Here is the working demo of what I want to achieve. Just enter some value in input and you might get what I want to achieve. (Yes, I got it working but stay on..)
But it fails when multiple keys are pressed together.
What I am trying :
I have screen which contains few enabled and few disabled input elements. Whenever user updates any value in editable input element, I want to update disabled input which had same value with user updated value.
HTML :
<input value="foo" /> // When User updates this
<br/>
<input value="bar">
<br/>
<input value="Hello">
<br/>
<input value="World">
<br/>
<input value="foo" disabled> // this should be updated
<br/>
<input value="bar" disabled>
<br/>
<input value="foo" disabled> // and this also
<br/>
<input value="bar" disabled>
<br/>
<input value="Happy Ending!">
<br/>
I tried this which I think will save me from multiple_clicks_at_a_time
JS:
$(":input:not(:disabled)").keyup(function () {
// Get user entered value
var val = this.value;
// Find associated inputs which should be updated with new value
siblings = $(this).data("siblings");
$(siblings).each(function () {
// Update each input with new value
this.value = val;
});
});
$(function () {
$(":input:not(:disabled)").each(function () {
// Find inputs which should be updated with this change in this input
siblings = $(":input:disabled[value=" + this.value + "]");
// add them to data attribute
$(this).data("siblings", siblings);
});
});
But I am not able to pass the selectors to keyup function and invoke .each on it.
PS:
My previous completely different try, working with single_click_at_a_time but I felt that I am unnecessarily traversing the DOM again and again so dropped this
$(":input").keypress(function () {
$(this).data("oldVal", this.value);
});
$(":input").keyup(function () {
var oldVal = $(this).data("oldVal");
$(this).data("newVal", this.value);
var newVal = $(this).data("newVal");
$("input:disabled").each(function () {
if (this.value == oldVal) this.value = newVal;
});
});
I would group those inputs first and bind a handler for enabled elements to apply to the group. See below,
var grpInp = {};
$(":input").each(function () {
if (grpInp.hasOwnProperty(this.value)) {
grpInp[this.value] = grpInp[this.value].add($(this));
} else {
grpInp[this.value] = $(this);
}
});
$.each(grpInp, function (i, el) {
el.filter(':enabled').keyup(function () {
el.val(this.value);
});
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/fjtFA/9/
The above approach basically groups input element with same value, then filters them based on :enabled and bind a handler to apply it to the group.
// Find associated inputs which should be updated with new value
siblings = $(this).data("siblings", siblings);
No. The .data method called with two arguments does not get, but set the data (and returns the current selection). Also, you should make your variables local:
var siblings = $(this).data("siblings");

I have a form where users can create recipes. I start them off with one ingredient field (among others) and then use .append() to add as many more as they want to the div container that holds the first ingredient. The first input field has an id of IngredientName1 and dynamically added input fields are IngredientName2, IngredientName3, etc.
When they start typing in the input field, I pop a list of available ingredients filtered by the value they key into IngredientNameX. When they click on an ingredient in the list, it sets the value of the IngredientNameX field to the text from the div - like a search & click to complete thing. This all works very well; however, when you add IngredientName2 (or any beyond the one I started them with initially) clicking on an available ingredient sets the values of every single IngredientNameX field. No matter how many there are.
I hope this is enough context without being overly verbose, here's my code (I've removed a lot that is not relevant for the purpose of posting, hoping I didn't remove too much):
<div id="ingredientsContainer">
<input type="hidden" id="ingredientCounter" value="1">
<div class="ingredientsRowContainer">
<div class="ingredientsInputContainer"><input class="effect-1 ingredientsInput" type="text" name="IngredientName1" placeholder="Ingredient" id="IngredientName1" data-ingID="1"><span class="focus-border"></span></div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="Ingredient1ID" id="Ingredient1ID">
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).on('keyup', "[id^=IngredientName]",function () {
var value = $(this).val().toLowerCase();
var searchValue = $(this).val();
var valueLength = value.length;
if(valueLength>1){
var theIngredient = $(this).attr("data-ingID");
$("#Ingredients").removeClass("hidden")
var $results = $('#Ingredients').children().filter(function() {
return $(this).text() === searchValue;
});
//user selected an ingredient from the list
$(".ingredientsValues").click(function(){
console.log("theIngredient: "+theIngredient);//LOGS THE CORRECT NUMBER
var selectedIngredientID = $(this).attr("id");
var selectedIngredientText = $(this).text();
$("#IngredientName"+String(theIngredient)).val(selectedIngredientText);//THIS IS WHAT SETS EVERYTHING WITH AN ID OF IngredientNameX
$("#Ingredient"+String(theIngredient)+"ID").val(selectedIngredientID);
$("#Ingredients").addClass("hidden");
});
$("#Ingredients *").filter(function() {
$(this).toggle($(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(value) > -1)
});
} else {
$("#Ingredients").addClass("hidden")
}
});
$("#AddIngredient").click(function(){
var ingredientCounter = $("#ingredientCounter").val();
ingredientCounter++;
$("#ingredientCounter").val(ingredientCounter);
$('#ingredientsContainer').append('\
<div class="ingredientsRowContainer">\
<div class="ingredientsInputContainer"><input class="effect-1 ingredientsInput" type="text" name="IngredientName'+ingredientCounter+'" placeholder="Ingredient" id="IngredientName'+ingredientCounter+'" data-ingID="'+ingredientCounter+'"><span class="focus-border"></span></div>\
</div>\
<input type="hidden" name="Ingredient'+ingredientCounter+'ID" id="Ingredient'+ingredientCounter+'ID">\
');
});
});
</script>
[UPDATE] I realized the problem is happening because the function is running multiple times. I assume this happening because I'm calling a function on keyup of a field whose id starts with IngredientName so when one has a key up event, all existing fields run the function. How do i modify my:
$(document).on('keyup', "[id^=IngredientName]",function () {
to only run on the field with focus?
I'm using jquery autocomplete.In my case I have multiple autocomplete textbox and hidden field on my page.
e.g
<input class='myclass' type='text'> </input>
<input class='.emp_num_hidden' type='hidden'> </input>
<input class='myclass' type='text'> </input>
<input class='.emp_num_hidden' type='hidden'> </input>
and so on...
so when I fire change event on hidden field then it is raised multiple time
below is my code:
$(".myclass").each(function() {
var $empName= $(this);
var $empNumber = $empName.next('input:hidden');
//things to do
//Setting variable e.g url...
$empName.autocomplete(url,{
//code...
}).result(function(event,data,formatted)
{
$empNumber.val(formatted).change();
});
});
In above code $empNumber holds the hidden field which is used to store autocomplete value i.e in this case when
we select any text from autocomplete then that selected employees number will get store in hidden field.
Based on this hidden field value I want to do ajax call which will return full details of the employee based on his
employee number.
So I have written hanldler to change event of the hidden field as below.
$(.emp_num_hidden).on('change',function (
)};
here 'emp_num_hidden' is the class of the hidden field.
Please suggest how can I prevent multiple event on hidden field change.
This is done using the $(this) object. Since the change event has a target, it will only be effecting one element. The callback function is being executed on this element, this. For example:
$(".emp_num_hidden").on('change', function (e){
alert($(this).val());
});
What will happen is that an alert window will be shown when the hidden field is changed, containing the employee number from only that hidden field. You will also notices there are a few fixes to your code.
Personally, I would make use of both id and class attributes on your objects. This gives you wide scope and narrow scope to your selectors.
Example:
HTML
<input class='myclass' type='text' id='entry-txt-1' />
<input class='emp_num_hidden' type='hidden' id='hide-txt-1' />
<input class='myclass' type='text' id='entry-txt-2' />
<input class='emp_num_hidden' type='hidden' id='hide-txt-2' />
jQuery
$(function(){
var $empName, $empNumber;
$(".myclass").each(function(key, el) {
$empName= $(el);
$empNumber = $empName.next("input[type='hidden']");
// things to do
// Setting variable e.g url...
$empName.autocomplete(url, {
//code...
}).result(function(e, d, f){
$empNumber.val(f).change();
});
});
$(".emp_num_hidden").on('change', function(e){
var empId = $(this).attr("id");
var $employeeNumberField = $("#" + empId);
// Do the needful...
});
});
Taking this a bit further, you may want to consider making use of data attributes. You may also want to look at select event for Autocomplete. Something like:
$(function(){
$(".myclass").autocomplete({
source: url,
select: function(e, ui){
$(this).val(ui.item.label);
$(this).data("emp-number", ui.item.value);
$.post("employeedata.php", { n: ui.item.value }, function(data){
$("#empData").html(data);
});
return false;
}
});
});
This assumes that url returns an array objects with label and value properties. This would add the Employee Number as a data-emp-number attribute to the field that the user was making a selection from. The label being their Employee Name, and the value being their Employee Number. You could also use this callback to show all the other employee data based on Employee Number.
A working example: https://jsfiddle.net/Twisty/zmevd0r0/
anyone could help me out on how i could achieve this with either javascript or jquery maybe to get the following as mentioned below
say i have this field1
<input type="text" name="field1" value="">
and then i have this field2
<input type="hidden" name="field2" value="">
what i mean to say the field2 should be hidden but if someone enters some value in field1 then field2 shows but if no value on field1 then it disappears?
thanks in advance and appreciate your time and help
You'd get the first field, check if it has a value, and toggle the second field based on that, but you should not be using a hidden input, but instead hide it with CSS
$('[name="field1"]').on('input', function() {
var el = $('[name="field2"]').toggle( this.value !== "" );
if (this.value === "") el.val("");
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="text" name="field1" value="" placeholder="type something">
<br><br>
<input type="text" name="field2" value="" style="display:none">
As you've also tagged your question with JavaScript it seems worth offering the following:
// retrieving the first - if any - element with its
// 'name' attribute equal to the value of 'field1':
var input = document.querySelector('[name=field1]');
// adding an event-listener to that element, listening
// for the 'input' event (keyup, paste, copy...) and
// assigning the method's anonymous function as the
// event-handler:
input.addEventListener('input', function(e) {
// 'e': here unused, is a reference to the event
// which triggered the function to be called; using
// e.type will give the specific event, if required
// (and other properties are, of course, available).
// retrieving the first - if any - element with has
// its 'name' attribute equal to 'field2':
var conditionalInput = document.querySelector('[name=field2]');
// if the value of the <input> element that received
// the event has a value that, when leading and trailing
// white-space is removed, results in a truthy
// evaluation (the string length is non-zero):
if (this.value.trim().length) {
// we set the display style of the conditionally-
// shown <input> to 'block', you could instead use
// 'inline-block' if you prefer:
conditionalInput.style.display = 'block';
// otherwise, if the length of the trimmed-value is
// zero (falsey):
} else {
// we set the display style of the conditionally-
// shown <input> to 'none':
conditionalInput.style.display = 'none';
// and also remove its entered value:
conditionalInput.value = '';
}
});
var input = document.querySelector('[name=field1]');
input.addEventListener('input', function(e) {
var conditionalInput = document.querySelector('[name=field2]');
if (this.value.trim().length) {
conditionalInput.style.display = 'block';
} else {
conditionalInput.style.display = 'none';
conditionalInput.value = '';
}
});
<input type="text" name="field1" value="" />
<input type="text" name="field2" value="" />
In your HTML please note that I've adjusted the <input> element's type, from 'hidden' to 'text', this is because some browsers – I believe mostly Internet Explorer – has, or had, issues when changing the type of an <input> element dynamically.
If your use-case doesn't depend on cross-browser compatibility then you can, of course, change the type (conditionalInput.type = 'text'/conditionalInput.type = 'hidden') rather than the display.
Well, I have this text input that gets sum of all the attributes of "price" inside all checkboxes are checked.
now i can't get an attribute value from a checkbox.
here is my function:
function sum_options() {
var options = [];
$("#form-field-1-11-1").attr("price", 500);
$("#form-field-1-11-2").attr("price", 500);
$("#form-field-1-11-3").attr("price", 0);
$("#form-field-1-11-4").attr("price", 300);
$("#form-field-1-11-5").attr("price", 500);
$("#form-field-1-11-6").attr("price", 500);
$("#form-field-1-11-7").attr("price", 1250);
$("#form-field-1-11-8").attr("price", 500);
$("#form-field-1-11-9").attr("price", 700);
options[0] = $("#form-field-1-11-1");
options[1] = $("#form-field-1-11-2");
options[2] = $("#form-field-1-11-3");
options[3] = $("#form-field-1-11-4");
options[4] = $("#form-field-1-11-5");
options[5] = $("#form-field-1-11-6");
options[6] = $("#form-field-1-11-7");
options[7] = $("#form-field-1-11-8");
options[8] = $("#form-field-1-11-9");
var total = 0;
$.each(options, function() {
this.on("change", function() {
total += this.attr("price");
});
});
$("#sum-field").val(total);
}
thanks!!!
Your code is a lot more complex than it needs to be.
Firstly, you should use data-* attributes to assign custom data to an element. Creating your own non-standard attributes will mean your HTML is invalid and can lead to other issues. Also, if your code is relying on the price attribute, then it should be in the DOM when the page loads.
Secondly there's no need to build an array of single elements. You can select them all in to a single jQuery object and set a change() event handler on them in a single call. I grouped them by class in the below example.
Lastly you can get the total of all the prices by looping through the :checked boxes and adding up their prices. Try this:
$('.checkbox').change(function() {
var total = 0;
$('.checkbox:checked').each(function() {
total += parseFloat($(this).data('price'));
});
$("#sum-field").val(total);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" id="form-field-1-11-1" class="checkbox" data-price="500" />
<input type="checkbox" id="form-field-1-11-2" class="checkbox" data-price="500" />
<input type="checkbox" id="form-field-1-11-3" class="checkbox" data-price="0" />
<input type="checkbox" id="form-field-1-11-4" class="checkbox" data-price="300" />
<!-- other checkboxes here... -->
<input type="text" id="sum-field" />
To get the value of the Value attribute you can do something like this:
$("input[type='checkbox']").val();
Or if you have set a class or id for it, you can:
$('#check_id').val();
$('.check_class').val();
However this will return the same value whether it is checked or not, this can be confusing as it is differnt to the submitted form behaviour.
To check whether it is checked or not, do:
if ($('#check_id').is(":checked"))
{
// it is checked
}
You just forgot to parse the return value to a number:
parseInt(this.attr("price"));
the attr() function is returning a string value.
Very new to JavaScript/HTML, help!
I have 2 text boxes and a submit button. I am trying to retrieve the data from each of them using JavaScript and for the time being, simply put them into an alert box.
However, on clicking the button, the alert just reads 'undefined', help!
Here's a code snippet:
function submitApp() {
var authValue = document.getElementsByName("appAuthor").value;
var titleValue = document.getElementsByName("appTitle").value;
alert(authValue);
}
<input type="text" name="appAuthor" size="" maxlength="30" />
<input type="text" name="appTitle" maxlength="30" />
<input type="button" value="Submit my Application!" onclick="submitApp()" />
getElementsByName() returns a list. So you can grab the first item in the list:
document.getElementsByName("appAuthor")[0].value
.getElementsByName() method returns an array-like node list, so you'll need to specify an index in order to retrieve a specific input's value (because the value property only applies to DOM elements, not an entire list).
function submitApp() {
var authValue = document.getElementsByName("appAuthor")[0].value;
var titleValue = document.getElementsByName("appTitle")[0].value;
alert(authValue);
}
Just add this jQuery to a document.ready section like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
submitApp();
});
function submitApp() {
var authValue = document.getElementsByName("appAuthor")[0].value;
var titleValue = document.getElementsByName("appTitle")[0].value;
alert(authValue);
}
});
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit my Application!">
If you want to submit the form remove the e.preventDefault();, but if you just want the value updated keep it in there to prevent form submition.
You could potentially change the button type into a submit-type and do something like this:
$('body').find('form').on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var authValue = $('input[name="appAuthor"]').val();
var titleValue = $('input[name="appTitle"]').val();
//...here do whatever you like with that information
//Below empty the input
$('input').val('');
})
Or just interpret the form as an array to make your life easier and clean the code up.
When you use getElementsByName or getElementsByClassName, it returns array of elements, so you should put index to access each element.
authValue = document.getElementsByName("appAuthor")[0].value;
