Cursor automatically jumps to end to text when clicking inside and online form

When I type text in an online form like the one I am using to post this question and I want to go back and edit my text I click on the text/line I want to edit in the online form  but my cursor automatically jumps to the very end of the text. 
Is there a setting I can change to stop this from happening?
Thanks.

the best way to test is to remove OnKeyUp="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"  and then check whether you still have the problem
strange that the problem is there even when you replace OnKeyUp with onChange because the function should not be executed until the change is complete. also replace OnKeyUp with onBlur

  • Cursor jumps to end of text when editing item

    I am using a Javascript function, toUpperCase() to convert data input in a text field.  However, when users would like to change a piece of the data string in the text, the cursor changes one character only before jumping to the end of the text and continuing.  This feature causes aggravation to users.  How can I keep the cursor in the correct place within the string and still use toUpperCase without the cursor jumping to the end of the string?
    Thank you!

  • Focus jumps to keyword filter box when clicking a keyword

    Has anyone else seen this problem?  (And is there a solution!)
    Long, long, keyword hierarchy.  Clicking on a keyword takes the focus back up to the keyword filter box.  Usually happens if I've used the filter box to narrow down the keywords that are visible. Continues even after the filter box has been cleared.  Doesn't happen all the time though.  It is a real pain when trying to double click a keyword to edit it as the first click or the double click causes the list to refresh showing only the top entries.  The second click (of the double click) then causes whatever keyword is now under the pointer to be keyword to be edited - NOT the keyword under the pointer when I started the double click.
    I've seen this happen in both LR3.0 and LR3.2RC.
    Windows XP, 32bit.

    Thank you for answering, John, but i do not believe that editing the keyword tag would help. To explain more clearly:  I have a long list of keywords that need to be rearranged/sorted.  for example i might have some specific names such as anthrenus or podisus that are currently standalone keywords and that I want to drop and drag into the hierarchy animal-insect.  If the list of keywords (filtered or unfiltered) is longer than the height of the window, then when i click to select the first keyword to move, then the cursor immediately jumps to the top.
    for example, if anthrenus and podisus are both near the bottom of the list and i want to drag them to the top, this means that i first click on anthrenus, (involuntary jump), scroll back down, Ctrl-click on podisus, then drag and drop both into the animal-insect hierarchy.  a partial but tedious work around is to filter sufficiently to reduce the number of visible keywords to less than the height of the window.  But this means that when i am going thru a list of keywords to decide where to put them, i have to keep re-filtering to reduce the size.  for example, in this case, i could filter on "insect anthrenus podisus" to get all three keywords visible.  but if there happened to be another insect such as oncopeltus hidden in the list that i overlooked, i have now hidden this name, so I wont see it until i clear the filter, at which point i will need to re-filter for "insect oncopeltus", and so on.  this is a real time-waster.

  • Cursor automatically moves to the address bar when I open a new page

    Ever since I installed Firefox 4, when I open a new tab the typing cursor automatically moves to the address bar instead of the search engine bar. I have the tab mix plus addon. A solution appears to have been found for the same problem with the newtabhomepage addon, but since the two are not compatible with each other, I don't want to switch addons. Is there any way I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    If your using the 'New Tab Homepage' extension then this happens when you upgrade to Firefox.
    Open up Firefox and click on Ctrl+Shift+A to bring up the add on/extensions menu. Have a look in the Extensions bit for an Extension that has a version no of 0.4.3. if you have it then it needs uninstalling. Then download the new file from the mediafire link
    http://www.mediafire.com/?v1113g9noytswdv
    You will then be asked if you sure you want to install it and drag it on to the extensions page in Firefox.
    Once installed restart Firefox. Once restarted your homepage will load whenever you start a new tab.

  • PDF form, vanishing text when click

    Hello
    I´m working with a form were car dealers can fill out name, address, registration numbers and so on when they sell a car.
    If I make a text field I place a standard text inside the field "write here" so they know were to write.
    How do I do to make the standrad text to dissapere whem they click on the "write here text"? I only get to the point were they must mark the standard text and then write a new text. If not the standard text is still there and the new text put behind.
    Is it possible?

    Also, if you don't want the default text to print, add the following line of code:
    // Set field to not print if empty
    event.target.display = event.value ? display.visible : display.noPrint;

  • Highlight the bookmarked text when clicking bookmark link?

    I have severeal bookmarks on one page of the PDF. Is it possible to have the PDF set up so that it will highlight the bookmarked text when the bookmark link is clicked? Or something that would make it easier to find the bookmarked section of the document. I am using Acrobat 9. Thanks!

    A bookmark (go to page view type action) doesn't really link to text, it links to a page and view setting (zoom, and possibly scroll). So this isn't an option with such a link.

  • Is there any function or way to get a text when clicked on a button

    Hi all,
    I need to get a file name when clicked on a button at user-command(just after the selection ends and the output came, there are some buttons on the screen).
    Any function, thanks.

    If you want user to supply a file name, you should popup a file selection dialog box. Depending on where the file might reside, use one of the following function modules.
    F4_FILENAME      
    F4_FILENAME_SERVER

  • Does new Premiere Pro CS 5.0.2 update solve hangup when clicking in and out of Premiere Pro?

    I originally ran into the problem with Premiere Pro CS 5 (as part of the Production Premium CS 5 package) whereby on large projects, particularly with P2 media, Premiere Pro would hang up every time you clicked in and out of the application.  What I mean by this is when you click your desktop or explorer or some other application, outside of premiere pro,  and then you try to go back to premiere pro and click inside the application to get back to work, you get a blue wheel and it takes 10-30 seconds before premiere pro will re-engage and allow you to work.
    I have installed the new 5.0.2 update and tested it on my original problematic project, having set up a new media cache file.  The project prpro project file size is approx 30 mb and the reference media is approximately 300 GB on internal hard drive.  The full data on the original problem,specs and tests can be found on this form at
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/639220?tstart=0,
    Unfortunately, in my initial work and test with this as of today, this problem is not solved and the same hang up is occurring.  When testing I have all other applications turned off, no internet connection and no firewall/anti-virus programs running (system mechanic).
    I will be working extensively over the next few days with a new editing project and will reduce the project size and will report back if there are in fact any improvements or changes to this, but at this writing, this problem is not solved for me unfortunately.  Possibly for others there is an improvement.

    You know what it didn't work for me - but - and I only discovered the solution last night by happenstance - I wasn't trying all that hard to solve it as it wasn't as bad for me as apparently it is for you and others - but - anyway - for me the solution was my anti virus - I had it turned off when I installed the update - so once it was completed it appeared the problem had been solved by the update - but - then I turned the anti virus program back on - Avast free version BTW - and the problem was back - it was then I happened upon your thread and obviously I put two and two together - so - continuing - I have just now uninstalled Avast free version and installed AVG free version and - viola` - all is good - for now. Sorry to hear you are still suffering.
    That has been my only nagging issue thus far with CS5  - all else - so far so good.
    Best wishes,

  • Cursor jumping to end of clip in FCP log and transfer

    I'm using AVCHD footage from a Sony hxr-nx5u camera. I copied the clips to a hard drive and am now using log and transfer to get the clips into FCP. My problem is that on some of the longer clips (pieces over about 10 min) the cursor start to jump or snap to the end.
    Example, through the first part of the clip I can drag the viewing cursor back and forth along the clip's timeline. When I let go, it stays there. If I do the same thing in the second half or later of the clip, when I let go the cursor jumps to the end of the entire clip every time. I can't log or mark in and out points for the second half of the clip unless I just let it play though. (If I do let it play through, I still can't go back and adjust it)
    I'm using Final Cut 7 and think it's fully updated.
    Very frustrating to say the least. Can anyone provide any help on this?

    Hi -
    No first hand experience at this, but my understanding is there is currently a problem importing clips from that camera that are over 10-15 minutes.

  • Automatically delete text when clicking (Acrobat Pro)

    Hello,
    I've been struggling with a problem for 3 hours now and I can't find any solution in this forum, youtube, google or where ever.
    I'm busy making a fillable form in Adobe Pro X and I'm trying to add text in an object which disappears the moment you click/tab in it. Something like the "search bars" on most of the regular websites (see top right of Adobe page).
    As a second demand, the prefilled text should be vissible but not be printed, as for the text which is typed by the customer (in the same field) should be vissible and be printed.
    I don't have any knowledge about Javascript or HTML, so if it can only be done with one of these options, can someone please add the code aswell?
    I hope i'm not asking to much of Acrobat.
    Thanks in advance.
    Foegol.

    There are several ways of doing it. Here's my favourite:
    - Create a text field and set its default value to the text you want to display when no value is entered into it.
    - Apply the following code as the field's On Focus script:
    if (event.target.value==event.target.defaultValue) {
        event.target.value = "";
        event.target.display = display.visible;
    - Apply the following code as the field's On Blur script:
    if (event.target.value=="") {
        event.target.value = event.target.defaultValue;
        event.target.display = display.noPrint;
    - That's it, pretty much. Reset the form and you should see it working.

  • Objects or text when clicked on to 'trigger' individual builds

    I have seen it used on newer versions of powerpoint they call them "Triggers". It allows me assign a build to text or object and it executes when i click on the area of the text or object. This causes these items to work whenever i choose and not in an order.
    Is there a way to assign this method to keynote??
    I have considered using hyperlinks to copied slides but i want to make a number of items disappear in random order.
    Can anyone help??

    i'm pretty sure keynote doesnt do that. and its sad, because it wouldnt be a complicated thing to do. im having a similar problem and solved it like you said - creating a hyperlink to another slide with just the object that i want to change changed. problem is that im having issues with the simple global click to go to the next slide taking priority over the hyperlinked object...

  • Corrupt Photoshop file changes text when clicking in text layer

    I have a really weird problem with one of my files. When I click on the text, it changes the text to completely different words. Seems like it is corrupt somehow... please see below images to see what I mean. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix? I'm on CS6 mac OS 10.8.4.
    Before:
    After:
    Out of curiosity I also opened up the file in text edit to see if there was anything obvious, and here's some of the code. I'm assuming this is preview text for search, but either way seems a bit fishy.
    <rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
                      <photoshop:LayerName>Partners</photoshop:LayerName>
                      <photoshop:LayerText>WE WILL BE...</photoshop:LayerText>
    </rdf:li>
    Trying to edit the text and saving it out corrups the file.

    That was a problem in Photoshop 13.0 that was fixed in later dot releases.  Please make sure you have the latest updates installed.
    But the file itself was corrupted and cannot be completely repaired.  The good news is that the bug just scrambled the text - it's all there, just moved around.
