How to set values in dynamically created text boxes - javascript

In my app I am creating some dynamic textboxes by clicking an add button. We can put some values and time also. Now my need is that when the page loads, I want a given number of textboxes to be created and populated by a set of values. I am able to create the text boxes onload but cannot set the values. Here I am giving a fiddle where I have created my functionality. How can I set some values dynamically? Here is the fiddle MYFIDDLE
And also I want timepicker function in those onload created boxes.
function getTextBoxAfterValiddation(val){
var str_array = ['jeet','chatterjee'];
var randomId = '\''+"#interviewName"+val+'\'';
var nameId = "interviewName"+val+"";
var allNames = str_array.replace(/((\[)|(\]))/g,"");
alert(randomId)
$(randomId).val(arr[val]);
return '<input class="txt1" name = "DynamicTextBox" type="text" id = "'+nameId+'"/>';
}
for(var i = 0; i < 4; i++){
var div = $("<div />");
div.html(getTextBoxAfterValiddation(i));
$("#TextBoxContainer").append(div);
}

When you dynamically generate each element increment a counter and use that value as the elements id. Then you can put html or values into each element using jquery. In the example below every time i click a button with id "addphys" i append a new div on. Later i can grab values from each div because i know the count and each new div id is phys1, phys2, phys3...
var numphys = 0;
$("#addphys").click(function(){
$("#test").append("<div class=\"addedphys\"><p id=\"phys"+ numphys + "\"><p><label>Physician Username:</label><input type=\"text\" class=\"inputbox\" id=\"physusername" + numphys + "\" name=\"pass\"></p><p><label>Physician Password:</label><input type=\"text\" class=\"inputbox\" id=\"physpassword" + numphys + "\" name=\"pass\"></p></p></div>");
numphys += 1;
});
Hope that helps.

SetVariable(var count, var count)

As the code below shows, I am appending a table with some table rows containing table data. The table data is getting appended with excel formula inside. How can I change the count variable inside td.class after it was appended in table upon click event or something similar.
I Want to update td.excel count attribute with onclick event
.append("<td class="
excel " x:num x:fmla=\"=SUM(H" + count + " *I" + count + ")
$("#example").on("click", "button", function() {
$(this).closest("tr").remove();
count--;
var i = 10;
for (i = 10; i < count; i++) {
let div1 = document.getElementsByClassName("excel");
var attribute = div1.SetAttribute(count, count);
}
}
Your problem is not clear. But what I've got from your question is that you want to dynamically append to . But you end up with excel formula getting inside it.
So, according to me when you want to insert something dynamically then you should use `` these quotes instead of '' and "". eg :-
var i = 1;
.append(`<td class="hello${i}"></td>`)

How to replace an input box with a dropdown in Vanilla JS

I am trying to replace an input box with Vanilla JS. Currently I am using jquery to do this like so.
column.replaceWith("<select id='" + column[0].id + "' name='" + column[0].id + "' class='" + column[0].className + "'></select>");
I am refactoring all my code into Vanilla JS and this is the last thing I need to do. I have done the document.createElement('select'); and that creates the <select></select> element. I then tried to do;
newEl.innerHTML += '<select id="selBidReceivedIsPM" name="selBidReceivedIsPM">'
+ '<option value="0">AM</option>'
+ '<option value="1">PM</option>';
,
but this doesn't create the id or name. I've been googling and trying things for the last 3 hours and need some help figuring this out.
html:
<label for="columnA5"></label>
<input
type="number"
id="columnA5"
name="columnA5"
class="columnA"
step="any"
>
Something like this should work to create select with options having value and innerHTML.
var select = document.createElement('select');
select.id="selBidReceivedIsPM"
select.name="selBidReceivedIsPM"
var val=2;
var time=["AM","PM"];
for (var i = 0; i<val; i++){
var opt = document.createElement('option');
opt.value = i;
opt.innerHTML = time[i];
select.appendChild(opt);
}
console.log(select)
I think, if DOM element is not created by javascript but rendered You can't "delete" it (in Your case input type="number"...).
You can "replace" it by "hiding" input and place select element on "his" place.
There is example, try it :
function replaceEle() {
var txt=document.getElementById('columnA5');
/*
or You can use querySelectorAll :
var txt=document.querySelectorAll('input[type="number"]');
then You'll get all textboxes in page, and then You have to use for loop
*/
var sel=document.createElement('select'); //create select element
sel.id='selBidReceivedIsPM';
sel.setAttribute('onchange','alert(this.value)');
/*show selected value, or instead alert You can type some JS
function, what gonna do when option is changed */
var opt=document.createElement('option'); //create option element
opt.value=0;opt.innerHTML='AM';
sel.appendChild(opt); //add option element into select element
opt=document.createElement('option');
opt.value=1; opt.innerHTML='PM';
sel.appendChild(opt);
sel.selectedIndex=0; //set default selected value
txt.style.display='none'; //hide input element
txt.parentNode.insertBefore(sel, txt); //insert select element just before input,
}
<input type="number" id="columnA5" value=""/><br>
<input type="button" value="Replace it" onclick="replaceEle();"/>

Pull first instance of input and add id via JS

I have to add an id to an element. An engine generates the HTML... I have no access to it. It generates random IDs as such:
<input id="5352Adkdie4929888a">
I want to grab the first instance of "<input id=" and replace the ID it has with
the ID it has + DatePicker.
Example:
<input id="5352Adkdie4929888a DatePicker">
How would I go about doing this?
My code so far:
function addID(){
var html= document.documentElement.innerHTML;
var start= '<input id="';
var end= '"'
var htmlIWant=html.substring(html.indexOf(start) + start.length), html.indexOf(end)-1 + 'DatePicker';
}
Am I on the right track? How do I actually replace the HTML? Thanks!
This is a pure javascript solution as per your requirements.
Assuming that your page will have many input tags and some of them will be without ID attribute below is a solution you can try.
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
if (elements[i].type == "text" && elements[i].hasAttribute("id"))
{
var id = elements[i].getAttribute("id");
elements[i].setAttribute("id", id + "10");
break;
}
}
Grab the first input inside the element using
$('input:first-child').attr('id','whateverIdName');
If you have to catch first input box that has id attribute, you should do :
$("input[id]")[0]
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Adding code to div clears input val

I have a JS function that adds divs of the class PizzaBox to an empty div called PizzaBoxHolder. Why is it that whenever a new line is created, the user-inputted values in the inputs are replaced with the placeholders? Also, as a side note, should I even be using a place holder for a color input?
function newBox
{
numOfBoxes += 1; //This is a global variable declared elsewhere, other functions use it but only this one modifies it
var pizzaBoxCode = "<div class = 'PizzaBox'>"
+ " <h6>Box number " + numOfBoxes + "</h6>"
+ " <p>Color: <input type = 'color' class = 'boxColor' placeholder = '#000000'/></p>"
+ " <p>Toppings: <input type = 'text' class = 'toppings' placeholder = 'Anything but anchovies or mushroom! Never anchovies or mushroom!'/></p>"
+ "</div>";
var PizzaBoxHolder = document.getElementById("PizzaBoxHolder") //Empty div until this function fills it up
PizzaBoxHolder.innerHTML += pizzaBoxCode;
}
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
The way you're currently doing it, is resetting the entire innerHTML of your main PizzaBoxHolder element. By resetting the HTML, you're losing the current values. If you change the code to create an element, and then call .appendChild, it'll work as expected. The reason is, you're only appending a node to the current element.
var pizza = document.createElement("div");
pizza.className += "PizzaBox";
pizza.innerHTML = "<h6>Box number " + numOfBoxes + "</h6><p>Color: <input type='color' class='boxColor' placeholder = '#000000'/></p><p>Toppings: <input type='text' class='toppings' placeholder='Anything but anchovies or mushroom! Never anchovies or mushroom!'/></p>";
var PizzaBoxHolder = document.getElementById("PizzaBoxHolder");
PizzaBoxHolder.appendChild(pizza);
Working fiddle.

Get value of dynamically created textbox using JavaScript

I'm using JavaScript to dynamically add rows to a table, I create some textboxes in each row, I've added an onkeyup event to one of my textboxes:
var myTotal = "1";
var spanTotal = document.createElement("span");
spanTotal.innerHTML = "<input style=\"width:50px\" type=\"text\" name=\"total\" value=" + myTotal + ">";
spanCount.onkeyup = function ()
{
alert(spanTotal.innerHTML);
};
then I add this span (which is rendered as an HTML textbox) to my table row. I want to have value of my dynamically created textbox, but whenever I change this textbox, initial value of this textbox is displayed in alert box (i.e. 1). Initial value of this textbox is "1", but when I change it (for instance type a 0 in textbox), again "1" is displyaed in alert box. I want to have value of my dynamically created textbox, should I give an ID to my span? how should I define spanCount.onkeyup function? where should it be defined so that I can have exact value of this textbox?
I created a jsFiddle. You can get value of input box using childNodes. There are other problems in code you were using spanCount istead of spanTotal.
Modified code:
var myTotal = "1";
var spanTotal = document.createElement("span");
spanTotal.innerHTML = "<input style=\"width:50px\" type=\"text\" name=\"total\" value=" + myTotal + ">";
document.body.appendChild(spanTotal);
spanTotal.onkeyup = function() {
alert(spanTotal.childNodes[0].value);
};​
Below modified code maybe can solve your problem:
var myTotal = 1;
/* object creation */
var span = document.createElement('span');
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.setAttribute('type', 'text');
input.setAttribute('name', 'total');
input.setAttribute('style', 'width:50px;');
input.setAttribute('value', myTotal);
// append each object to respective container
span.appendChild(input);
document.appendChild(span);
/* event handler */
input.onkeyup = function(){
alert(this.value);
}
