how to copy a text of span - javascript

I copy need the dynamic text of a spam that is generated by a slider that the user sets. It must be copied to a value of an input.
I tried that, and didnt work:
<h4>Valor do consórcio: <span class="slider-value quote-form-element valor-carro1" data-name="Valor | Automóvel" name="Valor" data-slider-id="consorcio-auto">R$ <span id="THAT_VALUE"></span></span>
</h4>
<div class="slider" data-slider-min="20000" data-slider-max="100000" data-slider-start="23192" data-slider-step="1000" data-slider-id="consorcio-auto"></div>
<h4>Seus dados:</h4>
<input type="hidden" id="THAT_FIELD" name="THAT_FIELD" value="" />
<h4>Seus dados:</h4>
<input type="hidden" id="valorcarro" name="valorcarro" value="" />
script
$(function(){
var valorcarro = $('#THAT_VALUE').html();
$('#THAT_FIELD').val(valorcarro);
});
example in this page in the button on menu "Simulação".
The script just does not copy because the value is generated later and the user can still change

You need to use an event to fire your code after the slider value has changed. This is how you do it with a bootstrap slider.
$('.slider').on('slideStop', function () {
var valorcarro = $('#THAT_VALUE').text();
$('#THAT_FIELD').val(valorcarro);
});

To get the text of an element, use text()
For example
$("span").text();

you can try this code.
jQuery(function(){
var valorcarro = jQuery('#THAT_VALUE').text();
jQuery('#THAT_FIELD').val(valorcarro);
});

Actually, #Pamblam's response is better than mine. I was assuming the .slider class was for regular range inputs, which fire the 'change' event when their value changes, but it looks like it is in fact a bootstrap slider, which fires the slideStop event instead. Regardless, the code here listens for a change in the slider value, and when it is triggered, takes the text from the #THAT_VALUE span (from op's code) and sets the value of the #THAT_FIELD field to whatever it is :
$(".slider").change(function(){
var valorcarro = $('#THAT_VALUE').text();
$('#THAT_FIELD').val(valorcarro);
});

How can I retrieve a value in jquery with a button click?

I have the following code:
jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input[name="new_tax_button_post_tag"]').click(function(){
value = $('input[name="post_tag"]').val();
$("#fieldID3").val(value);
});
});
and I want it change:
HTML
<input type="text" id="fieldID3" name="changeme"value="n/a">
The problem is that the click itself is what creates the value, so I have to click the button twice to get the desired results. The first click creates the value. The second click sets the value in the field.
How do I make it so that it does it in one click?
It's like which came first the chicken or the egg.....
I write jquery on the basis of ID of button and textbox,
and also remove value from following input field,
<input type="text" id="fieldID3" name="changeme">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#new_tax_button_post_tag").click(function(){
value = $("#post_tag").val();
$("#fieldID3").val(value);
});
});
I hope this useful for you.

Javascript - Display input inside div

So this is probably an easy one, but I'm just not doing it right. My goal is to send the user input from this textbox:
<input type='text' placeholder='Form Name...' id='formNameInput' required>
Into this Div:
<div id="code_output"></div>
I'm trying to make it appear in real time, and so far I used this to try and do so, but it doesn't work:
document.getElementById("code_output").innerHTML += document.getElementById("formNameInput").value;
Why doesn't it show? Does my code need something to trigger the Javascript?
You're close, but the issue is that you're not using an event handler. The script is executing your code once, as soon as possible (before you have the chance to enter anything into the text input). So, you have to add some sort of event listener so that the copying happens at the appropriate time. Something like below:
document.getElementById('formNameInput').addEventListener('keyup', copyToDiv);
function copyToDiv() {
document.getElementById("code_output").innerHTML = document.getElementById("formNameInput").value;
}
<input type='text' placeholder='Form Name...' id='formNameInput' required>
<div id="code_output"></div>
You need to do that whenever the value of formNameInput changes. For that you need an event.
Your code should look like:
document.getElementById("formNameInput").addEventListener('input', function () {
document.getElementById("code_output").innerHTML += this.value;
});
function change() {
document.getElementById("code_output").innerHTML = document.getElementById("formNameInput").value;
}
document.getElementById('formNameInput').onkeyup = change
maybe this is what you are trying?
You need to attach an event listener to your input that executes a function any time an input event occurs on the field:
formNameInput.addEventListener('input', function(e) {
code_output.textContent = e.target.value
})
<input type="text" placeholder="Form Name..." id="formNameInput" required />
<div id="code_output"></div>
Please note that the above code takes advantage of the fact that browsers automatically create a global variable for each element with a unique id attribute value, and this variable has the same name as the value of the id.
If the concept of events is new to you, this might be a good place to get started:

Getting and passing parent info to hidden form

In a WordPress plugin (called postRatings) when a user presses a nested image he adds a "like" to the page. I want to pass that info to a hidden form.
So when user clicks the img (that's what triggers the plugin functionality), I want to get the serial number that is in the parent span of that image, and pass it as a value to my hidden form input.
Thing is the serial number is displayed at the end part of the parent span id name. I wrote it in the HTML code below as “XXXX”.
I am trying to get that number (only) and pass it to the value of my hidden input. I started writing the JavaScript code but don't know how to continue.
HTML:
<span id="post-ratings-XXXX" class="post-ratings">
<img class="post-ratings-image" src="1_on.gif">
</span>
<form>
<input type="hidden" id="supportedCheck" name="supportedCheck" value="#"
maxlength="19"/>
</form>
JavaScript
$('.post-ratings-image').click(function(){
$('#supportedCheck').val ......?
});
You can use the following
$('.post-ratings-image').click(function(){
$('#supportedCheck').val($(this).parent('span')[0].id.split('-')[2]);
});
Fiddle Demo
You could use following snippet:
$('.post-ratings-image').click(function () {
$('#supportedCheck').val($(this).closest('span[id]')[0].id.split('-').pop());
});
Instead of adding the serial number to the id tag, consider to add it as a data tag. This is JQuery's way of working with data through HTML tags (see docs). You can set it this way:
<span data-serial-number="XXXX" class="post-ratings">
And access it this way:
$('.post-ratings-image').click(function(){
var span = $(this).parent();
var serial = span.data('serial-number');
span.find('input:hidden').val(serial);
});

html <input type="text" /> onchange event not working

I am trying to do some experiment. What I want to happen is that everytime the user types in something in the textbox, it will be displayed in a dialog box. I used the onchange event property to make it happen but it doesn't work. I still need to press the submit button to make it work. I read about AJAX and I am thinking to learn about this. Do I still need AJAX to make it work or is simple JavaScript enough? Please help.
index.php
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript.js"> </script>
<form action="index.php" method="get">
Integer 1: <input type="text" id="num1" name="num1" onchange="checkInput('num1');" /> <br />
Integer 2: <input type="text" id="num2" name="num2" onchange="checkInput('num2');" /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Compute" />
</form>
javascript.js
function checkInput(textbox) {
var textInput = document.getElementById(textbox).value;
alert(textInput);
}
onchange is only triggered when the control is blurred. Try onkeypress instead.
Use .on('input'... to monitor every change to an input (paste, keyup, etc) from jQuery 1.7 and above.
For static and dynamic inputs:
$(document).on('input', '.my-class', function(){
alert('Input changed');
});
For static inputs only:
$('.my-class').on('input', function(){
alert('Input changed');
});
JSFiddle with static/dynamic example: https://jsfiddle.net/op0zqrgy/7/
HTML5 defines an oninput event to catch all direct changes. it works for me.
Checking for keystrokes is only a partial solution, because it's possible to change the contents of an input field using mouse clicks. If you right-click into a text field you'll have cut and paste options that you can use to change the value without making a keystroke. Likewise, if autocomplete is enabled then you can left-click into a field and get a dropdown of previously entered text, and you can select from among your choices using a mouse click. Keystroke trapping will not detect either of these types of changes.
Sadly, there is no "onchange" event that reports changes immediately, at least as far as I know. But there is a solution that works for all cases: set up a timing event using setInterval().
Let's say that your input field has an id and name of "city":
<input type="text" name="city" id="city" />
Have a global variable named "city":
var city = "";
Add this to your page initialization:
setInterval(lookForCityChange, 100);
Then define a lookForCityChange() function:
function lookForCityChange()
{
var newCity = document.getElementById("city").value;
if (newCity != city) {
city = newCity;
doSomething(city); // do whatever you need to do
}
}
In this example, the value of "city" is checked every 100 milliseconds, which you can adjust according to your needs. If you like, use an anonymous function instead of defining lookForCityChange(). Be aware that your code or even the browser might provide an initial value for the input field so you might be notified of a "change" before the user does anything; adjust your code as necessary.
If the idea of a timing event going off every tenth of a second seems ungainly, you can initiate the timer when the input field receives the focus and terminate it (with clearInterval()) upon a blur. I don't think it's possible to change the value of an input field without its receiving the focus, so turning the timer on and off in this fashion should be safe.
onchange only occurs when the change to the input element is committed by the user, most of the time this is when the element loses focus.
if you want your function to fire everytime the element value changes you should use the oninput event - this is better than the key up/down events as the value can be changed with the user's mouse ie pasted in, or auto-fill etc
Read more about the change event here
Read more about the input event here
use following events instead of "onchange"
- onkeyup(event)
- onkeydown(event)
- onkeypress(event)
Firstly, what 'doesn't work'? Do you not see the alert?
Also, Your code could be simplified to this
<input type="text" id="num1" name="num1" onkeydown="checkInput(this);" /> <br />
function checkInput(obj) {
alert(obj.value);
}
I encountered issues where Safari wasn't firing "onchange" events on a text input field. I used a jQuery 1.7.2 "change" event and it didn't work either. I ended up using ZURB's textchange event. It works with mouseevents and can fire without leaving the field:
http://www.zurb.com/playground/jquery-text-change-custom-event
$('.inputClassToBind').bind('textchange', function (event, previousText) {
alert($(this).attr('id'));
});
A couple of comments that IMO are important:
input elements not not emitting 'change' event until USER action ENTER or blur await IS the correct behavior.
The event you want to use is "input" ("oninput"). Here is well demonstrated the different between the two: https://javascript.info/events-change-input
The two events signal two different user gestures/moments ("input" event means user is writing or navigating a select list options, but still didn't confirm the change. "change" means user did changed the value (with an enter or blur our)
Listening for key events like many here recommended is a bad practice in this case. (like people modifying the default behavior of ENTER on inputs)...
jQuery has nothing to do with this. This is all in HTML standard.
If you have problems understanding WHY this is the correct behavior, perhaps is helpful, as experiment, use your text editor or browser without a mouse/pad, just a keyboard.
My two cents.
onkeyup worked for me. onkeypress doesn't trigger when pressing back space.
It is better to use onchange(event) with <select>.
With <input> you can use below event:
- onkeyup(event)
- onkeydown(event)
- onkeypress(event)
when we use onchange while you are typing in input field – there’s no event. But when you move the focus somewhere else, for instance, click on a button – there will be a change event
you can use oninput
The oninput event triggers every time after a value is modified by the user.Unlike keyboard events, it triggers on any value change, even those that does not involve keyboard actions: pasting with a mouse or using speech recognition to dictate the text.
<input type="text" id="input"> oninput: <span id="result"></span>
<script>
input.oninput = function() {
console.log(input.value);
};
</script>
If we want to handle every modification of an <input> then this event is the best choice.
I have been facing the same issue until I figured out how to do it. You can utilize a React hook, useEffect, to write a JS function that will trigger after React rendering.
useEffect(()=>{
document.title='fix onChange with onkeyup';
const box = document.getElementById('changeBox');
box.onkeyup = function () {
console.log(box.value);
}
},[]);
Note onchange is not fired when the value of an input is changed. It is only changed when the input’s value is changed and then the input is blurred. What you’ll need to do is capture the keypress event when fired in the given input and that's why we have used onkeyup menthod.
In the functional component where you have the <Input/> for the <form/>write this
<form onSubmit={handleLogin} method='POST'>
<input
aria-label= 'Enter Email Address'
type='text'
placeholder='Email Address'
className='text-sm text-gray-base w-full mr-3 py-5 px-4 h-2 border border-gray-primary rounded mb-2'
id='changeBox'
/>
</form>
Resulting Image :
Console Image
try onpropertychange.
it only works for IE.

Remove disabled attribute onClick of disabled form field

I have a form field that starts out disabled and has an onClick to enable it. The onClick doesn't fire (at least in FF) nor does a simple alert(1);.
The hacky version is to show a fake form field in its place that "looks" like it's disabled (grayed out style) and onClick, hide it and show the correct field enabled, but that's ugly.
Example Code
This works:
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" onClick="this.disabled=true;">
This works:
<label for="date_end_off" onClick="document.getElementById('date_end').disabled=false">Test</label>
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" onClick="alert(1);" disabled>
This fails:
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" onClick="alert(1);" disabled>
This fails:
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" onClick="document.getElementById('date_end').disabled=false" disabled>
I came across this thread in another forum so I assume I'll have to go about it a different way.
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186057
Firefox, and perhaps other browsers,
disable DOM events on form fields that
are disabled. Any event that starts at
the disabled form field is completely
canceled and does not propagate up the
DOM tree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but
if you click on the disabled button,
the source of the event is the
disabled button and the click event is
completely wiped out. The browser
literally doesn't know the button got
clicked, nor does it pass the click
event on. It's as if you are clicking
on a black hole on the web page.
Work around:
Style the date fields to look as if
they are disabled.
Make a hidden "use_date" form field
with a bit value to determine
whether to use the date fields during processing.
Add new function to onClick of the date fields which will
change the style class to appear
enabled and set the "use_date" value
to 1.
Use readonly instead of disabled
For checkboxes at least, this makes them look disabled but behave normally (tested on Google Chrome). You'll have to catch the click and prevent the default action of the event as appropriate.
Using jQuery, I attach an event handler to the parents of my input controls.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// disable all the input boxes
$(".input").attr("disabled", true);
// add handler to re-enable input boxes on click
$("td:has(.input)").click(function() {
$(".input", this).removeAttr("disabled");
});
});
</script>
All of my input controls have the class "input" and they exist in their own table cells. If you at least wrapped your input tags in a div, then this should work without a table as well.
Citing Quirksmode.org:
"A click event on a disabled form field does not fire events in Firefox and Safari. Opera fires the mousedown and mouseup events, but not the click event. IE fires mousedown and mouseup, but not click, on the form. All these implementations are considered correct."
Quirksmode's compatibility table is great to find out more about such problems.
I recently had a very similar problem and solved it by placing the input in a div and moving the onClick to the div.
<div onClick="myEnableFunction('date_end');">
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" disabled>
</div>
Enabling a disabled element on click kind of defeats the purpose of disabling, don't you think? If you really want the behavior you're describing, just style it 'disabled' and remove those styles on click.
Don't implement the logic of the onClick event in the onClick's value of the input field. That's probably why it's not working in Firefox. Instead define a function as the onClick's value. For example:
<input type="text" id="date_end" value="blah" onClick="doSomething()" disabled>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doSomething()
{
alert("button pressed");
}
</script>
It will also be worth looking into JQuery. You can use it to add or remove attributes from elements and all kinds of other stuff. For instance you can remove the disabled from the the input field by writing a function like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function doSomething()
{
alert("button pressed");
$("#date_end").removeAttr('disabled'); //removes the disabled attribut from the
//element whose id is 'date_end'
}
</script>
OR you can add it as follows:
$("#date_end").attr('disabled','true');
The Jquery site is here
You can add a div over the input that is disabled: check it out
<div onclick="javascript:document.forma.demo1.disabled=false;" style="border:0px solid black; padding:00px;">
<input type=text name="demo1" disabled style="width:30;">
</div>
In order to enable a disabled element on the client side, lets say in response to a checkbox checked or something, I ended up having to use a combination of JS and jQuery, see below:
//enable the yes & no RB
function enable()
{
var RBNo = "rbnBusinessType";
var RBYes = "rbnBusinessType";
//jQuery approach to remove disabled from containing spans
$("#" + RBYes).parent().removeAttr('disabled');
$("#" + RBNo).parent().removeAttr('disabled');
//enable yes and no RBs
document.getElementById(RBYes).disabled = false;
document.getElementById(RBNo).disabled = false;
}
After postback then, you'll need to access the request like the following in order to get at the values of your client side enabled elements:
this._Organization.BusinessTypeHUbZoneSmall = Request.Params["rbnBusinessTypeHUbZoneSmall"] == rbnBusinessTypeHUbZoneSmallYes.ID;
Inspiration taken from:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6995738/asp-javascript-radiobutton-enable-disable-not-included-in-postback-ajax for more information
If you simply want to prevent the user from typing data in your field, but instead want the field to populate on an event, my hack solution was to not disable the input field at all, but instead after running my onclick or onfocus functions, to call blur() so the user can not edit the field.
