JavaScript - Help Passing Data From Form To Another Area Of Page
hi there, i'm new here and pretty new to js.
i'm making a page for my daughter's school - or trying to. they are having a silent auction and i'm trying to make a very simple bidding page. where i'm running into problems is passing the bid to a text box (read only) where it can be updated when a new bid is entered. I would like this to be in the upper part of the page with the listings of the auction items, i just can't wrap my head around how to do this. I've gotten as far as the form for entering the bod and contact info. I have the php code to submit. i still have to get the validation js to make it more secure. thanks for any help. Code: <html> <body> <h1 id="logo"></h1> <div id="main"> <p> <h4>Silent Auction</h4> <form name="auction" method="post" action="send_form_email.php" > <label for="item1">Item 1</label> <br /> <label for="curr_bid_item_1">Current Bid = </label><br /> Your Bid = <input type="text" name="item1" maxlength="15" size="10" /> <br /> <br /> <label for="item2">Item 2</label><br /> <label for="curr_bid_item_2">Current Bid = </label><br /> Your Bid = <input type="text" name="item2" maxlength=="15" size="10" /> <br /> <br /> <label for="item3">Item 3</label><br /> <label for="curr_bid_item_3">Current Bid = </label><br /> Your Bid = <input type="text" name="item3" maxlength="15" size="10" /> <br /> <br /><br /><br /> <form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_form_email.php" onsubmit="document.getElementById('myButton').disabled=true; document.getElementById('myButton').value='Submitting, please wait...';"> <label for="first_name">First Name *</label> <input type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30"><br /><br /> <label for="last_name">Last Name *</label> <input type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30"><br /><br /> <label for="email">Email Address *</label> <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30"><br /><br /> <label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label> <input type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30"><br /><br /> <label for="comments">Comments</label><br /> <textarea name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="40" rows="6"></textarea><br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" id="myButton" /> </form> </form> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsI have a "pre-order" opt-in page disguised as a "step 1" in the order process of a clickbank product I'm ready to launch. I'm wanting to pass the user's first name, last name, and email address (built into the optin form) over to the clickbank order page upon submit. Clickbank gives me the data strings you can pass along, but I'm not sure how to properly configure this function or where to place it in my page code. This is the only step I have remaining before I can go live, and it's holding me back. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. I can provide any code needed for review to assist in getting this wrapped up. Thanks in advance Hey guys, I've been searching for a few hours and haven't been able to find a code snippet to see if this is available. I'm attempting to pass text from my website to another website that has a form setup on it. I'd like to fill in the pertinent data for my users on the page that I load for them. I cannot make any changes to the receiving page as it is run by another company. I've pasted some of the code that is available on the receiving form. Thanks for any help. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var theForm = document.forms['form1']; if (!theForm) { theForm = document.form1; } function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) { if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) { theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget; theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument; theForm.submit(); } } //]]> </script> <input name="txtBranch" type="text" maxlength="4" id="txtBranch" tabindex="1" style="height:14px;width:35px;" /> <input name="txtClient" type="text" maxlength="11" size="11" id="txtClient" tabindex="2" style="height:14px;" /> Im trying to fill in the data in these 2 input fields. I inherited a calculator form using javascript that passes the form field data to a "lead mailbox" .asp page on a different site, and that site would then email/forward the salesman the data. The calculator also passes the calculated data to the next page for the user and gives them their calculated loan range. What I would like to do is not send this data to the "lead mailbox" site but instead send the data via Gmail (if possible) to the salesman as he wants to generate leads outside the company and not use the "lead mailbox". There are two lines of code that specify where to send the data (to the "lead mailbox" site) but I don't know how the receiving page is setup to receive the form data fields as it is https: (SSL) and I don't have access to that code. Everything works perfect with the code...I just want to send the data to a new location...but not sure how or if I can pass the data fields to a Gmail account like the salesman would like. Thanks for any help you can provide!! Normally sending form data is easy...but I inherited this and it was custom written javascript. Code: {document.contact.action = "https://www.othersitemailbox.com/post.aspx?account=EXN01&source=PTPPC-QQ"; document.contact.landing.value = "http://www.best-mortgage-programs.com/QQ.html?"+link} I have "blurred/changed" out the actual landing page value and actual URL of the https: address for privacy reasons... Thanks!! Hello, i'm working on a 3 page survey. When hitting next, previous, or submit it passes the values of all the questions to the next page. I've got the whole thing working correcting except for one thing: When the box is "not" checked it passes no value. I'm needing it to have a value of "1" when checked and a value of "0" when not checked, and currently when its not checked and i pass the info it leaves it blank. I'd post the whole code to one of the pages but it's long , so i'll post the snipits of the code. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function processQueryString() { var formData = location.search; formData = formData.substring(1, formData.length); while (formData.indexOf("+") != -1) { formData = formData.replace("+", " "); } formData = unescape(formData); var formArray = formData.split("&"); for (var i=0; i < formArray.length; ++i) { //document.writeln(formArray[i] + "<br />"); var sDataName = formArray[i].split("=") switch (sDataName[0]) { case ".lib_use": for (var j=0; j < document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").length; ++j) { if (document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").item(j).value == sDataName[1]) { document.getElementsByName(".lib_use").item(j).checked = true; //alert("lib_use set"); } } break; case ".lib_comp": if (sDataName[1] == 1) { document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").checked = true; document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").value= 1; } else { document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").checked = false; document.getElementsByName(".lib_comp").value= 0; } break; default: alert("not caught = " + sDataName[0]); continue; } } } /* ]]> */ </script> <input type="checkbox" name=".lib_comp" id="lib_comp" value="1" /> The first case that i showed in my code is a radio button, and it passes correctly, i just wanted to show the "format" i was using in a working sense. The 2nd case is an example of the check boxes. Thanks for looking at this, and giving any suggestions you might have! Hi, I want my page to jump to a different page based on data collected in the form input fields. I can jump to a new page alright, using the following javascript: 1. javascript code in form_a.html document.forms["form_A"].action = "page_x.html"l; document.forms["form_A"].submit(); 2. document.forms[0].action = "page_x.html"l; 3. window.locaton = "page_x.html"; 4. window.location.href = "page_x.html"; The problem is, I can see the new page was jumped to, but immediately it return back to the page that trigger the jump. Any idea? I need to finish the project before Christmas. Any help is greatly appreciated! Jeff I want to use Javascript to submit a form - without filling the form in physically Is this possible? Let's say a web page has a form that submit First Name and Last Name to the next page Instead of filling in the form and hitting submit, can I submit the data in variables and call the next page somehow using Javascript? Thanks OM Hello Friends In my jsp,Struts project i am using the javascript calendar control for selecting the date and by using function calcage() i am calculating the age of the user but problem occurs when the page refreshes OR when user updated the other values such as name ,contact no. Then the value of the age is set as 0 in the textfield as 0 So can you please tell me why this problem occurs And please give me solution Thanks On a web form my users choose different variables to "shock" (ie change relative to a starting base) over different periods: eg user "shocks" US interest rates 0.50% points above base during 201202-201304 (ie 2012 Quarter2-2013 Quarter4) User may then add another "shock" to same variable: US interest rates .75 % points above base during 201301-201404 (ie 2013 Quarter1-2014 Quarter4) User may then add "shock" to different variable: JAPAN interest rates (RSH_j) 1.00 % points above base during 201201-201404 (ie 2012 Quarter1-2014 Quarter4) I have generated a Select area (ShockVarPlot) that concatenates the required component data from DD boxes for charting: RSH_u,201202-201304,+0.50 RSH_u,201301-201404,+0.75 RSH_j,201301-201404,+1.00 (NB each line of the above Select box is formed after the "Add Shock" button is clicked, so this is the obvious event to trigger the Chart Plot too) For EACH particular variable being shocked (eg RSH_u, RSH_j) I would like to instantly plot the entire profile of each shock. Subsequent shocks to the SAME variable may simply append to earlier shocks or may (partially) overwrite depending if the time period chosen overlaps. But once a NEW shock variable is chosen (eg RSH_j) , the previous plot (of RSH_u) simple gets overwritten in the common plot area. The x-axis scale width can be hard-coded; say 201004-202104. Charting Requirement (for common plot area) ---- "Add Shock" button=> First Plot - Plot RSH_u +0.50 above base over 201202-201304....... "Add Shock" button=> ....then (partially) overwrite/append with +0.75 over 201301-201404 "Add Shock" button=> Second Plot - Delete above plot & Plot RSH_j +1.00 above base over 201301-201404 Chartplot needs to display the variable being charted eg "RSH_u"or "RSH_j" Logic Requirement ---- If new shock => plot this magnitude over selected period within 201001-202104 If new shock (same variable) => plot this as above but this shock overwrites previous if any time-period overlap If new shock (new variable) => delete first plot & plot this magnitude over selected period within 201001-202104 Question -------------- Is there a simple Javascript method to achieve this real-time plotting/appending on clicking "Add Shock" ? I have seen things like FLOT charting but not sure how to read/chart my Listbox output in ShockVarPlot above Any thoughts ? Hello, I have 2 things I'm trying to figure out. 1. First form on the page has questions with radio buttons. Each radio's value is a number so a score is assessed at the end. 2. Second form on the page is an email the admin form, which duplicates the score in one field. Question: I would like to know how to write the form results to a text area in second form. However, I can't do this for one, and secondly, the value is a number, can I use labels? Here's the code I've 'made up' so far...

Thanks Hi! I have a script that opens up another window and a task gets executed, all of that is fine, but is there anyway that the parent window (the window that gets open) can pass data to the window that opened it? (I pretty much want to enable a button on that page) Thanks... - Matt I'll admit I'm new to javascript, so my apologies if this looks like crap.

I am running some javascript code which generates a popup window associated with a spell checking program. The way the program works, is that it takes the text out of a text field (passed as an object), spell checks the string, then puts it back into the text area field. My text area is located within a flash form, and I am having trouble pointing to it. I am sure my spell checking program is working, as it works fine if I point to an html text area. Do I have to do something special to point to a flash form object? Here is my code: Code: <!--- Source the JavaScript spellChecker object ---> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../Spellchecking/spellerpages-0.5.1/speller/spellChecker.js"> </script> <!--- Call a function like this to handle the spell check command ---> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function openSpellChecker() { // get the textarea we're going to check <!--- pointer to text area ---> var txt = window.activity.Summary; // give the spellChecker object a reference to our textarea // pass any number of text objects as arguments to the constructor: var speller = new spellChecker( txt ); // kick it off speller.openChecker(); } </script> Also, here is my text area: Code: <cfform format="flash" id="activity1" height="#formheight#" width="100%" style="#formstyle#" timeout="3600" wmode="transparent" name="activity" onLoad="#initVars#; onFormLoad();"> <cftextarea name="Summary" id="Summary" html="yes" maxlength="1000" tooltip="Summarize your entry here. The field has a 1000 character limit. This summary is included in the generated End of the Week reports." onChange="submitTemporary('Summary', Summary.text);requiredContent('summary');" onFocus="if(detailsBox.height>60){detailsBox.height=60;summaryBox.height=220;}"></cftextarea> </cfform> Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.
