How to print the values in the same input text field using JS

I have created 5 input text boxes using HTML and made a button while clicking the button the values will print the result input text box. The first 4 fields are my inputs and the last text field is my output. unable to debug the issue. kindly find the code and help to find the issue.
function JS(){
var h=document.getElementById('h').value;
var w=document.getElementById('w').value;
var g=document.getElementById('g').value;
var t=document.getElementById('t').value;
var total =(h+w+g+t);
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML=total;
}
<h2> Calculator</h2>
<input type="text" placeholder="value1" id="h">
<input type="text" placeholder="value2"id="w">
<input type="text" placeholder="value3" id="g">
<input type="text" placeholder="value4" id="t">
<input type="text" placeholder="result" id="result">
<!--
<p
id="result">
</p>
-->
<button id="btn" onClick="JS()">Calculate</button>

There are two keys to resolving your issue:
Coerce your inputs to numbers, which I'm doing by adding a + in front of the value assignments. If you don't do this, your values may be treated like strings and concatenated rather than added like numbers.
Set the value of the input element, not the innerHTML. If you'd rather use a <p> element, which it appears you commented out in your sample code (and which I restored for completeness of my answer), consider using innerText.
See example here:
function JS() {
var h = +document.getElementById('h').value;
var w = +document.getElementById('w').value;
var g = +document.getElementById('g').value;
var t = +document.getElementById('t').value;
let p_result = document.getElementById('p_result');
var total = (h + w + g + t);
document.getElementById('result').value = total;
p_result.innerText = total;
}
<h2> Calculator</h2>
<input type="text" placeholder="value1" id="h">
<input type="text" placeholder="value2" id="w">
<input type="text" placeholder="value3" id="g">
<input type="text" placeholder="value4" id="t">
<input type="text" placeholder="result" id="result">
<br>
<p id="p_result" style="color:red;"></p>
<br>
<button id="btn" onClick="JS()">Calculate</button>

function JS(){
var h=document.getElementById('h').value;
var w=document.getElementById('w').value;
var g=document.getElementById('g').value;
var t=document.getElementById('t').value;
var total =(Number(h)+Number(w)+Number(g)+Number(t));
document.getElementById('result').value =total;
}
.value instead of .innerHTML
also, you should convert inputs values to number cause instead of making the sum will be as consider them string( for example if you type 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 without converting to number will be 1234 if you convert to number will be 10

Set hidden form field from URL paramater

I'm trying to set the value of a hidden field in my form through a URL parameter.
Here is the form:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/thanks" class="infusion-form" method="POST">
<input name="inf_field_LeadSourceId" type="hidden" value="null" />
<input class="infusion-field-input" id="inf_field_FirstName" name="inf_field_FirstName" placeholder="First Name *" type="text" required/>
<input class="infusion-field-input" id="inf_field_Email" name="inf_field_Email" placeholder="Email *" type="text" required/>
<div class="infusion-submit">
<button class="infusion-recaptcha" type="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
I need to set the value of this field, specifically:
<input name="inf_field_LeadSourceId" type="hidden" value="null" />
with a url parameter.
Ideally, I would like it to be something like this:
https://website.com/page?leadsource=123
So it would set that field to have the value of "123"
I tried doing this using the javascript code below, but no luck :(
<script>
function getParameterByName(name) {
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(location.search);
return results === null ? 120 : decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
}
var LeadId = getParameterByName("leadsource");
jQuery(".infusion-form input[name='inf_field_LeadSourceId']").val(LeadId);
</script>
Any advice on how I can tweak my javascript to prefill my form with the URL parameter?

JavaScript isn't the best with URL parameters. If I'm understanding your question correctly, it'd probably be ideal for you to simply inject the parameter directly into the HTML field with PHP (requiring no JavaScript).
<input name="inf_field_LeadSourceId" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['leadsource']; ?>" />

Here's the javascript I used to base my solutions filling Infusionsoft hidden fields values.
Also may also try to debug your javascript flow to see if you're catching and parsing the value properly (for example, adding conlose.log(var) line).

Submit multiple inputs through one form and append to array

So I am relatively new to JavaScript but I have experience with programming. I have this code which allows the user to define how many addresses they would like to enter so then I can query google maps and find the geographic center. The problem with this is that it looks very unprofessional in the sense that they have to enter the number of fields on one page and then they are prompted with that many boxes on the next page. Is there any way to make only one form(with all the parameters I require for one entry) and then after they click submit, I append it to an array and then when they decide they have enough addresses they hit the final submit so then I can process the data using a PHP call? Any help would be great, but I am new to this so I might need more spelt out explanations, sorry. Thanks again!
TL;DR: I want to create a single entry field which when submit is clicked, the page does not refresh or redirect to a new page and appends the data entry to an array. From there the user can enter a new input and this input would also be appended to the array until the user has decided no more inputs are necessary at which point they would click the final submit allowing me to process the data.
Here is the code I have so far:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
var c = 0;
$("#button1").click(function(){
c = $("#inputs").val();
$("#mydiv").html("");
for(i=0;i<c;i++){
$("#mydiv").append('<input type="text" id="data'+i+'" name="data'+i+'" /><br/>');
}
});
$("#button2").click(function(){
$.post("getdata.php",$("#form1").serialize(),function(data){
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1">
Type the number of inputs:
<input type="text" id="inputs" name="inputs" />
<input type="button" id="button1" value="Create" />
<div id="mydiv"></div>
<input type="button" id ="button2" value="Send" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
getdata.php
<?php
for( $i=0; $i<$_POST["inputs"] ; $i++){
echo $_POST["data".$i]."\n";
}
?>

Here is code:
EDIT: I rewrite the code, so you can also delete each address
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#add-address").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var numberOfAddresses = $("#form1").find("input[name^='data[address]']").length;
var label = '<label for="data[address][' + numberOfAddresses + ']">Address ' + (numberOfAddresses + 1) + '</label> ';
var input = '<input type="text" name="data[address][' + numberOfAddresses + ']" id="data[address][' + numberOfAddresses + ']" />';
var removeButton = '<button class="remove-address">Remove</button>';
var html = "<div class='address'>" + label + input + removeButton + "</div>";
$("#form1").find("#add-address").before(html);
});
});
$(document).on("click", ".remove-address",function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).parents(".address").remove();
//update labels
$("#form1").find("label[for^='data[address]']").each(function(){
$(this).html("Address " + ($(this).parents('.address').index() + 1));
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="form1" method="post">
<div class="address">
<label for="data[address][0]">Address 1</label>
<input type="text" name="data[address][0]" id="data[address][0]" />
</div>
<button id="add-address">Add address</button>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
After form submit you can loop through addresses like this:
foreach ($_POST['data']['address'] as $address){
...your code
}
Hope this help! :)

Normally how I do this kind of stuff is to provide a user ability to add many input fields at client level and send them all in one array when submitting the form. That is more professional I believe. Try this JSFiddle to see what I mean.
<input type="text" name="address[]" />

if you want to POST dynamic value in a form you can do it like this:
<input type="text" name="adress[]" />
so in your case you could add new fields with javascript or jquery with the same name name="adress[]".
and in your PHP you get an array:
$adresses= $_POST['adress'];
foreach ($adresses as $adress) {
echo $adress;
}
FIDDLE DEMO

To process an array of inputs you can use the following convention:
HTML: simply add square brackets to the name attribute
<input type="text" id="data'+i+'" name="data[]" />
PHP: Post returns an array
for( $i=0; $i<$_POST["data"] ; $i++){
echo $_POST["data"][$i]."\n";
}
JAVASCRIPT: $("#form1").serialize() will retrieve all the inputs data as name=value pairs even the inputs that are added dynamically. There's no need to keep an array you can just process all of them at the end.

You don't need to create an array, $_POST is actually doing it all for you already.
So I suggest you do the following: using javascript (or jQuery), keep the button clicks, but make sure the form submission is prevented (using preventDefault on the form) [EDIT: You actually won't need this, as if the buttons are just buttons, no submit inputs, the form will not submit anyway], and just make sure you append another element every time they click a plus button or something; make sure you increment the name attributes of each input element that gets created.
When the user then creates submit, use submit the form via js, then on your getdata.php you can simply loop through all the values and use them that way you want. You will even be able to know the exact number by calculating the number of times a new input element has been added to the form.
I'll try to write up something for you in a minute, but if I was clear enough, you should be able to do that too.
EDITED: So here is what I've come up with; give it a try and see if this is something for you.
This is how the form would look like:
<form id="form1" name="myform" method="post" action="getdata.php">
Enter address 1: <input type="text" name="address-1" /> <input type="button" value="More" onclick="createNew()" />
<div id="mydiv"></div>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
And this would be the js code:
var i = 2;
function createNew() {
$("#mydiv").append('Enter address ' + i +': <input type="text" name="address-' + i +'" /> <input type="button" value="More" onclick="createNew()" /><br />');
i++;
}
...and then getdata.php:
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
echo 'The value for '.$key.' is: '.$value.'<br />';
}
here is a fiddle demo

jquery append input field and post

$('#submit').click(function(){
$.post(
'/foo.php',{
name:myform.name.value,
interest:myform.interest.value,
interest2:myform.interest2.value...
}
});
<input type="button" value="Add more interest" />
I have a form use jquery post. There is a button can append more input type text.
My questions
1 when user click and append more input field, in side of $.post(... how can I add more script, so I can post it to next page?
2 in my php page
if(isset($_POST['interest1'], $_POST['interest2']...)){}
how can I know how many extra input fields user has added?
3 how can I limit maximum 3 input fields user can append?

Are you setting form fields manually in your post request?
Bad idea, you'd be better of using jQuery's serialize method:
$.post("/foo.php", $("#myForm" ).serialize() );
For your second question: use array naming on your form elements:
<input type="text" name="interest[]">
<input type="text" name="interest[]">
<input type="text" name="interest[]">
<input type="text" name="interest[]">
This way you get an array in your post array and can use it like so:
foreach ($_POST['interest'] as $interest) {
doStuff();
}
For your third question I'm assuming you wrote a JS method that
adds an input field to the form? If so you could implement
a limit this way:
window.formFieldCount = 1;
function addFormField() {
if (window.formFieldCount >= 3) {
alert('You can only add three interests!');
return false;
}
// Do your form magic here
window.formFieldCount++;
}

HTML:
<form name="some_name">
<div id="interests">
<input type="text" name="interests[]" />
</div>
<input id="more-interests" type="button" value="Add more interest" />
<input id="submit" type="button" value="Submit" />
</form>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function(){
var maximumNumberOfInterests = 3;
$('#more-interests').click(function(e){
if ($("input[name='interests[]']").size() < maximumNumberOfInterests) {
$('#interests').append('<input type="text" name="interests[]" />');
} else {
alert('The maximum number of interests has been reached!');
}
});
$('#submit').click(function(){
$.post('/foo.php', $('form').serialize());
});
});
PHP:
if (count($_POST['interests'])) {
foreach ($_POST['interests'] as $interest) {
echo $interest;
}
}
Here is a DEMO of the HTML/Javascript part

q2. can you change form like this:
static inputs
<input name='static[something]'>
<input name='static[somebody]'>
<input name='static[etc]'>
and dynamically generated inputs
<input name='dynamic[]'>
<input name='dynamic[]'>
<input name='dynamic[]'>
php
if (isset($_POST['dynamic']))
{
foreach ($_POST['dynamic'] as $key => $value)
{
/* do some shit with dynamic inputs */
}
}

Please use prepend function before form submit
Like
$("#myForm").prepend("<input type=\"text\" name=\"interest"+counter+"\"").submit(function(){
console.log($("#myForm" ).serializeArray())
$.post(Event.target.action, $(Event.target).serializeArray(), function(data){
// your code here
})
return false;
})

How to manipulate Get query?

I have the following form from http://regain.sourceforge.net/:
<form name="search" action="search.jsp" method="get">
<p class="searchinput">
<b>Suchen nach: </b>
<input name="query" size="30"/>
<select name="order" size="1" ><option selected value="relevance_desc">Relevanz</option><option value="last-modified_asc">Dokumentendatum aufsteigend</option><option value="last-modified_desc">Dokumentendatum absteigend</option</select>
<input type="submit" value="Suchen"/>
</p>
</form>
the search form works fine. The URL looks like the following:
http://localhost:8080/regain/search.jsp?query=queryfieldvalue&order=relevance_desc
Now I want to add a checkbox to manipulate the value of the input field query.
If the checkbox is checked then the query value should look like filename:"queryfieldvalue"
http://localhost:8080/regain/search.jsp?query=filename%3A%22queryfieldvalue%22&order=relevance_desc
What's the best way to do this? Javascript? Do you have a short example for me because I'm really new to javascript.
Thanks a lot in advance.

one way with pure javascript (without jquery) would be
<script type="text/javascript">
function handler()
{
var check = document.getElementById('check');
var query = document.getElementsByName('query')[0];
if(check.checked)
{
query.value = "filename:\"" + query.value + "\"";
}
else
{
query.value = query.value.replace(/^filename:"/, "").replace(/"$/, "");
}
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="text" name="query" />
<input type="checkbox" id="check" onclick="handler()" />box
</form>
it should more or less work, it would be safer if you give query input field an id and then reference it by id, not name

if you use jQuery, something like this should do:
<input type="checkbox" id="chkQuery">Pass queryfield</input>
<script>
$(document).ready(function{}
$("#chkQuery").click(function(){
if ($(this).is(':checked'))
$("input[name='query']").val("filename:queryfieldvalue");
else
$("input[name='query']").val("queryfieldvalue");
});
});
</script>
