is there a way to get the value of "#user_input" without doing...
$("user_input).val()? I want a way to simply identify the form and get a field such as
$("#form").input.name.val() ... something like that. Is it possible/
I have a web form with several fields. If I copy & paste from a RTF document into a field, the javascript validation and field length are bypassed and cause the form to fail.
i think this will help people a lot, cuz i couldn't find any simple answer by googling 3 hours...i need a very very simple jquery form field reset.here is the picture what i need:
HTML Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js'></script> <script>
The following form validation script works, currently if one of the five fields are completed, a message appears the remaining field(s) must be completed etc. Although the information the user has inputted in the first field is cleared. How can this information be available, if there is one problem in the form it doesn't make sense that the user must re-input all the information again. I look forward to hearing your response,
my javascript code is only validating one field at a time (as in it validates on field then submits the form, instead of going through the entire thing and then returning it as true and submitting it...) I'm not sure what to do to be honest, I've looked up google to no real avail.. my variables are declared in a seperate file to the actual even handlers and I have heaps of comments through out it, so please don't judge lol i'm still learning Quote:
//Event Registrations (Variable Declarations) found in validation_chkr.js //Validate Entire Form using validate_join() function validate_join()
Is there a way I can calculate a field in a form based on another field in the same form. When clicking submit, both values should be posted to the next page. I want to be able to type in a value in one field, and automatically in a second field the value*1,36 should appear.
I have a site for property bookings with 2 calendars to enter start and end date. The calendar im using doesnt have any obvious facility to copy yhe date to 2 fields so each one has to be done, months in advance this can be a real pain.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can take the data inserted into one field and copy it to the second?
I've have a function to take the value entered in a form text box, add 50 to it and put the result in another text box.
When I enter 650.5 I get 700.5 exactly how I'd expect. But when I enter -650.5 instead of getting -600.5 I get -650.050 as though it is failing to parse the float due to it being negative. My understanding of parseFloat was that it recognises negative numbers. Is there a nice simple way to get this to work?
I need to pass user input from a form to one database field. I'm relatively new to JS but the idea I had was to have several form elements and use JS to collect the users input and send all the values through a hidden element. What's happening is the variable names are being sent rather than the values. The code below is only passing to the next page. Limitations: I am editing an intranet site built by a 3rd party so a lot of the files we've been given are encrypted. I cannot change the method to post.
I work for a very large company that has zero communications between IT and the employees...so there is very little possibility of having any code changed.I need to use a web based system that submits orders for my department. The problem is i must order by "task number". I could have 20-30 task numbers so to complete the order I need to go to my company's page and fill out 15 form fields and submit for each task code. It is a terrible pain. 14 of the 15 fields are the same for each order... only the task code changes.
I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok.[code]
Am creating a framed chat application and when the user types a message in the form field and clicks the submit button, the message gets sent to the display frame, but the message stays in the form field. How can i get the form to submit the message AND reset the form field to blank too?
I'm trying to do some javascript form validation and I've discovered a rather difficult situation to handle with IE.
Let's say there's a form with three input fields named "name", "method", or "length". Whenever my javascript tries to access the form's name or length, and the form happens to have input fields named "name" and "length", I'm actually accessing the input fields and there seems to be no way to access those properties of the form.
I have an easy workaround for form.length, so there's no need to give me a workaround for that one, but there's a bigger issue with fields like name, method, action, etc.
For example, using document.forms[0].name to get the name of the form seems to map to document.forms[0].elements["name"] istead of the actual name of the form. Is there a work around for this? I am writing some generic form validation code, and I can't expect the person implementing my form validation code to avoid using "name" and "length" as names for their form fields.
I have done this once before but it has been a while. How do I add a new form hidden field and value to an existing form and then submit the form within a function that can be run with an onclick event?
I am looking for some example code for a form, when a user selects from a drop down menu the "other" option, a new field appears below AND the drop down menu gets locked.
I have written a form which includes field for First Name, Surname and Address, etc I wish to add either a checkbox or button to enable the user to click and copy details into fields further down the form to avoid the need to retype. Here is the relevant section of the form: Code:
I know not one word of Javascript and wondered if there was an easy way to pre-populate a form field in a similar manner to populating an eMail 'subject' field? -
The following populates the subject field in an eMail: a href="mailto:me@anwhere.com?subject=USER ID 12345
How can I populate the first field of a form (or can I?) with the same information - i.e. the USER ID located on the HTML page calling the form?
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 building a Point of Sale system and I have a web form where the clerk enters the items being purchased... The product and the quantity. Then they click a button and an AJAX request adds the item to the sale in the database and fetches the price - the price is filled in, the total updated, and a new row is added to the form so they can enter the next item.
What I'd like is to that automatically when they tab out of the last field in the row to save time by not using the mouse... (tab and enter is a lot for some of my users)
What's the best way to do this? leave the buttons and have them activate on focus? an on blur on the last field?
I have two forms on one page. I want to copy the content of one field in form1 to another field in form2. I don't mind using a button. I've put in the code, but it doesn't seem to work. The first field is a long select box, and the second field is the same. Is this the problem? Can you not copy from a select box? In the first form, the select box is populated by the user. I just want to copy the items they've put into the select box into a field in form 2. Here's what I got for my copy button:
I have a basic text input field that is validated with jquery.
I've created a function to append to a url once the user has input an ID into the text field.
However, when I use the window.open method, a new window opens, and when I use window.location, the user ID is appended to the current url and not the url defined in the function.
Here is the function:
Here is the markup:
When a user clicks on the 'submit' button without entering anything into the text field, a new window opens (I know, the function uses the window.open), when I close the new window - the jquery works, a label saying 'this field is required' appears.
When a user inputs an ID, and then clicks on the 'submit' button, a new window opens with the correct appended url.
What I need to have happen is - if the text field is empty and the user clicks on the 'submit' button - I don't want the function to run.
When I switch window.open to window.location, then when the user inputs an ID into the text field, that ID is appended to the CURRENT url and not the url specified in the function. I don't have the luxury of server side scripting.
