I have this HTML:
<input type="text" name="textField" />
<input type="submit" value="send" />
How can I do something like this:
When the text field is empty the submit should be disabled (disabled="disabled").
When something is typed in the text field to remove the disabled attribute.
If the text field becomes empty again(the text is deleted) the submit button should be disabled again.
I tried something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled','disabled');
$('input[type="text"]').change(function(){
if($(this).val != ''){
$('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
});
…but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
The problem is that the change event fires only when focus is moved away from the input (e.g. someone clicks off the input or tabs out of it). Try using keyup instead:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
$('input[type="text"]').keyup(function() {
if($(this).val() != '') {
$(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', false);
}
});
});
$(function() {
$(":text").keypress(check_submit).each(function() {
check_submit();
});
});
function check_submit() {
if ($(this).val().length == 0) {
$(":submit").attr("disabled", true);
} else {
$(":submit").removeAttr("disabled");
}
}
This question is 2 years old but it's still a good question and it was the first Google result, but all of the existing answers recommend setting and removing the HTML attribute (removeAttr("disabled")) "disabled", which is not the right approach. There is a lot of confusion regarding attribute vs. property.
HTML
The "disabled" in <input type="button" disabled> in the markup is called a boolean attribute by the W3C.
HTML vs. DOM
Quote:
A property is in the DOM; an attribute is in the HTML that is parsed into the DOM.

jQuery
Related:
Nevertheless, the most important concept to remember about the checked attribute is that it does not correspond to the checked property. The attribute actually corresponds to the defaultChecked property and should be used only to set the initial value of the checkbox. The checked attribute value does not change with the state of the checkbox, while the checked property does. Therefore, the cross-browser-compatible way to determine if a checkbox is checked is to use the property.
Relevant:
Properties generally affect the dynamic state of a DOM element without changing the serialized HTML attribute. Examples include the value property of input elements, the disabled property of inputs and buttons, or the checked property of a checkbox. The .prop() method should be used to set disabled and checked instead of the .attr() method.
$( "input" ).prop( "disabled", false );
Summary
To [...] change DOM properties such as the [...] disabled state of form elements, use the .prop() method.
(http://api.jquery.com/attr/)
As for the disable on change part of the question: There is an event called "input", but browser support is limited and it's not a jQuery event, so jQuery won't make it work. The change event works reliably, but is fired when the element loses focus. So one might combine the two (some people also listen for keyup and paste).
Here's an untested piece of code to show what I mean:
$(document).ready(function() {
var $submit = $('input[type="submit"]');
$submit.prop('disabled', true);
$('input[type="text"]').on('input change', function() { //'input change keyup paste'
$submit.prop('disabled', !$(this).val().length);
});
});
To remove disabled attribute use,
$("#elementID").removeAttr('disabled');
and to add disabled attribute use,
$("#elementID").prop("disabled", true);
Enjoy :)
or for us that dont like to use jQ for every little thing:
document.getElementById("submitButtonId").disabled = true;
eric, your code did not seem to work for me when the user enters text then deletes all the text. i created another version if anyone experienced the same problem. here ya go folks:
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled','disabled');
$('input[type="text"]').keyup(function(){
if($('input[type="text"]').val() == ""){
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled','disabled');
}
else{
$('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
}
})
It will work like this:
$('input[type="email"]').keyup(function() {
if ($(this).val() != '') {
$(':button[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', false);
} else {
$(':button[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
}
});
Make sure there is an 'disabled' attribute in your HTML
We can simply have if & else .if suppose your input is empty we can have
if($(#name).val() != '') {
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled' , false);
}
else we can change false into true
you can also use something like this :
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled', true);
$('input[type="text"]').on('keyup',function() {
if($(this).val() != '') {
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled' , false);
}else{
$('input[type="submit"]').attr('disabled' , true);
}
});
});
here is Live example
For form login:
<form method="post" action="/login">
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" size="35" maxlength="40" placeholder="Email" />
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" size="15" maxlength="20" placeholder="Password"/>
<input type="submit" id="send" value="Send">
</form>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#send').prop('disabled', true);
$('#email, #password').keyup(function(){
if ($('#password').val() != '' && $('#email').val() != '')
{
$('#send').prop('disabled', false);
}
else
{
$('#send').prop('disabled', true);
}
});
});
Here's the solution for file input field.
To disable a submit button for file field when a file is not chosen, then enable after the user chooses a file to upload:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submitButtonId").attr("disabled", "disabled");
$("#fileFieldId").change(function(){
$("#submitButtonId").removeAttr("disabled");
});
});
Html:
<%= form_tag your_method_path, :multipart => true do %><%= file_field_tag :file, :accept => "text/csv", :id => "fileFieldId" %><%= submit_tag "Upload", :id => "submitButtonId" %><% end %>
If the button is itself a jQuery styled button (with .button()) you will need to refresh the state of the button so that the correct classes are added / removed once you have removed/added the disabled attribute.
$( ".selector" ).button( "refresh" );
The answers above don't address also checking for menu based cut/paste events. Below's the code that I use to do both. Note the action actually happens with a timeout because the cut and past events actually fire before the change happened, so timeout gives a little time for that to happen.
$( ".your-input-item" ).bind('keyup cut paste',function() {
var ctl = $(this);
setTimeout(function() {
$('.your-submit-button').prop( 'disabled', $(ctl).val() == '');
}, 100);
});
Disable: $('input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
Enable: $('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
The above enable code is more accurate than:
$('input[type="submit"]').removeAttr('disabled');
You can use both methods.
Vanilla JS Solution. It works for a whole form not only one input.
In question selected JavaScript tag.
HTML Form:
var form = document.querySelector('form')
var inputs = form.querySelectorAll('input')
var required_inputs = form.querySelectorAll('input[required]')
var register = document.querySelector('input[type="submit"]')
form.addEventListener('keyup', function(e) {
var disabled = false
inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
if (input.value === '' || !input.value.replace(/\s/g, '').length) {
disabled = true
}
})
if (disabled) {
register.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled')
} else {
register.removeAttribute('disabled')
}
})
<form action="/signup">
<div>
<label for="username">User Name</label>
<input type="text" name="username" required/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="r_password">Retype Password</label>
<input type="password" name="r_password" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Signup" disabled="disabled" />
</form>
Some explanation:
In this code we add keyup event on html form and on every keypress check all input fields. If at least one input field we have are empty or contains only space characters then we assign the true value to disabled variable and disable submit button.
If you need to disable submit button until all required input fields are filled in - replace:
inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
with:
required_inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
where required_inputs is already declared array containing only required input fields.
I had to work a bit to make this fit my use case.
I have a form where all fields must have a value before submitting.
Here's what I did:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#form_id button[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
$('#form_id input, #form_id select').keyup(function() {
var disable = false;
$('#form_id input, #form_id select').each(function() {
if($(this).val() == '') { disable = true };
});
$('#form_id button[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', disable);
});
});
Thanks to everyone for their answers here.
Please see the below code to enable or disable Submit button
If Name and City fields has value then only Submit button will be enabled.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
$('#Name').keyup(function() {
ToggleButton();
});
$('#City').keyup(function() {
ToggleButton();
});
});
function ToggleButton() {
if (($('#Name').val() != '') && ($('#City').val() != '')) {
$(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', false);
return true;
} else {
$(':input[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
return false;
}
} </script>
<form method="post">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
<h2>Getting started</h2>

take look at this snippet from my project
$("input[type="submit"]", "#letter-form").on("click",
function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post($("#letter-form").attr('action'), $("#letter-form").serialize(),
function(response) {// your response from form submit
if (response.result === 'Redirect') {
window.location = response.url;
} else {
Message(response.saveChangesResult, response.operation, response.data);
}
});
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled'); //this is what you want
so just disabled the button after your operation executed
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
Al types of solution are supplied. So I want to try for a different solution. Simply it will be more easy if you add a id attribute in your input fields.
<input type="text" name="textField" id="textField"/>
<input type="submit" value="send" id="submitYesNo"/>
Now here is your jQuery
$("#textField").change(function(){
if($("#textField").val()=="")
$("#submitYesNo").prop('disabled', true)
else
$("#submitYesNo").prop('disabled', false)
});
Try
let check = inp=> inp.nextElementSibling.disabled = !inp.value;
<input type="text" name="textField" oninput="check(this)"/>
<input type="submit" value="send" disabled />
I Hope below code will help someone ..!!! :)
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("input[type=submit]").prop('disabled', true);
jQuery("input[name=textField]").focusin(function(){
jQuery("input[type=submit]").prop('disabled', false);
});
jQuery("input[name=textField]").focusout(function(){
var checkvalue = jQuery(this).val();
if(checkvalue!=""){
jQuery("input[type=submit]").prop('disabled', false);
}
else{
jQuery("input[type=submit]").prop('disabled', true);
}
});

Get the input text field value on tool-tip.for me I am using text-box with autocomplete..when ever i selected in autocomplete it will show in text-box. when i hover it i want tool-tip the value in text-box..how to get that one can anyone can help me
<input type="text" value="something" class="curate">
Use the title attribute and pass the value of the input into the it on the keyup event.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#testInput').keyup(function(){
$(this).attr('title',$(this).val())
})
})
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Type Something
<input type="text" title="" value="" id="testInput">
The first, you set the title is the value,
and do the same when you change the value of textbox
function updateTitle(me)
{
me.title=me.value;
}
<input type="text" title="something" value="something" id="one" class="curate" onchange="updateTitle(this)">
I'd suggest:
$('input.curate').on('change', function (){
this.title = this.value;
});
<input type="text" id="one" value="something" class="curate">
<script>
var x=document.getElementById("one");
x.title=x.value;
</script>
You can using on hover to all inputs in you html like that :
$('input[type="text"],input[type="number"],input[type="date"]').hover(function() {
$(this).attr('title', $(this).val()); });
How can I make jQuery script that shows symbol (*) instead of a letter when typing text in input. Value of text input shouldn't change, only the visible text.
Input type password is not an option, because I would like to make that it could be possible to see original text again with a click of a button. Also, password input is autocompleted in Google Chrome and in this situation I don't want it to be autocompleted.
You should use a password field, set autocomplete="false" and toggle between text/password for the field
document.getElementById("fooVisible").addEventListener("change", function() {
if (this.checked) {
return document.getElementById("foo").setAttribute("type", "text");
}
document.getElementById("foo").setAttribute("type", "password");
})
<input type="password" id="foo" autocomplete="false" />
Show: <input type="checkbox" id="fooVisible" />
You could store the value in a variable and replace all characters with the asterisk. This does not handle delete or backspace, but this should get you in the right direction if that's the way you want to go.
$(document).ready(function(){
var textValue = "";
$('.asteriskInput').keypress(function(e){
var textLength = $(this).length;
textValue += e.key;
$(this).val($(this).val().replace(/[A-Za-z]/g,'*'));
});
$('#changeInputView').on('click',function(){
$('.asteriskInput').val(textValue);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input class="asteriskInput" type="text" /><br />
<button id="changeInputView">Show characters</button>
I have an input text field with a placeholder attribute. The placeholder disappears when I enter text, but I would like the the placeholder text to reappear after I click the button, "clear," or when the text field is empty. What are some ways I can achieve this?
Below is the code I have below. I tried
document.text.value = "hello";
but the text "hello" stays in the box when I start typing.
HTML
<input type="text" placeholder="hello">
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick(clearText)>
Javascript
function(clearText) {
document.text.value = " ";
}
When the text field is empty, the placeholder will reappear automatically.
When the clear button is clicked, you can use onclick attribute on the button and define the function like this:
Implementation with pure JS:
<script>
function clearText() {
// we use getElementById method to select the text input and than change its value to an empty string
document.getElementById("my_text").value = "";
}
</script>
<!-- we add an id to the text input so we can select it from clearText method -->
<input id="my_text" type="text" placeholder="hello">
<!-- we use onclick attribute to call the clearText method -->
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick="clearText();">
JSFiddle Demo
Or you can use jQuery:
<script>
function clearText() {
$("#my_text").val("");
}
</script>
<input id="my_text" type="text" placeholder="hello">
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick="clearText();">
JSFiddle Demo
The easiest way to do it:
<input placeholder="hello" onchange="if (this.value == '') {this.placeholder = 'hello';}"
/>
You were very close
HTML :
<input type="text" id='theText' placeholder="hello">
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick='clearText()'>
JavaScript :
clearText = function(){
document.getElementById('theText').value = "";
}
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/trex005/7z957rh2/
There are multiple problems with your javascript syntax, starting from function declarations and ending with onclick event specification.
However, you were on the right way, and code below does the trick:
<input type="text" placeholder="hello">
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick="document.querySelector('input').value=''">
However, it will only work if this is the only input box in your document. To make it work with more than one input, you should assign it an id:
<input type="text" id="text1" placeholder="hello">
<input type="button" value="clear" onclick="document.querySelector('#text1').value=''">
and use "text2" and so on for other fields.
You should not forget to set "return false;"
document.getElementById('chatinput').onkeypress = function(){
var key = window.event.keyCode;
if (key === 13) {
var text = this.value;
var object = document.getElementById('username_interface');
email = object.email;
username = object.username;
empty = /^\s+$/;
// function Send Message
this.value = "";
return false;
}else{
return true;
}}
i want to show button on the form after typing something inside input element in Jsp.
<input type="text" id="phoneNumber" name="Number" maxlength="10" size="15" onfocus="this.value=''" value="Enter your number" autocomplete="off">
<br/><br/>
<span style="color:red" class="title1" id="checkPhone"></span><br/>
<input type="submit" class="sendBtn" id="btSend" name="btSend" value="NextStep" style="display: none">
can you help me?
You can use keyup event of textbox to detect if something is typed in, also check if the textbox has some text to hide button if it is empty
Live Demo
$('input').keyup(function(){
if($.trim(this.value).length > 0)
$('#btSend').show()
else
$('#btSend').hide()
});
You might need to be specific about the inputs instead of doing it with all input elements e.g you can do it with inputs have some class
Does this do what you need?
$('#phoneNumber').change(function() {
$('#btSend').show();
});
var inp = $("#txt").val();
if(jQuery.trim(inp).length > 0)
{
$("#button").show();
}
Hope this works for you
$('#phoneNumber').focusout(function () {
if ($(this).val().length > 0) {
$('#btSend').show();
} else {
$('#btSend').hide();
}
});
