Is there a way to add unbound label (for guidance purposes) to quick-create form? Only way I have found is to create a web resource like:
<html>
<body>
<label>some text</label>
</body>
</html>
And include it on a form. This seems to work for main forms; as for localization - it can be done like:
<html>
<body>
<label id="label"></label>
<script>// fetch and setup label content</script>
</body>
</html>
The issue is - there is no such option for quick create forms. Also it seems overly complex. Is there a simpler way how to include simple label/text for guidance purposes?
Easy way I could think of is using setFormNotification and it works in Quick Create form also. You can fetch & setup whatever you want for localization.
if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() === 1) {
Xrm.Page.ui.setFormNotification("Note: Please do so and so", "INFO", "someUniqueName");
}
Also, when you fill the attribute description in Entity customizations that text will show as a tooltip on mouseover on form control label (Thought of mentioning, ignore if it's not useful for you).
Another option is like using Multiline textbox or Textarea control as a placeholder to show guidance text. Make it read-only & don't display the label in the form.

I have an assigment, I don't understand it as i'm beginner.
Create a javascript script which will modify the DOM of a web-page.
The script must add a form with 4 elements: name, email, message(textarea) and submit button. Each element must contain a label with its name. For example, name field is input type, you must create still from javascript a label named "Name", same for the others except submit button. Also, each laber must have a colour added from javascript(red, blue, yellow). When you click submit button, it must have an alert: "Are you sure you want to send this message?".
Thank you in advance.
I need to use only Javascript for this and I can only find answers
that use HTML
Web applications use HTML to contain, render and display elements in the viewport (browser window).
Where do you intend to render the form and capture user input?
You can build the DOM structure using JavaScript alone, however, there will still be a HTML file, which will contain the HTML elements created using javascript.
Please provide clarity as to your desired goal and what type of application this is being used for.
My gut feeling, for simplicity, is that you will require to use HTML as your template file, and JavaScript for interactivity and manipulation of the HTML file.

This is a start, just to try to help you to understand the concepts.
I do, however, implore you to go and explore with confidence - you won't break anything, just give it a try!
I recommend you try taking a look at some of these articles, have a look at my (very rudimentary) code below, and feel free to ask any questions you have!

(function divContent() {
//Create a 'div' as a container for our form
var div = document.createElement('div');
// Perhaps you could style it later using this class??
div.className = 'row';
// I have used backticks to contain some more normal looking HTML for you to review, it's not complete though!!
div.innerHTML = `<form action="javascript:" onsubmit="alert('Your message here, or, run a function from your JavaScript file and do more stuff!!')">

Working on a project for my school building an MVC Sinatra application. I want to create a web app that can save and display back snippets/algos using ace editor.
I figured out how to (seemingly) capture form input through ace editor by hiding the input field and assigning the value from ace on change with the snippet below.
//CAPTURE/SET VALUE
var textarea = $('input[name="content"]');
editor.getSession().on("change", function () {
textarea.val(editor.getSession().getValue());
});
my form looks like this
<!--ACE EDITOR-->
<div id="editor"></div>
To open settings panel, inside editor - CTRL+Q (Windows) | CMD+Q (Mac)
<!--------------------------------------------------------->
<!--FORM-->
<form action="/ace" method="POST">
<!--normal-->
<input type="text" name="content" style="display: none;" />
<!--submit-->
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
I can capture the params fine but the problem is it doen't preserve the line breaks so entering...
def something
end
into ace editor and clicking submit gives me back
"def something end"
when I would love in theory to get something like
"def something\n\nend"
or something of the sort.. you get the drift
I need to be able to somehow use the editor to capture input, and on submit assign that to an object attribute so pseudo
snippet = Snippet.new(:content => params[:content])
then be able to call that back and display back on editor in the right format
snippet.content (preserves linebreaks)
Full code and images HERE if you rather visuals.
Any help would be appreciated and if there is anything I'm missing out please let me know.. hope I've supplied sufficient info and detailed properly.
input doesn't accept newlines, you need to use textarea instead.
I searched for jquery change the labels although there were a lot of answers they didn't pertain to my question. I want to change the label to something else that includes links. I can't seem to get it to work!! I've put the JS in the head position of the code but had no luck and even used JSFiddle please see below. What am I doing wrong?
JSFiddle
https://jsfiddle.net/14tx86j5/
HTML
<input name="input_147.1" value="I agree to Veryappt’s Terms of Service" id="choice_3_147_1" type="checkbox">
<label for="choice_3_147_1" id="label_3_147_1">I agree to Companies Terms of Service</label>
Jquery
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#label_3_147_1 label").html('You also agree to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your information. Learn More about why we ask for this information.');
});
</script>
You have wrong Selector to target label element. The selector you have used looks for label element inside element with id label_3_147_1. You need to use:
$("#label_3_147_1")
Works for me .
You need to include JS Libraries
$('#label_3_147_1').html('You also agree to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your information. Learn More about why we ask for this information.');
});
Fiddle
You can use only id of label something like that:
$("#label_3_147_1").html('Put Your html here');
I'm looking to change the title of an html page according to certain form elements, as well as some text found on that page. I found a good site describing how using Javascript can do almost what I need, located here: http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/13469.
The problem with the script found there is that the option to change the title is restricted to the textarea, or if I try to include another element, I get an error message. I authored web page/form templates, nothing complicated, where the intended users, who, shall we say, are not very computer literate(one of them has never used computers), fill out certain textareas and drop-down options and then save the pages in an ARCHIVE folder. To make it easier for them, I would like to give them the luxury of saving the pages without having to type the relevant date and # (each form is basically one of a series of 59), essentially standardizing the titles of the saved pages which should make it easier to categorize them using another script in the future. Can the code below(the one found in the above web site) be extended to include more than one html item, such as the select drop-down options found below, and maybe something found inside elements such as a or div?
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Change Title Dynamically:</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="" method=POST name="SampleForm">
<B>Enter Title for the window:</B>
<TEXTAREA NAME=WindowTitle ROWS=1 COLS=50></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Change Title" ONCLICK="javascript:UpdateTitle()">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function UpdateTitle()
{
document.title = document.SampleForm.WindowTitle.value;
}
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<SELECT>
<option>-----</option>
<OPTION>JAN</OPTION>
<OPTION>FEB</OPTION>
<OPTION>MAR</OPTION>
<OPTION>APR</OPTION>
<OPTION>MAY</OPTION>
<OPTION>JUN</OPTION>
<OPTION>JUL</OPTION>
<OPTION>AUG</OPTION>
<OPTION>SEP</OPTION>
<OPTION>OCT</OPTION>
<OPTION>NOV</OPTION>
<OPTION>DEC</OPTION>
</SELECT>
I would recommend jQuery to get the values of the fields you want to display in the title and set it. More info on jQuery can be found at http://jquery.com/
You can use a jQuery selectors to get the values of the fields and concatenate it accordingly. Something like this:
document.title = $('textarea').val() + ' - ' + $('select').val();
I have a web application which replaces content. This content has jquery ui check buttons. When I replace the content if a button already exists then don't add it again:
if(!$('label[for=checkWeekM]').hasClass('ui-button'))
$('.checkWeek').button();
If I push the button (its state is checked) and if I replace the content, the button starts locked until the same content is replaced again.
I use Backbone.js to replace the content
jsfiddle
How can I unlock the check button?
You are duplicating id attributes and that leads to bad HTML, bad HTML leads to frustration, frustration leads to anger, etc.
You have this in your template that you have hidden inside a <div>:
<input type="checkbox" class="checkWeek" id="checkWeekM" />
<label for="checkWeekM">L</label>
Then you insert that same HTML into your .content-central. Now you have two elements in your page with the same id attribute and two <label> elements pointing to them. When you add the jQuery-UI button wrapper, you end up with a slightly modified version of your <label> as the visible element for your checkbox; but, that <label> will be associated with two DOM elements through the for attribute and everything falls apart.
The solution is to stop using a <div> to store your templates. If you use a <script> instead, the browser won't parse the content as HTML and you won't have duplicate id attributes. Something like this:
<script id="template-central-home" type="text/x-template">
<div data-template-name="">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkWeek" id="checkWeekM" />
<label for="checkWeekM">L</label>
</div>
</script>
and then this to access the HTML:
content.view = new ContentView({
model: content,
template: $('#template-' + template_name).html()
});

There are two quick lessons here:
Having valid HTML is quite important.
Don't store templates in hidden <div>s, store them in <script>s with a type attribute other than text/html so that browser won't try to interpret them as HTML.
I took a detailed look at your fiddle after you mentioned this problem. The solution I suggested here was more like a quick fix.
If you want to follow the right thing to avoid long term problems and side effects you should consider what is mentioned here. This way your problem is solved and there are no other bugs.
