Jquery issue with val not working as expected

I have a couple of forms on a site. On the first form I used the code below to add a border color if the input field is not blank and remove it if it is blank. This works just fine no issues. But I've found that when I try to use the same method on other forms, to do something else using the same logic, it does not work.
I have read through many forums and what I'm seeing is that the code is only read on page load. But I have forms that run the function after the page is far past loading. Can someone give some light to this? I'm really trying to understand the way this works fully.
Code that works on form:
var checkErrorIn;
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
checkErrorIn = setInterval(CheckErrorInput, 0);
});
function CheckErrorInput() {
if (jQuery('body').is('.page-id-6334')) {
// First Name, Last Name validation colors
var pasdFName = jQuery('#first_name').val();
var pasdLName = jQuery('#last_name').val();
if (pasdFName != '') {
jQuery('#first_name').addClass('formConfirm_cc');
} else {
jQuery('#first_name').removeClass('formConfirm_cc');
}
if (pasdLName != '') {
jQuery('#last_name').addClass('formConfirm_cc');
} else {
jQuery('#last_name').removeClass('formConfirm_cc');
}
if (pasdFName != '' & pasdLName == '') {
jQuery('#last_name').addClass('formError_cc');
} else {
jQuery('#last_name').removeClass('formError_cc');
}
if (pasdFName == '' & pasdLName != '') {
jQuery('#first_name').addClass('formError_cc');
} else {
jQuery('#first_name').removeClass('formError_cc');
}
}
}
Code that is not working:
if (jQuery('body').is('.woocommerce-page')) {
var checkActiveName = jQuery('.woo_login_form > form > #username').val();
jQuery('.woo_login_form').on('input', function(){
jQuery('.woo_login_form').addClass('cdc_keep_active');
});
if (checkActiveName =='') {
jQuery('.woo_login_form').removeClass('cdc_keep_active');
}
}
What I am trying to do is fix an issue with a form becoming hidden if not hovered over even when the input has characters. Based on my research I figured I'd do the .on to get the class added when the input got characters. That works but the removal of the characters isn't removing the class. The logic looks right to me. What am I missing?
Thank you in advance for your help and insight.
Update:
Ok so I ended up doing this:
jQuery('.woo_login_form').on('click', function () {
jQuery('.woo_login_form').addClass('cdc_keep_active');
});
jQuery('.custom-login-box > a').on('click', function () {
jQuery('.woo_login_form').toggle();
});
For some reason my class would not add with any of the methods suggested individually so I combined the logic. The first part adds the class that makes the form visible but then the form won't close if clicked out of regardless of the 'removeClass'. So I added a toggle (thank you commenters) method to the "hovered link" to allow users to close the box if not needed.
Would still like to understand why the first method worked in one instance but not the other. Any and all insight appreciated. Thank you.

In your current code example you immediately check for the value of the username field.
var checkActiveName = jQuery('.woo_login_form > form > #username').val();
The thing with this is that checkActiveName will never change, unless it is reassigned elsewhere in the code.
What you need to do is to check the current value after every input of the user. That means moving that line of reading the value of the input inside the input event listener.
if (jQuery('body').is('.woocommerce-page')) {
var $wooLoginForm = jQuery('.woo_login_form');
var $userName = jQuery('#username'); // This ID should only exist once, so no need for complex selectors.
$wooLoginForm.on('input', function() {
var checkActiveName = $userName.val();
if (checkActiveName =='') {
$wooLoginForm.removeClass('cdc_keep_active');
} else {
$wooLoginForm.addClass('cdc_keep_active');
}
});
}
On a sidenote: using setInterval to validate your form is a bad practice. This would basically run infinitely. It doesn't have to. You only have to check if a form is valid after the user enters a value.
Apply the same technique with the event listener like in your second code snippet.
var $document = jQuery(document);
$document.ready(function ($) {
/**
* It might even be better to listen for the input event on the form
* that has to be validated, but I didn't see it in your code.
* Right now it listens for input on the entire page.
*/
$document.on('input', CheckErrorInput);
});

call different events based on user input style javascript

I have a div which contains an input element to enter some values. These values are added just above the div as a list element upon pressing enter or onFocusOut event. To this point it is fine. But if user types some value and does not press enter and directly clicks on save button, the onFocusOut function for that div should not be called. Instead it should take that typed value and call some save function. Do you have any suggestion on how to detect it?
My code snippet is here
JS:
divInput.onkeypress = function (event){
return someTestFunc();
}
divInput.tabIndex="-1";
$(divInput).focusout(function (e) {
if ($(this).find(e.relatedTarget).length == 0) {
addToList();
}
});

It is not a very delicate solution, but you could use a setTimeout before adding the item to the list and clear the setTimeout on save.button click.
Try this:
var $saveButton = $('#exampleButton')[0],
$divInput = $('#exampleInput')[0],
timedEvent = -1;
$($saveButton).on('click', function(event){
if(timedEvent) {
clearTimeout(timedEvent)
}
alert('not add to list & save');
})
$divInput.tabIndex="-1";
$($divInput).on('focusout', function(e) {
timedEvent = window.setTimeout(function() {
if ($(this).find(e.relatedTarget).length == 0) {
alert('add to list');
}
}, 200);
});

jQuery Code not updating after validation

I am making a url shortening website and I have some jQuery code that checks the url input and validates it every time the user makes any changes. If it is valid, the field turns green, if not, it stays red until it turns green. It works fine there, but when the field is correct and turns green, if you make the input incorrect again, it still stays green. Any solutions?
jQuery Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#url').bind('input', function() {
var url = '';
var url = $("#url").val();
if (checkURL(url)) {
$("#url").addClass('green');
} else {
$("#url").addClass('red');
}
});
function checkURL(url) {
return /^(https?|s?ftp):\/\/(((([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(%[\da-f]{2})|[!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=]|:)*#)?(((\d|[1-9]\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.(\d|[1-9]\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.(\d|[1-9]\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])\.(\d|[1-9]\d|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5]))|((([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.)+(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.?)(:\d*)?)(\/((([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(%[\da-f]{2})|[!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=]|:|#)+(\/(([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(%[\da-f]{2})|[!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=]|:|#)*)*)?)?(\?((([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(%[\da-f]{2})|[!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=]|:|#)|[\uE000-\uF8FF]|\/|\?)*)?(#((([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(%[\da-f]{2})|[!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=]|:|#)|\/|\?)*)?$/i.test(url);
}
});

You forgot about removing classes:
if (checkURL(url)) {
$("#url").removeClass('red');
$("#url").addClass('green');
} else {
$("#url").removeClass('green');
$("#url").addClass('red');
}

Hiding other elements by one input field

Please can you provide me some short help with my Javascript code. I have one input field which hides DIV element just if it is totally empty (without text):
if (search_value !== "") {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "frei1";
}
It does exactly what I want, the main problem is once the input field is activated by typing inside and when I start to erase the text until the input is empty, than my hidden DIV appear, even if the input contain no text (because I erased it). This function is good only on first page load, than when I type anything in input and erase it, my JavaScript code is not functional.
Please could you give me an advice how looks like Javasript code, which hide that DIV everytime input field contain no text? Even when the text was erased manually?
Thank you very much and apologize for that type of question. Iam not strong in basic Javascript.

That code will only execute on page load, yet you want it to run each time someone types into your input, to do that you can use the onkeyup event:
document.getElementById("yourInput").onkeyup = function () {
if (this.value !== "") {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "frei1";
}
else {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "";
}
};
DEMO
If you also need it to run on page load aswell however, extract it out to a function and then you can call the function on page load as well:
function setDisplay() {
if (document.getElementById("yourInput").value !== "") {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "frei1";
}
else {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "";
}
}
Then call it on page load:
setDisplay();
Then also attach it to the onkeyup event like we did in the first instance:
document.getElementById("yourInput").onkeyup = setDisplay;

document.getElementById("id").oninput = function() {
if (this.value !== "") {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "frei1";
}
}
or
document.getElementById("id").addEventListener('input',function() {
if (this.value !== "") {
document.getElementById("frei").className = "frei1";
}
}, false);

Using Blur and Submit events on the same form

I am still confused about this. Started learning JQuery about a week now and this is what I have:
var IsValidUserName = false;
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#txtUserName').blur(function () {
if ($('#txtUserName').val().match(isNumberLetter) &&
($('#txtUserName').val().length >= 8)) {
$('#userNameError').removeClass("error").addClass("default");
$('#txtUserName').removeClass("alert");
$('#txtUserName + label').removeAttr("id", "lblUserName");
IsValidUserName = true;
}
else {
$('#userNameError').removeClass("default").addClass("error");
$('#txtUserName').addClass("alert");
$('#txtUserName + label').attr("id", "lblUserName");
}
});
});
Lets say I have another function like above, lets say FirstName:
How do I call this on the submit event? The code works as I need it to when the user leaves a field. Not sure how I can also call this code and also use the variable above to prevent submit if the data entered is invalid.
I need to call the validation above if the user clicks the submit button and stop the submission if the IsValidUserName variable is false.
Somethings just need a little push.
Thanks my friends.

You could always extract it into a function instead of an anonymous function and pass the reference to the object you want to check. This would give you the added benefit of reusing it for other elements.
function validate(ele) {
var valid;
if (ele.val().match(isNumberLetter)) && (ele.val().length >= 8)) {
valid = true;
// update user here.
} else {
valid = false;
// update user here.
}
return valid;
}
$(function(){
$('#firstName').blur(function(){ validate($(this)); });
$('#lastName').blur(function(){ validate($(this)); });
$("yourFrom").submit(function(){
var firstNameIsValid = validate($('#firstName'));
var lastNameIsValid = validate($('#lastName'));
if (!nameIsValid) && (!lastNameIsValid) {
return false;
// User has already been updated
}
});
});
Also, since you are already heavily using javascript for your validation (hope this is convenience and not the only security), you can also disable the submit button entirely until the form meets the proper requirements.
