asptoday_discuss thread: Simple Form action


Message #1 by "Patrick Ames" <patrick00@n...> on Mon, 3 Dec 2001 21:38:35
Ok do not all laugh at once....

Can i heck for the life of me get a cursor to appear pre placed in the 

text box on a form when a page is loaded. 

IE   User loads page with the form on with just one text box. I need the 

cursor to be in the text box so all they need do is type and it will 

appear in the text box, without them having to click in the box first. 

Suggestions would be helpfull Even if it is to tell the people to get off 

their backsides and click in the box lol

Thanks

Patrick

This easy "nice-to-have" puts the cursor directly into the first input

field (first_name) when the form is displayed. Use the BODY onLoad

event, you can save your visitors a click of the mouse:





   <BODY onLoad="document.forms[0].first_name.focus();">

Hi Pat;



I had similar problem with exception that I needed to be able to alter

which text box the focus would be placed in on page activation. I

received help as follows: 



  <script event="onload()" for="window">

   // following based on tip from Leena Natekar via Wrox,

aspx_professional

         

     if ( document.all["ddown_user_role_name"] == null )

     {

        document.all["tbox_user_id"].focus("true") ;

     }

     else

     { 

        document.all["ddown_user_role_name"].focus("true") ;

     }

  </script>



Hope that helps



Lou Klauder

LMAo no  I am an old chatter from the GLOBE chat site I have designed one

that is free to use and free from all those adds. The java chat interface

goes online in about 5 weeks The Frames chat is open for trials this week.

No codes pinched all my own so I am hoping it all goes well. I have used sql

for the design and run it through tables and session variables. If you ever

want to take a look you can find it at http://members.palmcomputinguk.com

Suggestions most welcome. At present I am learning about FileSysObject as I

want the chat to be written to a file and then displayed on refresh But

apart from writing to it it also has to delete any entries over 5 mins old.

I think this may be a better way then calling from a database all the time.

I will get there If I get stuck I will always of course ask for help in the

forums

Regards

Patrick

Message #10 by "Patrick" <patrick00@n...> on Tue, 4 Dec 2001 19:19:47 -0000
Hi Rich

Not so much a problem as more in terminating them.



I know the session("name").Abandon works.

My problem being that when a user moves from the chat site to another part

of the site they have two sessions running to display there username the

room they are in

I need to know the following which is giving me a little difficulty.



when they click on a link other than in chat I need to terminate the room

session and write to the database that they have left the site. Also if the

either close the browser or just type a new url in the address bar and leave

I need to know how to detect this and do the same. Close the sessions and

write to the database.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Patrick

You could use a boolean value to check if the user is in the room or

not...being "true" when they're logged in and "false" once they leave.

Something like including a "Logout of the chatroom!" hyperlink in the chat

app.



HTH,

Jason

Hi Patrick,



Here's a quick reference guide on how to use Session variables in ASP.



http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/asp/quickref/session.html



If you need something specific, just let me know.



HTH,

Jason

Patrick,



I think the best thing you can do is set the session.timeout property

and create a Session_OnEnd subroutine in your Global.asa file and write

to the database from there.



The problem is that browser sessions are independent and not aware of

eachother, so you will never be able to know if the user toggles to

another instance of IE.  The Session_OnEnd subroutine will fire if the

user closes the browser window though.

Hi Rich

Not so much a problem as more in terminating them.



I know the session("name").Abandon works.

My problem being that when a user moves from the chat site to another

part of the site they have two sessions running to display there

username the room they are in I need to know the following which is

giving me a little difficulty.



when they click on a link other than in chat I need to terminate the

room session and write to the database that they have left the site.

Also if the either close the browser or just type a new url in the

address bar and leave I need to know how to detect this and do the same.

Close the sessions and write to the database. Any ideas? Thanks Patrick
