How to create auto-input script based on agularJS? - javascript

I´m trying to implement a greaskemonkey script to make an auto-input, but I cannot find a way to do it.
What I have:
HTML form:
<form ng-submit="buy(quantity2)">
<input name="quantity" type="text" ng-model="my.quantity" style="width:30px" maxlength="2">
</form>
I simply don´t know how to input a value for the box, usually I would do
$("input[name='quantity']:first").val("1");
Unfortunately val doesn´t exists here. Need a help, thanks!

For your better understand i just give you a example how you can take your value.
HTML form:
<form ng-submit="buy(youravlue)">
<input name="quantity" id="quantity" type="text" ng-model="youravlue" style="width:30px" maxlength="2">
</form>
using ng-submit you can take your value this way.
$scope.buy=function(data){
console.log(data);
}
using ID you can take your value this way.
angular.element("#quantity").val();

In angularjs we have to find the element either by id or querySelector or querySelectorAll and wrap it over angular.element which will provide jqlite(lighter version of jquery)
Refer this https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element
angular.element(document.querySelector("input[name='quantity']")).val("1");

Identical ID's in the same HTML page

I have a page that has two different inputs that contain same ID but each one in different form. and I'm actually setting values to inputs from javascript using get element by ID. I know this is not valid. but the thing is if i change one of the input id's I'm gonna need to re write a bunch of code in 'shopping cart ' cuz these input's pass value to cart. I'm actually not planning to touch that for now. So, is there any trick that can target one input instead of the other even if they have the same id's??
ex:
<input type="hidden" name="cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name=cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value=""/>
thanks in advance!!
Although it is a wrong practice, and you should use different id's, you could add a different class attribute to each one.
<input class="input1" type="hidden" name="cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value=""/>
<input class="input2" type="hidden" name=cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value=""/>
var x = document.getElementsByClassName("input1")[0];
Again: I strongly recommend you to find time to change the logic of your program to use unique id's.
If they are in different forms you can target them by selecting IDs where they are inside a certain class. You can also change the name attribute and select that instead.
HTML
<div class="form1">
<input type="hidden" name="rename1" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value="">
</div>
<div class="form2">
<input type="hidden" name="rename2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value="">
</div>
JS
$(".form1 #cart_1_id_add2")
//Or
$("input[name*='rename1']")
However you shouldn't really have the same id twice on one page otherwise it makes it hard to maintain and debug. If it's not a huge job to change your approach I'd recommend you do that.
Add another attribute to one or both tags.
For example, you can make them
<input type="hidden"name="cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" data-id="add100" class="myInput" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" name=cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" data-id="add101" class="myInput" value=""/>
Then get their values with jQuery
var myInput = $('[data-id=add100]').val();
console.log(myInput);
OR use plain javascript by adding a class and getting the value
var myVal = document.getElementsByClassName("myInput")[0];
console.log(myVal.value);
Hope this helps
Yes.
That code shouldn't have duplicate id properties in Dom btw.
You can use a custom HTML element property:
<input type="hidden" name="cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value="" my-property="some_identifier"/>
<input type="hidden" name=cart_1_ID_Add2" id="cart_1_ID_Add2" value="" my-property="some_identifier2"/>

Change Input field grabbing NAME

I've searched about all I can. I'm trying to change the text of an input field using its name. I have found many ways to do it by ID like:
<script>
function changeValue(o){
document.getElementById('type').value=o.innerHTML;
}
</script>
<button id="technician" onclick="changeValue(this)">Technician</button>
<button id="developer" onclick="changeValue(this)">Developer</button>
<input type="text" id="type" name="type" value="change" />
But what I need to accomplish is for inputs without ID's.
Something along the lines of:
<script>
function changeValue(o){
document.getElementsByName('NAME').value=o.innerHTML;
}
</script>
<button id="technician" onclick="changeValue(this)">Technician</button>
<button id="developer" onclick="changeValue(this)">Developer</button>
<input type="text" name="NAME" value="change" />
Is there any way of accomplishing this?
UPDATE
I'm trying to expand on the javascript you guys helped me with.
The Snippet:
<script>
function changeValue(o){
document.getElementsByName('NAME')[0].value=o.innerHTML;
}
</script>
<span onclick="changeValue(this)" style="cursor: pointer;">One</span>
<span onclick="changeValue(this)" style="cursor: pointer;">Two</span>
<img src='image.gif' onclick="changeValue(this.src)" />
<input type="text" name="NAME" value="SOMETHING">
The spans are working correctly, although I don't actually need them. I will have all images once I figure this out.
I have tried a few ways, but what I can find is not directly related to my use.
The end goal is to get the img src into the text input with js, preferably somewhat how it already exists. I feel it's really close.
getElementsByName() returns a collection. use [] to access individual elements
ex :
function changeValue(o){
document.getElementsByName('NAME')[0].value=o.innerHTML;
}
document.getElementsByName('NAME') returns a list of elements by name. You need to provide the index as
document.getElementsByName('NAME')[0].value=o.innerHTML
Use document.querySelector like so
document.querySelector('input[name="NAME"]').value = o.innerHTML;
jQuery way
$('input[name="NAME"]').val("im changed!")

Javascript get values of multiple text fields

I have a dynamic web page where the content may contain between 1 and 10 links, provided in text boxes, similar to the following:
<input size="50" id="link" value="http://Something.Something" type="text">
<input size="50" id="link" value="http://SomethingElse.Something" type="text">
I need javascript to be able to read all of the links, and be able to manipulate the data (store in array, output to screen, etc)
I know that I can read a single id using the following
var link = document.getElementById('link');
Which will return the first match - but, how can I do a loop or obtain all the values for all the links, bearing in mind that the number of links cannot be determined beforehand?
P.S. I have tried using getElementsByTagName('input') but there are more inputs on the page, which means it's getting more results than I'd like it to get.
You can make them all have names and search by name.
<input name="vrow" value="0" type="text"/>
<input name="vrow" value="0" type="text"/>
<input name="vrow" value="0" type="text"/>
<input name="vrow" value="0" type="text"/>
Then you can get it with:
var vrows = document.getElementsByName("vrow");
alert(vrows.length);
Give them all a common class and access using document.getElementsByClassName('class').
IDs should be unique for each element. You could use document.getElementsByClassName or document.querySelectorAll(".class"); and then use the class name (assuming relatively modern browser). Or use document.getElementsByTagName() and then iterate through the elements comparing with the class.
Attach a jQuery lib and you will be able to do something like:
$('input[type=text]').each(function(i, val){
alert($(this).val());
});

javascript input focus

<form id="commentform" method="post" action="wp-comments-post.php">
<input type="text" aria-required="true" tabindex="1" size="22" value=""
id="author" name="author">
</form>
I set default value "visitor" to the input box. When focus is in text box or mouose enters it, I want to hide "visitor" string and want to show it when it loses focus or mose moves out.
Try using the HTML5 placeholder attribute:
<input type="text" aria-required="true" tabindex="1" size="22"
placeholder="visitor" id="author" name="author">
While browser support is not 100% there yet, this will give you a standard way to achieve what you're trying to achieve, without going through unnecessary hoops.
Another thing you can try is to overlay the input element over some text and make it transparent/translucent when not in focus and opaque when in focus/filled.
As of today, Tumblr's login page uses this trick:
<div class="input_wrapper" id="">
<label for="user_password">Password</label>
<input type="password" id="user_password" name="user[password]" data-validation-type="password" value="">
</div>
Through CSS magic this becomes:
Looks like you are using WordPress, so you have the jQuery library on your site.
You can use my jQuery plugin to achieve this.
Example
jQuery
$('#author').inputLabel({
customLabel: 'Visitor'
});
In this case, I had to specify the label myself, but the plugin works without this by finding the relevant label element to the input, which should be present for accessibility.
jsFiddle.
If you are up to HTML 5 yet then try this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var prompt="visitor";
var txt=document.getElementById("author");
txt.onfocus=function(){txt.value='';}
txt.onblur=function(){
if(txt.value==''){
txt.value=prompt;
}
}
</script>
Ates Goral's answer looks very interesting. please try it first shot. this is an alternative if you do not want to sweat..:)
i would suggest using a watermark plugin. there are many available.
have used this plugin before. worked fine. gives you nice control.
the plugin requires jQuery
Though I too would use jQuery or CSS and a pseudo-class (:focus)....
Here's an easy JS solution that does exactly what you're after. Again, I wouldn't recommend this approach for more than one or two input fields.
<input type="text" value="Visitor" onFocus="this.value='';" onBlur="this.value='Visitor';" id="author"/>

In javascript how do I refer to this.form.checkbox[5].checked?

I have a series of checkboxes and input type="text" areas, wherein I need to have the state of the checkbox set to true when the value in the text area changes. Simple enough. I've done this successfully:
<input name="fixed" type="checkbox">
<input name="stuff" type="text" onchange="this.form.fixed.checked=true">
Which works fine. You have to edit the field then click out of it, but that is fine for my needs:
...but when I switch to this:
<input name="fixed[0]" type="checkbox">
<input name="stuff" type="text" onchange="this.form.fixed[0].checked=true">
<input name="fixed[1]" type="checkbox">
<input name="stuff" type="text" onchange="this.form.fixed[1].checked=true">
I get no change to my checkboxes when I edit:
My only javascript know-how comes from googling this sort of thing, I'm afraid. Anyone have any better info on this than the Oracle of Google on The Mountain has in store?
thanks...
Switch from dot notation to bracket notation!
this.form['fixed[0]'].checked
It might be that you're mixing some shady practices in HTML, and when you do it in javascript, they're breaking.
So this.form.fixed[1] in javascript really says "The second item in the array this.form.fixed. So I think that's the problem. try naming your elements fixed0 and fixed1 and see if that works.
Edit: You could also use bracket notation, as illustrated by Peter, which should solve the problem without editing the names of the inputs.
Make life easier on yourself.
Create unique ID's for the elements you are trying to reference and refer to them from the elements to which you bind your events:
<input name="fixed[0]" type="checkbox" id="fixed_0">
<input name="stuff" type="text" onchange="document.getElementById('fixed_0').checked=true">
<input name="fixed[1]" type="checkbox" id="fixed_1">
<input name="stuff" type="text" onchange="document.getElementById('fixed_1').checked=true">
