JavaScript - How To Get The Dynamically Created Text Box Values

I have the following code which adds a dynamically created textbox to a form:

Code:

function addarow() {
if (count > 5) {return false}
count ++;
 addbox = '<input type = "text" name = "txt1" id = "txt1" class = "box">'; 
document.getElementById("boxes"+count).innerHTML = addbox + "<br>";
}

I am having difficulties in assigning different names/ids to the sequential textboxes, that is "txt"+count to give txt1, txt2 etc.

Your assistance will be much appreciated.

I'm having an issue adding focus() to an input that is dynamically created with jquery. I'm still learning, so I've mixed in traditional js with my jquery code because it's easier for me to understand. Anyhow document.getElementById(name).style.backgroundColor="#72A4D2"; successfully changed the background of the input ID, but document.getElementById(name).focus(); does nothing. I know that this is the correct code because if I hard code an input into the form (which you can see I've commented out below, such as
document.getElementById('password').focus(); it refocuses successfully on that input. Thus I'm stumped yet again.

Anyone know how to deal with this issue?

JS:
Code:

 
$(function() {

	var i = $('input').size() + 1;

	$('a.add').click(function() {
							  
		$('<p>Username ' + i + ': <input type="text" id="user' + i + '" name="user' + i + '" onblur="javascript:checkl(this.name, this.value);"></p>').animate({ opacity: "show" }, "slow").appendTo('#inputs');
		

		i++;
	});
});

function checkl(name, value){
	var errors=new Array();
	var x; 
  	var msg = "There were some problems...\n";
	
	if (value==="") {
  	errors['blank'] = "Field must not be blank";
	}
  
  	for (x in errors)
 	 {
	  msg += "\n"+errors[x];
  	 }

 	 if (!(x==undefined)){ 
  	alert(msg); 
	document.getElementById(name).style.backgroundColor="#72A4D2"; //works, changed input background successfully
	document.getElementById(name).focus(); // does NOT work, no focus
	// document.getElementById('password').focus(); // successfully refocuses on hard coded 'password' input
	}else{
	document.getElementById(name).style.backgroundColor="";
	}
}

HTML:
Code:

<a href="#" class="add" id="1"><img src="add.png" width="24" height="24" alt="add" title="add input" /></a> 
<form id="target" name="target" action="post.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(this);">
<div id="inputs">
<!-- dynamically created inputs here -->
</div>

<!-- Password: <input type="password" id="password" name="password" size="10"> -->
<input type="submit" value="Send">

</form>

Hi,

This is my first time here so I hope I'm not posting to the wrong forum. If this has been answered before, please direct me to the corrent post.

I've created several dynamic checkboxes with with following code:

<code>
var pnl = document.getElementById("pnlSalesPeople");

for (i = 0; i < sales.length; i++)
{
var ck = document.createElement("input");

ck.type = "checkbox";
ck.id = "ck" + i;
//ck.checked = true;

var label = document.createElement('label');
label.htmlFor = ck.id;
label.id = "label" + i;
label.appendChild(document.createTextNode(sales[i]));

pnl.appendChild(ck);
pnl.appendChild(label);
pnl.appendChild(document.createElement('<br />'));
}
</code>

All the checkboxes get put into the panel, one per line, as expected. However, clicking on any of them does not change their checked state--if I uncomment the line setting the state above, all the checkboxes are checked, but they don't become unchecked when clicking on them.

I'm thinking I'm missing something that will make these checkboxes behave like they should or my approach to dynamic creation is flawed. In any event, my knowledge of Javascript is certainly not at expert level so I'm hoping there might a simple solution to my dilemma. Any help on this is genuinely appreciated. TIA

Hi. I've dynamically created some divs, how do I select a specific div to use?

Code:

//create box for length of letters in word
		var i = 0;
		for(i=0;i<wL;i++){		
			cBoxes = document.createElement("div");
				cBoxes.className = "letterBoxes";
						hangMan.appendChild(cBoxes);
				}

So I'm creating the amount of divs equal to the amount of letters in my word (I'm making a hangman game).

On correct guess, I need the letter to show in it's correct position (within the correct blank div previously created).

I have the correct position stored in a variable (letPos), and the correct guess (userGuess), I need to show userGuess at the div equal to letPos, ie div 4 or div 5, etc.

If I simply go cBoxes.innerHTML = userGuess, the correct userGuess always shows at the last position in my cBoxes divs. I need it to show at the correct position (letPos).

Any hints?

im trying to create a script for greasemonkey (tried getting help from their discussion forums, but no one ever answers), but its still written in javascript.

so here is what im trying to do. Ive got a dynamically created division that aligns to the right of the browser window. Now im trying to put links inside it as you normally would with like a document.write statement or other methods.
The only problem is, any method i try wont work for me.

heres my code, maybe someone could give me some things i could try.
Code:

function QuickLinks() 
{ 
	var body = document.body;
	var div2 = document.createElement("div");
	div2.setAttribute('class','QL');
	div2.setAttribute('style','background-color: #692510;width: 200px;height: 500px;top: 2cm;position: absolute;right: 5px;z-index: 4;');
	var links = document.createTextNode("where i want my links"); //now with that statement it just writes text, ive tried document.write and many other methods and nothing seems to work.
	div2.appendChild(links);  //this just inserts the links into the div.
	body.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
	body.appendChild(div2);
}

QuickLinks();

Hi all,

I have a set or icons that which over time I replace with a different icon and and add a onclick event to them. This is my code

Code:

function updateStatusIcons(retText) {
	updatingStatuses = true;
	var updates = retText.split("|");

	for (z=0; z<updates.length; z++) {
		var sysId = trim(updates[z].split(":")[0]);
		var projectId = trim(updates[z].split(":")[1]);

		if (projectId != "") {
			var statusImg = getSysidsImg(sysId);
			statusImg.src = "images/tick.gif";
			statusImg.className = "hand";
			statusImg.title = "Project "+ projectId +" created, Click here to find in project search";
			statusImg.onclick = function () { document.location = "projectSearch-FTTC.jsp?initAction=loadproject&projectId="+ projectId; };

			// Remove sysid from csv
			removeSysidfFromCSL(sysId);
		}
	}


	if (pollingOn) {
		pollingupdate = setTimeout("checkForProjectComplete()", 5000);
	}
	updatingStatuses = false;

	if (runErrorFunction) {
		markErrors();
	}
}

Everything works fine except for the onclick event. In the hover message of the icon, the correct project ID is displayed in the message, hoever in the function, the onclick funtion always loads the page with the last set project id. How can I pass the project id into the onclick function and make it stay fixed and not be the value of that it was last set to?

TIA,
Dale

Below I have dynamical generated radio buttons, the names($approve variable is the name) per radio button pairs are different(dynamically created names using looping). When I create two buttons, one is for if you click it, all the radio button with the label approve will be selected all, and the other button is for the disapprove label button that will select the radio button with the label disapprove. How can I make this right. Below are the codes I created. Thanks


Code:

<script>
function selectAll() 
{
   var i = 0;

 objElems = document.t4.elements;
 for(i=0;i<objElems.length;i++){
 objElems[i].checked =true;
   }
</script>

PHP Code:
<form action="viewall.php" method="post" name="t4">
while(condition)
{
echo "<td ><input type='radio' name='". $approve."' id='app' value='approve' /> Approve<br />   </td> 
        <td ><input type='radio' name='". $approve."' id='disp' value='disapprove' /> Disapprove<br />   </td> ";
}


<tr><td><input type="button" name="all_app" value="Select All Approve" onclick="selectAll(this.value);" ></td>
<td><input type="button" name="all_app2" value="Select All disapprove" onclick="selectAll(this.value);" ></td>

I'm building a t-shirt shop whose interface includes a gallery of designs in an IFrame. When the user clicks on a design, a dedicated page is loaded into the IFrame which shows all the available products associated with the design the user clicked.

I've put each design's image and associated page as the first and second elements of a nested array, and am using a for loop to then load all the images into the page that's shown in the IFrame when the web-site loads. It's looking beautiful, but here's the rub I've been stuck on for two days now with no solution in sight...

The array, "designImages", has 37 elements (ie. designImages[0]... designImages[36]). When I click on a design image on the page, any design image, the browser (all browsers, so I can't blame Microsoft for this one ), loads the page for design #36. I've tried all sorts of things, but still cannot tell if the issue is because the dynamically generated divs are being reassigned the value [36] after the for loop's executed, or if the div id's are okay but somehow the code is rooting for [36], the last element of the array anyway.

I need someone's help in enabling a click on #4 to load the page for #4, etc, etc. Here's the code below.

Thanks.

I'd like to create a basic form where 3 text input fields are named with the following names referrerId, referrerId2 & referrerId3.

My goal is once the text fields within the form are populated with the users data, then once the user clicks submit, a new browser window opens up (in parent window preferably), navigating to the following url exactly as shown. Highlighted in red is the dynamic information I'd like appended.

Vacation Packages &referrerId=FIRSTNAME&referrerId2=LASTNAME&referrerId3=AGENTNUMBER

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 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.

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.

Hello,

I am trying to get something to work and I am not having any luck.

I want to dynamically add a set of fields to a table when when the user onBlur the selection drop-down. I want the cursor to be in the text field of the newly added set.

I have been playing around with onfocus function on the hyperlink to see if when focus is gained, it would throw the user into the text field. I am getting the impress that the field has not been created yet, so the getElementbById function cannot find the object just recently created.

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=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function addEvent() {
  var ni = document.getElementById('myDiv');
  var numi = document.getElementById('theValue');
  var num = (document.getElementById("theValue").value -1)+ 2;
  numi.value = num;
  var divIdName = "my"+num+"Div";
  var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
  newdiv.setAttribute("id",divIdName);
  newdiv.innerHTML = '<div>'+ num +'</div><div class=name><input class=name id=item-' + num + ' type=text name=item-'+ num + '></div><div><select name=selRow-' + num + ' onBlur="addEvent();"><option value="0">Check</option><option value="1">Cash</option><option value="2">Money Order</option><option value="3">EFT</option></select></div>';
  ni.appendChild(newdiv);
}

function setTxtFocus()
{
  var ni = document.getElementById('myDiv');
  var numi = document.getElementById('theValue');
  var num = (document.getElementById("theValue").value -2)+ 2;
  document.getElementById('item-' + num).focus;
}

</script><style type="text/css">
@import url(style.css);
</style>
</head>

<body onload="addEvent();">
    <div id=image></div>
    <form action=process.php method=post>
    <input type="hidden" value="0" id="theValue" />
    <div id="myDiv"></div>
	<p><a href="javascript:;" onclick="setTxtFocus();">Add Other Suggestion</a></p>
    <p><input type=submit id="submitbutton" value=Submit disabled> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);return true;"></p>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Thanks

I'm using Kevin Roth's Cross-Browser Rich Text Editor JS component. Below is a demo.php script showing how it's created in JS.

I got it working fine but I now want to dynamically add new text to the component in my php script. I know how to setup the php part to initiate the new text load event but I can't figure out how to actually get the new text into the RTE component inside a JS function.

I tried this JS function but it didn't load in the new text in:

PHP Code:
function pre_canned_message_click()
{
  rte1.html = 'New string';
} 


In the demo.php below the RTE component is loaded the same way rte1.html = but in the JS function it doesn't work. I don't know what I'm missing here.

Thanks for any help...

echo var_dump($_POST);

var beforeBrac = textValue.substring(0,textValue.indexOf("<"));
alert("beforeBrac -----------"+beforeBrac );
var inbracket = textValue.substring(beforeBrac.length+1,textValue.indexOf(">"));
alert("inbracket -----------"+inbracket);
if(boxId = "1"){
inbracket = val;
}
alert("inbracket -----------"+inbracket);
var afterBrac = textValue.substring(textValue.indexOf(">"),textValue.length);
alert("afterBrac -----------"+afterBrac );

var fstr = beforeBrac +"<"+inbracket +afterBrac ;
