Clearing Default Form Values On Submit
Oct 8, 2010
I've read a few solutions to this, but none seem to fit what I'd like to do. I'm quite new to JavaScript, so I'm trying to learn various solutions to problems and also what can and can't be done.
What I'd like to know is can you, on submit, check all the form values on a page, or indeed within a specific form on a page, for their default values, and if any still have their default values as the text within that box, clear that value.
So using some generic form values as an example, if I had a form that had three text fields Name, Email, and Phone, all by default populated by their respective names, if someone changed the value of Name to "Adenv" but left the other two, on submit the script would change the values to:
With *blank* indicating a blank field. Is this possible?

On this page http://bit.ly/gAajO3 I have a comment form and would like the input and textarea contents to turn to blank when a user clicks on them, however this is not working for me. Would like to know what is going wrong if someone can spot it.Also on submit I want the input and textarea to be cleared if their value is 'Please type here'. This is working on the name input and textarea, however it seems the email field is not being cleared,

I am using jQuery AJAX to submit a form. When the data has been validated successfully and processed, I want to clear the form, but I am unsure how. I have been trying to make it work for a few hours now.
I am showing status messages in the container below:
When everything was successful, it looks like this:
And here is the simple code I use to clear the text fields:
What I need is a way to check if everything was successful and if so, then run the code above. I tried to do it in a few ways, but it kept clearing regardless of the status.

I need to clear the default value from a textarea when a user clicks on the textarea and then replace it if the user clicks away from the textarea without modifying it. I have managed to accomplish this with the textfields in my forms but I am struggling to get the textarea element to mimic this behavior. Here is the script I am using:

In the following .submit function, I am attempting to grab the value of the selected option in the facilityCodes dropdown list when I click the submit button and then during the submit function,select the facilityCode again in the dropdown list when the page reloads and then disable the list so that the user cannot change it.However,the situation is when I reload the page after the submit button is clicked the dropdown defaults to the first option and the list is enabled.I apparently am not understanding how.submit works so that I'm selecting the option I'm defining in my code below and then disabling the list AFTER the page reloads due to an error on the page. My question is how can I accomplish this?Here is my code:
$(function() {
$("#ARTransferForm").submit(function() {
var msgsCount = 0;[code]....

I have a form that gets automatically filled based on the values returned by my php file. Then the form elements have their values filled.
Now the problem is, I have set few additional show and hide <div> tags based on the values of some other fields. So when the form loads, the <div> tag doesnt show up and stays hidden only as the event that activates it is based on the radio button's change event function.
So my question is, as the form loads, how can I have these <div> show/hide based on the default values of the text fields on which they depend upon....
jQuery(document).ready( function()
{
jQuery(".hidden, .error").hide();
//
This only gets activated when the radio button is changed but i want this to be checked on change as well as based on initial values... How do I do that ?
jQuery( jQuery("input[name='ssc_appear']") ).change
( function()
{
if ( jQuery("input[name='ssc_appear']:checked" ).val() == "yes" )
[Code]....

I am looking for a way to put all CSS values on my selected elements back to its default. I was wondering if anyone has maybe done this before and if not has any idea's to get me started.
The idea is that when I use for example:
The elements within .setDefault will return to its default font/color/height/width etc... so basically all posible values.

I have a DOM loaded from a remote site, i cannot alter that page. The DOM has a input:submit in the form that looks something like this:
<FORM NAME="frm1" METHOD="POST" ACTION="ServletController;jsessionid=72CDF83C126FFF9D87821CE9E9B9E860.fre01" onSubmit="return checkFormSubmit();">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="apply">
<input type="submit" name="Apply" value="Apply" onClick="return applyClicked();">
</FORM>
I need to replace the default ACTION with an ajax post with the current form data, but I also need to keep the:onClick="return applyClicked(); here is what works, however I cannot get the return applyClicked() to prevent the submit if it is false.

Before I submit the form with JS I update an input field with js like this:
Code:
The problem is that the updated value is not sent along with the post data. Instead the old value is sent along.
When i submit the form with a button afterwards though (not auto submit after the value is set), then the value is sent along fine.
But that's not how I want it to work...how I can send the value that I'm setting with JS along with the post data like this?

I'm trying to set up a form such that the Submit button will be disabled until a set of values has been set in the form.I have latitude and longitude text input elements (named coordPointLat and coordPointLon respectively) and they are not acting as I would expect.With coordPointLat set to 354104 and coordPointLon empty the following test always falls down to the line where the Submit button gets enabled.

I am using a script so that a url selected from a dropdown is given control using the window.location method. This depends on the onsbumit definition attached to the action statement. All that works well. However, I have other checkboxes etc. on the form, and their values are no longer submitted when I used this onsubmit function. Is there a way I can get them to work... Here is the script and the form:

I have a form which has a few submit buttons, all named SubmitButton so I can pass the clicked button's value through to the submission processor and then act according to which button is pressed. However on the jquery form submit even, I also want to check certain things before I fire the submission off. As the button isn't a "conventional" input I can't check the document object to see which one was clicked, so I need to check the form contents that are about to be submitted, can I do this from the submission event or will I have to bind to each button individually?

I have a page with multiple text fields, each of which has an example for an initial value. I've added the appropriate code so that onFocus() the example is cleared away, and a blank field is left behind. Trouble is, I only want that to happen once, so that the field isn't cleared if the user attempts to edit what they wrote earlier. Anybody know of a way to do that with only a few lines of code? Here's my existing code:
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function clearField(fieldName) {
fieldName.value = "";
}
// -->
</script>
<p>Person's Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30"
value="John Smith" tabindex="2" onFocus="clearField(this)"></p>

I have a page with 5 sets of form fields. Each field set has a checkbox that if checked will allow users to utilize it. I want to clear the given field set when the user un-checks the check box. As you can see in the code below this method will make for a very long and cluncky script, I would like to make it more generic.
<script>
function clear() {
window.document.roles.foo1.checked = ''
window.document.roles.foo2.checked = ''
}
</script>
<input class="checkBox" />
<input checked name="foo1" type="checkbox" class="checkBox" />
<input checked name="foo2" type="checkbox" class="checkBox" />

I installed a JS form dependency script. Basically if a checkbox is checked Field A will disappear and Field B will take its place.The script appears to work fine. The problem I am having is this. If someone submits the form using the Field B entry and then they need to submit a form using the Field A entry, the Field B entry is still being passed even though is it is not displayed and Field A has a value in it!So I guess my question is, how do I flush out the form field after the form is submitted? This is just happening with the fields where there is the JS Form Dependency script involved.

is there a way in javascript to provide default values for function variables.. for instance
In my case the problem is this, i have tables on about 10 pages that all use the same type of table that have checkboxes next to each row, indicating each row could be possibly edited or deleted. Now, i have a function to check/uncheck all by clicking the top box in the column. It works fine, but on one page, i actually have two of these tables. This screws it up though as it will check everything in the first table when i click the select all input box on the second table. I was hoping i could simply change the value for the id of the table and then pass that id instead of passing nothing.
in php it would look like this
function my_function($default_value = "hello") {
in javascript i dont know if this is possible though, it threw errors when i tried syntax similar to that.

I would like to call a function with parameters, i.e. multiply('2','3','box1').In this example, the first argument would be multiplied with the second and written into the div with the id="box1". How can I set a default value for the third argument? => so if I call multiply('2','3') then it should automatically set the output-variable to 'box1' if not other defined in the call.

I have the following code that I'm using to cycle through each element in a form field, and clear whatever text is in it. If the user clicks out of the field without typing anything then the script is supposed to return to whatever value it started with (e.g. "Enter your name..."). If the user does type something, then it stays in the field even when they click out of it:

In part of my form, I have 3 inputs (one textarea and two text inputs),I am validating their value format using AJAX (each input triggers error message on its label in case format is wrong). Also I have one button, "NOT submit button" (type = button).Now, when clicking on the button it must enter the value of those three inputs in my database in case they are true then all inputs values must be cleared. In case AJAX validation is wrong and in case the user clicked on that button, the value of fields must kept as it is.
Actually I can not use submit button because I have it for the whole form and what I am taking about is a part of the form and it's not possible to make nested forms as I know it violates html rules. It's easy to make it if I am taking about submitting button as I can view session values on fields after submission in case ajax returns error.I can clear inputs from Javascript, but it will be cleared on both cases if AJAX validation true or wrong. Each input field has AJAX Error message that will be triggered when the input format is wrong.
