Change Form Input Text Using Dom?

Oct 22, 2009

how to add text to a hidden field in a HTML form. I want to add text from an array, the array holds the information for the caption placeholder for the images.

Basically i have an image viewer which lets you scroll through images and they have a text caption below them telling what the images are. When the user clicks an image this brings up the form and hides the imageViewer. I want the caption of the image clicked to automatically be entered into the hidden field of the form when a user decides to choose a particular photo, so that it sends this to the server script for processing.

At present i have the function
function insertText()
{
//getElementById('camera').value=getElementById("captionPlaceHolder");
document.getElementById('camera').value = document.getElementById('captionElement').value;
}
i have commented some out to try various things.

My form input box has an id="camera" and i was told to do something like this. Give the hidden element an id="someName"...then in the JS you can change the value of it by the usual way... getElementById('someName').value=??? where ??? is the name of the camera the user has

JQuery :: How To Change Text To Input

Jul 1, 2010

I wonder how to let a small text snippet change to an input box with as value the small text snippet when you just clicked on. When you click out, or press enter, the new text has to have the value of the input?There is a list of data from the database. I would like an input box to appear when users click on a list item (text) and the input box has the value of the list item and users are ofcourse be able to change this value. The value has to be 'selected'. When users click back outside the inputbox OR on another list item (where a new input box appear with value of that particular list item) OR press enter, the value of the input box has to be written to the database.

JQuery :: Text Input Change Event When Value Is Changed By JS

Dec 11, 2011

I've noticed that the change event isn't fired on a text input when it's value is changed by JavaScript. It fires just fine when I type in the input and then lose focus. Example:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#textinput").change(function(){
alert($(this).val());

[Code].....

I think have JavaScript which changes the value of the input dynamically.

JQuery :: Dynamic Input Type Change - Password To Text?

Aug 25, 2009

I am trying to setup a password input that fist shows: "Password". When the user selects it (or focuses on it), it clears and becomes a password input. If the person, clears the password and leaves focus (blurs), the word password appears again.I did some research on this first. There is this article that requires creation of two inputs (hide one, show the other). I also read this article.Without confusing everyone, I am trying to do this simple and in a smart way:HTML BODY

<input type="text" id="password" name="password" class="password" value="Password" />
jQuery Script
$(document).ready(function() {

Creating A Form That Will Change The Number Of Fields Based On User Input

Jan 4, 2006

I have a form that collects information about up to 5 items. I would
like the user to be able to select from a drop down menu how many items
for which they want to compare information, and then have the form
change the number of input fields accordingly.

In other words, if the user selects enter info for 3 items, then input
fields for only 3 items are shown, if they change it to 4 items, then a
fourth column shows up in the table with the appropriate input fields.

May 20, 2011

I downloaded this simple form which uses JS to limit the number of characters entered into the text input field by counting down from the maximum allowable number of characters (55) down to 0 as characters are being entered. I want to change the number being displayed from the default black to red. How can this be achieved?

<form name="mymind" style= "position:relative;left:40px;" action="insert_status.php" method="post">
<input name="limitedtextfield" type="text" onkeydown="limitText(this.form.limitedtextfield,this.form.countdown,55);"
