How to execute something after an event (a reverse e.preventDefault()) ?

in Using jQuery • 12 years ago

Hi,

I know the title is not so good, it's hard to explain the simply thing I'd like to do.

In fact, I'm looking for a reverse e.preventDefault() method, something like that :

$(document).keydown(function (e){
if ( e.keyCode == 9)
{
e.reversePreventDefault();
//do something...
}
}

I'd like to catch the focused link/input/whatever when I'm using tabulation.

Thanks :)

what is the reverse to prevent default? technically speaking it is not reversing the default, meaning the default action takes place. to get that result, simply dont include the e.preventDefault.

if you want to run code OR prevent default, you would do this:

$(document).keydown(function (e){
if ( e.keyCode == 9) {
//do something...
} else {
e.preventDefault();
}
}

however i'm not sure what this accomplishes or what you are trying to do with it.

Well in fact I'd like to do this :

There is 5 links, each one got an ID (1 to 5), try to focus (by tabulation) them.

no idea what you are trying to do with the preventdefault but this will return your ID's

$('a').focus(function(){
console.log($(this).attr('id'))
});

if there is a bigger picture here, it's not being described very well

I was focused on $(document).keydown and I didn't think about focus(), thank you very much :)
