I've spent hours on this one.
My company is forced to use a non-user-friendly 3rd party website. We only use IE11. My job is to use javascript and jquery to customize the screen and make things a little easier for our users. I use a bookmarklet to insert <script> tags into IE and reference a .js file saved locally.
This website uses hundreds of input text fields but we only need a handful of them. So, I want to highlight input text fields on the screen.
Some fields have ID's some only have Name. For the most part, this works:
$(document.getElementById('s_3_1_18_0').toggleClass("highlightField");
$(document.getElementsByName('s_3_1_19_0')[0]).toggleClass("highlightField");
HighlightField simply adds CSS background-color: yellow !important
The problem is, this 3rd party app changes the ID and the Name in bizarre ways. One day, the name will be 's_3_1_19_0', the next it will be 's_3_2_48_0'. So highlighting using this method is not stable.
However, these fields have an area-label that stays constant. I'm wondering how to use javascript or jquery to iterate through each text box, looking for a specific aria-label. For example, the "valid to" field has a bizarre name that changes all the time but it's aria-label is always "Valid To".
Can anyone please help me with this?
You can find the input with the aria-label "Valid To" by searching for
$(document).find('input').attr('aria-label', 'Valid To');
I recommend being a little bit more specific than $(document), though. That searches the entire doc.
You can use jquery to get the list of all aria-label attributes and use a switch case to perform what you need. Something like this
switch ($(this).attr('aria-label')) {
case 'label1': {
//do something
break;
}
}

Odoo 13.
I got two float fields: time_given and timer.
I have created a widget for 'timer' field. My widget works as real-time clock or some sort of timer. The problem I have encountered is that I want to change the style of 'time_given' field based on the following condition:
((time_given - timer) <= 30 sec) i.e less than 30 seconds left
To change the style of the field the widget attached to is pretty easy, but I am not sure hot to get access to other field elements in the form view I need and make some visual manipulations with them if needed.
I was able to get access to other field elements, change their style and add some text but the it is not a proper way.
this.__parentedParent.__parentedChildren
I get array of objects, then I loop through it and look for the field needed. After I found my target field element I am able to play with it.
For example:
$field_name.addClass('text-danger')
The way above works pretty fine but again as I said before, this is definitely not a proper way.
I was trying to find the right field element and add class to it by the following way:
$("[name='field_name']").addClass('text-danger')
It found the element, but did not add the class 'text-danger'.
I was trying my best by googling and reading the source code, but failed.

I have managed to solve this issue. Just used core.bus.trigger method mentioned in the official documentation.
P.s. In case if you are still interested how I did this in more details, just let me know in the comments section below.
I run a large Discord server and I'm making a channel for people to post template information about their online groups. To make complying with the template either, I've created a single HTML page which takes the information that goes in the template and regurgitates it into a box on the bottom of the page with some nice bolding and italics where needed already for copy/paste.
Unfortunately, I don't know Javascript so I'm just trying to piece things together and learning as I go. (I'm learning other languages but not this one in school.)
For some reason me trying to format code on here isn't working so I can't paste what I have so I'll just try and explain it.
I'm using oninput="groupNameFunction()" and I'm having the javascript grab the user entered data as they type it via grabbing the ID of the input field then regurgitating it out in the innerHTML of another element. And it works great.
But checkboxes (and probably radio buttons) don't work with oninput (for pretty obvious reasons) but I've been able to get onblur to work to some extent.
The problem is that I'm a beginning coder and I don't quite know or understand how I'll take all the results from all the checkboxes and regurgitate them out into a nice list when there are many IDs and many choices and it doesn't seem sensible to try and write all choices from a single thing into their own function, or how I'll handle the same thing with radio buttons.
I can't find any examples in stuff like W3 tutorials of this being done, it's probably that I just don't know the language to google it correctly.
Could someone point me in the right direction on how to make this work?
here's a little fiddle for you to play with. (press F12 to open developer tools and see console, you'll find logs there)
for radio and checkbox inputs you have change event, it triggers when user check and uncheck the box. bare in mind that you need to have same name="friendly-name" attribute on radio buttons in order them to work as expected.
for the "text" filed use input event.
don't add inline events in HTML, it's bad practice, add them via JS. from JS you can select all your inputs by ther class, name, tag name etc.. and add event handlers (you can find everything in the fiddle).
hope it helps. :D
I'm working on a Chrome Extension which I want to replace certain characters in a specific text field on one specific website. It is basically to change emoticon text (like ":-D") into the proper emoji's, such as "😄". I tried a few things I found online (I'm not very good with JS):
- A MutationObserver and then look for all text fields with a certain name, then replace all emoticons by hand. Didn't really do the job properly and also kept firing up the print window for some reason
- Event listener added with event 'keyup' but it doesn't seem to fire up.
Hope you guys know a good solution!
This question does not give anywhere near enough information to answer. Are you using the program for input fields on the website? What solutions have you tried? Where is the code? Essentially, you are asking us to write the entire program for you. This forum is meant for programming help, NOT doing the entire program for you. You need to fix the question to be more specific.
If you just want to replace text elements, you would have to use the select elements by tag name to select all text elements on the page and then search through each of these for the sets of emoticons. Once finding these, you would have to change the elements inner html to fit the emoticon from UTF-8.
I've been creating a calender box widget (one of those little div-popups that allows you to select a date).
All's pretty much done on it short of one feature: When you create the object, you send it a field (the field that will contain the date); because of a (really) weird set of requirements, this field cannot have an easily readable format (YYYYMMddhhmmss) and so my script hides the field, and drops a div with similar styling in its place. I haven't found a way to neatly drop a div in as a sibling to the field AND right next to it (as opposed to appended at the end of the parent).
How can I take a field by ID as an argument, hide it, and drop a div in it's place at the same location?
If I could drop it, in the HTML, directly after the field, I could copy it's CSS over to the DIV (or a new field, even) and no one would be the wiser; references to the old field would still be valid, and humans could easily read the new field, but as is, the best solution I've found is to have the object take two parameters, one for the target field and one for the target div. It's not ideal.

jsFiddle: Simplified Example (Includes chosen answer)
PS:
I only have one real goal in this project: to minimize dependencies. This widget is replacing an old one my company used for ages which, over time, accumulated a dozen and a half modifications (each in different files) and needed at least as many style sheets and existing plugins. No one really knew what was going on with it. As is this one needs only jQuery, no other scripts, no other style sheets...
...I'd like to keep it that way...

Firefox remembers what you have so far entered in a given text input and as soon as you start typing it suggests previous values matching what you have typed so far.
Is it possible to access this list via javascript?
Thanks.

This features is there with the browser itself.

I am afraid, that's not possible
No that is not possible, that information is private to the user.
If it was possible, you could just put a textbox with the name "email" or "password" on a page, and start harvesting whatever people wrote in such textboxes on other sites.
Even if you limit the access to the same site, people doesn't always want to be associated with what they did earlier. If I for example accidentally made a search for something that happens to be urban slang for something else, I don't want "relevant ads" to follow me.
