generate and show password - javascript

i have a form with a html table.
my table is :
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="password[]"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" value="1" onchange="generatePassword()"/>Short<br />
<input type="radio" value="2" onchange="generatePassword()"/>Medium<br />
<input type="radio" value="3" onchange="generatePassword()" />Long
</td>
<tr>
</table>
In my code, there is a button at the bottom and when it is clicked, it clones the table row. So, i dont know number of rows or number of password fields in my table. Because of clonning the row, i could not give id to my password field. So, I couldnt decide how to reach a text box without id. But i need to show my generated password in password field.

What you can do. You can find an input field from generatePassword like this:
function generatePassword(inp) {
var textbox = inp.parentNode.parentNode.cells[0].getElementsByTagName('input')[0];
textbox.value = 'password ' + inp.value;
}
You would also change markup a little. Add name attribute to radio buttons and reference current input with this:
<input type="radio" name="generate" onchange="generatePassword(this)" value="1" />
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BHb3N/

You could use Classes instead of an ID.
HTML
<input type="text" class="myPassword" value="test" name="password[]" />
<input type="text" class="myPassword" value="test" name="password[]" />
<input type="text" class="myPassword" value="test" name="password[]" />
JS
var passwords = document.getElementsByClassName('myPassword') || document.querySelectorAll('myPassword'); //querySelectorAll for IE <= 8
for (var i = 0; i < passwords.length; i++) {
console.log(passwords[i].value);
}

Use .getElementsByName instead of id:
document.getElementsByName('password[]')[0].value="anyvalue";

OR
Use .getElementsByTagName
document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value="anyvalue";

populate 'today + x days' as form input value [duplicate]

I am trying to use the innerHTML method on an input tag and all i get back is a blank string. Here is the code i am useing.
javascript
function setName(ID){
document.getElementById('searchtitle').innerHTML = "Enter " + ID.innerHTML;
}
HTML
<input type="radio" name="searchtype" id="test" value="name" onclick="setName(this)">Last Name</input><br/>
<input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="phonenumber" onclick="setName(this)">Phone Number</input><br/>
<label for="inputfield" id="searchtitle" style="font-size:2em;">Enter Last Name</label><br/>
<input type="text" name="inputfield" id="inputfield" style="font-size:2em;"></input>
What is supposed to happen is depending on which radio button I pick the label for the input box should change. I can make the label.innerHTML=radio.value but the values are named for my php code and not formated nicely(ie. phonenumber vs. Phone Number) this is why I am trying to use the innerHTML of the radio button.
Any help I could get would be greatly appriciated.
you should embed input inside of label tag. input tag should closed by />. It's semantic HTML. When you do this clicking on label activate the input. InnerHTML only works for label then. It will return you label value.
<label for="inputfield" id="searchtitle" style="font-size:2em;">Enter Last Name
<input type="text" name="inputfield" id="inputfield" style="font-size:2em;" />
</label>
JavaScript:
console.log(document.getElementById('searchtitle').innerHTML); // returns 'Enter Last Name'
If you want the value of an input tag, you want to use .value.
First, add labels around your inputs. Second, use getName(this.parentNode). Finally, call innerText instead of innerHtml.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function setName(el){
document.getElementById('searchtitle').innerHTML = "Enter " + el.innerText;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<label><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="name" onclick="setName(this.parentNode)"/>Last
Name</label><br/>
<label><input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="phonenumber" onclick="setName(this.parentNode)"/>Phone
Number</label><br/>
<label for="inputfield" id="searchtitle" style="font-size:2em;">Enter Last Name</label><br/>
<input type="text" name="inputfield" id="inputfield" style="font-size:2em;"></input>
</body>
</html>
Complete edit.
Ok, I figured out what you were looking for. First off, you've got to fix your HTML (don't put text inside of an input... and don't next an input inside of a label).
<label for="test">Last Name</label>
<input type="radio" name="searchtype" id="test" value="name" onclick="setName(this)" />
<br/>
<label for="test2">Phone Number</label>
<input type="radio" id="test2" name="searchtype" value="phonenumber" onclick="setName(this)" />
<br/>
<label for="inputfield" id="searchtitle" style="font-size:2em;">Enter Last Name</label>
<br/>
<input type="text" name="inputfield" id="inputfield" style="font-size:2em;" />
JavaScript (in Jquery, for brevity):
function setName(elem)
{
$('#searchtitle').html('Enter ' + $('label[for="'+elem.id+'"]').html());
}
You have closed the Input tag improperly with </input>
this should be
<input type="radio" name="searchtype" id="test" value="name" onclick="setName(this)"/>Last Name<br/>
<input type="radio" name="searchtype" value="phonenumber" onclick="setName(this)"/>Phone Number<br/>

Javascript/JQuery Associate Checkbock value with textbox and put in an value pair

Example code:
Present <input type='checkbox' value='student1' id='id_A' name='A' />
Absent <input type='checkbox' value='student1' id='id_B' name='B' />
Comments <input type='text' name='comments' id='id_comments' />
Present <input type='checkbox' value='student2' id='id_A' name='A' />
Absent <input type='checkbox' value='student2' id='id_B' name='B' />
Comments <input type='text' name='comments' id='id_comments' />
and so on in a loop for all users, comments field having text is optional.
Issue:
I would like depending lets say for student1, if the checkbox field has text, I want to associate the appropriate checkbox value that is checked, in this case if student1 is present and has text in comments, 'always 10 minutes late'. I should be able to have probably in a array,
PresentArray = {'Student1' : 'always 10 minutes late', 'Student2' : ''}
I am new to programming, I prefer to use checkboxes for specific reasons with the users.
I should be able to have probably in a array, 'PresentArray =
{'Student1' : 'always 10 minutes late', 'Student2' : ''}'
Your PersentArray is not an array [] but object {}.
Keeping your HTML inputs this way is a mistake. You have duplicate id attributes which should be unique within document.
Also you did not include any code, have you tried anything? Stackoverflow is a place to learn, we are not here to do a homework for you.
I've refactored your HTML. If I understood you correctly you need to check if student is present and has given comment then we can add him to an array. This is what the script does.
Instead of checkbox we use radio because student can't be present and absent at the same time.
See working example and read my comments carefully to have better understanding. If you have any question be sure to ask.
var students = [];
var formInputs = document.querySelectorAll('input');
// You can use this function eg. var studentsInfo = populatePresentArray();
// Function returns populated PresentArray []
function populatePresentArray() {
for (i = 0; i < formInputs.length; i++) {
var input = formInputs[i];
// if input is type radio and is checked then we assume
if (input.value === 'present' && input.checked) {
// query Comment input for current student
var comment = document.querySelector('input[name="' + input.name + '-comments"]');
// Now let's check if comments has required text
if (comment.value === 'always 10 minutes late') {
// All conditions are met, lets add to array new record
students.push({ [input.name] : comment.value });
}
}
}
// Log it
console.log(students);
return students;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="studentsForm">
Present <input type="radio" value="present" name="student1" checked />

jQuery to Validate an Input Text Control based on Radio Selection

How do I validate that the input text corresponding to the radio option is checked?
For example, using the image above:
If Contact 1's E-Mail radio option is selected, Contact 1's E-Mail text field cannot be blank, but Contact 1's Phone and US Mail text fields are still permitted.
If Contact 2's US Mail radio option is selected, Contact 2's US Mail text field cannot be blank, but Contact 2's Phone and E-Mail text fields are still permitted.
I have built the form above using the HTML below, but you can play with my Fiddle here: fiddle.
BEGIN UPDATE: I have a newer fiddle with better code here:
fiddle2
It has more instructions in the HTML and a closer attempt at my jQuery. For some reason, though, it still does not seem to be doing anything.
END UPDATE
I have tried naming the fields so that my jQuery can parse them, but that does not mean there is not a better way.
<body>
<form name="jp2code" action="#" method="POST">
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact 1</legend>
<span>
<input type="radio" id="group1_PhoneRadio" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_PhoneText">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" id="group1_PhoneText" name="group1_PhoneText"/>
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group1_EMailRadio" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_EMailText">E-Mail:</label>
<input type="text" id="group1_EMailText" name="group1_EMailText"/>
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group1_USMailRadio" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_USMailText">US Mail:</label>
<input type="text" id="group1_USMailText" name="group1_USMailText"/>
</span>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact 2</legend>
<span>
<input type="radio" id="group2_PhoneRadio" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_PhoneText">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" id="group2_PhoneText" name="group2_PhoneText"/>
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group2_EMailRadio" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_EMailText">E-Mail:</label>
<input type="text" id="group2_EMailText" name="group2_EMaiText"/>
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group2_USMailRadio" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_USMailText">US Mail:</label>
<input type="text" id="group2_USMailText" name="group2_USMailText"/>
</span>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
What is the best way to write the jQuery?
I am new to jQuery, but I attempted my hand at it based on some Show/hide examples.
What I created below does not work, but hopefully indicates what I am trying to accomplish.
$(function() {
$("input[type='radio']").change(function() { // when a radio button in the group changes
var id = $(this).id;
var index = id.indexOf('group');
if (index == 0) { // is there a better way to do this?
var groupN_Len = 7; // Length of 'groupN_'
var radio_Len = 5; // Length of 'radio'
var preStr = id.substring(0, groupN_Len);
$"input[name*='preStr']".validate = null; // clear validation for all text inputs in the group
var postStr = id.substring(groupN_Len + 1, id.Length() + 1 - radio_Len); // extract Phone, EMail, or USMail
$(preStr+postStr+'Text').validate({ rules: { name: { required: true } } });
}
});
});
To make sure that the radiobutton is checked for each field, add attribute required="" in one of the radiobuttons for each fieldset.
demo
OK, whatever radio button is selected in the Contact Group's Contact Preferences, that corresponding text field is required.
Here is where I am so far on my jQuery checking:
EDIT:
Modified with tilda's important detail about adding '.' to the class name.
Added Required Attribute: how to dynamically add REQUIRED attribute to textarea tag using jquery?
Removed Required Attribute: jquery removing html5 required attribute
Final code works and looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.1/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
debug: true,
success: "valid"
});
$("input[type='radio']").change(function() {
$('.'+$(this).attr('name')).each(function(index) {
$(this).removeAttr('required');
});
if($(this).is(':checked')) {
$('.'+$(this).attr('id')).each(function(index) {
$(this).prop('required',true);
});
}
});
$('#submit').click(function() {
$(this).validate();
});
});
Back to the HTML of the document: I did a lot of subtle editing to the text by creating specific ids and names for the radio buttons that matched up with the class names for the text controls.
Here is that end result:
<body>
<form name="jp2code" action="#" method="POST">
<div>For each field below, provide the Phone Number, E-Mail Address, and Street Address. <b>Indicate the preferred contact method using the radio button.</b></div>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact 1</legend>
<span>
<input type="radio" id="group1_Phone" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_Phone">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" name="group1_PhoneText" class="group1 group1_Phone" />
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group1_EMail" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_EMail">E-Mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="group1_EMailText" class="group1 group1_EMail" />
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group1_USMail" name="group1"/>
<label for="group1_USMail">US Mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="group1_USMailText" class="group1 group1_USMail" />
</span>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact 2</legend>
<span>
<input type="radio" id="group2_Phone" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_Phone">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" name="group2_PhoneText" class="group2 group2_Phone" />
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group2_EMail" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_EMail">E-Mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="group2_EMailText" class="group2 group2_EMail" />
<br/>
<input type="radio" id="group2_USMail" name="group2"/>
<label for="group2_USMail">US Mail:</label>
<input type="text" name="group2_USMailText" class="group2 group2_USMail" />
</span>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Send" id="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
</body>
Let me explain what is going on in the jQuery, using the HTML above:
When a radio button's checked state changes, each control with a class name that matches the radio button's name attribute has the required property removed.
If a radio button is checked (i.e. checked=true), then each control with a class name that matches the radio button's id attribute has the required property added.
Finally, the validator seems to have to be run on a single form control (not on individual text controls like I was doing).
Here is the sample Fiddle that I ended with: Fiddle v8
At tilda: You didn't say much, but what you did say helped a lot!

how to get the value of the hidden fields in here after the radio button is clicked

Am trying to get the value of the hidden input fields on every click of a radio button. I have just posted a single div. I have a multiple div with same structure. I have successfully obtained the value of radio button but I want to get the value of hidden input now.
<div class="QA">
<h1> First Question</h1>
<input type="radio" id="check" name="q" value="A">Options 1</input>
<input type="radio" id="check" name="q" value="B">Options 2</input>
<input type="radio" id="check" name="q" value="C">Options 3</input>
<input type="radio" id="check" name="q" value="D">Options 4</input>
<input type="hidden" id="result" value="B" />
<br/>
<div id="result"></div>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input:radio").change(function() {
checkResult(this);
});
});
function checkResult(el)
{
$this=$(el).parent("div.QA");
$this.slideUp();
}
</script>
Maybe you could try removing the hidden input entirely and indicate the correct answer using a data-* attribute. Something like:
<div class="QA" data-answer="B">
Then in your checkResult function you could retrieve this value using
function checkResult(el)
{
$this=$(el).parent("div.QA");
var answer = $this.data("answer");
$this.slideUp();
}
function checkResult(el)
{
$this = $(el).parents("div.QA");
$this.slideUp();
var x = $this.find('#result').val(); //find value of hidden field in parent div
}
Change your markup
multiple id's should not be used. Use class instead.
<input type="radio" id="check" name="q" value="A">Options 1</input>
to
<input type="radio" class="check" name="q" value="A">Options 1</input>
var $hidden=$(el).siblings("input[type='hidden']");
BTW you have lot of elements with same ID, not good
You can get the value of the hidden element by it's id.
var hiddenValue = $("#result").val();
You can use this in hidden function
function checkResult(el)
{
var hiddenValue = $("#result").val();
alert(hiddenValue);
}

jQuery Radio Button function not working properly

I have a form with two radio buttons and a submit button which leads to a specific form based upon the user's selection.
I wanted to use jQuery to change between the two buttons but have gotten myself a bit lost.
Here is my javascript from another file in the proj:
function goTo()
{
var yesButton = $('#yesRad');
var noButton = $('#noRad');
if (yesButton[0].checked)
{
submitForm('yesForm') && noButton.Checked==false;
}
else (noButton[1].checked)
{
submitForm('noForm') && yesButton.Checked==false;
}
Inside the jsp I have the following code:
<form:form action="interested" commandName="user" name="yesForm" id="yesForm">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="<c:out value="${requestScope.state}"/>" />
<input type="hidden" id="address" name="address" value="${user.address}" />
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="1" />
<input type="radio" name ="radio"id="yesRad" value="yesForm" checked="checked" />Yes<br>
</form:form>
<form:form action="notinterested" commandName="user" name="noForm" id="noForm">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="<c:out value="${requestScope.state}"/>" />
<input type="hidden" id="address" name="address" value="${user.address}" />
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="1" />
<input type="radio" name="radio" id="noRad" value="noForm" />No<br>
</form:form>
Submit
<script>
$("#yesRad").change(function(){
var $input = $("#yesRad");
var $inputb = $("#noRad");
if($inputb.is(':checked'))
$("#yesRad").prop("checked", false);
else if($input.is(':checked'))
$("#yesRad").prop("checked",true) && $("#noRad").prop("checked",false);
});
</script>
I have gotten some functionality out of my jQuery but it's definitely far from correct..
I hope I was clear and thorough in my question. Thanks in advance!!
To begin with, don't use prop, use attr. prop is slower.
You've defined variables so let's not look them up again. In your if/else statement just use the variables.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do with the &&. I suspect you're trying to set the value of the two inputs. If so, they should be separate statements. If inputb is checked there is no reason to set it to checked, so we can remove that piece.
You probably want this change to fire on both inputs.
$("#yesRad, #noRad").change(function(){
var $input = $("#yesRad");
var $inputb = $("#noRad");
if($inputb.is(':checked')){
$input.attr("checked", false);
} else if($input.is(':checked')){
$inputb.attr("checked",false);
}
});
Solved: Using javascript and taking the radio buttons out of the separate form elements.
First let's take a look at the JSP form elements involved:
<form:form action="interested" commandName="user" name="yesForm" id="yesForm">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="<c:out value="${requestScope.state}"/>" />
<input type="hidden" id="address" name="address" value="${user.address}" />
</form:form>
<form:form action="notinterested" commandName="user" name="noForm" id="noForm">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="<c:out value="${requestScope.state}"/>" />
<input type="hidden" id="address" name="address" value="${user.address}" />
</form:form>
<input name="radio" type="radio" id="Yes" value="yes" />Yes<br>
<input name="radio" type="radio" id="No" value="no"/>No<br>
What I did here was simply take the radio buttons out of the separate forms and grouped them together...pretty obvious; now let's look at the javascript file.
function goHere()
{
var yesButton = $('#Yes');
var noButton = $('#No');
var str ="Please select an option first then press the 'Submit' button";
if (yesButton[0].checked)
{
submitForm('yesForm');
}
else if (noButton[0].checked)
{
submitForm('noForm');
}
else
{
document.write(str.fontcolor.font("red"));
}
}
As you can see the function 'goHere();' is going to tell the submit button in the following code where we want to go based on the user's selection on our radio buttons.
Here's the call from our javascript function in a submit button on the form...
<div class="button-panel" id="Submit"><span class="buttons buttons-left"></span>
<button type="button" class="buttons buttons-middle" name="submitBtn" onClick="goHere();">Submit</button>
<span class="buttons buttons-right"></span>
That's it!! Simply put; sometimes, while it's invaluable to learn something new, if it's not broke--etc. Hope this helps someone later on down the line!
