AJAX :: PopUp A Form When A Text Field Is Clicked On?
Jun 23, 2009
I have looked all over the Internet for the last few hours and the main articles I can find are using JQuery or Prototype to handle validation. However, I am trying to work on a series of forms (They won't work with tabs due to their nature) which depend on other items in a database.So, what I want to do is if someone is inserting a record in Form 1 to input into Table 1 which has an ID from Table 2, it will pop up a new form (shadowing out Form 1, sort of like LightBox does) to create the new record into Table 2. Once this record is inserted successfully, it will return control to Form 1.I plan on making an OnKeyUp activate this script when someone clicks on the textfield to add a new category. I understand what I have posted may be a little confusing, but I basically just need to be pointed in the right direction with a couple of tutorials to follow for how to use AJAX to show forms.
Quote: <script type="text/javascript"> function emptyTitle() { if (document.getElementById('title').value=='Enter the Title for Your Post') {[code]......
However, the text that appears is black. How do I style it to make it gray and smaller?
javascript that would remove the initial value of a text field within a form once the web visitor clicks on it? Below is a link to the page in question as well as the code...
I am created a site where personal messages will be sent to other members. To do this I want to allow users to either type in the users seperating their name by ; (ie Joe Bloggs; Michael Jackson; Fred Flintstone). or alternativly have a popup box where all the names on the database are displayed in a list with a check box next to the names. I will be using PHP to interact with the database and know about this
My problem is getting details from the popup box and displaying them in the text field on the main browsers form? So if in the popup box the user checked Michael Jackson's name how would I get Michael Jackson to dispaly in the main browers field (input name ="to")?
I've got this hidden div that pops up using jQuery when the login menu item is clicked. <div class="entry-wrapper" id="reg-login" style="display:none;"> <div class="t"></div> <div id="loginFormHolder" class="c"> <div class="close"> <a href="index.php" class="spotlight-close"> </a> </div> <!-- close --> <div class="login"> <div> <!-- blank --> ..... What I'm trying to do is setting the input focus on the user_session_username text input and the code is not working. The div pops up but the focus is never put into the user_session_username edit field.
im trying to learn how jquery ajax function works by validating some form after submit is clicked.
[Code]....
the alert didnt pop until i added the registration_ok = false; right before, so im assuming it has something to do with the ajax functions's scope.... why does the ajax function not affect the registration_ok variable outside the function? and how should i solve this problem? any better way of doing it?
Have a small problem with a cms whereby when i try to insert default text into an input text field using the "value" attribute it gets deleted. I was thinking to force insert the text in there when the page load with javascript but not sure exactly how...
<p><input name="vericode" id="vericode" value="This text doesn't display!!" type="text" onclick="value=''"/></p>
I am having some issues with a form that has "name" "email" "address" text field the a comment section that has been pre filled with the followingI <name> of <address> blah blah blah blah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahSigned<name><address>Now my question is how do i get the form (made in html) pull what the user types in the text field and make it get added to the comment section of the form where the <name> <address> is required.Once filled out it is emailed to me.
I need to have a textbox of a form field greyed out, inaccessable, blocked, until a checkbox is checked(or if it's already activated, it becomes inaccessable when turned off.
Well basically me and a colleague are starting a social networking site based around the concept of easy to use AJAX.
Now I know using JS would be a setback for some people who do not support it but as the ages roll by more and more people do (Not a problem for us)
At the top of the page we display their name such as on MySpace:
Hello, MYNAME!
We want them to be able to double click on their name, or just one click and it turn into a text box with that value in it. And when their done just hit enter and it saves with AJAX.
I am no where near good with AJAX as I am with PHP.
Environment is PHP - MYSQL When the user changes the value of a select drop-down, I want to use Ajax and query one table of my database, retrieve three pieces of data, and place the data in three separate text fields in my form. Is there a simple tutorial out there that explains this?
I get the general concept of the separate php file for the query, but I'm pretty much lost.
I need to perform an Ajax request as someone is typing into a text field. But I don't want to trigger a request on every key press. What I need is to perform the request if a key has not be pressed for x number of milliseconds.I seen an answer here - Time Restraint - but I'm having difficulty applying it to my situation.I'm using jquery and this is a trimmed down version of my current code:
javascript Code: Original - javascript Code
I don't know how to change this function to use setTimeout in a way that lets me execute a trigger function on a control relative to the current field. Ideally I need to pass $(this) as a parameter for the function setTimeout calls, but I don't know how to do that when the function call is passed as a string.
I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right
Ajax and jQuery is something I'm new to, but PHP, Javascript, and MySQL I'm pretty well seasoned with.For starters, I want to create a simple form where there are these fields:Name (text field)E-mail (text feld)Zip Code (text field)Cell Phone Number (text field)Phone Carrier (dropdown menu)Thing is, I want to check the database to see if an e-mail address has already been entered. I'd like for that to happen after they enter the email address and tab or click out of the e-mail text field. For instance, after they enter an e-mail address and tab to the Zip Code field, the script queries the database to see if that e-mail exists already. If it does, it notifies the user and greys out the submit button. If not, they're allowed to finish filling the form out and submit. It'll be a huge time saver if this Ajax script is in place.
I have a scenario where I have the following jquery Code: $("#frompdc<?php echo $JavaCnt;?>").change(function(){ var id = $('#id<?php echo $JavaCnt;?>').attr('value'); var frompdc = $('#frompdc<?php echo $JavaCnt;?>').attr('value'); var topdc = $('#topdc<?php echo $JavaCnt;?>').attr('value'); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "AJ_Update.php", data: "firm=y&id="+ id + "&frompdc=" + frompdc&topdc=" + topdc });
And some php to insert this data Code: mysql_query("UPDATE TBLTRANSFERS SET FROMPDC = ".$_POST['frompdc'].", MOD_TS = '". $timenow ."' WHERE ID = ".$_POST['id']);
I'm trying to throw some validation in here which I can do in php (a language that I'm much more proficient in) but can't figure out how to get the two together. I want to be able to do a select against another table I have for both the frompdc and the topdc. Code: $tofpdcresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbltransferspdcexclusions where FROMPDC = '".$frompdc."' AND TOPDC = '".$topdc."'"); $tofpdcnum_rows = mysql_num_rows($tofpdcresult); And if it exists I want to give a popup message to the user as well as blank out the field.
I'm struggling with two things: How do I get ajax to run two queries and return the results to a popup window? How do I blank out the field in the form?
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
I am very green in Javascript but I am working on it, I was wondering if this is even possible:
I have a bit of information as just text on a page, what I would like to do is to have the text change according to which form button they select. The trick is that the text information is not in a form, its just in a table.
example:
Here would be blah blah blah
()<-bad impression of a button
once I select that button, the information above it would change to something different.
I have a form and inside the text fields I have a note that indicates: Type here your name...all this instead of having titles for each field. That text is set as initial value and the user has to highlight the text to delete it. What I am wondering is if there is a way to have the text but when the user clicks on the Field the text disappears and there is no need for deleting. I have seen this before but I can recall where.
I'm trying to change the value in a text field to red for the validation. (It's one of those forms with an intial value in the text field which is currently got a style attached to it. If they fail validation, by not having anything in the text field, I would like the initial value to turn red from a style in the style sheet.
Here's a bit of my code for the form: *NOTE=the onblur is to make the intial value dissapear on click in the field. Code:
The javascript below works perfectly using Firefox, but not Opera or IE.I have a button which I would like to clear the text in the input field with.The "onFocus" on the input field works fine in all browsers, but when clicking the "cross.gif"-button, it only works in Firefox.javascript:
Ive got a form with 3 text fields, one for first name, last name and one i dont what the user to be able to write things in(if that cant be done no biggy), when I hit submit, I want to move these two entries (first name and lastname) into uneditable text field so basically just combine the two, and then the user can add more names and it just keeps adding them to the end of the other text field... kinda hard to explain, basically like a chat type thing, where hitting enter just adds more names to the other text field except only you can see it.
I'm working on a web app where a profile is displayed to a user. The profile consists of data pulled from FB and LinkedIn via their respective API's. I'd like to provide the user with the ability to add more detail to the profile. I've scoured the web looking for a way to use Javascript to change an HTML element from a link to a form field but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.
For example...
Profile:
Education: College Add Major
And when the user clicks the "Add Major" link, it turns into a form field. I'm not much of a front end developer but I'm working alone on this project so I have to wear a few hats.
I have a form to add items to a database. In the sidebar next to the form I have a bunch of pre-defined items, I would like to be able to click on one the pre-defined items and have it add a populated text field to the form.
