nextFocusedElementId to be added to the AjaxRequestHeaders (AjaxRequestTarget)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-3961
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3961
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wicket-core
Affects Versions: 1.5-RC5.1
Reporter: Sven Haster
Priority: Trivial
I'd like to have a field/request header "nextFoxusedElementId" to be added to
ajaxrequests (to be retrieved via AjaxRequestTarget.getNextFocusedElementId() )
so that I can append javascript to the ajaxrequest to manipulate the newly
focused element.
Example:
Two textfields, A and B. I've added an ajax event behavior for the
"onblur"-event to textfield A. Now when textfield A has focus and I then move
focus to textfield B, wicket writes the id of textfield A to the ajaxrequest,
saves the id of textfield B, removes focus from textfield B, handles
ajaxrequest (including any and all javascript) and then refocuses textfield B.
However, I want the text inside textfield B to be highlighted. I can append
javascript to the ajaxrequest to do #textfieldB.select() and set
focusComponent(null) on the AjaxRequestTarget but what if textfield B is not
the newly focused component? What if the focus instead went to checkbox C, for
instance? Since I don't know what element received the focus I can't check to
see if it's textfield B. That's why I'd like to be able to request the newly
focused component from the ajaxrequest.
AFAICT, this shouldn't be too much work, since the id of the newly focused
component is already saved, so it looks like it might just be a case of waiting
for that save to be done. But maybe that is an oversimplification and is it
quite tricky (or is the wait-time too long) to get the sending of the
ajaxrequest to wait for the new component to receive focus.
