I have a requirement to capture into eVar a string of fields that have been changed when user updated their details.
I am using DTM and am thinking how to make it work.
Firstly I wrote this code and saved it as Data Element in the DTM:
var oldMobileNo = document.getElementById('mobileNumber').value;
var oldAnotherNo = document.getElementById('additionalTelephoneNumber').value;
var oldEmail = document.getElementById('emailConfirmed').value;
document.forms['editContactVO'].onsubmit = function(){
var newMobileNo = document.getElementById('mobileNumber').value;
if(oldMobileNo != newMobileNo) {
var MobileNo = "mobile number changed";
}
else {
var MobileNo = "";
}
var newAnotherNo = document.getElementById('additionalTelephoneNumber').value;
if(oldAnotherNo != newAnotherNo) {
var AnotherNo = "additional number changed";
}
else {
var AnotherNo = "";
}
var newEmail = document.getElementById('emailConfirmed').value;
if(oldEmail != newEmail) {
var Email = "email changed";
}
else {
var Email = "";
}
return MobileNo;
return AnotherNo;
return Email;
}
var Final = MobileNo + "," + AnotherNo + "," + Email;
return Final;
Then I tried to reference it with the event based rule set on the form submit button click. The rule definitely worked until I called this Data Element. The rule stopped working.
As far as I understand this code has to be set on the page with form to be able to capture original values and it should be active when the form is updated.
Is it possible to this via DTM? If yes, how to? Or may be somebody did it in the different way?

I have a Contact Form that utilizes Google Scripts. It successfully sends the email and formats it decently to my inbox, but there are 2 problems:
-I need it so that IF var key is equal to 'Action', then do not display it in the email it sends. Because right now, "Action send_message" is getting included in the email and I don't like that.
For this, I have unsuccessfully tried things like:
for (var idx in order) {
var key = order[idx];
//Skip this entry into the email output if it is the Action
if( key === 'Action') {
continue
}
It seems to not react to this code at all.
-I also need it so that if a city is selected, e.g. Alachua, that the email says 'Alachua' instead of 'Florida_Alachua'. But I can't add a NAME to an option since apparently options don't have that property. I also can't do the quick fix of changing the VALUE of the <option> to resolve this step, because of other code I have that conflicts with this route.

finally, this is the extra code that would break if I simply tried changing the value of option to, e.g., 'Alachua' instead of 'Flordia_Alachua'. https://jsfiddle.net/hmatt843/504dgmqy/19/
Thanks for any and all help.
Try console.log(key) before if( key === 'Action'). I think you'll find that key never equals 'Action', exactly. Looks like you'll need if( key === 'action'), instead.
If you wish to remove part of string value, try the replace method: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace
It also looks like you're trying to work with elements[k].name when you mean to be working with elements[k].value.
I believe your code should look something like...
function(k) {
if(elements[k].value !== undefined) {
return elements[k].value.replace('Florida_', '');
// special case for Edge's html collection
} else if(elements[k].length > 0){
return elements[k].item(0).value.replace('Florida_', '');
}
}
... or something to that effect.
In the future, you may want to make it easier for folks trying to help you by posting only the portions of code your having trouble with, and breaking your questions into different posts. A lot to sift through up there.
Hope this helped.
The split() method splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings, using a specified separator string to determine where to make each split.
Var splitValue = elements[k].item(0).value.split("");
splitValue[1] will give you a string of characters after the delimeter () in this case.
I am new to JS and i am trying to update option value using prompt. I have same ID element in different forms.
I have two forms and both having same IDs:dc_list_Z_side and dc_list_A_side.
Is there a way i can select ID in form using JS?
JS CODE:
function add_dc_form_down2() {
var theSelectA = form_down2.dc_list_A_side;
if (theSelectA[theSelectA.selectedIndex].value == "zzzzADD DC zzzzzz") {
var dc_name = prompt("Enter DC Name");
if (dc_name != null){
dc_a = document.getElementById("dc_list_A_side")
dc_a.options[dc_a.selectedIndex].text = dc_name;
dc_a.options[dc_a.selectedIndex].value = dc_name;
}
}
var theSelectZ = form_down2.dc_list_Z_side;
if (theSelectZ[theSelectZ.selectedIndex].value == "zzzzADD DC zzzzzz") {
var dc_name2 = prompt("Enter DC Name");
if (dc_name2 != null){
dc_z = document.getElementById("dc_list_Z_side");
dc_z.options[dc_z.selectedIndex].text = dc_name2;
dc_z.options[dc_z.selectedIndex].value = dc_name2;
}
}
return false;
}
function add_dc_form_flap() {
var theSelectA = flap_form.dc_list_A_side;
if (theSelectA[theSelectA.selectedIndex].value == "zzzzADD DC zzzzzz") {
var dc_name = prompt("Enter DC Name");
if (dc_name != null){
dc_a = document.getElementById("dc_list_A_side")
dc_a.options[dc_a.selectedIndex].text = dc_name;
dc_a.options[dc_a.selectedIndex].value = dc_name;
}
}
var theSelectZ = flap_form.dc_list_Z_side;
if (theSelectZ[theSelectZ.selectedIndex].value == "zzzzADD DC zzzzzz") {
var dc_name2 = prompt("Enter DC Name");
if (dc_name2 != null){
dc_z = document.getElementById("dc_list_Z_side");
dc_z.options[dc_z.selectedIndex].text = dc_name2;
dc_z.options[dc_z.selectedIndex].value = dc_name2;
}
}
return false;
}
Is there a way i can select ID in form using JS?
No.
If you are speaking about having the same form elements on the same page, using the same id (e.g. "dc_list_A_side") you cannot fetch them with document.getElementById(). The id-attribute has to have a unique value for the whole HTML page. JavaScript does not necessarily rely on valid HTML, but in this case it is simply impossible for JavaScript to achieve what you want.
Consider changing the IDs to "dc_list_A_side_a" and "dc_list_A_side_b" for example.
Okay guys, I am trying to use JavaScript to validate a form, and then display a "Thank you" message after its all been validated with correct information. I've got it working to validate the first name, email address, and a radio selection, however I can't seem to get it to validate the state selection, or display the thank you message, but I've also used my browser's(Firefox) Dev Console to dig for syntax errors. None are displayed. Any help?
A small snip of the code is below, and a jsfiddle link to the whole code, plus the HTML is below that.
function validForm() { // reference point
/* first name, email, comments and phone */
var fname = document.form1.fname;
var email = document.form1.email;
var comments = document.form1.comments;
var phone1 = document.form1.phone1;
var phone2 = document.form1.phone2;
var phone3 = document.form1.phone3;
/* collecting the error spans for later use */
var fnErr = document.getElementById('fnErr');
var lnErr = document.getElementById('lnErr');
var emErr = document.getElementById('emErr');
var phErr = document.getElementById('phErr');
var cmErr = document.getElementById('cmErr');
var state = document.getElementById('stErr');
if(fname.value=="") {
fnErr.innerHTML = "We need your name, please.";
fname.focus();
return false;
} else {
fnErr.innerHTML = "";
}
if(email.value=="") {
emErr.innerHTML = "We need your email, please.";
email.focus();
return false;
} else {
emErr.innerHTML = "";
}
if(state.value=="none") {
fnErr.innerHTML = "Please select your state.";
state.focus();
return false;
} else {
fnErr.innerHTML = "";
}
/[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}/i;
if(isNaN(phone1.value) || isNaN(phone2.value) ||
isNaN(phone3.value)) {
phErr.innerHTML = "If you include a phone number it should be numbers only.";
phone1.select();
return false;
} else {
phErr.innerHTML = "";
}
var notices = document.form1.notices;
var selected;
for(var i=0;i<notices.length;i++) {
if(notices[i].checked) {
selected = notices[i].value;
}
}
/* set up a message for a advert recipient */
var msg = "Thank you, <b>"+fname.value
+"!</b> Your message has been received and one of our representatives will reply to <a href='"
+email.value+"'>"+email.value+"</a> within a day or two. Relax, and enjoy the rest of the site!";
if(selected != undefined) {
document.getElementById('notePref').innerHTML = "";
if (selected == "yes") { // here's where we test the contents of "selected"
document.getElementById('fnlMsg').innerHTML = msg;
} else {
document.getElementById('fnlMsg').innerHTML = "<strong>"+fname.value+"</strong>, thank you for your feedback!";
}
var contactForm = document.getElementById('registerForm').setAttribute('class','hide');
var loseSep = document.getElementsByClassName('spec');
loseSep[0].setAttribute('class', 'hide');
} else {
document.getElementById('notePref').innerHTML = "Please make a selection:";
}
} // reference point
https://jsfiddle.net/xp5e099y/2/
first: you dont have place(div/span/etc) with id ="fnlMsg"
second: you dont have place(div/span/etc) with id ="contactForm"
then change your html
<select name="state">
with
<select id="state">
and your script from this
var state = document.getElementById('stErr');
to
var state = document.getElementById('state');
Here is your culprit 'fnlMsg' element is not defined
if (selected == "yes") { // here's where we test the contents of "selected"
document.getElementById('fnlMsg').innerHTML = msg;
} else {
document.getElementById('fnlMsg').innerHTML = "<strong>"+fname.value+"</strong>, thank you for your feedback!";
}
I am trying to make a javascript validating form, and am a bit stuck on validating drop down inputs (select)
I have been using this so far but am unsure on how to implement the validation to the select options, if anyone could give me some tips that would be great.
Edit: Also, how would I implement email validation, e.g containing #, thanks
Thanks
<input id="firstname" onblur="validate('firstname')"></input>
Please enter your first name
Thanks
http://jsfiddle.net/ww2grozz/13/
you need to handle select as follow
var validated = {};
function validate(field) {
// Get the value of the input field being submitted
value = document.getElementById(field).value;
// Set the error field tag in the html
errorField = field + 'Error';
// Set the success field
successField = field + 'Success';
if (value != '') {
document.getElementById(successField).style.display = 'block';
document.getElementById(errorField).style.display = 'none';
validated[field] = true;
} else {
document.getElementById(successField).style.display = 'none';
document.getElementById(errorField).style.display = 'block';
validated[field] = false;
}
}
function SimulateSubmit() {
// Query your elements
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
// Loop your elements
for (i = 0, len = inputs.length; i < len; i++) {
var name = inputs[i].id;
if (!validated[name]) {
// Call validate
validate(name);
// Prevent default
}
}
var all_select = document.getElementsByTagName("select"); // get al select box from the dom to validate
for (i = 0, len = all_select.length; i < len; i++) {
var name = all_select[i].id;
if (!validated[name]) {
// Call validate
validate(name);
// Prevent default
}
}
}
here the Working fiddle
using jQuery function
$('input').on('keyup', function() {
var isValid = $.trim($(this).val()) ? true : false;
// show result field is Valid
});
You must use <form> tag and set your action to it I have done that check this link and I have added select tag and set it to -1 by default for checking purpose while validating
I have form field and that form field gets submitted to the next page with the following javascript code.., the code is working fine in firefox but the form not getting submited in internet explorer.

//alert(ara);
for(var sds=0; sds < tmm.length; sds++)
{
var sss = tmm[sds];;
ara = ara+"*#*#*"+sss;
//alert(ara);
if(sss <= 0)
{
alert("\n\n\nYou should have atleast one submenu \n for each main menu \n\n");
return false;
}
}
var ddf = document.blcname.getElementsByTagName("input");
var i = 0;
while(i < ddf.length)
{
var dddd = ddf[i].type;
var vla = ddf[i].value;
//alert(i+"----"+vla+"-----"+dddd);
if(dddd=="text"){
if(vla == "")
{
//alert("Please fill all the required fields....");
return false;
}
}
i=i+1;
}
var setform = document.getElementById('arav');
setform.value = ara;
var formObj = document.getElementById(formId);
formObj.action = "get-code.php";
formObj.submit();
//document.blcname.submit();
}
thanks in advance
Try alternate ways of getting to this form. Give the form HTML id and a name attribute
Also watch out if you're using frames and the form is inside of a frame.
eg.
document.forms[0].submit() //if its the first form in the document
document.forms[1].submit() //if its the second form in the document
document.formName.submit() //using the name attribute.
