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.
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 site, im expecting a few hundred colleagues to sign up, they have the chioce to pick a user name and email adress of their choice, but to speed things up a bit I would like set preset usernames and emails in the fields so the user just has to press the enter button.
So for example, my 2 fields will be filled with something like Username: [mysitename]User[randomnumber] Email: [randomnumber]@mysite.com
where my site name is the actual name of the site, and the random number will be different on every visit.
I have been looking around for a while on google and have come accross a few things but still am unable to find the exact codes. I am trying to have a page setup so that when the user clicks a button it will add preset text to a form box and keep the chronological order of buttons that are clicked. This is going to be used for my ambulance service to assist dispatch so basically i am looking for preset buttons that the dispatcher can click disp. and have the dispatch and time added to a list in the form box that can later be copied and emailed to our cell phones.

I was wondering if it is possible to restrict the values of a text input box to only accept set values such as "XBC1". I am trying to make a form for a scanner so you can scan bar codes and it will auto fill the form out and have default values set so incorrect values cant be submitted into the database and mess everything up.

I am delving into the coding world and while I understand the basic principle of cookies, conditional statements, arrays, etc...I have looked around the web and this forum with little success. If the situation below is too complicated, I would really appreciate even a shove in the right direction regarding the logic.How could I show a preset counter which counts up from a preset, beginning number toward a preset, end number? I imagine the increment and speed is set be the difference between the two numbers and a timeframe.
:confused: Assumptions:I would rather not set the increment but edit the end number to show a steady increase. As I update that number, the increment adapts dynamically. I would want the number/script to be useful, so it should not refresh to the beginning number on each page load (i.e. num=0). When a visitor comes to the page, it must seem like the counter has been steadily been increasing in their absence.Coke or Pesi did something similar one time regarding cans sold to date (doubt it was plugged into a DB somewhere but rather based on a steady sales figure) and it was pretty cool.
I have a problem created by my complete [rookie] status – only second time venturing into jQuery. I created a simple shopping cart using php and the PayPal buttons (1: buy now, 2: add to cart). The php back end does it great, it generates the table and the buttons and everything works just like it’s supposed to; Except, I forgot to add sizes. So I found out what I need to add, and I realize that the way the buttons work, I will have two different text boxes for size. Not very visually appealing, and since I’m not submitting this to the server before it goes to PayPal to pay, I cannot modify it with php the way I normally would. jQuery / javascript are my only hope of making this work. What I want to do:Have a single textbox where [size] is entered by the user.
Copy the value from the [correct] text box to the Value=”” section of the now hidden field in the PayPal form That way, no matter whether they [BUY NOW] or [ADD to CART] the right size is submitted to the PayPal shopping cart. This is the actual PayPal code that I’m trying to change
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Size" maxlength="200">Size</td>
[code].....
I got this far, and then decided to find how to insert the "enteredVALUE" into the right place in the input text field (what I called output) and I've not been able to figure out how to stuff it in there.
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 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].....
When in IE7 or IE6, I can't get a input value with same id. My sample code looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
[Code].....
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 have two forms(form1 and form2) on my html page.
question1 : can i access form 1 variables in form 2?. if so how?
question 2: when form2 action is saveci.jsp . can i access form1
variables in saveci.jsp. if so how?.
basically when form2 is submitted, form1 variables should be accessed
in the jsp which processes form2.
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?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am currently designing an HTML page with a form with a post method.
The page is calling itself so with the details that are passed will
vary how the page will look i.e. number of results from the sql query
that is being run. I'm trying to catch these using a javascript
function which is:
var qsParm = new Array();
function qs() {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
document.writeln(query);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {
var pos = parms[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos > 0) {
var key = parms[i].substring(0,pos);
var val = parms[i].substring(pos+1);
qsParm[key] = val;
}
}
}
and then just calling the array to get the value, in this case
qsParm['num_res']. The above function doesnt work for post but does for
get. I'm fairly new to javascript and am assuming this line is at
fault:
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
but I'm not sure what it should be.
I am trying to create an HTML form in which user will enter different items (he wants to purchase) in text fields. One text field is used for one item. Now it is not known in advance how much items the user will purchase so we cannot decide the total text fields required in advance. Is is possible to increase the number of text fields (using JavaScript) one by one if the user requires more fields
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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:

I have taken a class on PHP and started making some math homework and drills for the tutoring I do. I have asked my kids for feedback and they are telling me that it is inconvenient to hit tab to go to the next text box (They have small arms/fingers..)I then thought of a brilliant ideaLet�s say it was 12 divided by 3. If they wrote a 4 in the input area, the JavaScript would recognize the correct answer and automatically move to the next box. However, if they wrote a 3 in the box, the JavaScript wouldn't move over.This kills two birds with one stone. The inconvenience of hitting tab or clicking on the next box disappears, and they are forced to put in the correct answer.Ironically, I have learned PHP and skipped over JavaScript. Which code would I use to do this?

I'm looking for a script that with look at a list of zip codes and if the zip code the user enters is in the list it directs them to one page, but if their zip code is not in the list it directs them to another page. I don't know much about java, but I can modify scripts to meet my purposes. I just need a reference to scripts that do this sort of thing.

Is there a specific tag in html so as to make a field behave as a date picker in a form?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis question may appear opposite of most, but I'm learning JS using a book and I can't understand why/how this particular code works. I'm working on simply retrieving and passing information to and from html forms. This is a very simple script that will change what is selected in the drop down box depending on a button push.
Here is the script:
Code:
function flip(pizzatype) {
if (pizzatype.value == "Veggie Special") {
document.forms["pizzaform"].topping.value = "veggies";
} else if (pizzatype.value == "Meat Special") {
document.forms["pizzaform"].topping.value = "meat";
} else if (pizzatype.value == "Hawaiian") {
document.forms["pizzaform"].topping.value = "hampineapple";
}}
And here is the form's html:
Code:
<form id="pizzaform" action="#" onsubmit="return false;">
<p>
<input type="button" name="veggiespecial" onclick="flip(veggiespecial)"
value="Veggie Special"/>
<input type="button" onclick="flip(meatspecial)" name="meatspecial"
value="Meat Special" />
<input type="button" onclick="flip(hawaiian)" name="hawaiian"
value="Hawaiian" />
</p>
<p>Main Topping: <select name="topping">
<option value="cheese" selected="selected">Cheese</option>
<option value="veggies">Veggies</option>
<option value="meat">Meat</option>
<option value="hampineapple">Ham & Pineapples</option>
</select></p>
</form>
The way I see it is the button onclick will call the flip function and pass it a var, for example "veggiespecial". I understand the code that will perform the actual change on the drop down menu. What I don't understand is the if statement.
if(pizzatype.value == "veggiespecial")...
Shouldn't it be just (pizzatype == "veggiespecial")?
Why does it have to be pizzatype.value? Where the heck does the .value come from???
