HTML - Text Box And Hidden Field Are Not Being Counted In Form's Elements
I have a form but a text field and a hidden field don't come in form elements.I am alerting all form elements in a javascript function which is invoked on press of a button and these two form elements don't come.
Any idea why that will happen. JS function which alerts the form elements is as follows :- function populateSubmitProfile() { var i =0; alert("Number of forms "+document.forms.length) ; for( i = 0 ; i < document.forms[0].elements.length ; i++) { alert("Name of the elements :"+document.forms[0].elements[i].name) ; } } Similar TutorialsHi all! I'm trying to pass an array as a hidden field from a form in the URL of the browser but it's not working. Can you tell me what is wrong with this...it's my first attempt so be gentle The form HTML is <form name="filter" action="http://www.myurl.com" method="get"> <input type="hidden" name="main_page" value="index" /> <input type="hidden" name="Flt_Grade[]" value="100" /> <select name="filter_id" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <option value="1">Most Popular</option> <option value="2" selected="selected">Price: Low to High</option> <option value="3">Price: High to Low</option> <option value="4">Title</option> <option value="6">Date Added: Newest</option> <option value="7">Date Added: Oldest</option> </select> </form> I would expect, when option 4 in the dropdown is selected the URL to be http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...00&filter_id=4 Where %5B = [ and %5D = ] But what I actually get is http://www.myurl.com&main_page=index...e=&filter_id=4 The Flt_Grade array is not passed properly. Can this be done so the hidden field is passed in the URL as an array? Thank you!

I just put this flash music player on one of the pages: http://www.flashmp3player.org/ The problem is the dropdown displays under the flash player. Another problem is, the script to display the player is not flash, it's javascript, so I can't add Code: <param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param> to push the flash player behind. Anyone know of a way to force the dropdown menu on top? Hi Guys I have a text input field in a form that has data in it from a previous entries. Is there something i can do that ensures the field is empty when the form is pulled up? Thanks everyone Ok so i've recently started html. Moving along, I'm reading a book on xhtml and its talking about hidden fields. Now I get the general idea of what it is used for, but how would it be implemented in a website? or at least can someone give me a better explanation than this one paragraph in this book. Also, I'm seeing foo a lot when talking about the name attribute...it came out of nowhere. Why are they naming stuff foo? I want to be able to use radio buttons on my form but I need the selected one to update 2 seperate fields in my database. I am attaching what I have tried, but didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated. Hiya, I can add a hidden like this to my form... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="197cm" /> But what if I want to change 197cm to 6' 5" - i.e., so it contains apostrophes and speech marks... Code: <input type="hidden" name="height" value="6' 5"" /> doesn't work due to the extra speech mark, so how do I solve? Thanks, James Hello, Just found out these forums, they are great! I have a small problem, but haven't find an answer yet. I'd like to have a text box in my webshop only diplayed if a customer selects a specific option. Please see the code below. The text box should remain hidden until a customer selects 'Color other'. Then the text box should appear, allowing the customer to enter the color he wishes. How can this be done? Many thanks for your help in advance!

I'm trying to do a simple online form that emails me the results from a few fields. Here is the code: Code: <form action="http://cm1web1/WebSurveyComponents/script/processform.asp" method="post"> <!-- Mandatory "hidden" objects --> <p> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" readonly value="Suggestion"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Name"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Email"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Business Unit"> <input type="hidden" name="intSendMode" readonly value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="strSendParms" readonly value="mark@website.com,CSPS Intranet Suggestion Box"> Name: <input type=text name="Name"> <br>(optional, but required if you would like a response to your comments or suggestions)</p> <p>Email: <input type=text name="Email"> <br>(optional) </p> <p>Business unit: <input type=text name="Business Unit"> <br>(optional) </p> <p> <textarea name="Suggestion" rows="12" cols="40">Write your feedback or suggestion here</textarea> <br> <br> <input name="Send" type="submit" value="Send"> <input name="Clear" type="reset" value="Clear"> </p> <p>(Unless you fill in your name and/or email, this form is completely anonymous)</p> </form> And the email I receive looks like this...

Any ideas? Thanks! Mark Hello, I have a code ( see below) with a while loop that gives me a table that shows on the right side after every entry a link 'EDIT' that sends the variabe id to the script 'editjoke.php'. while ($joke = mysql_fetch_array($jokes)) { $id = $joke['id']; $joketext = htmlspecialchars($joke['joketext']); echo "<td>$joketext</td>\n"; echo "<td ><a href='editjoke.php?id=$id'>Edit</a></ td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; Now I created a new code with the same idea but it should have on the left side 'radio-buttons' and on the left side only one EDIT-button. Two days ago I thought it works but now it seems so that the variable is not send to editjoke.php. Here is the code: <form action="editjoke.php" method="post"> ... ... while ($num = mysql_fetch_array($number)) { //echo "<tr valign='top'>\n"; $id = $num['id']; $Auskunft = htmlspecialchars($num['Auskunft']); //echo "<td>$Auskunft</td>\n"; <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" /> } </form> How do I have to change the code that the variable 'id' will be send to the script edithjoke.php? I created a form with html. At the end of the form there are two buttons, the button "entry", and the button "reset". When clicking on "entry" button i want to print the form's elements. How can i do it? Hi, I have a form that has a bunch of cascading drop downs - something like Country->State->City->. Each subsequent drop down is populated based on what is selected on the preceding one. What I am having trouble with is the positioning of the labels for these dropdowns. For ex., I want the word 'Country' written exactly above the Country dropdown, the word 'State' above the State dropdown and so on. Unfortunately, anything I try doesn't seem to work. I have used every CSS property I thought would help - margin, position, padding etc., but nothing works. The problem is when I resize the window the labels and the dropdowns are thrown out of whack and it becomes difficult to figure out just by looking which label belongs to which dropdown box. How do I fix this and align the form with their respective labels and make it independent of the size of the window? Thanks! can someone help me with a script basically i want an input box where u put ur name into. then u click submit then on the next page it displays what u just put in the input box...how do i do it? Hello, I'm trying to create a text field on my site, and I want that when a user enter his zip code, and then press enter, he will be directed to another website. But it doesn't work: <input type="text" name="zipcode" value="Enter your Zip Code" id="zip" maxlength="20" onclick="window.location.href='http://second.site.com'"> Thanks Steve Hi, I have a page that uses AJAX to set a variable, the variable is either true or false. On the page there is a form with a text input, i would like the variable to dictate whether the element is read only or not. So instead of: <input name="cd" value="title" readonly="readonly" /> I would rather something like: <input name="cd" value="title" readonly="$lock" /> Note: I am aware that $lock is PHP but I am not familiar with the syntax in this instance. Thanks in advance, Tom Hi: I would like the freedom to position <input> elements of a form to specific places on my page. What is the proper way to do that please ??
