Hidden Field To Store Data ?
Feb 4, 2010
I am using jquery to make a dialog box that take user info. I want to store that info and upload it to an sql database later. So far this is what i have.
<code>
When i run this i get:
Control 'ctl00' of type 'HiddenField' must be placed inside a form tag with runat=server.

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...

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.

I have a project that I need to read some data from an XML file.
Something like:
However, since JS is a client side script so it can't read from client side, is there any alternate way to do this? I am thinking to create a "Data" class, and many "Data" objects, is this an elegant way to do it?

I am trying to use jQuery AJAX. What my requirement is, i wish to load user names from DB in dataset, convert it to JSON format and store it in memory or using jQuery data for use while a user is browsing my site, i.e for a session. This way I can use autocomplete or my own code to display data to user.

My table is a data table, and I'm contemplating using it as the data store as well, rather than keep a js array of data separately. The cell values are retrieved by ajax, then inserted into the table. I'm thinking that the duplication of data (once in the js array, once in the table) is likely to lead to strange results somewhere along the line, where the two data sets get out of synch. It seems to me that jquery makes using a table in this way rather simple (I refer to the jquery selectors in particular). The table includes some editable-in-place columns.
If any such edits, and user presses a Save button above the table, the save function finds the edited fields and sends an appropriate ajax call, then refreshes the table with the outcome (eg it worked, so new values remain shown, it didn't work, revert, or something like that, it's not too important here). Hence the need to maintain some 'awareness' of the values in the cells. I'm content with using attributes as needed to support this (e.g., to be able to revert to original value, to mark cells that have been edited). Table may contain up to 500 rows, ten columns. How it compares with keeping the data in a js array?

I've gone back and forth on the best way to store data in HTML elements which is used to support JavaScript. For instance, I might have a bunch of rows each associated with a SQL ID, and upon clicking the delete element, want to grab the id, and send it to the server. I've successfully used the following three solutions, but would like to standardize on just the best.
Option 1 is technically valid, but seems excessive. Option 2 will work fine, but is considered by some as bad practice. Option 3 requires the extra step of splitting the ID from some identifier string, and care not to have the same record twice on the page.

Click the button (however many times) to get the sets of numerical data.Take those numbers into a cookie, and be able to add/subtract to each number as i use the form again; and update the cookie. I need a way to be able to do this multiple if not an infinite number of times!

I've been using localStorage to store a large amount of data (> 5mb). I know that most browsers limit localStorage to 5mb. However, on the specification site it states,
Quote:
User agents may prompt the user when quotas are reached, allowing the user to grant a site more space. This enables sites to store many user-created documents on the user's computer, for instance.
Is this available yet? If so, how would I use it?

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">

I have to add some technique which will solve the following problem. A form is presented to the user in our web application. Say it has
4 text fields,
2 radio buttons (Yes / No)
1 checkbox
1 select list.
Now 2 textfields are pre-populated, one radio button (Yes) is pre-selected, checkbox is not checked, one option from select list is preselected.
Problem:
In 90% of the cases, all that the user needs to do is enter values in the 2 empty textfields and click Submit.
However, the user might change the values in the preselected controls, like check the checkbox, change radio selection from Yes to No, select a different option from the select list, change the default values from the prepopulated text fields.
Now in such a case where 'default' values are changed, I need to show a alert or a popup layer to the user when the submit button is clicked.
Showing a popup layer or an alert:
The popup layer/alert will be a confirmation popup which will say something like -
"You have changed the default values for:[all the fields which were changed by user]. This requires you to do [some task] once you submit the form.
If you do not wish to change these defaults, click Cancel.
To proceed with the changes, click OK and then Submit."
Clicking OK:
If user clicks OK, then all is well. User will click Submit to submit the form and do some task which is required when defaults are changed.
Clicking Cancel:
If user clicks Cancel then the defaults should be restored. User is now free to click Submit. Code:

Lets say I wanted store a long string of text into a local storage member on a browser using javascript.
window.localStorage.setItem("key",longStringText);
Now lets assume that the text itself contains characters outside of the normal ISO-8859-1 character set (like asian or russian characters). Would the individual char values be stored as one byte or two bytes?
"hello" -> 5 * 1 bytes = 5 (normal 8859 character sets)
"hello" -> 5 * 2 bytes = 10 (unicode or an extended character set size).
Is ISO-8859-1 still stored like ASCII once was as 8 bits? Or is it 16? If I was to use a 2 byte character set then would that cut the size of my allocated local storage space by half?

i have a form with a 'name', 'date', 'type', 'style', 'color' and 'result' field.let's say the user inputs "jones" in the name field, "8/1/2011" in the date field, "new" in the type field, and 'modern' in the style field.i want the 'result' field to take a look at the 'name' field, and if the 'name' field has a particular text, let's say (in this case) "jones", the javascript code will then place the contents of 'date', 'type' and 'style' fields, along with hardwired text like "the information you are looking for is 'date', 'type' and 'style'" into the 'result' field.

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.
