I'm trying to show save button only if input gets value,
The issue is if i use append for each input i get 1 button printed, what I'm looking for is regardless of input length get the button only once.
The important is input not be empty that's all.
Code
<input class="text_dec form-control" type="text" onkeypress="myFunction()" name="text_dec[]" id="'+ textFieldsCount.toString() +'">
function myFunction() {
$('#moreless').append("button here");
}
any idea?
Instead of keypress, use keyup, this will call the listener just when the key is released, so you will have the correct length of the input value. With that, you can check if the button must be displayed or not.
Also, I would have another check to make sure that input have some value on it to save when clicked.
Like below, take a look:
$(function(){
$('.myInput').on('keyup', function(){
var btnElem = $('.myButton');
var charLength = this.value.length;
if (charLength > 0){
btnElem.show();
}else {
btnElem.hide();
}
});
$(".myButton").on("click", function(){
if ($('.myInput').val().trim().length < 1){
alert("Input is empty")
return;
}
//Do your code
});
});
.myButton {
display: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<input class="myInput" type="text" value="">
<input class="myButton" type="button" value="Save Button" />
</body>
EDIT
Now, if you really need to make as you were doing before (I don't consider it a best practice and also recommend you to rethink if you really wanna go through this) here goes a code that will help you. Click to show.
Here I added the functions and created the button element (if necessary) then append it to DOM just when the input have some value length.
function myFunction(input){
var btnElem = $(".mySaveButton")[0];
if (!btnElem){
btnElem = document.createElement("button");
btnElem.textContent = "Save Button";
btnElem.onclick = btnClicked;
btnElem.className = "mySaveButton";
}
var charLength = input.value.length;
if (charLength > 0){
document.body.append(btnElem);
}else {
btnElem.remove();
}
};
function btnClicked(){
if ($('.myInput').val().trim().length < 1){
alert("Input is empty")
return;
}
//Do your code
};
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<input class="myInput" type="text" value="" onkeyup="myFunction(this)">
</body>
So I think you just want a button to show to the user once they type something in the text box. If that's the case, then you don't really want to append a button every time they press a key in the box.
Instead I'd make a button and set its css to display none and then when they keydown in the text box change the button's css to display block.
Something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/wug1bmse/10/
<body>
<input type="text">
<input class="myButton" type="button" value="button text" />
</body>
.myButton {
display: none;
}
$(function(){
$('input').on('keypress',function(){
var htmlElement= $('.myButton');
htmlElement.css('display', 'block');
});
});
Hiding the element with a class might be easier:
.btn-hidden {
display: none;
}
<input id="save-button" class="btn-hidden" type="button" value="save" />
function showSave() {
$('#save-button').removeClass('btn-hidden');
}
function hideSave() {
$('#save-button').addClass('btn-hidden');
}
I simply want to have a textbox on my webpage, using the HTML form, and input tags, and be able to have the inputted value be used by the Javascript on the page. My HTML looks like this:
<div id="firstq">
<form id="firstbox">
Choice: <input id="firstinput" type="text" name="choice">
</form>
</div>
and the Javascript I'm trying to use looks like this:
var topMenuChoice = document.getElementById("firstinput");
document.write(topMenuChoice);
}
However, all I see on the webpage, underneath the textbox, is "[object HTMLInputElement]". What do I do to get this to work right?
Thanks
here's an example with change event listener for firing a function when there's a change in form
var div = document.querySelector('div');
var topMenuChoice = document.getElementById("firstinput");
topMenuChoice.addEventListener('change',function(e){
div.innerHTML = e.target.value/***e.target.value is your input***/
var divInner = div.innerHTML;
setTimeout(function(){
document.write(divInner);
},2000)
})
<form id="firstbox">Choice:
<input id="firstinput" type="text" name="choice" value=66>
</form>
<div>look here!!</div>
Check this !
document.write(document.forms['firstbox'].firstinput.value);
OR
var topMenuChoice = document.getElementById("firstinput");
document.write(topMenuChoice.value);
}
See http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_text_value.asp
var htmlInputElementObjet = document.getElementById("firstinput");
document.write(htmlInputElementObjet.value);
<div id="firstq">
<form id="firstbox">
Choice: <input id="firstinput" type="text" name="choice" value="initial value">
</form>
</div>
If you want to get the text typed in your input you need to use the value property of the element. You can also use another HTML tag to show the results (avoid using document.write):
HTML
<div id="firstq">
<form id="firstbox">
Choice: <input id="firstinput" type="text" name="choice">
</form>
<div id="result"></div>
</div>
JS
var topMenuChoice = document.getElementById("firstinput");
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = topMenuChoice.value;
You have to consider the usage of an event (click, keypress) to control the exactly moment to retrieve the input value.
JS
document.getElementById('firstinput').addEventListener('keypress', function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) { //detect enter key pressed
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = this.value;
}
});
use the value property
var topMenuChoice = document.getElementById("firstinput");
document.write(topMenuChoice).value;
}
Maybe I've been working on my site for to long, but I can't get the following to work. I am having my textarea fire an onkeyup() event called limiter which is supposed to check the textarea and limit the text in the box, while updated another readonly input field that shows the amount of characters left.
This is the javascript code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var count = "500";
function limiter(){
var comment = document.getElementById("comment");
var form = this.parent;
var tex = comment.value;
var len = tex.length;
if(len > count){
tex = tex.substring(0,count);
comment.value =tex;
return false;
}
form.limit.value = count-len;
}
</script>
The form looks like this:
<form id="add-course-rating" method="post" action="/course_ratings/add/8/3/5/3"
accept- charset="utf-8"><div style="display:none;"><input type="hidden"
name="_method" value="POST" />
//Other inputs here
<div id="comment-name" style="margin-top:10px">
<div id="comment-name-text">
<b>Comments</b><br />
Please leave any comments that you think will help anyone else.
</div>
<style type="text/css">
.rating-form-box textarea {
-moz-border-radius:5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
</style>
<div class="rating-form-box">
<textarea name="data[CourseRatings][comment]" id="comment"
onkeyup="limiter()" cols="115" rows="5" ></textarea>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<input type=text name=limit size=4
readonly value="+count+">");
</script>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Add Rating" style="float: right;">
</form>
If anyone can help that would be great.
You have:
onkeyup="limiter()"
Since you aren't calling limiter in the context of an object, you are calling window.limiter.
var form = this.parent;
So this is window and form is window.parent, which is the same as window (unless the document is loaded in a frame).
You want to make this the form control. Do this using event binding in unobtrusive JavaScript.
(And don't use an input as an element solely for displaying output, it does not make sense. You probably want to use a label associated with the textarea … and to use another label for <b>Comments</b><br />Please leave any comments that you think will help anyone else.)
Would this work for your? Example Link
EDIT:
You should pass the element instance with the function call onkeyup="limiter(this)" this way in your function you'll have a reference to the object that called this function, now your function will be something like:
function limiter(a) {
var comment = a;
var form = document.getElementById('add-course-rating');
var tex = comment.value;
var len = tex.length;
if (len > count) {
tex = tex.substring(0, count);
comment.value = tex;
return false;
}
form.limit.value = count - len;
}
Also no need to create element dynamically if you don't really need that! so just set the value of the readonly with Javascript:
<input type="text" name="limit" id="limit" size="4" readonly value="">
<script type="text/javascript">
var limit = document.getElementById('limit');
limit.value = count;
</script>
And you are good to go!
I have a webpage. There is a button called add. When this add button is clicked then 1 text box must be added. This should happen at client side only.
I want to allow the user to add at most 10 text boxes.
How can I achieve it using javascript?
example:
only 1 text box is displayed
user click add >
2 text boxes displayed
user clicks add >
I also wants to provide a button called "remove" by which the user can remove the extra text box
Can anyone provide me a javascript code for this??
Untested, but this should work (assuming an element with the right id exists);
var add_input = function () {
var count = 0;
return function add_input() {
count++;
if (count >= 10) {
return false;
}
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.name = 'generated_input';
document.getElementbyId('inputs_contained').appendChild(input);
}
}();
add_input();
add_input();
add_input();
A solution using the jQuery framework:
<form>
<ul class="addedfields">
<li><input type="text" name="field[]" class="textbox" />
<input type="button" class="removebutton" value="remove"/></li>
</ul>
<input type="button" class="addbutton" value="add"/>
</form>
The jQuery script code:
$(function(){
$(".addbutton").click(){
if(".addedfields").length < 10){
$(".addedfields").append(
'<li><input type="text" name="field[]" class="textbox" />' +
'<input type="button" class="removebutton" value="remove"/></li>'
);
}
}
// live event will automatically be attached to every new remove button
$(".removebutton").live("click",function(){
$(this).parent().remove();
});
});
Note: I did not test the code.
Edit: changed faulty quotation marks
I hope you are using jQuery.
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I have two radio buttons and want to post the value of the selected one.
How can I get the value with jQuery?
I can get all of them like this:
$("form :radio")
How do I know which one is selected?
To get the value of the selected radioName item of a form with id myForm:
$('input[name=radioName]:checked', '#myForm').val()
Here's an example:
$('#myForm input').on('change', function() {
alert($('input[name=radioName]:checked', '#myForm').val());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="myForm">
<fieldset>
<legend>Choose radioName</legend>
<label><input type="radio" name="radioName" value="1" /> 1</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" name="radioName" value="2" /> 2</label> <br />
<label><input type="radio" name="radioName" value="3" /> 3</label> <br />
</fieldset>
</form>
Use this..
$("#myform input[type='radio']:checked").val();
If you already have a reference to a radio button group, for example:
var myRadio = $("input[name=myRadio]");
Use the filter() function, not find(). (find() is for locating child/descendant elements, whereas filter() searches top-level elements in your selection.)
var checkedValue = myRadio.filter(":checked").val();
Notes: This answer was originally correcting another answer that recommended using find(), which seems to have since been changed. find() could still be useful for the situation where you already had a reference to a container element, but not to the radio buttons, e.g.:
var form = $("#mainForm");
...
var checkedValue = form.find("input[name=myRadio]:checked").val();
This should work:
$("input[name='radioName']:checked").val()
Note the "" usaged around the input:checked and not '' like the Peter J's solution
You can use the :checked selector along with the radio selector.
$("form:radio:checked").val();
If you want just the boolean value, i.e. if it's checked or not try this:
$("#Myradio").is(":checked")
Get all radios:
var radios = jQuery("input[type='radio']");
Filter to get the one thats checked
radios.filter(":checked")
Another option is:
$('input[name=radioName]:checked').val()
$("input:radio:checked").val();
In my case I have two radio buttons in one form and I wanted to know the status of each button.
This below worked for me:
// get radio buttons value
console.log( "radio1: " + $('input[id=radio1]:checked', '#toggle-form').val() );
console.log( "radio2: " + $('input[id=radio2]:checked', '#toggle-form').val() );
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="toggle-form">
<div id="radio">
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radio" checked="checked" /><label for="radio1">Plot single</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radio"/><label for="radio2">Plot all</label>
</div>
</form>
Here's how I would write the form and handle the getting of the checked radio.
Using a form called myForm:
<form id='myForm'>
<input type='radio' name='radio1' class='radio1' value='val1' />
<input type='radio' name='radio1' class='radio1' value='val2' />
...
</form>
Get the value from the form:
$('#myForm .radio1:checked').val();
If you're not posting the form, I would simplify it further by using:
<input type='radio' class='radio1' value='val1' />
<input type='radio' class='radio1' value='val2' />
Then getting the checked value becomes:
$('.radio1:checked').val();
Having a class name on the input allows me to easily style the inputs...
try this one.
it worked for me
$('input[type="radio"][name="name"]:checked').val();
In a JSF generated radio button (using <h:selectOneRadio> tag), you can do this:
radiobuttonvalue = jQuery("input[name='form_id\:radiobutton_id']:checked").val();
where selectOneRadio ID is radiobutton_id and form ID is form_id.
Be sure to use name instead id, as indicated, because jQuery uses this attribute (name is generated automatically by JSF resembling control ID).
Also, check if the user does not select anything.
var radioanswer = 'none';
if ($('input[name=myRadio]:checked').val() != null) {
radioanswer = $('input[name=myRadio]:checked').val();
}
If you have Multiple radio buttons in single form then
var myRadio1 = $('input[name=radioButtonName1]');
var value1 = myRadio1.filter(':checked').val();
var myRadio2 = $('input[name=radioButtonName2]');
var value2 = myRadio2.filter(':checked').val();
This is working for me.
I wrote a jQuery plugin for setting and getting radio-button values. It also respects the "change" event on them.
(function ($) {
function changeRadioButton(element, value) {
var name = $(element).attr("name");
$("[type=radio][name=" + name + "]:checked").removeAttr("checked");
$("[type=radio][name=" + name + "][value=" + value + "]").attr("checked", "checked");
$("[type=radio][name=" + name + "]:checked").change();
}
function getRadioButton(element) {
var name = $(element).attr("name");
return $("[type=radio][name=" + name + "]:checked").attr("value");
}
var originalVal = $.fn.val;
$.fn.val = function(value) {
//is it a radio button? treat it differently.
if($(this).is("[type=radio]")) {
if (typeof value != 'undefined') {
//setter
changeRadioButton(this, value);
return $(this);
} else {
//getter
return getRadioButton(this);
}
} else {
//it wasn't a radio button - let's call the default val function.
if (typeof value != 'undefined') {
return originalVal.call(this, value);
} else {
return originalVal.call(this);
}
}
};
})(jQuery);
Put the code anywhere to enable the addin. Then enjoy! It just overrides the default val function without breaking anything.
You can visit this jsFiddle to try it in action, and see how it works.
Fiddle
$(".Stat").click(function () {
var rdbVal1 = $("input[name$=S]:checked").val();
}
This works fine
$('input[type="radio"][class="className"]:checked').val()
Working Demo
The :checked selector works for checkboxes, radio buttons, and select elements. For select elements only, use the :selected selector.
API for :checked Selector
To get the value of the selected radio that uses a class:
$('.class:checked').val()
I use this simple script
$('input[name="myRadio"]').on('change', function() {
var radioValue = $('input[name="myRadio"]:checked').val();
alert(radioValue);
});
Use this:
value = $('input[name=button-name]:checked').val();

If you only have 1 set of radio buttons on 1 form, the jQuery code is as simple as this:
$( "input:checked" ).val()
I've released a library to help with this. Pulls all possible input values, actually, but also includes which radio button was checked. You can check it out at https://github.com/mazondo/formalizedata
It'll give you a js object of the answers, so a form like:
<form>
<input type="radio" name"favorite-color" value="blue" checked> Blue
<input type="radio" name="favorite-color" value="red"> Red
</form>
will give you:
$("form").formalizeData()
{
"favorite-color" : "blue"
}
JQuery to get all the radio buttons in the form and the checked value.
$.each($("input[type='radio']").filter(":checked"), function () {
console.log("Name:" + this.name);
console.log("Value:" + $(this).val());
});
To retrieve all radio buttons values in JavaScript array use following jQuery code :
var values = jQuery('input:checkbox:checked.group1').map(function () {
return this.value;
}).get();
try it-
var radioVal = $("#myform").find("input[type='radio']:checked").val();
console.log(radioVal);
Another way to get it:
$("#myForm input[type=radio]").on("change",function(){
if(this.checked) {
alert(this.value);
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="myForm">
<span><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="1">1</span><br>
<span><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="2">2</span>
</form>
From this question, I came up with an alternate way to access the currently selected input when you're within a click event for its respective label. The reason why is because the newly selected input isn't updated until after its label's click event.
TL;DR
$('label').click(function() {
var selected = $('#' + $(this).attr('for')).val();
...
});
$(function() {
// this outright does not work properly as explained above
$('#reported label').click(function() {
var query = $('input[name="filter"]:checked').val();
var time = (new Date()).toString();
$('.query[data-method="click event"]').html(query + ' at ' + time);
});
// this works, but fails to update when same label is clicked consecutively
$('#reported input[name="filter"]').on('change', function() {
var query = $('input[name="filter"]:checked').val();
var time = (new Date()).toString();
$('.query[data-method="change event"]').html(query + ' at ' + time);
});
// here is the solution I came up with
$('#reported label').click(function() {
var query = $('#' + $(this).attr('for')).val();
var time = (new Date()).toString();
$('.query[data-method="click event with this"]').html(query + ' at ' + time);
});
});
input[name="filter"] {
display: none;
