Get The Content As A String Of A Text Field And Use That In My Function?
Nov 27, 2011
so I have a widget that will let you get alerts texted to a phone. I am trying to store the info, but I can't get the user's input into my javascript function shown below:
How can I get the content as a string of a text field and use that in my function? Like I said, this is probably a relatively easy question for most, but I cannot figure it out :/
How to check that a text field is a string not a number with javascript? Therefore,if the field is a number then I want to display a message that contain "You must enter a string". var str = champ.value; if (!(isNaN(str))) { alert("Vous avez saisi un nombre"); I tried the previous code but it does not work.
I am trying to find a way to get more than one characters pasted on html text field (input type=text), using onkeydown or onkeypress, I am NOT interested in onkeyup(it works), so please do not suggest me this solution. Also I am not interested in Jquery, I do not like to use it. I need solution to work with all browsers.
I am able to do that if you type one character, by taking the character of the event, but till now I am unable to get group of characters come from the paste (ctrl+V) or by mouse.You can look at Facebook search menu that shows auto complete results, it works on events: onkeydown and onkeypress and you notice that you get the result before you release your finger, try to paste something (more than one character) and you get the result before releasing finger, how? Onkeypress and onkeydown do not show first thing you paste or type because they happen before the text being added to text field.
Code:
<input type="text" id="targetTextField" onkeydown="CapturePastedString(this.id)" /> <script> function CapturePastedString(id){ var targetTextField=document.getElementById(id); // below I need to capture the pasted string like: var pasted_string= function(){.....} targetTextField.value=pasted_string; } </script>
I have an application that navigates through the links in a document, most of which are "javascript:doThisFunction(args)" type of links. Using DOM navigation I can find the reference to the javascript function and store it as a String variable, but is there a way to execute the function? Currently the only way I know how to do it is in a series of if/else statements as in:
if (link=="doThisFunction(args)") doThisFunction(args); else if (link=="doThatFunction(moreArgs)") doThatFunction(moreArgs); ... etc.
I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right
I would like to call a function when the user either clicks out or tabs out of a field. I'm trying to update text on the page based on what the user has entered into the field. Is this possible?
I want to run a function when text is typed into an input field. So every time 1 character is put in it will process a function. However I do not know how to accomplish this. I tried the onchange attributed but that seems to only work when you unselect the input field.
how this might be accomplished? I'm also comfortable with jQuery if you think that's a better option.
I've got an image for the Name & Email field in a form I've made. On click, I've got the images fade out, and replaced with the text field. The problem I have, is having the cursor go in the text field. I know it works if the text field was there when I click on it, but because clicking causes an event to put it in, it does't act like I clicked on the text field. So what I'm looking to do is at the end of the replaceWith(#name_field), I want it to simulate a click so that the cursor would automatically be in there.
Here is my js... $("#name_img").click -> $(this).fadeOut("slow").replaceWith $("#name_form") $("#name_form").fadeIn "slow"
How can I track what is written to an input field on the fly(event that is not "click" "hover" etc but something like "track" or "observe")?Lets say I have a js object like this:
var array1 = {id1: 'keyword', id2: 'execute', id3: 'go'};
And this $('#addT2').click(function() { $.blockUI({ theme: true, // true to enable jQuery UI support draggable: true, // draggable option is only supported when jquery UI script is included title: 'This is your title', // only used when theme == true message: $('#loginForm2'), css: { width: '275px' } });}); $('#yes2').click( function() { var ITNO= document.getElementById("ITNO2"); var ITNM= document.getElementById("Repdate"); var Des= document.getElementById("Quant2"); var Cat= document.getElementById("Vend"); var Quant= document.getElementById("RecByt"); var r=confirm("Are You Sure");if (r==true) { var ITNO1=ITNO.value;var ITNM1=ITNM.value var Des1= Des.value; var Cat1= Cat.value; var Quant1= Quant.value; // unblock when remote call returns $.unblockUI(); } //return false; }); $('#no2').click(function() { $.unblockUI(); return false; });}); How if I want to add a datapicker() inside one of these text fields ?
I have one long text field in HTML to feed text as input in my page. the entered text will be shown as output text after some operations.In this context, i need to display few text(say 200 chars) only and i need to provide READMORE link/button which would show me the complete content of that text field. I need to achieve this shortly!
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 am trying to create a javascript form validation that will make a text field be required only if a previous text field is populated. If the first text field is blank, then the second field can be blank as well.
I'm developing a web page. It includes 2 text boxes. One text box for city and another text box for std code. I wrote the code for auto suggestion to city. Now i want to pre populate the STD code when ever a known city is selected (when city is selected from the recommendations displayed for city field).
I am trying to make some dynamic effect to a HTML page using JQuery.<br/> 1.<br/> When the user clicks a Radio field, the field will be highlighted.<br/> 2.<br/> When the user clicks the Radio 'Man', <br/>a Input text box will be provided immeditely just below it.
Here is my simple HTML page, but I don't know how to do with the JQuery part:
I have previously developed two scripts, both of which work really well, however I want to amalgimate them together if possible? My first script loads the content specified into a single div, replacing the content depending on which function is called, it also displays a loading gif during a timeout of 2 seconds. Here is the page:
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.
I have a <div> html element which contains other html tags, as well as plain text inside those tags. How do I grab only the content within the div that will actually be displayed in the browser, and put it in a Javascript string variable?
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.
Well, I need some light in this simple thing I'm trying to do. I'm using the XMLHttpRequest to retrieve some data from a db via php script. The result is passed to a "results" array of strings, which contain the data from the script.
But, the data from the script, which are the content of the strings, have html tags in it. The thing is: I'm using the DOM to append the string result to a table already built in the page (using create_element and appendchild).
I would like to find some direction or help to solve an issue I have.I would like to find a way to search for a string of content on my webpage and return the string, or at least part of the string into the URL...Example of the content on my page:-----Welcome, John Adams Log OutWelcome to your own content, based on your settings provided. Feel free to download the content you need.Fairly straightforward. Now I would like to create a function that will look at the page and "copy" the string of content beginning with "welcome" and ending with "out"Next, I would like to remove the "welcome," and "log out" and have the name remain.Then, post the name into the URL to be passed onto the next page for me to use as more ersonalization/dynamically driven content; Such as:
I was just wondering how to go about checking the content of a string to see if it matches a set criteria?
For example, if I want to make sure somebody enters a date as mm/yyyy, how do I check to ensure there are:
2 numbers between 1 and 12 before the /.4 numbers between 2005 and 2020 after the /.And that the / appears between the two. I know in PHP you would use a regular expression, but how do you do it in Javascript?
