JavaScript - Text Box Submit Help!
Hi all,
Im pretty new to HTML and Javascript so please bear with me if Im not explaining my problem well! I am building a website at work which has 2 frames, a main frame and a smaller frame at the side. In the smaller frame I have a text box and search button which will locate and open documents thats name match the text input. Everything seems to be working fine, however I have 3 problems.... 1) How do I complete the search by clicking enter instead of clicking the search button? 2) How do I get the text box to reset/clear after I have submitted a search? At present the entered text remains after I have completed the search 3) Can I get the text box to be selected and be ready for text input when I click on the frame that contains this? As it stands I have to click on the text box itself before I can enter text! Sorry for all the questions! As I said im pretty new to this and learning as I go along, so if you can point me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated! Thanks Glen Similar TutorialsHi, I have a form that when you click submit gives a warning box asking if to continue code below Now when I type in the text field and press enter it doesn't submit nor does it pop up the warning box, how would I do this Code for submit button Code: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function submitMyForm() { var agree=confirm("ARE YOU SURE ?"); if (agree) return true ; else return false ; } // --> </script> Code: <form action="admin-delete.php" method="post" name="cp_delete" id="cp_delete"> <input type="text" name="cp_delete_bg" id="cp_delete_bg"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onclick="return submitMyForm()"/> </form> well title says it all i have a search form, and the default value is "enter text here" when the user click the submit button, i would like to check if the value of my text input is "enter text here" and if it is, then don't submit the form (popup a warning or something) how can i do that? thanks a lot! I have a very small script that simply displays a search box and redirects a user to a URL if they enter 29401 or 29455, else they go to a default page. The script works fine, but I cannot figure out how to make value="enter a zip code" in the input box so that it disappears when you click in the box. I also can't get the form to submit by pressing enter, you have to click "check". I can get all this working in straight HTML but the same won't work w/ javascript. Any help please? <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function zipValidate(){ val = document.zipForm.zip.value; switch(val){ case "29401": case "29455": document.location = 'http://www.gohere.com'; break; default: document.location = 'http://www.or-go-here.com'; break; } } </SCRIPT> <form name="zipForm" id="zipForm" method="post" action=""> <input name="zip" type="text" id="zip" maxlength="5" /> <input name="zipButton" type="button" id="zipButton" value="Check" onclick="zipValidate()" /> </form> This is probable very easy, I've tried with normal html and am unable to get my head around it. I would like to in some way replicate how a web browser works. I have a form entry field with a submit button at the top of the page. Under that I have an iframe. I copy the url http://www.bbc.co.uk into the entry field, click submit and the iframe updates with the website. Have looked around and haven't found anything similar. Code so far.... <form target="myURL"> <input type="text" name="goTo"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> <iframe src="" name="myURL" border="0" frameborder="0" width="768" height="354"></iframe> Thanks in advanced. Death = $Mill I have created some online software which uses form data to submit to another page. The problem is that I have other submit buttons in the same form which submit to different pages (depending on which button is pressed). The first submit button works fine but all the others only work once. Code: <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button1' onclick="wbform.action='page1.php'; target='mainFrame'; return true;"> <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button2' onclick="wbform.action='page2.php'; target='_blank'; return true;"> <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button3' onclick="wbform.action='page3.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;"> <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button4' onclick="wbform.action='page4.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;"> <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button5' onclick="wbform.action='page5.php'; target='_blank'; return true;"> <input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button6' onclick="wbform.action='page6.php'; target='_blank'; return true;"> Any ideas my friends? I've got the following 2 fields in my form: <input type="file" name="filename" id="filename" value="filename"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload Image" /> Now I want to hide both of them as soon as the submit button is pressed. Problem is that I'm a javascript noob and I can't find it with google :S Can someone help me? Hi all Is using the real form submit button a problem in any way? Can it actaully send a form when a person uses 'enter' in a text field. When I use this submit, it triggers my validation which is great. Code: <input type="submit" value="OnSubmit validate" /> However this way doesn't seem to trigger my validation although It may solve the above form send problem (if that realy exists). How do I get it to act the same as real submit so it will trigger validation like onsubmit above? Code: <input type="button" value="Send Feedback" onclick="this.form.submit()" /> LT does any of that make sense? all ideas helpful and appreciated Hi all, I'm designing something to addon to an existing product. I'm struggling with some javascript problems. I want to submit a hidden field when you click on an image button, rather than it being an actual submit button. It's going to submit the value "1" to a PHP page, but I don't want it to actually have to GO to the PHP page, just submit it within the webpage. Is this possible? Thanks I am trying to auto submit a login form remotely using .submit() . It's submitting, but for some reason if I use submit() the login isn't processing. However, if I turn off the auto submit and use an actual submit button it logs in just fine. Now, in the form tag there is a call onsubmit for some validation, does .submit() trigger that form onsubmit="" function? Is there something that happens differently when a user clicks a button verses the .submit(). Thanks! Paul As of right now I have a code that will work in IE but wont work in FireFox...go figure. Basically what I want to have happen is when you type in an area code it will provide an output in a predetermined area of the page. For Example: Input- 512 Output - Austin, TX The code that I have doesn't work with firefox and I was just wondering if there was a code that would allow that to happen. Thanks! Hi, I have a form with 9 text fields and a text area. What I want to do is replace the text in the text area depending on how many fields contain text. For example my text boxes are named 1 to 9, if the user enters text in the first five boxes I want the text area to auto fill with 'you have selected boxes 1 to 5' if the user selects all nine it will say 'you have selected 1 to 9', therefore, the user must complete the text boxes in order. I have it working with an onchange event but i have a button on the form to also auto fill the text boxes and it does not work if this is clicked. Any help would be appreciated! Hi all, Thanks for reading. I'm having an issue trying to accomplish the following - I have a text field (field1) already displayed on the HTML page. However, there's a link where you can add additional text fields to the page as well. When the link is clicked, the second text field is added successfully (field2), and when the link is clicked again, the third text field (field3) is added successfully. However, the third field does not add itself to the page, and the text for anything greater than a third field also isn't displayed after. This obviously means that my "fields" variable is not working right, so I'm wondering, would anyone be able to assist me to help me get that variable processing correctly? Code: <script language="javascript"> fields = 1; function addMore() { if (fields = 1) { document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field2' size='25' /> <span>Field 2.</span>"; fields = 2; } else if (fields = 2) { document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='field3' size='25' /> <span>Field 3.</span>"; fields = 3; } else { document.getElementById('addedMore').innerHTML = "Only 3 fields are allowed."; document.form.add.disabled=true; } } </script> Here is the code in my HTML - Code: <input type="text" name="field1" size="25" /> <span>Field 1.</span> <div id="addedMore"></div> <p class="addMore"><form name="add"><a onclick="addMore()">Add another field.</a></form></p> Thank you very much. Hi, I have a form setup so that selecting a radio button opens a specific text field. The problem is if the user starts to enter information, then switches to a different radio button (perhaps they chose the wrong radio to start), the text they already started to enter on the previous textfield doesn't get cleared. This will be a problem later when inserting to sql. Here is a summary of the code: Code: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function doClick(objRad){ if (objRad.value=="0"){ document.getElementById("textbox").style.display='block'; } else{ document.getElementById("textbox").style.display='none'; } if (objRad.value=="1"){ document.getElementById("textbox1").style.display='block'; } else{ document.getElementById("textbox1").style.display='none'; } if (objRad.value=="2"){ document.getElementById("textbox2").style.display='block'; } else{ document.getElementById("textbox2").style.display='none'; } } </script> </head> <body> <form action="insert.php" method="post"> <p>Please choose the business type: <input type="radio" name="rad" value="0" onclick="doClick(this)"> Sole Proprietorship <input type="radio" name="rad" value="1" onclick="doClick(this)"> Partnership <input type="radio" name="rad" value="2" onclick="doClick(this)"> Corporation <div id="textbox" style="display:none"> <input type="text" name="txt"> This is my sole proprietorship info.</div> <div id="textbox1" style="display:none"> <input type="text" name="txt"> This is my partnership info.</div> <div id="textbox2" style="display:none"> <input type="text" name="txt">This is my corporation info. </div> </form> </body> Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance! Hello. I have a textarea where user can select a text then copy to clipboard (using EditArea script for highlighting) I need append additional information to the selected text so it won't be visible in the textarea, but only appear after copied to clipboard. For example: Code: text line one text line two text line three user selected word "two", hit CTRL+C to copy into clipboard (or used browser's context menu), but in clipboard it should be saved as: "selected word 'two'" What would be the approach? Thank you. Hi. I have developed a form all working fine but am struggling on the following. I need a checkbox for an item, when the checkbox is true the user can enter text in a text box, only if the checkbox is ticked. I have numerous items I need for this. Hope someone can help. Thanks Hi, Here's a sample form: Code: <form action="#" method="post"> Name:<br /> <input type="text" name="name" value="your name" /><br /> E-mail:<br /> <input type="text" name="mail" value="your email" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Send"> </form> When you tab to a text input, the value gets highlighted. How can it be disabled? Any help is appreciated! Mike im clueless when it comes to javascript, but this is what im trying to find: i have a page that has multiple text areas, i also have 4 links that when clicked i want to add some predefined text into the active text area the one with the text cursor in? The Hyperlinks: Code: <a href="#sc">Shift Changed</a> | <a href="#ol">On Leave</a> | <a href="#ot">OverTime</a> | <a href="#ss">ShiftSwap</a> The textareas: PHP Code: <td><textarea name=details$i rows=4 align=absmiddle cols=16 value="$details[$i]\">$details[$i]</textarea></td> as you can see the textareas are created on the fly based on a php array. would anyone be willing to put some code together for this? or even give me the basics on how i can get the active textarea's name so i can pass that to a script that inserts into a given field? Hi, I'm hoping this will be an easy one for you experts out there. I am working on a convention registration form. What I'm trying to do is have the text "50.00" pop into the COST field when any text (even if it's only one character) is entered into the NAME field. If the text in the NAME field is deleted, the "50.00" should also be deleted. Does anyone have a script that does this? Thanks! Hello there, this is my first post on this forum. I have learned a good bit of PHP and have implemented it for use in my work as a math tutor. My kids are telling me, however, that it is too inconvenient to hit tab or click on the next text box and would prefer to use the old style pencil and paper. I thought of a good idea: Javascript would be able to automatically focus the curser on the next text box if some condition was met. For example: 6+7. If the textbox reads 13, it will focus on the next text box. Otherwise, nothing happens. This kills three birds with one stone; the user will know if they got the question right or wrong and it will move automatically if they got it correct. The problem is I lack any real JavaScript wisdom. I would guess this would be quite simple. The closest thing I have found upon searching was this from the user requestcode, but this has to do with once the user has typed in 4 characters it moves automatically. Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function nextbox(fldobj,nbox) { if(fldobj.value.length>3) {document.forms[0].elements[nbox].focus()} } </SCRIPT> </head> <body onLoad="document.myform.txt1.focus()"> <CENTER> <FORM NAME="myform"> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="txt1" SIZE="4" MAXLENGTH="4" onKeyUp="nextbox(this,1)"> Thank you for the help. I have a basic understanding of Javascript, and I have posted here before. And my question is rather simple. I work for a company that moderates a virtual world. We have a mod tool but its kind of goofy. We have to edit a URL and then send the URL in a browser. It's a long and boring process. I am looking to have a basic form that puts all the required information together and submits it. What I can't figure out is how to submit a URL in javascript but not load it in a new window. This is a sample of what I currently use in another javascript used by the company: Code: theReport = replace(theReport,'\n','<br>'); var disp_setting="toolbar=no,location=no,directories=yes,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=480, height=640, left=400, top=0"; var docprint=window.open("","",disp_setting); docprint.document.open(); docprint.document.write('<html><head><title>Report Generator</title>'); docprint.document.write('</head><body>'); docprint.document.write(theReport); docprint.document.write('</body></html>'); docprint.document.close(); docprint.focus(); |
