JavaScript - Copying Data From One Textbox To Another
I have 2 text boxes on my page. When the user clicks in one text box, I would like whatever is in there to be copied to the other text box.
Is this possible? I have looked into it and onClick seems like it might do it but I can't get it to work. Thanks. Similar TutorialsHi.. I have form and i want to input data using barcode and it will display on textbox and after input on the first textbox the focus will go to next textbox untill it will go on the last textbox and on the last textbox it will automatically save the data's on the database. How is it possible? here is my sample code: Code: <?php error_reporting(0); date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Singapore"); //set the time zone $con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root',''); if (!$con) { echo 'failed'; die(); } mysql_select_db("mes", $con); ?> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function ini() { // Retrieve the code var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box1").value; var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box2").value; var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box3").value; var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box4").value; var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box5").value; var code =document.getElementById ("code_read_box6").value; // Return false to prevent the form to submit return false; } </script> </head> <body onLoad="document.barcode.code_read_box1.focus()"> <form name=barcode onsubmit = "return ini()"> <input type="text" id="code_read_box1" value="" /><br/> <input type="text" id="code_read_box2" value="" /><br/> <input type="text" id="code_read_box3" value="" /><br/> <input type="text" id="code_read_box4" value="" /><br/> <input type="text" id="code_read_box5" value="" /><br/> <input type="text" id="code_read_box6" value="" /><br/> </form> </body> </html> Hello! First off, please excuse my ignorance. I am a bit new to the coding world. I want users to be able to enter data into a textbox on my site, and the data then be placed at the end of a specific url, followed by '.html'. For example, say my website is mysite.com. If someone enters in the word "John" in the textbox and clicks the 'Submit' button, the URL should now be: mysite.com/John.html Thanks in advance! hi there, i wish there could be solution to this as I cannot figure how to do it. I would like to have an autocopy and paste data from a page to a textbox...Like if a webpage has the details like receive from: and receive to:, can this text be autocopied to a textbox on a click of a button? the text box is place on another webpage, so there are basically two webpages, 1st page is where the data to be copied is contained while the 2nd webpage is where the textbox is contained. the data to be copied on the 1st page are the contents of received from: and recieved to: like receive from:edward receive to:jacob. So with a click of a button I would like the contents receive from:edward receive to:jacob be copied and pasted on the text box from another page... I hope this sounds clear enough...sorry to be a pain... regards, verve Hi.. I just want to know how does it happen that when I scan the barcode using barcode scanner it will automatically put on the first textbox, then the focus will go to the next textbox and on the last textbox will automatically save the data to database. here is my sample form. PHP Code: <?php error_reporting(0); date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Singapore"); //set the time zone $con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root',''); if (!$con) { echo 'failed'; die(); } mysql_select_db("mes", $con); $sr_date =date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $sql = "SELECT sr_number FROM receiving_materials ORDER BY sr_date DESC LIMIT 1"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $con); if (!$result) { echo 'failed'; die(); } $total = mysql_num_rows($result); if ($total <= 0) { $currentSRNum = 1; $currentYear = (int)(date('y')); $currentMonth = (int)(date('m')); $currentDay = (int)(date('d')); $currentSRYMD = substr($row['sr_number'], 0, 6); $currentYMD = date("ymd"); if ($currentYMD > $currentSRYMD) { $currentSRNum = 1; } else { $currentSRNum += 1; } } else { //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Stock Number iteration.... $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $currentSRNum = (int)(substr($row['sr_number'],0,3)); $currentSRYear = (int)(substr($row['sr_number'],2,2)); $currentSRMonth = (int)(substr($row['sr_number'],0,2)); $currentSRNum = (int)(substr($row['sr_number'],6,4)); $currentYear = (int)(date('y')); $currentMonth = (int)(date('m')); $currentDay = (int)(date('d')); $currentSRYMD = substr($row['sr_number'], 0, 6); $currentYMD = date("ymd"); if ($currentYMD > $currentSRYMD) { $currentSRNum = 1; } else { $currentSRNum += 1; } } //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ $yearMonth = date('ymd'); $currentSR = $currentYMD . sprintf("%04d", $currentSRNum); ?> <html> <title>Receiving Materials</title> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="kanban.css" /> <style type="text/css"> #SR_date{ position: relative; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: .9em; margin-left: 10px; width: auto; height: auto; float: left; top : 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <form name="receiving_form" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <div id="SR_date"> <label>Date :</label> <input type="text" name="sr_date" value="<?php echo $sr_date; ?>" size="16" readonly="readonly" style="border: none;"> </div> <div id="SR_number"> <label>RM# :</label> <input type="text" name="sr_number" value="<?php echo $currentSR; ?>" size="9" readonly="readonly" style="font-weight: bold; border: none;"> </div> <div id="SI_number"> <label class="LLabelRM">SI/DR# :</label> <input type="text" name="si_num" id="si_num" class="LFieldRM" value="" size="25"> <br/></br/> <label class="LLabelRM">Supplier Name :</label> <input type="text" name="s_name" id="s_name" class="LFieldRM" value="" size="25"> <br/></br/> <label class="LLabelSecRM">PO # :</label> <input type="text" name="po_num" id="po_num" class="LFieldSecRM" value="" size="25"> <label class="LLabelSecRM">Quantity :</label> <input type="text" name="qty" id="qty" class="LFieldSec1RM" value="" size="25"> <br/> <br/> <label class="LLabelSecRM">Material Code :</label> <input type="text" name="mat_code" id="mat_code" class="LFieldSecRM" value="" size="25"> <label class="LLabelSecRM">Material Desc. :</label> <input type="text" name="mat_desc" id="mat_desc" class="LFieldSec1RM" value="" size="25"> <br/></br/> <label class="LLabelSecRM">WH Code :</label> <input type="text" name="wh_code" id="wh_code" class="LFieldSecRM" value="" size="25"> <label class="LLabelSecRM">BIN Location :</label> <input type="text" name="bin_loc" id="bin_loc" class="LFieldSec1RM" value="" size="25"> </div> </form> </body> </html> Thank you Hello. I've been teaching myself HTML and CSS for a while, and now I've moved into the world of Javascript (but I'm still very much a beginner). For practice, I've been building a sample sign up form for a mock website, and I'm having problems with the birthdate section. The idea I had was to have MM, DD, and YYYY be the default values of my 3 textboxes (as an example for users), then set the value to nothing when the box gained focus. That all works fine, but I ran into problems when I tried to write an if statement to set the value back to MM, DD, or YYYY if the value was still nothing when the user clicked away. As it is now it just replaces the text inputted into the textbox (which of course is not good). Any ideas for what the problem might be? Code: <form name="signup" action="javascript:void(0);" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td>Date Of Birth:</td> <td> <input name="DOBmonth" type="text" value="MM" size="2" style="color: #555555;" onFocus="clearDOBmonth()" onBlur="restoreDOBmonth()" /> <input name="DOBday" type="text" value="DD" size="2" style="color: #555555;" onFocus="clearDOBday()" /> <input name="DOByear" type="text" value="YYYY" size="4" style="color: #555555;" onFocus="clearDOByear()" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><button name="Submit" type="submit" style="font-size: 1em;">Sign Up</button></td> </tr> </table> </form> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> <!-- document.signup.DOBmonth.value="MM"; document.signup.DOBday.value="DD"; document.signup.DOByear.value="YYYY"; function clearDOBmonth() { document.signup.DOBmonth.value="";} function clearDOBday() { document.signup.DOBday.value="";} function clearDOByear() { document.signup.DOByear.value="";} function restoreDOBmonth() { if ('document.signup.DOBmonth.value = ""') { document.signup.DOBmonth.value = "MM"; // alert(document.signup.DOBmonth.value); } } //--> </script> Another side question, if I set a variable equal to the value of a textbox, then change the value of the variable, does that also change the value of the textbox? or is the variable no longer associated with the textbox. Example: Code: var a = document.form.textbox.value; a = blue; does document.form.textbox.value = blue? or is var a now completely independent of the textbox value? Thanks! G'day, How would I go about copying all the prototype functions AND the constructor from one object into another object, and then call them? Code: function myOriginal() { alert('Hello'); } myOriginal.prototype.example = function() { alert('In example '+this.test); } function myNewThing() { // Copy myOriginal into this object here this.oldconstructor(); // Should now display "Hello" this.test = 'from myNewThing'; this.example(); // Should now display "In example myNewThing" } I know I can use this.example.call(this), but that's not an acceptable solution. I want to deploy this style over dozens, potentially hundreds of objects. Thanks muchly, Your friend from server-side... Either I'm having a moment of stupidity, or have completely failed to understand a fundamental aspect of javascript. The code below is jquery, and uses jquery's extend() function, but I don't think that the issue has anything to do with that... does it? Code: $(document).ready(function(){ var obj1 = { "name": "spud" ,"age": 32 } var obj2 = obj1; $.extend(obj2, {"location": "UK"}); console.log(obj1); }); By my reasoning, obj1 shouldn't have location set. But it does. If this is something peculiar to jquery, then my apologies and I'll go off to the right forum - but is it? Is the line var obj2 = obj1; not making a copy of the original and leaving the original intact? Is it instead making some sort of reference to it? Why is changing the copy having an effect on the original?? Essentially, I have an ASP.net page where I load a record set server side and upload it into a listbox. I'm trying to do all the movement functionalities of the listbox items client side. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to copy selected listbox items from one listbox to another -- on button click. I've searched for a while, but every example that I found moves the actual item into another listbox, I just want to copy the selected item to another listbox. I'm very new to JavaScript, so ff someone can provide an example or pseudo code, I would greatly appreciate it. Hi everyone, Is there a shorter and cleaner way of performing the following: The objective is to get the value/input from the first set of textboxes in the form and copy them to other set of textboxes. Outline of the form is as follows: First set of textboxes Company Address City State Zip Country Select number of users -->1 2 3 User 1 Company Address City State Zip Country User 2 Company Div Address1 Address2 City State Zip Country User 3 Company Address City State Zip Country ============================================= At the moment the code looks like this where (comp,div, addra,addrb,city,state,zip and country) are the name attributes of the first set of text boxes and (comp1.....country1,comp2.....country2, comp3....country3) are the name attributes for the textboxes for user 1,2 and 3 respectively. Code: function compAddress(){ document.form.comp1.value = document.form.comp.value; document.form.div1.value = document.form.div.value; document.form.addra1.value = document.form.addra.value; document.form.addrb1.value = document.form.addrb.value; document.form.city1.value = document.form.city.value; document.form.state1.value = document.form.state.value; document.form.zip1.value = document.form.zip.value; document.form.country1.value = document.form.country.value; document.form.comp2.value = document.form.comp.value; document.form.div2.value = document.form.div.value; document.form.addra2.value = document.form.addra.value; document.form.addrb2.value = document.form.addrb.value; document.form.city2.value = document.form.city.value; document.form.state2.value = document.form.state.value; document.form.zip2.value = document.form.zip.value; document.form.country2.value = document.form.country.value; document.form.comp3.value = document.form.comp.value; document.form.div3.value = document.form.div.value; document.form.addra3.value = document.form.addra.value; document.form.addrb3.value = document.form.addrb.value; document.form.city3.value = document.form.city.value; document.form.state3.value = document.form.state.value; document.form.zip3.value = document.form.zip.value; document.form.country3.value = document.form.country.value; Thanks, I have 2 textareas, 1 which will be vissible, another that will be hidden. I have a function that mirrors (not in reversed lettering) the first textarea's input to the second. Code: function copy_data(val){ var messageText = document.getElementById(val.id).value document.getElementById('message').innerHTML = messageText; } So that copies from : <textarea name="text_message" rows="4" id="text_message" style="direction:ltr;" onkeyup="copy_data(this)"></textarea><br/> To: <textarea name="message" rows="4" id="message" style="direction:ltr;"></textarea> Then I have another function which when I select text in the "text_message" textarea will apply a tag to it, however I don't want this tag to be vissible in the "text_message" textarea but rather in the "message" textarea. Code: function formatText(el,tag){ var selectedText = document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:el.value.substring(el.selectionStart,el.selectionEnd); if(selectedText!=''){ var newText=''+tag+''+selectedText+''+tag+''; el.value=el.value.replace(selectedText,newText) } } This effects from this checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="bold1" name="bold1" onclick="formatText(message,'#28D')" checked="checked" > Could anyone please help me, I think I may have missed something somewhere, because it works if I point it back to "text_message" Hi, I have a requirement where, on a link, when the user clicks, the app should copy all browser favorites and write to a db (table that has two columns, one with fav name and one col for the website link).

Join Date Jun 2002 Location London, England Posts 18,371 Thanks 204 Thanked 2,573 Times in 2,551 Posts Have you tried using your error console (F12 key)? if(reg.test(email.value) == "") { should be if(!reg.test(email.value) { as test returns true or false. But form validation of the pattern if (document.formname.formfield.value == "") - that is blank or empty- is barely worthy of the name, and virtually useless, as even a single space, an X or a ? will return false, that is pass the validation. A proper name may only contain letters, hyphen, space and apostrophe. Numeric values, such as zip codes, phone numbers and dates, should be validated as such. Ditto email addresses (as you have done). This topic has been covered many times before in this forum. The use of with is strongly deprecated and is forbidden in strict mode, and alerts are long obsolete as a way of displaying a message to your users. And so is assigning a name to a form - it is allowed only for the sake of backwards compatibility. In short - you should rewrite your code to modern standards. hi, I am tring to display some texts in a textbox using \n to create a new line but it does not work.
