Does the tab key override the onblur event? I have a text field whose
input I validate on blur, and set the focus back again if invalid.
Effectively, I do not want the user to move out of the control unless
the data entered is validated. This works fine, when I try to click on
some other control. However, on tabkey press, the onblur does get
fired, but the focus also moves onto the next control. It gives a user
experience of hopping onto the next control and coming back again to
the current. I believe tab key is a system key, and it cannot be
overridden. But, should it not move out only after the necessary event
executions?
Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated.
I am using IE 6.0 for my tests.

Rithish.

So stop f**king with the focus that the user expects
to happen in their own browser running on their own PC
and look to a better strategy for validating input.

Stop this insanity immediately.

What are your users using? ..and
Will they be prepared to switch off JS so they can use your site
the way *they* want to, or is yout site a 'back-button job' like
most others that mess with the user's browser?
Those are perhaps the questions you *should* be asking.

My belief was that the best way to validate input would be on fire of
the onblur event. If you have a better strategy of validating input,
then do please oblige..

This is for an intranet system and my users ARE also using IE 6. They
want a validation of the input and hence WILL not switch of JS in
their browsers.

Some things you might get for free, without even asking.
After all - this is not your personal help-desk, so much
as a public discussion forum.

I'm no expert on what can/cannot be done to hapless users of IE
on an intranet. You might try hiring an IE expert.

Use the onchange event instead.

Hi All,
I have a web form which performs certain actions upon moving focus away
from a field. However, if the user clicks the top corner 'X' icon to
close the window, the onBlur event still fires. If, for example, the
onBlur event was an alert() popup: when the user clicks the close
window icon, the window closes and then the alert pops up. Clearly, if
the user closed the window, there is no point to performing the onBlur
event.

I have a custom control with a textbox and dropdown list. The dropdown

Hi All,
In Mozilla Firefox, to onblur and onfocus event of each and every
html element, the browser itself will attach a native event handler. I
mean if you type, 'javascript:alert(window.blur)' in the address bar
of Firefox browser, you can see a 'function ....' . That is a Firefox
browser defined handler.
Now assume that web developer also attach event handlers to 'onblur'
events eg: 'window.blur=f3()'

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
