I wanted to read the value entered in the text box in one of my HTML form, for this I tried jQuery val() method, but it is not working, any idea why?
HTML:
<form method="POST" id="payment-form">
<p>
<label class="card-number" for="txt_cardno"><span>Card Number:</span></label>
<input type="text" size="20" autocomplete="off" class="card-number" id="txt_cardno" name="cardno" />
</p>
<p class="submit submit-button"><a class="btn" href="#">Charge Card</a><br><a class="btn" href="#" onClick="return false">Go Back</a></p>
<div class="clear"></div>
</form>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".submit").live("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var card_num = $('.card-number').val();
alert(card_num);
});
});
the jsfiddle is http://jsfiddle.net/74neK/1/
Use the id to access it (faster):
var card_num = $('#txt_cardno').val();
You've given both the <label> and the <input> the "card-number" class.
Specify the input in the selector. Otherwise .val() gives you the value of the first element found (the label).
var card_num = $('input.card-number').val();

If you're really concerned with micro-optimization, you should use native methods:
var card_num = (document.getElementById('txt_cardno')||{}).value;
http://jsfiddle.net/74neK/5/
Your <label>'s class is the same as your <input>'s, so jQuery is trying and failing to retrieve the value of your <label>. Instead, refer to your <input> by name or id:
$('#txt_cardno').val()
I would recommend ID regardless, because jQuery optimizes it to document.getElementById, which is much faster.
Try to use the ID to access the element:
var card_num = $('#txt_cardno').val();

Select the id of your input element, as opposed to the class: http://jsfiddle.net/btgxu/

I'm trying to access a children of the div form-group, more specifically I'm trying to print out the value of the input
<div class="form-group">
<label>text</label>
<input name="text" type="text" class="form-control" value="123456" />
<script>
alert($(this).find("input").val());
</script>
</div>
why this code doesn't work? I get undefined. I should get 123456
$(this) is pointing to parent instruction. For example:
$('body').on('click', '.element', function(){
$(this).find('input').val();
})
In this case $(this) target is ".element". In your example you are pointing to nothing so you can't get any value.
Try this:
var inputElement = $(document.currentScript).parent().find('input');
alert(inputElement.val());
I have an id on my page from that I have taken all the html by using .html() function in a variable .Now, I want to use the id from the variable in which I have stored the html. How can I do this in jQuery? I am not getting any idea. Please help me in this!
var idhtml= $("#id").html();
Like this, I have the html in idhtml
<input type="text" id="id1" name="id1" value="" class ="test" />
<input type="text" id="id2" name="id1" value="" class ="test" />
<input type="text" id="id3" name="id1" value="" class ="test" />
By idhtml, I want to get the id in the variable.
You can get the IDs like this:
$("input[id^='id']").each(function () {
console.log(this.id);
// Change the id:
$(this).attr("id", "new_id");
});
Select every input with an id that starts with id and for each input returned, print its ID in the console.
You can use .each().
To set the attribute you can use
1) .attr('attribute_name','attribute_value') or
2) .data('attribute_name','attribute_value')
with appropriate selector.
$("[name='id1']").each(function () {
console.log($(this).attr(id));
//to set the attr you can use
$(this).attr('attribute_name','attribute_value');
//to set custom attribute, use .data()
$(this).data('attribute_name','attribute_value');
});
try this
$(document).ready(function(){
var formId = $('form').attr('youId');
});
how can i get that label tag input type="text" value?
This is not my code and the structure can't be altered
<div id="test">
<label class="control input text">
<span class="wrap">startdate</span>
<input type="text">
<span class="warning"></span>
</label>
</div>
Assuming you don't need to support anything below IE8, you can use document.querySelector to select that specific input element and then get its value via its .value property:
var value = document.querySelector('#test label.control input').value;
Just like that
var value = document.querySelector('#test .control input').value;
you can do that in jQuery
var html = $('#test lable').html();
Given the following html:
<div class="product">
<span class="name">Product name</span>
<span class="price">Product price</span>
</div>
<input type="button" class="button" value="Purchase" onclick="myfunction()" />
<input type="hidden" name="p-name" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="p-price" value="">
I am trying to build a function in javascript that takes the value from span.name (span.price) and adds it to input p-name (input p-price).
How can you do that?
Apperantly http://api.jquery.com/val/ is not working as expected.
EDIT
Thanks all for answering!
I've corrected the html error you guys pointed out in the comments.
Try this:
$('.product span').each(function () {
var selector = 'input[name=p-' + this.className + ']';
$(selector).val(this.innerHTML);
});
Fiddle
You will need a button or something to fire the copying:
<input type="button" id="copy_values" value="Copy the values" />
and your javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#copy_values").click(function(){
//Change the value of the input with name "p-name" to the text of the span with class .name
$('input[name="p-name"]').val($('.name').text());
$('input[name="p-price"]').val($('.price').text());
});
});
For span we use text() function instead of val()
.val() is used when we use input and .text() is used when we use span in HTML.
Reference link : http://api.jquery.com/text/
That's going to be hard to click to a HIDDEN field.
If you change input type to text, then in onclick you can write: this.value=document.getElementById('name').innerHTML; (to use this, you have to add ID with name to your )
OR, you can create a seperate button, and onclick method can be fired.
i have some html code like this
<form name="first"><input name="firstText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="secondText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="ThirdText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="FourthText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="FifthText" type="text" value="General" />
</form>
<form name="second"><input name="firstText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="secondText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="ThirdText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="FourthText" type="text" value="General" />
<input name="FifthText" type="text" value="General" />
</form>
i want to select "secondText" of form "second" using jquery or javascript and i want to change value of it using jquery.
Using jQuery:
var element = $("form[name='second'] input[name='secondText']");
Using vanilla JS:
var element = document.querySelector("form[name='second'] input[name='secondText']");
Changing the value: element.val(value) or element.value = value, depending of what you are using.
To the point with pure JS:
document.querySelector('form[name=particular-form] input[name=particular-input]')
Update:
This selector will return the input named "particular-input" inside form named "particular-form" if exists, otherwise returns null.
The selector filter "form[name=particular-form]" will look for all forms with name equals "particular-form":
<form name="particular-form">
The selector filter "input[name=particular-input]" will look for all input elements with name equals "particular-input":
<input name="particular-input">
Combining both filters with a white space, I mean:
"form[name=particular-name] input[name=particular-input]"
We are asking for querySelector(): Hey, find all inputs with name equals "particular-input" nested in all forms with name equals "particular-form".
Consider:
<form name="particular-form">
<input name="generic-input">
<input name="particular-input">
</form>
<form name="another-form">
<input name="particular-input">
</form>
<script>
document.querySelector('form[name=particular-form] input[name=particular-input]').style.background = "#f00"
</script>
This code will change the background color only of the second input, no matter the third input have same name. It is because we are selecting only inputs named "particular-input" nested in form named "particular form"
I hope it's more clear now.
;)
By the way, unfortunately I didn't found good/simple documentation about querySelector filters, if you know any reference, please post here.
// Define the target element
elem = jQuery( 'form[name="second"] input[name="secondText"]' );
// Set the new value
elem.val( 'test' );
Try
$("form[name='second'] input[name='secondText']").val("ENTER-YOUR-VALUE");
You can do it like this:
jQuery
$("form[name='second'] input[name='secondText']").val("yourNewValue");
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/YLgcC/
Or:
Native Javascript
Old browsers:
var myInput = [];
myInput = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i = 0; i < myInput.length; i++) {
if (myInput[i].parentNode.name === "second" &&
myInput[i].name === "secondText") {
myInput[i].value = "yourNewValue";
}
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/YLgcC/1/
New browsers:
document.querySelector("form[name='second'] input[name='secondText']").value = "yourNewValue";
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/YLgcC/2/
You can try this line too:
$('input[name="elements[174ec04d-a9e1-406a-8b17-36fadf79afdf][0][value]"').mask("999.999.999-99",{placeholder:" "});
Add button in both forms. On Button click find nearest form using closest() function of jquery. then using find()(jquery function) get all input values. closest() goes in upward direction in dom tree for search and find() goes in downward direction in dom tree for search. Read here
Another way is to use sibling() (jquery function). On button click get sibling input field values.
