cleared out once you focus on the field and then restored if there is no value when you blur off the field.
I noticed that they had a couple password fields in the page that was showing the words PASSWORD and RETYPE PASSWORD in them. I don't want people's password exposed in the Sales Office, however changing the fields to type password means that the watermark labels become masked.
Since they were using jQuery to do the watermark in the input fields, I found another jQuery solution that would swap out the TEXT input field for a PASSWORD input field on focus. When I tested it on my PC in Safari it worked like a charm. However when I was testing the page with my iPhone I noticed that the jQuery field swap on focus only works if I click on the field with my finger. If I am using the on screen keyboard and clicking NEXT to get the field, then the field doesn't get swapped and the on screen keyboard goes away. I have to physically click the field to get the swap to fire. Is there some other even that I can use to trigger the swap instead of focus?
$('#txtRetypePassword-clear').focus(function() {
$('#txtRetypePassword-clear').hide();
$('#txtRetypePassword-password').show();
$('#txtRetypePassword-password').focus();
});
Of course as soon as I posted, I did a little more reading on DiveIntoHTML5.ep.io and saw that HTML5 supports "placeholders" so I thought to myself, I wonder if you can put a placeholder on a PASSWORD input field. YOU CAN!
So I get to rip out all that jQuery because HTML5 supports everything the page was trying to do!

I am developing an application for the desktop with Flutter. I had to implement the form with multiple input fields. I really need to make the whole focus flow and I have used the FocusNode class to move from one input field to another. Everything is based on the submit event, so when I hit the Enter button on the keyboard it moves to the next field. It is pretty ok, but I have to change it from Enter key to Tab key which is more natural for the desktop users. Have you got any idea what can I do here to achieve such a result? Is there a way to trigger the submit event by different key (than Enter)?
This bug is for making it easy to bind keys to actions. Once that's complete, one of the intended use cases is to add tab support for form field navigation. There's been a lot of work in that area recently, so I wouldn't recommend putting time into working around this yourself.
I'm trying to create a simple test program in Gtkada to bring up a Dialog box upon leaving a specific textbox. I have managed this part, but am having problems resetting the focus back to the original textbox when the Dialog's 'Ok' button is pressed.
The general idea is that the user enters something into a textbox and when they click/tab out of the box (focus out event), some simple Alphanumeric validation is done. If the validation fails, the user is warned with a Dialog, and focus is returned to the textbox they entered erroneous data into.
All I am after is a simple example of how to set the focus back to a textbox when you close the Dialog box which clicking out of the textbox originally called. In Gtkada... I'm using version 2.2 of Gtkada. I can't change the version of Gtkada, or use a different program or language!
Much obliged!

The most elegant solution, GUI-wise, is to do the validation on a leave_event on each input field, and if that fails display an error message (in red or some such) next to the field. But do not display a dialog or force the focus to a specific field, that would interfere with what the user is trying to do (imagine: I enter an incorrect email address, press tab, get the dialog which I do not read (like most users), start typing my name for the next field, but since the focus went back to the email address, I have no overridden that one and lost my previous input).
If you still want to grab the focus, Gtk.Widget.Grab_Focus is the procedure you want.
I am doing a web application and notice one thing that happens only in Firefox.
I have a form. I am able to enter a string in an input field.
If I position my mouse in the address bar and hit the enter key, the field shows its original value (blank or an existing value). However, if I enter a new value in the field, and then, without submiting the form, click the page reload button (in the right-side of the address bar), the new value shows there (not the original value).
This does not happen in IE or Chrome that I tested.
Does anyone know why?
Thanks and regards.
Imagine you spent 3 hours writing something and you somehow reloaded page, everything can be lost, so Firefox auto fill these fields for you. It helps you to not loose data.
Sometimes reloading page keeps some relationship with previous state, while re-getting - not. Example you submit form. Re-get will load page again with default values, reloading will try to resubmit form.
I have this task as a homework for interview - to test the webpage of popular site. Got a pop up form with some text in the fields. The task is to check is there are fields has been changed.
The page constructed that way, doesent matter if the data changed, popup window just closed with no additional text about it. I have no idea how to deal with it. Is there any commands in selenium checking, if the form has been sent?

This is a PopUp changing profile window. It is shown below with my translations as the red font.
It is obvious, when this window opens, some values are already in the textfields (that is ur name/surname that u've entered before).
When u press the save button, this page checks if the data been changed since this window been opened (did u really changed anything).
The html code of "save" button has been shown on the pic2. U can see javaScript listener on the save button. There are somewhere must be a JS code, that checks if the data been changed and sends the form, and canceling the form sending, if there's no changing.
My Goal is to check using selenium, if the form has been sent.
I need to focus a text input into the Facebook login popup. I am using a virtual keyboard to simulate a physical one, but when I click a key, the text input lose focus and the letter is not written into the field.
How could I maintain the focus in the text input?
I'm not sure if creating your own virtual keyboard is a smart idea since all mobiles already have one in there, you just need to set useSoftKeyboard in Flex.
Also, you can always remove focusability to your components by setting focusEnabled and hasFocusableChildren to false.
I finally came to another solution... Using getElementsByTagName('theElementID'), I could get a reference to the textInputs in the browser, and I could modify its attributes...
For example,
emailStringObject =this.html.htmlLoader.window.document.getElementById('email');
emailStringObject.value="example#correo.com"
