Write Some XML Out So That It Is The Value Of A Hidden Field ?
Apr 9, 2009
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 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.
Let me preface this with the usual disclaimer: I am new to this and have only been programming with Javascript, PHP for about 2 weeks now and have been lucky enough to have resolved the issues I have encountered. This one however is puzzling to me.
I have a HTML form created that collects member information. It calls, on submit, a confirmation page that lists all the data fields entered. This all works great. However, when I then post the variables from the first html form page from my second confirmation html page to my PHP script, using document.write with input type=hidden and inserting the address variable into the value field, the Javascript only passes this variable up to the first space. It is the only variable I pass that has a space in it.
I have verified that the variable does indeed contain the whole address and I have also verified when I execute the following: document.write ('<input type="hidden" name="address1" value='+address_1+'>');
the address_1 parameter passed to the php script only passes the string up to the first space.
I even tried to put fixed text in there instead of a variable (e.g.)
I can't seem to get an alert to show me anything. The eventual result is not an alert, but a document.write to post the url contents to various form fields for firstname= and lastname= etc.
I am really having a hard time using the document.write function, and am not sure how to employ it, whether in the same script statement or in a separate script in the body.
this is my first thread here, but I've read your forum a lot as unregistered user. I've searched the web for a complete Javascript or some hint, but I didn't find an interesting script or article to implement what I've thought. There's a way to write text or number from the keyboard directly in a:
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 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 am a newbie in this field and never have done any scripting as i dont belong to this field.Just now trying to learn html and javascript. I have written a very simple HTML code having a table containing some columns like market,account number,user id,racf id etc. Below given is my code:
Code: <html> <head> <title>E 1.3</title> <h3> Information regarding various markets is given below</h3> </head> <body ALINK="#FF0000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#FF33FF" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> <table border="1" bgcolor="#CCFFCC" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5"> <thead> [Code]...
This code i completely html but i am posting here in javascript forum because i need a javascript function which can be embedded in this html code so that the columns account number and and user id become editable. Means: this code is not complete as of now.In account number and user id column i can enter at the max three strings for every market.The whole page will be static only except the account number and user id field in the table.My question is how to make this particular column editable.Means i need to have two buttons.Clicking first button makes the field editable and i can edit the column and when i click the other button eg:save or something then the cuesor automatically goes away and the page becomes uneditable until i click the first button.
I was wondering if there was a way to dynamically read a field input and respond to it later in the form. My situation is this: I have a question that asks how many workers are employed at a business. Later in the form, the user is asked to add as many workers as they have (section with information on each worker) ..Is there a way I can have something echoed or document.write above the latter section saying "Please add (Number of workers listed above) sections for each worker employed"
I want to have a window pop up with a form. When the form is submitted, it needs to pass along the URL of the original window. If find on th web eight gazillion descriptions of how to pass data from one page to another via hidden fields, but not a word about how to pass that data a second time. Code:
I have the following hidden field within a form:<input type="hidden" name="test12" value="test12" />I also have the following function which does something if that field exists:
have a javascript in which i am trying to assign the value to a hiden field and getting the below msg'document.Form1.H_ROWID' is null or not an objecti am getting the value in the alert box but not able to assign it o teh control alert("row " +M_ROWID)document.Form1.H_ROWID.value = M_ROWID
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 have been trying to write a script that allows a user to click on a button like a plus sign to add an additional field for a phone number when they have more than one phone number to enter. I have created a script that sort of does this. It doubles up what is already there, so, the first time, everything is fine, but after that I get a lot more fields than I want. I am a php programmer and not familiar enough with javascript to get to what I want. My script is included below. What I am doing here is retrieving the html content and then adding it to what is already there. In php I would use an if conditional test to see if the data has been retrieved.
The first time it would retrieve the data into a variable. After that it would not retrieve it. I think I am getting into some scope and sequence issues here. Javascript is a bit different than php in these regards. Also there is a commented line in the code that asks another question about the use of variables that I don't understand. I also tried using appendChild() here to no avail. I couldn't get that to work at all.
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
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:
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 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.
