I'm rendering a dynamic input and checkbox from an array object which is fine, however I'm not quite sure how to hide the input when I click on the checkbox relative to the input.
function dynamicStuff () {
var objs = ['Id', 'Name', 'Age'];
for (var i = 0; i < objs.length; i++) {
objs[i];
var cElement = document.createElement("input");
cElement.type = "checkbox";
cElement.name = objs[i];
cElement.id = objs[i];
var cElementInput = document.createElement("input");
cElementInput.type = "text";
cElementInput.name = objs[i];
cElementInput.id = objs[i];
cElementInput.placeholder = objs[i]
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(cElement);
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(cElementInput);
}
}
Live example.
Saving on localStroage:
function chkboxCookie() {
var indexOfItem = checkAllFields.indexOf(this.id);
if (indexOfItem >= 0) {
checkAllFields.splice(indexOfItem, 1);
} else {
checkAllFields.push(this.id);
}
/* it saves paramater name in the localStorage*/
localStorage.setItem("checkedUsers", JSON.stringify(checkAllFields));
}
How do I hide the input that I ticked and potentially save that input name/Id in the localStorage?
You'd add an event handler that does something to the input when the checkbox is checked
function dynamicStuff() {
var objs = ['Id', 'Name', 'Age'];
for (var j = 0; j < objs.length; j++) {
(function(i) {
objs[i];
var cElementInput = document.createElement("input");
cElementInput.type = "text";
cElementInput.name = objs[i];
cElementInput.id = objs[i];
cElementInput.placeholder = objs[i];
var cElement = document.createElement("input");
cElement.type = "checkbox";
cElement.name = objs[i];
cElement.id = objs[i];
cElement.addEventListener('change', function() {
cElementInput.style.display = this.checked ? 'none' : 'inline';
localStorage.setItem(objs[i], this.value);
});
var br = document.createElement('br');
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(cElement);
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(cElementInput);
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(br);
document.getElementById('chkBox').appendChild(br.cloneNode());
})(j);
}
}
dynamicStuff()
<div id="chkBox"></div>
Working fiddle.
The id attribute should be unique in the same page so try to change the id of the input for example :
cElementInput.id = objs[i]+'_input';
And attach change event to the checkbox's where you'll show/hide related inputs:
cElement.addEventListener("change", toggleInput, false);
Then define your toggleInput() function :
function toggleInput(){
var input_id = this.id+'_input';
document.getElementById(input_id).style.display = this.checked ? 'inline' : 'none';
localStorage.setItem(this.id, this.value);
}
To check/uncheck the checkboxe's based on localStorage, get the data first :
var localStorageData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("checkedUsers"));
var data = localStorageData==null?[]:localStorageData;
Then check for the the values presented in the array and check/uncheck checkboxe's :
if(data.indexOf(objs[i]) >= 0)
cElement.checked = true;
else
cElement.checked = false;
Hope this helps.

I have a simple table with cells. When the user clicks on a cell, a textbox is added inside the cell where they can edit the content. However, when i double click a cell to edit it's content, the attributes of the input field show up. It does not allow me to edit and add another value. Here is the script I'm using.
window.onload = function() {
var cells = document.getElementsByTagName("td");
var theads = document.getElementsByTagName("th");
for (let i = 0; i < cells.length; i++) {
cells[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
highlightCell(i);
});
}
function highlightCell(x) {
var txtBox = document.createElement("input");
txtBox.id = "myTxt";
txtBox.type = "text";
for (var i = 0; i<9; i++) {
if (i == x) {
txtBox.value = cells[i].innerHTML;
cells[i].innerHTML = "";
cells[i].appendChild(txtBox);
cells[i].style.backgroundColor = "lightBlue";
}
}
}
}
Found the solution, just needed to use select(). This highlights the selected field, adds a input box which the user can update, then save the value in the cell when enter is pressed.
function highlightCell(x) {
//add input field inside cell
var txtBox = document.createElement("input");
txtBox.id = x;
txtBox.type = "text";
for (var i = 0; i<9; i++) {
if (i == x) {
txtBox.value = cells[i].innerHTML;
cells[i].innerHTML = "";
cells[i].appendChild(txtBox);
txtBox.select();
cells[i].style.backgroundColor = "lightBlue";
cells[x].onkeypress = function(){
var event = window.event;
var btnPress = event.keyCode;
if(btnPress == 13)
{
var elem = document.getElementById(x);
cells[x].innerHTML = elem.value;
elem.parentNode.removeChild(elem);
}
}
} else {
cells[i].style.backgroundColor = "white";
}
}
}
I am creating a mozilla add on for a web page. Using the attached Javascript code I am able to create checkbox. The checkbox should replace with other checkbox depending on the selected value in dropdown. Onclick on dropdown I am calling fun_sub_cat function which is creating checkbox and also replacing but it replace only once. For eg: If there are 2 option in dropdown 1 and 2, Selecting option 1 checkbox values should 1,2,3 and for option 2 checkbox values should be a,b,c.
On Click function it creates checkbox and changing the value for the first time replaces the checkbox value as well however when I click 3rd time on dropdown or change the value, it does not work. It attains the 2nd time changed checkbox values.
var k = 0;
function fun_cat_sub() {
console.log("Value Changed");
var Myarry = "";
if(document.getElementById('sub_cat').value == 'Password Reset'){
Myarry = check_list1;
if(k == 0){
console.log("creating checkbox for the first time");
k = k+1;
for (var i = 0; i < Myarry.length; i++) {
var checkbox = document.createElement('input');
checkbox.type = "checkbox";
checkbox.id = "checkBox"+i;
checkbox.value = Myarry[i];
checkbox.class = "_class";
checkbox.appendAfter(br_3);
var lab_chk = document.createElement('label');
lab_chk.innerHTML = Myarry[i];
lab_chk.id = "lab_chk"+i;
lab_chk.value = Myarry[i];
lab_chk.style.marginLeft = "10px";
lab_chk.appendAfter(checkbox);
document.createElement('br').appendAfter(lab_chk);
}
}
else if(k != 0){
console.log("I am in 1st Loop");
checking(Myarry);
}
}
else {
Myarry = check_list2;
console.log("I am in 2nd Loop");
checking(Myarry);
}
}
function checking(Myarry){
console.log(Myarry.length);
for (var i = 0; i < Myarry.length; i++) {
var old_chk = document.getElementById('checkBox'+i);
var new_chk = document.createElement("input");
new_chk.type = "checkbox";
new_chk.id = "checkBox"+i;
new_chk.value = Myarry[i];
old_chk.parentNode.replaceChild(new_chk, old_chk);
var old_lab_chk = document.getElementById('lab_chk'+i);
var new_lab_chk = document.createElement('label');
new_lab_chk.innerHTML = Myarry[i];
new_lab_chk.style.marginLeft = "10px";
old_lab_chk.parentNode.replaceChild(new_lab_chk, old_lab_chk);
}
}
*This is happening inside a larger block of code, in a for loop. See end of post for entire loop.
I've read all of the posts that seem to be about this subject, but I'm still lost.
I'm trying to assign an onclick event to a checkbox. The function being assigned to the onclick event needs to have access to a variable that is available in the scope where the checkbox is defined (idvariable).
var idvariable = parentChildList[i].children[j]["subjectid"];
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "checkbox";
input.value = "";
input.onclick = function () {
return clicked(idvariable);
};
function clicked(id) {
alert(id);
};
I've tried every variation of inline and named functions, but I can't figure out how to give the clicked function access to idvariable. In this example above, the value of that variable is undefined.
Or, if I try it with this way:
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "checkbox";
input.value = "";
var idvariable = parentChildList[i].children[j]["subjectid"];
input.onclick = function (idvariable) {
return clicked(idvariable);
};
function clicked(id) {
alert(id);
};
I get an alert that says [object MouseEvent]. Same with the following where I removed the () from the method name I'm assigning to the onclick event:
var idvariable = parentChildList[i].children[j]["subjectid"];
input.onclick = function () {
return clicked;
}(idvariable);
function clicked(id) {
return alert(id);
};
*entire loop:
for (var i = 0; i < parentChildList.length; i++) {
var row = table1.insertRow(-1);
var cell = row.insertCell(0);
cell.innerHTML =
"<h4 class=\"panel-title\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" href=\"#collapse" + i + "\">" + parentChildList[i]["title"] + "</a></h4>";
if (parentChildList[i].children.length > 0) {
var row2 = table1.insertRow(-1);
var cell2 = row2.insertCell(0);
var table2 = document.createElement("table");
table2.className = "collapse";
table2.id = "collapse" + i;
cell2.appendChild(table2);
for (var j = 0; j < parentChildList[i].children.length; j++) {
var row3 = table2.insertRow(-1);
var cell3 = row3.insertCell(0);
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.className = "checkbox";
var label = document.createElement("label");
label.innerText = parentChildList[i].children[j]["title"];
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "checkbox";
input.value = "";
input.setAttribute('subj', idvariable);
var idvariable = parentChildList[i].children[j]["subjectid"];
alert(idvariable);
input.onclick = function () {
return clicked(this.getAttribute('subj'));
};
function clicked(id) {
return alert(id);
};
cell3.style.padding = "0px 0px 0px 10px";
cell3.style.fontsize = "x-small";
cell3.appendChild(div);
div.appendChild(label);
label.insertBefore(input, label.childNodes[0]);
}
}
}
onclick handler receives Event object. If a handler attached as elem.onclick=handler then the element is available inside the handler as this. So this is workaround.
var idvariable = parentChildList[i].children[j]["subjectid"];
var input = document.createElement("input");
input.type = "checkbox";
input.value = "";
input.setAttribute('data-subj', idvariable);
input.onclick = function () {
return clicked(this.getAttribute('data-subj'));
};
function clicked(id) {
alert(id);
};
You will have to append the checkbox to some existing element first, using the following code.
var element = document.getElementById("one").appendChild(input);
Then you can get the parent by using something like the following...
var x = document.getElementById("someId").parentElement;
where x will contain the parent element.

Sorry, I am not really good with JS.
The code is essentially the user double clicks on the text, textbox appears, changes text, and saves a new value. However, I want the user to be able to also click enter to save the new value.
In addition, if possible, to have a dedicated "Save" button to save the new value and "discard" to keep the old value.
Also, if I double click many times, the text appears as "(input type="text")". Is there a way to remove that?
Please help if you can.

Working jsBin
I am building a UI in JavaScript that involves adding a column of checkBoxes:
for (var key in ProcessAndPortList.list)
{
if (ProcessAndPortList.list.hasOwnProperty(key))
{
var dataRow = myTable.insertRow(-1);
var dataCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
dataCell.textContent = key;
dataCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
dataCell.textContent = ProcessAndPortList.list[key].port;
var terminationCheckbox = document.createElement('input');
terminationCheckbox.type = "checkbox";
terminationCheckbox.id = key;
terminationCheckbox.checked = ProcessAndPortList.list[key].markedForTermination;
terminationCheckbox.onchange = function() {
var isChecked = terminationCheckbox.checked;
markForTermination(key, isChecked);
};
var terminateCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
terminateCell.appendChild(terminationCheckbox);
}
}
The problem comes in associating the correct ID to the callback for when the checkbox for each entry is checked. I can't seem to get that checkbox's ID to the function. I only ever get the last checkBox's ID. How can I get the correct ID?
Changing this should work:
terminationCheckbox.onchange = function() {
markForTermination(this.id, this.checked);
};
It seems that you capture the variable key with that closure. But key changes on each iteration of the for loop. Capture some variable that is declared inside the loop instead.
for (var key in ProcessAndPortList.list)
{
if (ProcessAndPortList.list.hasOwnProperty(key))
{
var local_scope_key = key
var dataRow = myTable.insertRow(-1);
var dataCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
dataCell.textContent = key;
dataCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
dataCell.textContent = ProcessAndPortList.list[key].port;
var terminationCheckbox = document.createElement('input');
terminationCheckbox.type = "checkbox";
terminationCheckbox.id = key;
terminationCheckbox.checked = ProcessAndPortList.list[key].markedForTermination;
terminationCheckbox.onchange = function() {
var isChecked = terminationCheckbox.checked;
markForTermination(local_scope_key, isChecked);
};
var terminateCell = dataRow.insertCell(-1);
terminateCell.appendChild(terminationCheckbox);
}
}
