Setting a cookie in jquery based on input box - javascript

I ma really new to javascript but I am using jquery and the jquery cookie library. I was wondering how I can put the contents of an input text box into a cookie.
This is the code I have tried but it hasn't worked:
JS
$.cookie("location_input", "#lat");
HTML
<input id="loc" placeholder="Location" type="text"></input>
Is there something else stopping this from working or have I not done this bit of code correctly?

Your HTML is this:
<input id="loc" placeholder="Location" type="text"></input>
In order to get the contents of an input text box, you should simply do this:
var data = $("#loc").val();
and to set this data into a cookie, you need to do this:
$.cookie("location_input", data);
I hope, this makes things clear as why your code didn't worked :)

try this
document.cookie = "location_input="+$("#loc").val();
Using #loc, since it is the id of your input. $.cookie is useful when retrieving the cookie, not nessecary when saving.

You need something like:
$.cookie("location_input", $("#lat").val());
At the moment you are setting the cookie to the string value #lat, not actual value of the input.
Also I think your example has a typo, #lat instead of #loc :)

Insert the value retrieved from localstorage to the input field

I am using localStorage where in I am able to store in previous page and retrive it in this page. (Checked it using alert).
name12=localStorage.getItem("content");
Now my requirement is to display it into the input field and make it non-editable.
Please help me out with it. I have tried different things but I am not able to get it right.
Used onblur="localStorage.setItem(this.name, this.value) in the input tag
and also tried to use
if name_2.value = name12; in script tag
To make a field uneditable, you can use the html attribute disabled on the input field. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_disabled.asp
To set a default value for a field, you can use the html attribute value. In your case since the value is dynamic, you probably want do not want to do that inline in the html. One possible solution is to set the value attribute through javascript like below.
<script type="text/javascript">
var name2 = document.getElementById("name_2");
name2.value = localStorage.getItem("content");;
</script>
Set the value of an input field
You have to assign the value to input using javascript.
<input username" id="name_2" type="text" placeholder="name" name="name_2" required="required" autofocus="autofocus">
<script>
var n = "5"; // read from storage here
var inpt = document.getElementById("name_2");
inpt.value = n;
inpt.disabled = true;
</script>
There are many places to find this information. Try reading the jquery documentation when you get stuck. For example, here is a page that describes how to set the value of an input element. StackOverflow also has many questions about this topic. A quick google search brings up this question about setting the value of input elements. We can also find SO questions about disabling input elements easily, like this one.
I encourage that you attempt to use more resources to find what you need before bringing your questions here.
Based on the answers to the questions I linked, we can set the input and then disable it to keep the value from changing:
$('#input').val(name12);
$('#input').prop('disabled', true);

How to disable an input field for certain user?

I have an input field that I want to make it readonly for the users, and only the admin can change it .
<input value="http://google.com" class="form-control" readonly></div>
if you want do this as other said, you must have a database gestion, anyway the code that you must have is like:
<input id ="label1" value="http://google.com" class="form-control" readonly></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var isAdmin = "1" //this variable must be valorized with a flag or something that is supposed to be, for example 0 for users 1 for admins
if(isAdmin==1){
var checkVisible = document.getElementById("label1");
checkVisible.readOnly= false;
}
</script>
for sure it's not a professional solution but this can give to you and idea how it works
2 simple ways to do this.
1st you can incorporate javascript inside in your jsp. Then create function that would hide your the field that can be editted if the user is not admin.(Then show only the read-only or text field) Then show it otherwise which seemed a little complicated this way.
But anyway, 2nd is you can use jsp standard tag library or jstl.. use . It works like a switch with case statements :) for reference please see: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/jsp/jstl_core_choose_tag.htm

Setting Default value of input textbox in Jquery EasyUI dialog

I have googled and looked throughout the whole documentation and could not figure out why value of input text is not shown. I am using FireFox latest version and below is what I have done so far.
<input name="amount" class="easyui-validatebox" id="d_amount" value="">
In regular html or php page we can give value="300" to set default value, but in EasyUI, it is not possible. So I was thinking possible alternative like below:
<script>
var m = '300';
document.getElementById("d_amount").value.innerHTML=m;
</script>
Nothing is shown and I am not getting any error. Any EasyUI expert, please help me.
NOTE: this input field is inside the dialog
To set the default value, you have to set the value attribute. However, that does not necessarily update the value property so you need to do both. So given:
<input name="amount" class="easyui-validatebox" id="d_amount" value="">
set the default value by setting the value attribute:
var input = document.getElementById('d_amount')
input.setAttribute('value', 'whatever');
now set the value property:
input.value = 'whatever';
Note that you can also get a reference to the input as a member of the form that it's in:
var input = document.formName.d_amount;
Use the below code
$("#d_amount").numberbox({
min:0,
precision:2,
value:300
})
Reference : numberbox
Or try this one
$("#d_amount").textbox({
buttonText:'Search',
iconCls:'icon-man',
iconAlign:'left',
value:"300"
});
Reference : textbox
use this code to set the value inside $(document).ready(function(){}
....
$("#d_amount").numberbox('setValue','300');
....
if still not working, just try to set name and id as the same name and id
<input name="d_amount" class="easyui-validatebox" id="d_amount" value="">
I am always working with this numberbox and it's working
I have found your thread because I am also having the same issue and I have just across this thing today. Your case is a little bit different (maybe) then my case because you want to set the default which can be changed by the user later (I believe). In my case, the value will be fixed (will not be changed) so I have applied a trick and hopefully it can give some ideas to you and others who are having same issue. Please refer below:
In first page says pageA.php:
<select name="myThing" id="myThing">
<option value="Your Desired Value" selected="selected">Something</option>
</select>
Still in the same page, under your $(document).ready( function(){ put the code below:
$("#myThing").val($("#myThing option:first").val());
That code is to make sure your desired value appears at the first row in the drop down. I say this because in EasyUI it seems when I use drop down and put single option, the first row will be blank and the second row will hold your input. So that is the trick to ensure your desired value appears on top and selected. Put the select under the form then during normal post, you will be able to get the value of it in the posted page. Enjoy. Thank you.
Suggestion: if your value can be changed by user, use placeholder and you can hide the default value from user using my trick.
try this
document.getElementById("d_amount").value=m;
you don't need innerHTML
I found the answer here. The trick is to use the code inside $(function(){});
$(function(){
var m=300;
$('#d_amount').textbox('setValue', m);
});
I too had this problem and it was solved using the following
First my input was in the form like this:
<input name="hostFirstName" id="hostFirstName" class="easyui-textbox">
I needed to load content from the db then pre-fill the input with this data so the user could edit the content.
I used the following javascript.
NOTE: i didn't hide this away inside an anonymous function() and it is working. I tested this first from the F12 console to make sure it was working before changing my code.
//populate with existing data
$('#hostFirstName').textbox('setValue', "Is this working?");
The docs on jeasyui.com don't provide this example when you look at the textbox api reference. But they do provide an example when looking at the combobox (http://www.jeasyui.com/documentation/index.php#) the combobox and textbox use the same setValue method.
Hopefully this works for you like it does for me.

jquery cant read textfield value

I got a problem today with some codes regarding reading textfield value.
the value is returned back to the page as the result of a query from a php file:
//the first text filed with event calling a php file to query the name's order in the list.
<label for=name>Name</label>
<input id=name name=name type=text placeholder="Individual / Company Director" required onblur="getOrderInList();" >
the function getOrderInList() does a query and sends the result back to the caller page using javascript
parent.document.getElementById('customerorder')=document.getElementById('query_result');
the query result which is an integer, is supposed to be back to the main page where the name text field is in a specific hidden text box customercode
using jQuery i need to show it on the page using an alert for example. but seems to be undefined.
can anyone help me with this.
your code is in javascript and you are mentioning jquery in your question. its a bit confusing but my guess is you need your javascript code to be corrected
parent.document.getElementById('customerorder').value = document.getElementById('query_result').value;
In JavaScript:
parent.document.getElementById('customerorder').value = document.getElementById('query_result').value;
In jQuery:
$('#customerorder').val( $('#query_result').val() )

html post issue

i have the following html code :
<FORM name=frmmail>
<input id="dochtmlContent" type="hidden" name="dochtmlContent" value="oldValue"/>
<script>document.dochtmlContent="newValue"</script>
</FORM>
and later on in a javascript function (which is called upn submit):
alert(document.dochtmlContent);
document.frmmail.method = "post";
document.frmmail.ENCTYPE = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
document.frmmail.action = "/myServlet";
document.frmmail.submit();
Basically, I am declaring a hiden variable, changing its value and submitting it.
The issue is, while I see an alert box displaying "newValue", when I submit it, my servlet recieves the "oldValue" for the dochtmlContent parameter.
Can someone suggest whats wrong here.
Change your HTML to this:
<script>document.getElementById("dochtmlContent").value = "newValue";</script>
The reason is dochtmlContent as a hidden input is not a property of document. That's not how you want to access it. Instead you are creating that property on document, but the form is still posting the hidden input, unmodified. You need to select that element using the getElementById (or another selector if relevant).
document.getElementById('dochtmlContent').value="newValue"
worked :)
