Getting Input Values From Forms?
Mar 9, 2011
I'm trying to write some javascript code that will give a user one of two messages (Correct or incorrect) base on whether they answer a question correctly. I have 2 issues that I was hoping someone could help me with:
1) My "incorrect" and "correct" messages all appear on the page load. Is there anyway to start without them being there?
2) More troubling: No matter what I put into the input boxes, the "incorrect" message pops up. Basically I need to better understand how to grab the actual input value (it's commented down below so I think that this should be a quick fix!)
Code:
function showAnswer(blurred,response)
{
var form = blurred.form;
var rbs = form[blurred.name];
[Code].....

I have two forms with identically named arrays on each. I need to copy the values to the second form's array. Here's a simplified version of the HTML:
<form name="mainform">
<input type="text" size="10" name=firstnames[] value="Joe"/>
<input type="text" size="10" name=firstnames[] value="Bob"/>
<input type="text" size="10" name=firstnames[] value="Pat"/>
[Code]....
I'd like to be able to submit hiddenform with the firstnames array equal to ['Joe', 'Bob', 'Pat']. But I seem to be getting an awful lot of ['', '', ''] no matter how I go about it.

how to add forms in javascript, but it's limited to text input forms.
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function updatesum() {
document.form.sum.value = (document.form.sum1.value -0) + (document.form.sum2.value -0);
}
//--></script>
Where the inputs sum1 and sum2 are text fields you put whatever numbers you want in. That works fine. Great. Now what I'm having trouble with is modifying the code so that it will add one form with an input number with a form that spits out a randomly generated number.
<input type="button" value="D20" onclick="this.form.display.value = Math.round (20 * Math.random())" class="buttonHi" /> <input name="display" type="text" size="6" value="" />
This is what I'm using for my random number generator. So basically I want to be able to put, say, 5, into the input text field above this. And then click on the d20 button to get a random number, say, 15, and then have the first code add the inputted 5 with the randomly generated 15.

I have a list of products where they have minimum quantities in a hidden input. Some products have multiple colours, though the same minimum quantity and I'm trying to implement a jQuery check that entries made are at least equal to the minimum.
Blank or '0' entries are fine but if it's below the minimum quantity it should set to the minimum.
HTML:
Is there something obviously wrong with this? It isn't performing the minimum check and I'm really not sure why.

I'm currently working on a website called 'eXtreme Gaming' I've almost completed it, apart from two things.
- Adding two values on my checkout page for the Grandtotal (I've tried everything, but I'm too much of a noob and have probably missed something small).
- Validation of forms (I don't know where to start here, I've looked on w3schools for tuts etc but I'm having difficulty incorporating it on my site)

I have a form, and i am trying to add the values of 5 fields into one javascript variable. Then i need an ajax function to search a directory for a php file made from these variables and return a "file exists" or "file doesnt exist" message to the form.
For example, assume the following values have been inputted into the fields;
Field1 (Manufacturer) - Kawasaki
Field2 (Model_Name) - GPZ500
Field3 (Nickname) - None
Field4 (Market) - UK
Field5 (Year) - 2000
Then javascript needs to add the values of Field1 - Field5 (and add a few bits)to create (for example):
Kawasaki_GPZ500_None_UK_2000.php
Then i need ajax to search a web directory for the file above, and if it exists return a link, or if it doesnt exist tell the user it doesnt exist.
im hoping that i can use ajax to do this search without clicking any buttons etc. unfortunately i have very little knowlegde of javascript and ajax and dont have a clue how i can go about implementing this.
i know how to do it by posting the variables to the next page and doing the check using php - but i would like instant validation as soon as the form fields have been entered.

I am looking for a little help validating a forms input. On the form are key
items which I do not wish to be zero length.
I have wrote the following function:
<script language=javascript>
function ValidateLength(oid, min, max)
{
var txt = document.getElementById(oid);
var length = txt.value.length;
if(length == 0)
{
alert("You must enter your reference, Company Name and Contact Name");
}
}
</script>
However their are still a few issues I would like to work out.
I all it with my forms sumbit event with the following:
<input type="submit" name="Submit" onclick="ValidateLength('txtRef',0,100)"
value="Submit Details">
However that will only check the length of the item txtRef, how can I check
more textbox values? Also how can I stop the form posting if the alert is raised?

I'm trying to fill out a form on this site using JavaScript: [URL]
However, the fields do not have input IDs; they only have span IDs. I've tried using the span IDs, but it doesnsn't work. Here is the code I'm trying to use:
document.getElementById('fn'). value='" FName "';
Where FName is the value I want filled into the field. Could someone please tell me how to use JavaScript to fill in the fields of this form (and check those pesky check boxes)?

I'm trying to develop fast, simple, html-based front ends
for some Windows application programs. My idea:
1. Use html forms to let users supply run parameters (title,
run options, etc.)
2. When the user presses a submit button:
a. The selected options for all the form fields are
written to an external file (e.g., c:projectinput.txt)
b. The application program, say, prog.exe, is executed.
This program then reads the run parameters from the file
input.txt and proceeds. Code:

How can I use jQuery to submit multiple forms with different types, values, and actions? For example:
Code:
<form name="form1" method="get" action="submit1.php">
<input name="value1" type="text" value="">
</form>[code]....
Can I start the jQuery process from within a function when clicking on the submit button?

I'm using the autofill forms plugin for firefox which can be found here: [URL]. I use it to automatically fill various web forms. But I would like certain values to be chosen randomly from a list I create. I contacted the developer and he said the add on probably does not need a new feature because there is a 'dynamic tags' function to fill certain forms with dynamic values (e.g. the current time or date). He has given over the project to another developer and told me I probably would find a solution in a good javascript programming forum.
Basically, I just need a javascript code which chooses on item from an array randomly, I guess? Here are sample dynamic tags from the plugin:
<datetime> new Date().toLocaleString()
<useragent> navigator.userAgent
<langcode> navigator.language
<resolution> screen.width+'x'+screen.height
<clipboard> this.getClipboardText()

I'm trying to add an input element to all forms using appendChild.
The script first searches for input elements with the name of "myinput".
If it finds an input element with that name, it assigns the value "myvalue".
If it can't find an input element with that name, it tries to create a new one for all forms.
What's wrong with my code?

I am having a very hard time figuring out how to dynamically disable certain fields in a form based upon the user's answer to a <select> element.
So, first I have a <select> element to my form asking the user to choose one of three choices, like so:
<SELECT Name="mortgagetype">
<option value='First'>First</option>
<option value='Second'>Second</option>
<option value='Third'>Third</option>
</SELECT>
The next 6 fields are all input fields:
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question1">
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question2">
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question3">
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question4">
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question5">
<INPUT Type="text" size="30" Name="Question6">
The tricky part is that I want the availability of certain fields to depend on the user's answer to the <select> element that comes first. If they answer "First" then questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 should be disabled. If they answer "Second" then questions 3 and 4 should be disabled and if they answer "Third" none of the questions should be disabled.

I'm wanting to make a search function in a limited way.
The following code sends the input text to a page where the script processes it, no problem
Code:
I would like to have text automatically added to the input.
Example: I have a site I want to be only about things that are red.
Someone inputs "table" and the text "red+table" is sent to the search page.

I should imagine others here have experienced it. The user completes your form, and they unintentionally input their email address incorrectly. Then when you reply to their form, you then get the mailer daemon returning your email! Now, there's a couple of ways that some websites try to solve this problem - some ask the user to input their email address twice, some show the forms results on the next page, so that the user has a last chance to check, before completing the submission. Are there any other ways of trying to ensure that, as much as possible, that the user inputs the correct email address?

I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:

I'm trying to have a variable store the HTML in a div tag, but simply using var a = $('div').html() doesn't store the values of the input tags that lie within the div. how should I go about saving the HTML and the selected options and values of input tags to a variable using jQuery? Here is some example code:
HTML:
<div>
<p>Some Text</p>
<select name="word">
<option value="1">Placeholder 1</option>

I have a bunch of input fields, each which will have a numerical value. There can be any number of input fields in the form, and that number will vary depending on what the user has selected prior in the application.
So basically I created a loop that goes though all of the INPUT fields within the form. How can I have it find the value of each field and add them all together, then return to me the total? It'll need to be made into a variable, but a simple alert with the total value will give me enough to work with.

How would I go about creating a new arrary which consists of the values for every text input within a form? The array would need to be created dynamically when the function is called (by clicking a button or whatever). Is this possible?
So if the input fields looked like this:
<input type=text value=banana>
<input type=text value=pear>
<input type=text value=grapes>
An array like this would be created once i ran the function:
var values=new Array("banana",pear","grapes")

I'm a beginner with this stuff, so I'm not sure what sort of code I should use.
Basically I want users to put in words and every time "x" letter goes in, I want it to turn into "y" when they hit a button.
I think arrays would be a good way to go, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to make it translate S:
