Set Value Of Hidden Field
Apr 22, 2007
so I have a form page for a cart to checkout, on the first page, I am using the form action get and the page to pass the variables in the url to...
on the next page, I have grabbing some of them using the document.indexOf function...works great just using document.write(what is returned from the indexOf function); obviously, this just outputs the value in text, however, I need to set the value of a specific hidden field on the same page/form to that of what is returned by what I described above:

I have created a html purchase request form that people will fill out and submit to make purchase requests within my company. In this html form, I have a text field that is automatically populated when the page is pulled up. The text field is populated with the name of the person who is logged in and it is read only so they cannot be deceitful or anything.To get to this HTML Request form, you must log in through a webclient thus the server knows to populate your name because you are the one logged in. The text field populates because of its <input NAME = "OBProperty_CurrentUserRealName", which is a keyword the program identifies and knows to populate with the logged in users name into that particular text field.
That works all fine and dandy, so here is where the problem lies. When submitting the overall form request, the populated name isnt being saved/ carried over to the admin page so we do not know who it was submitted by.To make the persons name carry over and save, another field name keyword must be used.
Which is OBKey__163_1. Which it was suggested to me to make that the input name of a hidden field. I need "text field A" to continue to populate the form with the persons name using OBKey_CurrentUserRealName, then pass the persons name off to a hidden field containing the input name=OBKey__164_1, which will thus save/pass the persons name on with the rest of the filled out request form when its submitted.
Here is what I have:
<input name="OBProperty_CurrentUserRealName" type="text" id="buyer" style="width:100%" readonly="readonly">
<input name="OBKey__163_1" type="hidden" id="OBKey__163_1">

I am still learning jquery but I am wondering why this code does not work. I have a select field called item_name and a hidden field called amount. Based on the selection in item_name, I want to set the value of the hidden field (amount) to a set value. For example:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#item_name').change(function () {
var value = $('#item_name').val();
if(value == "institutional memberhip"){
$("#amount").val("$349.00");
[Code]...

I have a little bit of Javascript that runs fine, but I am trying to write some XML out so that it is the value of a hidden field. When I put it in the hidden field, it just shows the javascript instead of the value.
So, instead of showing the value of i++ it is showing <script>i++</script>
What I want it to show:
What it is showing
It works in the regular page, just not when I make it the value of the hidden form field. Sorry, kinda new to javascript.

I am currently working on a small Ajax image upload script using some clever iframes, php and a lytebox to create a seamless application. a small link on a page starts my lytebox that essentially opens a new page inside this. this page takes a file upload and using an iframe posts to a php script that will validate the file and upload to the server, the location of this file is then posted back to the iframe for viewing. Once this completes I have a cropping tool available for users to make final adjustments to their image before saving this and sending the new cropped image location to a value of a hidden text box. Once the user is happy with this they can click close to return to the parent page, upon doing this the value of the hidden filed is passed back to parent page and saved into another hidden filed to use. ( To clarify, i use hidden values as the parent page is the actual upload script.
My lytebox version was created to allow usability for users to re-size and crop their image before upload, all this happens in the lytebox to appear like its just a cropping tool.) Its at this point I am having some difficulty. I want to alert the user that the upload has been successful and all that is required is the user to hit save. This was ultimately save the finished image with all the users date in the database. I thought I could use an onchange event to trigger a function that would insert text into a div but this wont work. My code for the parent page and the hidden field is:-

I saw this on a website, and I'm confused as to what the possible purpose could be for this.
Code:
<input id="myIDNAME" name="myIDNAME" type="hidden" value="0" />
<input id="myIDNAME" name="myIDNAME" type="checkbox" value="0" />
I thought repeating an ID would return an error.

I have a form whereby I can add multiple contacts to a single address.
There is only one firstname/lastname/telephone box - when the user
clicks the add button, I read the values from the form fields and
record them into a hidden text input field. This part works because
during debugging, I have converted the <input type=hidden> into a <input
type=text> to visably confirm my data is being copied into the 'hidden'
field.
Once the user has entered in one or more names, they can click another
button and submit the form for processing. My idea is that I would then
parse this hidden field server side...
I have a WAMPHP based server and as a test, I dump out my entire $_POST
(basically, the name and value in every INPUT tag).
My PHP script picks up the name of every input tag, including the hidden
field (like it should) but for some reason, the value that was written
to the hidden field is not passed to the server. Thus, for the PHP folk
reading this post, my hidden input field is called mylist and
$_POST['mylist'] exists, but its empty. Even though before processing,
I could visably see the input in the box (for debugging remember, I made
the input tag box a normal, unhidden one).
Here is what I have done to try and resolve:
- I have used both Mozilla 1.7.5 and IE6 - both provide same results -
my hidden field name gets passed, but not its value.
- I have created another hidden field and given it a default value ie I
have <input type="hidden" name="extraone" value="xyz"> and I get
$_POST['extraone']="xyz" passed to my php server, like I would expect -
however, the value of mylist is sent empty, even though it has data.
- I have even put in a javascript alert box just before the form is sent
to the server and can see the result in my (unhidden) box, and the same
value displayed in the javascript alert - but again, the value of the
mylist does not get sent to the server.
The only difference is that my hidden field (even if its displayed like
an ordinary text input box) does not post data written to form fields as
the result of a javascript function. Interestingly though, the server
does know about the input tag box since it does receive
$_POST['mylist'], it justs receives it empty.
What gives? If the form reads my input from one field, and writes it to
another field, then it should be sent to the server, true?
Also... my tags are all inside my <form></form> tag (which is proven by
double checking, and the fact that I do get the input tag box name sent
to my server).
Since I can see the data values in the box, it tells me my javascript is
doing what it should be doing - so I don't see any point in including my
javascript (though I have no problems doing so if someone requests
it). On the php server, I am using a simple phpinfo(); to check the
data is being received...

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
"<input type="text" id='IsChanged' value=Ɔ'>"
Everything is working as expected (the value is reset to Ɔ' when I
push the reset button) Why does this happen?

i have a page with lots of checkboxes and hidden fields. When i tick a checkbox i want it to give the hidden filed a value. But give it no value if it is not ticked. For every checkbox i have a hidden field is with it. Both the checkbox and the hidden field send information. I have used some js scripts but they don't seem to work with more than one checkbox.Example:
<input type="checkbox" name="box1" id="box1" value="4th July 2009,">
<input type="hidden" name="price1" id="price1" value="0">
So when box1 is ticked it then gives price1 a value. But if not ticked then the value remains at 0. I want it to give a value of 699.There will be about 100 checkboxes and hidden fields on the page. Also onclick behaviours do not work because it may still send the information if the checkbox is not checked.So for the next checkbox and hidden field i use box2 and price2.

I have a sql/recordset setup that returns an id number and description.
For example:
4test
7test44
9test123
I then have a drop down list that contains the id numbers. I'd like the recordset to return the matching record for whatever is selected in the drop down list. So if the drop down list equals "4". Then "test" would appear in the value of a hidden form field. If "9" was selected in the combo box then "test123" would be entered into the hidden form field. I'm not sure how to specify the value from the drop down list in my sql statement and also do not know how to update the value when the user changes the drop down list selection.

[URL]. Users fill in a form which has items of furniture, so they enter a number next to each item of furniture. The HTML uses text fields. When the form is submitted, the form is submitted to a php script that emails the results to myself. I am trying to also have a javascript function which runs before the php script runs. This javascript works out the cubic footage of all the items. If a user put "3" in the sofa text field, and I have defined that a sofa is 45 cubic feet, then the javascript will multiply 3 * 45. It will do a similar thing for all items of furniture, then add them all up to give a total cubic feet. I want that total field to then sent as a variable to the php script, along with all the other variables.
My code so far (which doesn't work)
<script language="JavaScript">
function calculate(){
var sofa_3_seater = document.getElementById('sofa_3_seater').value*45;
var sofa_2_seater = document.getElementByID('sofa_2_seater').value*30;
var armchair_large = document.getElementByID('armchair_large').value*15;
var total=sofa_3_seater+sofa_2_seater+armchair_large;
document.getElementByID('total').value = total;
}</script>
I have used a hidden field for the total value:
<input type="hidden" name="total" value="">
I want the javascript result to change the value of the hidden field that is called total. Then I want it all to be posted to the PHP script and email everything to me, including this newly calculated total field!

Code:
var $id = new Array();
$('#gallery li').children(':input').each( function() {
$id = $('#gallery li').children(':input').val();
console.log($id);
There are 4 li items as above and I want the value from each hidden input field. At the moment I am getting 4 identical values, 1, 1 ,1 and 1.Does anyone know how to get them and what I am doing wrong. I really need them in an array. It's probably simple but I've just been looking at it for too long
