How To Store Default Field Values And Warn Users When They Are Changed?
Aug 28, 2006
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:
I'm struggling to get what I want to work..I have two textfields (using jquery to ensure digits only, limit 3) one is total_available one is currently_available
obviously you cannot have more things available than you have in total, so i need to compare them, and warn when the second one is larger than the first. I tried to modify the jquery validation equalTo with no luck.
i actualy dont care it its not, if i can get the values from the fields, convert them to INT, then compare, and change the innerHTML of a warning DIV that is next to the fields to say "check again" then it will be sorted.
I am looking for a way to put all CSS values on my selected elements back to its default. I was wondering if anyone has maybe done this before and if not has any idea's to get me started.
The idea is that when I use for example:
The elements within .setDefault will return to its default font/color/height/width etc... so basically all posible values.
it looks like a simple form that uses a 'GET' method to append to the default URL the users choice of the dropdown data. I'm assuming this is sent to the sites server where it performs some PERL or CGI magic and sends back to the users page a link. The weathersite already has all the links created in Flash format.
I have compiled a list of all flash-links for the cities I want users to be able to choose on my page. Since I have no clue to what type server side code I would need to write, could I not use Javascript to take the users choice from the dropdown box and then output the correct Flash code into the appropriate point in the HTML page?
this is the code snippet that i use in the buttons tag of jquery ui. reassign.php updates the records in my database as I want it and I can see the changes reflected in phpmyadmin. However, after the page refreshes (after location.reload()) , the changed values are not reflected in my webpage. even manually refreshing it doesnt work. when I manually changed the table values in PHPMyAdmin, the changes were reflected in the main page.
I have a textarea on my page and I wonder if its possible for a visitor to type in something in the textarea and then it will store in XML is it possible?
sample code, whereby if I change a field value in a web form (from a drop-down list for example), the value shown in another field is automatically updated to show the needed value for that selected option?
Requirement is to have JavaScript-based client-side pagination on a page with form items. We need to retain the form values the user selected while they paginate. Normally I would store everything in a cookie and move on, however, security requirements forbid the storing of passwords in a cookie; passwords being one of the form values.
Since I can't use cookies, what other options do I have? Requirements do not permit me yet to ping the server; everything must be client-based during pagination.
How do I change the background colour of an input box in a form as soon as the value is changed? Also the background should revert back to it's original colour if the user decides that they do not want to make any changes and hence retype back the orginial value.
I do not want the background to change after the user has moved to the next form field but as soon as the value has been changed.
I have a web page that has a select box and a textbox to add data into the select box. What I want to do is when I enter some data say a "valid date" in the textbox and click on Add button it should copy the same to the textbox such that ,when I navigate to a different link in the web interface and visit the same page again, the value that I had entered earlier should remain in the select box and be visible.
I have been able to copy the data from the textbox to the select box, but when I revisit the same page the value entered earlier does not remain in the page. Once the values are stored in the select box, those values in the select box should be copied to a structure written in C language in the backend.Can anyone tell me how can I store the values entered during runtime in the select box using javascript.
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.
A <select> box is dynamically created based on a table in the database. Using jQuery, the user can then select multiple email addresses (the value of the options in the select box), and remove them from the select box completely. This leaves only the email addresses the user wants to include in the email.
The problem I've encountered is that the once the user is done removing options they don't wish to include, they have to then select all the remaining options before hitting submit in order for the mail processor to see them as addresses to include.I was thinking maybe instead of the submit button, I just create another button tied to a jQuery function that selects all the remaining values, and then submits the form for the user?
Finally i got what i want but whar is missing is how how can i get those dynamically textboxes / Dropdowns strored or capture and stored into a database table.Un employee can go and select projects he is working on then the current 6 months time assignment to this project: each row or line is 1 project with respectibe assignment time.
I am trying to store multiple text values into an array when a check box is checked. for example when row1 checkbox is checked the values row1col1 and row1col2 are stored in an array. note however row1col1 and row1col2 are editable and not readonly. for example:
<table border="1"> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <tr> <td>row1 <input type="checkbox" name="row1" id="row1" /> (when checked the text fields are editable) </td>
is there a way in javascript to provide default values for function variables.. for instance
In my case the problem is this, i have tables on about 10 pages that all use the same type of table that have checkboxes next to each row, indicating each row could be possibly edited or deleted. Now, i have a function to check/uncheck all by clicking the top box in the column. It works fine, but on one page, i actually have two of these tables. This screws it up though as it will check everything in the first table when i click the select all input box on the second table. I was hoping i could simply change the value for the id of the table and then pass that id instead of passing nothing.
in php it would look like this function my_function($default_value = "hello") {
in javascript i dont know if this is possible though, it threw errors when i tried syntax similar to that.
I would like to call a function with parameters, i.e. multiply('2','3','box1').In this example, the first argument would be multiplied with the second and written into the div with the id="box1". How can I set a default value for the third argument? => so if I call multiply('2','3') then it should automatically set the output-variable to 'box1' if not other defined in the call.
I am trying to use it to direct users to a search page based on the values of two drop down boxes. The issue i am having is that the code below works fine on a test page, but not on my test domain (with wordpress theme) and so i was wondering whether there is anything I am doing wrong... Is onclick already defined maybe? I'm not sure how it works to be honest... :(
<script type="text/javascript"> function gosearch() { var breed = document.getElementById('breed').value; var area = document.getElementById('area').value; var site = "http://hairloss-help.net/?s="; var searchurl = site + breed + area; [Code]...
I'm trying to program a reset button so that when the user clicks on it , the default values will be restored but the only problem is that the cells are returning undefined but are showing in the correct cells . Here is my code for that . Here , the function ResetGrid() is the problem.
