I took the JQuery UI dialog form sample from JQuery UI website.
Since I wanted that, once the dialog is opened and the form is displayed, that pressing the key submits the form, I added the following in the onReady() :
$.extend($.ui.dialog.prototype.options, {
open: function() {
var $this = $(this);
// focus first button and bind enter to it
$this.parent().find('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:first').focus();
$this.keypress(function(e) {
if( e.keyCode == 13 ) {
$this.parent().find('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:first').click();
return false;
}
});
}
});
This does perfectly the trick (I mean the click() is triggered when it has to), but the following occurs :
When the form is first submited through a press on the key, the submission is performed once.
If I reopen the dialog, and submit it again with a press on the key, the form is submitted twice.
If I reopen the dialog, and submit it again with a press on the key, the form is submitted three times, and so on...
This can be tested with the following fiddle :

Let me add that doing so by clicking on the dedicated "Submit" button works properly, this fails only when pressing the key is involved.
Any ideas ?
Thank you !
Because since you're assigning this on "open" and your buttons are "closing" the dialog.
When this gets called though:
$('something').dialog('close');
doesn't actually remove the element, it just hides it. So the next time you click to open up a "new" dialog, you're really just showing the first one again. However the "open" event is getting fired again every time it's opened, which is adding a new keypress handler onto it.
Here's the fiddle. I actually write out to the console an array of the current handlers on that element. You'll see everytime you open the dialog that there is another keypress handler.

I have a web page with several forms. Only one is visible at a time, depending on state.
On one form, pressing the enter key appears to be causing a reload of the page rather than triggering a click event for the form's button.
I have a lot of javascript, primarily because I need client side interaction with mailchimp. Because of that, I have disabled the form's action= html and have instead created a javascript function to handle the click. It works fine if you click on the button.
I have also assigned a listener for the sole field in the form:
var input = document.getElementById ("new-email-address");
input.addEventListener ("keyup", function(event)
{
if (event.keyCode === 13)
{
event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("new-email-address").click();
}
});
Yet, when I click the enter key, the $(document).ready (function() executes. It's possible something else is executing beforehand, but, if so, I haven't found a way to discover that.
What could be causing this behavior ?
It turns out that the enter key is being handled at the form level. To disable that, I added this code for each form:
$("#the-form").keypress(function(e)
{
if (e.which == 13) // Enter key
return false;
});
I have a modal popup that appears whenever an editor tries to save a component with some values (a date field in the past in this case).
In this popup I show the editor a few options (very similar to the default "Open Shared Item" dialog) and an OK/Cancel button combo. On Cancel I fire the "cancel" event and the editor goes back to the editing screen, all good here. On "OK" I want to change the value of the field to match whatever the editor selected, then save.
I tried to use an approach with FieldBuilder and the sample Boris mentioned on this other topic but I can't get to the field from my popup dialog.
Any suggestions on how I can go and modify the xml of the item (could be also a page) from a modal popup?
EDIT: Code used in getControlForFieldName
function getControlForFieldName(name) {
var fieldBuilder = $display.getView().properties.controls.fieldBuilder;
var fieldsContainer = fieldBuilder.properties.input;
var fieldsNode = fieldsContainer.getElement();
var fieldContainer = $dom.getFirstElementChild(fieldsNode);
while (fieldContainer) {
var labelNode = $dom.getFirstElementChild(fieldContainer);
var fieldNode = $dom.getNextElementSibling(labelNode);
var control = fieldNode.control;
if (control.getFieldName() == name) {
return control;
}
fieldContainer = $dom.getNextElementSibling(fieldContainer);
}
}
EDIT #2
After Frank's advice, and some help from Jaime & Frank offline, I got it to work as follows:
The popup is called from a Command Extension (Save & Close in my case)
The command.js specifies an event handler that gets called on "submit" (== OK was pressed)
$evt.addEventHandler(p.dialogPopup, "submit",
this.getDelegate(this._onPopupSubmit));
In my popup I am passing the selected item (it's a keyword ID) to the event handler:
this.fireEvent("submit", { id: select.options[select.selectedIndex].value });
and now back in the event handler _onPopupSubmit(e) I just read e.data.id, load this keyword, get properties like ID & Title, and update the metadata of the item using item.setMetadata("new metadata with updated values").
Simple :)
Your code runs in a popup, so any references you make to global variables will be taken from the popup window.
So when you get the fieldBuilder:
var fieldBuilder = $display.getView().properties.controls.fieldBuilder;
$display is a reference to a global variable. So this actually looks for the FieldBuilder in the popup window (which doesn't have one).
To get the FieldBuilder of the Component window, you can get it from the opener:
var fieldBuilder = opener.$display.getView().properties.controls.fieldBuilder;
You might want to consider actually passing the updated value to either a callback function or with a (custom) event though, since that makes your popup less dependent on opener. trick.
How to disable Save As dialog while pressing Ctrl+S
Description: I am developing one web application.Here When i am going to form submitting using "Ctrl+S",In Firefox before submitting "save As dialog" will open.How to disable save As dialog in Firefox.
You can accomplish this by handling the window's onkeypress event to check whether the CTRL key and S are depressed, and if so, canceling the event from by calling preventDefault() on the event object:
window.onkeypress = function(event) {
if (event.charCode === 115 && event.ctrlKey) {
event.preventDefault();
// your code here....
alert("'Save As' dialog suppressed!");
}
};
Note that the keypress event may behave differently in different browsers. This did work in FireFox, however.
I am developing an web application. In this i provided a functionality means "autocomplete textbox". In this control, I need to show up 4 columns whenever user press keys in textbox, i need to collect these keys and send it to the service which will give us result as xml. then i convert xml to dataset and binded with datagird. for this i used jquery. after the result displayed ( i mean the result in datagrid which is placed in div), then i need to hide the div when the user clicks outside of the div or press escape key...
for this i used onblur event. but, when i click on the result then, i could not fire the click event for the div..
here is my jquery events...
function showList() {
if(document.getElementById("txt1").value.length > 3) {
$("#divList").hide("slow");
$("#divLoading").show();
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
url : "ajaxServerPage.aspx?streetname=" + document.getElementById("txt1").value,
success : function(responseText) {
$("#divLoading").hide();
$("#divList").show();
$('#divList').html(responseText);
//add button click events for buttons which are placed in table
$("#dataGridStreet .rowStyle").click(function(e) {
//Open_ModifyPopup($(this).attr("id"));
clickedRow($(this));
});
} // function(responseText)
});
}
}
How should I do this?
Thanks
Why reinvent the wheel: How about using a plugin to do it for you?
I have a webform and i want to detect if F5 button was pressed or if the page was refreshed. I know about postback but it is not what i'm looking for. I have a gridview that loads in a modal popup when a button is clicked and a parameter's value is set for the gridview. When refresh is hit and if the modal popup button was previously clicked the modal popup is visible right after refresh. I want to detect if the page is refreshed to prevent this. any ideas? I thought to try Override but I'm not exactly sure how to use it. I tried Control.ModifierKeys but I don't have access to ModifierKeys.
Pressing F5 or physically clicking the browser refresh behaves similarly to navigating away from the page. This is captured in the event window.onunload. Try the snippet example below:
window.onbeforeunload = function (evt) {
var message = 'Are you sure you want to leave?';
if (typeof evt == 'undefined') {
evt = window.event;
}
if (evt) {
evt.returnValue = message;
}
return message;
}
This will capture the refresh and allow you to do something or prompt the user.
Reemember that hotkeys are processed in the client side in the browser. The easiest way to implement this is through javascript.
