I have a form with 3 fields:
<form id="book-form">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter a title">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="author">Author</label>
<input type="text" name="author" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter the author of the book">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="isbn">ISBN#</label>
<input type="text" name="isbn" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter the book isbn">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Add Book to store</button>
</form>
Here are I am retrieving the value of these fields that I will insert in their respective span in the html.
const title = document.getElementsByName('title')[0].value
const author = document.getElementsByName('author')[0].value
const isbn = document.getElementsByName('isbn')[0].value
Now I have three span tags where the value of these form fields are suppose to be inserted.
<span class="title">// the value of title</span>
<span class="author">// the value of author</span>
<span class="isbn">// the value of isbn</span>
Now I have a function that checks if the retrieve from the fields of the form is not empty(null) if that is the case I want to remove the span that is was suppose to be in the dom.
function insertMe(fieldValue) {
if (fieldValue === "") {
// How to remove the span that it was suppose to go
} else {
return fieldValue
}
}
It's not clear how you're calling insertMe, and the name of that function is misleading because you're only removing elements, not adding them.
I'd approach it this way.
When the button is clicked/onSubmit call the function and use querySelectorAll to target all the inputs by class. Iterate over them and if the value is an empty string remove the span whose class matches the name of the input, otherwise set the text content of the span to the input value.
const button = document.querySelector('button');
button.addEventListener('click', handleClick, false);
function handleClick() {
const inputs = document.querySelectorAll('.form-control');
inputs.forEach(({ name, value }) => {
const el = document.querySelector(`span.${name}`);
if (el && !value) {
el.remove();
} else {
el.textContent = value;
}
});
}
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="title" placeholder="Enter a title">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="author" placeholder="Enter an author">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="isbn" placeholder="Enter an ISBN number">
<button>Click</button>
<br/><br/>
<span class="title">Title</span><br/>
<span class="author">Author</span><br/>
<span class="isbn">ISBN</span><br/>

Struggling to get all my input fields to work as intended.
The first field is working as it should but i want the phone input to change the phone_field to change as well.
How do i go around making this work with multiple fields?
<div class="formBox">
<label for="full_name">Fullt navn</label>
<input name="name" type="text" id="fullname" />
</div>
<div class="formBox">
<label for="phone">Tlf:</label>
<input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" />
</div>
<div class="formBox">
<label for="email">Epost:</label>
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" />
</div>
<div>
<h3 id="full_name_field">Ola Normann</h3>
</div>
<p id="phone_field">+47 123 12 123</p>
const input = document.querySelector('input');
const name = document.getElementById('full_name_field');
input.addEventListener('input', updateValue);
function updateValue(e) {
name.textContent = e.target.value;
}
You could have a function that updates phone_field and fires when a key is pressed in phone:
HTML:
<input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" onkeydown="updatePhoneField"/>
JS:
function updatePhoneField() {
phoneVal = document.getElementById("phone").value;
document.getElementById("phone_field").innerHTML = phoneVal;
}
Found a solution that works ( for now ) probably not ideal and not the best way to do it but!
const input1 = document.getElementById("fullname");
const output1 = document.getElementById("full_name_field");
document.getElementById('fullname').onkeyup = function () {
"use strict";
document.getElementById('full_name_field').textContent = this.value}

I am creating a HTML form in which I need to create a 'add more' button so another field appears. Any help would be appreciated
This isn't possible in pure HTML, but it can easily be achieved using javascript!
Basic example
In the basic example, you have one input field. When you click the add field button an extra input gets added after the last inserted input.
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
$('<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">').insertAfter('.input:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
Copy value
This example is almost the same as the example above with one difference. It copies the value of the previous input. This is done with help of the JQuery .val() method
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
let value = $('.input:last').val(); // gets the value of the previous input
$('<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="' + value + '">').insertAfter('.input:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input type="text" class="input" name="field[]" value="">
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
Input groups
You could also copy an entire input group with multiple input fields.
$(document).on('click', '.add_field', function() {
$('<div class="input-group"><input type="email" class="input" name="email[]" value="" placeholder="Your email"><input type="password" class="input" name="password[]" value="" placeholder="Your password"></div>').insertAfter('.input-group:last');
})
form {
padding: 20px;
}
input {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.input-group {
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
padding: 5px 0;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="email" class="input" name="email[]" value="" placeholder="Your email">
<input type="password" class="input" name="password[]" value="" placeholder="Your password">
</div>
</form>
<button type="button" class="add_field">Add field</button>
If you need any more examples please leave a comment!
Please try instead,
$(".Addmore").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// make a separation line
$("#FormItems").append('<hr width="300px">');
// append the input field as your needs
$("#FormItems").append('<input name="user" type="text" placeholder="Username"><br>');
$("#FormItems").append('<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email Address">');
});
.formwrapper{
text-align:center;
}
input{
padding:3px;
margin-bottom:5px;
display:inline-block;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="formwrapper">
<form>
<div id="FormItems">
<input name="user" type="text" placeholder="Username"><br>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email Address">
</div>
<input type="button" value="Add More" class="Addmore">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
In a few lines of js and html you can get that :
<button class="add-input">Add one more input</button>
<form action="." method="GET">
<div class="inputs">
<input type="text" name="text[]">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script>
const addButton = document.querySelector('button.add-input')
const inputDiv = document.querySelector('form .inputs')
addButton.addEventListener('click', ()=>{ // button to add the inputs
let newInput = document.createElement('input')
newInput.name = 'text[]' // add the name of the input
newInput.type = 'text' // add the type of the input
// you can add other attributes before appeding the node into the html
inputDiv.appendChild(newInput)
})
</script>
and you will have this as a result (I used php to prompt the result)
you can add as many input you want/need.
Next step is just doing some css
I hope this is, what you mean
<form>
<input type="text">
<input type="submit" value="cta">
</form>
<button>Add More</button>
<script>
document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
let field = document.createElement('input');
// change field however you'd like
document.querySelector('form').insertBefore(field, document.querySelector('form:last-child'));
})
</script>
You cannot create this using HTML only, you will need javascript. You could use a frontend framework like react.js to make life easy.
For example in react, you could bind an onclick listener on the button and maintain an array of values as state. Use this array to map value to your input. Whenever user clicks the button, you can then simply push a defaultValue to the array and react will handle the rest.
Import React, { useState } from 'react';
const Page = ()=>{
const [ arr, setArr ] = useState([""]);
const handleAdd = ()=>{
setArr([...arr, ""]);
};
return <form>
{arr.map((elem, index)=><input
onChange={ //"implement logic to update value stored in array" }
value={elem}
key={index} /> )}
<button onClick={()=>handleAdd()}>Add</button>
</form>
}
Using Bootstrap and jquery
Only in html is not possible, you need some on click event to trigger the functionality that may change the html dom.
You can use vanilla javascript as well, here is example using jquery library.
It will dynamically add and remove the element
index.html

var removeButton = $(removeBtn);
$(addto).after(newInput);
$(addRemove).after(removeButton);
$("#field" + next).attr('data-source', $(addto).attr('data-source'));
$("#count").val(next);
$('.remove-me').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var fieldNum = this.id.charAt(this.id.length - 1);
var fieldID = "#field" + fieldNum;
$(this).remove();
$(fieldID).remove();
});
});
});
The idea is to return an error message to each field, changing the original requied message of jquery. The way I'm doing it, returns: "The true field is required."
function addRequired() {
var container, inputs, index, input;
// Get the container element
container = $('#entityFields');
// Find its child `input` elements
inputs = container.find('input').not("#EntityWebsite, #EntitySocialMoney");
for (index = 0; index < inputs.length; ++index) {
input = inputs[index];
input.required = true;
$.validator.messages.required(input.labels[0].innerText);
}
}
$.validator.messages.required = function (label) {
var requiredMessage = "The " + label + " field is required."
return requiredMessage ;
}
My html is something like this:
<div class="modal-body">
<div id="seriesTab" class="tab-pane">
<div id="entityFields" class="form-row">
<label>Entity</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
<label>Address:</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
<label>Email:</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
<label>Phone:</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
<label>Website:</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
<label>SocialMoney:</label>
<input type="text" columnDivClass="col-md-6 form-group">
</div>
</div>
</div>
input do not have label property. To fetch label which is before input then you can use input.previousElementSibling.innerText. So your updated code would be like below.
$.validator.messages.required(input.previousElementSibling.innerText);
Alternatively if you wish to use jquery then you can find text from previous label with $(input).prev('label').text()
$.validator.messages.required($(input).prev('label').text());
I want to know how I can check if input name is equal to name inside an array.
I have multiple inputs like below code:
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="first_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="last_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="email" value="">
</div>
And I have an array Like this:
var array = ['last_name', 'email'];
I want to add class to div, that wrap the input his name inside the array.
I don't want to use 2 loops.
You can use the following code:
var inputs = $("input");
var array = ['last_name', 'email'];
inputs.each(function(){
if(array.indexOf($(this).attr("name")) >= 0){
alert($(this).attr("name")+" exists");
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="first_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="last_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="email" value="">
</div>
The HTML to the code is same as used by you in your question, I have added a bit of JQuery, that is simple to understand.
I hope it was helpful.
check output in browser console:
$(document).ready(function() {
var array = ['last_name', 'email', 'dsfdsfds'];
array.forEach(function(element) {
var x = document.getElementsByName(element);
console.log(x);
});
});
//check output in browser console
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="first_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="last_name" value="">
</div>
<div class="inputMain">
<input name="email" value="">
</div>
there is your solution :)
$(document).ready(function() {
var array = ['last_name', 'email'];
var inputs = $("div[class='inputMain']").find("input");
array.forEach(function(name) {
inputs.each(function (x){
if (inputs[x].name === name) {
inputs[x].parentNode.classList.add("myClass")
}
});
});
console.log(inputs.prevObject);
});

you can check result into browser console :)
Ok, so I am trying to push the value of an HTML form input to a JavaScript array. When I load the page and submit values through the form, it returns empty strings in the array. I don't understand why this is happening. Thank you for your help.
Relevant HTML:
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name1">Name: </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control b" id="nameone">
<label for="pref1">Preferences: </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control a" id="prefone"> </div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name2">Name: </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control c" id="nametwo">
<label for="pref2">Preferences: </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control a" id="preftwo"> </div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name3">Name: </label>
<input type="text" class="form-control d" id="namethree">

<input type="text" class="form-control a" id="preffour"> </div>
<!-- ... -->
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="sbm">Submit</button>
</form>
Relevant JavaScript:
var table1 = [];
var table2 = [];
var table3 = [];
var table4 = [];
var names = [];
var pref = [];
// ...
function namesdefine() {
names.push(document.getElementById('nameone').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwo').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namethree').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namefour').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namefive').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namesix').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameseven').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameeight').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namenine').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameten').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameeleven').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwelve').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namethirteen').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namefourteen').value);

names.push(document.getElementById('namesixteen').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameseventeen').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nameeighteen').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('namenineteen').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwenty').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwentyone').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwentytwo').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwentythree').value);
names.push(document.getElementById('nametwentyfour').value);
console.log(names);
var testvar = document.getElementById('nameone').value;
console.log(testvar);
console.log("Look here please");
}
document.getElementById('sbm').onclick = namesdefine();seat(document.getElementsByClassName('a').value);check();changeHTML();
console.log(table1);
console.log(table2);
console.log(table3);
console.log(table4);
console.log("second call");
You're calling the namesdefine() function when you assign to .onclick. You should be assigning the function to .onclick, so leave out the () after it.
document.getElementById('sbm').onclick = namesdefine;
Either use:
document.getElementById('sbm').onclick = namesdefine;
Or
document.getElementById('sbm').addEventListener('click', namesdefine);
If you need to call them all, use this:
document.getElementById('sbm').onclick = function () {
namesdefine();
seat(document.getElementsByClassName('a').value);
check();
changeHTML();
}
And it's always a good practice to check for null after getElementById()
Try to get your data in a loop.
You can use getElementByTagName or getElementByClassName.
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("input")
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
//Create array here arr.push(elements[i].value);
}
You can call that in your click function.
Hope that helps.
