I have a table with numerous textareas that I am able to clear once - the first time the textarea is clicked the default value is cleared and everything is OK.However, at a certain point the user might press a 'Clear' button linked to a function I wrote to reset the values back to the defaults. At this point clicking into the textarea does not clear it.
I'm using the form validation and it's working great. But the form reset button, although it clears the form fields, does not clear the errors. My page header has this code so far:
[Code]....
I'm trying to understand how to implement the following in order for the reset button to do that:
var validator = $("#myform").validate(); validator.resetForm();
I'm not an experienced JS person but have a lot of other programming experience (vb, vba, mssql, delphi).
I need to clear the default value from a textarea when a user clicks on the textarea and then replace it if the user clicks away from the textarea without modifying it. I have managed to accomplish this with the textfields in my forms but I am struggling to get the textarea element to mimic this behavior. Here is the script I am using:
$("textarea").val("");Throws an error in IE6: "Could not set the value property.Unspecified Error"But it works fine in all other browsersanother way of clearing a textarea that works in
I have a textarea in a dialog and everytime I am resetting the textarea value before open the dialog.But on FF4 dialog value is not resetting. I checked the teaxtarea value from the Firebug and it is blank but still textarea conatins the previous value it had. If I reset the textarea from console the it works perfect.I didn't found any solution. At the end I am removing the textarea and re append it to the dialog when I am opening the dialog.
After passing values, I cleared the form to start over and tried passing a new value but the previous values return with the new value. I hope that makes sense. Here's the code:
$("textarea").val("");Throws an error in IE6:"Could not set the value property. Unspecified Error"But it works fine in all other browsers. another way of clearing a textarea that works inall browsers?I'm using JQuery 1.3.2You have no idea how much I hate IE6 right now!
I have a table (not in a form) that has several input text boxes. I want to have a reset button that acts like the form RESET button. I thought I would use the following jQuery method:
Here's my reset button code:
Here's one of my table input lines:
I thought this would be simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to target the text that the user types into an input field before he/she decides to "reset" and start over.
I'm thinking that my problem is that I can't find the correct syntax for my line: $('input.firstname').value('')
How would i change back to the default length of textarea?
I have this comment area that after clicking submit i will append the new comment in the list of comments through ajax... i got one problem though, everything is working perfectly well except for the textarea that won't change back to it's default size...
EXAMPLE:
The problem is that the textareawon't change back to it's default size // let's say that the default size is rows=3
i'm having some problems getting innerhtml to clear on mozilla, but it works fine in ie. my page is setup such that i have a div:
<div id="otherModel"></div>
on a select from a combo box, in my javascript i execute: div = document.getElementById("otherModel"); depending on what's selected in a combobox, i execute: var inner2 = "<p>Other Model:<br />"; inner2 = inner2 + "<input type='text' id='otherModel' "; inner2 = inner2 + "size=ཐ' maxlength=ཚ' value='Enter Model'>"; div.innerHTML = inner2; or simply: div.innerHTML = "test";
This all works fine independantly; it'll either fill with my textbox, or the test string. but if the innerhtml is filled with the text box, then i make a new selection that fills it with "test", it doesn't clear out the text box.
If i replace the variable inner2 with simple text, everything seems to work great (but i need a text box!).
I have a page with multiple text fields, each of which has an example for an initial value. I've added the appropriate code so that onFocus() the example is cleared away, and a blank field is left behind. Trouble is, I only want that to happen once, so that the field isn't cleared if the user attempts to edit what they wrote earlier. Anybody know of a way to do that with only a few lines of code? Here's my existing code:
I have a form with two input fields - 'name' & 'research'. What I'd like is for 'name' to be cleared when the user clicks in 'research' & visa versa. I've tried to do this by implementing the code in Sitepoint's excellent new DHTML Utopia article, but without success. I'm guessing that I should be using the onblur event, but am not sure how to go: Code:
I have a page with 5 sets of form fields. Each field set has a checkbox that if checked will allow users to utilize it. I want to clear the given field set when the user un-checks the check box. As you can see in the code below this method will make for a very long and cluncky script, I would like to make it more generic.
I have a working script here regarding generating a <div> that contains a <input> text. My concern is whenever the checkbox is unchecked, the <input> type hides but the value is still there (the one inputted)
Here is my code for reference:
HTML Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function showCheckBoxDiv (DivName, box) { vis = (box.checked) ? "block" : "none";
[Code]....
Say for example, I click the checkbox, the field appears, I inputted something on the field, but I unchecked the checkbox, when I click again the checkbox the value I input is still in the field. Is there any way, it can be cleared as soon as the checkbox is unchecked?
If I fill out the textfields properly with Name, Email etc in a row it is fine. But if I fill out, for example, my Name, then tab twice, it clears my entered value. How do I stop this?
All I want the script to do is that when the cell is blank or whitespace, put the necessary text in the field, else, continue as normal. Code:
I have a couple of different webpages that need to call a function to clear the textbox onFocus of the textbox. I'm wanting to use one function that I can call from a javascript include file (rather than having multiple versions of the function all through the site).
So far i've tried the following:
function clearfield(poForm,poElement) { if (document.forms[poForm].poElement.value == "Type Search Here...") document.forms[poForm].poElement.value = ""; }
I'm making a small web app and I want to upload files on the server. Everything works fine, but what I want to achieve is to remove any special chars in the value name.My value name is 'NewFile'. I want to remove any special chars from the name before the upload process, ex.: remove things likeAll I want to keep in the string is small caps english letters (no etc.) and numbers. no spaces. I want to keep underscores and dashes too ( - and _ ).I can't seem to get it.That it what I used;
i wanna make a confirmation alert box (jquery i suppose) then when triggers when someone click log out. on cancel it stays there but on ok it destory the session and cookies and logout.
On this page http://bit.ly/gAajO3 I have a comment form and would like the input and textarea contents to turn to blank when a user clicks on them, however this is not working for me. Would like to know what is going wrong if someone can spot it.Also on submit I want the input and textarea to be cleared if their value is 'Please type here'. This is working on the name input and textarea, however it seems the email field is not being cleared,
Code: ImageHandler.prototype.fade = function() { var oThis = this;
if(// some conditions) { window.clearTimeout(oThis.timer); }
// the this.timer is set to null in the constructor. this.timer = window.setTimeout(function(){ oThis.fade() }, 150); } Problem I have is that the timer is not cleared. The if when the timer should be cleared works fine, so I took it out in this example to minimize the code.
I also tried window.clearTimeout(this.timer) with no luck. Any ideas?
i am currently developing a java script based calcualtion form that will take the data entered in to a few text boxes, calculate a result and output.
I can get the results I want but my script is falling down on the validation code I have.
When the script is run it correctly picks up the validation failures and displays an alert prompt however once a user OK's the prompt the page then clears itself of all the user input data , I dont want this to happen.
what I want it to do is to throw the validation error and then let the user edit the data they had input.
