Create A Text Area Input Filed For User Input?
Jun 15, 2011
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.

Here is a script for limiting text area input. It also shows the remaining characters. Simply change the start value for "Characters remaining" to adjust the max length of the form.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//Original Script By: Adam Matthews
//Date: 05/05/2005
//Posted at: http://www.codingforums.com
var max=0;
function showChar(obj)
{
var obj3=document.getElementById("char");
if(max==0)
{
max=obj3.firstChild.nodeValue*1;
}
len=obj.value.length;
var cur=max*1;
cur=cur-len;
if(cur<0)
{
var obj2=document.forms[0].elements['comm'];
var str=obj2.value.substring(0,max*1);
obj2.value=str;
showChar(obj2,max);
return false;
}
else
{
var obj2=document.getElementById('char');
var str=document.createTextNode(cur);
obj2.replaceChild(str,obj2.firstChild);
return true;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<textarea name="comm" cols="20" rows="3" value="" onkeyup="showChar(this);" onblur="showChar(this);"></textarea>
<br />
Characters Remaining: <span id="char">200</span>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I'm working on a simple feedback form (well not so simple for me) for the last page of my site.
In the text area I expect to get normal western text PLUS (or even just) Chinese xharacters
my question is how do you validate Chinese character input?

how to copy an input field to an input field using a check box, what I want to do is copy data from an ID that has been populated with data using ajax and then select which data I want to copy depending on the drop down option selected. I can get the drop down box to alert the same data back that I want to copy but I can't display that data inside the input field.
step by step:
1. search for data with ajax and populate ID with data
2. use drop down box to select data to copy and copy it to input field
Tutorial I read
HTML CODE
This is the ID that already has data retrieved using ajax.
<tr>
<td width="18%">
Last, First
</td>

I'm trying to create a 4 x 4 array filled with numbers input by the user. I then need to rotate the grid clockwise like I've shown below.
01 02 03 04
05 06 07 08
09 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
13 09 05 01
14 10 06 02
15 11 07 03
16 12 08 04
I made all numbers double digit just for show in the example so the table is easier to read. So far the code I have is just trying to create the array and fill with numbers from the user. This asks for a number once then doesn't display anything at all.

I have an input field for the users name and I have one for their password. Now when they come onto the page I want to have the value for the username filed say "username" and the passwordfield should say "password". Then when the users focusses on the password input the input type should turn password so when they type their password it shows like "*******".

I just joined the forums (literally) and just started coding (mainly with CSS and HTML) about 3-4 weeks ago. I'd really like to get into JavaScript to make cool things happen on my website. With that being said, I've come up with a pretty cool idea but am not sure how to go about my problem.
Enough with the chit chat. What I'm trying to do is add text to a user's input. For instance, if they write "Hello", the function should automatically add "World" to the output. I'd ideally like for the output to be searched on Google (think search engine) with the results displayed on a new page.

I know how to change the status bar text using a link mouseover, but not a button.
I want the user to enter text into a text box, click a button, and have the status bar show that text. Do I need to assign the text to a variable?

i needed a text input so the user that will register a product, will make sure to enter the cents, and not just the raw money, making it to be stored incorrectly on my database.for example, if i type "1" the output inside the text field will be automatically "0.01", so the user HAS to type the cents.

can you delete text in a input text box with an onclick event like this.
<p>Name<br />
<input type="text" value="enter name" name="name_billing" size="56" onclick="delete" />
</p>
I am trying to create input text area with default text so that when the user clicks the field the default text is deleted and replaced by what ever the user types in

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
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Size" maxlength="200">Size</td>
[code].....
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 a form where a user enters a number in a text box (txtTickets). When that number is entered, I need to create an equal number of select boxes. I've found code examples which show how to dynamically add or delete options from a select box, but I have found no examples which deal with this specific scenario. The select options do not depend on user input -- that is, I do not need to populate it dynamically. I need to create them dynamically. Has anyone created something similar to this?

On a single form, I need to capture the users input on this input box
HTML Code:
<p>
<label for="Student ID">Student ID
</label>
<input type="text" name="sesStudID" />
</p>
to this input box HTML Code: <p><label for="User Name">User Name</label><input type="text" name="sesUserName" disabled="disabled" /></p> so as the user inputs to the first input box it will at the same time appear on the second input box.
