Turning A Text Link Into A Form Field?

Nov 20, 2011

I'm working on a web app where a profile is displayed to a user. The profile consists of data pulled from FB and LinkedIn via their respective API's. I'd like to provide the user with the ability to add more detail to the profile. I've scoured the web looking for a way to use Javascript to change an HTML element from a link to a form field but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

For example...

Profile:

Education: College Add Major

And when the user clicks the "Add Major" link, it turns into a form field. I'm not much of a front end developer but I'm working alone on this project so I have to wear a few hats.

Turning Form Actions On And Off With Javascript Or Some Tother Method

Oct 28, 2000

Does anybody know how to turn off form actions please?

I have 2 types of users (members and non-members) using the same form action. This form has 4 buttons in total.

If the user is a member they have full access to all buttons.

If the user is a non-member they can only use 2 of the 4 buttons.

So, at the moment, when they are non-members and click on one of the members buttons, an OnClick event handler is added to the input type = "submit", which generates a new window with a document explaining to the user that they need to register.

There is no problem generating this window.

The problem is that the form specified in the form action still executes and the members page is still displayed.

So is it possible to turn off the form action in this instance so that the main page isn't refreshed/executed, or do I have to create different form actions for different users.

Surely there must be a way to prevent the form action from being triggered?

I realise I could simply not display the button for non-members, but I'd prefer to do so, as it allows them to see the features that members receive.

OnClick Adds Text Field To Page (Limit 3 - Each Text Field Displays Different Text)

Nov 22, 2010

I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right

<script language="javascript">
fields = 1;
function addMore() {
if (fields = 1) {
document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>";
[Code]....

Updating Text Not In A Form Field?

Jan 25, 2011

I am very green in Javascript but I am working on it, I was wondering if this is even possible:

I have a bit of information as just text on a page, what I would like to do is to have the text change according to which form button they select. The trick is that the text information is not in a form, its just in a table.

example:

Here would be blah blah blah

()<-bad impression of a button

once I select that button, the information above it would change to something different.

Inner Label In Form Text Field

Mar 11, 2009

I have a form and inside the text fields I have a note that indicates: Type here your name...all this instead of having titles for each field. That text is set as initial value and the user has to highlight the text to delete it. What I am wondering is if there is a way to have the text but when the user clicks on the Field the text disappears and there is no need for deleting. I have seen this before but I can recall where.

Moving Form Data Into New Text Field

May 18, 2010

Ive got a form with 3 text fields, one for first name, last name and one i dont what the user to be able to write things in(if that cant be done no biggy), when I hit submit, I want to move these two entries (first name and lastname) into uneditable text field so basically just combine the two, and then the user can add more names and it just keeps adding them to the end of the other text field... kinda hard to explain, basically like a chat type thing, where hitting enter just adds more names to the other text field except only you can see it.

Submit Only The Text Field Part Of A Form?

Jan 16, 2006

I have a search interface that I'm building that uses radio buttons, jump menus and a keyword search text box.

Is there a way to have a little "go" button next to the text field that will submit just the search string in the text box to my searchresults.php page?

Right now, any submit button I put within the page submits all parameters from my radio buttons and jump menus in addition to the keyword values. I would like the keyword entry box information only to be used if there are any values in it and have any other variables (e.g. from the radio buttons) to be null so I don't get a search with keywords AND radiobutton values. Of course, if nobody clicks the radiobuttons, no problem, no values are passed, but I'm sure some pesky user will have some checked and then decide to do a keyword search...

I'd rather send the info to the same PHP results page, so I don't want other values to muddle up the keyword results. I'm sure I could erase the other values with an 'if keywords=anything then other variables are null' statement, but I want the user to think they're only submitting the keywords from the entire page (which is what a 'go' button next to the field would imply) and I thought there might be a simple way.

JQuery :: Display Text Form Field Value On Page?

Feb 18, 2011

I have a standard HTML form that asks the user for a dollar amount and a payment date. On the same page I want to display some acknowledgement text which displays to the user what they entered above.

For example, lets say the user entered 10.00 as the dollar amount, and 03/01/2011 as the payment date in separate HTML form text fields. Right before the submit button I would like to display to the user "By clicking on the submit button below, I agree to pay $10.00 to Company, Inc. on 03/01/2011".

I'm sure this can be done using jQuery... I'm just having a hard time finding an example.
