I'm designing a series of forms. Is there a way I can mark a field to be populated by the browsers cursor (just like this pages loads with the cursor already in the title field above).
Thanks
Giles
Use focus() function like this in Javascript. Put this code at the end of your HTML code, just before the </body> tag:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("textboxid").focus();
</script>
Replace the textboxid with the ID of the <input> text box you are using in your form.
You can use Javascript to set your desired input focus:
Using JavaScript:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("xtpo_1").focus();
</script>
Using a JavaScript Library like Jquery:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#xtpo_1").focus();
});
</script>
Even better, write an function
function autoFocus(x){
document.getElementById(x).focus();
}
and put it in a separate javascript file called basic_functions.js or something.
Load that file at the top of your page in the header like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="basic_functions.js"></script>
In your body tag, call the function onload.
<body onload="focus('first_name')" >
Then create you input:
<input type='text' value='' name='first_name' id='first_name' />
That way you keep javascript functions out of your page and you can reuse the function on other pages. you can then put other basic functions like this in that file and include it in all pages where it is needed
In a HTML5 page, for browser supporting HTML5, you can do:
<input name="lorem" autofocus>
Vanilla Javascript:
<input id="lorem" name="lorem">
...
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("lorem").focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('#email').focus();
});
Also you can do it in jQuery style and paste js-code anywhere:
HTML:
<input type="text" id="name"><br />
<input type="text" id="email">
Javascript:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('#email').focus();
});

I need build code such : http://fiddle.jshell.net/bwKZt/152/
but my code dosen't work ! I am a beginner. Please help me.
index.php:
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<script>
$("#label").bind("keyup", changed).bind("change", changed);
function changed() {
$("#url").val(this.value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="label" />
<input type="text" id="url" readonly />
</body>
</html>
Some of the JavaScript here isn't native JavaScript , but is using a plugin called jQuery that makes searching and manipulating HTML elements easier.
When you see $(), that's the jQuery way of finding elements. But it won't work because you don't have jQuery referenced at all.
If you don't want to use jQuery, you can find elements with something like document.getElementById('label').
But lots of people use jQuery to make referencing page elements short and sweet, as with $('#label').
Try to reference jQuery first, like:
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head>
<!-- The below line references an externally hosted copy of jQuery 2.2.4 -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
// The below chunk is telling it to bind to the keyup event only AFTER the document has fully loaded.
// Sometimes when your binding code is executed, the elements you wish to bind to aren't loaded yet.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#label").bind("keyup", changed).bind("change", changed);
});
function changed() {
$("#url").val(this.value);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" id="label" />
<input type="text" id="url" readonly />
</body>
</html>
The first problem is because you haven't include jquery with a script tag to solve that add this code in the head of you html file if you have the Internet connection to load Jquery from CDN
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.js"></script>
or you can download Jquery file from Jquery site and you will have it locally
after that you must execute this code after the executing the jquery ready function
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#label").bind("keyup", changed).bind("change", changed);
function changed() {
$("#url").val(this.value);
}
})
i am planing to make my text box editable...
so i removed the id from the disabled code...
even i tested in fiddle its not working...
providing my cod below....
i am providing part of my code in fiddle i am not able to see the text box...
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("p").click(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>If you click on me, I will disappear.</p>
<p>Click me away!</p>
<p>Click me too!</p>
</body>
</html>
You have to use input instead of form:input, browser can render standard html tags and you have to provide standard html.
Live Demo
Change
<input id="behvrName" type="text" cssClass="icwText" path="" />
To
<input id="behvrName" type="text" cssClass="icwText" path="" />
cssClass and are also not standard attributes and you need to change them if you want them to be interpreted and act accordingly by browser. cssClass would be class.
spring:message and form:input are not plain HTML tags; rather, they are pseudo-tags processed by your server-side framework. If you want to use JSFiddle, you must use plain HTML.
Furthermore, your input's id is behvrName, but you're not selecting that. If you want to disable that input, use an appropriate selector $('#behvrName') in the JavaScript portion.
I am using jQuery Form to post data. I am sending some response from the server that I want present in the div specified with the target option. I can see in firebug that the response is actually returned to the browser but the information is not turning up in the specified div.
I'm also using jQuery Multifiles in order to be able to upload more than one file. This part works fine and I can upload several files and those are presented on the server.
This is my own smicadminjavascripts.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#newticketform').bind('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // <-- important
$(this).ajaxSubmit({
target: '#output'
});
});
});
my .html:
<html>
<head>
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='jquery-1.7.1.min.js'></script>
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='jquery.MultiFile.js'></script>
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='jquery.form.js'></script>
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript' src='smicadminjavascripts.js'></script>
<head>
<body>
<form id='newticketform' enctype='multipart/form-data'method='POST'>
<input type='hidden' name='MAX_FILE_SIZE' value='1000000' />
<label for='title'>Rubrik</label> <input type='text' id='title' name='title'/><br/><br/>
<label for='description'>Beskrivning</label> <textarea rows='15' cols='50' id='description' name='description'></textarea><br/>
<!-- The file element -- NOTE: it has an ID -->
<input class='multi' id='my_file_element' type='file' name='file[]' maxlength='5' >
<div id='files_list'></div>
<input type='submit' name='upload' value='Upload' />
</form>
<div id='output'></div>
</body>
</html>
What is my problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks!
I downloaded the jquery.form again (http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js) and replaced the it.
Still it didn't work. The problem was that the file wasn't downloaded to the development server again (using NetBeans/ftp). I had to check the box again in order to get it downloaded.
Now it works. Don't really know what the actuall problem was.
I would like to dynamically modify the values of certain form elements, more specifically certain input text fields. So far, whenever I load my html page, I am just getting the blank input field, but I am expecting it to contain the value of 1. Here is an example of how I am trying to do this.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var myForm = $(this).getElementById('form1');
myForm.elements['Q01'].value = '1';
});
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" name="Q01" maxlength="1" />
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The reason this needs to be done dynamically is because the value of form could be different every time. Am I even approaching this correctly? Suggestions on how I can achieve my intended functionality?
-- EDIT --
None of the solutions seem to be doing the trick. Here is an update of my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
//$("#Q01").val("1");
$("#form1 input[name='Q01']").val("1");
//$("input[name='Q01']").val('1');
});
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="Q01" name="Q01" maxlength="1" />
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
I am expecting when I load the page, that the input text will have 1 in it. But the input text keeps showing up empty. Any ideas?
-- EDIT --
Here is a solution derived from the answers from below that I like:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.6.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#Q01").val("1");
});
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="Q01" name="Q01" maxlength="1" />
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
If you are using jQuery you could just change the id attribute to name in the input elements and then do something like this:
$('#Q01').val('1')
The val method sets the value sou can find more here: http://api.jquery.com/val/
You've got your ready handler correct. One of the great things about jQuery is its selector engine. I recommend taking a look at the documentation to help familiarize yourself with it.
To do what you want, I'd recommend something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#form1 input[name='Q01']").val("1");
});
The #form1 is the same as document.getElementById("form1"). The input[name='Q01'] grabs all input elements that have a name attribute equal to Q01. The .val method sets the selected elements value to the string 1.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form input[name='Q01']).val('1');
)};
This should work:
$("input[name='Q01']").val('1');
But why not to set id's to your inputs?
Hope it works
i have the following relevant code in the header of my html doc:
test1.value = System.Gadget.Settings.read("Date1");
And I'm trying to display the test1 value in the body of my html doc.
It displays when i use:
<input type="text" id="test1" />
But isn't working when i use (in the body):
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(document.getElementById('test1').id);
</script>
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
This might be obvious, but why not just write:
<html>
<body>
<div>Here's the Date1 value:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(System.Gadget.Settings.read("Date1"));
</script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If this does not do what you want, please explain what your expected output is.
That doesn't work because your script is in the header of your page and the declaration os the input text1 is in the body .. so what happends is that when the browser runs the script it won't find the object.
You will need something like this ...
<html>
<body>
<input type="text" id="test1" />
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(document.getElementById('test1').id);
</script>
</body>
</html>
