JavaScript - Form Field Focus
Is there a way to give an input or textarea field the focus and set the focus to begin right at the end of the current text in the field?
Similar TutorialsHi all, Please keep in mind: this is the first code I have ever written -- much of it with help from this forum and the skeleton from other corners of the JS community. Thanks! But now for the problem... I'm developing am income tax calculator, and everything is going swell. Currently the user can type in their adjusted gross income (AGI), hit submit, and learn the amount of income tax they would pay, their tax rate, and their income after tax. I've played around with the events to get the submit button to work in FF, IE, Chrome and Safari -- and I've gotten the enter button to work before with some stock code, but here's the catch: when the user presses enter, i want the focus to leave the input box. I don't care where it goes (submit button, I suppose?) but i need it to leave the input field so the onfocus="clearText(this);" event can fire when they return to type in a new income. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function TotalGrossPerYear() {
var Calc = document.NetIncome;
if (Calc.InputRad[0].checked) {
if ((Calc.AGI.value > 500000)) {

The fancybox window opens automatically when the page loads. When it loads, I would like it to set focus on the username field in the form in the Fancybox window. I have found that this must be done when fancybox is envoked, thus I have tried the below code which does not work : Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
$("#hidden_link").trigger('click');
document.getElementById('login_form.username').focus();
});
</script>
The form name is "login_form" and the field name is "username". Can anyone help???? Thanks a lot!!! I wish to have a form clear the default text from my form and allow the user to type in the field but if they move to another fields and do not enter anything in that fields they first went in to the fields restores to the default tetx that was in there before. i have name: tel: state: in the fields by default. i have heard this should be done using javascript can someone help me out here with some coding. i have tried to find it but only find ones that use on focus and for only one fields not multiple Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Hi I'm banging my head against this problem and I'd really appreciate some help. I think the problem is cause by my lack of understanding of how the browser (firefox 3.6.3) handles focus. A simplified version of my problem is: I've defined the function Code: function two_focus()
{
document.getElementById("two").blur();
alert("hello");
}
then in the body I have the form with two text boxes Code: <input id="one" type="text"><input id="two" type="text" onfocus="two_focus();"> When the page is loaded and I click in the second textbox I get the alert, all well and good. I OK the alert box, but when I click on box 1, or anywhere on the page for that matter, the function is called and the alert comes up. I just don't understand why the focus is being returned to the second box when I click anywhere in the browser window. Any comments will be gratefully received. Hi All, In my work here there is an application that has recently had a plugin coded up for it, the plugin allows custom message boxes to be opened up by the user when they roll on the help icons. The boxes open automatically and then close as soon as the mouse focus rolls off their box area. The boxes support java script content and html etc so can be very customised. I have coded a user form with various data capture fields. I would like the data in the fields to be reloaded if the user accidentally rolls off the box (as this will close it and the behavious cannot be changed :-<) I have used cookies and tested in browser and all the retreival and storage of the cookie data works fine. Problem is with this plugin app is that i cannot fit in the call to 'onload CheckForCookies()' anywhere - The boxes do not seem to appear as 'window opening events' so could anybody suggest a way of Adding the call to checkforcookies() into my form loading - that does not depend on a window opening event? There are four or five fields and i would like them all to update with whatever was last in them when the messagebox opens - it is not an api/ browser generated messge box, rather it is a custom web widget of some sort and i do not have access to the source code at this time. It is equally important to be able to create or refresh the cookie data for the fields when the user rolls off the box so they do not lose whatever info was typed in so far so i need to call like 'onunload SetAllCookies' Like i say i have the code to do the work, the problem is the functions are not being called as the behaviour of the little boxes does not trigger them as load / unload eventrs. I tested using 'onfocus' and this works but is nbo good as the user would only see the data they had 'lost' when they click on a field. I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (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;
}

How can I add a form field value to a url. I tried the below but it no work. Code: href="index2.php?q=4&id=+document.theForm.lists.value+&picklist" I need to learn how to clear form fields when a user clicks on them. Here is the site in question: http://www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca/apply They used to work, but then I changed the field value and now it doesn't work on some of the fields (whichever ones I changed). Here is a link to the .js file: http://www.yourvancouvermortgagebroker.ca/js/apply.js function checkValidFormInput() { if (document.getElementsByName('customerName').value != '') { document.getElementById('customerNameImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/greenTick.png">'; } else { document.getElementById('customerNameImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png">'; } if (document.getElementsByName('customerEmail').length > 0) { document.getElementById('customerEmailImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/greenTick.png">'; } else { document.getElementById('customerEmailImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png">'; } } Hi! I use the :: Form field Progress Bar from DynamicDrive: Form field Progress Bar Now I trided to change the text when the textarea is full "Limit:100%" to "Your max. characters is reached" I trided it but with no luck. This is the main code.. Code: <script type="text/JavaScript">
function textCounter1(field,counter,maxlimit,linecounter) {
// text width//
var fieldWidth = 137;
var charcnt = field.value.length;
// trim the extra text
if (charcnt > maxlimit) {
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
}
else {
// progress bar percentage
var percentage = parseInt(100 - (( maxlimit - charcnt) * 100)/maxlimit) ;
document.getElementById(counter).style.width = parseInt((fieldWidth*percentage)/100)+"px";
document.getElementById(counter).innerHTML="Limiet: "+percentage+"%"
// color correction on style from CCFFF -> CC0000
setcolor(document.getElementById(counter),percentage,"background-color");
}
}
function setcolor(obj,percentage,prop){
obj.style[prop] = "rgb(80%,"+(100-percentage)+"%,"+(100-percentage)+"%)";
}
</script>
This is the place where the text is set. Code: ((fieldWidth*percentage)/100)+"px"; document.getElementById(counter).innerHTML="Limiet: "+percentage+"%" Help would be highly appreciated ! greetings Jardin Hi there, I have a html form, and I need it so that when a user clicks a button, it adds a field into the form. I also need it to write <td></td> around the new field, and I need it to write this in a specific part row of a table. How would I go about doing this? I've tried searching for the past two hours, but no luck. Many thanks, I appreciate it, Jason I have a form which has various fields which are arrays (so the name of a field may be myField[]). The reason for this is that the form has add buttons to add another field or fields for the purpose of entering another email address, etc., to send invitations and do other things. The problem that I am running into is how to access the individual fields in an array of fields inside javascript to do form validation. So if I have an email address field name emailAddress[], and using the add button, the user of my site adds 3 other copies of the emailAddress[] field, I want to then do form validation onSubmit to ensure those email address are valid using standard procedures. However, inside the javascript code, how do I access the individual fields that make up emailAddress[]? I just cannot find anywhere online the proper way to get at these values. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Happy Holidays Hi all, I have a couple of functions, an add error function, if some validation is not met I add a message to a array holding error messages and mark the field red, I have no problem with that piece of code... Code: function addError(errorArray, formObj, message) {
errorArray[errorArray.length] = message;
if (formObj.options != undefined) {
formObj.parentNode.className = "error-field";
} else {
formObj.className = "error-field";
}
}
However I have an issue with the 2nd function, it takes in 2 variables, an id for a div which is displaying the error messages, and the form object, the issue I have is removing the error class. for some reason obj.className = '' fails to remove the class, getting the same object using getElementById() (name and id are the same) however if I construct the removing piece of js code as a String and execute it using eval it works... Code: function clearErrors(errorDivId, vForm) {
var errorDiv = document.getElementById(errorDivId);
errorDiv.innerHTML = "";
errorDiv.style.display = "none";
// remove red boxes
for (i=0; i<vForm.elements.length; i++) {
var obj = vForm.elements[i];
if (obj.type != "button" && obj.type != "hidden") {
if (obj.options != undefined) {
if (obj.parentNode.className == "error-field") {
obj.parentNode.className = "";
}
} else {
if (obj.className == "error-field") {
alert(obj.name);
obj.className == "";
alert(obj.className);
obj = document.getElementById(obj.name);
alert(obj);
obj.className == "";
alert(obj.className);
var jsExecuteCommand = "vForm." + obj.name + ".className = '';";
alert(jsExecuteCommand);
eval(jsExecuteCommand);
alert(obj.className);
}
}
}
}
}
I am so baffled? I have no idea why it won't work can anybody please explain what is happening please? Although I have a work around, I have been banging my head to get to this workaround and I just don't understand why the obj.className = ''; doesn't work. Thanks, Dale I have been staring at this code for too long and need some help. I want to pass a value received through the Url to another screen with new data by a form using the method="get". I have tried several different ways, my latest attempt was to use a hidden field hoping that would add to the url string but it isn't working.

Using the url test.html?a=john&b=doe I am using the following code: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function getUrlVars() { var map = {}; var parts = window.location.href.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi; function(m,key,value) { map[key] = value; }); return map; } var john=getUrlVars(map[a]); alert (getUrlVars(map[a])) alert (john) </script> I can't seem to get an alert to show me anything. The eventual result is not an alert, but a document.write to post the url contents to various form fields for firstname= and lastname= etc. I am really having a hard time using the document.write function, and am not sure how to employ it, whether in the same script statement or in a separate script in the body. I have some code that uses a form, and will check it and show an image. If you have/know a script that is simple, let me know! Otherwise, I'm wondering if someone who is proficient in JS/HTML could help me with this task. It's all coded, I just need some help with an error I am getting. Thanks, Blockis I have modified a free JS function from he http://www.tangorangers.com/examples...post/index.php To dynamically add text fields to the form. My work-in-progress version is he http://jimpix.co.uk/junk/test/6.html On the form, I have a hidden text field: Code: <input type="hidden" name="hiddenCount" value="" /> What I'd like to do is to increment the hiddenCount each time the "Add" fields button is clicked. This is the button: <input id="add_contact()" onclick="add_contact()" value="Add" type="button"> And this is the JS function: Code: var contact_counter = 0;
function add_contact()
{
if (contact_counter < 9)
{
contact_counter++;
var newFields = document.getElementById('add_contact').cloneNode(true);
newFields.id = 'contact';
newFields.style.display = 'block';
var newField = newFields.childNodes;
for (var i=0;i<newField.length;i++) {
var theName = newField[i].name
if (theName)
newField[i].name = theName + contact_counter;
}
var insertHere = document.getElementById('add_contact');
insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newFields,insertHere);
}
}
I'm new to JS. I could just about edit the JS function to slightly modify it from the tangorangers version (I only changed it v. slightly). To somehow increment the value in the hidden field each time the button is pressed is beyond me though! Any advice much appreciated. Thanks Hi. I have a form and if a field is blank a message pops up. This doesnt stop my php from running though and takes the user to another page. Is there a line to keep them on that page untill all fields are filled out? code so far is simple. <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> function nameempty() { if ( document.form.subject1.value == '' ) { alert('No name was entered!') return false; } } </script> //then down the bottom I have a small bit that implements that code |
