I recently designed a webpage, I am not a web developer, so I collected pieces and bits from various locations and kinda stitched them up.
Now, the page is fully designed and works in firefox, chrome and IE.
But it does not work on Safari.
Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<meta name="referrer" content="origin">
<script>
var counter = 0;
var limit = 50;
function addInput(divName, arrName){
if (counter == limit) {
alert("You have reached the limit of adding " + counter + " inputs");
}
else {
var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
newdiv.innerHTML = "<input type='text' name='" + arrName + "[]' required>";
document.getElementById(divName).appendChild(newdiv);
counter++;
}
}
</script>

Specifically, what does not work:
button click to 'add new sentences'
submit
Is there any error: No, nothing happens after touch-clicking the button
What I am looking out for:
If you web developer guys can figure out why it does not work on Safari, it would be great help.
How to change that part, so functionality remains the same, but it works on safari
As I am already asking this question, another side question would help. can I know how to fix the scrollbar at the bottom?
PS_1: If you don't feel like copy pasting this code, it is in working condition here
PS_2: WHen I say safari, I mean the one on the iPhone
Try moving the "Emotion" input text box outside of the "dynamicInput_1" div. So, instead of:
<form method="POST" action="http://formspree.io/sga267#uky.edu" align="center">
<div id = "dynamicInputHolder">
<div id="dynamicInput_1">
Emotion: <input type="text" value="" name="myInputs_1[]" id="emotion" disabled>
<div class="floating-box">Its John and Sally's wedding day! John and Sally are getting ready wedding ceremony will begin in an hour. Sally is little nervous.</div>
</div>
<input type="button" value="Add connecting sentences" onClick="addInput('dynamicInput_1', 'myInputs_1');">
</div>
Try:
<form method="POST" action="http://formspree.io/sga267#uky.edu" align="center">
<div id = "dynamicInputHolder">
Emotion: <input type="text" value="" name="myInputs_1[]" id="emotion" disabled>
<div id="dynamicInput_1">
<div class="floating-box">Its John and Sally's wedding day! John and Sally are getting ready wedding ceremony will begin in an hour. Sally is little nervous.</div>
</div>
<input type="button" value="Add connecting sentences" onClick="addInput('dynamicInput_1', 'myInputs_1');">
</div>
Also, take a look at this explanation of the use of id and class: div class vs id
You've got several divs using the same id. ids should be unique.
I'm not sure what you mean about fixing the scrollbar at the bottom, so I haven't addressed that question.
Do you have the javascript turned on in Safari?

I'm currently trying to inform a user about the form details they input.I'm not very clear how to go about this but what i thought of doing was to 1 html file to have the "form" and in the action ="htmlfile2.url" where the user has to be shown what his input was.
so currently i have 2 html files. The first one is a form to fill. the second html file is a modal pop up. In this pop up i want to show the user the details that they have entered. The issue is the name the user enter has to come to the second page on submitting ( after clicking the submit button the user gets directed to "htmlfile2" where the modal is shown. What i have so far is this.

What i want to do is after the first html (which contains the form) is submitted , it has to get directed to the second html where it basically say thank you to the person filling the form. Here i want to access the name the user added into the form ( if he entered "john") i want to say thank you John "Inside the SECOND HTML AFTER GETTING DIRECTED UPON submitting (sorry for caps that was just to highlight it)
If there is a better way to go about this please enlighten me. Thank you so much all.Also please note that i only know JavaScript . Dont know how to work with JQuery or PHP
For the sake of knowledge, You can get data in HTML File 2 using Javascript, use the following code in HTML File 2:
window.onload = function () {
var url = document.location.href;
var params = url.split('?')[1].split('&');
var data = {}, tmp;
for (var i = 0, l = params.length; i < l; i++) {
tmp = params[i].split('=');
data[tmp[0]] = tmp[1];
}
document.getElementById('username').innerHTML = data.name;
}
Nothing special we are just extracting data from the URL (HTTP Request) that was sent from the HTML file 1 form using some string functions.
But the proper way is to use some backend language.
A solution to your problem using php would be something like:
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['comment']) && !empty($_POST['rating'])): // you should also include other checks... ?>
<body>
<div class="popup">
<div class="popuptext" id="myPopup">
<p>
Thank you <span id="username"><?php echo $_POST['name'];?></span> ,<br>Your feedback has been recorded.<br>
<br>You commented that"<span id="usercomment"><?php echo $_POST['comment'];?></span>" <br><br>and rated our website "<span id="userrating"><?php echo $_POST['rating'];?></span>".
<br><br>Thank you
for taking your time to do so.<br><br>You will now be re-directed automatically
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
<?php endif; ?>
You could also use other programming languages, but I hope this can help you.
i have created a 2 pager website. It is basically a data gathering site.
On first page, i gather some information, in a form. I pass this to the second page using the "GET" method of the form submission.
On the second page, I parse the information and display it in readonly format. Alongside this information, there is another text field, which user is supposed to fill in.
the UI looks perfect, but the functionality is somehow broken.
Have a look at the code. I gotta paste more code here, as i do not know which part is responsible for functionality. It could be javascript functions, so including those. I have to include the css, as it is responsible for vertical splits, and bug might reside there and obviously html as well, as there might be few structural issues. Hence, this is the minimalistic code that can be there for the problem.

Problems:
After submitting form, first field, emotion is not submitted. I read on SO that if it is readonly, it should be submitted.
Entire second vertical div is not getting submitted. It is made up of arrays input_1, input_2 and input_3. I have no idea what is wrong, because the similarly "stuffed" prevInputs get submitted
FYI, I am submitting the information via formspree.io
PS: url to try->
soq.html?emotion=Surprise&myInputs_1%5B%5D=hello&myInputs_1%5B%5D=dear+reader&myInputs_2%5B%5D=thank+you+for&myInputs_2%5B%5D=reading+the+question&myInputs_3%5B%5D=and+trying+to+solve+the+probelm
I know there are many question about it, but they don't answer properly.
After readings and looking for, I tried this:
<input id="ext-element-47" class="x-input-file x-input-el" type="file" accept="" style="display:none">
hiding the file-input and then
this.element.down(".x-input-file").dom.click();
this works on Chrome's console but in my JS code it doesn't. It doesn't click.
Anyone knows why? and what can I do for make click?
Notes:
I need to make click because the file element is not visible and so when it clicks it does not show unless I do element.click ().
Here is an example what I'm doing:
document.getElementsByClassName('o-file-field-input')[0].click()
.o-file-field-input {
display: none;
}
.o-big-btn {
background-color: red;
height: 3em;
width: 3em;
}
<div class="x-container x-unsized o-cont-option" data-componentid="ext-container-5" id="ext-container-5">
<div class="x-inner x-align-center x-pack-center x-horizontal x-layout-box" id="ext-element-50">
<div class="x-button x-button-plain open-field-icon o-big-btn x-layout-box-item x-flexed x-stretched" id="ext-OUI_BaseButton-1" data-componentid="ext-OUI_BaseButton-1" tabindex="0" style="-webkit-box-flex: 1;">
<span class="x-button-icon x-shown smf smf-upload-file" id="ext-element-45"></span>
<div class="o-button-bg"></div>
<div class="x-unsized x-field-input x-has-height" id="ext-fileinput-1" data-componentid="ext-fileinput-1" style="height: 38px;">
<input id="ext-element-47" class="x-input-file x-input-el o-file-field-input" type="file" accept="">
<div class="x-field-mask x-hidden-display" id="ext-element-48"></div>
<div class="x-clear-icon" id="ext-element-49">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
See ya!
Here's what I usually do: Wrap the input inside a <label> element, and then style the element as a button, for example:
.pretty-file {
border: 1px solid #000;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px 15px;
}
.pretty-file input[type="file"] {
display: none;
}
<label class="pretty-file">
Choose File
<input type="file" />
</label>
This finally works well:
var obElement = document.getElementsByClassName('input-file')[0];
//the title property overrides tooltip's description
obElement.setAttribute('title', ' ');
.flex-style{
display: flex;
}
.input-file{
opacity: 0;
margin-left: -40px;
width: 40px;
height: 45px;
}
.icon{
width: 40px;
height: 45px;
background-color: blueviolet;
}
<div class='flex-style'>
<div class='icon'></div>
<input class='input-file' type='file'>
</div>
Is there a quick way to create an input text element with an icon on the right to clear the input element itself (like the google search box)?
I looked around but I only found how to put an icon as background of the input element. Is there a jQuery plugin or something else?
I want the icon inside the input text element, something like:
--------------------------------------------------
| X|
--------------------------------------------------
Add a type="search" to your input
The support is pretty decent but will not work in IE<10
<input type="search">
Older browsers
If you need IE9 support here are some workarounds
Using a standard <input type="text"> and some HTML elements:
/**
* Clearable text inputs
*/
$(".clearable").each(function() {
const $inp = $(this).find("input:text"),
$cle = $(this).find(".clearable__clear");
$inp.on("input", function(){
$cle.toggle(!!this.value);
});
$cle.on("touchstart click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$inp.val("").trigger("input");
});
});
/* Clearable text inputs */
.clearable{
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable input[type=text]{
padding-right: 24px;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.clearable__clear{
display: none;
position: absolute;
right:0; top:0;
padding: 0 8px;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 1.2em;
user-select: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable input::-ms-clear { /* Remove IE default X */
display: none;
}
<span class="clearable">
<input type="text" name="" value="" placeholder="">
<i class="clearable__clear">×</i>
</span>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Using only a <input class="clearable" type="text"> (No additional elements)
set a class="clearable" and play with it's background image:
/**
* Clearable text inputs
*/
function tog(v){return v ? "addClass" : "removeClass";}
$(document).on("input", ".clearable", function(){
$(this)[tog(this.value)]("x");
}).on("mousemove", ".x", function( e ){
$(this)[tog(this.offsetWidth-18 < e.clientX-this.getBoundingClientRect().left)]("onX");
}).on("touchstart click", ".onX", function( ev ){
ev.preventDefault();
$(this).removeClass("x onX").val("").change();
});
// $('.clearable').trigger("input");
// Uncomment the line above if you pre-fill values from LS or server
/*
Clearable text inputs
*/
.clearable{
background: #fff url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/mJotv.gif) no-repeat right -10px center;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 3px 18px 3px 4px; /* Use the same right padding (18) in jQ! */
border-radius: 3px;
transition: background 0.4s;
}
.clearable.x { background-position: right 5px center; } /* (jQ) Show icon */
.clearable.onX{ cursor: pointer; } /* (jQ) hover cursor style */
.clearable::-ms-clear {display: none; width:0; height:0;} /* Remove IE default X */
<input class="clearable" type="text" name="" value="" placeholder="" />
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
The trick is to set some right padding (I used 18px) to the input and push the background-image right, out of sight (I used right -10px center).
That 18px padding will prevent the text hide underneath the icon (while visible).
jQuery will add the class "x" (if input has value) showing the clear icon.
Now all we need is to target with jQ the inputs with class x and detect on mousemove if the mouse is inside that 18px "x" area; if inside, add the class onX.
Clicking the onX class removes all classes, resets the input value and hides the icon.

Could I suggest, if you're okay with this being limited to html 5 compliant browsers, simply using:
<input type="search" />
JS Fiddle demo
Admittedly, in Chromium (Ubuntu 11.04), this does require there to be text inside the input element before the clear-text image/functionality will appear.
Reference:
Dive Into HTML 5: A form of Madness.
input type=search - search field (NEW) HTML5.
According to MDN, <input type="search" /> is currently supported in all modern browsers:
<input type="search" value="Clear this." />
However, if you want different behavior that is consistent across browsers here are some light-weight alternatives that only require JavaScript:
Option 1 - Always display the 'x': (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input>[data-clear-input]'), function(el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.target.previousElementSibling.value = '';
});
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input > [data-clear-input] {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Always display the 'x':</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
Option 2 - Only display the 'x' when hovering over the field: (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input>[data-clear-input]'), function(el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.target.previousElementSibling.value = '';
});
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input:hover > [data-clear-input] {
display: block;
}
.clearable-input > [data-clear-input] {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Only display the 'x' when hovering over the field:</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
Option 3 - Only display the 'x' if the input element has a value: (example here)
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.clearable-input'), function(el) {
var input = el.querySelector('input');
conditionallyHideClearIcon();
input.addEventListener('input', conditionallyHideClearIcon);
el.querySelector('[data-clear-input]').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
input.value = '';
conditionallyHideClearIcon();
});
function conditionallyHideClearIcon(e) {
var target = (e && e.target) || input;
target.nextElementSibling.style.display = target.value ? 'block' : 'none';
}
});
.clearable-input {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.clearable-input > input {
padding-right: 1.4em;
}
.clearable-input >[data-clear-input] {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 1.4em;
padding: 0 0.2em;
line-height: 1em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.clearable-input > input::-ms-clear {
display: none;
}
<p>Only display the 'x' if the `input` element has a value:</p>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
<div class="clearable-input">
<input type="text" value="Clear this." />
<span data-clear-input>×</span>
</div>
You could use a reset button styled with an image...
<form action="" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search" required="required" placeholder="type here" />
<input type="reset" value="" alt="clear" />
</form>
<style>
input[type="text"]
{
height: 38px;
font-size: 15pt;
}
input[type="text"]:invalid + input[type="reset"]{
display: none;
}
input[type="reset"]
{
background-image: url( http://png-5.findicons.com/files/icons/1150/tango/32/edit_clear.png );
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 38px;
width: 38px;
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
top: -9px;
left: -44px;
}
</style>

I've created a clearable textbox in just CSS. It requires no javascript code to make it work
below is the demo link
http://codepen.io/shidhincr/pen/ICLBD
Since none of the solutions flying around really met our requirements, we came up with a simple jQuery plugin called jQuery-ClearSearch -
using it is as easy as:
<input class="clearable" type="text" placeholder="search">
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.clearable').clearSearch();
</script>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wldaunfr/FERw3/
If you want it like Google, then you should know that the "X" isn't actually inside the <input> -- they're next to each other with the outer container styled to appear like the text box.
HTML:
<form>
<span class="x-input">
<input type="text" class="x-input-text" />
<input type="reset" />
</span>
</form>
CSS:
.x-input {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.x-input input.x-input-text {
border: 0;
outline: 0;
}
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/VTvNX/
Change the text box type as 'search' in the design mode or
<input type="search">
EDIT: I found this link. Hope it helps. http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2011/02/clearable-textbox-jquery.html
You have mentioned you want it on the right of the input text. So, the best way would be to create an image next to the input box. If you are looking something inside the box, you can use background image but you may not be able to write a script to clear the box.
So, insert and image and write a JavaScript code to clear the textbox.
Use simple absolute positioning - it's not that hard.
jQuery:
$('span').click(function(){
$('input', $(this).parent()).val('');
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
Vanilla JS:
var spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span");
function clickListener(e) {
e.target.parentElement.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].value = "";
}
for (let i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
spans[i].addEventListener("click", clickListener);
}
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; width:min-content;">
<input>
<span style="position:absolute;right:10px">x</span>
</div>
jQuery Mobile now has this built in:
<input type="text" name="clear" id="clear-demo" value="" data-clear-btn="true">

You can do with this commands (without Bootstrap).
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.search-field')).forEach(field => {
field.querySelector('span').addEventListener('click', e => {
field.querySelector('input').value = '';
});
});
:root {
--theme-color: teal;
}
.wrapper {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div {
position: relative;
}
input {
background:none;
outline:none;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
margin: 8px 0;
padding: 13px 15px;
padding-right: 42.5px;
border: 1px solid var(--theme-color);
border-radius: 5px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
span {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
margin: 8px 0;
padding: 13px 15px;
color: var(--theme-color);
font-weight: bold;
cursor: pointer;
}
span:after {
content: '\2716';
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="search-field">

<span></span>

Here's a jQuery plugin (and a demo at the end).
http://jsfiddle.net/e4qhW/3/
I did it mostly to illustrate an example (and a personal challenge). Although upvotes are welcome, the other answers are well handed out on time and deserve their due recognition.
Still, in my opinion, it is over-engineered bloat (unless it makes part of a UI library).
I have written a simple component using jQuery and bootstrap.
Give it a try: https://github.com/mahpour/bootstrap-input-clear-button
Using a jquery plugin I have adapted it to my needs adding customized options and creating a new plugin. You can find it here:
https://github.com/david-dlc-cerezo/jquery-clearField
An example of a simple usage:
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js'></script>
<script src='http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js'></script>
<script src='src/jquery.clearField.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.clearField.css">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input name="test1" id="test1" clas="test" type='text'></td>
<td>Empty</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="test2" id="test2" clas="test" type='text' value='abc'></td>
<td>Not empty</td>
</tr>
</table>
<script>
$('.test').clearField();
</script>
Obtaining something like this:
No need to include CSS or image files. No need to include that whole heavy-artillery jQuery UI library. I wrote a lightweight jQuery plugin that does the magic for you. All you need is jQuery and the plugin. =)
Fiddle here: jQuery InputSearch demo.
I've been searching a lot for a good mootools script for a simple newsletter signup form with a one-line input field + send button.
Some things I'm trying to consider:
form submission without reloading
I don't want to have to use jQuery or
Protoype or any other library outside
of Mootools (I already have Mootools
for some other parts of the site, and
adding more libraries to that would
create too much clutter I think?)
Trying to find one with nice but
simple effects (like the spinning
"loading" image when it's
sending...but only found this for
jQuery/Prototype so far)
I'm using clean urls: .htaccess to
send the URI to index.php, which then
parses the URL and figures out what
php files to include to create each
page. In other words, I'm not sure
if there's a way to do the
validation/insert entries into mysql
without messing with the URL?
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
You can use the Ajax.Form method, found here - This is an ajax post/post-back method for storing your data.
Here's the skinny on the code:
$('myForm').addEvent('submit', function(e) {
/**
* Prevent the submit event
*/
new Event(e).stop();
/**
* This empties the log and shows the spinning indicator
*/
var log = $('log_res').empty().addClass('ajax-loading');
/**
* send takes care of encoding and returns the Ajax instance.
* onComplete removes the spinner from the log.
*/
this.send({
update: log,
onComplete: function() {
log.removeClass('ajax-loading');
}
});
});
HTML/CSS to use with this reference code:
<h3>Send a Form with Ajax</h3>
<p>See ajax.form.phps</p>
<form id="myForm" action="demos/Ajax.Form/ajax.form.php" method="get">

Hope this helps.
to fix the north creative example so it works with 1.2+:
http://jsfiddle.net/dimitar/gEdqa/
the code to intercept the form submission is as simple as can be:
document.id("myForm").addEvent("submit", function(e) {
e.stop();
new Request({
url: this.get("action"),
method: "post",
data: this,
onRequest: function() {
document.id("result").set("html", "sending...");
// or do whatever spinner you want.
},
// update: $("results"),
// evalScripts: true, // etc etc options to request class
onComplete: function() {
document.id("result").set("html", this.response.text);
}
}).send();
});
also, storing a request instance in the element.send prototype shortcut still works but i will leave you to read up on the details.
