I use this script to search in a static page
But i want this to search when i type in the text input and not when i click the button, i searchd and i found that any of this would work:
onkeypress="this.submit();"
onkeyup="this.submit();"
onkeypress="document.forms["f1"].submit();"
onkeyup="document.forms["f1"].submit();"
but none of them works
i used the same html with the script's
<form id="f1" name="f1" action="javascript:void()" onsubmit="if(this.t1.value!=null && this.t1.value!='')parent.findString(this.t1.value);return false;">
<input type="text" id="t1" name="t1" value="Search" onfocus="if(this.value=='Search')this.value='';" size="20" onkeypress="this.submit();" />
<input type="submit" name="b1" value="Find" />
</form>
form.submit() does not trigger onsubmit. You should implement a function instead.
Your onkeyup script is counter-intuitive though, since selecting the text onkeyup requires blurring of the textbox focus.
Created a test using your snippets that calls findString(this.value);
instead of submit:
some sample text
<form id="f1" name="f1" action="javascript:void(0)" onsubmit="if(this.t1.value!=null && this.t1.value!='')parent.findString(this.t1.value);return false;">
<input type="text" id="t1" name="t1" value="Search" onfocus="if(this.value=='Search')this.value='';" size="20" onkeyup="findString(this.value);" />
<input type="submit" id="b1" name="b1" value="Find" />
</form>
Javascript:
var TRange=null;
function findString (str) {
if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)<4) return;
var strFound;
if (window.find) {
// CODE FOR BROWSERS THAT SUPPORT window.find
strFound=self.find(str);
if (!strFound) {
strFound=self.find(str,0,1);
while (self.find(str,0,1)) continue;
}
}
else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {
// EXPLORER-SPECIFIC CODE
if (TRange!=null) {
TRange.collapse(false);
strFound=TRange.findText(str);
if (strFound) TRange.select();
}
if (TRange==null || strFound==0) {
TRange=self.document.body.createTextRange();
strFound=TRange.findText(str);
if (strFound) TRange.select();
}
}
else if (navigator.appName=="Opera") {
alert ("Opera browsers not supported, sorry...")
return;
}
if (!strFound) alert ("String '"+str+"' not found!")
return;
}
