Setting focus to first field of a tab on a tabbed table - xpages

When a user clicks on a tab of a tabbed table, I want to be able to set the focus tot the first field on that tab.
Each tab seems to only have one event mouse onclick. So I tried placing the following code in one of that tab's onclick events.
var f = dojo.byId('#{id:NotInvitedMsg}');
if (f != null)
f.focus();
But when I click on the tab nothing happens. And I mean nothing. The tab can no longer be selected and the script is never executed.
Any way around this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
<xp:tabbedPanel id="tabbedPanel1">
<xp:tabPanel label="New Tab" id="tabPanel1">
<xp:panel>
<xp:inputText id="inputText1"></xp:inputText>
<xp:eventHandler event="onClientLoad" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[var edit = dojo.byId("#{id:inputText1}");
if (edit) {
edit.focus()
}]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:panel>
</xp:tabPanel>
<xp:tabPanel label="New Tab2" id="tabPanel2">
<xp:panel>
<xp:inputText id="inputText2"></xp:inputText>
<xp:eventHandler event="onClientLoad" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[var edit = dojo.byId("#{id:inputText2}");
if (edit) {
edit.focus()
}]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:panel>
</xp:tabPanel>
</xp:tabbedPanel>
</xp:view>
This is working code (tested on Chrome and IE9). It uses simple trick I saw few days ago (and I want to apologize to original author, I couldn't manage to find the original post): to create onClientLoad event at XP/CC level, and to move event handler in source view into the panel body. Works like charm...

Try the HTML5 Autofocus attribute:
<xp:inputText id="field1" value="#{document.Field1}">
<xp:this.attrs>
<xp:attr name="autofocus" value="autofocus"></xp:attr>
</xp:this.attrs>
</xp:inputText>
One caveat: The autofocus attribute is supported in all major browsers, except Internet Explorer.

This might not be exactly what you´re looking for, but maybe it can be of some help..

Call XPages Dialog in typeAhead

is it possible to call a Dialog component in typeAhead functionality?
What i want to do is If the user enter a word which does not come up with typeAhead function then a dialog should appear on the screen.
Please find my code below (my dialog is in custom control)

You can hijack the result of the typeahead and call your dialog if it's empty by using this snippet:
https://openntf.org/XSnippets.nsf/snippet.xsp?id=typeahead-onstartoncomplete-event
I don't have Domino Designer at hand right now so I can't try this out. So this is just guessing:
I don't think that you can use the standard Edit Box control's type ahead feature for something like that; instead you could program this yourself using the control's "onkeyup" event, mimicking the standard type ahead. the idea is that a classic type-ahead operates as a filter to a list of possible entries, just like a "getElementsByKey" method that is fired upon each key stroke. So with every event you check what's in the Edit Box so far, compare it to your list, then display the filtered result to the user in a pop-up (you may want to use a dojo tooltip here).
If the result is null you can bring up your dialog instead.

xpages: custom addOnLoad event on my xpage

The scenario:
Clicking on a link, I'm accessing an xpage, let say: start.xsp.
I've added the following script to this .xsp:
<xp:scriptBlock id="scriptBlock1">
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[
XSP.addOnLoad(function(){
XSP.openDialog("#{id:dialogSearch}")
});
]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:scriptBlock>
So, every time this .xsp is loaded, a dialog is showing up. The problem is the current start.xsp is being refreshed/loaded many times, considering the fact that the xpage have numerous fields/controls on it. It is uncomfortable every time this start.xsp is loaded / refreshed the dialog to show up.
Is it possible to show the dialog after the start.xsp is loaded but ONLY when the above link was clicked? I do want firstly to go to that xpage and after this to show the respective dialog.
Thanks for your time.
Set a session scope variable in your link
<xp:link
escape="true"
text="Link"
id="link1">
<xp:eventHandler
event="onclick"
submit="true"
refreshMode="complete">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:
sessionScope.showDialogSearch = "yes";
context.redirectToPage("start.xsp")
}]]></xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:link>
Add a rendered attribute to your start.xsp's xp:scriptBlock
<xp:this.rendered><![CDATA[#{javascript:
var show = sessionScope.showDialogSearch;
sessionScope.remove("showDialogSearch");
return show
}]]></xp:this.rendered>
This way dialog is only be shown if start.xsp was executed from your link and only once because it gets deleted at first use in rendered attribute.

JQuery Script works with new document, but not with saved ones

Here is what I have :
Lotus database (8.5.3) with jQuery and jQueryUI included
form1 is a form with just one field.
It is set to
"On open - Automatically enable Edit mode"
"On Open - Display XPage instead : xpage1"
"On Web Access - Display XPage instead : xpage1"
xpage1 is an xpage. It contains :
An inputBox linked to the field in form1
A button that calls a small script, just alert("some text")
A jQuery script is included on the page. It's a draggable Panel. It's all there is to it. Just a panel that you can drag on the page.
view1 is a view displaying documents based on form1
Now my problem :
If launch the Xpage in my browser (Chrome or IE), it behaves normaly : I can see my alert when I click on the button, I can drag my panel on the page, I can fill my field, I can save the document.
When I open it later, however, the Xpage opens and display the field data, but my scripts don't work : impossible to save the document, move the panel, display the alert.
If I launch the Xpage in my Lotus client, it works !
If I remove my jQuery reference and my movable panel, the other scripts work.
Did I forget something ? Is it some kind of known problem?
Here is my Xpage source, for reference :

You're including jquery via a standard HTML <script> tag, this may lead to problems since this will be placed in the HTML body instead of the header.
Use the XPage's resource's property. Add some client side JavaScript library with in the XPage ressources properties, then go to the source of the XPage, locate the xp tag that includes the JavaScript library and change it's URL so that your jquery resource is included.
I'm not 100% sure that this solves your problem, but since your code looks good otherwise it's worth a try.

Change an eventHandlers refreshMode depending on client side value?

I have a submit button on top that's normally doing a partial refresh of the form.
When I added a fileUpload control that won't due, as I need to do a full refresh. But I only wish this to happen if the user has added a file to be uploaded. So if the file Upload is empty I want to use a partialRefresh to submit.
I can check if a file is added easily enough and I could have two buttons with different refresh modes and hide them using JS, but that's a clunky solution.
What I would like to do is change the refresh mode on the submit button depending on a submitted value in the current form.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
/J
You can do this by adding a second event handler to your button: One event handler is for a full refresh, the other one for the partial refresh.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
<xp:div id="divRefresh">
<xp:label value="#{javascript:java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis()}" id="label1" />
<xp:label value="#{javascript:java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis()}" id="label2" />
</xp:div>
<xp:br></xp:br>
<xp:button value="Refresh" id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
refreshMode="complete">
<xp:this.script>
<![CDATA[alert("Complete!"); return false;]]>
</xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true"
refreshMode="partial" refreshId="label2">
<xp:this.script>
<![CDATA[alert("Partial!");return true;]]>
</xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
</xp:view>
The CSJS code in the events has to return false to stop the event.
I do this in http://www.intrapages.com when posting new stream content.
in the onchange event for the upload control I set a requestScope variable. and if that is set I perform a full refresh. works great

ExtLib Mobile Controls - How to build a button to switch to an appPage

I'm working on an XPage for mobile users for an existing application. I want to use the mobile controls from the ExtLib for this.
I've build an XPage with a SinglePageApp and some AppPages on it. Now I want to build an AppPage with a search menu, a simple inputText and a button to start the search.
The inputText is bind to a sessionScope variable. I want to use the variable in a second appPage to get the search value and show a filtered/searched view.
The problem is the button. I'm not sure how to build this button to move to the other appPage. This is my last attempt, which fails with a runtime error.
Any idea how to get this running or what's wrong ?
Kind regards
Ingo
<xe:appPage id="appPage34" pageName="searchPage" preload="true" resetContent="true">
<xe:djxmHeading id="djxmHeading34" label="Search..." back="Home" moveTo="home">
</xe:djxmHeading>
<xp:inputText id="searchInput" value="#{sessionScope.searchValue}">
</xp:inputText>
<xp:button value="Search" id="button1" refreshMode="complete" type="submit">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true">
<xp:this.action>
<xe:moveTo targetPage="#searchResult"></xe:moveTo>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
</xe:appPage>
What does the runtime error say?
If you can not get to the XPages log files on the server directly, then use XPages Log File Reader from OpenNTF to get easy access to the log files from a browser.
Does it work if you use "searchResult" as the value for targetPage (assuming the appPage is called "searchResult")?
I've now come to a solution with a static line item instead of a button, since I couldn't get the button working. I think it has something to do with the way the single page application handles the access to mobile pages.
The search page looks like this :
<xe:appPage id="appPage34" pageName="searchPage" preload="true" resetContent="true">
<xe:djxmHeading id="djxmHeading34" label="Search..." back="Home" moveTo="home">
</xe:djxmHeading>
<xp:inputText id="searchInput" value="#{sessionScope.searchValue}">
<xp:eventHandler event="onblur" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
<xp:this.action>
<xp:executeScript>
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[#{javascript:var svalue = getComponent("searchInput").getValue(); sessionScope.put("searchValue",svalue);}]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:executeScript>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:inputText>
<xp:br></xp:br>
<xp:br></xp:br>
<xe:djxmLineItem id="djxmLineItem41" label="Start Search..." moveTo="#searchResult">
</xe:djxmLineItem>
</xe:appPage>
In the mobile page for showing the search result I simply get the value of the sessionScope variable, issue a full text search with the value and use the resulting document collection in a repeat control.
I still would rather use a button because the static line item is not really what a user expects as a gui element to start the search. But at least this is working.
