Put Text In An Input Box The Disapears When Clicked?
Jan 11, 2010
Does anybody know of a way to make the below input box contain text when the page is initially loaded, but that disapears when the box is clicked to allow for user input?
im trying to implement a login screen similar to Facebook. What i mean by this is i want the username and password fields to have text in them until the user selects the textfield. If the user does not type anything in the textfield the the onblur will automatically change it back, but if the user has typed something in then i want the text to be left alone.At the moment the onblur always changes the value of the textfield. Im not sure how to solve this.(code i am using is below)
Quote: <script type="text/javascript"> function emptyTitle() { if (document.getElementById('title').value=='Enter the Title for Your Post') {[code]......
However, the text that appears is black. How do I style it to make it gray and smaller?
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 have taken a class on PHP and started making some math homework and drills for the tutoring I do. I have asked my kids for feedback and they are telling me that it is inconvenient to hit tab to go to the next text box (They have small arms/fingers..)I then thought of a brilliant ideaLet�s say it was 12 divided by 3. If they wrote a 4 in the input area, the JavaScript would recognize the correct answer and automatically move to the next box. However, if they wrote a 3 in the box, the JavaScript wouldn't move over.This kills two birds with one stone. The inconvenience of hitting tab or clicking on the next box disappears, and they are forced to put in the correct answer.Ironically, I have learned PHP and skipped over JavaScript. Which code would I use to do this?
After the apply button is clicked, the data entered by the user disappeared in the text form. How to keep the data appearing on the text form? The server use jsp and the Spring framework and the client use the Prototype javascript library.

I am trying to create a text area input filed for user input, and i want to be able to allow the user to format thier text, just like the ones used in this user forum. I am writing my website in html, php, javascript and css with a MySql database. I am trying to understand how to create such an format-able text area for input.
I inserted a form with Expression Web 2 and in the form field properties, I had it say "enter your email address here".
When someone currently clicks in that form field, they have to manually delete that text in order to enter their email address. How do I change it so that my text disappears when someone clicks in that area?
OK. I use javascript to dynamically set the visibility of #search_form to 'hidden' and the visibility of #stealth_form to 'visible'. In mozilla/firefox there is no visual difference. In IE the #stealth_form input box is 1 pixel wider, and when the change occurs it catches the users eye and looks strange.
Any ideas / workarounds? I know this is off topic for this group, but most on this group know an awful lot about HTML / CSS, and I thought it was worth a shot.
Basically it changes the text, and background image, clicking it will change the background image, but until we leave the link itself, it will not change the colour.
i am trying to make my custom made combobox with using jquery and ul li menus. So when mouse clicked to the li element i have to read its value and set its parent to the clicked element value etc. Basic selecting method. So how can i read the clicked li element value and set that value to the parent of it. Here my structure.
I want to read clicked li element text not other one i tried var htmlStr = $(this).text;
On my site I have a file uploader. <table align="center"class="table"> <tr> <td class="table_header" colspan="2"><b><?=$websitename;?></b> </td> </tr><tr> <td colspan="2" class="upload_info"> <b>Allowed Types:</b> <?=$types?><br /> <b>Max size per file:</b> <!--<?=$max_file_size?>-->50MB.<br /> <b>Max size for all files combined:</b> <!--<?=$max_combined_size?>-->150MB.<br /> </td></tr> <?For($i=0;$i <= $file_uploads-1;$i++) {?> <tr> <td class="table_body" width="120%"><b>Select File:</b> </td> <td class="table_body" width="120%"><input type="file" name="file[]" size="30" /></td> </tr><?}?><tr> <td colspan="2" align="center" class="table_footer"> <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="true" /> <input type="submit" readonly value=" Upload File(s) " /> <input type="reset" name="reset" value=" Reset Form " /> </td></tr><tr></table>
What I want it to do is when they have clicked upload file(s) I want that to change to "your files are being uploaded" and make the button unclickable?
I am trying to Change the text color of my buttons when they are clicked can somone tell me where to insert and what line of code needs inserted. I am very new to this, i kinda just got thrown into it at work here and am trying to make it happen Code:
I have a simple requirement, I have a list of URLs on a page, I want that when the user clicks on any one URL, then a text box on the same page is filled with some data. The data to be filled in is specific for each URL.
I have a form with several pull-down menus. I want to give the user the option of learning more about the choice they have made in a pull-down menu.
I'd like to create a text link that takes you to a page with the parameter which is the index number of the pull-down menu. I'd also like it to open in a new window.
How do get that value as a parameter to use in a link?
Is it possible to have a text box input searching for the entered text on another webpage in the same way Find In Page would do? I have a webpage that I want users to input an item, and that this will open the targeted webpage and bring you to (and highlight) the matched item(s) like find in page does. Is this possible or is the easiest way to just make users open the link to the target page and just complete the find in page search there?
