JavaScript - Need Guidance: Web Form With Subform... Best Approach
Hi All,
I am working on a page with a webform and a subform. I have two related tables where my main form will populate the one side of the relationship and the subform will be for the many side. I am thinking about using an HTML table to hold my subform fields with javascript to dynamically add rows for additional records. I am having trouble with the design of the form processing script, however as since the index on the parent record does not exist at the time of processing I can't think of a way to populate the link field for the child records. The only thing I can think of is to have my page's onload event create a "blank" record (generating the index and storing it in a hidden field) and then essentially make the proceesing script be an update rather than a create. This of course would involve creating some sort of delete function if the user leaves the page without submiting the form. I am not sure this is the best approach but it is all I can come up with. I am open to any ideas or guidance from the community on either my subform idea or processing script idea and I thank you in advance. Kind regards, Ken Similar TutorialsHi All, i know how to create a dynamic form or DIv ..but what i do not know is how to create a dynamic form/ or div into a previous dynamic one.. i need basically to see 5 dynamic forms / DIV in cascade where each one trigger the one coming after.. For what i need that : i have my user inserting information on the level 1. let say Copagny info 2- then he will be asked if he wants to add a sub level information ( subform) for that compagny or even many subforms at the same level .. and so on... 3- those sub level ( subforms ) can also call their respective subforms.. Any idea how to design this ? thanks I have many radio buttons associated with questions on a page with Yes/No options. Depending on if Yes or No is selected (varies with question), I need to prevent the user from going off of the page and somehow "mark" the questions that are answered "incorrectly/not preferred". I could probably put validation on each individual radio button and display a message when going off the page, but I'm looking to make this more dynamic. One idea I had was to put a function on each radio button's onChange event and build an array using .push() to construct the array with all the radio button IDs that are answered incorrectly. I ran into problems when deleting from the array when the radio button was changed back to a correct response though. What may be best is to somehow indicate which radio buttons need looked at when leaving the page and then run a function or case statement over all the radio buttons to build an object? I'm not sure what approach to take. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Hi Guys, I noticed a feature on http://zendesk.com and other places around the net, where on zendesk the top horizontal nav bar kind of stays at the top of the screen once you have scrolled down the page a little bit. Please take a look at it. I really would like to learn how to do it, but I haven't got a clue what it would be called. I assume its done in javascript since its using DOM. Can anyone help me with either a name or a good tutorial on how to do it? That would be super! Thanks in advance. Hi, I'm currently building a website at the moment & I have a feature on the page that I would like to perform a nice slideshow. However, its not just in a single square frame, i've made it nice and complicated for myself that i've kind of got myself in a muddle trying to work out the best way of going about this feature. Below is an image that'll hopefully save me from babbling too much. So as you can see, in photoshop i've used masking on the images to produce the effect. So at the moment, two images are showing...each taking up four of these rectangles. I'd like every 7 seconds lets say, for both images to slide off and two more to replace them. Whats the best way to do this? As i'm wanting to use jquery/javascript for this feature. thanks for any advice. Hi and hope you can help, I'm doing some course work and the current lesson I'm doing is about substituting images depending on onclick functions. I've attached the HTML / JavaScript as a txt file, this is their sample file and it is rather bulky and repetetive. I was wondering whether it would be possible to simplify the code as there is a lot of repetition, there are 8 question functions and 8 answer functions, I'm wondering if this could be simplified into 1 question and 1 answer function. Thanks for your interest, R Hello all. I need to use javascript to validate 6 text inputs to make sure data is entered and they are not empty. However, there is a checkbox above this and if the checkbox is checked I need these areas to NOT validate as they become optional at that point. Here is what I have: Code: function validateCheckbox() { if(document.forms["form1"].sales.checked) { if(document.forms["form1"].input1.value.length < 1) { // x return false; } else { return true; } } } The above is if the box is checked to validate the field. I want it to do the opposite. How would you do the above with the If statement referring if the check box is NOT checked? And how could I add more fields to check then just one? I am new to javascript so any help or guidance is appreciated. I'm learning JavaScript, but want to make an accounting program(site) for my brother. It will be backed by php and mysql. I've found that javascript doesn't "really" have multidimensional arrays. The ways I figure to collect name, address, phone, etc could be any of these: 1. Create a customer object (customer.name, customer.address) 2. Use the mutidimensional array that JavaScript does offer. (var customers [ [], [] ]) 3. Create bunches of variables (var customerName, var customerAddress) or any other method I have found (will find). The information will for a customer will be filled out via HTML forms, processed by JavaScript then sent up to the PHP/MySQL database. OR should I just use PHP to deal with these directly? My impression is to use client side technology as much as possible or is this wrong? -Matt Hey guys, here's my code Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <style type="text/css"> #box { background: red; width: 300px; height: 300px; display: none; } #box2 { background: green; width: 300px; height: 300px; display: none; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $('a.about').click(function() { $('#box').stop().slideToggle(2000); }); }); $(function() { $('a.contact').click(function() { $('#box2').stop().slideToggle(2000); }); }); </script> </head> <body> <div id="box"></div> <div id="box2"></div> <a href="#" class="about" />about</a> <a href="#" class="contact" />contact</a> </body> </html> Basically I want to make it so that if you click about, and about is open, once you click contact it closes about before opening contact? I'm not sure how to approach this though whether I should use if statements or something? I'm pretty new to jquery I have the need to utilize a pop-up calendar about three times on one of my pages. I created the calendar in a separate html file, complete with jquery functions for pulling the date once a user clicks their desired day. What is the best approach to have that calendar pop up in small window that hovers on the page so that I can take the users clicked day and utilize it on the main page? Should I use the jquery load () function to load the calendar into a div on the main page? Or should I include the calendar file in my header? I'm just asking for some ideas and guidance. I'm almost positive this question will make you groan "neewwwbie!".... I have a simple javascript that decides which 'div' to make visible, based on another element within the html. What i want now is to create a page where someone can view all the possible divs in that javascript that might appear and edit them (including href's, ital, bold and image tags.) Much like a CMS system, but the information is within a javascript, not a database. I would assume it's possible. What's a good way to approach this? It sounds like Javascript cannot edit .txt files. Is there a way to have the user access and edit an .xml file and just pull that into the div tag, instead of text? Hello, I have a specific need in javascript. Can I be guided in this context if its possible or not??? I am using virtuemart extension in joomla to make an ecommerce website. I will try to explain my requirement with the example. Following is the sample category tree with number. 1.0 .....1.1 ..........1.1.1 ..........1.1.2 .....1.2 ..........1.2.1 ..........1.2.2 .....1.3 ..........1.3.1 ..........1.3.2 2.0 .....2.1 ..........2.1.1 ..........2.1.2 .....2.2 ..........2.2.1 ..........2.2.2 .....2.3 ..........2.3.1 ..........2.3.2 Now I have a drop down main menu as 1.0 and 2.0. I want that when i click on 1.0 all the nodes of 1.0 should be opened and 2.0 should be closed and similarly when i click on 2.0 all its child nodes should be opened and 1.0 should be closed. What happen with most extensions is that at a time only one child is opened. If i click on 1.0 then only 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 will remain open at a time. Does this kind of customization can be done or is available in javascript .... I hope i will be helped... Thanks a lot for the time. So on my page I have aspanels that are containing different content. Also I have a nav menu to the left... What I am trying to have happen is when you select a link it fires the serverside and client side scripts (which "seems" to be working) and essentially make the nav menu a "autohide-type" tool bar and then give the iframe more space to display the page. then whenever you hover over the "autohide bar" it will resixe the iframe smaller and the menu larger so you can click and so on... So the problem I am having (I've figured out how to fire both side's codes) is that when I am debugging my breakpoints are saying there is no object... below is the simple js I'm trying to use Code: function autohide() { document.getElementById('hidebar').style.display = "block"; document.getElementById('pan_actframe').style.width = "978px"; } I put the 's in at the suggestion of another colleague but originally had the normal getElementById(hidebar) etc... so what is really wierd is with the 's I get the warning (at my breakpoint regarding hidebar) that "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object required"... now if i remove the 's to make it "what the proper syntax is" I get that exact same warning thrown at my breakpoint regarding pan_actframe... so building off this I put the 's around the asp object and left the html object as normal syntax... in every case, nothing ever happens. The "hidebar" element that has display:none; never gets rescripted to display. I could handle all of this (i guess) by seperating the serverside and client side rescript, but that will only be a temp fix and this same issue will resurface once I move onto writing my mouseover functions. I hope I am being clear, but let me know what other info is needed Note: the functions are being called, and I know this. The server function re-writes various panels that if it were not firing would not work accordingly, and as for the javascript- I drop right into the debug when it is supposed to fire... the objects just never get hit... below are the begining sections of the objects so you can verify the ID's are correctly being called. Code: <div id="hidebar">.... <asp:Panel ID="pan_actframe" runat="server">... 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've literally tried everything. Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes. I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return. html form: Code: <form id="f1" name="form1" onsubmit="validate_form(this); return false;" action="register" method="post"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;

Hi, I have a working contact form with 3 of the fields requiring validation and they work well. I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them. My problem is that the new fields don't show in the behaviours/validate panel even though they are within the form tag. Can anyone give me any help and advice as to how to accomplish this? Many thanks Code below....

(newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong? here is my code so far... Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok. Code: .... <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { document.forms[0].username.focus(); } function validate(form) { var form = document.getElementById("reg"); var e = document.getElementById("error"); e.style.background = "red"; for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { var el = form.elements[i]; if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password") { if(el.value == "") { e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!"; el.style.border = "1px solid red"; el.focus(); return false; } else { el.style.border = "1px solid green"; return false; } } } var un = form.username; un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; un.focus(); return false; } var pw = form.password; pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; pw.focus(); return false; } e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!"; e.style.background = "green"; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <h1>My Cool Website</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="padding"> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Problem is, right now, I can only get it to validate the first page, then it sends the email before the rest of the pages are viewed. I'm just trying to delay the submission of the form until the "submit_fourth" button is pressed. I've got $25 via paypal for the one who sticks with this one for long enough to come up with a workable solution. Here is my code... I know it's a lot, but I wasn't sure how much would be helpful. HTML code is in the second post in this thread (it was just too much to fit in one go). Cheers! -Dave The Javascript: Code: $(function validateForm(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'email', 'phone' : '(555) 123-4567', 'other' : 'other', 'detail' : 'project overview' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('input#phone').inputfocus({ value: field_values['phone'] }); $('input#other').inputfocus({ value: field_values['other'] }); $('input#detail').inputfocus({ value: field_values['detail'] }); //reset progress bar $('#progress').css('width','0'); $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); //first_step $('form').submit(function(){ }); $('#submit_first').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#first_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#first_step input[type=text]'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#first_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_second').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','0px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#first_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_second').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#second_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); var fields2 = $('#second_step input[textarea]'); var error = 0; fields2.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('75% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','255px'); //prepare the fourth step var fields3 = new Array( $('#time').val(), $('#budget').val() ); var fields2half = new Array( $('#detail').val() ); var fields2 = new Array( $('#other').val(), $('#pages').val() ); var fields1 = new Array( $('#name').val(), $('#email').val(), $('#phone').val(), $('#contact').val(), $('#url').val() ); var tr = $('#fourth_step tr'); tr.each(function(){ //alert( fields[$(this).index()] ) $(this).children('.1 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields1[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2half td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2half[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.3 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields3[$(this).index()]); }); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); }); $('#back_fourth').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#fourth_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_fourth').click(function(){ //send information to server //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('100% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','339px'); //slide steps $('#fifth_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); if(error <= 0) { return true } else{ return false } }); }); |
