I have an Accordion Panel whose summary is a search field:
When the content of the search field change, the panel shall be opened and show search result.
It happens that the events in the search field pop-up to the the tab that consequently opens and closes the tab when space or enter keys are pressed. I tried to wrap the summary in a special div that prevents pop-up:
class MyDiv extends Div {
public MyDiv(Component... components) {
super(components);
getElement().executeJs("addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {console.log('pop up prevented'); e.stopPropagation();});");
}
}
...
accordion.add(searchAccordionPanel = new AccordionPanel(new MyDiv(searchField),
searchItemsPage = new MenuItemsPage(this)));
And in fact I see the events intercepted ("pop up prevented" on console) but for some reason the accordion still responds to keypress. I have also tried keyup and keypress events, same result.
Maybe Vaadin transmit another event? Can anybody suggest a solution?
By default TextField is in eager value change mode, i.e. it emits value change after each key stroke. This does not fit in your use case. You can use textField.setValueChangeMode(ValueChangeMode.LAZY) for example. Then TextField will emits value change after user has paused typing. There are also couple of other modes, pick the one that fits the use case the best. Some times it requires trial and error.
I'm trying to complete a happy path e-commerce payment test but I cant seem to click on the nested element for credit card to be honest I'm not entirely sure which is the clickable element.
Any help to get this working would be appreciated.
When inputting forms, you typically want to interact with input and select elements. In this case, you can see that the visible input field is a radio button - ie <input type="radio">.
You access radio buttons using the radio method and select it by using the set method:
browser.radio(id: 'cc-payment').set
The element you want to click is the input with type radio. You should be able to do something like:
driver.find_element(:css, "input[id='cc-payment'][value='creditCard']").click
I'm curious if clicking on the parent item would resolve.
#browser.input(id: 'cc-payment').parent.click
If the div registers the click and sets the input then this might work. You should be able to manually verify this beahviour by clicking outside of the radial and seeing if it selects.
I want to create a dynamic action, that will set a value to an item on the page, when the value of another item (autocomplete text field) is set.
So the proccess goes like this:
Click on the autocomplete field
type some letters
choose one of the suggested values
I cannot find an event that will be executed when the selection of one of the suggested values happens. This way, I cannot see how I can read the value of the autocomplete field, once a suggested value is selected.
The change event doesn't fit my needs, it doesn't execute when one suggested value is selected.
I had the same problem, found this link: https://community.oracle.com/thread/2130716?tstart=0 and modified my dynamic action as follows to get the desired behaviour:
Event = Custom
Custom Event = result
From the link:
the problem seems to be the default behavior of the browser. When you
enter some text into the autocomplete and the list is displayed, the
focus is still in the text field. Also if you use the keyboard cursors
to pick an entry the focus will still be in the textfield. That's why
the change event of the textfield doesn't fire. It only fires if you
leave the field.
On the other side if you pick an entry with the mouse, the browser
will remove the focus from the text field for a moment (before the
JavaScript code puts the focus back), because you clicked outside of
the field. But that's enough so that the browser fires the change
event.
I had a look into documentation of the underlaying jQuery Autocomplete
widget
(http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/) and
there is actually an event called "result" which can be captures if an
entry is selected from the drop down list.
Try "Lose Focus" as event. It will trigger your dynamic action when you leave the autocomplete field, i.e. your curosr is moved to another field.
This probably depends on the APEX version you are using.
In case of 18.2, because the underlying component is based on Oracle JET's "inputSearch" component, you need to use following configure to capture the select change event for text with autocomplete:
event: Custom
custom event: ojupdate
Reference:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E87657_01/jet/reference-jet/oj.ojInputSearch.html#event:optionChange
I turned on the browser console, then turned ApEx Developer toolbar debug, and found that, on the contrary, the "Change" event does fire upon user clicking with the mouse on one of the selections. However if the user uses keyboard (type a few letters to narrow the list down, then use down arrow key to arrive at desired value, then press enter) then the Change event does not fire, just as you say.
Moreover: even when you do get the value sent back via mouse-click initiated Change event, the value isn't the autocomplete's complete and valid value, but instead the possibly partial and wrong-case value just as typed by the user. I.e., the the change event's submission of the value precedes the autocomplete's substitution.
The answer that #VincentDeelen gave is the best alternative that I can see, although it doesn't quite give that "instantantenous synchronicity" feel. You could maybe use the "Key Down" event, but be careful with that. You could get a really excessive amount of web and db traffic as each and every keystroke (including corrections) results in another firing of the dynamic action.
Testing environment: ApEx 4.2.3 with Chrome 33 as well as IE 9.
p.s. This might be worth a mention to the ApEx development team as well.
It's not really ideal, but you could use onfocus(). I'm looking for the same thing you are, I think, a custom event that fires when the selection of a suggested value happens. I haven't found it yet though and that is my work-around for now. It will run whatever function you've created for this initially with no value, but once the selection is made it will return focus and run the function again with the right value. Like I said, not ideal but it works.
Jeffrey Kemp is right. You can set it up through a dynamic action using the custom event, result. You can also register it on page load using document.getElementById("{id}").addEventListener("result", {function}); or $("#{id}").result( function( event, data, formatted ) { //something here });.
Oracle apex 19 now added a "component event" when you create a dynamic action called "Update [Text Field with autocomplete]" - this action is fired when you select a value from the list, but not when you leave the field (similar to adding the custom event "ojupdate").
I have used webshims for html5 form validation in a single page app with multiple pagelets(divs). The forms are not submitted but local javascript is invoked after each conversation and collected data is posted .
Next I iterate over all the fields and reset the values.
Then I take the new user back to the first pagelet having first form for the new conversation. This time even after filling the correct values the border does not turn green.
Note:
However when we select the field and click outside the field without filling it. and then after filling the correct data border turns green.
However when we tried to achieve it programmatically iterating over each field resetting it and using javascript focus method, that did not do the trick.
I am sure I must be missing some thing. would be able to point out what.

I'm not sure, what you want to achieve. I would need to see some code. If you change the value programmatically you can update the validation ui with the event refreshvalidityui on the form field. If you want to reset the ui, you can either trigger a reset event on the form or resetvalidityui on the form field
$('input').val('foo').trigger('refreshvalidityui');
or
$('input').val('foo').trigger('resetvalidityui');
or
$('form').trigger('reset');
Please let me know, if this helps.
how i can get (if)any text is selected in textbox and i want to get it in any variable of javascript.... specifically for Mozilla firefox...?
the above description is not enough so let me give completely the definition.. My Extension of firefox is an Extension that double clicks any word from the webpage and finds its possible meaning from database... so user can even write anything in Textbox and double click the same for finding its meaning.. so please do suggest any way to complete selection from textbox's selected text....? in addition i am already using dblclick event handler so dont suggest that solution.... Also the problem is that the web page can be any site's webpage so even the textarea or any control is specific tho that page how could i slice the text from it than ...Thanxx in advance....
You can use document.getSelection() which returns a selection object containing the currently highlighted text in the document. However, calling it at the right time can be tricky. You can't do it from an onclick handler on a button, for instance, because by the time the onclick handler fires, the selection's focus has been removed from the text and moved to the button.
Use the selectionStart and selectionEnd properties e.g.
var selectedText = textbox.value.slice(textbox.selectionStart, textbox.selectionEnd);
