HTML - Catch User Input And Assign To Javascript Variable

Dear expert (Ok, i am new to this and should maybe not address this as a letter )

I hope someone can help me ... this is what i want to achieve (I am using frontpage)

I want to create a table (this i can do!) that require a user input (number of guests).

It then has SEVERAL options:

- Select an option from a drop down list, and a price is then loaded from somewhere to create a total for that option and display it in the table (And keep that total for adding later)

- Check a box, and if checked it creates a further calculation, displaying and storing the number for further calculation.

a number of the above options, and a grand total on the bottom.

I found more or less a page on a site that does what i am looking for, but after looking at the code, i have even LESS of an idea how it works

Can someone PLEASE help me, or point me in the right direction?

(I am not looking for someone to just write the code for me, as this will not teach me anything, and i want to learn)

Below is a link to the example ..

Thank you!

Hello all! This is my first post here and after getting little to no help from Yahoo answers I decided to go where the pros are. I want to thank everybody in advance for taking the time to read my question and offer any help. I also want to say that I am not looking for somebody to do the work for me...just point me in the right direction to get started on figuring it out myself.
You know...give a man a fish....blah blah blah.

Now for my question:
I am building a simple HTML template for a friend to use on an auction site. My friend has absolutely no idea of how to edit HTML so to make it easier for her, I want to add forms that will allow her to input her information (item description, shipping and payment terms) and have it applied to the template in the correct place.

I had already received a snippet of code from a helpful fellow that will turn anything typed into the fields into HTML for her to copy and paste. The problem with it though is that it has no format and I cannot figure how to get it to display the code inside of the template I made.

I did a little tweaking of what I had to get the basic setup of the forms and such, but cannot figure out how to place the information from each textarea into the template.

I have done a few hours of research trying to find the answer, but keep coming up empty handed because I have no idea where to even start looking for the answer. Can it be done with HTML or will I have to use another language? (This will be done from her computer so from my understanding php and any other server side stuff will not work.)

The code I'm wanting to use (if possible) is attached as "Formcode.txt". The template I want to use it in is attached as "Template v1.3.txt". The forms do not necessarily need to be placed at those locations but the output needs to be there.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to help!

BTW, I know that there are tons of free WYSIWYG editors out there that she could download and use but this has bugged me to the point that I have to find the solution.

This should be so simple task but no. How can I pass input field value to the function?

What I read from the input field, as soon as I press the "Save results" the value of the input field should be passed within the function. All I can do is puit 'stuffhere' and it works but simply can not manage to retriveve the input data!

<form name="inputData">
<input type="text" name="userName" size="32"/><br />
<a href="#" OnClick="SetText('resultHandler','Username',' stuffhere ');SendMessageToTheObject('resultHandler','saveResult');return true;"><font color="red">[Save result]</font></a>
</form>

I have this script:

HTML Code:

<script>
function upload()
{
	document.getElementById("filebox").style.visibility='visible';
	document.getElementById("namebox").style.visibility='hidden';
	document.getElementById("newfile").value='1';
}
</script>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table>
<tr><td>Bestand:</td><td colspan="2">
	<input type="hidden" id="newfile" name="newfile" value="0" />
<span id="filebox" style="visibility:hidden;">
	<input type="file" name="uploadedfile" style="width:300px;" />
</span>
<span id="namebox">
	<input name="filename" type="input" style="width:300px;" value="<?php echo $row['bestand'] ?>" DISABLED="DISABLED" />
	<a href="javascript:upload()">New File</a>
</span>
</td></tr>


...more form...


</table>
</form>

My problem is now that the ''filebox" and "namebox" are not at the same place.
I want that if a use presses 'New File' the "namebox" is hidde and ''filebox" appears at exact the same place as "namebox" was.
how to do this?

Why is this not working? (when i search hiscores it works, but not Google)

HELP!!!

Hey, I'm trying to pass a variable from some HTML code to JavaScript and I'm having some trouble. For example:

HTML Code:

<form name ="columnList" onchange="submitForm(this);">
        Column: <c:forEach var="columnitem" items="${columns}">
                    <c:if test="${columnitem.name != this.document.columnList.name}">
                        <input type="checkbox" name="selectedColumns" id="${columnitem.name}" value="${columnitem.name}">${columnitem.name} </input>
                        <script type="text/javascript" language ="JavaScript">
                            var col = document.columnList.columnitem.name;
                            setColumns(col);
                        </script>
                    </c:if>
                </c:forEach>

I'm trying to get the columnitem name from the HTML portion to the script. And I know that columnitem.name works for the check boxes. Can anyone help me out?

I'm trying to create a page that refreshes a frame at a random interval - I've used Javascript to come up with that random interval (minimum of 5, max of 10), but the page refreshes using a meta tag in the head. I'm obviously not getting any results - help anyone? Following is the code:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
   var now = new Date();
   var secs = now.getSeconds();
   var raw_random_number = Math.random(secs);
   var random_number = Math.round(raw_random_number * (5)+5);

Okay. I use a javascript that detects the browser and if it is Internet Explorer it sets IE=true;. Later I need to check wether it's true or false, but the problem is that the rest of the site is html. So my question is, how do I detect in html wether a javascript variable is true or false?

I really need some help on this one.

Hi all,

sorry I am pretty new with this so I hope I can explain what it is I am trying to do here.

I've recently been tasked with creating a 'note taking' html template at work, to assist with note taking for operators in a call center. I was selected due to nobody else having any understanding of how computers work beyond using microsoft office, go figure : /

Anyway. Basically what I am trying to do is be able to create a basic htlm template which has a text box, and some 'radio' buttons and check boxes which assign text when selected.

Example, we take down notes when clients call up and speak with someone. We would have say 2 check boxes to cover things like "Full name of client confirmed, confirmed clients details". If the phone operator clicked these 2 buttons, it would copy that exact text into the text box. If they clicked one, it would only copy that.

There would also be a 'radio' button, "Transferred client directly to desired party, transferred client to extension without employee contact" would be the options for example. Basically only 1 option can be selected, and that option would populate the text box if selected.

I'm also looking at hwo to create a button with a 'reset' feature to basically wipe everything clean so it can be started over once the operator takes another call.

So far I am able to create a form with the text box and buttons, but I don't know what code I need to look at to assign text to those buttons.

It's an easy idea, just need to get my foot in the door as I haven't really touched html since I was finishing high school year ago. Anyone able to assist, i would imagine it's not as difficult as I am makign it out to be

Ok so here is my issue, i am new to web site design and i have a simple project i would like to work on.
I am looking to have an entry box with a simple submit button, then i would like the submissions to be displayed below in the order they are submitted. I would also like to limit the number of submissions that show on the page at a given time by creating multiple pages that can be viewed.
This seems like a very simple issue but im having trouble finding solutions on the web. Would inserting a java app or some other secondary tool be better?

Any help is appreciated

-Matt
