Need to clear h:messages on mouse click

I have a screen that is displaying a "Insert successful" message via an h:message tag when the user successfully saves data to the database. The user has requested that when they click on any field on this screen, they want this message to be cleared so they can then insert more data and not be confused by the message remaining displayed. So, I found some Javascript code that is supposed to be able to grab the id from rendered JSF tag and clear the contents. It's not working. The h:messages tag gets converted to a <span> tag in HTML and I'm not sure how to clear a <span> tag programatically. My Javascript onclick code is as follows:
function clearMessages()
document.forms[0].elements["thisForm:globalMessages"].value = "";
document.forms[0].elements["thisForm:globalMessages"] = null;
But it's telling me that the "thisForm:globalMessages" element does not exist. Even though that's the id of the <Span> tag, I'm trying to clear the contents of. Any ideas on whether what I'm trying to do is even possible??????
Thanks,
Mike

Use element.firstChild.nodeValue or element.innerHTML.
This is a Javascript problem rather than JSF problem though. For more detailed help and the future Javascript related problems, please use the forums devoted to Javascript. There are ones at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com.
document.forms[0].elements["thisForm:globalMessages"].value = "";
document.forms[0].elements["thisForm:globalMessages"] = null;Two comments though:
1) using forms[0] is dangerous, you should never rely on the ordering of the forms in the document. Just get the form by its name.
2) The <span> element is not a form input element. You should be using document.getElementById().
There are nice Javascript and HTML DOM tutorials at w3schools.com. I highly recommend you to go through that.

Event Handlers of a mouse click

In the simplest way possible please tell me how to do an event handler for a mouse click.
private int clickCounter = 0;
private void MyCanvas_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
if (Device1RB.IsChecked == true)
clickCounter++;
return;
else if (RemoveRB.IsChecked == true)
clickCounter--;

How can I capture mouse click events on BSP or Web Dynpro ABAP Screen

hi Guys,
Currently we have a user inactivity problem,
the requirement is: if user is clicking on BSP/Web Dynpro ABAP screen, he/she is considered active. so we need an mechanism to capture the mouse click event.
Using Firebug, we found that this js is in the iframe which contains BSP/web dynpro scrren: /sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
we want to find this js file & put in some javascript code to track user's mouse click, but i cannot find it on server.
while in ie if we type http://host:port/sap/public/bc/ur/nw5/js/languages/urMessageBundle_en.js
this file can be downloaded, means this file is there.
Any one can help on this issue? find the js file or another way to capture the mouse click event.
Thanks a lot with points!

Hi Feng Guo,
We can not capture mouse click events on Web Dynpro ABAP Screen . I am not sure about BSP. But as for as I know the portal keep active the iViews until unless mouse clicks happens.
But for your problem I think you can get solution by setting iView Expiration to some more time period.

Siva

Detecting mouse clicks in editable cell of JTable

Hi everyone :)
I thought that this question might have been asked before, but I have searched the forums extensively and have not been able to find the solution.
What I want to achieve is to detect single and double mouse clicks on JTable cells (that are editable).
For example, I have a JTable and there exists within it an editable cell. If the user clicks on it once then that cell goes into edit mode, and the user can type directly into the cell. I have already successfully implemented this.
However, what I also want to do is detect a double-click so that I can pop up a dilaog that shows a list of default values that the user can select.
So here is what I want;
1. User clicks on the cell once.
2. Cell moves into edit mode.
3. If the user clicks again within a certain time interval then cancel edit mode and pop up a dialog containing values that the user can select from.
I think that to do this I need to be able to detect mouse clicks on the cell that is currently being edited. So far I have been unable to discover how this is done. I have even tried extending JTextField to get what I want, but with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ben Deany

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to call 'AddMouseListener()' on a cell editor. You are only able to call 'addCellEditorListener()' and that only allows two events to the broadcast (edit cancel, and edit stop).

JOptionPane's message dialog over JDialog not recognizing mouse click

I have a JOptionPane's message dialog like JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() which comes over a JDialog. When I try to click the OK button of this message dialog, nothing is happening. But, Enter key and Escape keys are working on it.
Can any one give a solution?

Hi,
here are the steps how it goes.
Step 1:
private void generateMessageDialog(
        String message,
        int messageType,
        String messageTypeText,
        Component parentFrame)
        JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane();
        optionPane.setMessage(message);
        optionPane.setMessageType(messageType);
        JDialog dialog = optionPane.createDialog(parentFrame,
messageTypeText);
        dialog.show();
}If an exception occurs while connecting to my server, this method will be called to generate an error dialog.
I have another thread which monitors the connection to server every 2500 ms. If the connection is lost, this thread will automatically generates a logon dialog. This dialog is a custom dialog that contains login fields.
Step 2:
public void run()
        int previousState = -1;
        while(previousState != CErrorCodes.SESSION_INVALID && previousState != CErrorCodes.NO_CONNECTION_TO_SERVER)
            int currentState = isConnected();
            // Check if a logoff action is pending
            if (currentState == CErrorCodes.REQUEST_SUCCEEDED)
                if (getClientController().isLogOffPending())
                    break;
            previousState = currentState;
            try
                sleep(2500);
            catch (InterruptedException e)
                break;
// generate the logon dialog
        getClientController().getLogOnDialog();
}If step 2 is executed before step 1, then the dialog generated by step 1 will come over the logon dialog generated by step 2. In this case, the ok button of the dialog generated in step 1 will not recognize mouse click. but enter or escape works. Both the dialogs are modal.
Please let me know if you need furthur info. I look forward for your rep.

Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.

I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

You can remove "this" (display of the Up Next list) by going to View > Hide Up Next in iTunes' menu.

No. It would simply remove them from the Up Next list.

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up pictures

I recently backed up my iphone to itunes, when after backing up a message showed that I needed to update my iphone. I clicked ok, and after updating, it said I had to restore my phone to its factory settings. I cannot find where it backed up all of my pictures from my phone.

If you backed up the device, all the data is in the backup. Restore the backup.
A better question is why would an intelligent person not copy the pictures from the device to the computer regularly, especially before attempting an update, as the device is designed to be used?

HT201210 I downloaded the latest update to itunes. I am now getting a message that my ipod is on recovery mode and needs to be restored. When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize the device.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes. I am now getting the message that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored. When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize this device. Now my ipod is frozen with an image of a cord and an arrow pointing toward the itunes icon. All was working fine before the download!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

No solution I am afraid apart from what you have found. I occasionally have to completely re-install all of the apps as well. Same here, it happens after I reboot the system, if I keep it running then I am good.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
