Change Color Onclick For Default Textbox Value?

Jan 11, 2011

I've been trying to make a default value in a text box go away when clicked.

The general consensus on this forum and on the rest of the internet seems to be that this code:

<script>
function clearText(field){
if (field.defaultValue == field.value) field.value = ''
else if (field.value == '') field.value = field.defaultValue;

[Code]....

But I wonder how I can add a color change to this function. They default value "enter email address here" would be in grey, but when the user begins to type, it would be black. then deleted what'd been typed, back to grey.

document.getElementById(email_box).style.color='#000000'; .....is that too nave..? It didn't work no matter where I put it. And dreamweaver didn't like it when I tried to copy the syntax of the first function, but make it change colors instead. It furthermore hated me trying to assign two different functions to the onClick event.

It also didn't like at all when I tried to apply two classes to the same object..

Textbox Or Textarea Change Font Color Based On Character Count

Aug 25, 2011

I want to implement a text input box for SMS text messages and the messages are limited to 160 characters (including spaces, etc.). I would like the font color of the text to be green as the user types and any text beyond 160 characters to be red. I would like to do this with one input box, the same box that the user is typing in not a separate display box. This will be on the users local PC it won't be on the Internet.

Onclick Change Text To Textbox

Nov 19, 2009

My site inventive.webs.com/ad-hoc contains lists of activities. When a user double clicks on an activity, the text will change to textbox, then double click again on the textbox to return to static text, which is so far working properly. What I want to happen next are:

1. Textbox must return back to static text when user clicks anywhere on the body.
2. When there's an existing textbox, it should return to static text when another activity list is being double clicked.

JQuery :: AddClass - Change The Color Of Surrounding Text Of The Disabled Radio Button To The Color Grey

Feb 8, 2010

I have this markup:

[Code]...

There are two radio buttons, sometimes one will be disabled, other times the other will be disabled. I would like to make a script that: First: Changes the color of surrounding text of the disabled radio button to the color grey. Second: Checks the other radio button.

This was my plan: I would make a script that: First: Removes all the current classes and add the class "greyed_out" (or better: change only the color of) the parent element, all siblings and children of siblings (if any) of the radio button that is disabled at that time.Second: Sets the attribute "checked to the other radio button". I made a script, but when I set the bottom radio button to disabled the script doesn't work:

Additional Color Array For Background Color Change On Mouseover

Apr 24, 2011

have been trying to rework this to call additional, independent sets of colors to cycle through (so it would loop thru a set of grays, a set of primary colors, etc). I would use perhaps a different function name in the HTML to call different sets of colors. If this is more complex than I think it is, I think 3 sets would be plenty. demo link of script in current state at bottom)

<html><head><title></title>
<script language=javascript>
colors = ["#cacdca", "#b2b4b2", "#969896", "#7d7f7d", "#ffff00"];
cRGB = [];

Changing Color Of Default Textarea Text?

Aug 30, 2009

Anyways I have a textarea that I have managed through the magic of google to have the default text clear out with the onfocus and if the textarea is left blank to put the default text back in with onblur. I now have a new problem that is a little CSS and a little JS I suppose. I want the default text in the textarea to be grey and the user submitted text to be black. I know it is possible because... well facebook has it.

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
Invite via Email: <br />
<cftextarea name="emails" cols="50" rows="3" value="Separate Emails by Comma" onclick = "if (this.value == 'Separate Emails by Comma') this.value = '';" onblur = "if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Separate Emails by Comma';" ></cftextarea>
</td>
</tr>

I don't actually have to put the text in the JS Function, but to have it pull the default text from attribute that would be awesome to.

Change Background Color And Font Color?

Feb 11, 2009

I have a form which contains FOUR text fields (e.g. TEXTFIELD1, TEXTFIELD2, TEXTFIELD3 & TEXTFIELD4). Each text field holds a HEX,DEC color value. ABOVE this form I have a table with TWO ROWS (ROW1 and ROW2). ROW1 should correspond with TEXTFIELD1, so that when the VALUE in TEXTFEILD1 is changed the background color of ROW1 will change to match the HEX,DEC VALUE entered in TEXTFIELD1. The same would happen with TEXTFIELD2 and ROW2. TEXTFIELD3 should be used to change the color of the TEXT inside ROW1 and TEXTFIELD4 should change the color of the TEXT in ROW2. I also wanted to know if it would be possible to achieve this without clicking any button.

------------------------------------------------------------------
| ROW1 | TEXT IN ROW 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
| ROW2 | TEXT IN ROW 2
------------------------------------------------------------------

TEXTFIELD1 <----HEXDEC VALUE GOES HERE to change color of ROW1---->[code]....

Default Textbox Values But Not Overwriting Browser Autocomplete / Solve This?

Jul 24, 2010

I'm working on a site and for my login area, instead of using labels for the textboxes, I wanted to just put default text in there.

The JS that I am using is supposed to only enter the default values in the textboxes if they are blank. Unfortunately, I think the JS runs before the browser puts the "auto remember" stuff into the boxs, so the JS will always put the default values in the boxes.

The problem is that, when its time for the browser to enter the auto remember stuff, it sees that there is already stuff entered, so it doesn't enter the previously-remembered login information.

I'm pretty sure that what I'm trying to do is possible, but maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. Could somebody suggest the appropriate way to do this? code...

JQuery :: How To Assign Correct Background Color To Textbox

Oct 3, 2011

I'm fairly new to JS and definitely new to jQuery, altough I've finished courses on both at an on-line training provider. The textboxes occurring a DOM and when rendered, take the form of a div with an inner part <input>:
<div tabIndex="-1" style="left: 140px; top: 200px; width: 200px;
position: absolute;" parent="Content_collapsibleSection181972">
<input name="Product[0].Submission Information[0].GMAC Submission data[0].Named Insured Info[0].Gm Named Insured" tabIndex="9" title="
"class="textboxitem required" style="width: 200px;"
onfocus=" var returnValue=false; cngBgrnd();
if(returnValue==true){return returnValue;}" onblur=" var returnValue=false
returnValue=remBgrnd(); if(returnValue==true){return returnValue;}"
type="text" size="18" maxLength="50" rrcID="textbox182118"
error_msg="null" field_name="Insured Name" field_required="true"
parent="Content_collapsibleSection181972" value="LeftNavTest"/>

The issue I'm having it converting a CSS Expression to jQuery. The CSS Expression takes the form of:
.textboxitem {
background-color: expression(this.disabled ? '#C0C0C0' : this.field_required == 'true' ? '#FFD88E' : '#F8F8F8');
border: 1px solid #999;font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
height: 19px;
overflow: hidden;
color: black;
}

I'm trying to capture the following possible values and assign the correct background color ...
<input class="textboxitem required">
<input class = "textboxitem disabled required">
Constraints: I do not want to imbed the jQuery in the DOM, but rather add the function(s) to an existing JS file.

Change Text Color For One Document.write But Not Color Of All Text?

Jul 23, 2005

I want to make the date at the top right darker blue. But when I do that, all the light blue text next to the pictures also changes.

How can I control the color of the result of document.write output without changing the forground color of the entire page? Note my document write includes variables, so I was hesitant to imbed an html command in the document.write.

Make An Onclick Event Change The Document.onclick ?

Sep 4, 2010

I want to make it so that when I click on something, it changes what document.onclick does.

This is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:

Code:
<div id="clickme" onclick="document.onclick = function(){ alert ('This should not be alerted on the first click'); }">Click here</div>

However, as you'll notice, the alert box shows up on the first click as well. The only way I have been able to get around this behaviour is to have the first onclick execute a timer that will then set the document.onclick after 1ms, however this seems very messy to me.
