Javascript keaboard events for function keys f1 to f12

-
Using the function keys in a web application is a dicey situation.  Several of the keys have specific uses in the browser and these keys should be avoided at all costs.  Additionally, the keys all have a semantic meaning in the UI standards of various operating systems.  But if you insist on using function keys, here’s a handy matrix for how they map and what events they can be used from.



Key Windows Semantic Meaning onKeyDown onKeyPress* onKeyUp Notes
F1 Help 112 112 N/A Don’t use this, it will open the browser’s help regardless of the way you process this key.
F2 Undo 113 113 113
F3 Redo 114 114 N/A
F4 New 115 115 115
F5 Open/Refresh N/A N/A 116 Don’t use this… ever.  It always refreshes the browser and this functionality cannot be overridden.
F6 Close 117 117 N/A
F7 Reply 118 118 N/A In Firefox this brings up the dialog to turn off caret browsing.  You should avoid this key.
F8 Forward 119 119 119
F9 Send 120 120 120
F10 Spell 121 121 121
F11 Save/Full Screen 122 122 122 DON’T USE THIS!  This causes the browser to go full screen (just about all browsers have this now).  The semantic meaning of Save should be transferred to F6 which is semantically Close by default.
F12 Print 123 123 123

* IE does not support the onKeyPress event for function keys!

You’ll notice several keys don’t show up in the onKeyUp event.  I have no idea why this behavior exists.

Restore the lost focus of Auto post back controls in asp.net update Panel control

-
Problem: We put  autopostback controls like textbox, DropDownList controls inside in update panel to reducing the flickering of the Page.but when user uses tab for entering the details  the focus of the control losts. Web site users who prefer to use keyboard need to use mouse to activate appropriate input box or press TAB multiple times. Solution: Step 1: Save following in js file give any name to it (like MyUpdatePanelFocus.js ) var lastFocusedControlId = ""; function focusHandler(e) { document.activeElement = e.originalTarget; } function appInit() { if (typeof (window.addEventListener) !== "undefined") { window.addEventListener("focus", focusHandler, true); } Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_pageLoading(pageLoadingHandler); Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_pageLoaded(pageLoadedHandler); } function pageLoadingHandler(sender, args) { lastFocusedControlId = typeof (document.acti

Disable backspace key using Jquery

-
Disable backspace key in HTML form using Jquery in simple steps. While user enters data into application if user accidentally  press backspace button then it will redirect to previous page and all entered data would be lost. to eliminate this event we can disable the backspace key using Jquery. Following is the JQuery script tag you can add to the web page $(document).keydown(function (e) { var nodeName = e.target.nodeName.toLowerCase(); if (e.which === 8) { if ((nodeName === 'input' && e.target.type === 'text') || nodeName === 'textarea') { // do nothing } else { e.preventDefault(); } } }); The above code can be used seamlessly with any web technology you are using. Hope this will help you in your web application. Happy coding:)

Clone a generic list in C# using extension method

-
In practical situation you need to clone of object so that change in cloned object will not affect the original one. If you need a cloned list with the same capacity you need to do some extra stuff with your user type. I came up with this easy solution using ICloneable interface in your custom type class. The first step you need to implement the ICloneable interface in your class like below. public class MyClassDto : ICloneable { public Int64 Id { get; set; } public string Time { get; set; } public int user{ get; set; } public object Clone() { return new MyClassDto{ Date = this.Date, Id = this.Id, user = this.user}; } } after that you need to add extension method in common class so that you can use it everywhere you want. public static class Extensions { public static List<T> Clone<T>(this List<T> listToClone) where T : ICloneable { return listToClone.Select(item

Angular User Session Timeout example step by step

-

This functionality let the user know that their session is about to expire and that they would be logged out if they didn’t take action. I have written this functionality in Angular for my latest application.  If you are new to Angular 6 then read my article about Setting up Angular 6 step by step before jump to this article to get handy in Angular 6. Dealing with timers in Angular can be significantly different when using React components and subscriptions. The basic premises remains the same, though. We’ll have a service with a timer that will provide a Subject to which consumers of the service can subscribe. A React Subject provides an easy mechanism to trigger a “next” subscription to alert consumers that the timer has expired. import { Injectable } from '@angular/core' ; import { Observable, Subject, Subscription, BehaviorSubject} from 'rxjs/Rx' ; @Injectable() export class IdleTimeoutService {      private _count: number = 0
