Hello. I would like to be able to resize my inputs based off of the value currently in them. I want to make a page that asks for values in sentence form instead of just a list of inputs. For example, I want to make it like this:
.nowrap {
display:inline;
}
<div>
<p>Please fill out the following form to the best of your ability.</p>
<div>
My name is <input type="text" id="name" value="Jane Doe">, and I am <input type="number" id="age" value="18">. I found this tool using <form class="nowrap"><select id="foundUsing"><option value="a"> Google</option><option value="b"> The Facebook ad</option><option value="c"> The Newspaper Ad</option><option value="d"> Other</option></select></form>
</div>
</div>
But the issue is, the text looks weird with long input boxes. How might I make the box automatically resize itself whenever the input gets too large, and shrink itself when it is too small? I have JQuery, if it helps, but I'm not too familiar with it. Thanks
You can set an initial width and in the onchange you can use something like this add or subtract
var width = document.getElementById("input-number-box").value;
document.getElementById("myInput").style.width = width + '%';
We can add a listener for every input tag and modifying width of that element based on entered value.
var inputTags = document.querySelectorAll('input'); // Get all the input element
for(input of inputTags){
input.addEventListener('input', resizeInput);
resizeInput.call(input); //To call function immediately
function resizeInput() {
if(this.type=='number'){
//adding extra 3ch for number arrows
this.style.width = this.value.length + 3 + "ch";
}
//we can handle more cases like files
else{
this.style.width = this.value.length + "ch";
}
}
}
.nowrap {
display:inline;
}
select{
width:100px;
}
<div>

I created a hidden div where I add span and take the measure calculated by the browser, then I use that value for the input boxes with a padding that depends on the type of input
function resizeElem (elemId, paddingRight) {
if (!paddingRight) {
paddingRight = 0;
}
let calcDiv = document.getElementById("sizeCalcDiv");
let elem = document.getElementById(elemId);
let elemValue = elem.value;
if (elem.nodeName==="SELECT") {
elemValue = elem.options[elem.selectedIndex].innerHTML;
}
if (!elemValue) {
elemValue="";
}
let spanCalc = document.getElementById(elemId+"_sizeCalc");
if (!spanCalc) {
spanCalc = document.createElement("SPAN");
spanCalc.id=elemId+"_sizeCalc";
calcDiv.appendChild(spanCalc);
}
spanCalc.innerHTML=elemValue;
elem.style.width=spanCalc.offsetWidth+paddingRight+"px";
}
resizeElem("name",5);
resizeElem("age",25);
resizeElem("foundUsing",20);
.nowrap {
display:inline;
}
.hidden {
height:0;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div>
<p>Please fill out the following form to the best of your ability.</p>
<div>
My name is <input type="text" id="name" value="Jane Doe" onkeydown="resizeElem('name',5);">, and I am <input type="number" id="age" value="183" onkeyup="resizeElem('age',25);">. I found this tool using <form class="nowrap"><select id="foundUsing" onclick="resizeElem('foundUsing',20);"><option value="a"> Google</option><option value="b"> The Facebook ad</option><option value="c"> The Newspaper Ad</option><option value="d"> Other</option></select></form>
</div>
<div id="sizeCalcDiv" class="hidden">

Using a solution from a relevant question, how can I use the following script to only work on a specific input by limiting the input range between 0 and 0.20? For example, I have two number inputs with the ID's "A" and "B", and I only want the following script to work on input id="A".
$('input').on('input', function () {
var value = this.value;
if (value !== '') {
value = parseFloat(value);
if (value < 0)
this.value = 0;
else if (value > 0.20)
this.value = 0.20;
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="number" id="a" value="0" />
<input type="number" id="b" value="0" />
Use the ID of the specific element.
$('#a').on('input', function () {
Demo:
$('#a').on('input', function() {
var value = this.value;
if (value !== '') {
value = parseFloat(value);
if (value < 0)
this.value = 0;
else if (value > 0.20)
this.value = 0.20;
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="number" id="a" value="0" />
<input type="number" id="b" value="0" />
Alternatively, if you only need to support HTML5-compatible browsers you could ditch the JavaScript and simply use min and max attributes on the element itself. You can also use step to control how much the button increases the value by, which makes sense in a scenario where the input range is so small:
<input type="number" id="a" value="0" min="0" max="0.2" step="0.1" />
<input type="number" id="b" value="0" />
Change the selector from selecting all inputs to just the one you want e.g. $('#a').on('input', ...
I have six text boxes and I want to count the number of filled boxes
<input type="text" #tb1 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb2)" />
<input type="text" #tb2 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb2)" />
<input type="text" #tb3 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb3)" />
<input type="text" #tb4 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb4)" />
<input type="text" #tb5 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb5)" />
<input type="text" #tb6 placeholder="Weight" class="form-control"(ngModelChange)="counterfunc(tb6)" />
{{counter}}
counter: number = 0;
counterfunc(tb){
// need help here
if (tb.value != '') {
this.counter++;
}
}
I found this plunker plunkr but this is for checkboxes. how can I count the number of the filled text boxes? and a number of counts should decrease one if user empty the box. Thank you
I don't see the point of declaring seleveral variables for a component (well, input) that behaves exactly the same in any case. You should declare a list of inputs, not a variable for every input.
Use the children decorator for that
<ng-container *ngFor="let i of [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]">
<input type="text" #textboxes placeholder="Weight" class="form-control" (input)="input()"/>
</ng-container>
<p>{{filledCount}}</p>
In your TS
filledCount: number = 0;
#ViewChildren('textboxes') textboxes: QueryList<ElementRef>;
input() { this.filledCount = this.textboxes.filter(t => t.nativeElement.value).length; }
Here is a working stackblitz.
try this and just take this as a key
counter: number = 0;
counterfunc(tb){
if (tb.value != '' && tb.value.length == 1) {
this.counter++;
}
if(tb.value == '')
{
this.counter--;
}
}
Create a form and add validation to the form. On every change count the valid or invalid fields
When using the newer browsers that support HTML5 (FireFox 4 for example);
and a form field has the attribute required='required';
and the form field is empty/blank;
and the submit button is clicked;
the browsers detects that the "required" field is empty and does not submit the form; instead browser shows a hint asking the user to type text into the field.
Now, instead of a single text field, I have a group of checkboxes, out of which at least one should be checked/selected by the user.
How can I use the HTML5 required attribute on this group of checkboxes?
(Since only one of the checkboxes needs to be checked, I can't put the required attribute on each and every checkbox)
ps. I am using simple_form, if that matters.
UPDATE
Could the HTML 5 multiple attribute be helpful here? Has anyone use it before for doing something similar to my question?
UPDATE
It appears that this feature is not supported by the HTML5 spec: ISSUE-111: What does input.#required mean for #type = checkbox?
(Issue status: Issue has been marked closed without prejudice.)
And here is the explanation.
UPDATE 2
It's an old question, but wanted to clarify that the original intent of the question was to be able to do the above without using Javascript - i.e. using a HTML5 way of doing it. In retrospect, I should've made the "without Javascript" more obvious.
Unfortunately HTML5 does not provide an out-of-the-box way to do that.
However, using jQuery, you can easily control if a checkbox group has at least one checked element.
Consider the following DOM snippet:
<div class="checkbox-group required">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name[]">
</div>
You can use this expression:
$('div.checkbox-group.required :checkbox:checked').length > 0
which returns true if at least one element is checked.
Based on that, you can implement your validation check.
Its a simple trick. This is jQuery code that can exploit the html5 validation by changing the required properties if any one is checked. Following is your html code (make sure that you add required for all the elements in the group.)
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-1" value="option1" required/> Option 1
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-2" value="option2" required/> Option 2
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-3" value="option3" required/> Option 3
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-4" value="option4" required/> Option 4
<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" id="option-5" value="option5" required/> Option 5
Following is jQuery script, which disables further validation check if any one is selected. Select using name element.
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[name='option[]']");
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[id^='option-']"); // name is not always helpful ;)
$cbx_group.prop('required', true);
if($cbx_group.is(":checked")){
$cbx_group.prop('required', false);
}
Small gotcha here: Since you are using html5 validation, make sure you execute this before the it gets validated i.e. before form submit.
// but this might not work as expected
$('form').submit(function(){
// code goes here
});
// So, better USE THIS INSTEAD:
$('button[type="submit"]').on('click', function() {
// skipping validation part mentioned above
});
HTML5 does not directly support requiring only one/at least one checkbox be checked in a checkbox group. Here is my solution using Javascript:
HTML
<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='1' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> One
<input class='acb' type='checkbox' name='acheckbox[]' value='2' onclick='deRequire("acb")' required> Two
JAVASCRIPT
function deRequireCb(elClass) {
el = document.getElementsByClassName(elClass);
var atLeastOneChecked = false; //at least one cb is checked
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
if (el[i].checked === true) {
atLeastOneChecked = true;
}
}
if (atLeastOneChecked === true) {
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].required = false;
}
} else {
for (i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
el[i].required = true;
}
}
}
The javascript will ensure at least one checkbox is checked, then de-require the entire checkbox group. If the one checkbox that is checked becomes un-checked, then it will require all checkboxes, again!
I guess there's no standard HTML5 way to do this, but if you don't mind using a jQuery library, I've been able to achieve a "checkbox group" validation using webshims' "group-required" validation feature:
The docs for group-required say:
If a checkbox has the class 'group-required' at least one of the
checkboxes with the same name inside the form/document has to be
checked.
And here's an example of how you would use it:
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" class="group-required" id="checkbox-group-id" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
<input name="checkbox-group" type="checkbox" />
I mostly use webshims to polyfill HTML5 features, but it also has some great optional extensions like this one.
It even allows you to write your own custom validity rules. For example, I needed to create a checkbox group that wasn't based on the input's name, so I wrote my own validity rule for that...
we can do this easily with html5 also, just need to add some jquery code
Demo
HTML
<form>
<div class="form-group options">
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="A" required /> A
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="B" required /> B
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" value="C" required /> C
<input type="submit">
</div>
</form>
Jquery
$(function(){
var requiredCheckboxes = $('.options :checkbox[required]');
requiredCheckboxes.change(function(){
if(requiredCheckboxes.is(':checked')) {
requiredCheckboxes.removeAttr('required');
} else {
requiredCheckboxes.attr('required', 'required');
}
});
});
Inspired by the answers from #thegauraw and #Brian Woodward, here's a bit I pulled together for JQuery users, including a custom validation error message:
$cbx_group = $("input:checkbox[name^='group']");
$cbx_group.on("click", function () {
if ($cbx_group.is(":checked")) {
// checkboxes become unrequired as long as one is checked
$cbx_group.prop("required", false).each(function () {
this.setCustomValidity("");
});
} else {
// require checkboxes and set custom validation error message
$cbx_group.prop("required", true).each(function () {
this.setCustomValidity("Please select at least one checkbox.");
});
}
});
Note that my form has some checkboxes checked by default.
Maybe some of you JavaScript/JQuery wizards could tighten that up even more?
I added an invisible radio to a group of checkboxes.
When at least one option is checked, the radio is also set to check.
When all options are canceled, the radio is also set to cancel.
Therefore, the form uses the radio prompt "Please check at least one option"
You can't use display: none because radio can't be focused.
I make the radio size equal to the entire checkboxes size, so it's more obvious when prompted.

You don't need jQuery for this. Here's a vanilla JS proof of concept using an event listener on a parent container (checkbox-group-required) of the checkboxes, the checkbox element's .checked property and Array#some.
const validate = el => {
const checkboxes = el.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
return [...checkboxes].some(e => e.checked);
};
const formEl = document.querySelector("form");
const statusEl = formEl.querySelector(".status-message");
const checkboxGroupEl = formEl.querySelector(".checkbox-group-required");
checkboxGroupEl.addEventListener("click", e => {
statusEl.textContent = validate(checkboxGroupEl) ? "valid" : "invalid";
});
formEl.addEventListener("submit", e => {
e.preventDefault();
if (validate(checkboxGroupEl)) {
statusEl.textContent = "Form submitted!";
// Send data from e.target to your backend
}
else {
statusEl.textContent = "Error: select at least one checkbox";
}
});
<form>
<div class="checkbox-group-required">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">
</div>
<input type="submit" />
<div class="status-message"></div>
</form>
If you have multiple groups to validate, add a loop over each group, optionally adding error messages or CSS to indicate which group fails validation:
const validate = el => {
const checkboxes = el.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');
return [...checkboxes].some(e => e.checked);
};
const allValid = els => [...els].every(validate);
const formEl = document.querySelector("form");
const statusEl = formEl.querySelector(".status-message");
const checkboxGroupEls = formEl.querySelectorAll(".checkbox-group-required");
checkboxGroupEls.forEach(el =>
el.addEventListener("click", e => {
statusEl.textContent = allValid(checkboxGroupEls) ? "valid" : "invalid";
})
);
formEl.addEventListener("submit", e => {
e.preventDefault();
if (allValid(checkboxGroupEls)) {
statusEl.textContent = "Form submitted!";
}
else {
statusEl.textContent = "Error: select at least one checkbox from each group";
}
});
<form>
<div class="checkbox-group-required">

I realize there are a ton of solutions here, but I found none of them hit every requirement I had:
No custom coding required
Code works on page load
No custom classes required (checkboxes or their parent)
I needed several checkbox lists to share the same name for submitting Github issues via their API, and was using the name label[] to assign labels across many form fields (two checkbox lists and a few selects and textboxes) - granted I could have achieved this without them sharing the same name, but I decided to try it, and it worked.
The only requirement for this one is jQuery, which could easily be eliminated if you wanted to rewrite it in vanilla JS. You can combine this with #ewall's great solution to add custom validation error messages.
/* required checkboxes */
jQuery(function ($) {
var $requiredCheckboxes = $("input[type='checkbox'][required]");
/* init all checkbox lists */
$requiredCheckboxes.each(function (i, el) {
//this could easily be changed to suit different parent containers
var $checkboxList = $(this).closest("div, span, p, ul, td");
if (!$checkboxList.hasClass("requiredCheckboxList"))
$checkboxList.addClass("requiredCheckboxList");
});
var $requiredCheckboxLists = $(".requiredCheckboxList");
$requiredCheckboxLists.each(function (i, el) {
var $checkboxList = $(this);
$checkboxList.on("change", "input[type='checkbox']", function (e) {
updateCheckboxesRequired($(this).parents(".requiredCheckboxList"));
});
updateCheckboxesRequired($checkboxList);
});
function updateCheckboxesRequired($checkboxList) {
var $chk = $checkboxList.find("input[type='checkbox']").eq(0),
cblName = $chk.attr("name"),
cblNameAttr = "[name='" + cblName + "']",
$checkboxes = $checkboxList.find("input[type='checkbox']" + cblNameAttr);
if ($checkboxList.find(cblNameAttr + ":checked").length > 0) {
$checkboxes.prop("required", false);
} else {
$checkboxes.prop("required", true);
}
}
});

Really simple way to verify if at least one checkbox is checked:
function isAtLeastOneChecked(name) {
let checkboxes = Array.from(document.getElementsByName(name));
return checkboxes.some(e => e.checked);
}
Then you can implement whatever logic you want to display an error.
Here is another simple trick using Jquery!!
HTML
<form id="hobbieform">
<div>
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Coding
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Gaming
<input type="checkbox" name="hobbies[]">Driving
</div>
</form>
JQuery
$('#hobbieform').on("submit", function (e) {
var arr = $(this).serialize().toString();
if(arr.indexOf("hobbies") < 0){
e.preventDefault();
alert("You must select at least one hobbie");
}
});
That's all.. this works because if none of the checkbox is selected, nothing as regards the checkbox group(including its name) is posted to the server
Pure JS solution:
const group = document.querySelectorAll('[name="myCheckboxGroup"]');
function requireLeastOneChecked() {
var atLeastOneChecked = false;
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
if (group[i].checked)
atLeastOneChecked = true;
if (atLeastOneChecked)
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
group[i].required = false;
else
for (i = 0; i < group.length; i++)
group[i].required = true;
}
requireLeastOneChecked(); // onload
group.forEach(function ($el) {
$el.addEventListener('click', function () { requireLeastOneChecked(); })
});
Hi just use a text box additional to group of check box.When clicking on any check box put values in to that text box.Make that that text box required and readonly.
A general Solution without change the submit event or knowing the name of the checkboxes
Build a Function, which marks the Checkbox as HTML5-Invalid
Extend Change-Event and check validity on the start
jQuery.fn.getSiblingsCheckboxes = function () {
let $this = $(this);
let $parent = $this.closest('form, .your-checkbox-listwrapper');
return $parent.find('input[type="checkbox"][name="' + $this.attr('name')+'"]').filter('*[required], *[data-required]');
}
jQuery.fn.checkRequiredInputs = function() {
return this.each(function() {
let $this = $(this);
let $parent = $this.closest('form, .your-checkbox-list-wrapper');
let $allInputs = $this.getSiblingsCheckboxes();
if ($allInputs.filter(':checked').length > 0) {
$allInputs.each(function() {
// this.setCustomValidity(''); // not needed
$(this).removeAttr('required');
$(this).closest('li').css('color', 'green'); // for debugging only
});
} else {
$allInputs.each(function() {
// this.reportValidity(); // not needed
$(this).attr('required', 'required');
$(this).closest('li').css('color', 'red'); // for debugging only
});
}
return true;
});
};
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[type="checkbox"][required="required"], input[type="checkbox"][required]').not('*[data-required]').not('*[disabled]').each(function() {
let $input = $(this);
let $allInputs = $input.getSiblingsCheckboxes();
$input.attr('data-required', 'required');
$input.removeAttr('required');
$input.on('change', function(event) {
$input.checkRequiredInputs();
});
});
$('input[type="checkbox"][data-required="required"]').checkRequiredInputs();

When the value is set to 0 (which is what it is by default when page loads $scope.lbs_needed = 0;, I want to show a placeholder="0" whenever the value of the number or range input is set to 0 that way the 0 value isn't in front of the user's input without them having to manually delete default 0.
Here's my html:
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="number">Pounds of nitrogen desired per acre:</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control number-input" id="number" ng-model="lbs_needed" ng-change="calculate2()" value="{[{lbs_needed}]}" min="0" max="500" value="{[{lbs_needed}]}" placeholder="0">
<input type="range" min="0" max="500" class="form-control" id="number" ng-model="lbs_needed" ng-change="calculate2()" value="{[{lbs_needed}]}" placeholder="0">
</div>
</form>
So, if I understand correctly you want the textbox to have a default value but also want it to be changeable instantly without users having to backspace over the default?
Try this:
var input = document.getElementById('change-default');
input.onfocus = function () {
if (input.value == 0) {
input.value = '';
}
}
input.onblur = function () {
if (input.value == '') {
input.value = '0';
}
}
<input type="number" placeholder="0" value="0" id="change-default">
What I'm doing is listening for an focus event, you could also use addEventListener instead of onfocus.
If the value of the input box is 0 you remove its value ready for the user to type theirs in.
