I'm sorry if this is too simple of a question. I am trying to change all instances of & to and using the event-handler blur. I am seeming to get no changes on blur even if my function is simply
id.value = "Random test string";
so I am assuming this is a problem with the event handler itself. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I have the code for changing & commented out because I was checking to see if the function tied to the blur eventhandler was triggering at all, which it was not. This code also has an HTML file with a text box with an ID of textid
<script type="text/javascript">
//var for saving the string
var textvar;
//var for the texta area
var id = document.getElementById("textid");
id.addEventListener("blur", function() {
//textvar = id.value;
//textvar = textvar.replace("&", " and ");
//id.value = textvar;
textvar = "Correct!!";
id.value = textvar;
}, false);
</script>
This code is working fine and as expected:
<input type="text" id="textid" />
JS Code
//var for saving the string
var textvar;
//var for the texta area
var id = document.getElementById("textid");
id.addEventListener("blur", function() {
textvar = id.value;
textvar = textvar.replace(/\&/g, " and ");
id.value = textvar;
}, false);
You can find the working Pen here
You might want to consider this other approach:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function change(element) {
let textvar = element.value;
if (textvar.indexOf('&') !== -1) {
textvar = textvar.replace("&", " and ");
}
element.value = textvar;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" onblur="change(this)" />
</body>
</html>
I hope this could help.

I'm very new to JavaScript so I apologize if this question has an extremely obvious answer. What I'm trying to do is pass the name of a text box in HTML to a function in Javascript via an onclick button. The goal of the function is to test a given string and highlight it based on certain parameters (for my testing, it is simply length).
There are multiple weird odds and ends within the functions that I'm aware of and working on, I know the functions work as when I remove the parameters and call the code text box directly, it prints exactly what I expect it to. But I want to be able to pass multiple text boxes without needing a specific function per box.
The code I have is as follows. I've included all of it in case the mistake was made somewhere I didn't expect it to be.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<label for="wordOne">Word One</label><br>
<input type="text" id="wordOne" name="wordOne"><br>
// Pass the value for the wordOne textbox to verify function
<button type="button" onclick="verify(wordOne,this)">Check</button><br><br>
<label for="wordTwo">Word Two</label><br>
<input type="text" id="wordTwo" name="wordTwo"><br>
// Pass the value for the wordTwo textbox to verify function
<button type="button" onclick="verify(wordTwo,this)">Check</button><br><br>
<p id="test"></p><br>
<p id="error"></p>
<script>
// Highlights any code in a given line.
function highlight(text,id,begin,end) {
// document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "TEST";
var inputText = document.getElementById(id);
var innerHTML = inputText.innerHTML;
var index = innerHTML.indexOf(text)+begin;
if (index >= 0) {
innerHTML = innerHTML.substring(0,index) + "<span class='highlight'>" + innerHTML.substring(index,index+text.length) + "</span>" + innerHTML.substring(index + text.length-end);
inputText.innerHTML = innerHTML;
return string;
}
}
function verify(button,el){
var begin=1;
var end=1
var id="test";
var string = document.getElementById(button).value;
var len=string.length;
if(len>5)
{
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = string +" "+len;
highlight(string,id,begin,end);
}
else
{
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML = string;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
I apologize again if this is extremely obvious but I'm honestly not sure what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!
You can get the name of the textbox by the attribute
var x = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[0].getAttribute("name");
And then use it in your function as
var x = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")[0].getAttribute("name");
function highlight(x,id,begin,end) {
// document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = "TEST";
var inputText = document.getElementById(id);
var innerHTML = inputText.innerHTML;
var index = innerHTML.indexOf(text)+begin;
if (index >= 0) {
innerHTML = innerHTML.substring(0,index) + "<span class='highlight'>" + innerHTML.substring(index,index+text.length) + "</span>" + innerHTML.substring(index + text.length-end);
inputText.innerHTML = innerHTML;
return string;
}
}
NOTE : By [0] it means the first one that is the first textbox.
OK,so I am trying to pull some data from an api. The problem that I have run into is that I am able to find out the information that I am looking for, but am having trouble getting that information out of the console and onto my main index.html page.
Here is my JS code
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
$.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
console.log(info);
});
});
});
Here is my html code
<div id="search">
<h1>API Test</h1>
<input type="search" id="search-keyword">
<button id="myBtn">Try it</button>
</div>
<div id="results"></div>
By doing this, I am able to get pretty much what I am looking for. However I cannot get the data from the console to the actual page.
I have tried appendChild
var bob = document.getElementById(results);
var content = document.createTextNode(info);
bob.appendChild(info);
I have tried innerHTML
var theDiv = document.getElementById(results);
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
..and I have tried .append()
$('#myBtn').click(function() {
$(results).append(info)
})
I'm out of ideas. I realize that I probably have a small problem somewhere else that I am not seeing that is probably the root of this. Much thanks to anyone who can help me with this issue.
"results" needs to be in quotes with regular javascript and for jquery you have already decalred the results variable.
var theDiv = document.getElementById("results");
theDiv.innerHTML += info;
$('#myBtn').click(function(){
results.append(info)
})
Also since you are declaring results outside of your document ready call you have to make sure you html comes before the javascript.
<script>
var form = $('#search');
var input = $('#search-keyword');
var results = $('#results');
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myBtn").on('click', function() {
var symbol = $("#search-keyword").val();
var resultedData = $.getJSON("http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/quote/jsonp?symbol=" + symbol + "&callback=?", function(info) {
return info;
});
var resultDiv = document.getElementById("results");
resultDiv.innerHTML += resultedData;
});
});
</script>
i have written a javascript codefor autosuggest. i am getting autosuggest.but when i am selecting any autosuggested word.it's coming with html tag like this.:
if i am typing "w" in text box. then i am getting some autosuggested word if i select that word then on the text box it coming like w water,wall etc.
below is my code.:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<input name="txt" type="text" id="new"
placeholder="Please key in some text.">
<script type="text/javascript" src="autoComplt.js"></script>
<script>
var words =[];
function get_words(q,calbk)
{
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = "http://xxxx.poc.yyyyy.com/v1/xxx/suggest?authKey=baef7f8e39c53t6990f852c8a14b7f6018b58&q="
+ q + "&rows=8";
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
var data = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
var items = data.suggestions;
var words = items.map(function(item){return item.suggestion;});
console.log(words);
calbk(words)
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
var input = document.querySelector("input[name=txt]");
autoComplt.enable(input, {
hintsFetcher : function(v, openList) {
console.log("in")
get_words(v,openList)
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
how can i remove that html tag from the textbox.
You can convert an HTML string to text by inserting it into a DOM element and then asking for just the text back out. This will work in even older versions of IE:
function stripHTML(html) {
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = html;
return div.textContent || div.innerText;
}
Working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/tbnfnvv6/
You could use the DOMParser API : and look for the textContent of result returned :
var words = ["<b>w</b>hite out", "<b>w</b>ireless mouse", "<b>w</b>hite board", "<b>w</b>ater", "<b>w</b>ireless keyboard", "<b>w</b>ireless router", "<b>w</b>ireless printers", "<b>w</b>indow envelopes"]
var p = new DOMParser().parseFromString(words[Math.floor(Math.random()*words.length)], 'text/html').documentElement.textContent;
document.body.textContent = p;
( ps: change Math.floor(Math.random()*words.length) by the one being called on click in the clbk() function. )
I trying to generate an input (type="button") and setting the onclick-Event to a function, which should hand over a parameter. The whole object should be appended to a div and thats it. Basically this is my try, but I can't see why it does not work.
I pasted the code to jsfiddle, hence its easier for you to reproduce. Click here.
What am I'm doing wrong? I'm learning it by trial and error, so please explain whats wrong. Thanks a lot!
[edit] for the case jsfiddle will be down one day, here is the code I tried to run... :)
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>onclick event example</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var i = 0;
var h = new Array();
function addButton() {
i++;
var container = document.getElementById("check0");
var h[i] = document.createElement("input");
h[i].type = 'button';
h[i].name = 'number' + i;
h[i].value = "number" + i;
h[i].id = 'number' + i;
h[i].onclick = function() {
showAlert(i)
};
container.appendChild(h[i]);
}
function showAlert(number) {
alert("You clicked Button " + number);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="check0">
<input type="button" value="klick mich" id="number0" onclick="addButton()"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here is the fixed fiddle for you.
var h[i] = ... is invalid JavaScript.
What you write in the "JavaScript" frame on jsfiddle is executed onload, so this code is not yet present when the HTML you provide is executed (and neither is the addButton() function).
<script>
var i = 0;
var h = new Array();
function addButton() {
i++;
var container = document.getElementById("check0");
h[i] = document.createElement("input");
h[i].type = 'button';
h[i].name = 'number' + i;
h[i].value = "number" + i;
h[i].id = 'number' + i;
h[i].onclick = function() {
showAlert(i)
};
container.appendChild(h[i]);
}
function showAlert(number) {
alert("You clicked Button " + number);
}
</script>
<div id="check0">
<input type="button" value="klick mich" id="number0" onclick="addButton()"/>
</div>
Try using h.push(...) instead of trying to send to a non created element in the array
var x = document.getElementById('pagination');//pagination is an empty div in html
var y ='';
for(var i = 0; i <= (pageMax); i++){
y = y+"<a id ='pageNumber"+i+"' onclick='changePage("+(i+1)+");'>"+(i+1)+"</a>\n ";
} x.innerHTML=y }
i used this to make a pagination for a table. The function will create a row of numbers until button max. 'changePage("+(i+1)+"); ... will call a function and send the i index(number that the page is) of the pagenumber. also i dynamically create a id unique for each number.
This is an add-on to my previously answered question.
question 8423472
I have tried to implement a validate function to this wonderful code to no avail.
Looks like I need more hand holding here.
This script is a slightly modified version of the quite excellent answer I received from #Martin Jespersen.
The script takes a single column list of emails and breaks it up into textareas containing single row comma delimited lists of no more than 150 addresses. Nice.
Below works great but, I need to add a basic validation function.
<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>
function onpaste(e) {
var t = this;
var cnt='0';
setTimeout(function(){
var list = document.getElementById('t');
var emails= t.value.split(/\s+/), ta;
while(emails.length) {
cnt++;
ta = document.createElement('textarea');
ta.value = emails.splice(0,150).join(',').replace(/,\s*$/,'');
document.body.appendChild(ta);
}
document.getElementById('button1').value=cnt;
},1);
}
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById('t').onpaste = onpaste;
}
</script>
</head>
<BODY>
<p><textarea id="t" rows="10" cols="50" class="textarea"></textarea><br /></p><br />
There are <input type="button" id="button1" value="0"> textareas
<pre id="p" class="pre"></pre>
</body>
</html>
HOWEVER, the guy I made it for (actually #Martin made it) is not real meticulous about what he pastes into the textarea.
So, I am trying to implement a function that will reduce invalid emails / bad input.
I tried several ways including changing the onload event to a button in the page with onclick event.
I thought I was learning here but, I just can't wrap my brain around what I am doing wrong.
So, how can I insert this function, or just its' "validation" routine into one of the above functions?
function findEmailAddresses(StrObj) {
var separateEmailsBy = '\n';
var email = "<none>"; // if no match, use this
var emailsArray = StrObj.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/gi); // yeah could be better
if (emailsArray) {
email = "";
for (var i = 0; i < emailsArray.length; i++) {
if (i != 0) email += separateEmailsBy;
email += emailsArray[i];
}
}
return email;
}
Useage of findEmailAddresses function:
<textarea name=t rows=10 cols=50 onBlur="this.form.email.value=findEmailAddresses(this.value);"></textarea>
I tried calling the function individually in the functions above and even tried removing the function just inserting the code using "emails" instead of "this.value" in both cases. I even tried a two page approach. For some reason, I just can't implement this code into the working splitter. My results are either no effect or I break the thing.
Basically I tried many variations of inserting. Like below:
<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript type='text/javascript'>
function onpaste(e) {
var t = this;
var cnt='0';
setTimeout(function(){
var list = document.getElementById('t');
var emails= t.value.split(/\s+/), ta;
//
findEmailAddresses(emails);
// also tried inserting code from function. ///
while(emails.length) {
cnt++;
ta = document.createElement('textarea');
ta.value = emails.splice(0,150).join(',').replace(/,\s*$/,'');
document.body.appendChild(ta);
}
document.getElementById('button1').value=cnt;
},1);
}
window.onload = function() {
// tried to trigger it here as well and even added a new split //
document.getElementById('t').onpaste = onpaste;
}
/////
function findEmailAddresses(StrObj) {
var separateEmailsBy = '\n';
var email = "<none>"; // if no match, use this
var emailsArray = StrObj.match(/([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)/gi); // yeah could be better
if (emailsArray) {
email = "";
for (var i = 0; i < emailsArray.length; i++) {
if (i != 0) email += separateEmailsBy;
email += emailsArray[i];
}
}
return email;
}
////////
</script>
</head>
<BODY>
<p><textarea id="t" rows="10" cols="50" class="textarea"></textarea><br /></p><br />
There are <input type="button" id="button1" value="0"> textareas
<pre id="p" class="pre"></pre>
</body>
</html>
Much thanks to anyone who can assist.
Try putting return true; after your inline javascript.
