WebMaskEditor set fouce problem
posted

I can't seem to set focus on my WebMaskEditor. I am using Javascript to test the length of the value,

 set focus back if length is incorrect.  Using Valuechanged event to execute the following

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

function AcctNumValidation() {

// var acctNum = MasterForm.MainContent_WQWebGroupBox_WQedittxtAcctNum.value;

// if (acctNum.length == 0 || acctNum.length == 7 ) {

// MasterForm.MainContent_WQWebGroupBox_WQtxtValMsg.value = "";

// return true;

// }

// else {

// MasterForm.MainContent_WQWebGroupBox_WQtxtValMsg.value = "Account # must be 7 digits";

// MasterForm.MainContent_WQWebGroupBox_WQedittxtAcctNum.focus();

// return false;

// }

// }

Thanks Dan

    Hi Dan,

    Usage of explicit attributes of html elements is not supported by editors. You need to use member methods. Something, like below.
    var editor = $find("WebMaskEditor1");
    //var editor = $find("<%=WebMaskEditor1.ClientID%>");
    var value = editor.get_value();
    var text = editor.get_text();
    ...

    If editor does not have focus and you need to get value/text in focused state, then it is not simple and can be rather tricky. You may call editor.setFocus(); method, but browser will set actual focus with a delay. So, you need a handler for the focus event of browser (or ClientEvents.Focus or editor), or at least create a delay/setTimeout, or similar. Only within that event/delay, you may get focused value.
