showing the length of a input

How do I enable input2 if enable 1 has input within it (basically re-enabling it), I'm still a beginner and have no idea to do this.
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
<script language="javascript">
function valid() {
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").length;
var min = 1;
if (firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
//enable the text2 tag
}
}
//once input from text1 is entered launch this function
</script>
</form>

if i understand your question correctly, you want to enable the second input as long as the first input have value in it?
then use dom to change the disabled state of that input
if(firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
//enable the text2 tag
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
}

Please try this code :
var text1 = document.getElementById("text1");
text1.onchange = function () {
if (this.value != "" || this.value.length > 0) {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="text" id="text1">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">

I think you should use .value to get the value. And, then test its .length. That is firstTag should be:
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").value.length;
And, the complete function should be:
function valid() {
var min = 1;
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1");
var secondTag = document.getElementById("text2");
if (firstTag.length > min) {
secondTag.disabled = false
} else {
secondTag.disabled = true
}
}
Let me know if that works.

You can use the .disabled property of the second element. It is a boolean property (true/false).
Also note that you need to use .value to retrieve the text of an input element.
Demo:
function valid() {
var text = document.getElementById("text1").value;
var minLength = 1;
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = text.length < minLength;
}
valid(); // run it at least once on start
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2">

I would just change #Korat code event to keyup like this:
<div>
<input type="text" id="in1" onkeyup="enablesecond()";/>
<input type="text" id="in2" disabled="true"/>
</div>
<script>
var text1 = document.getElementById("in1");
text1.onkeyup = function () {
if (this.value != "" || this.value.length > 0) {
document.getElementById("in2").disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementById("in2").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>

I tried to create my own so that I could automate this for more than just two inputs although the output is always set to null, is it that I cannot give text2's id from text1?
<div id="content">
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid(this.id,text2)">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
<script language ="javascript">
function valid(firstID,secondID){
var firstTag = document.getElementById(firstID).value.length;
var min = 0;
if(firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
document.getElementById(secondID).disabled = false;
}
if(firstTag == 0){
document.getElementById(secondID).disabled = true;
}
}
//once input from text1 is entered launch this function
</script>
</form>

First, you have to correct your code "document.getElementById("text1").length" to "document.getElementById("text1").value.length".
Second, there are two ways you can remove disabled property.
1) Jquery - $('#text2').prop('disabled', false);
2) Javascript - document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
Below is the example using javascript,
function valid() {
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").value.length;
var min = 1;
if (firstTag > min) {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">

If I understand you correctly, what you are asking is how to remove the disabled attribute (enable) from the second input when more than 1 character has been entered into the first input field.
You can to use the oninput event. This will call your function every time a new character is added to the first input field. Then you just need to set the second input field's disabled attribute to false.
Here is a working example.
Run this example at Repl.it
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<!-- Call enableInput2 on input event -->
<input id="input1" oninput="enableInput2()">
<input id="input2" disabled>
<script>
function enableInput2() {
// get the text from the input1 field
var input1 = document.getElementById("input1").value;
if (input1.length > 1) {
// enable input2 by setting disabled attribute to 'false'
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = false;
} else {
// disable input2 once there is 1 or less characters in input1
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
NOTE: It is better practice to use addEventListener instead of putting event handlers (e.g. onclick, oninput, etc.) directly into HTML.

jQuery - How do I use AND with Selector?

My code's function is to alert user if the ptype textfield is empty.
$("input[name*='ptype']").each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == "") {
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#feffe3'});
e.preventDefault();
alert("Enter Value!");
}
});
However, I need to add another criteria where another field amount is not 0. So that the function get triggered when ptype="" && amount!=0. I'm very new in jQuery, and I'm not sure how to use AND operator in here. I've tried to do some based on other questions but it seems not working.
$("input[name*='ptype'][amount!='0']").each(function() {
$("input[name*='ptype'] , [amount!='0']").each(function() {
What am I missing ?

You can do it with && sign. Code depends on where your amount field is located and what it is. If I guess right it should be something like this:
$("input[name*='ptype']").each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == "" && $(this).parent().find(input[name='amount']).val() != 0) {
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#feffe3'});
e.preventDefault();
alert("Enter Value!");
}
});

That code $("input[name*='ptype'][amount!='0']").each(function() { is valid. You have to check the CSS selectors list.
The problem maybe in your *= selection. input[name*="ptype"] means Selects every element whose name attribute value contains the substring "ptype".
$('input[name*="ptype"][amount!="0"]').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == "") {
$(this).css({'background-color' : '#feffe3'});
e.preventDefault();
alert("Enter Value!");
}
});
Take a look at this test https://jsfiddle.net/xpvt214o/211871/

« where another field» is the key in question.
So you need a selector to check if a selected element is empty and another element is not zero.
Holà!
Logic problem here.
with $(selector) you can look up for some elements.
There is no AND / OR in selectors for many sets of matching element.
A selector is ONE set of matching elements.
No way this selector can check for an attribute value of another set.
So you have to know your markup and navigate a bit... And take care of variable types.
$("input[name*='ptype']").each(function() {
if ( parseInt( $(this).next("input").val() ) != 0) {
$(this).css({"background-color" : "red"});
alert("Enter Value!");
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
ptype: <input type="text" name="ptype"><br>
amount: <input type="text" name="amount" value="1">
You have to look for another element's value here, from my understanding. So you have to know what is that "other" element and the methods to use may vary a lot depending on your HTML...

You can use this function in your button.
function check(e){
var verror = false;
$("input[name*='ptype']").each(function(index, value) {
var amount = $($("input[name='amount[]']").get(index)).val();
var ptype = $(this).val();
if(ptype.length <= 0 && amount.length > 0 ){
verror = true;
$(this).focus();
return false;
}
});
if(verror){
e.preventDefault();
alert("Enter Value!");
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
ptype: <input type="text" name="ptype[]">
amount: <input type="text" name="amount[]" value="1"> <br>
ptype: <input type="text" name="ptype[]">
amount: <input type="text" name="amount[]" value="2"> <br>
<button type="button" onclick="check(event)">Click</button>
</form>

Temporarily disable an input field if second input field is filled

I'm attempting to disable an input while the user is filling another input. I've managed to disable one of the two inputs while the other input is being filled in.
The problem is that I want the disabled input to ONLY be disabled WHILE the other input is being typed in.
So if the user changes their mind on the 1st input, they can delete what is in the current input which makes the 2nd input available and the 1st disabled.
JS
var inp1 = document.getElementById("input1");
inp1.onchange = function () {
if (this.value != "" || this.value.length > 0) {
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = true;
}
}
HTML
<input type="text" id="input1">
<input type="text" id="input2">

First, I would use input rather than change. Then, you need to set disabled back to false if the input is blank. Your check for whether it's blank is redundant, you just neither either side of your ||, not both. (I'd also use addEventListener rather than assigning to an .onxyz property, so that it plays nicely with others. :-) )
So:
var inp1 = document.getElementById("input1");
inp1.addEventListener("input", function () {
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = this.value != "";
});
<input type="text" id="input1">
<input type="text" id="input2">
...and then of course if you want it to be mutual, the same for input2.

You can achieve this using focus and blur. Below it is done with JQuery.
$(function() {
$('#input1').focus(function(){
$('#input2').prop('disabled', 'disabled');
}).blur(function(){
$('#input2').prop('disabled', '');
});
$('#input2').focus(function(){
$('#input1').prop('disabled', 'disabled');
}).blur(function(){
$('#input1').prop('disabled', '');
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" id="input1">
<input type="text" id="input2">

How about using keyup?
Like this;
var inp1 = document.getElementById("input1");
var inp2 = document.getElementById("input2");
inp1.onkeyup = function() { inputValidation(this, inp2); }
inp2.onkeyup = function() { inputValidation(this, inp1); }
function inputValidation(origin, lock) {
var response = hasValue(origin.value);
lock.disabled = response;
}
function hasValue(value) {
return value != "" && value.length > 0;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/8o3wwp6s/

Don't make it harder than it is, this is simple.
var one = document.getElementById('one');
var two = document.getElementById('two');
//checks instantly
var checker = setInterval(function() {
if(two.value !== '') {
one.disabled = true;
} else {
//when its clear, it enabled again
one.disabled = false;
}
if(one.value !== '') {
two.disabled = true
} else {
two.disabled = false;
}
}, 30);
<input id="one">
<input id="two">

jquery focus and auto submit after last input is filled

I have two situation with jquery,
I have two text box(name, age), now what i need to do is auto focus the name onload while the age is disabled, once user key in an input on name, it become disabled and switch with age textbox(enable and focus). once the age textbox is filled, the jquery will auto submit it w/o any button
now first things is, I am able to disable and enable the textbox, but when i put document.name.focus() its not working, I mean, the focus is not working.second things is, i manage to do the auto submit using this code
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[name="age"]').blur(function(){
if(this.value != ''){
document.form.submit();
}
});
});
so after the last textbox is filled, it will auto submit, but the problem is, I keep receive this error "Notice: Undefined index: name in C:\location" whenever i run it.
here is my code :
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[name="age"]').blur(function(){
if(this.value != ''){
document.form.submit();
}
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('[name="name"]').blur(function() {
var that = $('[name="age"]')[0];
if (this.value != '') {
this.focus();
this.disabled = true;
that.disabled = false;
}
});
});
function focusName(){
var count = document.form.name.value.length + 1;
if(count <= 8){
document.form.name.focus();
}else{
document.form.age.focus();
}
}
function focusAge(){
var count = document.form.age.value.length + 1;
if(count <= 10){
document.form.age.focus()
}else{
document.form.submit();
}
}
</script>
<fieldset>
<legend>Information </legend>
<form action="receive.php" method="post" name="form">
name : <input type="text" name="name" onKeyUp="focusName();" maxlength="8"><br>
Age : <input typr="text" name="age" disabled onKeyUp="focusAge();" maxlength="3"><br>
<!--input type="submit"-->
</form>
</fieldset>
please help!!.thanks.

Few tips : add some id on your textbox
Example :
name : <input type="text" id="name" name="name" onKeyUp="focusName();" maxlength="8"><br>
Age : <input typr="text" id="age" name="age" disabled onKeyUp="focusAge();" maxlength="3">
Focus the name onload (with JQuery):
$(document).ready(function(){$("#name").focus();})
Auto submit your form :
$("form :input").focusout(function(){
$(this).each(function(){
if($(this).val()=="" )
{
return false;
}
});
$("form").submit();
});

How to validate if textbox value is empty in a series of textboxes?

There are a series of textboxes like:
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" />
User can fill up the textbox values from top to bottom order. Only first textbox is required and all other textboxes are optional.
Allowed order to fill textbox values:
1st
1st & 2nd
1st, 2nd & 3rd
and likewise in sequence order
Dis-allowed order:
2nd
1st & 3rd
1st, 2nd & 4th
This means that user needs to fill up the first textbox only or can fill up the other textboxes in sequential order. User can NOT skip one textbox and then fillup the next one.
How to validate this in javascript/jQuery?
Any help is highly appreciated!

I would personaly use the disabled html attribute.
See this jsFiddle Demo
html
<form>
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" required="required" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" disabled="disabled" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" disabled="disabled" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" disabled="disabled" />
<input type="text" class="jq-textBox" disabled="disabled" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
(Note the required attribute for HTML5)
jquery
$('input.jq-textBox').on('keyup', function(){
var next = $(this).next('input.jq-textBox');
if (next.length) {
if ($.trim($(this).val()) != '') next.removeAttr('disabled');
else {
var nextAll = $(this).nextAll('input.jq-textBox');
nextAll.attr('disabled', 'disbaled');
nextAll.val('');
}
}
})
Also see nextAll() jquery Method
Edit :
If you want to hide the disabled inputs in order to show them only when the previous input is filled, just add this css :
input[disabled] {
display: none;
}
Demo

You can iterate over the list backwards to quickly figure out whether there is a gap.
var last = false,
list = $(".jq-textBox").get().reverse();
$.each(list, function (idx) {
if ($(this).val() !== "") {
last = true;
}
else if (last) {
alert("you skipped one");
}
else if (list.length === idx + 1) {
alert("must enter 1");
}
});
http://jsfiddle.net/rnRPA/1/

Try
var flag = false, valid = true;
$('.jq-textBox').each(function(){
var value = $.trim(this.value);
if(flag && value.length !=0){
valid = false;
return false;
}
if(value.length == 0){
flag = true;
}
});
if(!valid){
console.log('invalid')
}
Demo: Fiddle

You can find all inputs that are invalid (filled in before the previous input) this way:
function invalidFields() {
return $('.jq-textBox')
.filter(function(){ return !$(this).val(); })
.next('.jq-textBox')
.filter(function(){ return $(this).val(); });
}
You can then test for validity:
if (invalidFields().length) {
// invalid
}
You can modify invalid fields:
invalidFields().addClass('invalid');
To make the first field required, just add the HTML attribute required to it.

I think a more elegant solution would be to only display the first textbox, and then reveal the second once there is some input in the first, and then so on (when they type in the second, reveal the third). You could combine this with other solutions for testing the textboxes.

To ensure the data is entered into the input elements in the correct order, you can set up a system which modifies the disabled and readonly states accordingly:
/* Disable all but the first textbox. */
$('input.jq-textBox').not(':first').prop('disabled', true);
/* Detect when the textbox content changes. */
$('body').on('blur', 'input.jq-textBox', function() {
var
$this = $(this)
;
/* If the content of the textbox has been cleared, disable this text
* box and enable the previous one. */
if (this.value === '') {
$this.prop('disabled', true);
$this.prev().prop('readonly', false);
return;
}
/* If this isn't the last text box, set it to readonly. */
if(!$this.is(':last'))
$this.prop('readonly', true);
/* Enable the next text box. */
$this.next().prop('disabled', false);
});
JSFiddle demo.
With this a user is forced to enter more than an empty string into an input field before the next input is essentially "unlocked". They can't then go back and clear the content of a previous input field as this will now be set to readonly, and can only be accessed if all following inputs are also cleared.

JS
var prevEmpty = false;
var validated = true;
$(".jq-textBox").each(function(){
if($(this).val() == ""){
prevEmpty = true;
}else if($(this).val() != "" && !prevEmpty){
console.log("nextOne");
}else{
validated = false;
return false;
}
});
if(validated)
alert("ok");
else
alert("ERROR");
FIDDLE
http://jsfiddle.net/Wdjzb/1/

Perhaps something like this:
var $all = $('.jq-textBox'),
$empty = $all.filter(function() { return 0 === $.trim(this.value).length; }),
valid = $empty.length === 0
|| $empty.length != $all.length
&& $all.index($empty.first()) + $empty.length === $all.length;
// do something depending on whether valid is true or false
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/3UzHf/ (thanks to Arun P Johny for the starting fiddle).
That is, if the index of the first empty item plus the total number of empties adds up to the total number of items then all the empties must be at the end.
