How to pass the key pressed in javascript

I'm asking this question here as I could not find the needed help elsewhere .
I don't know how to pass the key pressed in the function on OnKeyPress event .
I'm trying the following :
<input type="text" name="a" onKeyPress="check();">
I want to pass the key presses in the check function .
How to collect the key pressed in the function check ?
Thanks.

As I said above, that won't work in Mozilla.
In fact IMO Netscape/Mozilla javascript event handling has been behind IE since version 4.
Be that as it may: here is a workaround (for Mozilla): It seems you have to assign the onkeypress event for it rather than declaring it as part of the textfield.
Of the two textfields on this form, both work in IE, and only the first one will work properly in Mozilla. I left it in just to demonstrate the difference.

How to pass the property value to getter function

In jsp, I have a select box,like this:
<html:select property="chooseType" styleId="chooseType" onchange="javascript:checkType()">
<html:option value="Type1">Type1</html:option>
<html:option value="Type2">Type2</html:option>
<html:option value="Type3">Type3</html:option>
</html:select>
javascript, I use document.getElementById("chooseType").value="Type3";
however, i form.java file, using getChooseType(), I could not get the value "Type3". If I do not set the value by javascript, I just select "Type3" from GUI, value "Type3" is passed properly to the getter.
How to pass the value,set in javascript to getter?
Edited by: [email protected] on Nov 17, 2009 4:23 PM

I just found it is caused by the following code.
javascript, I use document.getElementById("chooseType").disabled=true;
So if I disable the select box, the value can not be passed to form. How to disable the select box but still pass the value to form?

Can somebody point me to what I need to use to
intercept all the 'keys' for an application.
At the moment I have set Focus to parts of the
application when the Mouse is over it, and then get
the Keys with a KeyListener.
Is there a way to get the keys, as long as the Java
app is active.
- Its an image display program, and I want to use keys
for - next image , zooom etc etc.
If soemone could just point me to the right part of
the API to look in?java.awt.Toolkit.addAWTEventListener()
then use the mask defined in AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK to listen to all the events.

How To pass the value within the page using jsp?

How to passing the textbox value within the jsp page without using javascript or reload the page.
I have a scenario like this:
I have a textbox named as "accno" which allow user to key in the accno. After key in the accno, this accno value will used to do a query from database using jstl.
here is part of my code
<input name="accno" type="text" onChange="checkLC()"/>
<sql:query var="results" dataSource="${db}">
select accno,name from account where accno = '<%=value get from accno textbox%>'
</sql:query>
<c:out value="${result.rows[0].name}"/>
note that onChange() is the javascript when user key in accno then automatically go to check database then only show out the name. So how can i get the '<%=value get from accno textbox%>' from accno textbox.

How to passing the textbox value within the jsp page
without using javascript or reload the page.No, jsp executes on the remoter server, the text box is on a client machine, you need to send information to the server over the network, http does this with a request, which will reload the page.....................

How to pass the java object into the spring controller

Hi Friends
When I hit the url at the first time my call goes to the spring controller and sets the userDetails objects in the modelAndView.addObject("userDetails", userDetails.getUserDetails()) and returns the userDetails.html page. if I click any link in the same page i want to pass same (userDetails) object thru javascript or jquery and calls the another(controller) method and returns the same (userDetails.html) page.
It means how can i pass the java object thru javascript or jquery and calls the controller. if i get the same object in my controller i can avoid calling the db again. please help me out to resolve this issue. i am tired of fixing this issue.
Regards
Sherin Pooja

If you want to avoid calling the database again then cache the data.
However before you do that make sure that calling the database, in the context of YOUR system, is going to be an actual problem.
For example there is absolutely no point in caching a User object when only one user an hour is actually using the system.

How to pass Application Item value in Javascript function.

Hi,
I have the following javascript in the HTML Form Element Attributes properties
I am on Page1 and passing P1_DEPT_NO page item value. This is working perferctly fine and I am able to get the exact value of the page item
onchange="javascript:function1($x('P1_DEPT_NO').value);"I am on Page1 and passing Application Item G_DEPT_NO value.
The problem here is, I am not getting the Application item value inside the javascript function.
I tried using alert(); and it's giving me value as undefined
onchange="javascript:function1($x('G_DEPT_NO').value);"Just want to know, how to pass the Application Item value in Javascript.
Thanks,
Deepak

Deepak,
I am not an expert at Javascript, but the suggestin I made was because javascript is a case-sensitive language.. and therefore onChange is not the same as onchange.
Not quite sure if that is causing the problem.
Application items are not associated with a page and therefore have no user interface properties.
Therefore, as mentioned in another post, the rendering would not work for application items.
If it is for a single item, used only in this page, you could create a hidden page item and use it fo your purpose
If you still want to look at application items and AJAX, This page contains examples of using AJAX to solve problems like the one you mentioned.

What are the key presses like on the Enhanced Performance keyboard?

Hi guys,
I've been thinking about buying this keyboard:
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:item.detai...
I was wondering how the key presses feel? I'm quite particular about it. I like the press to have a definite 'soft click' (like a cross between a microswitch and a diaphragm). A lot of keys these days are like pressing a spring with no tactile response as to when a key press has actually been registered if that makes any sense.
Can anyone with this keyboard describe how the keys are to press? I can't find and videos or any real life examples to test.
Thanks,
Leo

if you are looking for tactility in a keyboard, than this keyboard is not the best. Maybe you should get a Filco keyboard instead.
Microsoft and Dell's keyboard (the one with oversized spacebar) are both slightly better than these Lenovo keyboard. Alternatively get the Space Saver II keyboard.

How to binding a key press event of "Esc" to "cancle" button

I create a class extended JComponent. Than I add a button named "cancle " to it.
Than I add the class's instance to a JDialog object.
I try to get the key press event through add a keyListener to the class instance, but no works.
I try to add a keymap and action map to the dialog 's getRootPane() also no works.
Who can tell me how can I do?

Thats the way I did it:
    // map escape key
    ActionListener escapeActionListener = new ActionListener()
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        cancelPressed();
    this.registerKeyboardAction( escapeActionListener,
                                 KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, false),
                                 JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT );

How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

Hi,
I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

How to pass the parameter of a stored procedure to iReport

Hi... i don't know how to pass the parameter of the stored procedure to the iReport.
In the Report Query, i tried
1. sp_storedprocedure ' value'
2. sp_storedprocedure +''''+$P{parameter}+''''+
3. sp_storedprocedure +$V+$P{parameter}++$F($F is a variable having a value of ' (a single quote))may you enlighten us please? thank you

For M$ SQL server I find that it only works when U use the fully qualified name...
e.g. catalod.dbo.my_procedure_name 'variable'
My full query in the Report Query window is something like this:
EXEC arc.dbo.jasper_Invoice 1000
Note that you may find that selecting from VIEWS / TABLES fails for no apparent reason and iReport will prompt you with the usual very unhelpful (we have what we "pay" for) prompt, stating that "The document is empty".
To work around this issue, where a statement like "SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id=1000" does not work, simply create a PROC, something like:
CREATE PROC jasper_MyProc (@my_rec_id integer) AS
SELECT * FROM arc.dbo.acc_invoices WHERE Invoice_id= @my_rec_id integer
...to wrap your SELECT statement, then call the PROC
