JavaScript - Count Elements (div) Inside A Form
Hi all
I have a form with one or more DIV elements inside it. When I try to count form elements I get result=0? How is this possible? See the example: Code: <html> <head> <script language="javascript"> function Count() { alert(document.frm1.elements.length); for(i=0; i<document.frm1.elements.length; i++) { alert(document.frm1.elements[i].name); } } </script> </head> <body> <form id="frm1" name="frm1"> <div id="div1" name="div1">.</div> </form> <input type="button" onclick="Count();" /> </body> </html> If I put other element (textbox) inside the form, the count result is correct. Is DIV not an element?! How can I count one or more DIV and inner DIV's? Thanks for your help. Z. Similar TutorialsI need to count how many elements of a certain class are visible. Its for a form and the error messages for the fields are hidden (by default) spans with the class 'errors'. I need my page to count how many of these elements are visible when the user clicks the submit button. Is this possible or should i try and attack it a new way? So never done this one before so I am having a bit of a time trying to figure this one out. Say I have a list of LI element and only a few of them have a inline style of display block, the rest have a display of none. How would I go about looping through and dertmining the number of elements that have a display of block? Code: for(var m = 0; m < li.style.display.length; i++) { alert(m); }; The above is just crazy but where my mind melts.. Forgive me, I come from a ColdFusion background and DOM manipulation is not one of my strongest assets. I am trying to dynamically create (and also delete) a row inside a table, which contains three cells that each have three form elements (a input box, a select drop-down box that is populated by a query to a database, and a textarea). Now all the JavaScript/jQuery examples I've seen for dynamically creating elements are very basic, nothing this complex. Could I get some help?! This is what I'm trying to dynamically create so that the user can add more options but also delete them. Would the jQuery clone() function be a good choice for this? Code: <tr> <td> <input type="text" id="rejectName" /> </td> <td> <select id="divSelectReason"> <option value="" selected="true">Enter Rejection Reason</option> <cfoutput query="queryReasonReturn"> <option>#codeAndReason#</option> </cfoutput> </select> </td> <td> <textarea id="editReason" cols="30"></textarea> </td> </tr> Now when a row is dynamically created I also have to access those values as well, so I would assume using a variable that counts each row created, and appends that iteration to the name of that particular element. Hello I've been struggling trying to get a small order form to work the way I want it to. Here is a link to the live page: http://www.watphotos.com/introductio...otography.html And here is the code in question: Code: <script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> $(document).ready(function(){ var initial = 0 var total = 0; var services = 0; function addServices() { initial = 150 total = initial services = 0; $("input:checked").each(function(){ value = $(this).attr("value"); services += parseInt(value); }); } $(function() { addServices(); total += services; $("form").before('<p class="price"></p>') $("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total); }); $("input:radio, input:checkbox").click(function () { addServices(); total += services $("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total); }); }); </script> I have two questions... Question 1 How can I make this piece of script act a little smarter. Look at the order form, I'm catering for up to 4 people and providing lunch for them. If they select 3 people and the spaghetti bol for lunch, it's only adding $10 where it should be adding $30. Obviously this is simple multiplication but since the values in my form are prices it makes it a little tricky. I'm guessing an onselect on the first part of the form which changes the pricing of the other items would be the way to go, but how do I do this? Question 2 The "Total Price" is placed before the <form> tag by the script. This is ok but it's not where I want it. How can I position this text elsewhere in the document? Thanks in advance! I'm using the jquery plugin found here. I love the look but I have a form that uses functions like this: Code: function cascadeCountry(value) { if (document.getElementById("srchlookstate_province") != null) { http.open('get', 'cascade_search.php?a=country&v=' + value ); document.getElementById('srchlookstate_province').innerHTML=" "+loadingTag; http.onreadystatechange = handleResponse; http.send(null); } } So, when you select a country and it retrieves the state/province text input, the jquery css is not applied to it. Is there something I need to add to the code above or to the jquery initialization code he Code: $(function() { $("form.jqtransform").jqTransform(); }); Hi all! I have a form which has some checkboxes and the name of every checkbox is email_(a counting number) . Lets say I have no access to the counting number because it is changed every time the page reloads. How can i create a script to return how many email_ checkboxes is in the form? Code: <script> // here i want a script to count how many checkboxes is in the form. // </script> <form> <script> counter = 2 // I dont have access to this number because it is changing every time I reload the page. for(i=0;i<counter;i++) { test.innerHTML += "<input type='checkbox' value='' name='email_"+i+"'>"; } </script> <div id="test"></div> </form> please help! I'm a long time lurker on here just barely created an account to ask this question. I work at a call center, and we use different webapps to fill out tickets. One I've used for a long time allows dynamically updating forms with javascript. I have a whole bunch of bookmarked javascript injections like: Code: javascript:if((top.detail.findObj('X31').value="Inquiry")!=""); That code will fill out most everything in that ticket, leaving me to fill in the details. I have one of those for all of the most common tickets, and can create and finish a ticket in less than 30 seconds when it takes others 3-4 minutes. I recently switched to a different system and I'm having trouble with my code. I'm a noob at javascript for sure, but I'm not new to programming. Anyway any pointers would be nice. The system we use doesn't allow me to see the source... I'm not sure how to explain it. It loads everything in a frame. In chrome I can right click then inspect element and get the ID but it the above javascript doesn't work. Examples: Old app source ex: Code: <label for="X31">Category:</label> was all i needed new app(before the body code is just code for the login form, etc): Code: <body onLoad="startit()" onUnload="stopit()"> </body> <div align="center" valign="center" id="LoadMessageID" style="position: relative; top:40%; color:#0069A5; font-size:100% ;"> <img src="/arsys/shared/images/Progress_NonModal-circle.gif" alt="wait image"/> Loading... </div> </html> formloader: Code: <form name="form1" action="/arsys/forms/bmcitsm/HPD:Incident+Management+Console/Default+User+View+(Support)/?cacheid=a22a36a8" method="post"> example of inspect element in chrome (something i want to change with javascript injection): Code: <input id="arid301602600" type="text" class="text " style="top:0; left:0; width:225; height:21;" readonly=""> Here is the code in question: Code: for (var x = 2; x < 6; x++) { var form = document.playerAction["action" + proNum]; form[x] = null; form[x] = z[x-2]; if (Player[x-1].health == 0) { form.splice(x-2,1) } } The code retrieves document.playerAction["action1"] (A select input type) and removes options 2-end (there is a max of 6). Then, if a certain player (x-1 causes it to loop 1-4) has a health of 0, it splices out that element). Everything works fine, except I get an error saying that "Object #<an HTMLSelectElement> has no method 'splice' " and it refuses to execute the if. How do I work around this? Hi there I have a form with elements named (& id) 1 through 5 Why can't I loop through all my form elements like this... Code: function toggle(){ for (var i=1;i<=5;i++) { var y = document.getElementById(i); y.style.backgroundColor = '#FFFFFF'; } } The error I get is y is null??? If I hard code the id's like this... var y = document.getElementById('2'); it works fine?? Please Help NEWB Hi, I'm pulling my hair out to create a simple function! I am creating an array based on form elements. I then am trying to create an IF (and nested IF) statement to check if the fields are empty and then with the nested IF statement use certain fields to create mathematical functions. So far I have this: function QuantityMWh(form) { var formchk = document.forms[0] for (i = 0; i < formchk.elements.length; i++) { if (formchk.elements[1].value == "" && formchk.elements[2].value == "") { alert("Please fill out all fields.") break } } } It's only checking the first field and not the second, and vice versa. i.e. if only one field has text then it passes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Hi Folks - I have a form that has an array of input values: <input type="text" name=txtValue[] /> <input type="text" name=txtValue[] /> I do this so I can loop through the values in php... now...that's the easy part... the hard part comes to this: next to each of those boxes is a search button that allows the user to open up a popup window that they can search for an item, and select the item. Once they select the item it should populate that particular input box with the selected item. I can easily do this with a uniquely named input box, but can't seem to figure out how to do it with an array of input boxes... any idea? Hi all. I have a form named "theForm". How can I loop through this form elements that have an "id" ATTRIBUTE to them and then populate my ids array? var ids = new Array; for(i=0; i<document.theForm.elements.length; i++) { IF ELEMENT HAS AN ID ATTRIBUTE POPULATE ids array } Hello, I'm in need of some help. I have a form that I want to clone and add up to 5 duplicates with slight changes. The changes a Add a second question and another set of related radio buttons for only the duplicates. Change the title in the Header to increment by 1 ex. Header 1, Header 2... I also would like to make the form elements "id" and "names" unique. Also, continue to use the add and remove button at the bottom. I hope this is doable. Any help will be appreciated. I have included my existing code. NOTE: for a visual, I mocked up the the original form and 1 copy of the fields in the html, not to be used.

It does not do what I want it to do (obviously). The problem lies within the TextBoxAppear() function. The function worked when I tested it by adding just text (document.getElementByID('leftcolumn').innerHTML = "<p>test function</p>" so I know for a fact whatever I added to the function is the problem. What has been added to the function and needs fixing is in BOLD Code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset = "utf-8"> <title>Exercise 4</title> <style type = "text/css"> #leftcolumn { width: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: left} #rightcolumn { width: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: left} </style> <script> function start() { var button = document.getElementById( "submitButton" ); button.addEventListener( "click", TextBoxAppear, false ); } function TextBoxAppear() { var numberOfValuesInput = document.getElementByID( 'NumberOfValuesField' ); var numberOfValues = parseFloat( numberOfValuesInput.value ); var textBoxCreation = "<form action ="http://www.deitel.com"><p>"; for ( var i = 1; i < numberOfValues; ++i ) { textBoxCreation += "<label>Value" + i + ":<input id = 'Value" + i + "' type = 'text'></label>"; } textBoxCreation += "<input id = "calculateButton" type = "button" value = "Calculate"></p></form> document.getElementById('leftcolumnn').innerHTML = textBoxCreation; } window.addEventListener( "load", start, false ); </script> </head> <body> <form action ="http://www.deitel.com"> <p><label>Number of values to be calculated: <input id = "numberOfValuesField" type = "text"></label> <input id = "submitButton" type = "button" value = "Submit"></p> </form> <div id ="leftcolumn"><p>test left column</p></div> <div id ="rightcolumn"><p>test right column</p></div> </body> </html> Hi all, I had posted earlier on the NaN issue. I have worked some more on my test file. Basically I want the user to select an option depending on whether he/she has Paracetamol in syrup or drops form. Once this is selected, automatically a different div for syrup or for drops should be seen depending on what the user selected earlier. After this on pushing the calculate button, the output should be appropriate depending on the strength of the solution either for drops or syrup. I have put together what I think code that should work but it stubbornly refuses to do otherwise. I have attached the relevant file. If it doesn't work, obviously there is something wrong but what it is eludes me. Any help will be appreciated greatly, Thanks, Guys, For some reason my script only works when I have at lease two checkboxes. To simulate the problem just run it once with two html input checkbox elements -> check one checkbox and press submit -> it works -> Now remove one input checkbox field and check the remaining checkbox & submit -> Bamm doesn't work... What am I doing wrong ? Code: <html> <head> <script> function Check(chk) { for (i=0; i < chk.length; i++) chk[i].checked=document.ListActionForm.Check_ctr.checked ; } function desubmit() { if(get_args()==false) {alert("nothing_selected");return false;} if(labelling(true)) return false; } function labelling(s) {return true;} function get_args() { s=chkboxa2str(document.ListActionForm['listaction[]']); if(s)alert(s); if(s.length<8)return false; else return s; } function chkboxa2str(chkbox_a) { var list = ""; for(var i = 0; i < chkbox_a.length; i++){ if(chkbox_a[i].checked) { list += chkbox_a[i].value + " "; } } return list; } </script> </head> <body> <form action="?h=1296078874" method="post" name="ListActionForm" onsubmit="return desubmit()"> <input type='checkbox' name='listaction[]' value='2010102909103530'> Testbox 1<br> <input type='checkbox' name='listaction[]' value='2010102909103532'> Testbox 2<br> <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Versturen" > </form> </body> </html> I am very new to javascript. I have a problem getting to any element from this form generated by the jsp page using struts. Please show me how to get to item[0].totalAmount for example, so that I can create a function to calculate the calculateTotal(). So far, when I do the alert, it is only valid up to document.myForm.item; the document.myForm.item[0] is invalid according to the alert. Any help is very much appreciated. function calculateTotal(){ alert(document.myForm.item); } <form name="myForm" method="post" action="/myAction.do"> <table id="display" border="1"> <tr> <th scope="col" id="totalAmount">Total Amount</th> <th scope="col" id="adjustmentAmount>Adjustment Amount</th> <th scope="col" id="newAmount">NewAmount</th> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="item[0].totalAmount" id="totalAmount" value="100" readonly="readonly"></td> <td><input type="text" name="item[0].adjustmentAmount" id="adjustmentAmount" value="" onblur="javascript:calculateTotal();" readonly="readonly"></td> <td><input type="text" name="item[0].newAmount" id="newAmount" value="" readonly="readonly"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="item[1].totalAmount" id="totalAmount" value="350" readonly="readonly"></td> <td><input type="text" name="item[1].adjustmentAmount" id="adjustmentAmount" value="" onblur="javascript:calculateTotal();" readonly="readonly"></td> <td><input type="text" name="item[1].newAmount" id="newAmount" value="" readonly="readonly"></td> </tr> </table> </form> I wanted to know if document.getElementById works while accessing form elements. I tried doing this just for testing purposes This code doesnt work function validateForm() { var val = document.getElementById("id_login").getAttribute("value"); alert(val); return false; } but this does function validateForm() { alert(document.myForm.text_login.value ); return false; } Why doesnt document.getElementByid work with form objects.it works with all non form HTML objects.. |
