Hi Jim C, I did read his message, but after I wrote mine, then I chided myself for not looking down to the next line first. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810. Skype: jim.homme.

Hi Jim H: Please don't take this as a condemnation of any sorts but did you not read the previous message from JR on this topic? I ask because it appears that I'm missing messages from the list on a more frequent bases and most times if another message hasn't the chain appended I will need to visit the list archive. Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Jim C. ________________________________ From: program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Homme, James Sent: April 13, 2011 15:27 To: program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-java] Re: OT - Javascript question? Hi, I just remembered what event it could be. Onblur. That's when you tab out of a field. If you move it to that event, it will run and do its magic and your screen reader won't have a fit.

Westmoreland Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 10:04 AM To: program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-java] Re: OT - Javascript question? Jim, I suspect you are right. The reason it is going to the end is that when you put a value back like that it moves the cursor to the end as though you had typed it. I'm taking a class on javascript and we talked a bit about that. I probably wouldn't have used the onchangedevent I'd have used the event that is triggered when you exit the field to uppercase the whole thing at that point. <smile> Best, J. R.

Hi Pamela, Do you know which event is calling the script? Thanks. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810. Skype: jim.homme.

I want the cursor not to keep jumping to the end of the edit field after each character I type, when I'm trying to insert a word or more than 1 character in the middle of the edit field.

Hi, If you tell me a little more about what you are trying to do, it might help. From what you say, I'm guessing that the reason this is happening is not because of the script, but because the script may be called by the on change event. The on change event makes the script fire anytime the edit field changes. The edit field changes anytime you type or remove a character. What do you want to happen? Thanks.

I was pointed to the below JS as contributing to my problem, which I will try to explain. When I need to edit or update a field by inserting a word in the middle of the field, every time I enter 1 character the cursor jumps to the end of the field and I have to keep moving the cursor back to the insertion point in the middle of the field I'm editing. I have to keep doing this for every character I want to enter. I don't know JS that well, but any suggestions would be appreciated. I will look into Roger's suggestion of googling "sigte all experts" (don't understand that google search exactly), and getting a copy of JS for dummies. Thanks, Pamela ----- JavaScript code ----- function uppercase(textField) { if (textField.value == '') { return; } var val = textField.value; var upper = ''; var len = val.length; for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) { if (/^[a-z]{1}$/.test(val.charAt(i))) { upper += val.charAt(i).toUpperCase(); } else { upper += val.charAt(i); } } textField.value = upper; } ----- From: program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Corbett, James Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 8:00 AM To: 'program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [program-java] Re: OT - Javascript question?
