javascript remove "disabled" attribute from html input
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I want to know how to enable a disabled input field.
<input type="text" class="form" value="Text" disabled="">
I've tried to use this code via tampermonkey
var fContrl = document.getElementsByClassName("form");
for (var i = 0; i < fContrl.length; i++)
fContrl[i].setAttribute("disabled", false);
But it doesn't work
You need to set the property not the attribute
// Disable
fContrl[i].disabled = true;
// Enable
fContrl[i].disabled = false;
remove the disabled attribute - see demo below:
var fContrl = document.getElementsByClassName("form");
for (var i = 0; i < fContrl.length; i++)
fContrl[i].removeAttribute("disabled");
<input type="text" class="form" value="Text" disabled="">
Try this way:
var fContrl = document.getElementsByClassName("form");
for (var i = 0; i < fContrl.length; i++)
fContrl[i].disabled=false;
Check this link.
You can directly remove the attribute disabled.
fContrl[i].removeAttribute("disabled");
Remove disable attribute from your input field.
JavaScript Code
fContrl[i].removeAttribute("disabled");
You can achieve it by changing the line
fContrl[i].setAttribute("disabled", false);
to
fContrl[i].disabled=false;

I’m having some strange problem with my JS program. I had this working properly but for some reason it’s no longer working. I just want to find the value of the radio button (which one is selected) and return it to a variable. For some reason it keeps returning undefined.
Here is my code:
function findSelection(field) {
var test = 'document.theForm.' + field;
var sizes = test;
alert(sizes);
for (i=0; i < sizes.length; i++) {
if (sizes[i].checked==true) {
alert(sizes[i].value + ' you got a value');
return sizes[i].value;
}
}
}
submitForm:
function submitForm() {
var genderS = findSelection("genderS");
alert(genderS);
}
HTML:
<form action="#n" name="theForm">
<label for="gender">Gender: </label>
<input type="radio" name="genderS" value="1" checked> Male
<input type="radio" name="genderS" value="0" > Female<br><br>
Search
</form>
This works with any explorer.
document.querySelector('input[name="genderS"]:checked').value;
This is a simple way to get the value of any input type.
You also do not need to include jQuery path.
You can do something like this:
var radios = document.getElementsByName('genderS');
for (var i = 0, length = radios.length; i < length; i++) {
if (radios[i].checked) {
// do whatever you want with the checked radio
alert(radios[i].value);
// only one radio can be logically checked, don't check the rest
break;
}
}
<label for="gender">Gender: </label>
<input type="radio" name="genderS" value="1" checked="checked">Male</input>
<input type="radio" name="genderS" value="0">Female</input>

document.forms.your-form-name.elements.radio-button-name.value
Since jQuery 1.8, the correct syntax for the query is
$('input[name="genderS"]:checked').val();
Not $('input[#name="genderS"]:checked').val(); anymore, which was working in jQuery 1.7 (with the #).
ECMAScript 6 version
let genderS = Array.from(document.getElementsByName("genderS")).find(r => r.checked).value;
Here's a nice way to get the checked radio button's value with plain JavaScript:
const form = document.forms.demo;
const checked = form.querySelector('input[name=characters]:checked');
// log out the value from the :checked radio
console.log(checked.value);

You could also use Array Find the checked property to find the checked item:

Old answer:
Shouldn't you eval like this ?

}
}
}
function submitForm() {
var genderS = findSelection("genderS");
alert(genderS);
return false;
}
A fiddle here.
This is pure JavaScript, based on the answer by #Fontas but with safety code to return an empty string (and avoid a TypeError) if there isn't a selected radio button:
var genderSRadio = document.querySelector("input[name=genderS]:checked");
var genderSValue = genderSRadio ? genderSRadio.value : "";
The code breaks down like this:
Line 1: get a reference to the control that (a) is an <input> type, (b) has a name attribute of genderS, and (c) is checked.
Line 2: If there is such a control, return its value. If there isn't, return an empty string. The genderSRadio variable is truthy if Line 1 finds the control and null/falsey if it doesn't.
For JQuery, use #jbabey's answer, and note that if there isn't a selected radio button it will return undefined.
First, shoutout to ashraf aaref, who's answer I would like to expand a little.
As MDN Web Docs suggest, using RadioNodeList is the preferred way to go:
// Get the form
const form = document.forms[0];
// Get the form's radio buttons
const radios = form.elements['color'];
// You can also easily get the selected value
console.log(radios.value);
// Set the "red" option as the value, i.e. select it
radios.value = 'red';
One might however also select the form via querySelector, which works fine too:
const form = document.querySelector('form[name="somename"]')
However, selecting the radios directly will not work, because it returns a simple NodeList.
document.querySelectorAll('input[name="color"]')
// Returns: NodeList [ input, input ]
While selecting the form first returns a RadioNodeList
document.forms[0].elements['color']
// document.forms[0].color # Shortcut variant
// document.forms[0].elements['complex[naming]'] # Note: shortcuts do not work well with complex field names, thus `elements` for a more programmatic aproach
// Returns: RadioNodeList { 0: input, 1: input, value: "red", length: 2 }
This is why you have to select the form first and then call the elements Method. Aside from all the input Nodes, the RadioNodeList also includes a property value, which enables this simple manipulation.

Here is an Example for Radios where no Checked="checked" attribute is used

Putting Ed Gibbs' answer into a general function:
function findSelection(rad_name) {
const rad_val = document.querySelector('input[name=' + rad_name + ']:checked');
return (rad_val ? rad_val.value : "");
}
Then you can do findSelection("genderS");
lets suppose you need to place different rows of radio buttons in a form, each with separate attribute names ('option1','option2' etc) but the same class name. Perhaps you need them in multiple rows where they will each submit a value based on a scale of 1 to 5 pertaining to a question. you can write your javascript like so:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ratings = document.getElementsByClassName('ratings'); // we access all our radio buttons elements by class name
var radios="";
var i;
for(i=0;i<ratings.length;i++){
ratings[i].onclick=function(){
var result = 0;
radios = document.querySelectorAll("input[class=ratings]:checked");
for(j=0;j<radios.length;j++){
result = result + + radios[j].value;
}
console.log(result);
document.getElementById('overall-average-rating').innerHTML = result; // this row displays your total rating
}
}
</script>
I would also insert the final output into a hidden form element to be submitted together with the form.
I realize this is extremely old, but it can now be done in a single line
function findSelection(name) {
return document.querySelector(`[name="${name}"]:checked`).value
}
I prefer to use a formdata object as it represents the value that should be send if the form was submitted.
Note that it shows a snapshot of the form values. If you change the value, you need to recreate the FormData object. If you want to see the state change of the radio, you need to subscribe to the change event change event demo
Demo:
let formData = new FormData(document.querySelector("form"));
console.log(`The value is: ${formData.get("choice")}`);
<form>
<p>Pizza crust:</p>
<p>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="regular" >

<p>
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="deep" checked >
<label for="choice2id">Deep dish</label>

If it is possible for you to assign a Id for your form element(), this way can be considered as a safe alternative way (specially when radio group element name is not unique in document):

return formInputElements[i].value;
}
}
}
HTML:
<form action="#n" name="theForm" id="yourFormId">
I like to use brackets to get value from input, its way more clear than using dots.
document.forms['form_name']['input_name'].value;

Get next / previous element using JavaScript?
(10 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm using javascript to access previous element's attribute value.
My HTML :
<form>
<div>
<label for="name">Name :</label>
<input type="text" name="name">
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">E-Mail :</label>
<input type="email" name="email">
</div>
</form>
I use loop to read all input elements in my form.
But, i want to read the label's HTML.
ex.
Input Element : 'email'
Label : 'E-Mail'
Also i want Javascript Solution ONLY !
//////// I'm not using jQuery ! ///////
You can use .previousElementSibling property to get the label element.
var el = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
for(var i =0; i< el.length;i++){
console.log(el[i]);
console.log(el[i].previousElementSibling);
if(el[i].getAttribute("name")==el[i].previousElementSibling.getAttribute("for")){
console.log("it is label");
}
}
Here is the jsfiddle example.
Used the code here:Find html label associated with a given input
//associate all labels to inputs:
var labels = document.getElementsByTagName('LABEL'); for (var i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) { if (labels[i].htmlFor != '') { var elem = document.getElementsByName(labels[i].htmlFor)[0]; if (elem) elem.label = labels[i]; } }
//get email for example
email=document.getElementsByName("email")[0];
EmailLabelvalue=email.label.innerHTML;
It connects every label with its Input, than you can easily get it using input.label. To get its containing value use .innerHTML ...

What is wrong with this getElementsByClassName call in Javascript? [duplicate]
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am trying to show the same text value in designated elements marked by the same class. Basically, this text is a value that I am getting from a form input tag. I am trying to do this with JavaScript using a getElementById to gather the text value and then getElementsByClassName to replace the text value in specified places of a page. Please see the following code first in HTML:
collective noun: <input type="text" id="noun1" onkeypress="runGather()"><br>
something the <i class="collective_noun">collective noun</i> can make: <input type="text" id="noun2"><br>
adj describing <i class="collective_noun">collective noun</i>: <input type="text" id="adj"><br>
and then in the JS file:
function runGather() {
var noun1 = document.getElementById("noun1").value;
var collective_noun = document.getElementsByClassName("collective_noun").value;
for (var i = 0; i < noun1.length; i++) {
collective_noun[i].innerHTML = noun1;
}
}
You're setting collective_noun to just a value when you want to use the nodelist that's returned, and you're trying to loop through noun1, which is just the value of the node. Try this instead:
var i, l,
noun_1,
collective_nouns;
noun_1 = document.getElementById('noun_1').value;
collective_nouns = document.getElementsByClassName('collective_noun');
for (i = 0, l = collective_nouns.length; i < l; i += 1) {
collective_nouns[i].innerHtml = noun1;
}
Instead of using plain JavaScript, you could save yourself the headache and use jQuery. Here's a one-line example using jQuery:
$(".collective_noun").text( $("#noun1").val() );

Javascript to check whether a checkbox is being checked or unchecked
(7 answers)
Closed 10 years ago.
I have a list of check box and i need to write a javascript function to find out which all the check boxes are clicked. can any one help?
<input type="checkbox" name="check_group[]" id="name" /> name
<input type="checkbox" name="check_group[]" id="age" /> age
<input type="checkbox" name="check_group[]" id="school" /> school
<input type="checkbox" name="check_group[]" id="company"> company
So if I click on only 2 I need to know which are the 2 I clicked on so that I can send for server side processing.
Given that the checkboxes all have the same name, you can use a function like:
function getChecked(name) {
var els = document.getElementsByName(name);
for (var i=0, iLen=els.length; i<iLen; i++) {
if (els[i].checked) {
// els[i] is checked, do stuff
}
}
}
Have a input type button and call this function on it's click
function callMeOnButtonClick()
{
var selectedBox = document.querySelectorAll('input[name*=check_group]');
// You may also use
// var selectedBox = document.getElementsByName('check_group[]');
// The above two statements will give you the same result. i.e., array of checkboxes having name check_group[]
var count++;
for(var i=0; i<selectedBox.length; i++)
{
if(selectedBox[i].checked)
{
count++;
// Do processing
}
}
alert("Number of selected checkbox: "+count);
}
you can use jQuery to find the checked elements in javascript
alert($("check_group[]:[checked=checked]").length);
and then you can use those values to send server side for processing
