In Microsoft Access 2007 the Textbox can be set to display a cut-down version of HTML as richtext.
However, there does not seem to be an easy way to detect what has been clicked within the box itself.
For instance, you can display a classic HTML <a> tag that appears as a link but clicking it doesn't generate any event.
I'd like to know what has been clicked, somehow.
Any idea?
I don't have A2007 to test this, but if clicking the link sets the cursor position, you could check the rich text control's .SelStart property (while it has the focus), but I don't know what event you'd use to trap this. OnEnter and OnGotFocus seem to be too early, and OnChange won't fire just for clicking a link, but the control's OnClick event might do the trick.
If so, you'd have to parse forward and back from the selection point to figure out if you're in a hyperlink, and I'm not sure exactly how that works in the A2007 richtext control.
Sorry I can't be of more help, .OnClick combined with .SelText might work if the click on a hyperlink sets the cursor position within the clicked hyperlink.

I am trying to navigate through a webpage using just my keyboard. Through the use of my tab key I can enter in data into several input boxes, and press several submit buttons.
However I run into a problem when trying to set focus to an image element on the page. For some reason it does not allow me to select it with the tab key. I can click on it with my mouse and then a popup appears but this really slows down efficiency.
I have considered creating a script in VBA to do this but right now I would prefer a quick-fix without having to spend hours developing a macro.
NOTE: I did quickly try to assign the reference to the <img> element and use the Click and Focus methods in VBA but that didn't work. I don't get an error, the code runs fine but nothing happens on the webpage. This leads me to think that this will be a bigger project than it appears, hence my reluctance to go down that path.
I did a bit of research and it seems that tabindex is not supported by the <img> element. Does that mean what I am trying to accomplish is impossible with the keyboard? Is code my only option?
If anyone knows anything that could help in VBA by all means I will take your advice into consideration.
Unfortunately the webpage is password protected and its a company account therefore I cannot post it.
After right-clicking inspect element in my Chrome browser this is what I see:
<img alt="View Quantities At Other Locations" src="/WebOrder/Images/CheckQtys.gif"
title="View Quantities At Other Locations" class="popup"popupdirection="upperleft"
popupwidth="380" popupcontent="#ProductQuantitiesForAccessibleBranches"
onbeforepopupcreate="onBeforePopupCreate_GetProductQuantitiesForAccessibleBranches(this)"
popupajaxformid="GetProductQuantitiesForAccessibleBranches"
onbeforepopupajaxpost="onBeforePopupAjaxPost_GetProductQuantitiesForAccessibleBranches(this)"
oncompletepopupajaxpost="onCompletePopupAjaxPost_GetProductQuantitiesForAccessibleBranches(this)"
productguid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000058927" displayitem="732899500"
brandguid="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" brandname="" brandsku="">
Does anyone have any ideas how I can set focus to this element (either with my keyboard or VBA)?
You can focus on a div using <div tabindex=0> Stuff Here </div>. Place the image inside the div and use the div to manipulate it.
I have code what make some text-link opening when the mouse point to the link
example
what code to make this mouseover open new tab, if just code like that, it will open in the same tab.
From a usability perspective this seems like a bad idea to open a new tab on mouse over.
Is there a reason you can open the link on click and use target="_blank" to open in a new tab?
For example:
example
To open a hyperlink 'on mouse over' use the HTML attribute:
onmouseover
'onmouseover' captures the moment that a cursor crosses the boundary of an element, moving from outside to inside the element to which the attribute is applied.
You will also need to use the:
window.open
JavaScript method.
Combine the two into a hyperlink and you get the following:
This hyperlink to Web Design CT opens via onmouseover

I have an element that fires some javascript on click.
Partially covering the element is a mostly-transparent graphic, which passes all events to that element. This way, regardless of if the overlay or the element is clicked, the element gets the events.
I'm trying to write a test in selenium that clicks the element under test and verifies the behavior, however the chrome webdriver tells me it can't click the element because the overlay will get the click event.
That is fine, though... How do I tell selenium that I don't care, to click anyways? I don't want to specifically click the overlay (in this test), the overlay is just eye-candy so the test should still work even if I remove the overlay.
edit:
To make clear... I want it to click in wherever it would have, if the overlay wasn't there. this way it'll click the element if there is no overlay, but click the overlay if covered.
You will not be able to click on the object under the overlay as Selenium has been written to only access what a user can access. If a manual user cannot click through then neither can Selenium.
You could either fire JavaScript directly on that object via the javascript_executor method, or alternatively, perform the interaction which will remove the overlay in your test
I could resolve this issue: In my application top header was visible and i clicked on one of the top elements (which was visible) and could continue with rest of the script execution
I solved this issue by clicking the coordinates of the close button.
Check out this answer. I showed how to click on the little "x" there, without needing to know the name of the actual button. Sometimes its easier to find the class of the image, for example.
Worst case, find the closest element to the button and change the last method to move_to_element_with_offset(element,x, y) to go from the element you found to the coordinates of the button on screen.
Once you do that, the overlay disappears and you can click as normal.
Anyone with firefox browser can you open up this fiddle.
The issue I have is with this checkbox button I have, it requires multiple clicks to turn it off and my question is how can I stop this from happening? I know its the posistion:relative which is causing this but I need this so that every time I click on a button, it does not go to the top of the page. I just want the button to turn on and off in one click, not multiple clicks
(See comments below the question - now I know what happens to you)
Ahhh - you cannot solve this without Javascript: quick (double?) click on the TEXT ITSELF is interpreted as "select text" by the browser, and it does not send the event to the checkbox when that happens. With Javascript you can force "un-select" of the text on click.
Click "slowly" - avoiding double click text selection - and it will work (just to show the cause of the problem, no solution without Javascript or proprietary CSS).
Try adding this: Prevent text selection after double click
Maybe you should use a full Javascript Checkbox-Button solution instead of trying to accomplish it with just CSS.
Take a look at this sample: http://jsbin.com/imivek/1/edit
Clicking the text field, which is part of the label, behaves oddly in Firefox (tested in v17.0.1):
Clicking it once will give it focus for a very brief period of time, after which the focus moves to the radio button.
Clicking it twice shortly after each other will maintain focus.
Focusing it by other means (f.e. tab) will work fine and as expected.
Handling the text field's click event and preventing it from bubbling up (e.stopPropagation() in jQuery terms) doesn't change anything.
Who can explain this behavior and recommend how to best work around it?
You may have only one form control inside a label. You have two. Your HTML is invalid so weird behaviour is to be expected as browsers attempt to compensate for your mistake.
Clicking it once will give it focus for a very brief period of time, after which the focus moves to the radio button.
You clicked on the label. That sets the focus to the radio button (since the label appears to be a label for it).
Clicking it twice shortly after each other will maintain focus.
Probably some sort of error recovery
Focusing it by other means (f.e. tab) will work fine and as expected.
You aren't clicking the label then
Handling the text field's click event and preventing it from bubbling up (e.stopPropagation() in jQuery terms) doesn't change anything.
It is native functionality, not scripted functionality.
Write valid HTML.
Why do you have two <input>'s in the same <label>? What are you trying to do? A label is supposed to be bound to one input element and act as a caption for it, so that when you click it, the input takes focus.
