JavaScript - Reordering Text Input Values

Hi guys,

Let me explain simply what I do and what I'm trying to achieve:

I got a couple of comboboxes were the user selects a series of numbers. Once a selection is made, the value is appended to an input box. The idea is that the appended values form a telephone number, or at least part of one, that will then be used to search trough a database to look for a matching number.

The code below is what I have done so far:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function displayIndicatif(){
	var sel = document.getElementById("indicatif");
	var text = sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;
        var out = document.getElementById("blabla");
	out.value += text+"\n";
		}

function displayBloc(){
	var sel1 = document.getElementById("bloc");
	var text1 = sel1.options[sel1.selectedIndex].value;
	var out1 = document.getElementById("blabla");
	out1.value += text1+"\n";
}
</script>

[...]

<input type="text" id="blabla"/>

[..]

<select id="indicatif" onChange="displayIndicatif();">
	<option value="021">021</option>
        <option value="022">022</option>
	<option value="031">031</option>
</select>

<select id="bloc" onChange="displayBloc();">
	<option value="555" class="021">555</option>
	<option value="666" class="021">666</option>
	<option value="777" class="021">777</option>
</select>

Basically what happens now is this:

combobox indicatif: 021 | 022 | 031
combobox bloc: 555 | 666 | 777

If I select "021" from indicatif, the script will append 021 to the input "blabla". The problem is, if I now select "022", the input will show "021022" instead of replacing the 021 with 022.

What I would like is that, for each combobox, the script replaces the selected value with the new one instead of simply appending it, like instead of say 021022555666 it would show 021555 or 022666 or 021666 depending on what is selected...you get the idea?

Is this doable? Needless to say I'm a total noob at javascript...I adapted the code I got now from some other guy who was trying to achieve almost the same thing and adapted it to my needs, or least, tried to, but now I'm stuck.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

}

print "</table>";
}

this is part of a php searchengine script that i wrote to retrieve data from a database and as you can see the last column that is g contains a link which when clicked takes the user to the second php script which retrieves additional information of that entry, but this is done for only single entries so as you can see i introduced checkboxes so that the user can check any number of checkboxes and retrieve information as per their wish

now to do this i created a <input type=text where i want the value of these checkboxes i.e. $id to be posted in a delimited format so that the user can then click the corresponding button and retrieve the information this is the code

<div id="floatMenu">
<ul class="menu1">
<center><li><form name="senddata" method="POST" action="http://localhost/retrieve.php" style="display:inline;"><input id="fasta" type="text" class="multitext"><input name="Fasta" type="Submit" value="Retrieve Fasta"></form>

this is a css floating menu....so far so good....everything went fine....
after this i had to write a javascript to do this and i've been stuck there searching forums for the last 4 days!

this is the javascript i found from somewhere which came close to doing wht i wanted it to do

window.onload = function () {
var cb = document.getElementById('check');
var fasta = document.getElementById('fasta');
cb.onclick = function () {fasta.value = cb.value + ",";
};};

this script only sends the value of the first checkbox in the table, the others are not found by it, mind you its not the first checkbox selected its the first checkbox that is present in the table

how can i resolve this problem so that even if i have n number of checkboxes in my table, if the user chooses to do so they can retrieve n number of information....please help i've almost lost hope in this!

Hi all

can someone guide me (total JS newbie) on this presumably pretty easy task?

I have a "parent" page with some text inputs in it (a form). This is what I am after:
-when the user clicks a link it pops open a new window via JS - "child" (this is working).
-in the "child" window there are also some text inputs (another form) (done).
-when the user changes the value for 'testChild_textInput_4' in the child window, then I want it to automatically set this same value, to effectively overwrite, what is currently in 'testParent_textInput_2' in the parent window.

Presumably this involves an onChange event, but it is also OK with me if the needful (the text input's value in the parent window being overwritten) happens upon the child window's form submit. If anyone can show me either trick, I would be thrilled!

I set up a test page to make this all easy to talk about:

Please let me know!
Thanks!

Hi gud mng,

I have one problem...

How to process textbox values/ call textbox values in JS through a Java program.
My text box values are dates. I have to process these dates.

Like in online banking we select day to know our transactions. After submitting we get results. remember my files are in my directory only. No need of database.

My files are look like 20100929, 20100930, 20101001

For epoch_classes.js, epoch_styles.css u can download coding from this link : http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/...ch/index.shtml


Code:


Code:

In my coding, ys, ms, ds represents year starting, month starting, starting day...
ye, me, de represents end...

start,end gives file names in the format of yyyymmdd

now i want to process files from 20100101 to 20100930

means from date is 2010/01/01 and to date is 2010/09/30

if i press submit button the files from 20100101 to 20100930 are processes

here ys=2010 ms=01 ds =01 and ye=2010 me=09 de= 30

For this how do i call these textbox values (from date text box and todate) to another program (java)

Thanks in advance.

I am thinking this should be fairly easy but yet I am not getting far. I want to have a form with a single text imput field for a zip code. Depending on which zip code the user enters will determine which url they will be sent to. If they enter a zip code which is not in the script, they would be sent to a default url.
I am also assuming this can be accomplished with javascript.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
