I'm currently working on a Bookmarklet for Maximo, which is a Java EE application, and I need to populate a few input boxes.
Generally when a use inputs data into the box they click a button that gives them a popup and they search for the value to be added to the script. Or they can type the name and hit tab/enter and it turns it to capital letters and does a few things in the background (not sure what it does exactly).
I currently use
Javascript: $('mx1354').value = "KHBRARR"; $('mx1354').ov= "KHBRARR";
But it does not work like I need it to. It set's the input box to the value needed, but it doesn't run the background functions so when I hit the save button it doesn't recognize it as any changes and discards what I put into the box.
How could I simulate a tab/enter button has been pressed?
So far I've tried to call the onchange, focus/blur, and click functions (Not 100% sure if I called them correctly).
The dojo library is part of the application, so I'm not sure if I can use one if it's feature or if jQuery would cause a conflict.
P.S. This needs to run in IE.
The OnChange Function:
function tb_(event)
{
event = (event) ? event : ((window.event) ? window.event : "");
if(DESIGNMODE)
return;
var ro = this.readOnly;
var exc=(this.getAttribute("exc")=="1");
switch(event.type)
{
case "mousedown":
if(getFocusId()==this.id)
this.setAttribute("stoptcclick","true");
break;
case "mouseup":
if (isIE() && !hasFocus(this))
{
this.focus();
}
if (isBidiEnabled)
{
adjustCaret(event, this); // bidi-hcg-AS
}
break;
case "blur":
input_onblur(event,this);
if (isBidiEnabled) // bidi-hcg-SC

After some time I found that in order to make a change to the page via JavaScript you need to submit a hidden form so it can verify on the back-end.
Here is the code I used to change the value of Input fields.
cc : function(e,v){
e.focus(); //Get focus of the element
e.value = v; //Change the value
e.onchange(); //Call the onchange event
e.blur(); //Unfocus the element
console.log("TITLE === "+e.title);
if(e.title.indexOf(v) != -1) {
return true; //The value partially matches the requested value. No need to update
} else {
//Generate an hidden form and submit it to update the page with the new value
var hiddenForm = getHiddenForm();
var inputs = hiddenForm.elements;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentid").value = e.id;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentvalue").value = v;
inputs.namedItem("event").value = "X"; //Send a Dummy Event so the script see's its invalid and sets the right Event
submitHidden();
}
//Value isn't set to the required value so pass false
return false;
}
