[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Menu - Browser back button focus issue

[Feuerstein Andreas]

Hi Paul,

 

thanks for your answer!

 

Unfortunately I need the behaviour that shows the background image on
focus (to highlight menu items when pressing the tab key to move the
cursor). With your solution the tab functionality would be gone,
wouldn't it?

 

Best Regards,

Andreas

Hi again Andreas,

 

This has very little to do with OpenCms, but what the hell :)

 

You're seeing the background image because you told the browser to
display it for links with focus:

 

.visual-nav a:hover img, .visual-nav a:focus img {

    display: block;

}

 

Upon clicking the back button, the browser will show the previous page
in its last known state. In that state, the link that's seemingly
misbehaving *has focus*. Hence the background image is visible - as well
as any other focus styles.

 

Try this for a fix:

 

.visual-nav a:hover img {

    display: block;

}

.visual-nav a:focus img {

    display: none;

}

 

HTH. :) As always, Google has plenty more info.

 

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

 

thanks for your reply. 

 

Your solution removes the outline, but doesn't solve my problem. 

 

I use background images for active menu items, hovered menu items and
focused menu items. When pressing the browser's back button, the
previous selected menu item still displays the background image. Maybe
my css kann show you what I mean:

 

.visual-nav a img {

    display: none;

}

.visual-nav .active_menu img {

    display: block;

    height: 2.75em;

    width: 16.167em;

}

 

.visual-nav a:hover, .visual-nav a:focus {

    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

    text-decoration: none;

}

.visual-nav a:hover img, .visual-nav a:focus img {

    display: block;

}

 

My menu entries (inactive & active) look like this:

 

<li>

<a href="/test/">

<img alt="" src="http://my-domain.com/images/bg-active.gif">

<span class="gradient">Menu entry</span>

</a>

</li>

 

<li>

                <span class="menu_active">

<a href="/test/">

<img alt="" src="http://my-domain.com/images/bg-active.gif">

</a>

</span>

</li>

 

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Andreas,

 

Looks like the last clicked link's "outline" style is still present
after skipping back in the browser.

 

Try adjusting the CSS. (outline:none;)

 

Cheers,

Paul

Hi,

 

I found an error on the focus settings.

 

1.       Select a menu entry

2.       Select another menu entry

3.       Press browser's back button

 

The focus remains on the previously selected menu entry. The expected
behaviour would be that the focus is moved to the active menu entry.

 

This can be reproduced here (you see the problem by using a submenu):
http://demo.opencms.org/ in combination with Firefox & IE.

 

Do you have a solution for this?

 

Best regards,

Andreas
