Pop-up keyboard

[shawkz]

hi, i want to have a pop up keypad or keyboard which i can press the keys and it will populate a textfield on the page. Is it possible to have the keyboard as a seperate page which i can add as an include page? Anyone know the best way to do this?

kindest regards.

Anyone know the best way to do this?

Maybe it's just me, but I'd start by looking on google.

If you are going to do this, it will require Javascript. Before you even begin code - is this actually an option for the type of solution you are developing? If it is for small screen hand-helds then you will need to confirm the support of Javascript.

And check with Google... of course

hi, i have mapped a keyboard out on my htm page and want to populate a text field on an onclick event.. an example button..

<input type="button" name="1" style="Width: 40px; Height: 40px;" class="buttontext" value="1" onClick="Select1()">

this works fine but i dont want to repeat the code below for each letter & number in the alphabet.
can anyone show me how to put it in a loop? Need to pass the letter number to the function and retuen it to the textfiled? there is also a clear button, back space, etc...

function Select1() {
if (form1.hiddenPointer.value == 0) {
if (form1.textfield_Start.value.length > -1)
string = document.form1.textfield_Start.value + "1";
else
string = document.form1.textfield_Start.value
document.form1.textfield_Start.value = string;
}
else {
if (form1.textfield_End.value.length > -1)
string = document.form1.textfield_End.value + "1";
else
string = document.form1.textfield_End.value
document.form1.textfield_End.value = string;
}
}

kindest regards...

Rename your function from "Select1" to "SelectChar". Then, change this:

onClick="Select1()"

to this:

onclick="SelectChar(this.value);"

this:

function Select1() {

to this:

function SelectChar(whichChar) {

and then all occurrences of "1" within the function to "whichChar" (but without the quotes).

That should get you started.

Hope this helps,
Dan
