Hidden Field Being Populated With Data From Another Site?

Jun 29, 2010

I have a webpage for insurance agents that the agent will login and then enter some insured information.

There is a field named "agentnumber" that is on the form, but is hidden by a display:none. The field is set from the username of the person who logs in whenever the form loads the first time. The form will save automatically when the user leaves the page.

I am experiencing a weird issue that every now and then, the agentnumber field is getting saved with incorrect data. After discussing it with the agent, it is being saved with the agentnumber of the agent from other companies, not from the my website. what may be happening as I thought browser security would prevent cross site javascript. The users are using IE 7 & IE 8.

Data From Hidden Field Is Not Sent To Server...

Jul 23, 2005

I have a form whereby I can add multiple contacts to a single address.
There is only one firstname/lastname/telephone box - when the user
clicks the add button, I read the values from the form fields and
record them into a hidden text input field. This part works because
during debugging, I have converted the <input type=hidden> into a <input
type=text> to visably confirm my data is being copied into the 'hidden'
field.

Once the user has entered in one or more names, they can click another
button and submit the form for processing. My idea is that I would then
parse this hidden field server side...

I have a WAMPHP based server and as a test, I dump out my entire $_POST
(basically, the name and value in every INPUT tag).

My PHP script picks up the name of every input tag, including the hidden
field (like it should) but for some reason, the value that was written
to the hidden field is not passed to the server. Thus, for the PHP folk
reading this post, my hidden input field is called mylist and
$_POST['mylist'] exists, but its empty. Even though before processing,
I could visably see the input in the box (for debugging remember, I made
the input tag box a normal, unhidden one).

Here is what I have done to try and resolve:
- I have used both Mozilla 1.7.5 and IE6 - both provide same results -
my hidden field name gets passed, but not its value.

- I have created another hidden field and given it a default value ie I
have <input type="hidden" name="extraone" value="xyz"> and I get
$_POST['extraone']="xyz" passed to my php server, like I would expect -
however, the value of mylist is sent empty, even though it has data.

- I have even put in a javascript alert box just before the form is sent
to the server and can see the result in my (unhidden) box, and the same
value displayed in the javascript alert - but again, the value of the
mylist does not get sent to the server.


The only difference is that my hidden field (even if its displayed like
an ordinary text input box) does not post data written to form fields as
the result of a javascript function. Interestingly though, the server
does know about the input tag box since it does receive
$_POST['mylist'], it justs receives it empty.

What gives? If the form reads my input from one field, and writes it to
another field, then it should be sent to the server, true?

Also... my tags are all inside my <form></form> tag (which is proven by
double checking, and the fact that I do get the input tag box name sent
to my server).

Since I can see the data values in the box, it tells me my javascript is
doing what it should be doing - so I don't see any point in including my
javascript (though I have no problems doing so if someone requests
it). On the php server, I am using a simple phpinfo(); to check the
data is being received...

Field Populated From Php Query

Sep 18, 2010

I want to have a page that is a list of auction items, and for each list item, show a field with the current bid price - easy to do statically, but I want the current bid price field to by dynamically updated by javascript every few seconds from a php database query.I have had no trouble building this page, but what happens is that the javascript will do the php query only once and fill the current bid price field continually with the same value, even if it has been changed in the database.I have the javascript function repeating every second, so that is not the issue.My php script works nicely, so that is not the issue.Just to re-iterate, there is no problem passing a value to javascript from a php sql query, it is in trying to get javascript to refresh the value it gets from the php sql query everytime that it runs.I have been working on this for over a year, and have done loads and loads of research, but to no avail.

Show Text Message If Form Field Populated?

Aug 22, 2010

I don't know how hard this is / isn't to do, but I wondered if it is possible to use Javascript / jQuery (I have the library included on the page I need to edit) to display a message below a text input field if the field is populated.

The reason I need it is that if the user fills the field in, I would like to add an instruction message underneath the field. If the field remains empty, I don't want the text to display.

Linking Text Field To Hidden Field?

Apr 2, 2009

I have created a html purchase request form that people will fill out and submit to make purchase requests within my company. In this html form, I have a text field that is automatically populated when the page is pulled up. The text field is populated with the name of the person who is logged in and it is read only so they cannot be deceitful or anything.To get to this HTML Request form, you must log in through a webclient thus the server knows to populate your name because you are the one logged in. The text field populates because of its <input NAME = "OBProperty_CurrentUserRealName", which is a keyword the program identifies and knows to populate with the logged in users name into that particular text field.

That works all fine and dandy, so here is where the problem lies. When submitting the overall form request, the populated name isnt being saved/ carried over to the admin page so we do not know who it was submitted by.To make the persons name carry over and save, another field name keyword must be used.

Which is OBKey__163_1. Which it was suggested to me to make that the input name of a hidden field. I need "text field A" to continue to populate the form with the persons name using OBKey_CurrentUserRealName, then pass the persons name off to a hidden field containing the input name=OBKey__164_1, which will thus save/pass the persons name on with the rest of the filled out request form when its submitted.

Here is what I have:

<input name="OBProperty_CurrentUserRealName" type="text" id="buyer" style="width:100%" readonly="readonly">
<input name="OBKey__163_1" type="hidden" id="OBKey__163_1">

Posting Data From A Form On My Site To A Form On Someone Else's Site:

Feb 25, 2006

Basically, I registered for a free board at one of the various sites because my server doesn't support .cgi scripts. I want to know if there is a way to have the data from a form on my site post to the board site -A user would fill in my form, click submit, and a new post would appear on the board site -as if they had entered it there.
If you can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful. Here is my thinking.

A) I can't locate the script that they use to perform a "submit"; so I thought I might enter their <head> data (as far as xmlns, href, etc) in my <head>; that my website might call up their script files, css sheets, etc.

B)I could code my own Javascript function to send my form data to their site. If I knew how to simulate a mouseclick on someone else's site, I could have the script "click" there, paste the data, and hit the submit button. But I don't.

C) I could size their site down to the form itself and put it in a frame on my page

Option C is clearly easier, but I would prefer option A or B. I have time and will happily do the research myself; provided that I know if approach A or B is even feasible.

Write Some XML Out So That It Is The Value Of A Hidden Field ?

Apr 9, 2009

I have a little bit of Javascript that runs fine, but I am trying to write some XML out so that it is the value of a hidden field. When I put it in the hidden field, it just shows the javascript instead of the value.

So, instead of showing the value of i++ it is showing <script>i++</script>

What I want it to show:

It works in the regular page, just not when I make it the value of the hidden form field. Sorry, kinda new to javascript.

Add Text To Div If A Hidden Field Value Changes?

Jan 20, 2010

I am currently working on a small Ajax image upload script using some clever iframes, php and a lytebox to create a seamless application. a small link on a page starts my lytebox that essentially opens a new page inside this. this page takes a file upload and using an iframe posts to a php script that will validate the file and upload to the server, the location of this file is then posted back to the iframe for viewing. Once this completes I have a cropping tool available for users to make final adjustments to their image before saving this and sending the new cropped image location to a value of a hidden text box. Once the user is happy with this they can click close to return to the parent page, upon doing this the value of the hidden filed is passed back to parent page and saved into another hidden filed to use. ( To clarify, i use hidden values as the parent page is the actual upload script.

My lytebox version was created to allow usability for users to re-size and crop their image before upload, all this happens in the lytebox to appear like its just a cropping tool.) Its at this point I am having some difficulty. I want to alert the user that the upload has been successful and all that is required is the user to hit save. This was ultimately save the finished image with all the users date in the database. I thought I could use an onchange event to trigger a function that would insert text into a div but this wont work. My code for the parent page and the hidden field is:-

Can't Reset A Hidden Field In Form

Aug 12, 2007

i have a form in which a hidden field (initial value as &#390;', and my javascript set it to &#391;' when an event is trigged). In the same form, i have a reset field. But I realized that the hidden field is not reset to &#390;' when i push the
reset button. If I simply change the node from

"<input type="hidden" id='IsChanged' value=&#390;'>"
to

"<input type="text" id='IsChanged' value=&#390;'>"

Everything is working as expected (the value is reset to &#390;' when I
push the reset button) Why does this happen?

Checkbox To Give Hidden Field Value?

Aug 1, 2009

i have a page with lots of checkboxes and hidden fields. When i tick a checkbox i want it to give the hidden filed a value. But give it no value if it is not ticked. For every checkbox i have a hidden field is with it. Both the checkbox and the hidden field send information. I have used some js scripts but they don't seem to work with more than one checkbox.Example:

<input type="checkbox" name="box1" id="box1" value="4th July 2009,">
<input type="hidden" name="price1" id="price1" value="0">

So when box1 is ticked it then gives price1 a value. But if not ticked then the value remains at 0. I want it to give a value of 699.There will be about 100 checkboxes and hidden fields on the page. Also onclick behaviours do not work because it may still send the information if the checkbox is not checked.So for the next checkbox and hidden field i use box2 and price2.
