[Javascript] Hide popup div on lost focus?


Question

Hey guys, I've got 2 date textboxes, and when clicked, a little calendar will pop up below it. So I'm using onFocus to show it, and then when you click away I'm using the following code,

document.onclick=check;
	function check(e){
		var target = (e && e.target) || (event && event.srcElement);
		var obj = document.getElementById('dvCalendar');
		checkParent(target)?obj.style.display='none':nullnction checkParent(t){
		while(t.parentNode){

			if(t==document.getElementById('dvCalendar') || t == document.getElementById('txtStartDate') || t == document.getElementById('txtStopDate') )
			{
				return false;
			}
			t=t.parentNode
		}
		return true
	}

Which works, but if the user clicks from the first textbox to the second, it doesn't make the second appear. I think because the loop is still running, as if I chuck in an alert, the second popup stays.

Does anyone else have a better way of doing this? :\ I'm really not super keen on having to loop through all the controls, but theres nothing else on Google. :(

How about toggle ? So you have two elements you want to show. Click on one the function switches classes for the said element to display it. When you click on the other one it turns off the one on display and shows the other one. When the user clicks out you can activate a function that just turns things off. Well I don't know js so here is the logic...

function display()

switch class a to b

if there is class b then switch it to a

function hide() <- This gets activated when the user clicks out.

switch class b to a <- hides any element turned on by display

    • anyone know of any VNC viewers that can do a full 4k and scaling to a mac from windows? RDP does it fine from a mac to windows and windows to windows... but I can't seem to get it to do 4k with UltraVNC and have it scaled to match from windows to the mac
    • At least on Mint... Debian is the 'backup' option (i.e. LMDE6) where as regular Mint is Ubuntu. also, Debian tends to play stuff a bit more conservatively than Ubuntu (at least based on Mint) with kernel and programs. also, even Mint's 'Update Manager' is more refined in regular Mint vs LMDE6 and installing NVIDIA driver is easier on regular Mint etc. not only that but LMDE6 only comes with Cinnamon which is a shame as they should offer the option for Xfce. I realize playing around with it in a VM one can install Xfce on it but it would be nice to have a more official Xfce release like how the regular Mint does. so while I heard Debian is a little snappier than Ubuntu (so better on some level), Ubuntu is probably the overall wiser choice unless people don't mind using a bit older stuff etc. but honestly, with some tweaks I would not mind if they changed the main Mint to Debian base instead of Ubuntu. but that's probably not likely to happen unless Ubuntu really does something the Mint team does not like. p.s. but I was building Super Mario 64 (native PC port on Linux) a while ago and it does not like regular Mint but works fine on LMDE6. but at that point I just transferred the final binary out of the VM back to my regular Mint and it works fine.
    • Excel is getting a highly requested PivotTable feature by Usama Jawad Microsoft Excel is one of the most popular software out there, both in the enterprise and personal space. It has a variety of use-cases including data analysis, data crunching, visualizations, and even planning and organization assistance. Microsoft regularly updates Excel with new features, and now, it is introducing a notable feature for PivotTables. Prior to today, PivotTables required a manual refresh from the user whenever new data was inserted into them. This wasn't a particularly complicated process, but it was tedious, so based on significant user feedback, Microsoft has decided to implement auto-refresh capabilities in PivotTables. The good thing is that Auto Refresh is enabled for all new PivotTables by default, but you can choose to disable it by selecting a PivotTable, navigating to the PivotTable Analyze tab, and then clicking on Auto Refresh. It is important to note that Auto Refresh is applicable on a per data source level, which means that the feature's state (on or off) will apply to all PivotTables derived from that source. Additionally, if Auto Refresh is disabled or a PivotTable is unable to synchronize, a message at the bottom of your workbook will say "PivotTable Refresh Needed". Once you click on it, all outdated PivotTables will refresh. Finally, you should keep in mind that external and asynchronous data sources do not support Auto Refresh and that the feature may become unavailable when a co-author is using an older version of Excel or if you are playing around with volatile functions like RAND() and NOW() in your data source. Auto Refresh for PivotTables is available right now in the Beta Channel for Excel for Windows version 2506 (Build 19008.2000) or later, and Excel for Mac version 16.99 (Build 250616106) or later. If you don't see it yet, it's better to wait as new capabilities are often rolled out in a staggered manner.
