JQuery :: Changing Value Of Hidden Field Inconsistent?
May 29, 2010
I am working on bringing my existing website to the iphone/ipod using jqtouch and jquery.
I am stuck using the following code to change the value of a form's hidden field with the value of a clicked link. It works for the first two clicks then no matter what other link is clicked the form's hidden field value is changed to the value of the first or second clicked link?
Is there a more robust, reliable way of achieving my aim?
...$(document).ready(function(){ $('a[name]').click(function() { var str_id = $(this).attr("value"); $("#bookingperiod").val(str_id); }); });...<div class="info">Thu Jun 3rd 2010</div>
how to Change a Hidden Fields Name based on selected option. The hidden fields name is sent off and I need to change the name depending on what option they select. For if they select MyList the hidden field name needs to be SelectLists[40] or if they select testlist the hidden field name needs to be SelectLists[41]. This is probably way, way off but I've done this and it doesn't work.
I am trying to dynamically clear the value of a form input field and then submit the form.When I used $('#my_field').val('') to clear the field, it was cleared on the screen but when the form was submitted the original value of the input field was posted.My browser is FireFox and I can see using FireBug that when the field is cleared, firebug is still showing the html code with the old value. E.G. <input type="text" value="old_value" />The same situation occurred if I used $('#my_field').attr('value', '') to clear the field.The same situation occurred if I actually changed the value of the field rather than just clearing it.To work around this problem I ended up using the $('#my_field').removeAttr('value') to clear the field before it was submitted.
I am am trying to change the "display" property of a div from "none/block" to normal in order to display it on mouseover event. But I do not know why it is not working!
Here is the html code <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> [Code].....
I'm using Jrn's autocomplete jQuery plugin and I'm having trouble changing the value of my hidden input.
The first part works fine - it searches the array and I can select any of the results. However, I'm trying to grab the "id" key value from the array and use it as the value of my hidden input.
Here's my test page.
(I'm using a "GET" form, so submit the form and you'll see that the "account" value submits as empty)
Here's my array:
Code:
And the part that (I believe) should be putting the value of #account into my hidden input:
Code:
Basically, select "Account Five" from the auto-complete, and it should change the value of my hidden input to "0005".
Seems like it should be a relatively simple solution, but I'm still fairly new to JS and jQuery.
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.
What I'm doing is creating a div element dynamically when the user clicks on a point in the page. Once created I create a record in my database table the corresponds to this div element and save information such as the width,height, x coordinate, and y coordinate of the element. This is done via AJAX accessing my web service. The weird thing is, I get really fast responses 80% of the time but 20% of the time, its taking a lot longer. For example, I would get a response after 50-100ms and at times I would get it in 2 seconds What do you think is the source of this problem?
I have to implement Tablesorter Pager plugin on Dynamic Table which will be cleared(emptied) out everytime. I triedby adding pager to [URL].. The sorting is working fine for first time but when i click on append url, the sorting is not working and the pager is skipping pages for large dataon subsequent clicks. I tried all the solutions ( appendCache, update,bind) but nothing seems to be solving the problem.
I have been spending my whole life on converting a flash version of a header/menu system to jQuery HTML. It is very nearly done in that it works nearly 100% perfectly in Firefox and IE8. [URL]. Unfortunately, in Chrome and Safari, my menu events of the top menu seem to fire inconsistently, and in the wrong order. It is easy to trigger a problem by simply circling your mouse over the top links. One of the menus will retract when it's already retracted, or the mouseover event for one or more of the links will seemingly detach, making the menu unusable.
The way it is supposed to work is as follows: Person hovers over link, causing menu to slide out and the mouseover event to be detached. This also triggers a 1 second timer that retracts the menuHovering over menu cancels 1 second timer.When the mouse leaves the menu, the menu is retracted and the original mouseover event is attached to the link. It's a bit hackish but it works and I've spent way too much time on this project as is. I have a lot of iphone detection checking to disable/enable some portions of the code if the browser is mobile safari. The site works fine in mobile safari as is.
I have an hidden field in a form defined as follow: <input type="hidden" name="previewText" value="" /> To assign its value I used: var contentText = "<h2>Order Preview</h2>"; $("input[name='previewText']").val(contentText); It works fine but the html code is lost. Is there a way to retain the
When I echo that second span, I get the selected value from the first span. But I need to get that value into a hidden html form field, so I can pass it along with the $_POST array. How do I do this?
Well, my problem is with the use of basic plugin for Jquery Autocoplete, I have not used any of the many that circulate on the Internet. I managed to do well the search and query the database, it returns me the names of the students, the problem comes when I assign the id of the selected name to a hidden field of the form to send via the id _get to another page editor.
To achieve this autocomplete (or autosuggest), I created 3 files. 2 to make the query and process, and the next file that contains the form and the Javascript code that should work.
busq-alumnos.inc.php:
Anyway, the point is that everything works fine except the assignment of the hidden field id on the form.
I recently upgraded to jQuery 1.4 from 1.2.x and have found that the following code, which previously worked across all browsers, no longer works seamlessly in Internet Explorer:
In Firefox, this code continues to work like it did prior to 1.4, namely, as soon as the user picks a file, the change event fires. But in IE 7 (the only IE I've tested it in) the change event no longer fires, unless/until I click inside the browser window after choosing my file. I'm guessing it has something to do with the event not firing until something (not sure what... maybe the page itself?) gets focus.
Is this known/expected behavior with 1.4? If so, does anyone know how I can work around it to make 1.4 behave like 1.2.x did, where IE's change event will fire immediately after the file is picked without an extra click in the window?
I have a table set up with a .click() function on each row sothat if it is clicked on, a class is added to the row thus changingthe background, etc. I was wondering if there was is a way to takethe id of the row that was clicked and populate a hidden field withit. What would I need to include in my .click() function for this towork?Here is my current one:
I am using multiple links at the same page with same class(cannot access using id because of multiple links) like
<a class="coupon_link" href="#?stockAlert=45">Click here to get coupon</a> <a class="coupon_link" href="#?stockAlert=46">Click here to get coupon</a> <a class="coupon_link" href="#?stockAlert=47">Click here to get coupon</a>
I am very new to jquery and I am trying to set the value of a textarea which is not in a form, into a hidden field which is in a form. In the text area, I have given it an id called refnote and ive used the text() to get the text in it. However, the problem is setting the retrieved text in a hidden form field. $('form').submit(function(){ alert ($('#refnotes').text()); return false; });
I have the official qQuery autocomplete plugin ( from bassistance) working properly. Start typing a product name and it queries my php script and mysql to return a list of products.
However, when the user submits the form, I want a hidden form field that contains the row ID for that product in the database table. I would have thought that this is a very common need, but I did not see any of the examples in the doc or website.
I'm using jquery autocomplete to fill a textbox with some text but I need to get the ID of the item too. For this purpose I thought to use the on select event to fill an hidden field the problem is that the on select event is never fired.
I want to show pictures of my students on a page so I can take the presence easily. I made that using a MySQL DB with php. That's the easy part.
Next, i managed to make a jquery script so when I click each image the border of that image cycle through green, red and yellow (in - out - late css class).
Here is the html code (id from hidden field is the student number)
Now, I want to set each hidden field value according to the state of the image (in ou or late) with jquery and submit all hidden field to put it in my DB.
I would like to change the value of a single hidden input onclick. The possible values are text, email and URL.I've tried all kinds of "ways" (inline and in function in a variety of ways,) but nothing. I stripped it down one last time to give it another go, but realize I'm out of ideas, so the code below is simply where I've thrown in the towel.Can someone make this work with a JS function, so that each link may be clicked and change the hidden input's value to the respective value?
I've got a set of input fields of type text, that I want to change to hidden. The fields are identified by the class name .navtitle. Here is the code I've written to try and change the fields:
I'm writing a dynamic form that allows users to add fields. Thesefields are contained in a table.I have this function to clone the rows (my table has an ID of
so I have a form page for a cart to checkout, on the first page, I am using the form action get and the page to pass the variables in the url to...
on the next page, I have grabbing some of them using the document.indexOf function...works great just using document.write(what is returned from the indexOf function); obviously, this just outputs the value in text, however, I need to set the value of a specific hidden field on the same page/form to that of what is returned by what I described above:
