FireFox problems with Javascript Logic

[SysTechGuy]

My company has an online application written in JavaScript where people enter personal information and submit it via the Web. Within the code, information that has to be formatted is sent to functions that test the data to see if it meets certain criteria. For instance, "State" must be entered as only two letters.

There is a problem with these specific fields when erroneous information is entered. The user enters information in the wrong format and then an exception is thrown with an "alert" method. What is suppossed to happen is the user clicks "Okay" on the message pane and then focus is put back on the field that contains the error, thereby not letting the user continue until the data is entered correctly.

What happens instead is that when the "alert" method executes and a message pane appears, the message pane will not disappear when "Okay" is clicked and the user cannot get back to the application. This only happens in FireFox and not in IE7. Here is the function for "State" that tests the data and the html tag that calls the function:

<td valign="top">
<input name="applicantState" type="text" size="5" onblur="stateCheck(document.applicationForm.applicantState);">
</td>

function stateCheck(checkThisState) {
stateString = checkThisState.value;
if ( stateString != "" ) {
stateString = stateString.toUpperCase();
if ( stateString.length == 2 ) {
checkThisState.value = stateString;
}
if ( stateString.length != 2 ) {
checkThisState.focus();
alert("State codes must be two letters only.");
}
}
}

I have tried putting the "checkThisState.focus()" method after the alert statement, which eliminate the problem of the alert message not disappearing, but the focus isn't put on the state field again, which means a user could enter unformatted data.

Again, this is only a problem in FireFox, not Internet Explorer 7. Since a significant portion of our users may use FireFox, I was wondering if there was special code I could enter so FireFox can handle this program logic.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Pass "this" on your function call:

<input name="applicantState" type="text" size="5" onblur="stateCheck([!]this[/!])">

In this case, "this" is a reference to the textbox name="applicantState"

<.

I still get the same result as before. Here is the change I made to the original:

<input name="applicantState" type="text" size="5" onblur="stateCheck(this);">

why not simply use the HTML attribute "maxlength"?

<input name="applicantState" type="text" size="5" maxlength="2" onblur="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();" />

That is a good idea, but there are many other fields in the application that require other formats, like phone number (###-###-####) and zip code (#####) that have to be numbers. The State field is just an example I used since the problem it is having with FireFox is the same as the other fields.


Also, it is more user friendly for an alert message to be used to let the user know what format is required before submitting the form.

This little thing is so frustrating. I do not know why FireFox doesn't handle this simple logic.

I ran the code with the FireFox Error Console on and this was the output when I hit that checkstate function:

Error: too much recursion

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/dialog.xml :: :: line 135" data: no]

This references "line 135" I opened the file with DreamWeaver and this is line 132 - 136:

if ( document.applicationForm.affiliation.value == "------------" || document.applicationForm.affiliation.value == "-- Back to range selections --" ) {
document.applicationForm.affiliationselections.options.selectedIndex = 0;
document.applicationForm.affiliation.value = "";
toDoOrNo = "No";
}

I do not know why FireFox doesn't handle this simple logic.

firefox likely doesn't handle it because of invalid or improper coding, most likely. IE will let things slide, but that's no reason to hold firefox responsible.

what does firefox's error console indicate?

Well, based on my limited experience with JavaScript, the Error Console appears to indicate that there is a problem passing the argument to the function:

"Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/dialog.xml :: :: line 135" data: no]"

I am not sure of the significance of line 135:

toDoOrNo = "No";

It might be important to note that when I click "Okay" on the alert message box when it appears after entering incorrectly formatted data , that the line "Error: too much recursion" keeps appearing over and over within the Error Console.

 

[cLFlaVA]

AHA!

you have a function that is called from a field's onblur event.

that function does a few checks, then sets focus back to the field, [red]then displays an alert box[/red].

see what's happening here? you are setting focus, then removing focus (the alert box). removing the focus (blur) calls the function again, and so on and so forth.

put the focus() call after the alert function call.

Here are the changes I made:

function stateCheck(checkThisState) {
	stateString = checkThisState.value;
	if ( stateString != "" ) {
		stateString = stateString.toUpperCase();
		if ( stateString.length == 2 ) {
			checkThisState.value = stateString;
		}
		if ( stateString.length != 2 ) {
			alert("State codes must be two letters only.");
			checkThisState.focus();
		}
	}
}

I switched the "alert" function and "checkThisState.focus() method within the stateCheck function. This eliminates the recursion. However, the focus is not being put back on State after the alert message is cleared. The first few fields in the document are like this:

First Name:
Last Name:
Street Address:
City:
State:
ZIP:

I proceed down to "State" and then add unformatted data and hit the TAB key. The message comes up indicating that it needs to be a two letter state. I click "okay" and instead of the cursor being put back within the "State" box, it is within the "ZIP" box. It seems that focus was not put back on "State".

I am not sure why this is happening.

 

[cLFlaVA]

what a freakin pain. here's a workaround:

you will need to ensure that you give each of your elements (or at least your state field) a valid ID.

if ( stateString.length != 2 ) {
    alert("State codes must be two letters only.");
    setTimeout("document.getElementById('" + checkThisState.id + "').focus();", 1);
}

Nope. I am still getting the same results as before. The recursion is eliminated, but the focus will not go back to the state field after bad data is entered. Here is what I changed:

function stateCheck(checkThisState) {
	stateString = checkThisState.value;
	if ( stateString != "" ) {
		stateString = stateString.toUpperCase();
		if ( stateString.length == 2 ) {
			checkThisState.value = stateString;
		}
		if ( stateString.length != 2 ) {
			alert("State codes must be two letters only.");
			setTimeout("document.getElementById('" + checkThisState.id + "').focus();", 1);
		}
	}
}

I don't know if it would be helpful, but here is the full coding for the original application:

i took most of your code (since it was cut off) and applied the exact changes I suggested. it worked perfectly.

here is my function:

function stateCheck(checkThisState) {
    stateString = checkThisState.value;
    if ( stateString != "" ) {
        stateString = stateString.toUpperCase();
        if ( stateString.length == 2 ) {
            checkThisState.value = stateString;
        }
        if ( stateString.length != 2 ) {
            alert("State codes must be two letters only.");
            setTimeout( "document.getElementById('" + checkThisState.id + "').focus();", 1 );
        }
    }
}

here is my state input field:

<input id="corystate" name="applicantState" type="text" size="5" onblur="stateCheck(document.applicationForm.applicantState);">

That is odd. For me, the exact code is not putting focus on the zip code field after I click away the alert message.

You are using Firefox...correct?

Here is the page that has the most recent changes where the check state function is:

function stateCheck(checkThisState) {

This is the original page where the alert box just hangs when incorrect data is entered into state, zip, or any phone number.

this is the kind of thing that's very frustrating for us. i have suggested, twice, to modify the function and to make sure your state input element has an ID, which it still does not in the URL you have provided.

I had this same problem. It seems that there is a problem with how firefox handles onblur events while trying to set focus to a new object.

See link below for a workaround....

Also try searching on google with the words:
firefox javascript onblur focus

Sorry about my confusion. I was modifying multiple versions of the code, trying different things and I made a stupid mistake of using the version where I didn't set the id...thinking that I did.

I appreciate all of your help.
