I am writing a web-based quiz application which involves users in a series of answers arranged in a grid. This is implemented with a <table> containing lots of text fields (<input>).
These answers all start with lower case letters, but while testing I have discovered that on Android devices, the on-screen keyboard opens by default with the Shift key selected, thus automatically capitalising the first letter of each text field. This behaviour quickly becomes annoying when trying to complete this quiz, as every time you select a new cell in the table, you first have to deselect the shift key before you can type the answer.
Is there anything I can do to request that Android launches the keyboard without the Shift key selected?

I work writing messages on text boxes on a NON SECURE website interface of a company. I work from my pc and google chrome with no spy programs installed because i work from home on my own pc!
They do not want people to paste messages, but there are some words that I repeat a lot and I would like to use text expanders for those words or small expression.
My question is, is it possible that the company read and saves the keys that are digited on a text box BEFORE sending them the final message that I wrote?
Example, I could create a shortcut and use GDM to write Good Morning, is it possible that the company understand that I wrote GDM instead of good morning into the text box of that I pasted a word even if the final sent message will be Good Morning and not GDM? Will they be able to record my pressed keys like CTRL C and V or GDM instead of good morning?
Yes, It is possible to implement a javascript keylogger that logs every keystroke on that page. In your scenario the company would "benefint" from it, if they really want to detect pasting messages.
However this can be tricked by any application that calls the OS's native function that simulates the keystrokes and doesnt use keyboard shorcuts for the text expansion.
I am a Junior developer working on a bug I found for my company. My main experience is with backend but the company wants to train me for fullstack development.
We are using Angular for our frontend, and have floating filtering for one of our data grids. The bug can be summarized as follows: When a column's floating filter text box is selected, regardless of input, pressing the enter key calls specific methods that are mapped to buttons that exist in other areas of the page. I am stumped as to what might be causing this.
I have an advanced search form that terms/rows can be added to dynamically. I have noticed that the larger the form, then slower the form is when you click in a text field. Sometimes, you click in a text field and wait around 2 seconds on a moderately sized form before anything typed shows up.
It only happens when the text field is initially empty - and only in Safari.
I discovered that if I go into the Safari Preferences, go to the "Autofill" tab, and turn off all "Autofill web forms" checkboxes, the form is zippy - no lag. Apparently, Safari is trying to figure out how to suggest things to enter, like info from my contact card, usernames and passwords, credit cards, etc...
This advanced search form doesn't seem relevant to any of that (unless it tracks repeatedly entered search terms...?). So here are my questions:
Is there a way to tell Safari to not look for autofill possibilities, so that my form doesn't have this lag in Safari?
If #1 isn't an option, is there a way to make Safari's suggestions more efficient - so it can more quiickly figure out that there's nothing to suggest?
Regarding #2, my text fields have no label. The "labels" are the values chosen in the preceding select lists. Here's an example:
Note that after the 1-2 second delay, the autofill icon appears in the field:
Could adding hidden labels make Safari's autofill feature more efficient?
I tried and failed with various "solutions" I found here on stack:
Set attribute autocomplete="off" in both the form and input elements
Added a hidden label both above and below the input tag
Added a class name suggesting the input field type
Tried a javascript solution
None of them worked. I still experienced a delay between clicking in a field and being able to enter text - and the user icon still presented phone number suggestions from my contact card.
I read an old, but otherwise helpful article about how to coax autofill to fill in the correct information. It didn't mention the solution I stumbled upon, but it inspired me to try it...
I added a placeholder attribute to the text input in my django form class:
val = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={"placeholder": "search term"}))
And that did it! Now when I click in a search term field (which now shows "search term" in light gray - which is grudgingly OK with me), I can enter text right away and the autofill icon does not appear!:
Pretty new to windows phone development...
I'm trying to create an input view that contains a number pad for inputting a sales amount. I know that if you were inputting a number into a text box, you can set the input scope to numeric and then when you click in the text box, a number pad will come up but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I quite literally want the lower half of this screen to be just a number pad that is always up. There is no text box. Rather, as the user is punching in numbers, it'll be displayed in a textblock (a lot like you'd see in a calculator app). I'm not seeing a control for this and google just keeps bringing me back posts about InputScope. I was even thinking of maybe a hack-around where there's an invisible textbox that always has focus, causing the numberpad to always be up, but I don't even know how to cause that behavior either.
Is there a control or technique for this or am I going to have to roll a new user control? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I would recommend creating your own custom control. That would be the best solution for your condition. There is no inbuilt solution for this situation. I was stuck in the same condition and created a new control with a custom keyboard and a textblock.
And for the hack you mentioned. You can register the LostFocus event of the textbox control and focus the control again using Focus() method of Textbox everytime is loses focus.
I currently have a form in access which has text boxes which refreshes itself every time you click on it. I am assuming that access has a dynamic way of updating the tables, ie as soon as you move the cursor away from the text box, it updates the tables. Is there any way of making this static ie. I should have a button which after clicking updates a set of text boxes into the table. Although this is not a feature which is desired, I am planning to use this to prevent multiple users corrupting the data in the table.
What you're asking for is standard behavior... The record will not be saved until the record has lost focus, rather than the field. If your form is saving after each field loses focus (desired in some applications) it has been set up that way (probably with an OnChanged event on the textbox).
