The scenario is that, I want to design a Post form which is used to record what fruit I eat in one meal, include picture, content, many kind of fruit.
The model relationship is that,
Post has_many fruits
Fruit belong_to post
I usee Jquery-ui to make autocomplete in order to help user type their fruit. After they type there fruit tag, it will create a tag under the input field.
Like this
However how to I create this in form? I thought about dynamic nested form, but I don't want there're a lots of form, I wish there would be only one input and do the same thing with dynamic nested form.
Here is the github, please let me know if I need to provide more information.
$(document).on('click','#add_fruit',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
addFruitTag();
});
function addFruitTag(){
var content = $('#content').val().trim();
var fruit = $('#fruit').val().trim();
if(content.length <1 || fruit.length < 1){
alert("Please fill content and fruit");
}else{
$('#fruit_tags').append(
$('<input>')
.attr('type','checkbox')
.attr('name','fruits[]')
.attr('value',$('#fruit').val())
.prop('checked','true')
)
.append(
$('<label>')
.text($('#fruit').val())
)
.append($('<br>'));
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form action="#" method="GET">
Content : <input type="text" id="content" name="content"><br/>
Fruit : <input type="text" id="fruit">
<button id="add_fruit">Add Fruit</button><br/>
<div id="fruit_tags">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Create Post">
</form>
Note: I don't have much idea about auto complete plugin, so I have created the function addFruitTag(), call it where you are calling your function of adding hash tags of fruits.
And when you will submit the form to the server, you can retrieve the added fruits by accessing the fruits[] variable , which will be an array containing the selected fruits tags.

I have an html form.
In one input field I have to insert the Customer.
I have a mysql database with all the customers (maybe 1000 or more).
As there are a lot of results, I don't want to use a dropdown list or something like that.
I want to put near the input field a button, and when I click on it it creates a popup with a list of all customer and some customizable filters, so i can search and double click on the desired customer and it puts the customer name (with ID in the Value) in the input form.
I don't find an example to do something like that, but I know that a lot of websites uses this kind of thing.
Can you help me to find an example or can you give me some hint on how to proceed?
Used languages: HTML, PHP, mysql, jquery, javascript
Thank you
On button click, Call a PHP file using ajax to load all the customers into a popup-box. Call dblclick() jquery fucntion to add the value, id of the customer into the input field.
HTML
<input type="text" class="inputField" name="CustomerName" />
<input type="text" class="inputField2" name="CustomerId" />
POPUP HTML
<ul>
<li><span data-cust-value="Cutomer some" data-cust-id="2" >Cutomer some</a></li>
<li><span data-cust-value="Cutomer some one" data-cust-id="3" >Cutomer some one</a></li>
</ul>
JQuery
$( ".customerValues" ).dblclick(function() {
$('.inputField').val($(this).attr('data-cust-value'));
$('.inputField2').val($(this).attr('data-cust-id'));
});
So I am trying to store data to variables on the page when a button is clicked, there are multiple buttons and it needs to store data for that specific button. Each one of these buttons is nested inside a <form onsubmit></form> all the data I need to extra is within this form in different <input> and <div> tags. So using javascript or jquery how can I select the value of a specific and tag. So when the button is clicked on it adds this product to the cart, I want to take the productNumber, price, and quantity and store them to my own variables. When the button is clicked the forum calls onsubmit="ShoppingCartAddAJAX( this ); so I want to store this data in the ShoppingCartAddAJAX function.
Here is what one of the forms on the page looks like.
<form method="post" name="addtocart-501" onsubmit="ShoppingCartAddAJAX( this ); return false;">
<input type="hidden" name="formName" value="ShoppingCartAddAJAX" />
<input type="hidden" name="productNumber" value="758201" />
<input id="qtyproduct" type="hidden" class="hiddenqty" name="dmst_Qty_2805" value="1" />
<div class="price">
<div class="pricenew singleprice">
$7.99
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</form>
So I have been trying to get this data by doing something like this.
var pn = $('input[name$="productNumber"]').val();
var qty = $('input[id$="qtyproduct"]').val();
In my javascript file the function looks something like this:
function ShoppingCartAddAJAX(formElement, productNumber) {
var pn = $('formElement.input[name$="productNumber"]').val();
var aa = $('formElement[name$="productNumber"]').val();
var qty = $('input[id$="qtyproduct"]').val();
}
But with alot more code... just showing that the function is passing in formElement and a productNumber.
But this is giving me the product number and quantity of the first product on the page, I need the data for which ever button the user decides to click on and there are multiple ones on the page not just one. I hope that when the button is clicked and that function is fired there is a way to look what forum it came from and then extract that data. I would also like to be able to get the price but it is stored in <div class="pricenew singleprice"> $7.99</div>.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You are getting the product number and quantity of the first record since you have multiple input fields in the form with the name of productNumber(according to your description). So what basically happens here is when you call $('input[name="productNumber"]').val() jquery returns you the value of the first input field. Instead of that, do something like this inside your ShoppingCartAddAJAX function.
function ShoppingCartAddAJAX(form)
{
// Find child an element inside our form with the id of "qtyproduct"
// I used "find("#qtyproduct")" method so it searches anything nested inside your specific form element
// You can use "children("#qtyproduct")" method also
var qty = $(form).find("#qtyproduct").val();
var pn = $(form).find("input[name='productNumber']").val();
var pp = $(form).find(".pricenew.singleprice").text();
}
I am not a JavaScript person really, I write in ASP and use a SQL database in the backend. But our marketing director requested a change that will use JavaScript.
On our view cart page, we're currently displaying an input box with a modify button to allow customers to change the quantity of the listed item (in that row... there could be multiple products in their cart, each having their own quantity input).
<form method="post" action="updateitem.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="<%= PRODUCT_ID %>">
Quantity: <input type"text" name="quantity">
<input type="image" name="Submit" src="/graphics/modify.gif" align="middle" border="0" alt="Continue">
</form>
What I'd like to make work is something like this. Hrm, assuming I need to do my form/div name differently for each product? I can easily write the product_id into the id tags but then assuming I'd also need to loop through my function for each one. I've gotten this far in writing the replacement code:
Get Dataset from Database (items in cart) and loop through:
<form method="post" action="updateitem.asp" id="updateitems<%= PRODUCT_ID %>">
Quantity: <input type="text" name="qty<%= PRODUCT_ID %>" OnChange="Javascript:UpdateQty()")
<div id="showlink<%= PRODUCT_ID %>">
<br /><span class="BodyTiny">update</span>
</div>
</form>
END LOOP
So if the quantity changes, it displays the word "update" where they can click and it passes whatever quantity that is in the quantity field to the updateitem.asp (in a way I can then update it in the database in ASP/SQL). In the code above, if we could just insert the new # in the a href statement after quantity=, then I could fix it in the updateitems.asp page without a problem.
I'm not sure where to even begin honestly, I have this so far:
LOOP through dataset so each product has its own function
<script Language="JavaScript">
<!--
function UpdateQty(updateitems<%= PRODUCT_ID %>) {
Show div updateitems<%= PRODUCT_ID %>
Replace NEWQUANT within that div with the value in the input field qty<%= PRODUCT_ID %>
}
//-->
</script>
END LOOP
I'm having a few problems...
I am not sure how to write the function UpdateQty. It should A) display the stuff in div id=showlink, and B) add the # from the input named quantity quantity to the href so I can update it in the database on the next page
If they have JavaScript turned off, they should be able to enter a new quantity and just hit enter for it to submit the form. I believe this will work as its a form with 1 text input and 1 hidden one, so just hitting enter in the text input should submit it. But that should still work with whatever JavaScript is added to make the showlink div show if it changes.
Do I need to add a class to my CSS for showlink? If so, what do I need to put in it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mahalo!
so what you can do for updateQty is have one function that will be correct for all products in a list just by making a function that finds all the necessary elements by relative paths.
//in this function the context is the element, so the
//`this` variable can be used rather than a param
//for the product id
function updateQty() {
//show the update link
var parent = this.parentNode;
//assumes only the update text uses the class bodyTiny, and that there
//is only one element using it. obviously making this invariant true
//would be trivial by adding a different class name
var updateText = parent.getElementsByClassName("bodyTiny")[0];
updateText.style.display = 'block';
var updateLink = updateText.parentNode
, updateHref = updateLink.href;
//next we find the current quantity and replace it with the input
updateHref = updateHref.replace(/qty=(\d*)/, 'qty='+this.value);
//then we set the link element's attribute
updateLink.href = updateHref;
//now when you mouse over the link you should see the url has changed
}
You can also set your form to POST the equivalent data, and then I guess on the server side you will have your OnGetPage and OnPostback both delegate to the same method with the parameters either parsed out of the query string or out of the post data.
You can see it running on jsfiddle. Hopefully this helps!
I have multiple forms that are dynamically created with different input names and id's. The only thing unique they will have is the inner HTML of the label. Is it possible to select the input via the label inner HTML with jQuery? Here is an example of one of my patient date of birth blocks, there are many and all unique except for innerHTML.
<div class="iphorm-element-spacer iphorm-element-spacer-text iphorm_1_8-element-spacer">
<label for="iphorm_081a9e2e6b9c83d70496906bb4671904150cf4b43c0cb1_8">events=Object { mouseover=[1], mouseout=[1]}handle=function()data=Object { InFieldLabels={...}}
Patient DOB
<span class="iphorm-required">*</span>
</label>
<div class="iphorm-input-wrap iphorm-input-wrap-text iphorm_1_8-input-wrap">
<input id="iphorm_081a9e2e6b9c83d70496906bb4671904150cf4b43c0cb1_8" class="iphorm-element-text iphorm_1_8" type="text" value="" name="iphorm_1_8">events=Object { focus=[1], blur=[1], keydown=[1], more...}handle=function()
</div>
<div class="iphorm-errors-wrap iphorm-hidden"> </div>
This is in a Wordpress Plugin and because we are building to allow employees to edit their sites (this is actually a Wordpress Network), we do not want to alter the plugin if possible.
Note that the label "for" and the input "id" share the same dynamic key, so this might be a way to maybe get the id, but wanted to see if there is a shorter way of doing this.
Here I cleaned up what is likely not used...
<div>
<label for="iphorm_081a9e2e6b9c83d70496906bb4671904150cf4b43c0cb1_8">
Patient DOB
<span class="iphorm-required">*</span>
</label>
<div>
<input id="iphorm_081a9e2e6b9c83d70496906bb4671904150cf4b43c0cb1_8">
</div>
You can use the contains selector to select the Patient DOB labels, then find the related input.
$('label:contains("Patient DOB")').parent('div').find('input');
This assumes that the label and input are wrapped in the same div and may not work if more than one pair is in the same div. At least the first part will get you the labels that contain Patient DOB, then you can adjust the later parts to find the correct input element.
For more help on jquery selectors, see the API.
Here is a fiddle demonstrating this.
var getForm = function(labelInnerHtml) {
var $labels = jQuery('label');
$labels.each(function() {
if (jQuery(this).html() == labelInnerHtml) {
var for_id = jQuery(this).attr('for');
return jQuery('#'+for_id);
}
});
return [];
};
The class iphorm_1_8 on the input is unique for each form element. So it's simple.
$('.iphorm_1_8');
How can I create a dynamic form using jQuery. For example if I have to repeat a block of html for 3 times and show them one by one and also how can I fetch the value of this dynamic form value.
<div>
<div>Name: <input type="text" id="name"></div>
<div>Address: <input type="text" id="address"></div>
</div>
To insert that HTML into a form 3 times, you could simply perform it in a loop.
HTML:
<form id="myForm"></form>
jQuery:
$(function() {
var $form = $('#myForm'); // Grab a reference to the form
// Append your HTML, updating the ID attributes to keep HTML valid
for(var i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
$form.append('<div><div>Name: <input type="text" id="name' + i + '"></div><div>Address: <input type="text" id="address' + i + '"></div></div>')
}
});
As far as fetching values, how you go about it would depend on your intent. jQuery can serialize the entire form, or you can select individual input values.
.append() - http://api.jquery.com/append/
This is a pretty broad question and feels a lot like 'do my work' as opposed to 'help me solve this problem.' That being said, a generic question begets an generic answer.
You can add new address rows by using the append() method and bind that to either the current row's blur - although that seems messy, or a set of +/- buttons that allow you to add and remove rows from your form. If you're processing the form with PHP on the server side, you can name the fields like this:
<input type='text' name='address[]' />
and php will create an array in $_POST['address'] containing all the values.
