I need to grab whatever the user types in an input box and append it to the URL the page is going to, how do I do that?
javascript:var cbobject= document.searchCatForm.inp_searchCat.value; alert(cbobject);
Code:
<form id="searchCatForm" name="searchCatForm" action="catalogue/search?input=" method="post">
<div class="searchField">
<input id="inp_searchCat" name="inp_searchCat" value="Search catalogue"

This should be fairly straightforward but I'm having some unexpected trouble.
I have a form with an input [code]...
...the value attribute 'search me' is what is displayed on default page load.
If I focus on the text field and type into it, "Hello World!"
How can I see that new value?
I've tried the obvious [code]...
How can I pick up the new value on the fly? It must be possible, no?
Is there a way to grab the URL for the page that sent the user? I have links coming in from several pages and would prefer not to create a separate back link for each one... is there a way to do this dynamically?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to pass user input from a form to one database field. I'm relatively new to JS but the idea I had was to have several form elements and use JS to collect the users input and send all the values through a hidden element. What's happening is the variable names are being sent rather than the values. The code below is only passing to the next page. Limitations: I am editing an intranet site built by a 3rd party so a lot of the files we've been given are encrypted. I cannot change the method to post.

I'm now working on kind of invoice form which in it the user can add as much input field as he wants.
The problem is that after adding a new input field - the content in the other fields is deleted.

I have a form with a select field. Depending on what is selected in this field, I want to display or not display another select field. For example first field asks the user if they drive, if the user selects "NO" the form doesn't change. If they select "YES", another field appears with different makes to chose from. If they change back to "NO" the second field dissapears again.

This is probably easy, but I flipped through the first 100 posts and couldn't find a similar question.
I would like to set up a form with multiple radio boxes in a table. The first row containing two selections, second containing 2..... Once the 1st row/column is selected, the 1st row/2nd column automatically displays the information from the first selection.
I am not necessarily looking for exact code on how to do this, just reference points to go to, and preferably suggestions on the best(meaning quickest) language to do this with.
how can i grab a value off of a URL and fill in a input field on the page with that value? Say I have this url: [URL] how can i grab the value of var_email and pulse_daily and place it in a input field ?

So I am trying to make a form that will eventually take the user to a specified link. It is a form that uses drop down menus. I based this off of someone elses code (with permission :)), but it shows everything <= user input. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it only show only one of the next options.here is the JS code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function ShowMenu(num, menu, max)

I have a small piece of code (taken largely from W3 Schools)that checks that there is a decimal point entered in a form field, but what I really need is to check that the number entered ends in 2 decimal places.
e.g.
10 is Invalid
10.00 is Valid
My current code is below. Can someone explain what I need to do to ensure that the user enters a number including two trailing decimal places please?

I have the following simple code:
<TABLE><TR>
<TD BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" ONCLICK="myform.color.value =
this.bgcolor">hello</TD>
</TR></TABLE>
<FORM ACTION="hello.cgi" NAME="myform" ID="myform">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="color" SIZE="10" MAXLENGTH="10">
</FORM>
When I click on the cell, the text input box shows 'undefined'. How
can I insert the cell's bgcolor hex code (#FFFFFF) into the form's
box.
I have a form that collects information about up to 5 items. I would
like the user to be able to select from a drop down menu how many items
for which they want to compare information, and then have the form
change the number of input fields accordingly.
In other words, if the user selects enter info for 3 items, then input
fields for only 3 items are shown, if they change it to 4 items, then a
fourth column shows up in the table with the appropriate input fields.
I'm just starting up in web design and I have an interesting challenge that I'm hoping can be solved w/java script. I have a site with an application form. When the form is to be submitted, the form data needs to be emailed to the correct person to handle that particular application. However, that can't be determined by anything specific in the form. It can only be determined by the link that they clicked on to get to the form. I really don't want to have 22 identical forms with just a different EmailTo addie, which is what the previous site developer did. Someone please tell me this can be done w/java script? If not w/java script
View 4 Replies View RelatedI found this forum while running out of ideas and being extremely desperate to fixing a probably small javascript error in a script. the script is supposed to open a small form window that allows the user to input an email address and update it to proceed. the form item is initially unchecked, but as the user clicks it and enter his email address, it updates the value of the email address and the box becomes "checkable". the problem is that with both IE and firefox, the box doesn't close again, doesn't get checkable and basically doesn't work. in the firefox debugging console, I found the following error:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am selecting an image as part of a html form. Once selected, jQuery assigns a user-defined attribute of the image to a hidden form variable and passes it to form handler. Problem is when I dynamically add images that can be selected. I am using live function to ensure that the dynamically added image is highlighted when clicked - but the user-defined attribute is not being grabbed by jQuery.
I think that when the page is first loaded, all the existing image attributes are loaded into the DOM, but when extra images are added with ajax, the DOM doesn't have the new attribute values, despite them appearing in the html on the page. I don't think I can use the live function in this instance, because an attribute is not an event. Out of ideas now. HTML/PHP, with jQuery:
