Changing Hidden Field Value Based On Selected Option
Aug 25, 2009
how to Change a Hidden Fields Name based on selected option. The hidden fields name is sent off and I need to change the name depending on what option they select. For if they select MyList the hidden field name needs to be SelectLists[40] or if they select testlist the hidden field name needs to be SelectLists[41]. This is probably way, way off but I've done this and it doesn't work.
I have a html form with two drop down menu's. Now what i need is if some one selects a certain option in the first drop down menu then it will show the second one, Otherwise it stays hidden.
I'm taking a beginning javascript class and have been trying to figure out one last part of a homework assignment and am just not seeing how to work it out. What I'm having trouble with is doing the text verification. When a user selects an option from the select list they then need to type in the text area given. If the user doesn't type the word selected in the list then an error message should appear under the text area. If you look at my code you'll see that I have the text_check() function doing the verification. I can get it to work when there is only one option but once I add the other two it stops working. I've tried if... else and other variations, but can't seem to nail it down.
I have an options list that is generated from a database. It currently has ~125 options in it. I've received the request that the user be able to either enter the corresponding number or select the option from the list. How can I update the "selected" attribute in the options list based on a number that may be entered in another text entry box?
I've tried to find a stright forward script which show/hide specific form fields based on a selected option. I've seen many online but non of them was working with me without the need of some coding or tweeks. Does anyone here have such script?
<select id="price"> <option value="">Please select</option> <!-- show this if volvo --> <optgroup id="vol"> <option value="30000">30000</option> <option value="31000">31000</option> </optgroup> <!-- show this if audi --> <optgroup id="aud"> <option value="40000">40000</option> <option value="41000">41000</option> </optgroup> </select>
how to fix the coding so when a user select a category it will add a different hidden filed for that option for example:When the user selects category "Men" the hidden filed <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="REFERRER" VALUE="http://men.com/acatalog/"> will be added,and when the user selects category "Kids" the hidden filed <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="REFERRER" VALUE="http://kids.com/acatalog/"> will be added and so on...Here is my form coding I am using:
I'm new to JavaScript. I'm trying to create my form in such a way that if 'Premium' is selected, a the text box with label 'membership no' is displayed and if 'bronze' is select, the drop-down list 'sponsor' is displayed instead....here's what my form looks like...
I am working on bringing my existing website to the iphone/ipod using jqtouch and jquery.
I am stuck using the following code to change the value of a form's hidden field with the value of a clicked link. It works for the first two clicks then no matter what other link is clicked the form's hidden field value is changed to the value of the first or second clicked link?
Is there a more robust, reliable way of achieving my aim?
...$(document).ready(function(){ $('a[name]').click(function() { var str_id = $(this).attr("value"); $("#bookingperiod").val(str_id); }); });...<div class="info">Thu Jun 3rd 2010</div>
Is there some example js that shows how to populate a text field on a form, based upon what option is chosen in a select form field? The options can be hardcoded and it would be great to also have a default if js is off on the client side.code...
I am trying to create this form to update a field when a certain item is selected from a dropdown menu. I would like to have it to where when heat pump is selected from heating type, the AFUE field that originally has a value of 80 needs to be updated to 7.7. I would also like for the wording to be changed... Instead of having it say Current AFUE or HSPF, have it to where when a Single Speed Furnace or Variable Speed Furnace then it says AFUE below it, when Heat Pump is selected then it says HSPF, and if Electric Heat is selected do not have anything or even delete the whole field.
what i want to do is have a selection from 'tst' trigger an input into 'choose' from the data inputted into the 'fname' and 'lname' fields.
for example, i want option '1', when selected to draw the input from 'fname' and place it into 'choose'
or i might want to select the data in 'lname' instead, so i will tie option 2 to it, so when the user selects option 2 the contents of 'lname' go into 'choose' instead.
I have a form set up and I need to set the validation so if one option is selected from a picklist, they need to complete a text field as well.
This is the code i'm using:
Code:
Reason is a picklist, I want it to show the alert when option 1 from the picklist is selected and no text is in the Row_Number field.
If any of the other options are selected, I want to make sure the Row_Number field is blank.
As I said, I'm sure this is a very simple thing, but I been working on it for ages, and cannot get it to work, I get the alert every time the Row_Number field is blank.
I'd like to know if its possible to shift a select option field into a simple text field based on a check box filled by user.
I have an asp form that carries a few select options. One of them I'd like to permit free editing if the user selects a check box just biside the select option, so enableing free editing by user.
I'm using the following code to remove an option from a select control based on a selection in a different select control and the option text in the select option that is being removed. The code works as I want it to, but I would prefer to use the option value for identifying the option to remove instead of using the option text. I've tried several different ways to do this, but can not find the proper syntax.
Given the following input tag which is enclosed within a hidden div tag:<input id="X" class="Y"/> this call (id-based) locates the tag: $(this).find("#X")but this one doesn't (class-based)I couldn't find any documentation indicating find() working differently when using id-based vs class-based selectors.
I am trying to dynamically clear the value of a form input field and then submit the form.When I used $('#my_field').val('') to clear the field, it was cleared on the screen but when the form was submitted the original value of the input field was posted.My browser is FireFox and I can see using FireBug that when the field is cleared, firebug is still showing the html code with the old value. E.G. <input type="text" value="old_value" />The same situation occurred if I used $('#my_field').attr('value', '') to clear the field.The same situation occurred if I actually changed the value of the field rather than just clearing it.To work around this problem I ended up using the $('#my_field').removeAttr('value') to clear the field before it was submitted.

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.
I have a text field, call it income, that when the input is > 0 I need to dynamically show the next text box, and if it is blank hide the next text box. I would like to use onBlur but can't seem to get it to work.
