I'm trying to use jQuery for email validation in a form field
$(document).ready(function() {
var email = new RegExp("[a-z0-9._%+-]+#[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$");
var value = $("#email_address").val();
$("#email_address").on("keypress", function() {
if(email.test(value)) {
$("#email_address").parent().addClass("has-success");
}
});
});
However, the has-success class doesn't get added. I've tried each line of code individually in the console and they all seem to be doing/pointing to the right thing. It's when it's all put together that it doesn't seem to work.
You load the value on jQuery's DOM ready and never load it again.
You need to test the current value, not the one that's there when the DOM is ready, roughly:
$("#email_address").on("keypress", function() {
if(email.test($(this).val())) {
$("#email_address").parent().addClass("has-success");
}
});
Unrelated, but personally I'd wrap up the email test in a function so instead of saying email.test(xxx) you could read it more naturally like validEmail(xxx) etc.

I basically have a very complicated set of tabs with various input controls but lets not worry about this for now. For now let consider simple input wtching issue I am baffled by.
For example:
<input type="text" placeholder="Associate some tags please" data-ng-model="tag" data-ng-maxlength="250">
I am try to detect if user has typed something into my input:
$scope.$watch('tag', function () {
//$scope.$watchCollection('tag', function () {
console.log('tag changed');
});
But I seem to get zero response. However, when I perform my save operation I always seem to get the value user typed in.
Is a case of ng-model not binding correctly or is it that I am not $watching it correctly?
Also after I've performed my save operation I try to clear what user typed in for the tag with:
$scope.tag = '';
But that doesn't seem to work for some reason as though $scope.tag doesn't exist.
PS: When I say save operation I am actually performing a array.push() into an object which later gets saved by a service.
For example:
$scope.checkSaveTag = function (tag) {
...
// checked for duplicate tag beforehand
$scope.myForm.Tags.push(tagObj); // complicated form object
$scope.tag = ''; // tag input control
...
};
Any chance that the tag is an object or an array? If that is the case, you'll need to do a deep $watch, e.g:
$scope.$watch('tag', function () {
console.log('tag changed');
}, true);
Try like this
Controller
$scope.form={
tag:''
}
$scope.$watch("form.tag",function(newVal,oldVal){
console.log(newVal);
})
Html
<input type="text" placeholder="Associate some tags please" data-ng-model="form.tag" data-ng-maxlength="250">
I'm working on my first HTML form that performs an AJAX HTTP POST using jQuery. When a user makes a change to an input text field and tabs out of the field it triggers the AJAX script which in turn calls a PHP script which performs a database update.
I've got this working successfully for my first input field - I would now like to extend this to a 2nd, 3rd etc input fields but want to try and avoid having multiple scripts that perform very similar functions. I'm new to jQuery and AJAX so learning the syntax as I go.
Here's my input fields:
Manager
Phone
Here's my Javascript that is working on the storeManager input field:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#storeManager").change(function(){
var storeManager = $("#storeManager").val();
$.post('editProject.php', { storeManager: storeManager, id: '1E1DDA14-D2C6-4FC8-BA5F-DBCCC7ABAF7F' }, function(data) {
$("#managerRow").addClass("success");
}).fail(function () {
// no data available in this context
$("#managerRow").addClass("danger");
$("#ajaxAlert").addClass("alert alert-danger");
});
});
});
</script>
I essentially need to branch and pass an additional POST parameter to the editProject.php script so it knows which database field to update, and then conditionally add a class to the appropriate row.
Everything I've tried breaks the script when I try and get it to branch or pass a parameter based on the input field that is being edited. I haven't been able to find any examples that show the correct syntax to have the one script that is called by different input fields - I'm presuming this is possible instead of having multiple versions of the same script acting on different fields.
This works for multiple fields. Just call the same function from different input fields. I just broke your code into two parts.
1. onChange function of each individual field, and
2. function call by passing the field parameters.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#storeManager").change(function(){ yourFunction(this) }):
$("#worker").change(function(){ yourFunction(this) }):
$("#someX").change(function(){ yourFunction(this) }):
yourFunction(field)
{
var value = $(field).val();
var inputId=field.id;
$.post('editProject.php', { inputValue: value, id: inputId }, function(data) {
$('#'+inputId+'Row').addClass("success"); // (this looks like: *#storeManagerRow* ) you can change your Row id's accordingly to make your work easier. Eg: for **#storeManager** make this id as **storeManagerRow**
}).fail(function () {
// no data available in this context
$('#'+inputId+'Row').addClass("danger");
$("#ajaxAlert").addClass("alert alert-danger");
});
});
</script>
You just try to post a value. for example type. Which should contain some value for identify the ajax call.
If it is for login, then add type = 'login'. Then check the value of $_POST['type'] and write php according to it
sample.php
if(isset($_POST['type']))
{
if($_POST['type'] == 'login')
{
//your code goes here
}
}
you can use this kind of code :
$("#storeManager, #Manager, #Phone").change(function(){
You could do something like this using :input or a class that they all have
$(":input").on("change", function(){
var text = $(this).val();
var idOfInput = $(this).attr("id");
//your post to php function using the above variables
});
From this you could post the id of the input to your php script using the idOfInput variable which you could then on the php side use a case switch to do a different query depending on which id is sent to the php
Here is a jsfiddle showing how it works
I am new to jQuery. I have created a form where I hide some fields. I have created a function on the click of a button field. Here in this function definition I unhide the hidden fields one being my text field and another a button. I code that I use is:
finishOrder: function() {
document.getElementById("create-pwd").style.display = "block"
document.getElementById("finish-ok").style.display = "block" // this is my another button
// do further processing
},
Now on the click of another button (please see the comment "this is my another button") I call another function like this:
FinishcheckPassword: function() {
var pas = document.getElementById("pos-password")
var user = new db.web.Model("res.users").get_func("read")(this.session.uid, ['password']).pipe(function(result) {
if(pas.value == result.password){
return true
});
},
After the if condition returns true value, I want to the control to be transferred to the first function where I can do further processing. Is it possible, if yes how can this be achieved? Any help will be appreciated.
Sure, something like this:
$('#finish-ok').click(function(){
if(FinishcheckPassword()){
finishOrder();
}
}
Of course, this is probably not exactly the right code for you. The fact that you are assigning all your functions with : rather than = suggests that they are inside of some larger object. Therefore, they'd have to be called like myObject.finishOrder(). But the general approach of what I wrote above will work.
As a couple side notes, you have tagged the question with jQuery and refer to it in your post, but there isn't actually a single line of jQuery in your code.
I have code like below to perform some conditional validation on fields in my form. The basic idea being that if something is entered in one field, then all the fields in this 'group' should be required.
jQuery.validator.addMethod('readingRequired', function (val, el) {
//Readings validation - if a reading or a date is entered, then they should all be ntered.
var $module = $(el).closest('tr');
return $module.find('.readingRequired:filled').length == 3;
});
//This allows us to apply the above rule using a CSS class.
jQuery.validator.addClassRules('readingRequired', {
'readingRequired': true
});
//This gets called on change of any of the textboxes within the group, passing in the
//parent tr and whether or not this is required.
function SetReadingValidation(parent) {
var inputs = parent.find('input');
var required = false;
if (parent.find('input:filled').length > 0) {
required = true;
}
if (required) {
inputs.addClass("readingRequired");
}
else {
inputs.removeClass("readingRequired");
}
}
//This is in the document.ready event:
$("input.reading").change(function () {
SetReadingValidation($(this).closest("tr"));
});
This works fine, and I've used pretty much the same code on other pages with success. The slight problem here is that when i enter a value into the first textbox and tab out of it, the validation fires and an error message is displayed. This doesn't happen on other pages with similar code, rather the validation waits until the form is first submitted. Does anybody have any idea why this might be happening?
Hmm. You know how it goes, post a question and then find a solution yourself. Not sure why this works exactly, but changing my binding from:
$("input.reading").change(function () {
SetReadingValidation($(this).closest("tr"));
});
to
$("input.reading").blur(function () {
SetReadingValidation($(this).closest("tr"));
});
Seems to have solved this issue. Would still appreciate being enlightened as to why that might be...
I have a pretty simple HTML form where users can enter in information about a person. Below that form is a button which allows them to 'add more'. When clicked, the 'person' form is copied and appended to the page.
The way I used to do this was to take my HTML file, copy out the relevant section (the part that gets 'added more') and then save it into a variable in the Javascript. This became rather annoying when I had to make changes to the form as I would then have to make the same changes to the Javascript variable.
My new method is to create the variable dynamically in Javascript. When the page loads, I use jQuery to grab out the 'add more' part of the code and cache the HTML into a variable. Then when the 'add more' button is clicked, I append that cached HTML to the page.
The problem is with form inputs. The server-side code autofills the form with the user's data from the database. I want to cache that HTML data with no form inputs...
My current function looks like this:
function getHTML($obj, clean)
{
if (clean)
{
var $html = $obj.clone();
$html.find('input').each(function() { $(this)[0].value = ''; });
}
else
{
var $html = $obj;
}
var html = $html.wrap('<div></div>').parent()[0].innerHTML;
$html.unwrap();
return html;
}
It doesn't work. I'm also unsure if this is the best approach to solving the problem.
Any ideas?
I don't know why this wouldn't work. I can't see how the function is being called, or what is being passed to it.
I guess one thing I'd do differently would be to create a .clone() whether or not you're "cleaning" the inputs. Then you're not wrapping and unwrapping an element that is in the DOM. Just use the if() statement to decide whether or not to clean it.
Something like this:
function getHTML($obj, clean) {
var $clone = $obj.clone();
if (clean) {
$clone.find('input').each(function() { this.value = ''; });
}
return $clone.wrap('<div></div>').parent()[0].innerHTML;
}
Or a little more jQuery and less code:
function getHTML($obj) {
return $obj.clone().find('input').val('').end().wrap('<div/>').parent().html();
}
A little less efficient, but if it only runs once at the page load, then perhaps not a concern.
Or if it is going to be made into a jQuery object eventually anyway, why not just return that?
function getHTML($obj) {
return $obj.clone().find('input').val('').end();
}
Now you've returned a cleaned clone of the original that is ready to be inserted whenever you want.
EDIT:
Can't figure out right now why we can't get a new string.
Here's a function that will return the DOM elements. Beyond that, I'm stumped!
function getHTML($obj, clean) {
var $clone = $obj.clone();
if (clean) {
$clone.find('input').each(function() {
this.value = '';
});
}
return $clone.get(); // Return Array of DOM Elements
}
EDIT: Works now.
I ditched most of the jQuery, and used .setAttribute("value","") instead of this.value.
Give it a try:
function getHTML($obj, clean) {
var clone = $obj[0].cloneNode(true);
var inputs = clone.getElementsByTagName('input');
console.log(inputs);
for(var i = 0, len = inputs.length; i < len; i++) {
inputs[i].setAttribute('value','');
}
return $('<div></div>').append(clone)[0].innerHTML;
}
I would wrap the part of the form that needs to be cloned in a <fieldset>:
<form id="my_form">
<fieldset id="clone_1">
<input name="field_1_1">
<input name="field_2_1">
<input name="field_3_1">
</fieldset>
</form>
Add one more
Then for the jQuery script:
$("#fieldset_clone").click(function(event) {
// Get the number of current clones and set the new count ...
var cloneCount = parseInt($("fieldset[id^=clone_]").size());
var newCloneCount = cloneCount++;
// ... then create new clone based on the first fieldset ...
var newClone = $("#clone_1").clone();
// .. and do the cleanup, make sure it has
// unique IDs and name for server-side parsing
newClone.attr('id', 'clone_' + newCloneCount);
newClone.find("input[id^=clone_]").each(function() {
$(this).val('').attr('name', ($(this).attr('name').substr(0,7)) + newCloneCount);
});
// .. and finally insert it after the last fieldset
newClone.insertAfter("#clone_" + cloneCount);
event.preventDefault();
});
This would not only clone and clean the set of input fields, but it would also set new ID's and names so once the form is posted, their values would not be overwritten by the last set.
Also, in case you want to add the option of removing sets as well (one might add too many by mistake, or whatever other reason), having them wrapped in a <fieldset> that has an unique ID will help in accessing it and doing a .remove() on it.
Hope this helps.
