JQuery :: Autocomplete Working - Get The Row ID Into Hidden Form Field
Dec 18, 2009
I have the official qQuery autocomplete plugin ( from bassistance) working properly. Start typing a product name and it queries my php script and mysql to return a list of products.
However, when the user submits the form, I want a hidden form field that contains the row ID for that product in the database table. I would have thought that this is a very common need, but I did not see any of the examples in the doc or website.
Well, my problem is with the use of basic plugin for Jquery Autocoplete, I have not used any of the many that circulate on the Internet. I managed to do well the search and query the database, it returns me the names of the students, the problem comes when I assign the id of the selected name to a hidden field of the form to send via the id _get to another page editor.
To achieve this autocomplete (or autosuggest), I created 3 files. 2 to make the query and process, and the next file that contains the form and the Javascript code that should work.
busq-alumnos.inc.php:
Anyway, the point is that everything works fine except the assignment of the hidden field id on the form.
I'm using jquery autocomplete to fill a textbox with some text but I need to get the ID of the item too. For this purpose I thought to use the on select event to fill an hidden field the problem is that the on select event is never fired.
When I echo that second span, I get the selected value from the first span. But I need to get that value into a hidden html form field, so I can pass it along with the $_POST array. How do I do this?
I am very new to jquery and I am trying to set the value of a textarea which is not in a form, into a hidden field which is in a form. In the text area, I have given it an id called refnote and ive used the text() to get the text in it. However, the problem is setting the retrieved text in a hidden form field. $('form').submit(function(){ alert ($('#refnotes').text()); return false; });
I'm using Jrn's autocomplete jQuery plugin and I'm having trouble changing the value of my hidden input.
The first part works fine - it searches the array and I can select any of the results. However, I'm trying to grab the "id" key value from the array and use it as the value of my hidden input.
Here's my test page.
(I'm using a "GET" form, so submit the form and you'll see that the "account" value submits as empty)
Here's my array:
Code:
And the part that (I believe) should be putting the value of #account into my hidden input:
Code:
Basically, select "Account Five" from the auto-complete, and it should change the value of my hidden input to "0005".
Seems like it should be a relatively simple solution, but I'm still fairly new to JS and jQuery.
i have a form in which a hidden field (initial value as Ɔ', and my javascript set it to Ƈ' when an event is trigged). In the same form, i have a reset field. But I realized that the hidden field is not reset to Ɔ' when i push the reset button. If I simply change the node from
"<input type="hidden" id='IsChanged' value=Ɔ'>" to
I have modified a free JS function from here: [URL] To dynamically add text fields to the form. My work-in-progress version is here: [URL] On the form, I have a hidden text field:
I want to pass a value received through the Url to another screen with new data by a form using the method="get". I have tried several different ways, my latest attempt was to use a hidden field hoping that would add to the url string but it isn't working.
I have a flash game that passes a score via URL string i.e.(URL) and I want it to populate the "value" of this hidden form field (<input type="hidden" name="Score" value=""> ), but I dont know where to begin. The form is in an HTML doc and not within flash, if that makes any difference.
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'm trying to combine 3 form input fields into 1 that is hidden (Date of Birth). The input fields are DOB-MM, DOB-DD, and DOB-YYYY and the hidden field is DOB which will store the Date of Birth in the following format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Unfortunately I don't know javascript write a quick script that will combine these 3 fields and arrange them in the format required.
Ok, so I am working a project where one of the last parts is to have a hidden field in the form to pass the product id with everything else in the url parameters. As of right now I have it setup to grab product info for an external file and display on order_form.html(function addprod on line 29), in the h4 tag(line 250) is where the 'prodid' is displayed, I am needing to see if there is a way to get that value put into the hidden field(line 260) to be passes along.
I have an order form where a customer can select a number of artwork prints supplied by different artists and suppliers. The name, price, postage amount and other details for each of the prints are held in a table in a MySQL database. As postage amount may vary between prints and suppliers of the prints we must have the customer select postage per print - not the amount just yes or no. The customer may select as many of these prints as he desires - printa, printb, printc, printd etc. through to printz. Many of the prints are provided by separate individual suppliers and must therefore have postage paid for each ordered print and this is automatically added by the order form. However some prints are provided by the same supplier and only one postage fee needs to be chosen (yes or no), so these are not automatically added and the customer must choose to pay postage on only one of the prints (not all 3 if he orders 3 of them).
So for postage purposes I have a postage code on the table in the MySQL database. For example printa, printb and printc are all supplied by the same supplier so each have a linked postage code of A. Similarly others may also be linked using different postage codes e.g. printx and printy may have a postage code of B. So whenever a customer chooses a print that does not have a linked postage code then the postage fee is automatically selected for him and charged to the total. However where prints are linked to the same postage code we must allow the costomer to select postage (yes or no), but we must force him to select yes or no for at least one of the linked prints.
So to do this I need a javascript validation alert to force the customer to choose yes for postage for at least one of the prints, not necessarily all of them, where they have a linked postage code. To do that I can add the the postage linked code as an array for each print selected to a form hidden field so that my javascript can use the field as follows: <input type="hidden" name="postagearray[]" value="<? echo $postagecode; ?>">
I need to add an input hidden field to an existing form (post).
I have tried a couple things like adding the '<INPUT type=hidden name=idSelectedURL value=http://server/documents>' to the innerHTML of the form but it fails. ie
also, trying to add an element to the form such as: var frm = document.getElementById("idForm"); var oField = frm.createElement ('input'); oField.type ="hidden"; oField.name = "idSelectedURL"; oField.value ="http://server/documents";
none of these work and give me a javascript error.
I don't think the createElement method can be used from the form object, only from the document object. still could not get it working.
I have an HTML contact form on many different pages of a web site. I need to know which page the user was on when they submit the form. I need to pass the URL of the current page as a hidden field through the form when it's submitted. Do I need to add javascript to the header to call a function pulling the URL and then a secondary function to place it in the hidden field's "value" attribute?
I have a draggable marker on my page that sets the value of a javascript variable when the marker is released.I want to submit this value to store it in a database however I cannot figure out how to pass this javascript variable as a hidden form field.Here is my code. I suspect this is completelyhow to make this "lat" value available to me after the form has been submitted.
The thickbox opens with the title "Preview", but is empty.I've alerted the div after setting it, and it does contain the formfield value.Why might this be happening? I've also tried setting the div like this (foo as dummy text - to no avail):
Im trying to create a hidden form field in a parent window from within a child window (popup). I am trying to use jQuery, but unfortunately the hidden field does not get created.
I'm using a jquery autocomplete (plugin v 1.1) in an older application. It works fine. I'm now writing a new one and I'm using the jquery ui 1.4.4 version of autocomplete. In the 1.1 version, if I typedizzaand the only match in the resulting list waspizza, thenpizzawould be highlighted and clickingenterwould select pizza. The newer version will not do this.Pizzawill show up alone in the list but I still have to arrow down, or click it to select it. Is this a lost feature or is there a property that activates'auto-select'?
I have been using the jquery autocomplete plug-in for some time now and find it very useful. Lately I have come across the following problem in one of my JSP pages. The autocomplete suggestions are displayed and formatted properly. But when I select the one that I want, the result briefly appears in the input field and disappears. Simultaneously, the entered result automatically triggers another jquery search. The contents of my JSP page is given below. The same jquery code works perfectly well with other JSPs.
Code: <%@ include file="../common/include.jsp" %> <script> var cols = []; // column mappings : 0=Last name, 1=First Name, 2=Title, 3 = Employee ID $ .ready function { .....
I am trying to create a web application using ASP.NET MVC and I want add auto complete functionality to one of my text box. So I have added below C# code into my HomeController class to return the data as JSON objects.
