date popup calender doesn't popup when reach to text-field via tab

The patch applies to 6.x-2.x-dev, not to 6.x-2.8 directly.

date_popup_focus.patch queued for re-testing.

Had the same issue on 7.x, so I rerolled the patch for 7.x .

Not sure if related, but if you start in a field above the date popup field and tab to the date popup field, the first time the popup will not trigger, as mentioned in the issue. But another issue is that when you tab again to go to the next field (time field next to the date popup field in my case), the focus is put somewhere else entirely (toolbar in my case). If you then click in your first field again and tab towards the date popup field, when you reach the date popup field, the popup will show. Tab again and you will reach the time field as you would have expected the first time through. From then on everything works as it should. It just doesn't seem to work the first time round.

PS: This was on 7.x

I had the same issue but I solved it with this little trick into my Javascript file:

$('#myfield').find('.form-text').trigger('focus');
$('#myfield').find('.form-text').trigger('blur');

Cheers.

adding filename

This is not resolved in 7.x-2.x.

Problem

First-time tabbing to a datepicker field does not open the calendar.
First-time tabbing to a timeEntry field prevents the user from tabbing further.

Reproduction

Create a date popup field, navigate to the field using TAB.

Reason

Drupal.behaviors.date_popup tries to lazy-load the datepicker instances. Instead of triggering a focus event when the plug-in is loaded, makeFocusHandler binds to the click event. The click event will fire after focus when if the field is clicked the first time, but if tabbed to, the plugin wont run before tabbed to a second time.

Solution

Either remove the lazy-loading entirely (initialize date pickers in the behavior), or trigger a focus event after initializing the plugin on the field (same approach as in earlier posts). Patch for triggering focus attached.

(Also, unbinding makeFocusHandler after its first call should be more effective than checking for the date-popup-init class on subsequent focus events.)

@Jelle_S (#5) I had similar issue with tabbing order on date/time. Go to 'Date popup' under configuration > Change Timepicker from 'Use default jQuery timepicker' to 'Manual time entry, no jQuery timepicker'. Then tab order works ok.

Patch from #7 works great so far here. Thanks!

Confirmed this is still happening.

Re-rolled for 7.x-2.x

Confirm the patch addresses the issue. Normal tabbing forward and backwards now works.

Checking patch date_popup/date_popup.js...

Applied patch date_popup/date_popup.js cleanly.

Committed. Thanks.
