Netscape Hidden Fields - Array - Multiple Fields With Same Name
Jul 20, 2005
I have multiple fields in a form with the same name. Lets call the fields with the same name "junk_array". My first field of junk_array is a input type=hidden. All the others fields in junk_array that follow are type=text. I can reference this first hidden field in IE with document.form.field[0].value. In, fact my form works absolutely wonderful in IE 6. However, netscape 4.7 does not recognize my first field in the array as the hidden field. Netscape sees the first visible text field as the first field in the array, subscript 0. What totally and utterly perplexes me, is that, from a previous thread, I can do this and get 9999 back in an alert
box in Netscape and IE. So, this proves Netscape doesn't have some evil code that disregards hidden fields. I guess...
I even copied these fields directly below the opening <form> tag in my form and both Netscape and IE see the first hidden field as as
subscript 0.
However, my form is much more complicated. I have tables within tables and about 30 other fields. In my form I cannot for the life of me get Netscape to recognize the first hidden field of junk_array to zed as index 0.
Somehow, If I make the first type=hidden fields visible, netscape does work nicely. Why when I toggle type=hidden to type=text does Netscape cooperate. What is happening here? Anyone else have this problem with hidden fields in Netscape? I could post the code to my form but it is
big.
I have text fields in my form with the same name. I can reference the value of these fields in IE 6.0 like with document.form.field[i].value. However, netscape 4.7 seems to croak. Why? What is the equivalent way to get the value in netscape 4.7.
I dynamically create a hidden form field with some javascript. It works fine, the field gets created and filled in with whatever the user types in the prompt popup. But even though I have specified type="hidden" it is still displaying the field contents at the bottom of my form.
var newvar = document.createElement('input'); newvar.setAttribute('name',varname); newvar.setAttribute('type','hidden'); newvar.setAttribute('value',Prompt.show("Enter notes")); document.mainform.appendChild(newvar);
I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the hidden types to text (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.
What I want to do is add two Text Fields in the html page where the above code is given to allow clients to add text and somehow "feed" this text to the values of the hidden fields Param1 and Param2. This way, the added text will show up in the page outside of my website where the clients are taken after they submit the form.
Sorry if I?m posting this in the wrong forum but I couldn?t figure out through an internet search if js is required for what I want to do. I have the below code in an html page and, since I cannot change the ?hidden? types to ?text? (no control whatsoever on the form), I manually add the values in the code. Clients only need to press "Submit", which is the only visible part of the form on the screen, and they are then taken to a page outside of my website.

I'm poking at a small "single page application" (SPA), ala TiddlyWiki, to act as kind of a local, single-user version of Twitter (no real application, except to familiarize myself with JavaScript). Right now I'm using a hidden field to hold JSON, which is currently my flat-file database of posts.
Is there a better way to store JSON data in a SPA other than hidden fields? I'm Googling now to allay or confirm my concerns, but I'm worried that there may be some upper limit to how much data you can cram in the value of one.
I'm using JSON mostly because (a) I really prefer it to XML in JavaScript applications, (b) it seems (key word, "seems") smart to separate my post data from posts (so I can show n-number of posts at a time), and (c) I really dislike parsing XML in JavaScript when JSON seems like a viable alternative. (Though, given my size/space if JSON isn't going to work, I'm not averse to using XML.)
I've an input field in the form which is displayed based on the user selection. Initially it is set to 'display:none' and I do have a validation rule for that field.
How do I skip validation on this hidden input field and only validate when its displayed on the page.
I have a form with an inputbox and the value of that input box needs to be also assigned to a hidden field.[code]Here is the hidden field I need the above value assigned to.[code]
The problem is that when you click the link, the page simply reloads to a blank page with the only code being the hidden field. This is not what I want, I want the hidden field code to be passed along, and then for the form to submit. So, what should have is that the hidden field code is added, and then the form submits.
I'm trying to combine 3 form input fields into 1 that is hidden (Date of Birth). The input fields are DOB-MM, DOB-DD, and DOB-YYYY and the hidden field is DOB which will store the Date of Birth in the following format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Unfortunately I don't know javascript write a quick script that will combine these 3 fields and arrange them in the format required.
I have a form that has 50 text fields and a corresponding hidden field for each of these. i.e. textfield1 hiddenfield1 etc. When the textfield has data entered it calls a script but I want the script to change the corresponding hidden field but am stuck as to how to do this. I have the following function which gets called: function addOptions(currentRole) { document.addGroup.['use_role_'+currentRole].value='Y'; } How to get this work work. Where I have ['use_role_'+currentRole] the currentRole should be replaced with the number (1 - 50) so as to change use_role_23 if currentRole is 23.
This is a question for anybody familiar with rich text editors. Does anybody know why hidden form fields always appear as visible text fields in IE and not firefox? Just curious if you have experienced this with any RTE you have used or developed.
I have a flash file that calls this JS function. It basically adds a number to a comma separated string. this works fine.
var select = ""; function selectCounty (cid){ select = cid + "," + select; } The flash also calls this function to remove a value from the string. The removeVal() function works. though, the *select* variable is not reforming into a string. I'm missing how to then put the array into a form that this is part of.
function unSelectCounty (cid){ // split the *select* string into an array var select_array = select.split(/,/);
// remove *cid* value from array unselect = removeVal(select_array, cid);
// reset *select* var select = ""; for (i=0;i<unselect.length;i++){ if (unselect[i] != ''){ select = unselect[i] + "," + select; } } } function removeVal(arr, valToRemove){ // Normalize to a string like !val!!val!!val! var s = '!' + arr.join('!!') + '!' // Remove targeted values with delimiters s = s.replace(new RegExp('!' + valToRemove + '!', 'g'), ''); // Remove delimiter added to end in step 1 s = s.replace(/^!/, ''); // Remove delimiter added to start in step 1 s = s.replace(/!$/, ''); // Convert to array return s.split('!!'); } Please help with these two problems-
1) i cant get the *select* string in unSelectCounty() to reform correctly. 2) i am unsure what to write so that the value of *select* is passed in POST form array. it can accept it either as an array or a string.
I'm having a problem using javascript with a form. I'm using javascript to determine whether or not a person has selected "yes" or "no" from the select list. If "yes" is selected, the form is supposed to slide down and reveal two more fields. If "no" is selected, the form is supposed to slide back up hiding those two fields again.
When "yes" is selected, the form displays the two new fields properly. In Safari, it does the slideDown animation, yet in Firefox, the new form fields just suddenly display. If I select "no" again, nothing happens. The slideUp animation doesn't play. So currently I am having to use $("#parent1").hide(); to get the "no" to trigger.
I want a text field's value to populate/copy on submission to 2 hidden fields value that resides within the same page. Example below <input type="text" name="county" size="5" maxlength="5" value="55555" /> <input type="hidden" id="age" name="yourcounty" value"" /> <input type="hidden" id="DOB" name="ourcounty" value"" /> For information this will be sent to a php file. How this could be possible?
I am working on a page where the user will select a location from a dynamically generated dropdown list. I was able to create the php multidimensional array (tested and working) from a MySql database using the users information at login, but I'm having problems converting it to a javascript multidimensional array. I need to be able to access variables that I can pass to a number of text fields within an html form.For instance, if a user belongs to a company with multiple addresses, I need to be able to let them select the address they need to prepopulate specific text fields.
so I am working on getting the file names that are uploaded through uploadify entered into a database table - I am using the method posted here . Supposedly after all the uploads complete, a hidden form field should be appended to my form (form1) with the name of the file that was just uploaded (in the onComplete call) - the problem is after the file is uploaded, I don't see any hidden form fields in the page source, and also the filename that is being returned is not the unique name (in the upload script). Here is the code:
I am pretty new at javascript and I am trying to create a payment form that has both fields for payment by check and payment by credit card.I am wondering how I would go about having a radio button that asks the user how they would like to pay "credit card" or "check" and depending on which one they pick it shows the fields pertaining to that type of payment.the fields in the form look like this:Credit Card Fields:
I need "description1" to be passed as the text (or hidden text) "Disaster Relief Fund" and I need a separate hidden text "item1" to be passed as "3563".
I have been looking for the past 2 days for a script that I can add and delete table rows.
I have found a lot but so far all of them add an input field but I desperatly need a textarea or ideally a section of input fields.
I have tried to change the code from input to text area but none of them worked.
Have you come across to a similar script.
I would appreciate any contributions.
What I am trying to do is a page where the user will add their employees details so we can order business cards for them. So I have fileds such as, Name, Tel Num, Email, Cell etc.
I have this order form where the customers can change the quantity by intput in a text field.I would like to have the text field changed with select fields, but doing so in the form, the script is not doing anymore.Can anyone have a look and tell me what to change in the scritp to accept select fields in place of the text fields.
