Dropdownlist in toolbar leads to loss of focus in Safari

[Peter]

hi,

I have added a client event to the editor. Which result to the toolbar hiding when the editor loses focus. Found this on the fora

@using Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI
@model string
@{
    var documentName = ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix;
    var hideShowFunction = "HideShow" + documentName;
    string documentContent = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(ViewData.TemplateInfo.FormattedModelValue.ToString());

}

<script type="text/javascript">
function @(hideShowFunction)() {
        var editor = $("#@documentName").data("tEditor");
        $(editor.window).bind("focus", function () {
            $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").show();
        }).bind("blur", function () {
            $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").hide();
        });
      $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").hide();
}
</script>


@(
 Html.Telerik().Editor()
        .Name(documentName)
        .ClientEvents(events => events.OnLoad(hideShowFunction))
        .Value(documentContent)
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:120px" }))

This works great except for the dropdowns (like font size) in Safari. The moment the user selects the drop down the editor considers's it's focus lost and the toolbar disappears.

Is there a work-round for this ? We have a lot of Apple users and I do like Safari myself too. The solution has to be generic, as the editor is in a template.

kind regards

Hello Peter,

Most of the browsers (not Internet Explorer) loose focus when you click out of the Editor's area (for example DropDownItems in the font menu).
I would suggest to use the following work around: 

<script type="text/javascript">
function @(hideShowFunction)() {

        var editor = $("#@documentName").data("tEditor");
        $(editor.window).bind("focus", function () {
            $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").show();
        });

        $(document).click(function(e){
            if($(e.target).is('#@documentName, #@documentName *'))return;
            $('#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar').hide();
            if ($(e.target).is('.t-animation-container, .t-animation-container *')) {
                $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").show();
            }

        });

      $("#@documentName .t-editor-toolbar").hide();
}
</script>

The idea is to check if the click is outside the Editor's area or the DropDownElements you hide the header toolbar.
I hope this helps.

hi,

no that's not going to work. It does prevent the toolbar from disappearing. But...
What I don't like is hooking in the click of the document. And things go wrong with several editors on a page (we have up to 9...). Working in one editor pops up the toolbars of all other editors.

Back to the drawing board :?

Hello Peter,

If you want to hide wherever the user clicks outside the Editor you can use the following JavaScript function hooked to the OnLoad event on every editor.

function @(hideShowFunction)() {
        var editorElement = this;
        var editorID = editorElement.id;
        var editor = $(editorElement).data("tEditor");

        $(editor.window).bind("focus", function () {
            $(".t-editor-toolbar").hide();
            $(".t-editor-toolbar", editorElement).show();
        });

        $(document).click(function(e){
            if($(e.target).is('#'+editorID+', #'+editorID+' *'))return;
            if (!$(".t-editor-toolbar", editorElement).is(':visible')) return;
            $('.t-editor-toolbar', editorElement).hide();
            if ($(e.target).is('.t-animation-container, .t-animation-container *')) {
                $(".t-editor-toolbar", editorElement).show();
            }
        });

      $(".t-editor-toolbar", editorElement).hide();
}

If you do not want to handle when the user clicks outside any Editor and hide the header you can use the following JavaScript function hooked to the OnLoad event:

function onLoad(e) {
    var editor = $(this).data("tEditor");
    $(".t-editor-toolbar-wrap", editor.element).hide();
    $(editor.window).bind("focus", function () {
        OnEditorFocus(editor.element);
    });
}

function OnEditorFocus(editorElement) {
    $(".t-editor-toolbar-wrap", editorElement).show();
    $(".t-editor[id!=" + editorElement.id + "]").each(function () {
            HideEditorToolbar(this);
    });
}

function HideEditorToolbar(editorElement) {
    $(".t-editor-toolbar-wrap", editorElement).hide();
}
