select only text fields from specified form jquery - javascript

I have a form and user can dynamically add some text-feild to this form by clicking on dropdown and choosing what he wants to add.
How to post only these text feilds to php script using jquery
code:
<form id="sms_frm" name="sms_frm">
<tr>
<td width="17%"><label>Http URL</label></td>
<td >
<div class='input-group'>
<div class='input-group-addon'>
<i class='fa fa-television'></i>
</div>
<input type='text' class='form-control' id='smsurl' name='smsurl' >
</div>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr id="element"></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class='input-group'>
<select name="sms_sel" class="form-control" style="margin: 10px" id="sms_sel">
<option value="username">UserName</option>
<option value="Password">Password</option>
<option value="APIKEY">APIKEY</option>
<option value="company">company</option>
<option value="Originator">Originator</option>
<option value="ServiceCode">ServiceCode</option>
<option value="sender">sender</option>
<option value="ServiceUrl">ServiceUrl</option>
<option value="ServicePassword">ServicePassword</option>
<option value="header">header</option>
<option value="OriginName">OriginName</option>
<option value="not">Not any of this</option>
</select>
</div>
</td>
<td><input type='text' class='form-control' id='vals' style="margin: 10px; float: right" name='vals' >
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
this is ajax code to send text fields to php script but it not working
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#sms_frm").submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault(); //prevent default action
var arrays=new array();
var number = $(' input[type=text]');
$('#sms_frm input[type=text]').each(function () {
arrays.push(this);
});
var form_data = $(this).serialize(); //Encode form elements for submission
$.ajax({
url : "Save.php?id=sms_api",
type: 'post',
data : arrays
}).done(function(response){ //
$("#res").html(response);
});
});
});
</script>
if user choose sender for example new text field with id ='sender' and name ='sender' will be append
I don't want to send the select item with ajax
I only want text fields

Please try this code this may work...
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="sms_frm" name="sms_frm">
<table id="text-table">
<tr>
<td width="17%"><label>Http URL</label></td>
<td>
<div class='input-group'>
<div class='input-group-addon'><i class='fa fa-television'></i></div>
<input type='text' class='form-control' id='smsurl' name='smsurl' >
</div>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr id="element"></tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class='input-group'>
<select name="sms_sel" class="form-control" style="margin: 10px" id="sms_sel">

</td>
<td>

</td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<script>
$('#sms_sel').change(function(e) {
var name=$(this).val();
var value=$('#vals').val();
$('<tr><td width="17%"><label>'+name+'</label></td><td><input type="text" sms="sms" class="form-control ss" id="'+name+'" name="'+name+'" value="'+value+'" ></td><td></td><tr>').insertBefore($(this).closest('tr'));
});
</script>

In your jQuery, select only text fields. You can do that in multiple ways -
By directly accessing the tag $('input[text]');
By assigning a class to every text field and then accessing based on that class like `$('.some-class');
By assigning a data-* rule and then accessing it like $('input').data(YOUR_RULE);
After selecting your text fields, submit your form.

When I change dropdown value get nearest input textbox value

I have to display list of values in table format. I pass id in input textbox value future I will hide it, and my question is how to get textbox value when I changed the dropdown value.When I changed dropdown it's will update on particular id. Here I have attached my screenshot. Thanks in Advance. i have tried this below code but its will take first id only.
<td>
<select name="type" id="type" class="form-control">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="coin">Coin</option>
<option value="token">Token</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" id="comp_id" value="<?php echo $row['company_id']; ?>">
</td>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var type_val;
$('#type').on('change', function() {
var fav = $('#comp_id').val();
alert(fav);
type_val = $('#type').val();
console.log(type_val);
});
});
</script>
expected output
<td>
<select name="type" id="type" class="form-control">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="coin">Coin</option>
<option value="token">Token</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" id="comp_id" value="<?php echo $row['company_id']; ?>">
</td>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var type_val;
$('#type').on('change', function() {
// find parent tr then find #comp_id inside it
var fav = $(this).closest('tr').find('#comp_id').val();
alert(fav);
type_val = $('#type').val();
console.log(type_val);
});
</script>
You can use parent and next like this.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#type').on('change', function() {
$(this).parent().next('td').find('input').val()
});
});
Note: Don't use repeated ID. Its a rule violation. Use class instead
of id to find input.Its take only 1st id because duplicate id is not allowed.
Working snippet.
$('#type').on('change', function() {
console.log($(this).parent().next('td').find('input').val());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="type" id="type" class="form-control">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="coin">Coin</option>
<option value="token">Token</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" class="comp_class" value="Your Value From Php">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Never use multiple id's of same name on single page.
Generate your id's dynamically like type1, type2 ... and comp1, comp2 ...
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="type1" id="type1" class="form-control sel">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="coin">Coin</option>
<option value="token">Token</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" id="comp_id1" value="1">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<select name="type2" id="type2" class="form-control sel">
<option value="general">General</option>
<option value="coin">Coin</option>
<option value="token">Token</option>
</select>
</td>
<td>
<input type="hidden" id="comp_id2" value="2">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
$('.sel').change(function(){
var select_id = $(this).attr('id');
var offset = select_id.substring(4);
var type = $(this).val();
alert(type);
var comp = $('#comp_id'+offset).val();
alert(comp);
});
</script>

Unable to post tag returned through document.getElementById('div').innerHTML

I am working on this form with several select elements with options Yes, No or Not applicable. It was required that whenever the user select yes option a separate date field appears next to it. I used HTML DOM document.getElementById("id").innerHTML for this date field. Everything went well but I was not able to pass the value of date to the form action page using POST method. Check this code:
<!-- javascript code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
function credit_check(name){
if(name=='YES')document.getElementById('div2').innerHTML='Date: <input type="date" name="credit_check_date" value= "mm/dd/yyyy" />';
else document.getElementById('div2').innerHTML='';
}
function employment_check(name){
if(name=='YES')document.getElementById('div3').innerHTML='Date: <input type="date" name="employment_check_date" value= "mm/dd/yyyy" />';
else document.getElementById('div3').innerHTML='';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?php include("menu.inc"); ?>
<div id="main">
<table>
<form method="post" action="checkinfo.php">
<tr><td colspan=2><hr/><input type="hidden" name="consultant_id" value="<?php echo $consult_id; ?>"> </td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td><b>Credit Check </b></td>
<td>
<select name="2" onchange="credit_check(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">
<option selected="selected">Please select ...</option>
<option value="YES">Yes</option>
<option value="NO">No</option>
<option value="NA">Not Applicable</option>
</select>
</td>
<td> <div id ="div2"> </div></td>

<tr align="center">
<td><b>Employment Check :<font color='red'>*</font></b></td>

<option value="YES">Yes</option>
<option value="NO">No</option>
<option value="NA">Not Applicable</option>
</select>
</td>

</form>

Demo - Change function credit_check(name) to window.credit_check = function(name)
window.credit_check = function(name){
if(name=='YES') document.getElementById('div2').innerHTML='Date: <input type="date" name="credit_check_date" value= "mm/dd/yyyy" />';
else document.getElementById('div2').innerHTML='';
}
window.employment_check = function (name){
if(name=='YES') document.getElementById('div3').innerHTML='Date: <input type="date" name="employment_check_date" value= "mm/dd/yyyy" />';
else document.getElementById('div3').innerHTML='';
}
You're script wasn't loading properly,
Uncaught ReferenceError: credit_check is not defined in your console shows the error. The functions were not being defined. You can set your functions like above or reposition your code.
Put the inputs into the HTML at loading, then simply hide/show them.

It's also a good idea to check out jQuery, it makes this kind of stuff a lot easier to do.
Your code is already working. See http://jsfiddle.net/2wg4u6ut/
Make sure your JavaScript is in the head section of your document.
There were some minor issues in your formatting where the <form> tag belongs around the table.
You also were missing the submit button, but then it's already working.

IE showing two div instead of one

I made a button which is showing and hiding div on click by using jQuery. But IE showing another extra div and rest of the browsers showing it properly.
<div class="hide-search-button">
<div class="l-f-w" id="locate">
<h1> Location </h1>
<input type="hidden" value="" id="loc_hidden"/>

<option value="Choose">Choose</option>
<?php
//connect with database
$sqlCountry="select DISTINCT state from sheet1
order by state asc ";
$resCountry=mysql_query($sqlCountry);
$checkCountry=mysql_num_rows($resCountry);
// fetch all country
while($rowCountry=mysql_fetch_array($resCountry)){
?>
<option value="<?php echo $rowCountry['state']?>">
<?php echo $rowCountry['state']?>
</option>
<?php
}
?>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><h1>Region</h1></td>
<td><select id="region_name" name="region_name"
onchange="selectState(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">

function span_go()
{
//var locate = document.getElementById("menuSelection").innerHTML;
var service = document.getElementById("sertype").innerHTML;
//document.getElementById("locatetext").value = locate;
document.getElementById("servicetext").value = service;

JS:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#button").toggle(function() {
//$(this).text('Hide Advance Search');
}, function() {
//$(this).text('Show Advance Search');
}).click(function(){
$(".hide-search-button").slideToggle("slow");
event.preventDefault();
});
});
Screenshot shown below:
Try to change click part of your code. You need to pass event object into the handler. In IE actually there is window.event object. Maybe it causes the issue:
.click(function(event) {
$(".hide-search-button").slideToggle("slow");
event.preventDefault();
});

Autoselect option, and autocomplete textarea values onclick

Suppose there is a link (two links, actually), each supposed to be doing something similar and each doing something different.
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="A">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="A">Product A</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="B">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="B">Product B</a>
etc.
When the # anchor is clicked, it needs to open a popup, prompt for a number, then on submit, autoselect the option and set textarea value to the number entered.
<select>
<option selected="selected" value="0"></option>
<option value="A">Spies</option>
<option value="B">Militia</option>
</select>
</td>
<td><input value="0" type="text"></td>
But when the Product anchor is clicked, it needs to do the same thing, but just set the selected element to the corresponding value (Product A autoselects the selects to A, etc.)
I have some stuff in JavaScript to make this work, but I'd like it to be in jQuery, and am having a hard time figuring it out.
Some JS:
The anchors have onclick="var newNumUnits=prompt('How many of Product X do you want to default to? 'Enter amount here'); quickFill(1111115,newNumUnits);", which takes care of a lot of the stuff, but it gets "large" and "complicated", and I'd really like to see the code be rendered easier (if possible) in jQuery.
function quickFill(ProdID, num) {
for(i=0; i<document.myForm.elements.length; i++) {
fieldname = document.myForm.elements[i].name;
fieldvalue = document.myForm.elements[i].value;
if (fieldname.indexOf("_") != -1) {
fieldNameArray = fieldname.split("_");
smallFieldName = fieldNameArray[0];
myPUID = fieldNameArray[1];
if (smallFieldName == "ProdID") {
selectfield = document.myForm.elements[i];
for (var j=0; j<selectfield.options.length;j++) {
if (selectfield.options[j].value == ProdID) {
selectfield.options[j].selected=true;
textinputfield = document.getElementById("num_"+myPUID);
textinputfield.value=num;
}
}
}
}
}
updateStatus();
}
Any help would be appreciated.

Some stuff that I experimented with before, in JavaScript, that works (goes with the the quickFill function posted above:
<a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="var newNumUnits=prompt('How many units do you want to default to? \nClick the unit name instead of the number sign to skip this step.','Enter amount here'); quickFill(U3,newNumUnits);">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="quickFill(U3);">Spies</a>
<br>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="var newNumUnits=prompt('How many units do you want to default to? \nClick the unit name instead of the number sign to skip this step.','Enter amount here'); quickFill(U2,newNumUnits);">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" onclick="quickFill(U2);">Blackshirts</a>
That style of anchors then continues for about 30 more combos, different U#'s, different names. What needs to happen is that when the anchor with text is clicked, all selects that contain that same U# are then auto-selected to it, and when the # anchor is clicked, the same thing happens, but also changes the corresponding textarea to the number entered in the prompt.
You will need to do some changes to the HTML <a> tags first:
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="A" data-type="hash">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="A" data-type="product">Product A</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="B" data-type="hash">#</a>
<a style="cursor:pointer;" name="B" data-type="product">Product B</a>
<select>
<option selected="selected" value="0"></option>
<option value="A">Spies</option>
<option value="B">Militia</option>
</select>
<input value="0" type="text">
Now in jQuery you will need to listen for the click event of the <a> tag:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var a_name = $(this).attr('name');
if ($(this).data('type') === 'hash') {
var answer = prompt('Type your selection', '');
$('select option').prop('selected', false);
$('select option[value="' + a_name + '"]').prop('selected', true);
$('input').val(answer);
} else if ($(this).data('type') === 'product') {
$('select option').prop('selected', false);
$('select option[value="' + a_name + '"]').prop('selected', true);
}
});
});

Enabling a text box depending upon the selected value in a drop down

Hi I have an HTML page which has a text box and a dropdown box. When the page is loading for the first time, then depending upon the value in the drop down(Selected) the text box needs to be enabled or disabled. I want to do this using javascript or jquery. I need a little help.
<table>
<tr>
<td class="td">
<input type="text" size="3" name="length21" value="0" disabled="disabled"/>
</td>
<td class="td">
<div class="type">
<select name="type1" id="field_type">
<option value="TEXT" SELECTED="">TEXT</option>
<option value="TEXTAREA" >TEXTAREA</option>
<option value="DROPDOWN" >DROPDOWN</option>
<option value="DATE" >DATE</option>
<option value="CHECKBOX" >CHECKBOX</option>
<option value="SEPARATOR" >SEPARATOR</option>
<option value="DATETIME" >DATETIME</option>
<option value="HIERARCHY" >HIERARCHY</option>
</select>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td">
<input type="text" size="3" name="length21" value="0" disabled="disabled"/>
</td>
<td class="td">
<div class="type">
<select name="type2" id="field_type">
<option value="TEXT" >TEXT</option>
<option value="TEXTAREA" >TEXTAREA</option>
<option value="DROPDOWN" SELECTED="">DROPDOWN</option>
<option value="DATE" >DATE</option>
<option value="CHECKBOX" >CHECKBOX</option>
<option value="SEPARATOR" >SEPARATOR</option>
<option value="DATETIME" >DATETIME</option>
<option value="HIERARCHY" >HIERARCHY</option>
</select>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now what I want is, when the page loads, for the row where the drop down is having TEXT selected, the text box will get enabled. But not for the other. I would really appreciate any kind of help.
In jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('select').on('change',function(){
if($('select').val() == "TEXT") {
$(this).parents('td').siblings('td').children('input').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
Changed Scott's code a bit so that it works on your load:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('select').each(function() {
var comboBox = $(this);
checkValue(comboBox);
comboBox.on('change', function() {
checkValue(comboBox);
});
});
});
function checkValue(comboBox) {
if (comboBox.val() == "TEXT") {
comboBox.parents('td').siblings('td').children('input').removeAttr('disabled');
}
else {
comboBox.parents('td').siblings('td').children('input').attr('disabled','disabled');
}
}​
Here's a fiddle btw: http://jsfiddle.net/BbStP/1
