Appending Uploadify Filenames Into Hidden Form Fields?
May 30, 2011
so I am working on getting the file names that are uploaded through uploadify entered into a database table - I am using the method posted here . Supposedly after all the uploads complete, a hidden form field should be appended to my form (form1) with the name of the file that was just uploaded (in the onComplete call) - the problem is after the file is uploaded, I don't see any hidden form fields in the page source, and also the filename that is being returned is not the unique name (in the upload script). Here is the code:
another problem im having is appending a value to a string. how come this function isnt working for me? string overwrites the value of content not gets added onto the end of it?!
function alertchange(value) { var string = value; document.update.content.value = document.update.content.value + string; }
I have a form with an inputbox and the value of that input box needs to be also assigned to a hidden field.[code]Here is the hidden field I need the above value assigned to.[code]
The problem is that when you click the link, the page simply reloads to a blank page with the only code being the hidden field. This is not what I want, I want the hidden field code to be passed along, and then for the form to submit. So, what should have is that the hidden field code is added, and then the form submits.
I'm trying to combine 3 form input fields into 1 that is hidden (Date of Birth). The input fields are DOB-MM, DOB-DD, and DOB-YYYY and the hidden field is DOB which will store the Date of Birth in the following format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Unfortunately I don't know javascript write a quick script that will combine these 3 fields and arrange them in the format required.
I have a form that has 50 text fields and a corresponding hidden field for each of these. i.e. textfield1 hiddenfield1 etc. When the textfield has data entered it calls a script but I want the script to change the corresponding hidden field but am stuck as to how to do this. I have the following function which gets called: function addOptions(currentRole) { document.addGroup.['use_role_'+currentRole].value='Y'; } How to get this work work. Where I have ['use_role_'+currentRole] the currentRole should be replaced with the number (1 - 50) so as to change use_role_23 if currentRole is 23.
I have a flash file that calls this JS function. It basically adds a number to a comma separated string. this works fine.
var select = ""; function selectCounty (cid){ select = cid + "," + select; } The flash also calls this function to remove a value from the string. The removeVal() function works. though, the *select* variable is not reforming into a string. I'm missing how to then put the array into a form that this is part of.
function unSelectCounty (cid){ // split the *select* string into an array var select_array = select.split(/,/);
// remove *cid* value from array unselect = removeVal(select_array, cid);
// reset *select* var select = ""; for (i=0;i<unselect.length;i++){ if (unselect[i] != ''){ select = unselect[i] + "," + select; } } } function removeVal(arr, valToRemove){ // Normalize to a string like !val!!val!!val! var s = '!' + arr.join('!!') + '!' // Remove targeted values with delimiters s = s.replace(new RegExp('!' + valToRemove + '!', 'g'), ''); // Remove delimiter added to end in step 1 s = s.replace(/^!/, ''); // Remove delimiter added to start in step 1 s = s.replace(/!$/, ''); // Convert to array return s.split('!!'); } Please help with these two problems-
1) i cant get the *select* string in unSelectCounty() to reform correctly. 2) i am unsure what to write so that the value of *select* is passed in POST form array. it can accept it either as an array or a string.
I am pretty new at javascript and I am trying to create a payment form that has both fields for payment by check and payment by credit card.I am wondering how I would go about having a radio button that asks the user how they would like to pay "credit card" or "check" and depending on which one they pick it shows the fields pertaining to that type of payment.the fields in the form look like this:Credit Card Fields:
I have a form I'm going to present to visitors. The goal is that when a visitor enters a Zip Code, for the form to compare that Zip Code submitted to Zip Codes that I'll hide in the form. I'm not sure if it's better to have the hidden zip code values as comma separated or just let them have their own individual hidden input fields. When the form is submitted, I need it to check and find out if the submitted zip code matches any of the hidden zip codes. If any of the hidden values match the submitted value, I want to be able to have a hidden div be shown, but if the form is submitted and there are no zip codes that match, show another div.
I'm trying out uploadify to upload images & files. Got it all working fine and got it so that it inserts the filename as a hidden form element so I can grab the filename on post and insert into the database -
But I want to rename the file in uploadify.php and pass the renamed value back to the form, so far, I can only get it sending back the original file name.
I have multiple fields in a form with the same name. Lets call the fields with the same name "junk_array". My first field of junk_array is a input type=hidden. All the others fields in junk_array that follow are type=text. I can reference this first hidden field in IE with document.form.field[0].value. In, fact my form works absolutely wonderful in IE 6. However, netscape 4.7 does not recognize my first field in the array as the hidden field. Netscape sees the first visible text field as the first field in the array, subscript 0. What totally and utterly perplexes me, is that, from a previous thread, I can do this and get 9999 back in an alert box in Netscape and IE. So, this proves Netscape doesn't have some evil code that disregards hidden fields. I guess...
I even copied these fields directly below the opening <form> tag in my form and both Netscape and IE see the first hidden field as as subscript 0.
However, my form is much more complicated. I have tables within tables and about 30 other fields. In my form I cannot for the life of me get Netscape to recognize the first hidden field of junk_array to zed as index 0.
Somehow, If I make the first type=hidden fields visible, netscape does work nicely. Why when I toggle type=hidden to type=text does Netscape cooperate. What is happening here? Anyone else have this problem with hidden fields in Netscape? I could post the code to my form but it is big.
There are two input fields in a form, but only one of them is required, they are not required at the same time. Either A or B is required. ( A is required OR B is required). In other words, a user can input data to field A, or he can input data to filed B, but he can not input data to Both A and B at the same time. How to implement this constraint in Jquery form validation?
I have a basic text input field that is validated with jquery.
I've created a function to append to a url once the user has input an ID into the text field.
However, when I use the window.open method, a new window opens, and when I use window.location, the user ID is appended to the current url and not the url defined in the function.
Here is the function:
Here is the markup:
When a user clicks on the 'submit' button without entering anything into the text field, a new window opens (I know, the function uses the window.open), when I close the new window - the jquery works, a label saying 'this field is required' appears.
When a user inputs an ID, and then clicks on the 'submit' button, a new window opens with the correct appended url.
What I need to have happen is - if the text field is empty and the user clicks on the 'submit' button - I don't want the function to run.
When I switch window.open to window.location, then when the user inputs an ID into the text field, that ID is appended to the CURRENT url and not the url specified in the function. I don't have the luxury of server side scripting.
I have this snippet of javascript that is supposed to add additional input fields when a user requests them, which it does just fine. However, when the new field is added, if any of the existing fields had a value, the value gets erased.
Here is the code:
Code JavaScript:
if (document.getElementById('morestores') != null && document.getElementById('initialStore') != null) { var trid = document.getElementById('morestores'); var idiv = document.getElementById('initialStore');
I dynamically create a hidden form field with some javascript. It works fine, the field gets created and filled in with whatever the user types in the prompt popup. But even though I have specified type="hidden" it is still displaying the field contents at the bottom of my form.
var newvar = document.createElement('input'); newvar.setAttribute('name',varname); newvar.setAttribute('type','hidden'); newvar.setAttribute('value',Prompt.show("Enter notes")); document.mainform.appendChild(newvar);
I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the hidden types to text (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.
What I want to do is add two Text Fields in the html page where the above code is given to allow clients to add text and somehow "feed" this text to the values of the hidden fields Param1 and Param2. This way, the added text will show up in the page outside of my website where the clients are taken after they submit the form.
Sorry if I?m posting this in the wrong forum but I couldn?t figure out through an internet search if js is required for what I want to do. I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the ?hidden? types to ?text? (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.

I'm poking at a small "single page application" (SPA), ala TiddlyWiki, to act as kind of a local, single-user version of Twitter (no real application, except to familiarize myself with JavaScript). Right now I'm using a hidden field to hold JSON, which is currently my flat-file database of posts.
Is there a better way to store JSON data in a SPA other than hidden fields? I'm Googling now to allay or confirm my concerns, but I'm worried that there may be some upper limit to how much data you can cram in the value of one.
I'm using JSON mostly because (a) I really prefer it to XML in JavaScript applications, (b) it seems (key word, "seems") smart to separate my post data from posts (so I can show n-number of posts at a time), and (c) I really dislike parsing XML in JavaScript when JSON seems like a viable alternative. (Though, given my size/space if JSON isn't going to work, I'm not averse to using XML.)
I've an input field in the form which is displayed based on the user selection. Initially it is set to 'display:none' and I do have a validation rule for that field.
How do I skip validation on this hidden input field and only validate when its displayed on the page.
This is a question for anybody familiar with rich text editors. Does anybody know why hidden form fields always appear as visible text fields in IE and not firefox? Just curious if you have experienced this with any RTE you have used or developed.
I'm having a problem using javascript with a form. I'm using javascript to determine whether or not a person has selected "yes" or "no" from the select list. If "yes" is selected, the form is supposed to slide down and reveal two more fields. If "no" is selected, the form is supposed to slide back up hiding those two fields again.
When "yes" is selected, the form displays the two new fields properly. In Safari, it does the slideDown animation, yet in Firefox, the new form fields just suddenly display. If I select "no" again, nothing happens. The slideUp animation doesn't play. So currently I am having to use $("#parent1").hide(); to get the "no" to trigger.
