using jQuery, how to validate a required input text before submitting or placing the cursor in another field? I've tried this below but it doesn't work.
Am using Struts framework. I want the cursor to be on the first field (text box/select box) when i run the JSP. I've tried with the following command <body onLoad="document.login.userid.focus"> login is my form name and userid is text box name where I want the cursor to be but it didnt work.
I'm working on an ajax driven chat room (you can see the "proof of concept" at URL..., and I'm currently working on a function to add color symbols to the chat textbox;As written, function works just great. however, I wish to add the further feature of placing the cursor between the symbols, if the "middle" variable is empty.
Is there any way that I can get the first text input field to be active and READY for input.I am trying to save the user the trouble of clicking on the text input field before the user can type any information there. It is one extra step especially when using a touch screen that I would like to avoid.
I have a php page that has a button on it when clicked shows a div (previously hidden) in the middle of the page this div contains a table with rows.Each row has an image acting as a button and a series of fields that are populated from a database.One of the fields is a quantity box I want to be able to change the value in this box and click on the submit img and have it submit this info (including the altered quantity) back to the php page or to the submit function so that I can then access the values.
I'm writing a form and I'm using javascript to validate fields (i.e. numeric, not blank). When my scripts detects an error I want it to put the cursor in the corresponding field. I've tried the focus option, but that doesn't seem to work. This is the code I'm using:
if (TestOk=="N") { alert('Veld mag niet leeg zijn'); veld.select(); veld.focus(); }
The veld.select() does select the error string, the focus, however doesm't seem to work. Anybody got a suggestion?
I've got an image for the Name & Email field in a form I've made. On click, I've got the images fade out, and replaced with the text field. The problem I have, is having the cursor go in the text field. I know it works if the text field was there when I click on it, but because clicking causes an event to put it in, it does't act like I clicked on the text field. So what I'm looking to do is at the end of the replaceWith(#name_field), I want it to simulate a click so that the cursor would automatically be in there.
Here is my js... $("#name_img").click -> $(this).fadeOut("slow").replaceWith $("#name_form") $("#name_form").fadeIn "slow"
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
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 want to get the cursor start and end position of a selected range in a text-field or text-area. i tried lot of functions in various forums. but when the last character of the selection is a new line character JavaScript ignore it in IE6. any one having idea ?
How to validate an input field for a set group of zip codes. Basically I have a list of about 200 zip codes that are valid for this project I'm working on. I tried using the range method and wasn't able to get it to do what I needed it to do. I don't want anyone else to see what the list of correct zip codes are, this is to verify that they are local.
just started using jQuery Validate, and am not very familiar with jQuery at all (it's on my todo list). Either way, I picked up the validate form and like it, aside from the fact that I HATE that it imposes a label onto you.In my case, where it says "Enter your name", for example, I'd like that to get replaced with "Required field" when someone doesn't input it. I've dug through the code but between a language I don't know (using lots of methods I don't know of), and other people's code, I just can't wrap my brain around where to edit so that the error message is appended (well, deletes that div then appends the message) to a specific div instead of creating a brandy-new label.
I would like to find out the followings: 1) how to set the cursor to a particular textbox depending on the value entered (after the alert message or without alert message)
2) how to make the prg to execute the js function in 2nd textbox (in textbox2row1) if the values changes in textbox1(textbox1row1) but the value in the current textbox(textbox2row1) no change.

Using jQuery Validate to do it's job of validating a form. Problem is I need to get at least one phone number recorded in the form - either a Telephone or Mobile (Cell).Is there any inbuilt way of setting up the rules to do this?I have seen the Milk demo for the validate plugin where there's something similar, but the 'name' attribute is the same, something that's not going to be the same for two different text inputs.
I'm trying to set up a form that has a text field that is required to be blank - I'm dealing with form spam, and the bots are stuffing every text field with random crap. So, I have a text box that is required to be blank. But I can't get jquery.validate to understand both required and blank.the text input is has a name and id of live_check.I have added this method:
$.validator.addMethod("equalToParam", function(value, element, param) {return value == param;});
I'm trying to validate the text of an input as it is typed.I have this keyup:[code]The idea is that only let the user type a decimal number; and it does.The only problem is that it let type a dot [decimal separator I need] at the beginning; and I don't want that.I've been a while and searched Google for the Reg Exp, but had no luck.
I have searched the internet and couldn't find a problem regarding this issue. The thing I want to do is simply validate a text input so when you enter a number in it, it won't validate and give you an error message. This is the code:
I have a asp.net web form that I need to validate before submitting. I've tried the AJAX Control Toolkit but I was having problem with multiple ValidationSummary control conflict. So, my next option I can think of is to use jQuery. First of, how do I test to see if a textbox is blank or not? If blank, output a message to a asp.net Label control on the page and stop the web form submission. Second, if the validation succeeds, proceeds to submitting the web form.
