I want to disable the checkboxes when a limit of checked checkboxes have reached. I have made a function in JavaScript in which on check of two boxes the other two become disable and the value of the checked boxes comes in id="order2". But this function is not at all working.

function myFunction2() {
var coffee = document.querySelectorAll("[name = coffee]"); // To get arrays by Attribute in query selector use [] to get arrays of the same attribute. We can also use ("input[type = checkbox]") to get arrays.
var txt = "";
var i;
for (i = 0; i < coffee.length; i++) {
if (coffee[i].checked) {
txt = txt + coffee[i].value + ", ";
document.getElementById("order2").value = "You ordered a coffee with: " + txt.slice(0, -2);
}
else if (coffee.length === 2) {
coffee[i].setAttribute("style", "pointer-events: none; opacity: 0.5");
document.getElementById("order3").value = "Boxes left uncheck " + i;
}
}
}
</script>

Make two loops. First figure out the total number of checkboxes that are checked - this will tell you whether you need to disable unchecked checkboxes. On the second loop, if a checkbox is checked, add its value to an array. Otherwise, the checkbox is unchecked; if at least 2 checkboxes are checked (identified by the previous loop), disable it.
If the user de-selects an option after hitting the limit of 2, also loop through the checkboxes and enable them all.
function myFunction2() {
const checkboxes = [...document.querySelectorAll("[name = coffee]")];
const boxesChecked = checkboxes.reduce((a, b) => a + b.checked, 0);
document.getElementById("order3").value = "Options left to choose:" + (2 - boxesChecked);
let addedCost = 0;
for (const checkbox of checkboxes) checkbox.disabled = false;
for (const checkbox of checkboxes) {
if (checkbox.checked) addedCost += Number(checkbox.value);
else if (boxesChecked === 2) checkbox.disabled = true;
}
document.getElementById("order2").value = "Costs: " + addedCost;
}

Try to available mixing HTML with JavaScript using onclick. The proper way is with event listeners, for example:
const myCheckboxes = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=checkbox]');
const myReset = document.querySelector('input[type=reset]');
myCheckboxes.forEach(checkbox => checkbox.addEventListener('click', checkCheckboxes));
myReset.addEventListener('click', resetCheckboxes);
function checkCheckboxes() {
let checked = document.querySelectorAll('input:checked');
if (checked.length >= 2) {
myCheckboxes.forEach(checkbox => checkbox.disabled = true);
}
}
function resetCheckboxes() {
myCheckboxes.forEach(checkbox => checkbox.disabled = false);
}

You can evaluate how many are checked when they are clicked and disable the others. Note: the better way to handle this is to use classes and toggle the class.
'use strict';
document.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
if (e.target.type == 'checkbox')
myFunction2(e);
})
function myFunction2(e) {
const coffee = document.querySelectorAll('[name=coffee]');
const checked = document.querySelectorAll(':checked');
const order2 = document.querySelector('#order2');
const order3 = document.querySelector('#order3');
order2.value = checked.length
? "You ordered a coffee with: " + [...checked].map(cb => cb.value).join(', ')
: ''
if (checked.length === 2 && e.target.checked) {
coffee.forEach(cb => {
if (!cb.checked)
cb.disabled = true
});
order3.value = "Boxes left unchecked: " + (coffee.length - checked.length);
return false;
}
else
coffee.forEach(cb=>cb.disabled=false)
order3.value = "Boxes left unchecked: " + (coffee.length - checked.length);
}
input {
display: block;

How to concatenate form array inputs before submission?

Example code:
<form method="get">
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='one'> <!-- checked -->
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='two'>
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='three'> <!-- checked -->
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Forty'>
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Fifty'> <!-- checked -->
</form>
On form submission the URL should look like:
http://some-website.tld/action?anythingOne=one,three&otherThingTwo=Fifty
What I am observing now is,
http://some-website.tld/action?anythingOne=one&anythingOne=three&otherThingTwo=Fifty
The serialize() or serializeArray() is not working in this case. Any ideas?
You could grab the result of .serializeArray and transform it into the desired format:
$(function() {
$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var data = $(this).serializeArray();
var dataByKey = data
.reduce((result, entry) => {
var name = entry.name.replace(/\[\]$/, '');
(result[name] || (result[name] = [])).push(entry.value);
return result;
}, {});
Object.keys(dataByKey)
.forEach((key, _) => dataByKey[key] = dataByKey[key].join(','));
console.log(dataByKey);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form method="get">
<fieldset>
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='one'>1
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='two'>2
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='three'>3
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Forty'>40
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Fifty'>50
</fieldset>
<input type="submit" />
</form>
If you want, you can also use pure javascript without jQuery to get all the checked checkboxes' value, http://jsfiddle.net/jx76dpkh/1/
<form id="myForm" method="get">
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='one'>1
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='two'>2
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='three'>3
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Forty'>40
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Fifty'>50
<input type="submit" />
</form>
JS:
const myForm = document.getElementById('myForm');
myForm.addEventListener('submit', (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
let checkboxes = Array.from(myForm.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]:checked');// build the array like element list to an array
let anythingOne = checkboxes.filter( box => box.name === 'anythingOne[]').map(item => item.value);
let otherThingTwo = checkboxes.filter( box => box.name === 'otherThingTwo[]').map(item => item.value);
});
In case, you are allowed to change html, here is a solution using hidden fields.
function updateChecks() {
$.each(['anythingOne', 'otherThingTwo'], function(i, field) {
var values = $('input[type=checkbox][data-for=' + field + ']:checked').map(function() {
return this.value;
}).get().join(',');
$('input[type=hidden][name=' + field + ']').val(values);
});
}
$(function() {
$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
updateChecks();
});
updateChecks();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="anythingOne" value='' />
<input type="hidden" name="otherThingTwo" value='' />
<input type="checkbox" data-for="anythingOne" value='one' checked='' />
<input type="checkbox" data-for="anythingOne" value='two' />
<input type="checkbox" data-for="anythingOne" value='three' checked='' />
<input type="checkbox" data-for="otherThingTwo" value='Forty' />
<input type="checkbox" data-for="otherThingTwo" value='Fifty' checked='' />
</form>
You could get query string parameters using by serializeArray() method. Then use reduce() to group parameter values by name, and map() to get array of key-value pairs. Then it is possible to concatenate the pairs separated by & using join() method. For example the following snippet creates a target URL using actual value of the form action (current URL by default) and values of checked checkboxes:
$('form').submit(function() {
var queryString = $(this).serializeArray()
.reduce(function(transformed, current) {
var existing = transformed.find(function(param) {
return param.name === current.name;
});
if (existing)
existing.value += (',' + current.value);
else
transformed.push(current);
return transformed;
}, [])
.map(function(param) {
return param.name + '=' + param.value;
})
.join('&');
var action = $(this).prop('action');
var delimiter = (~action.indexOf('?')) ? '&' : '?';
$(this).prop('action', action + delimiter + queryString);
// Only for display result. Remove on real page.
var url = $(this).prop('action');
console.log(url);
return false;
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form method="GET">
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne" value='one'>
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne" value='two'>
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne" value='three'>
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo" value='Forty'>
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo" value='Fifty'>
<button type="submit">Show target URL</button>
</form>
The latest 3 lines are used only to prevent the form sending and display resulted URL.
Also it is possible to solve the question using only serialize() mathod and regular expressions, but it requires lookbehind assertion support in browsers.
You can collect all the checked boxer and join the different parts of the strings.This may not be the most neat or efficient solution, but it works. I used a button to trigger the concatenation. See my comments within the code.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
/* concatenate anythingOne form*/
//collect anythingOne input
var joined_serialized = []
var anythingOne = [];
$.each($("input[name='anythingOne[]']:checked"), function(){
anythingOne.push($(this).val());
});
//join otherThingTwo input
var anythingOne_serialized = "";
if(anythingOne.length > 0){ //only collect if checked
anythingOne_serialized = "anythingOne=" + anythingOne.join(",");
joined_serialized.push(anythingOne_serialized)
}
/* concatenate otherThingTwo form*/
//collect otherThingTwo input
var otherThingTwo = []
$.each($("input[name='otherThingTwo[]']:checked"), function(){
otherThingTwo.push($(this).val());
});
//join otherThingTwo input
var otherThingTwo_serialized = "";
if(otherThingTwo.length > 0){ //only collect if checked
otherThingTwo_serialized = "otherThingTwo=" + otherThingTwo.join(",");
joined_serialized.push(otherThingTwo_serialized)
}
/*join different form names*/
var joined_serialized = joined_serialized.join("&")
if(joined_serialized.length == 1){ //remove last & if only one form is checked
joined_serialized = joined_serialized.slice(0, -1)
}
/*concatenated forms with website*/
var result = "http://some-website.tld/action?"+joined_serialized
console.log(result) //E.g. when Two, Three and Forty are checked: http://some-website.tld/action?anythingOne=two,three&otherThingTwo=Forty
})
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form method="get">
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='one'> <!-- checked -->
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='two'>
<input type="checkbox" name="anythingOne[]" value='three'> <!-- checked -->
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Forty'>
<input type="checkbox" name="otherThingTwo[]" value='Fifty'> <!-- checked -->

Making javascript check what radio form has been selected

I am trying to make a dog race.
Basically what I want is to check what radio the user checked,
compare it to a random number between 1 - 5 and see if he won.
My question is... How do I compare them?
This is my code so far.
function chooser(){
var theDogs = ["dog1","dog2","dog3","dog4","dog5"],
rand = theDogs[Math.floor(Math.random() * theDogs.length)];
document.getElementById("winner").innerHTML = rand;
if(pick == rand)
{document.getElementById("winner").innerHTML =("win!");}
else {
document.getElementById("winner").innerHTML =("loose");
}
}
HTML:
<form id="pick" action="rand">
<input type="radio" name="dog" id="dog1">Dog1<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" id="dog2">Dog2<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" id="dog3">Dog3<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" id="dog4">Dog4<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" id="dog5">Dog5<br>
</form>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Gamble" onclick="chooser();">
<br>
<p id="winner"> </p>
A jQuery and Native JavaScript Approach. Take your pick.
$("#submitjq").click(function() {
var theDogs = ["dog1","dog2","dog3","dog4","dog5"],
rand = theDogs[Math.floor(Math.random() * theDogs.length)];
var pick = $("input[type=radio][name='dog']:checked").val();
if(pick == rand)
{
$("#winner").html("jQuery: Won!");
}
else {
$("#winner").html("jQuery: Lost!");
}
});
document.getElementById('submitjs').onclick = function () {
var theDogs = ["dog1","dog2","dog3","dog4","dog5"],
rand = theDogs[Math.floor(Math.random() * theDogs.length)];
var pick = document.pick.dog.value;
console.log(pick);
if(pick == rand)
{
document.getElementById("winner").innerHTML = "JavaScript: Won!" ;
}
else {
document.getElementById("winner").innerHTML = "JavaScript: Lost!" ;
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="pick" name="pick" action="rand">
<input type="radio" name="dog" value="dog1">Dog1<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" value="dog2">Dog2<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" value="dog3">Dog3<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" value="dog4">Dog4<br>
<input type="radio" name="dog" value="dog5">Dog5<br>
</form>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" id="submitjs" value="Gamble Native JavaScript" />
<input type="submit" id="submitjq" value="Gamble jQuery" />
<br>
<p id="winner"> </p>
You need to give each radio button a value, and then getElementsByName, iterating through to find the one that's checked. See similar thread...

Javascript looping through Page elements to change states?

This is relatively simple, but I'm missing something. I have 10 checkboxes on a page, in a table in a form. They all have names and id's of add0, add1, add2, etc. I wanted to build a "check/uncheck all" checkbox, but my code doesn't seem to be working. On firefox, using firebug, but it can't seem to follow the script execution.
function checkboxprocess(current)
{
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
if (current.checked)
{
document.getElementById("add" + i).checked = true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("add" + i]).checked = false;
}
}
}
Checkbox:
echo "Select All: <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"add\" id=\"add\" value=1 onChange=\"checkboxprocess(this)\"><br>";
You have extra ] in your code:
document.getElementById("add" + i]).checked = false;
And you don't have to check if is current checked each time in the loop, you can do it easily like this:
function checkboxprocess(current) {
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
document.getElementById("add" + i).checked = current.checked;
// current.checked will return true/false
}
}
<form>
Select All: <input type="checkbox" onChange="checkboxprocess(this)">
<br /> <br />
<input type="checkbox" id="add0">
<input type="checkbox" id="add1">
<input type="checkbox" id="add2">
<input type="checkbox" id="add3">
<input type="checkbox" id="add4">
<input type="checkbox" id="add5">
<input type="checkbox" id="add6">
<input type="checkbox" id="add7">
<input type="checkbox" id="add8">
<input type="checkbox" id="add9">
</form>

Javascript form NAN error

Firstly I apologies, I've just starting out with JavaScript
I have a problem with a form. I have two groups of Radio buttons on the form (age and bmi)
Everytime the 'Calculate' button is clicked, I want add the values of each checked Radio button and alert this to the screen.
It works in Chrome, but ALL other browsers give an NAN error.
Can anyone help?
<br>
<input type="radio" name="age" class="myradioButton" value = "1"/>
<input type="radio" name="bmi" class="myradioButton" value = "3"/>
<input type="button" name="Calculate" id="calculate"onclick="calculatehealth()" value="Calculate"/>
<br>
<script>
function calculatehealth() {
var valueAge = document.forms['myForm'].elements["age"].value;
var valueint = parseInt(valueAge);
var valueBmi = document.forms['myForm'].elements["bmi"].value;
var Bmiint = parseInt(valueBmi);
var total = Bmiint + valueint;
alert(total);
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/z4RKx/
HTML
<form id="myForm">
<input type="radio" name="age" class="myradioButton" value="1" />
<input type="radio" name="bmi" class="myradioButton" value="3" />
<input type="button" name="Calculate" value="Calculate" onclick='calculatehealth()' />
</form>
JS
function calculatehealth() {
var valueint = 0;
if (document.forms['myForm'].elements["age"].checked) {
valueint += parseInt(document.forms['myForm'].elements["age"].value);
}
if (document.forms['myForm'].elements["bmi"].checked) {
valueint += parseInt(document.forms['myForm'].elements["bmi"].value);
}
alert(valueint);
}
And if you have many elements this might be a good alternative:
function calculatehealth() {
var valueint = 0;
for(i = 0; i < document.forms['myForm'].elements.length; i++) {
if (document.forms['myForm'].elements[i].checked) {
valueint += parseInt(document.forms['myForm'].elements[i].value);
}
}
alert(valueint);
}

Javascript: Check Uncheck Grouped Checkboxes

I have a form like:-
<form name="frmChkForm" id="frmChkForm">
<input type="checkbox" name="modules[1]" onclick="checkgroup(this)" value="1">Module 1<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="units[1][1]">Unit 1
<input type="checkbox" name="units[1][2]">Unit 2
<input type="checkbox" name="units[1][3]">Unit 3<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="modules[2]" onclick="checkgroup(this)" value="2">Module 2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="units[2][1]">Unit 4
<input type="checkbox" name="units[2][2]">Unit 5
<input type="checkbox" name="units[2][3]">Unit 6<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="modules[3]" onclick="checkgroup(this)" value="3">Module 3<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="units[3][1]">Unit 7
<input type="checkbox" name="units[3][2]">Unit 8
<input type="checkbox" name="units[3][3]">Unit 9
</form>
I want to check/uncheck all the sub checkboxes contained under each Module (Main Checkbox).
For example if i check "Module 1" then only Unit 1,2 and 3 should be checked and on uncheck of "Module 1" those Units should be unchecked. Same thing should behave for other modules.
I am looking for a Javascript function to perform this.
Try this
function checkgroup(obj){
var element = [];
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++)
{
if(inputs[i].name.indexOf('units[' + obj.value + ']') == 0)
{
element.push(inputs[i]);
}
}
if(obj.checked){
for(i=0;i<element.length;i++){
element[i].checked = true;
}
}else{
for(i=0;i<element.length;i++){
element[i].checked = false;
}
}
}
