TEB and Function Key JS code

[SN020218]

Hello Rod,

In one of my simulation, I have losts to TEBs. After entering the text you need to press the Function Key (in this case F3). To do the shortcut, I am using the below script. This works amazing when its with just the click boxes.

Anyways, the issue that I am facing is, once I cross the slide that executes this JS, the TEB stops working. It does not allow me to enter any text further.

$(function(){
//Yes! use keydown 'cus some keys is fired only in this trigger,
//such arrows keys $("body").keydown(function(e){
//well you need keep on mind that your browser use some keys
//to call some function, so we'll prevent this e.preventDefault();

//now we caught the key code, yabadabadoo!!
var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;

//your keyCode contains the key code, F1 to F12
//is among 112 and 123. Just it. console.log(keyCode);
});
});

Please let me know if you know any fix for this issue.

Seems like maybe your TEB is losing focus.

I know I had issues once with a TEB constantly losing focus so I had to force it.

Also - is that all of your code - or is there more?

From what you've shown, it looks like there is an extra set of   });  at the end.

Or perhaps simply the commenting out of lines is leaving the active code in such a way that things break.

Yeah thats all is the code.

Even  I click on the TEB to get its focus back, it still doesnt type. I can attach the cptx file here to test.

What if you try something like this...

The question is - what do you want to have happen when the user presses F3?

In the script shown below - we add the listener which calls the function each time a key is pressed.

The Key Code for  F3  is 114 so we can then include an if statement within the function that is called each time a key is pressed such that if our variable equals 114 to go ahead and do something.

This code assumes a TEB with the ID of  entryBox and a Captivate variable called key.

This is placed in the on Enter action for the slide.
