JavaScript - Trigger An Onchange Event On Page Load?
Hello,
I have this onchange event that occurs after user selection of a dropdown menu. When a user makes a selection it queries the database and delivers some data. The value of the dropdown is stored in a database, but the problem is when the page is refreshed the delivered data disapears, only reappearing if you change the dropdown. How can I make the onchange event run when the page loads so that if there is already a selection, the database data will always be there, only to change if the user changes the selection? Here is the JS: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function showCustomer(str)
{var xmlhttp;
if (str=="")
{document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
return;}
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
{if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;}}
xmlhttp.open("GET","getcustomer.asp?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();}
</script>
And the onchange line: Code: <SELECT Name=""customers"" id=""customers"" onchange=""showCustomer(this.value)""> Etc... Please ignore the double sets of quotes. Similar TutorialsHi All, I have a script that is called by the onchange event on my text field (it compares the date entered into the field and issues an alert if the date is earlier than the current date). This worked great on my data entry form but I also want to use the same script in my update form. In the update form the text field is already receiving a value via php: Code: <input name="DateNeeded" type="text" class="formField" id="DateNeeded" onchange="checkDate(this)" value="<?php echo $row_rstRequestDetails['DateNeeded']; ?>" /> and this is causing my onchange event to fire when the page is loaded. Is there a way to suppress the onchange event for the initial page load? Thanks, Ken First, I will state that I am totally inexperienced in JavaScript. I have a web site application written in VB.net and asp. The main page uses JavaScript to load a popup page that performs multiple tasks. The main page accepts a variety of incoming messages, only SOME of which need to be passed to this popup page for processing. I found an ugly way to pass the message to the popup by placing it in a Session variable. Now I need to cause it to be handled. I see two possibilities, and I do not have a clue how to implement either. Either one would be great: 1. In the main page, trigger a subroutine in the popup, using JavaScript. OR 2. In the popup, establish a trigger any time that Session variable changes. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Hi, I am trying to copy the value of one textbox to another using onchange event. For some reason, my code does not work, please let me know where I went wrong. here is my code: Code: <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function copyText()
{
document.getElementById("field2").value=document.getElementById("field1").value;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Field1: <input type="text" id="field1"/><br />
Field2: <input type="text" id="field2" onchange="copyText()"/>
</body>
</html>
Thank you. Hi I'm a newbie. Please help me. I'm using Joomla. I've got a dropdown which reads the filename from the database. When the user selects it I want an onchange event to open the pdf. I've been at it for 2 days now. Code: <?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("metnet", $con);
$sql="SELECT * FROM newsletter";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
echo "<form method='post'>";
$dropdown = "<select name='sname' onChange='location(this.form.sname)' >";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$dropdown .= "\r\n<option value='{$row['fpath']}'>{$row['fpath']}</option>";
}
$dropdown .= "\r\n</select>";
echo $dropdown;
?>
HI, i know very little about javascript, just enough to get me into trouble actually lol. Here is what im working with. I have a custom Instant messenger for members. It uses embed object macromedia as well as javascript to diplay the window and send messages. What i want to do is simply add an onchange that when one person is typing it shows they are typing (ie xxxxx is typing....) My experience is in php and html and i looked thru the script and the javascript functions but im not sure what im looking for exactly. Do i need to have access to the swf or fla file and be able to edit them to do this? I dont see any form inputs or i would know exactly where to put the onchange lol. Im guessing the input is in the swf or fla file not sure how that works. what im guessing is that in the embed or the object tags (ill play with it) i can put something like Code: document.write('test on change\n');
i think i need to wrap that in doc write script type=javascript in quotes so it parses. If i can get that text to show up inside the IM where i want it then i can try to figure out how to set focus on box and recongize onchange and do some testing. I think i might even be able to doc write the onchange command but not sure. Thanks Hi All, Need a bit of help here, need this SELECT to submit the page and end up at the below URL, correctly passing the GET values through the string. <code> <select name="dir-fact-misma" id="dir-fact-misma" class="text100" tabindex="" onChange="alta_nueva.action='alta.php?page=p2#alta'; return true;"> <option value="Si" <?php if(!isset($_POST['dir-fact-misma']) || $_POST['dir-fact-misma'] == 'Si') print "Selected='Selected '"; ?>>Si</option> <option value="No" <?php if(isset($_POST['dir-fact-misma']) && $_POST['dir-fact-misma'] == 'No') print "Selected='Selected '"; ?>>No</option> </select> </code> the form in which this SELECT is placed needs to be submitted so that other fields in the form are not lost, they are saved in Session Variables. the same javascript but activated through an onclick event works perfect elsewhere in the same form with the following code, i think its the onChange that doesn't work for some reason. <code> <input name="p1" type='submit' id="p1" onclick="alta_nueva.action='alta.php?page=p1#alta'; return true;" value='1' /> </code> the page is programmed in PHP. Any help is appreciated. I am trying to add an onchange event to a select tag. This is my code, but it does not appear to be working. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks...

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I would like to use some event handling on a form, not something I have done before and looking for some assistance. Here is my code: Code: <select name="LocO"> <option value=""></option> <option value="O">Outside</option> <option value="I">Inside</option> </select> <select name="LocA"> <option value=""></option> <option value="A">A</option> <option value="B">B</option> <option value="C">C</option> <option value="D">D</option> <option value="E">E</option> <option value="F">F</option> <option value="G">G</option> <option value="H">H</option> <option value="I">I</option> <option value="J">J</option> <option value="K">K</option> </select> <select name="Loc1"> <option value=""></option> <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> <option value="5">5</option> </select> So what I need to happen, is based on the selection of the first selection box, some of the options of the other selection boxes should not be available. If Outside is selected, everything in LocA should be available, but only up to 4 in Loc1... and if Inside is selected, only up to E should be available in LocA and everything should be available in Loc1. Is this possible? Hi All, I am really strugling with this and I hope somebody can help me on this. I would like to have a dropdown to only show when a certain value is chosen from another drop down. So if in this dropdown the value ETS Rep Discount is chosen he should show the other dropdown Code: <div class="row"> <div class="fieldName">Discount Type</div> <div class="fieldValue"> <asp:DropDownList ID="discountTypeDropDownList" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Width="295px" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DiscountTypeDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged"> <asp:ListItem Value="<%$ AppSettings:DiscountType.General %>">General Discount</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="<%$ AppSettings:DiscountType.Golf %>">Golf Only Rep Discount</asp:ListItem> <asp:ListItem Value="<%$ AppSettings:DiscountType.ETS %>">ETS Rep Discount</asp:ListItem> </asp:DropDownList> </div> </div> Code: <div class="row"> <div class="fieldName">Category</div> <div class="fieldValue"> <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanelCategory" runat="server"> <ContentTemplate> <asp:DropDownList ID="CategoryDropDown" runat="server" Width="295px"> </asp:DropDownList> <asp:Label ID="CategoryRequiredLabel" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="Red" Visible="False">required!</asp:Label> </ContentTemplate> <Triggers> <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="discountTypeDropDownList" /> </Triggers> </asp:UpdatePanel> </div> </div> thanks in advance All, first post on the forum. I hope this is relatively simple. I've looked around for the answer, but I thin think the search terms (update onchange event) are a bit too common... Code: document.getElementById("tester").innerHTML= "hello";
document.getElementById("tester").onmouseover = "alert('hello')";
You see I'm trying to change an event like I'd change a property. The first will change the text to hello. I'd like the second to change the onmouseover event to display a hello world alert... but it doesn't seem to do anything. How can I change events? Jason Hi all, I want to reload an html page onChange event of dropdown list and retain the old values filled in the page. Plz help..... Hello, I am working on a CGI/Ajax application to interface with a database. I have the back-end Perl/CGI application working, so now it it is time to design the web interface and respective forms. So here goes, I am attempting to create dynamic list boxes, but I am unable to pass a value to the 'onChange' event. Here is my code (this is a proof of concept and highly stripped down): Code: <html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
var array = [ 'name', 'age', 'year'];
function init(sel_val){
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
document.write(i + " " + array[i] + "<br />");
}
for (var i = 0; i< array.length; i++){
document.product.id_type.options[i] = new Option(i + array[i], i);
}
}
function OnChange(sel_val) {
// for(i = document.product.id_style.length - 1; i > 0; i--)
// document.product.id_style.options[i] = null;
// document.product.id_style.options[0] = new Option("something else", 15);
alert("pressed" + " " + sel_val + "<br />");
}
</script>
<form name="product">
<select name="id_type" size="5" style="width: 150px;" onChange="OnChange()"></select>
<select name="id_style" size="5" style="width: 150px;" ></select>
</form>
<script>
init();
</script>
</body>
</html>
I'm well versed in Perl and Java but I am a JavaScript newbie, so go easy. I understand that sel_val is not being set, but I'm not sure how it should (or could) be set. I would like to use a hash instead of integer values for `i` document.product.id_type.options[i] = new Option(i + array[i], i); becomes document.product.id_type.options[i] = new Option(hash[key], key); Any thoughts, comments, criticisms, jokes are welcome. Thanks in advance for the assist. Hi, I have a form consisting of nine text fields (labelled 1-9) and nine radio buttons for each of the text fields. I want to enable the radio buttons when text is entered into the field corresponding to that particular radio button. Is there a way of achieving this using a JavaScript onChange event? Thank you in advance. Hello, I'm working on a quote generator and I'm running into an issue with onChange events not firing when a text field is dynamically populated via a child window. Here's my setup: I have 3 text boxes (quantity, price, markup) that are multiplied together in order to give the total of that product. Each text box has an onChange event [called calculator()] that calls an external javascript file, which handles the multiplication and instantly updates the total of that product. Up to this point, everything works fine - - when I manually edit any of the 3 inputs, the total updates correctly. However, my problem is that I now have the "price" text box being dynamically populated, and when it updates it is not firing the onChange event attached to it. The text box is being filled by way of launching a child window and running the following code within it: Code: function call_submit()
{
opener.document.quote_form.item_price_1.value=document.child.prods.options[document.child.prods.selectedIndex].id
self.close();
}
I've also tried to call the calculator function from within the child window, with no luck: Code: function call_submit()
{
opener.document.estimator_form.item_price_1.value=document.child.prods.options[document.child.prods.selectedIndex].id
calculator ()
self.close();
}
So, as of right now, the following is happening - - I launch the child window, I select the product to add to the quote, the child window closes and the price is correctly populates within the "price" text box, BUT the total stays at zero. If I manually edit any of the fields, it then catches back up and properly updates the total. Is their any way to fire the onChange event at the time when the text field is populated from the child window? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I just wrote an essay to discover it had logged me out and I lost everything. Grrrrrrr. Here goes again, simplified this time. I've got a sticky footer at the bottom of the page and a spry collapsible panel which expands to reveal content on mouse over. The problem I'm facing is that the page doesn't scroll down with it, only the scroll bar gets larger to accommodate for a manual scroll down. This is kind of useless because the user might not even realise that there's extra content there in the first place if it's not automatic. My question is, what's the best javascript code to use to automatically scroll the page down when the spry tab is opened and where would I insert it? I've tried all morning with no success so far! Thanks, Nick, I'm copy pasting this post this time round, I don't trust this website now Hello, On a simple form, there is a radio button group with two radio buttons, a text box, and a submit button. The first radio button is checked(selected) by default. The text box input has the onChange event handler so that if the text is changed, the second radio button will be checked(selected). The problem is the input radio name contains a hyphen that breaks the JavaScript and the name can not be changed. What is the correct syntax for referencing a hyphenated form input radio name in the onChange event? Here is the form that works correctly with no hyphen in the input radio name: Code: <form name="myFormGood" action="" onsubmit="return false;"> Good Form with no hyphen in radio button name<br> <input name="radio1" type="radio" value="4" checked> First Option<br> <input name="radio1" type="radio" value="5"> Second Option<br><br> Change the text to select the Second Option<br> <input type="text" name="text1" onChange="document.myFormGood.radio1[1].checked = 'true';" size="10" value=" "><br><br> <input type="button" name="submit" value="It Works!"> </form> Here is the form that breaks the JavaScript because it has a hyphen in the input radio name: Code: <form name="myFormBad" action="" onsubmit="return false;"> Bad Form with hyphen in radio button name breaks JavaScript<br> <input name="radio-1" type="radio" value="4" checked> First Option<br> <input name="radio-1" type="radio" value="5"> Second Option<br><br> Change the text to select the Second Option. Nothing Happens.<br> <input type="text" name="text1" onChange="document.myFormBad.radio-1[1].checked = 'true';" size="10" value=" "><br><br> <input type="button" name="submit" value="It Doesn't Work!"> </form> Hi all Is there a way to get the image(s) to load into the table after the page has loaded instead of the way I have it now? I have 4 tabs, but I would like the imgs in tabs 2,3,4 to load after page load. Example of how the tabs look. Code: <div class="tabbertab">
<h2>Australia_____</h2>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<caption class="highlight_Red">澳洲 Australia

the other tabs look the same. LT This script displays a link to a registration/login form that loads in a light box for Joomla. I've been goin nuts trying to figure out how to get this to load on page load with a delay. Anyone know how to get this done? PHP Code: <?php JHTML::_('behavior.mootools'); $document = JFactory::getDocument(); $document->addStyleSheet(JURI::base() . 'media/system/css/modal.css'); $document->addScript(JURI::base() . 'media/system/js/modal.js'); $document->addScriptDeclaration("window.addEvent('domready', function() {SqueezeBox.initialize({});});"); $user = & JFactory::getUser(); $uri = JFactory::getURI(); $url = $uri->toString(); $return = base64_encode($url); ?> <div id="lbframeid" style="position:absolute;top:1px;left:1px;height:0px;width:0px;overflow:hidden"> <a href="http://www.wowjoomla.com/"><h1>Joomla Login LightBox powered by WowJoomla.com</h1> </a> </div> <?php if ($user->get('guest')) :?> <a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_loginbox')?>" onclick="SqueezeBox.fromElement(this); return false;" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 660, y: 500}}"><?php echo JText::_('SIGNUP_LOGIN')?></a> <?php else: ?> <?php echo JText::sprintf( 'HINAME', $user->get('name') ); ?> <br> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="LB_onLogout(); return false;"><?php echo JText::_('LOGOUT')?></a> <?php endif; ?> <script type="text/javascript"> function LB_onLogout() { var form = new Element('form'); form.setProperty('method', 'POST'); form.setProperty('target', '_self'); form.setProperty('action', 'index.php'); var input = new Element('input'); input.setProperty('type', 'hidden'); input.setProperty('name', 'option'); input.setProperty('value', 'com_user'); form.appendChild(input); var input = new Element('input'); input.setProperty('type', 'hidden'); input.setProperty('name', 'task'); input.setProperty('value', 'logout'); form.appendChild(input); var input = new Element('input'); input.setProperty('type', 'hidden'); input.setProperty('name', 'return'); input.setProperty('value', '<?php echo $return; ?>'); form.appendChild(input); $E('body').appendChild(form); form.submit(); } </script> I've done extensive searching, but each example or explanation i come across is too different from my own, so it's ultimately no use. The problem is that I barely know anything when it comes to Javascript, but yet I'm trying to use it. I have a form on a page. This form contains 6 <select> elements, each with its own <option>Other</option> element. If something isn't listed, the user can choose "Other" and then type into a textbox which appears. I have the following code, which works great if only applied to one <select> element. Code: <select name="How did you hear about us?" id="How did you hear about us?" onchange="makeBox1()">
<option value="0" selected="selected">-- Select --</option>
<option value="1">Search Engine</option>
<option value="2">Referral</option>
<option value="3">Trade Publication</option>
<option value="4">Vendor Web Site</option>
<option value="5">Your Company Website</option>
<option value="6">Direct Mail</option>
<option value="7">Other</option>
</select>
<div id = "inputBox1"></div>
<script type = "text/javascript">
function makeBox1() {
var a = "<input type = 'text' name = 'box1' id = 'box1' class='form popup'>"
if (document.getElementById("How did you hear about us?").value==7) {
document.getElementById("inputBox1").innerHTML = a;
}
else {
document.getElementById("inputBox1").innerHTML = "";
}
}
</script>
I've read that you have to combine onchange events, but i have no idea how to do this (i've done plenty of trial and error, trying to make every item unique, but to no avail. How would i add more scripts like the above? here is all my code for _form.php PHP Code: <?php use_stylesheets_for_form($form) ?> <?php use_javascripts_for_form($form) ?> <html> <head> <script type="text/JavaScript"> function refreshPage(value) { [COLOR="Red"]//need to test here id user selects from the dropdown "zed-catcher" i must display on the page the following: [/COLOR] if ($row->getName() == "zed-catcher") { echo $form['service_code']->renderLabel(); echo $form['service_code']->renderError(); echo $form['service_code']; } [COLOR="Red"]///so the code above is not right...dont know how to code this in java script[/COLOR] window.location.reload(); } </script> </head> </html> <body> <form action="<?php echo url_for('adminservice/'.($form->getObject()->isNew() ?
