I found some simple code to get a better understanding of validating checkboxes. It validates the checkboxs by their name. Is it possible to validate the checkboxes with the same name but different values? The name of the checkboxes will be an array containing the values of the checkboxes selected.
I have my html like so: <input type="checkbox" name="stuff[]" value="1" onClick="countChoices(this)"> <input type="checkbox" name="stuff[]" value="2" onClick="countChoices(this)"> <input type="checkbox" name="stuff[]" value="3" onClick="countChoices(this)">
And the javascript where I edited "box1=", "box2=", "box3=" is like so: function countChoices(obj) { max = 2;
I have some checkboxes in a form that I'd like to validate (check to ensure that at least one has been ticked): HTML Code: <input type="checkbox" name="response[]" value="answer1" />answer1 <input type="checkbox" name="response[]" value="answer2" />answer2 <input type="checkbox" name="response[]" value="answer3" />answer3 <input type="checkbox" name="response[]" value="answer4" />answer4
The javascript below only works if I change my checkbox names to name="response" rather than name="response[]". Code: function validateform(){ var success = false; for (i = 0; i < document.surveyform.response.length; i++){ if (document.surveyform.response[i].checked){ success = true; }} return success; }
I need to pass along multiple checkbox responses to my PHP script and therefore need to keep checkboxes named name="response[]". When I do this, I get the error "document.surveyform.response has no properties" What change I can make to the javascript so that I can name my checkboxes name="responses[]" ?
I have two arrays that are tied together Ink1Data[][InkID] and Ink1Data[][Ink1Desc]. I also have this Javascript code to validate it: var chksink1 = document.getElementsByName("Ink1Data[][InkID]"); for (var i = 0; i < chksink1.length; i++) { switch (chksink1[i]) { case (chksink1.value=1); var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]"; if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in a trim size.")==false) {i1Desc.focus();return false;} break; case (chksink1.value=2); var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]"; if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in folding instructions.")==false) {i1Desc.focus();return false;} break; case (chksink1.value=3); var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]"; if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in scoring instructions.")==false) {i1Desc.focus();return false;} break; }} Basically, I want to count how many are in the array (will be the same number for both) and then depending on the value of the first array, validate the second and kick an appropriate error if necessary. It should be pretty easy, but I can't seem to get the code to work.
[code]I have created an array of cars so if personA has more cars, they can click add and select another one. If they have 1 car and just enter name and 1 car, the form works but when I click Add row and select another car, it doesnt work?
In our ordering system, we have to type in various values for several items at a time. This means in one single form, for one order, we could be typing in a batch number 4 or 5 times. I can valiadate this easy enough with Javascript when there is only 1 line. But what if there is more than 1?
With PHP you add [] to the end of the form element's name. But how do I get javascript to work with this?
Code:
Basically, the batch number, expiry date and pallet/box number is mandetory. If they arn't entered, it needs to fail (return false). It doesn't seem to be doing anything, just moving on to the next part which is checking other parts of the form which isn't repeated.
I need to be able to get all my checkboxes which are in an array and which have the name:
name="personselected[]"
to be all checked when a button or link is clicked.
I have looked around and can only find examples of where the checkboxes are not in arrays. The closet I have found to what I need is below but it won't work due to my checkboxes being an array.
Code:
function checkAll(field) { for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) field[i].checked = true;
All are the same except the value is set differently for each one. The reason for the [] is so I can access the checkbox values as an array on the processing page (when clicking 'Submit');
However, I want my Javascript code to examine these objects first. My onclick event handler function (below) is called (I get the 'hi there' popup), but it does nothing afterward (i.e., neither 'checkbox' alert appears, and the handler, strangely, seems to return 'true').
I suppose my problem is that I am not specifying the checkbox array properly. I tried several variations, but I've been working on this problem alone for several hours and am getting nowhere. Code:
I've searched on the form and found answers but I cant get it fix for me. want to make a form with multiple rows with checkboxes. Firt I did it in PHP and it worked but I want to use Jquery. How can I get the checked checkboxes to a string?It thought it would be something like this (found it on this site):
var test = $(':checkbox').map(function() { return this.id; }).get().join(',');
Is there any option not to use an array in counting the checks on checkboxes? Code will be integrated into an ORACLE database. I'm trying to catch up same output as stated below;but whenever i integrate it to Oracle database it doesnt work. I am a beginner in PHP programming.
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function countCheckboxes ( ) { var form = document.getElementById('testForm'); var count = 0;
I have a pretty simple survey form, with 5 checkbox answers, one of them being "None of the Above". All 5 are part of the same question1[] array. My goal is to have a function that unchecks the other 4 boxes when None of the Above is checked. The problem is that since None of the Above is part of the question1 array, it unchecks itself. So how do I separate this None of the Above option? After all, it is still a valid answer to question 1, so I don't want it to sit in a different array just because...
Here's what I have now: Java: function SetValues(Form, CheckBox, Value){ var objCheckBoxes = document.forms[Form].elements[CheckBox]; var countCheckBoxes = objCheckBoxes.length; for(var i = 0; i < countCheckBoxes; i++) objCheckBoxes[i].checked = Value; }
So that I can pass multiple checkbox values to my PHP processing script as an array I added the square brackets to my form's checkbox input element's name, like this: <input type="checkbox" name="checkGroup[]" value="'.$rowIDs.'" /> Because it has to match, I updated the input element I use to check/uncheck all the checkboxes so that it now looks like this: <input type="checkbox" name="all" onClick="checkAll(document.ResIDsDates.checkGroup[],this)" />
When I manually select multiple checkboxes I can successfully pass any number of checkbox values through the POST array to my process script...but my Check/Uncheck All box has ceased working -- adding the square brackets to the checkbox input's name disabled it.
I tried playing with the ASCII equivalents to the brackets, but no go. Is there a way to retain the array functionality and pass multiple checkbox values to the script AND enable the Check/Uncheck All box?
I am using a validating form plug in for jquery and I have a question about it. Let this function will be an ex.:
[Code]....
'e' is the name attribute of one form element, but can I choose more elements using jquery (CSS) rules like this: input[name*=e] or how can I do something similar?
I have a working example of jQuery validate working in the link below. The newsletter checkbox is required and working. However, the "colors" checkboxes are all named as an array ( ex: name="color[]" ), and so the problem lies in the validation code, where it uses the name of the element to require elements ( ex: newsletter: "required" ).
I have a very large form and have a couple of checkbox groups where multiple items can be selected. They are grouped as an array of checkboxes. When I post the checkbox groups, the PHP script receives duplicate values. If the group has 2 checkboxes, 4 values are posted. If it has 10 checkboxes, 20 values will be posted.
i.e:
I then submit everything to a PHP script via an Ajax call, then output the result to a div. (see below)
However, when my PHP script loops over the $_POST array, it seems that each checkbox array is duplicated, so my PHP array returns:
This happens with all my checkbox arrays, but not with an array of hidden fields for some reason.
I don't think this is a PHP problem, as it looped over everything correctly when submitting via a conventional POST. I checked the contents of $_POST, and it seems that the duplicates are being posted.
I have the HTML all laid out for what I'm trying to do. I want to have the user be able to select any 10 checkboxes, and keep a tally of how many are selected, and how many are left to go. Should I do this with jQuery?
Code HTML4Strict: Select any 10 cds for $20<br /> You have chosen $selected CD's<br /> You have $remaining CD's left</p>
The problem is when i will calculate if quantitiy/buyquantitiy is an integer. The reason is that some products can only be seld as 4 items, and if you press 3 wou should get a message that says "Sorry a quantity of 3 are not aviable because there are 4 items in package". Can transfer 2 varibales into the function? Or have anyone any suggestion how to solve this.
I am a newbie to javascript. I have an asp text box which I want to validate for the number of characters entered i.e. I dont want user to enter more than 280 characters in the text box.
I have a form generated from a Perl script. The number of check boxes on the form is unknown until the time the form is generated. The names of the check boxes are created from some values in the database, based upon other user input.......<crazy, I know>
The user must choose at least one check box.
So, how can I write a javascript routine that will perform checking on an unknown number of check boxes.
Can anyone explain why this code fails when the set of checkboxes consists of only one.
myForm.update.length returns 0 instead of 1 with the result that I get an alert box even tho' the one checkbox is checked.
function checkForm(myForm) { var numBoxes = 1*myForm.update.length || 0; for(i=0;i<numBoxes;i++) { if(myForm.update[i].checked == true) return true; } alert("Select one or more part components to update"); return false; }}
I have a requirement whereby I must validate that a string matches one of several patterns:
1. An ISO standard 2 character country code (eg GB, NL) followed by five digits.
2. An ISO standard 2 character country code (eg GB, NL) followed by an X followed by five digits.
3. 3 characters in the range a-z followed by 3 digits followed by 2 characters in a specific set (eg MT, AT, DA).
4. 4 characters followed by a hash (#) followed by 3 characters followed by 3 digits followed by a hash followed by 3 characters.
5. 4 characters followed by a hash (#) followed by 3 characters followed by 3 digits followed by a hash followed by 4 characters.
I have been told that a better way to achieve this than using .charAt is by using something called a regular expression, but I don't really understand them. Can anyone please advise on the above or alternatively point me in the direction of a suitable resource on these regular expression things?
