I want to keep a value from a form by a js function
with document.getElementById("form1")
but in the form there are dynamic inputs amount1 , amount2 ect... (i dont know how many - its from database)
how do i reach form1.amount (p)
when p is the index of the amount ?
thanks
You can retrieve it like this:
var frm = document.getElementById("form1");
if (frm) {
var valueA = frm["amount" + 1].value;
}
A more complete example:
<html>
<form id="f1">
<input name="input1" value="text" type="text" />
</form>
<script>
var f = document.getElementById("f1");
if(f)
{
alert(f["input"+1]);
alert(f["input"+1].value);
}
</script>
</html>
You can get all input elements of a form by use of "getElementsByTagName". Like this:
var form = document.getElementById("form1");
var inputs = form.getElementsByTagName("input");
That way the array "inputs" contains all input elements contained in your form.
Ioannis is pretty much there. To get the value of the ith amount input, use:
var value = document.forms['form1'].elements['amount' + i].value;
A little more robustly:
function getIthAmount(i) {
var o = document.forms['form1'];
o = o && o.elements['amount' + i];
if (o) {
return o.value;
}
}

<form>
<input type="text" name="" value="">
</form>
//for loop used to calculate balance after payment(x) and interest
// the variable I want defined from the form input box
for(i = 6000; i>=10; i = i * (1+0.2/26)-x){
var x = 155;
document.write("Balance " + " $" + i + "<br/><br/>");
}
You could attach a pseudo class in your input element and then get the value inserted like below:
<input type="text" name="" value="" class="js-interest">
<script>
var ele = document.getElementsByClassName("js-interest")[0];
var value = parseFloat(ele.value);
</script>
You can try document.getElementById('input_id').value and then use parseInt to get it as an integer, as below:
var x = parseFloat(document.getElementsByName('number_box').value);
Also, the html must look something like this:
<form>
<input type="text" name="number_box" value="">
</form>
Optionally, instead of document.getElementsByName() you can use document.getElementById() or document.getElementsByClassName().
Update:
If I am not wrong
for(i = 6000; i>=10; i = i * (1+0.2/26)-x){
var x = 155;
document.write("Balance " + " $" + i + "<br/><br/>");
}
It seems like you are writing to the DOM inside a for loop don't do that calculate your ANS and then write to the DOM.
Also, don't read the data from input inside the loop. (You will be repeatedly reading and writing the data thats not good.)
Your for loop for(i = 6000; i>=10; i = i * (1+0.2/26)-x) is incrementing using some expression i = i * (1+0.2/26)-x (make sure it is bound to the condition and its not making the loop infinite)
You can select the value from the input field using the following code
x = parseInt(document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]').value);
document.querySelector it uses CSS style selector. So, to select the input field inside your form. I have added a name to the form as name="my_number"
<input type="text" name="my_number" value="">
now using the css selector form input[name="my_number"] it select the input field inside a form with name "my_number"
The whole Query selector that will return the input element is this,
document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]')
now to get the value of the input field you have to read the value property of the input field.
document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]').value
This will return your input value as string.
Now, we need to parse that string value to a Integer format.
We do that like this, (using parseInt)
parseInt(document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]').value)
I have added you code in a function named calc
function calc() {
var x = parseInt(document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]').value);
var ans= calculate_your_value(x);
document.write("Balance " + " $" + ans + "<br/><br/>");
}
I have fetched the answer from a function named get calculated answer and its good to do this way.
function calculate_your_value(x){
// calculate the ans the for loop seems buggy
//for (i = 6000; i >= 10; i = i * (1 + 0.2 / 26) - x) {}
return x; //dummy ans
}
It is called when you submit the form.
To do that I have added onsubmit='calc()' on your form tag.
<form onsubmit='calc()'>
Additionally, I have added this function that submits the form when you have pressed enter too (Just for fun) :)
document.onkeydown=function(){
if(window.event.keyCode=='13'){
calc();
}
}
It just listens for key down press and check if it is a enter key (keycode is 13)
and calls the same calc function.
function calc() {
var x = parseInt(document.querySelector('form input[name="my_number"]').value);
var ans= calculate_your_value(x);
document.write("Balance " + " $" + ans + "<br/><br/>");
}
document.onkeydown = function() {
if (window.event.keyCode == '13') {
calc();
}
}
function calculate_your_value(x){
// calculate the ans the for loop seems buggy
//for (i = 6000; i >= 10; i = i * (1 + 0.2 / 26) - x) {}
return x; //dummy ans
}
<form onsubmit='calc()'>
<input type="text" name="my_number" value="">
<input type="submit" id="submitbtn" />
</form>
I have a database table with column name qty that holds an int.Now i want to display as many input fields as the value in qty.
So far i haved tried this using iavascript code . Here is my javascript code .
$(function() {
var input = $(<input 'type'="text" />);
var newFields = $('');
$('#qty').bind('blur keyup change', function() {
var n = this.value || 0;
if (n+1) {
if (n > newFields.length) {
addFields(n);
} else {
removeFields(n);
}
}
});
function addFields(n) {
for (i = newFields.length; i < n; i++) {
var newInput = input.clone();
newFields = newFields.add(newInput);
newInput.appendTo('#newFields');
}
}
function removeFields(n) {
var removeField = newFields.slice(n).remove();
newFields = newFields.not(removeField);
}
});
Just store the value in the textfield(hidden)
HTML:
<input type="hidden" id="quantitycount" value="4" />
<div class="textboxarea"></div>
Jquery:
Get the textbox value
var quantitycount=jQuery('#quantitycount').val();
var txthtml='';
for(var txtcount=0;txtcount<quantitycount;txtcount++){
txthtml+='<input type="text" id="txtbox[]" value="" />';
}
jQuery('.textboxarea').html(txthtml);
You can use entry control loops to loop for number of times
Now we can see number of textbox as per need, Just the value from db and store that in the textbox
You can try this
foreach($qty as $qt){
echo '<input type="text">';
}
To append the text fields you need a wrapper on your html form
use some wrapper as mentioned by #Rajesh: and append your text-fields to that wrapper as shown below
$('#qty').bind('blur keyup change', function() {
var n = this.value || 0;
if (n >0) {
for(var x=0;x<n;x++){
$('#textboxarea').append('<input type="text" name="mytext[]"/>');
}
});
similarly you can write your own logic to remove the text-fields also using jquery
i just like to ask regarding adding data in a array. But the data which i wanted to put is from a table of input boxes.. Here's the code that i've been practicing to get data:
http://jsfiddle.net/yajeig/4Nr9m/69/
I have an add button that everytime I click that button, it will store data in my_data variable.
i want to produce an output in my variable something like this:
my_data = [ {plank:"1",thickness:"4",width:"6",length:"8",qty:"1",brdFt:"16"}]
and if i would add another data again, it will add in that variable and it be something like this:
my_data = [ {plank:"1",thickness:"4",width:"6",length:"8",qty:"1",brdFt:"16"},
{plank:"2",thickness:"5",width:"6",length:"2",qty:"1",brdFt:"50"}]
the code that i have right now is really bad, so please help.
Currently my output:
1,4,6,4,1
You should be able to iterate over all of the textboxes using the following:
function add(e) {
var obj = {};
$('#addItem input[type="text"]')
.each(function(){obj[this.name] = this.value;});
myItems.push(obj);
}
Where myItems is a global container for your items and #addItem is your form.
Updated jsfiddle.
If you use a form and a submit button then you should be able to implement a non-JavaScript method to add your information so that the site will be accessible to people without JavaScript enabled.
Try this, sorry for modifying your form, but it works well:
HTML:
<form method="post" action="#" id="add_plank_form">
<p><label for="plank_number">Plank number</label>
<p><input type="text" name="plank_number" id="plank_number"/></p>
<p><label for="plank_width">Width</label>
<p><input type="text" name="plank_width" id="plank_width"/></p>
<p><label for="plank_length">Length</label>
<p><input type="text" name="plank_length" id="plank_length"/></p>
<p><label for="plank_thickness">Thickness</label>
<p><input type="text" name="plank_thickness" id="plank_thickness"/></p>
<p><label for="plank_quantity">Quantity</label>
<p><input type="text" name="plank_quantity" id="plank_quantity"/></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Add"/>
</form>
<p id="add_plank_result"></p>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
var plank_data = Array();
$('#add_plank_form').submit(function() {
// Checking data
$('#add_plank_form input[type="text"]').each(function() {
if(isNaN(parseInt($(this).val()))) {
return false;
}
});
var added_data = Array();
added_data.push(parseInt($('#plank_number').val()));
added_data.push(parseInt($('#plank_width').val()));
added_data.push(parseInt($('#plank_length').val()));
added_data.push(parseInt($('#plank_thickness').val()));
added_data.push(parseInt($('#plank_quantity').val()));
$('#add_plank_form input[type="text"]').val('');
plank_data.push(added_data);
// alert(JSON.stringify(plank_data));
// compute L x W x F for each plank data
var computed_values = Array();
$('#add_plank_result').html('');
for(var i=0; i<plank_data.length; i++) {
computed_values.push(plank_data[i][1] * plank_data[i][2] * plank_data[i][3] / 12);
$('#add_plank_result').append('<input type="text" name="plank_add[]" value="' + computed_values[i] + '"/>');
}
return false;
});
});
Iterate through all keys, and add the values.
(code written from mind, not tested)
var added = { };
for (var i = 0; i < my_data.length; i ++) {
var json = my_data[i];
for (var key in json) {
if (json.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
if (key in added) {
added[key] += json[key];
} else {
added[key] = json[key];
}
}
}
}
You can use the javascript array push function :
var data = [{plank:"1",thickness:"4",width:"6",length:"8",qty:"1",brdFt:"16"}];
var to_add = [{plank:"2",thickness:"5",width:"6",length:"2",qty:"1",brdFt:"50"}];
data = data.concat(to_add);
Sorry I only glanced at the other solutions.
$(document).ready(function() {
var myData=[];
var myObject = {}
$("input").each(function() {
myObject[this.id]=this.value
});
alert(myObject["plank"])
myData.push(myObject)
});
I have created 50 textareas with names def1,def2,def3.....,def50. In my body onLoad() function,I want the same value is set in all these textboxes.
Instead of writing the code 50 times, How can I write some Javascript code to set the value of the textarea, ie in a loop?
I suggest to read the MDC JavaScript guide, as loops and string concatenation are fairly basic operations:
for(var i = 1; i < 51; i++) {
var nameOfTextarea = 'def' + i;
// ...
}
I would give your textboxes ID's (not just names) if possible, and then do something like the following:
var namePrefix = "def";
for(var i = 1; i <= 50; ++i)
{
var textbox = getElementById(namePrefix + i);
// do something to textbox number i.
}
Try jquery for this:
<input type="text" id="t1"/>
<input type="text" id="t2"/>
<input type="text" id="t3"/>
The Jquery code:
var arr = [ "t1", "t2", "t3" ];
jQuery.each(arr, function() {
$("#"+this).val("hello");//$("#" + this).text("hello");
});
Here is the working demo
Try this.
var textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for(var i=0;i<textareas.length;i++){
if(textareas[i].id.indexOf("def") == 0){
textareas[i].value = textareas[i].id;
}
}
You can use tagname property but it will not work if you have some more textbox anywhere else in your page
function loader(){
for(var i=0;i<50;i++)
document.getElementsByName("def"+i)[0].value='Any Value';
}
Preamble: I'm more of a PHP/MySQL guy, just starting to dabble in javascript/jQuery, so please excuse this dumb newbie question. Couldn't figure it out from the Docs.
I have a form without a submit button. The goal is to allow the user to input values into several form fields and use jQuery to total them up on the bottom in a div. The form kinda looks like this but prettier:
<form>
Enter Value: <input class="addme" type="text" name="field1" size="1">
Enter Value: <input class="addme" type="text" name="field2" size="1">
Enter Value: <input class="addme" type="text" name="field3" size="1">
etc.....
<div>Result:<span id="result"></span></div>
</form>
Is it possible to add these up? And if so, can it be done anytime one of the input fields changes?
Thanks.
UPDATE:
Brian posted a cool collaborative sandbox so I edited the code to look more like what I have and it's here:
http://jsbin.com/orequ/
to edit go here:
http://jsbin.com/orequ/edit
Sticking this right after the </form> tag should do it:
<script>
function displayTotal() {
var sum = 0
var values = $('.addme').each(function(){
sum += isNaN(this.value) || $.trim(this.value) === '' ? 0 : parseFloat(this.value);
});
$('#result').text(sum);
}
$('.addme').keyup(displayTotal);
</script>
Here's a demo: http://jsbin.com/iboqo (Editable via http://jsbin.com/iboqo/edit)
Any non numeric or blank values will be disregarded in the calculation (they'll be given a value of zero and hence not affect the sum).
function sumValues() {
var sum = 0;
$("input.addme").each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
var amount = parseInt($this.val(), 10);
sum += amount === "" || isNaN(amount)? 0 : amount;
});
$("#result").text(sum);
}
$(function() {
sumValues();
$("input.addme").keyup(function(){
sumValues();
});
});
Working Demo
(function(){
var context = $("form"), elements = $("input.addme", context);
function getSum(elements) {
var sum = 0;
$(elements, context).each( function() {
var v = parseInt(this.value);
v === parseInt(v,10) ? sum += v : sum = sum;
})
return sum;
}
$(elements).bind("keyup", function() {
$("#result").text( getSum(elements) );
});
})();
isolated scope and context, included dealing with non-integer values, function getSum should rather return a value than do something itself.
Try this:
$(".addme").bind("change",function(){
var _sum = 0;
$(".addme").each(function(i){
_sum += parseInt($(this).val());
});
$("#result").val(_sum);
});
