Toggle Display Of Form Elements Or Separate Forms?
Feb 20, 2009
I am creating a form to enable advertisers to create listings on an accommodation directory site.One of the form fields is a drop down with the following optionshotelguestHouseselfCateringinnholidayParkcampingThe top part of my form is the same for all these accommodation types. However I need to include a section specific to the accommodation type. This section will include groups of radio buttons and checkboxes allowing the advertiser to choose which facilities/amenities are available.For exampleA hotel may have 24 room service campsite may have a shop on siteI was planning to have a separate div for each of the accommodation specific sections and toggling the display based on the choice of the accommodation type from a drop down list.I have just had a horrible thought that it may be possible if javascript was not enabled that either none of the sections would be displayed or even worse all of them at once.
I have several forms on the same page that need to use the datepicker plug-in. I have datepicker working PERFECTLY on one form. Now I need to add other forms on the page. I haven't been able to get two datepickers working on the same page nor can I find any documentation on whether it's possible. What do I have to do to get two datepickers working in two separate forms on the same page?
I know that within the function I can access properties of the field (e.g. theField.name and theField.value). But how do I access theField's index number in the form's elements[] array -- from the "this" reference that was passed to the function? I.E. if this field is elements[3], how can I get at that 3?
I'm trying to make a page where you can change a page's layout through 2 separate CSS's via a button. i want to button to change text when it toggles the layouts as well. i have no clue how to do this with an entire CSS file, but here is something i made to change the background. could i use this logic to change the CSS of a page?
I have a web page with two forms. I would like to click on a button and email both forms, one after the other to two different email addresses. I am new to jquery and I can't figure out the syntax but my attempt is below. I can do this with javascript but it only works in IE and FireFox but not in Chrome.
I have made a site with 5 pages, each page contains a form. Each form is a checklist with a dropdown to choose an answer for each individual item.
Here is a same of the form code:
I am trying to write a script that will be called with onclick event from the "Next" button. This script will collect all the "notOK" option value/names and send them to a document, concatenating the info from the next forms until a single report is created with a list of all the "notOK" values. One the user gets to the end of the last form, there will be a submit button which sends the entire report to a specific email address.
Here is the script I have so far, which pulls the "notOK" values for each page:
This piece of code works great for an individual page, but I need to expand it to send the data to a report instead of window.alert, and I need to add some way of concatenating the data from each form to a single page, doc, etc.
I want to have several forms on one page that are not displayed until a selection is made from the category drop down box(select element). The form displayed will depend on the selection made. Here is the code I have so far.

I've got a <div> inside a <form> which I show/hide when a user clicks on a show/hide link. That div holds several form options which I DON'T want to submit with the form when the div is hidden.
At the moment, even when my div is hidden, the values within it are still being submitted with the form.
Is it possible to / how do I - hide the div so any values enclosed in it do NOT get submitted along with the form?
I have a feature similar to 'folding', where the user can hide parts of the page if they dont want to use these features.. some of this is done automatically, if a user chooses one type of template on the page, the settings for that one are displayed (and the other settings invisibleised).
Originally I did this with php, reloading the page with a variable to switch the sections on or off. This was proving to be a pain re speed and also cos there were a lot of form elements that needed to be saved each time it was reloaded.
So I decided to do this with javascript, using the following function:
function toggleDisplay(divId) { var div = document.getElementById(divId);
Problem is, I have lots of form stuff in the areas that will be hidden, and these are getting sent through on submit even though they are in a div thats set to display:none. I was hoping display:none would actually result in these not being sent.
anybody know of a nice clean way of preventing these hidden elements not being sent? (there are lots of em so it would have to be applied to the whole div that contains em)
I want to make few forms but 1 submit button. I want to do 1 page , 5 forms , 1 submit button so when i click on the submit button it will send the 5 forms as 1 form.
outputting the results from a javascript search function onto a new page. Right now I am using a javascript search script on 7 pages and it works but the results overwrite the current page that the search was initiated from. I would like it to open a new page and print out into a specific area. Im not really proficient in js, tho I know enough to get by. since ive been grinding my gears at work trying to get this to display right. I'll post the code tomorrow morning when I get to work so you can see the function.
I have a page, with two tables, each placed in a div (lets call them div1 and div2), to give the tables a fixed height. I load data into the tables with $('#div1').load() function, but before I load the data, I call $('#div1').block({message: 'wait'}), and in the load callback, I call $('#div1').unblock(). I do the same for div2. The refresh of the two tables sometimes runs in parallel.
The problem is this:
The first two or perhaps three refreshes, I get the expected behaviour, but after that, the overlay is not shown. If I look at the DOM during the opreation (both in Chrome and Firefox DOM inspectors), I can see the blockUI DOM elements being created and removed, but they never show.
I have tried several things, among others this:
1) Call unblock before block, to make sure, that the element is not blocked.
2) Only to have one div blocked - same result
I have not yet made a page with a simplified example, but that would be my next step.
I've have a function to take the value entered in a form text box, add 50 to it and put the result in another text box.
When I enter 650.5 I get 700.5 exactly how I'd expect. But when I enter -650.5 instead of getting -600.5 I get -650.050 as though it is failing to parse the float due to it being negative. My understanding of parseFloat was that it recognises negative numbers. Is there a nice simple way to get this to work?
How would I seperate a text string such that it would appear on seperate lines ie. Initial Input: StrMsg = "This is an example of a string that will appear on seperate lines" "Hoping that this fully works, there will be no errors and all will be well" "This is the last line of text."
I have a dynamic page of which I don't know how many forms will be on it, neither which and how many elements will be in each form.
I use the following java script to disable all elements from all forms:
var numberForms = document.forms.length; var formIndex; for (formIndex=0; formIndex<numberForms; formIndex++) { for(x=0;x<document.forms[formIndex].length;x++) { document.forms[formIndex].elements[x].disabled=true } }
Now I want this to stay the same, except when an element is a <textarea>. So basically: script must have the same functionallity (disable all form elements), but not if the element is a textarea (then it would remain enabled).
Is there a way to read out this <textarea> value in script ?
Normally I would just use document.getElementById to get anything I need but here is my problem:
I have a zip code control that I load using AJAX. it has city, state, country, county and zip code. This gets loaded within a business application and at one point you can have both a bill to and ship to address forms on the screen at the same time, loading my zip control with the same fields, same ids and same name. This forced me to now pass in the form name that contains the control.
I need to get to divs and spans within this form. Primarily as you type in a city or zip code, I am doing a hot search with a popup div that shows you results you can quickly choose from. The only time this becomes an issue is the situation I mentioned before when the zip code control is on the screen twice. I am not certain how to access the innerHTML of a span or div by way of the form name. Is this possible and if so what is the proper syntax?
Here is a very basic example at its simplest form of my problem.
In the above example because the control was loaded twice, I now have 2 spans with the same ID. I want the innerHTML of the each span based on the form they are in.
We wanted one control that we could use throughout the system that we could update in one place and the entire application be updated. Unfortunately we did not anticipate having it load more than once on the page.
The following code will output numerical values only for the <label>. I need it to display text with multiple characters. For example: I own two exceptional chickens...I own four or more chickens...etc. Again the code works perfectly but only for numbers.
Code: <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ function check(x) { document.getElementById('Radio1').innerHTML = x; } // ]]></script> <form> <input id="r1" onclick="check(one big);" name="r1" type="radio" value="one" /> One <input id="r1" onclick="check(two exceptional);" name="r1" type="radio" value="two" /> Two <input id="r1" onclick="check(three terrific);" name="r1" type="radio" value="three" /> Three <input id="r1" onclick="check(four or more);" name="r1" type="radio" value="four" /> Four </form> I own <label id="Radio1" for="r1">blank</label> chickens.
I have a single page which uses tabs to segment the content. Alongside the tabs themselves is a button for 'Help'. I'd like this button to open a different DIV depending upon the tab that is currently being used.For example, if I am on a tab for 'Ben', if I click the 'Help' button I want the 'helpBen' DIV to slideToggle.If I am on a tab for 'Paul', when I click the 'Help' button I want it to open the 'helpPaul' div.
Some extra needs:
1. switching to a different tab should close the currently open help div (e.g. helpBen or helpPaul)
2. There should only be one help div (e.g. helpBen or helpPaul) open at any one time.
I partly solved this with the following code but with erratic results and I'd like to know what I'm dong so wrong!Here is the HTML for the help button:
<a class="helpTrigger" href="#">Help</a>
The help DIV's are like this:
<div class="helpBen">help relevant to Ben section</div> <div class="helpPaul">help relevant to Paul section</div>
The CSS for .help is display: none; by default so none are shown from the outset.
And here is the jQuery $(".helpTrigger").click(function(){ if (location.hash == '#Ben') {[code].....
In the words of Dr Evil, "throw me a frikkin' bone here..."
Click on any of them, and they open up just fine, however, after this point they dont close, and you also can't open any other one, it just... stays stuck there.
I had this working just fine, and in the process of working with wordpress and templating, obviously I changed something to mess it up.
