I hope its OK to post this here... I saw other posts regarding the use of the TAB so I figured I'd post a new item instead of commenting in one of the older issues; especially since they have been closed..?
Essentially, I would like to change two things.1. Stop giving focus to the cloned 'hint' node. 2. Be able to move beyond the txtInput field after I have accepted a value; using the TAB.
This could be accomplished by:
Adding this attribute def.
txtHint.tabIndex = '-1'; // won't work in all browsers...http://fluidproject.org/blog/2008/01/09/getting-setting-and-removing-tabindex-values-with-javascript/
Adding this var before the keyDownHandler
var lastKeyHandled = ''; // see if stmt below
And replacing this:
if (keyCode == 9) { // for tabs we need to ensure that we override the default behaviour: move to the next focusable HTML-element
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
if (txtHint.value.length == 0) {
rs.onTab(); // tab was called with no action.
// users might want to re-enable its default behaviour or handle the call somehow.
}
}
With this:
if (keyCode == 9) { // for tabs we need to ensure that we override the default behaviour: move to the next focusable HTML-element
if(keyCode != lastKeyHandled){ // if the tab was the last keyCode handled, allow movement to next tab index item
if ( e.preventDefault ) e.preventDefault();
//e.preventDefault(); IE Error
if ( e.stopPropagation ) e.stopPropagation();
//e.stopPropagation(); IE Error
if (txtHint.value.length == 0) {
rs.onTab(); // tab was called with no action.
// users might want to re-enable its default behaviour or handle the call somehow.
}
}
}
lastKeyHandled = keyCode; //
