I'm not a JS expert, but is there any way to detect if there is a certain character at the ending of a sentence in a text input field?
for example, when a user puts "Hello, my name is Gary" into a certain text input with a specific ID and using the JS OnChange event, the script will add a period ( . ) if it is not detected.
or, when a period is detected at the end of the sentence ("Hello, my name is Gary."), it won't do anything.
I got this idea from reading the W3 School onchange doc, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
I got a textarea and I need to detect instantly if user input is a chinese character or not. View this message in context: [URL] Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at [URL].
I have a pretty basic set of things I want to do: Capture key press, compare against an allowed list, block keys that are not in that list, replace a space by a dash if entered. As this is happening, I have a span I wanted to be updated with the live values. The username field at [URL] is exactly what I am trying to do, though I have trouble dissecting how they did it. Here is my attempt, which is off by one keypress for some reason.
I am having a form with two input fields. I want to enter some text in the first input field and then the second field should get the same text. Is there a simple way (maybe a plugin) to do this with jQuery? It would be perfect if I even could output all these input fields values as normal text in <p> or <li> tags.
How do I onBlur prompt the user to enter a ZERO as character one, if one is not already entered. At the same time, I would like to ensure at least 5t characters have been entered. This validation should also only trigger if anything is entered. Basically, if the user chooses to enter nothing then the check should not be carried out and the user should be able to continue.
So in pseudo style:
If user data IS ENTERED AND DOES NOT contain a ZERO as first character, or is LESS THAN 5 characters long, prompt for re-entry.
Thanks guys, been trying various things and got close, but have hit a brick wall.
This ALMOST works: function checkField() {if (document.form1.Bsk01.value.length<9) {alert("Please enter a valid code. The first character should be a zero.")}else if (/^0.*$/.test(document.form1.Bsk01.value)){return;}else{al ert("Please enter a valid code. The first character should be a zero.")}}
I am struggling to find definitive information on how IE 5.5, 6 and 7 handle character input (I am happy with the display of text).
I have two main questions:
1. Does IE automaticall convert text input in HTML forms from the native character set (e.g. SJIS, 8859-1 etc) to UTF-8 prior to sending the input back to the server?
2. Does IE Javascript do the same? So if I write a Javascript function that compares a UTF-8 string to a string that a user has inputted into a text box, will IE convert the user's string into UTF-8 before doing the comparison?
I think that the answer to question 1 is probably "YES", but I cannot find any information on question 2!
I have a text area in one of my forms that I want to control the character size of. In short, I want to keep the text area to 10,000 characters.
What I Have Found: I have found a number of scripts that will control the character length of the text area, while you are typing.
The Problem: If you cut and paste a document that contains 15,000 characters into the text area that is limited to 10,000 characters, it will still take all of the information (i.e. the 15,000 characters), as opposed to limiting/cutting it off.
Does anyone know of a script that will control the overall character length whether it be inserted via key stroke or is copy and pasted into the text area? Or possibly point me in the right direction?
I'm trying to implement a OSC addon to update the options price in realtime fromww.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1385, but it seems to only work with single characters currency symbols, like $, €, £, etc. any symbol that as more than one character, like Brazil Real R$, or C€, or Svenska Kronor Skr, doesn't work and the price doesn't update, it stays R$ 0.00 whatever options you choose.I need to use this contribution with the Brazil Real symbol at the left of price like R$ 999.00.Also I can't make it work like 10.000,00. It only works like 10,000.00. But this point is not so important.I have tried everything for some days, but I don't know javascript.Here is the code:
I have an input type=text with value={date}. User scrolls his mouse wheel on it. I need to see what is character number in the text field (in Firefox it's evt.rangeOffset). How to get that in Chrome?

I want to detect input language of client. so i tried in java script with(navigator)it dosent work for my perpose i also used ( HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE) it return system language not keyboard language?
So I have to ask some stupid questions and make sure that there is not something wrong in this simple syntax. I am trying to get input field attributes type and tagname by field ID. Heres the code..
Code JavaScript: var type = $('#' + input_id).attr('type'); var tag = $('#' + input_id).attr('tagName');
When I look in firebug I see there is the correct ID in input_id variable and that the input field with that id exists. But for tag and type variables I just get 'undefined' for reason unknown.. syntax is correct or?
I'm performing some validation functions on a form I've created.For the phone number, I have 3 text boxes lined up next to one another. The first is for the country code, the second is for area code and the third is for the remainder of the phone number.I have used the following in order to detect whether the input value isNaN.
Code: input = document.getElementById("phone1"); if (isNaN(input.value)) { errorText += "[code]...
As I have three text boxes for the phone number, can I group them within this one statement? So, ...getElementById("phone1, phone2, phone3"); ?If not, what would you recommend?
I have a HTML form which takes some values including a password field. I have a JS function to check and alert when a user enters some particular special characters(this is bcoz only these characters are not allowed in the back end of the html form, all the other special characters are allowed). following is the code for it.
function checklen() { var iChars = "`<>"; for (var i = 0; i < document.ipform.password.value.length; i++) {
[Code]...
now i want a feature which does'nt allow the user to enter an uppercase letter or a special character(only these are allowed~@#$%^&*()-_+|) as the the first character of the password field. Since i am newbie to JS, It would be a great help if some one can help me to sort out this..
I'm trying to create a button that when pressed will remove the last character entered in a text field called "cell" using jQuery. Here is what I have:
I'm trying to replicate a feature found in hotmail, facebook, etc. When you type or select a recipient from an auto-suggest box for your message/email that recipient's name is put into the "To" field box and is encased (usually a blue rounded corner box) with a X to the far right. If the "X" is clicked the recipient is removed.
How can do you put the selected recipient into the encasing and insert it in the "To" field box? If there are multiple recipients how are they differentiated? For example, if there were a ";" between the recipients the semi-colon would separate the values.
In my application (yes I know that it's asp) I need to automatically replace a character if it is found in the textbox Is there a way to do this. this is how it renders on the page
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
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.
