I have a form which is using a select list to jump around my site. This is currently using onclick window.location so user selects the page and presses go and it goes to that page.
I now need to add a small text box for the user to type in a code (say 123456) and then when they click go, it should go to the url selected, but with the [CODE] being the number entered in the box. I discovered jquery replaceAll so it gave me the idea to have this in the select html:
http ://jumptothispage.com/parts/p[CODE]/edit
http ://jumptothispage.com/jobs/j[CODE]/edit
When you press go, it would replace all [CODE] in that html with the code entered and then jump to that page selected, e.g.
http ://jumptothispage.com/parts/p123456/edit
http ://jumptothispage.com/jobs/j123456/edit
I am already using jquery on my site so makes sense to try and utilize that again. I'd appreciate a pointer and or other suggestions instead.
Thanks,
Paul.
A workaround: Store the code in a cookie, so at least it's not visible to every person who looks at the URL bar. Then in every onclick, fit it into the URL to send the user to the "right" page.
Or, have your select option's value literally read CODE, which your onclick interprets to mean "The user hasn't set the code yet." When the user types in the code, store it in a variable (in the example below, realcode), and you can then do this:
$('select#navigation option').each(function(idx, el) {
$(el).attr('value', $(el).attr('value').replace(/CODE/, realcode));
});

I have a task where I need to automate Sign in form authentication. For this example, I'll show you Tiktok authentication form (Mobile interface, not desktop. E-mail and password option)
If I enter text values into the fields programmatically, the Login button won't become active, and if I manually focus on the fields with a mouse click, the value disappears. These are two lines of code I run to put the value in:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email")[0];
email_input.value = 'sample#email.com';
I understand it needs to trigger a certain event to assign a value into it's JS model, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have tried sending change or input events onto this text field with no luck using this code:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email");
email_input[0].value = 'sample#email.com';
custom_event = new Event('input');
email_input[0].dispatchEvent(custom_event);
// tried also change, textInput like so:
custom_event = new Event('change');
email_input[0].dispatchEvent(custom_event);
But this does not seem to help.
So my goal is to put values into both fields Email and Password in the way it will be detected and Log in button would become active.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated
You should first focus needed input element and then execute document.execCommand with insertText command:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email");
email_input[0].focus();
document.execCommand('insertText', false, 'sample#email.com');
With this method input\textarea value modification should be captured by all major frameworks including Angular and Vuejs. This modification will be processed by frameworks the same way as if user pressed "Paste" option in browser main menu.
It all depends...
Who/what are you? A normal browser user? A bot? The browser author?
Because code like this is useless...
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email")[0];
What document are you referring to? Who's document? Did you inject this instruction into the page and executed it?
You're not telling us where you're coming from, but anyway...
If you are the browser author, or you can run JavaScript macros from your browser (ie: the Classic browser) then you can do something like this...
var Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="password"]');
if(Z.length>0){
Z[0].value='password123';
Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="email"]');
if(Z.length>0){Z[0].value='email#abc.com';}
}
To automatically populate such fields, and if you also want you can SubmitButtonID.click() the submit button for as long as the isTrusted property is not tested by the website.
Continued...
Test if normal (non-custom) submit button exists and click...
Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="submit"]');
if(Z.length>0){
if(Z[0].hasAttribute('disabled')){Z[0].removeAttribute('disabled');} <--- Enable it if disabled
Z[0].click(); <--- automate click
}
I'm writing an edit function (plain javascript & HTML / Chrome / Windows 10).
The data is in localStorage as a series of records, just 2 records in the toy code mentioned below.
I want the user to specify the number of the record to edit, then the code should pre-fill the textarea field with the retrieved content of that record. I want to allow the user to make changes and then press a Store button to store it back in localStorage.
My problem is that when I prefill the input field, I see the record content briefly and then the input field clears. I've tried .value and .defaultValue
editField.value = localStorage.getItem('jnl' + locStoreNo).replace(/(.*?) `\d*?`/, "$1");
and
editField.defaultValue = localStorage.getItem('jnl' + locStoreNo).replace(/(.*?) `\d*?`/, "$1");
the result is the same. (The regex is to hide a sequence number)
The code is in a JSFiddle here: https://jsfiddle.net/roygrubb/zxedbfqr/2/
That performs more or less the same - it shows the value briefly - but then does something different: It goes to a 404. I don't understand this either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What I'm trying to do seems so basic, that I think I must be missing something blindingly obvious.
What have I missed? Thanks!
Whenever you've got a <form> that you want to handle through JavaScript, you have to ensure that the default form submission action does not happen. If the <form> does not have an "action" attribute, the default is to reload the current page.
By default, a <button> element will be assumed to have "submit" as its type. To prevent form submission, therefore, the simplest thing to do is make the button have "button" as its type.
That may not be all you need to do, depending on the details of the form. It may be necessary (or simply a good defensive move) to have a handler for the "submit" event on the form to prevent the default action.
I am designing my own template by making changes to the default template code of OpenCart 2.0.2.0. After repositioning the Search field, it no longer works: it will not submit on pressing Enter, and the search value is not submitted in the URL when clicking the search button in the form (the form submits though).
In order to try and find what goes wrong when relocating the input field, I have made a fresh installation of OpenCart on my WampSever, and without changing anything else, I moved the input field to the main nav, right after the categories UL -- by simply copying the PHP tag that prints the search template:
<?php echo $search; ?>
Nothing else. The form submits on pressing Enter on the keyboard, and it submits on clicking the search button, but the search parameter is no longer appended to the URL, e.g.
http://localhost/opencart/index.php?route=product/search&search=macbook
I need your help to find out why this happens and how I can move the search field without losing its functionality. I suppose this is Javascript related but not sure how.
To answer my own question:
Yes, it is Javascript related. Since the search input field is not wrapped in a , in order to submit it, and get the search query, two jQuery functions have been written (in catalog/view/javascript/common.js, lines 64-81).
These functions get the search input value by first referencing the within which the input is originally located:
[line 68]
var value = $('header input[name=\'search\']').val();
[line 79]
$('header input[name=\'search\']').parent().find('button').trigger('click');
To make it work, I had to replace the two instances of "header" with the ID of the menu:
var value = $('#menu input[name=\'search\']').val();
Sorted then!
Hope this helps some other OpenCart beginner like myself :)
I have the following javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a[href*="profile"]:contains("David")')
.closest('td').find('.fightMobster').click();
});
This searches the page content for the word 'David' and clicks the link.
I'm wanting to progress this. Instead of searching the page contents, I want to search for the LINK text.
For example, the link to 'David' might be http://www.example.com/164522
So I'd like to search the page for 164522 instead.
Also, I'd like to implement a form where you can specify the text you are searching for. Sort of a text box where you can type 164522 and a button which starts and stops to search process.
In your case you should use
$('a:contains(David)')
I want to disable/enable a button with JavaScript. Because the JavaScript is called, after a Flash animation is rendered, the button exists at the time of the execution.
The button is in a hierarchy:
<html><body><form#form1><div#control><asp:Button#Export1>
I tried for hours to get a reference to that button, but nothing seems to work:
document.getElementById("Export1")
// and
document.getElementbyId("form1").getElementById("control").getElementById("Export1")
// and many more
How to get a reference to that button (in order to change btnref.disabled = true)?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Have you tried right-clicking in the document and selecting "view source" to see how that code actually renders? An asp:Button is a server control, that gets translated to an input field during render. During this, the ID of the field will not be exactly what you set it to in your aspx.
You can use Export1.ClientID at serverside to get the ID of the control.
If it's the only button in your div, this should work:
var btnref = document.getElementById("controls").getElementsByTagName("button")[0];
Usually the id of the button won't stay the same in the page source. Click on view source in the HTML and look for that tag to find the new id. You can then use that id in something like:
document.getElementbyId("Export1_some_unique_id")...
