JavaScript - How To Auto Populate Form Fields
I have two slightly different forms on the same page, but I want the values in form1 to auto populate the same form fields in form2. 1 field is a text field, the rest are drop down menus. How would I accomplish this? Link to tutorial would be much appreciated. Thanks
Similar TutorialsHello All, I have a form where the number of input fields (lets call them B through N) is determined by the length of a php array. Above those input fields is another field (lets call this field input A) that I would like to be auto populated based on what the user enters in fields B through N. Here is my code. The first table (with all of the "totals" fields) holds all of the input fields that I would like to auto update. These fields should auto update so that every input in EACH of the "fy" fields in the second table is added together. Example: every input in the id="fy_{$fy.fy}_high_impact_cost" field should be added together as the user enters them, and the id="totals_high_impact_cost" field should be auto updated with that total. Code: <form method="post" name="submit" action="new_item.php" accept-charset='UTF-8'> <table border="box" width="100%"> <tr> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_high_impact_cost" size="3" name="totals_high_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_most_likely_impact_cost" size="3" name="totals_most_likely_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_low_impact_cost" size="3" name="totals_low_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_actual_expense" size="3" name="totals_actual_expense" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_high_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="totals_high_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_most_likely_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="totals_most_likely_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_low_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="totals_low_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_cost_in_scope" size="3" name="totals_cost_in_scope" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="totals_unfunded_threat" size="3" name="totals_unfunded_threat" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" />M</td> </tr> </table> {foreach value=fy from=$php_array} <table> <tr> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_high_impact_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_high_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.high_impact_cost}" onchange="update_totals_high_impact_cost()" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_most_likely_impact_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_most_likely_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.most_likely_impact_cost}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_low_impact_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_low_impact_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.low_impact_cost}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_actual_expense" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_actual_expense" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.actual_expense}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_high_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_high_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.high_mitigation_cost}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_most_likely_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_most_likely_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.most_likely_mitigation_cost}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_low_mitigation_cost" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_low_mitigation_cost" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.low_mitigation_cost}" />M</td> <td align="center">$<input id="fy_{$fy.fy}_cost_in_scope" size="3" name="fy_{$fy.fy}_cost_in_scope" maxlength="20" style="text-align: right" value="{$fy.cost_in_scope}" />M</td> </tr> </table> {/foreach} </form> Please email me at alexhall12315@yahoo.com if you would like more explanation. Thanks in advance for any help!!! =) Hi All! Thanks in advance to any and all who help me. What we are trying to do is have a form where customers can use a conditional logic based form that upon submission will redirect to checkout with an appropriate product bundle being populated in the shopping cart. I have some experience with creating forms, in fact I have made a decent form that I have modified from an online form builder... the problem is I have no idea how to auto-fill the shopping cart... period. From what I have read in my research this should be a function of Javascript. I have a decent working knowledge of php, and html, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to Javascript, if anyone could point me in the right direction for this project I would really appreciate it. I am working on a page where the user will select a location from a dynamically generated dropdown list. I was able to create the php multidimensional array (tested and working) from a MySql database using the users information at login, but I'm having problems converting it to a javascript multidimensional array. I need to be able to access variables that I can pass to a number of text fields within an html form. For instance, if a user belongs to a company with multiple addresses, I need to be able to let them select the address they need to prepopulate specific text fields. php array creation: Code: if ($row_locations) { while ($row_locations = mysql_fetch_assoc($locations)) { $mail[$row_locations['comp_id']]=array('mailto'=>$row_locations['mailto'], 'madd'=>$row_locations['madd'], 'madd2'=>$row_locations['madd2'], 'mcity'=>$row_locations['mcity'], 'mstate'=>$row_locations['mstate'], 'mzip'=>$row_locations['mzip'], 'billto'=>$row_locations['billto'], 'badd'=>$row_locations['badd'], 'badd2'=>$row_locations['badd2'], 'bcity'=>$row_locations['bcity'], 'bstate'=>$row_locations['bstate'], 'bzip'=>$row_locations['bzip']); } } javascript function - this should create the array and send variables to text fields. Code: function updateAddress() { var mail = $.parseJSON(<?php print json_encode(json_encode($mail)); ?>); { if (comp_id in mail) { document.getElementById('mailto').value=mail.comp_id.mailto.value; document.getElementById('madd').value=mail.comp_id.madd.value; document.getElementById('madd2').value=mail.comp_id.madd2.value; document.getElementById('mcity').value=mail.comp_id.mcity.value; document.getElementById('mstate').value=mail.comp_id.mstate.value; document.getElementById('mzip').value=mail.comp_id.mzip.value; } else { document.getElementById('mailto').value=''; document.getElementById('madd').value=''; document.getElementById('madd2').value=''; document.getElementById('mcity').value=''; document.getElementById('mstate').value=''; document.getElementById('mzip').value=''; } } } Where is this breaking? Thanks in advance. Hi, How can I auto populate the data by dropdown selected? and my dropdown result already appear as well, the code as following: PHP Code: <?php echo '<tr> <td>'.$customer_data.'</td> <td><select name="customer_id">'; foreach ($customers as $customer) { if ($customer['customer_id'] == $customer_id) { echo '<option value="'.$customer['customer_id'].'" selected="selected">'.$customer['name'].'</option>'; } else { echo '<option value="'.$customer['customer_id'].'">'.$customer['name'].'</option>'; } } echo '</select> </td> </tr>'; ?> and the result of dropdown above listed as admin customer1 FREE loaded from following db PHP Code: INSERT INTO `my_customer` (`customer_id`, `name`, `firstname`, `lastname`) VALUES (8, 'admin', '', ''), (6, 'customer1', 'ok', ''), (7, 'FREE', 'marj', 'om'); so whenever dropdown selected i want the all data below: PHP Code: <tr> <td><?php echo $firstname; ?></td> <td><?php echo $lastname; ?></td> </tr> also auto populate, it seem need javascript/ajax/jquery to fixed it, I was Wondering if someone could help me, and thanks in advance Ok so Im going to break down what Im trying to do and hopefully someone can point me to a possible solution without getting all technical. I have 2 div tags. the first is a content container more or less. the second is a container for a php built calender (using html tables). Basically when the page loads the php builds the calenders html table code. each td element has an onclick event handler. The goal is to have the javascript handler execute when any non empty cell is clicked (non empty being that it has a date associated with it and is not a blank space filler). This is the easy part. The hard part is that each calendar day potentially has certain information associated with it stored in a mysql database. Im wanting input fields within the first container div to autopopulate with the information from the database (if any) for whatever day is clicked. Ive search around and heard things like javascript cant do mysql queries directly, and heard mention of ajax. So im stumped as to how to accomplish this. whether i need an external php script for the queries (perhaps inside a php function that can return data to the javascript that calls it?), but if that is plausable would it cause page loads or the like to the user? i really dont want to have to learn ajax for this one page, just seems excessive, but i do need a way to make the content in the first div populate with the respective database data for the selected day on the calendar. any thoughts, comments, or solutions that dont involve yet another web language would be greatly appreciated. thanks
hello i am trying to fire a form which after the call to retrieve the data, populate the form with the data. i can see from firebug that the json data is being captured, but cannot seem to be able to populate the form with it. i am using a jquery plugin facybox, that opens the form, but the fields are blank. i have attached my code and would be grateful if someone could tell me where i am going wrong? many thanks js code Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function edit(com, grid) { if (com == 'Edit') { if($('.trSelected').length>0){ if($('.trSelected').length>1){ alert('Please select just one row'); return; } var items = $('.trSelected'); var itemlist =''; for(i=0;i<items.length;i++){ itemlist+= items[i].id.substr(3); } $.ajax({ type: "POST", dataType: "json", url: "tempcontact.php", data: "items="+itemlist, success: function(data){ document.getElementById('id').value = data.id; document.getElementById('email').value = data.email; $("#flex1").flexReload(); } }); /*and so on then you can call facybox*/ jQuery.facybox({ div: "#editform"}); } else{ alert('Please select a row to edit.'); } } } </script> form Code: <div id="editform" style="display:none;"> <form action="conedit.php" method="post" class="webform"> <fieldset> <legend><span>Update Contact</span></legend> <br /> <div id="dataText">Please delete the fields if there is no data 'No data to display'.</div> <label for="id">ID:</label> <input id="id" name="id" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="name">Full Name:</label> <input id="name" name="name" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="email">Email address:</label> <input id="email" name="email" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="phone">Telephone:</label> <input id="phone" name="phone" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="mobile">Mobile:</label> <input id="mobile" name="mobile" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="fax">Fax:</label> <input id="fax" name="fax" class="text" type="text" value="" /> <label for="notes">Notes:</label> <textarea name="notes" cols="25" rows="3"></textarea> </fieldset> <input class="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Update" /> </form> </div> Hi, I'm working on a menu update form. I'm pulling the existing data from mysql and posting it into a form, using php. This works fine. But now I want the user to be able to modify the data and perform and update query to the database with the changes. I cannot figure out how to get the modified php text box data into my html form text boxes so I can run an update query. I would be ok with a button that transfers the php text box data to the html form data. Hope this is clear what I'm trying to do, seems simple enough, but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for any ideas. I want to loop through a form containing various fields and replace them with values I have in a JS object. E.g. (1) <form id="theform"> <input type="text" name="field_1" value="" /> <input type="checkbox" name="field_2" value="" /> </form (2) object.field_1 = "Dave"; object.field_2 = ""; // empty as not checked, else holds value of checked one -- The problem is: what about checkboxes and <select> drop downs, and radios?? Is there a script like this around as I'm guessing this could be useful for Ajax to populate input boxes in some situations (depending on the content etc.) so I'm guessing I'm not the only one who needs this? This form collects info of the customer who wishes to select add-ons that would be applied to their digital photos. Examples of add-ons: Photo makeover Add object or person Crop image Have a look at the form Once a customer selects one of the options (Photo Manipulation or Photo Restoration for example - radio buttons) and then one or more Add-ons (check boxes in the Html form), enter their details and upload a photo, they hit the submit button and it then takes them to the PayPal checkout page where the total amount is shown. (see image below) The Issue: In the PayPal page, it now shows the total amount whichever add-ons you select, however it keeps showing "Add object or person" as well as all the 5 main options (radio buttons on the form) no matter what I select. This will be an issue as I will not know exactly which add-ons the customer has selected. Can someone please help me complete the coding so that the add-ons show on the PayPal checkout page. I look forward to your reply/replies. Kind Regards Rafi p.s: Could this be a possible solution? Even if it is, can someone help by completing the code? In order to send the options/add-ons the customer selects I may need to use the onX and osX variables (Where X is a number starting with 0 and incrementing by 1 see below), These can be used to set options for the add-onsthey select. The onO is the "option name" and os0 is the "option choice". So for example: <input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Photo manipulation"> <input type="hidden" name="os0" value="Whatever add-ons the customer selects"> <input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Photo restoration"> <input type="hidden" name="os1" value="Whatever add-ons the customer selects"> Hi all I have relatively easy task I need to accomplish but as per usual I have very little idea of how to do it. I have done a google search to no avail. Basically I need to: 1. Pull a value from inside a div Code: <div id="number">(invoice #1017)</span> 2. Populate a form input field with that value. Does this make sense? If not let me know if you need any more info. Thanks I would like to set up an image gallery so that when customer clicks on their chosen image, the image caption populates into the associated field in the form below the gallery, on the same page. Any way you know of to do this? I am not really a coder, I only know this and that, so examples or detailed instructions will be most helpful. Thanks very much.

Hi guys, I created a form that contains about 10 form fields and would like to add the option to dynamically add more sets of those 10 fields if a user clicks a word or a button but I need help. I'm a beginner when it comes to JavaScript and would appreciate any help. This is what I need to generate dynamically. Can someone give me an idea of how to get started please? Code: <div id="dynamicInput"> <ul> <li>1</li> <li><input name='textfield1' type='text' size='10' /></li> <li><select name='commodity' width='100' style='width: 100px'> <option>Option 1</option> </select></li> <li><input name='textfield2' type='text' size='5' /></li> <li><input name='textfield3' type='text' size='10' /></li> <li><input name='textfield4' type='text' size='10' /></li> <li><input name='textfield5' type='text' size='10' /></li> <li><input name='textfield6' type='text' size='5' /></li> <li><input name='textfield7' type='text' size='5' /></li> <li><input name='textfield8' type='text' size='5' /></li> </ul> </div> Here's what I have so far in my validation part. However, I need help as to how to validate the following fields when the user clicks the submit button. -Radio Button *title (4 options) *member (3 options) *vegetarian (2 options) -Drop down lists *regstartdate (3 options) *regenddate (3 options) *confdinner (2 options) *paymethod (3 options) -UK Post Code (text box with maxlength=8) My current code shows 1 popup with all the error messages. Here's what I have so far: Redacted Greetings experts, this is my first time here. So, please take easy on me. I have makup with 2 sections. The first section contains 5 form fields and are required. The second second has 2 form fields and are optional. Users can only choose from one section or the other but not both. The js script below ensures that if users select from section 2, section one will not challenge for validation and works a treat. The challenge I have now is to ensure that if users choose from section 1, the 2 form fields in section are automatically disabled so they won't be attempted to choose from it. Similarly, if users select from section 2, all form fields in section one are automatically disabled so they won't be tempted to choose from that section. Is this possible? If not possible, is it possible to raise an error? For instance, a user selects from section 1 and attempts to select from any of the 2 form fields in section 2, a message that says, "You can only select from one section but from both. Similarly if a user selects from section 2 first, same thing happens.
