I have a simple js validation function that checks if a checkbox is checked, if it's then the textbox input is enabled for the user, but when the checkbox is not checked it automatically makes the textbox field disabled.
The problem is that when after saving the page in the AJAX with not checked field, causes that the textbox field is again enabled even the checkbox is not checked, when I check it again 2 times then the function works again, but each time the page reloads and save previously selected values the function does not works at is should.
What I am doing wrong? Is there a different way to prevent this behavior?
function enableTextBodField() {
var checkboxField= document.querySelector('.checkbox');
var textBoxField= document.querySelector('.textBoxField');
if (checkboxField.checked == false)
{
textBoxField.disabled = true;
}
else if (checkboxField.checked == true)
{
textBoxField.disabled = false;
}
}
You can store the state of that textbox in browser localStorage and work it out from there.
$(document).ready(function() {
var textboxState = localStorage.getItem("txtboxState"); // Get state from localstorage
var textBoxField= document.querySelector('.textBoxField');
var checkboxField= document.querySelector('.checkbox');
if(textboxState != "" || textboxState != NULL){
if(textboxState = "hidden"){
textBoxField.disabled = true;
checkboxField.checked = false;
}else{
if(textboxState == "visible"){
textBoxField.disabled = false;
checkboxField.checked = true;
}
}
}else{
textBoxField.disabled = false;
checkboxField.checked = false;
}
});
function enableTextBodField() {
var checkboxField= document.querySelector('.checkbox');
var textBoxField= document.querySelector('.textBoxField');
if (checkboxField.checked == false)
{
textBoxField.disabled = true;
localStorage.setItem("txtboxState","hidden"); // Set state in localstorage variable
}
else if (checkboxField.checked == true)
{
textBoxField.disabled = false;
localStorage.setItem("txtboxState","visible"); // Set state in localstorage variable
}
}
I am working on a JSP page which is having multiple radio buttons with ids ans1, ans2, ans3... etc.. No of radio buttons varies depending upon on the response in previous page. User should select answer for all the radio buttons. i.e. user must select response for all the radio buttons ans1, ans2, ans3 ... etc. I have written a Javascript code for submit button click event as below for validation and to make sure user has responded to all the answers:
function beforeSubmit(){
var obj = document.quizcreen;
var qCount = obj.totQuesHidden.value;
for (var i=1; i<=qCount; i++){
if(document.getElementById("ans"+i).checked){
// checked
}else{
alert("Please select ateleast one option"); // unchecked
return false;
}
}
obj.submit();
return true;
}
For some reason above code is not working. The form should not be submitted if all the radio buttons are not selected. Please help, I know it's very simple and common issue, but I am unable to figure it out. Thanks in advance.
Also following is the form action:
<form name="quizcreen" id="quizcreen" method="post" action="QuizResult.jsp" onsubmit = "return beforeSubmit();">
You have a return true statement in your loop. So when the first radiobutton is checked, it will not check the other ones.
function beforeSubmit(){
var obj = document.quizcreen;
var qCount = obj.totQuesHidden.value;
var allChecked = true;
for (var i=1; i<=qCount; i++){
if(! document.getElementById("ans"+i).checked){
allChecked = false;
}
}
if(! allChecked){
alert("Please select ateleast one option"); // unchecked
return false
}
obj.submit();
return true;
}
Ok I found out a better way to handle my scenario, So I am sharing my code for your info:
function beforeSubmit() {
var obj = document.quizcreen;
var allChecked = true;
$("input:radio").each(function() {
var name = $(this).attr("name");
if ($("input:radio[name=" + name + "]:checked").length == 0) {
allChecked = false;
}
});
if (!allChecked) {
alert("Please answer all the questions."); // unchecked
return false;
}
obj.submit();
return true;
}
your problem is at least one to be checked.
do this stuff
function isRadioChecked() {
return ($('input[type=radio]:checked').size() > 0);
}
I have this code to check that one from each group of radio buttons has been selected before the user can submit the form. It works fine in chrome, but in IE it always asks the user to answer all questions, even when they have. How can I change this to work correctly in all browsers?
<script>
function validate(){
if (checkRadio("Radio1") && checkRadio("Radio2") && checkRadio("Radio3")){
return true;
}else{
alert("Please answer all questions!");
return false;
}
}
function checkRadio(name){
var radio = document.forms.myForm[name];
for (var option in radio){
if(radio[option].checked){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
</script>
The issue is in checkRadio() --- you should not use a fast/enhanced for loop with an array.
Calling for (var option in radio) simply returns the name of the radio button group each time (e.g., "Radio1").
You must use the long form for loop:
http://jsfiddle.net/ugZL9/
function checkRadio(name) {
var radio = document.forms.myForm[name];
for (var i = 0; i < radio.length; i++) {
if (radio[i].checked) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
Check box validation checking problem in gridview rows
Hi I was written js function like bellow it will be used to check at least one check box should be checked in side gridview rows , before going to click on submit button this code was working fine In IE but fails to do in Firefox and chrome , can any one tell me where was wrong? .
Hers is the function
function ClientCheck() {
var valid = false;
var gv = document.getElementById("ctl00_cplContent_gvCurrenttarrif");
for (var i = 0; i < gv.all.length; i++) {
var node = gv.all[i];
if (node != null && node.type == "checkbox" && node.checked) {
valid = true;
break;
}
}
if (!valid) {
alert("Invalid. Please select a checkbox to continue with changes.");
}
return valid;
}
Element.all is not standard so you should not use it.
Use childNodes instead.
Change your code like following.
function ClientCheck() {
var valid = false;
var gv = document.getElementById("ctl00_cplContent_gvCurrenttarrif");
for (var i = 0; i < gv.childNodes.length; i++) {
var node = gv.childNodes[i];
if (node != null && node.type == "checkbox" && node.checked) {
valid = true;
break;
}
}
if (!valid) {
alert("Invalid. Please select a checkbox to continue with changes.");
}
return valid;
}
Better you use jQuery or similar library for accessing DOM elements.
e.g. Using jquery
var checkedBoxesCount = $("<%=gvCurrenttarrif.ClientID%>").find("input:checkbox:checked").length;
if(checkedBoxesCount==0) alert("NO CHECKBOX SELECTED");
Highlighting the comment ramakrishna-p as answer:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1932293.aspx?Check+box+validation+checking+problem+in+gridview+rows+
Working code is :
function ClientCheck() {
var valid = false;
var gv = document.getElementById("ctl00_cplContent_gvCurrenttarrif");
for (var i = 0; i < gv.getElementsByTagName("input").length; i++) {
var node = gv.getElementsByTagName("input")[i];
if (node != null && node.type == "checkbox" && node.checked) {
valid = true;
break;
}
}
if (!valid) {
alert("Invalid. Please select a checkbox to continue with changes.");
}
return valid;
}
I'm currently working on a Bookmarklet for Maximo, which is a Java EE application, and I need to populate a few input boxes.
Generally when a use inputs data into the box they click a button that gives them a popup and they search for the value to be added to the script. Or they can type the name and hit tab/enter and it turns it to capital letters and does a few things in the background (not sure what it does exactly).
I currently use
Javascript: $('mx1354').value = "KHBRARR"; $('mx1354').ov= "KHBRARR";
But it does not work like I need it to. It set's the input box to the value needed, but it doesn't run the background functions so when I hit the save button it doesn't recognize it as any changes and discards what I put into the box.
How could I simulate a tab/enter button has been pressed?
So far I've tried to call the onchange, focus/blur, and click functions (Not 100% sure if I called them correctly).
The dojo library is part of the application, so I'm not sure if I can use one if it's feature or if jQuery would cause a conflict.
P.S. This needs to run in IE.
The OnChange Function:
function tb_(event)

After some time I found that in order to make a change to the page via JavaScript you need to submit a hidden form so it can verify on the back-end.
Here is the code I used to change the value of Input fields.
cc : function(e,v){
e.focus(); //Get focus of the element
e.value = v; //Change the value
e.onchange(); //Call the onchange event
e.blur(); //Unfocus the element
console.log("TITLE === "+e.title);
if(e.title.indexOf(v) != -1) {
return true; //The value partially matches the requested value. No need to update
} else {
//Generate an hidden form and submit it to update the page with the new value
var hiddenForm = getHiddenForm();
var inputs = hiddenForm.elements;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentid").value = e.id;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentvalue").value = v;
inputs.namedItem("event").value = "X"; //Send a Dummy Event so the script see's its invalid and sets the right Event
submitHidden();
}
//Value isn't set to the required value so pass false
return false;
}
run this
input_changed(null,document.getElementById('IDHERE'));
In maximo 7.5 i built a custom lookup
when i click the colored hyperlink java script is called to update the values back to parent form values or updated but on save the value or not updated
function riskmatrix_setvalue(callerId, lookupId, value,bgrColor,targetid){
if (document.getElementById(callerId).readOnly){
sendEvent('selectrecord', lookupId);
return;
}
textBoxCaller = document.getElementById(callerId);
//dojo.byId(callerId).setAttribute("value", value);
//dojo.byId(callerId).setAttribute("changed", true);
//dojohelper.input_changed_value(dojo.byId(callerId),value);
//textBoxCaller.style.background = bgrColor;
//var hiddenForm = getHiddenForm();
//if(!hiddenForm)
// return;
//var inputs = hiddenForm.elements;
//inputs.namedItem("event").value = "setvalue";
//inputs.namedItem("targetid").value = dojo.byId(callerId).id;
//inputs.namedItem("value").value = value;
//sendXHRFromHiddenForm();
textBoxCaller.focus(); //Get focus of the element
textBoxCaller.value = value; //Change the value
textBoxCaller.onchange(); //Call the onchange event
textBoxCaller.blur(); //Unfocus the element
//Generate an hidden form and submit it to update the page with the new value
var hiddenForm = getHiddenForm();
var inputs = hiddenForm.elements;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentid").value = textBoxCaller.id;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentvalue").value = value;
inputs.namedItem("event").value = "X"; //Send a Dummy Event so the script see's its invalid and sets the right Event
submitHidden();
sendEvent("dialogclose",lookupId);
}
Description
I changed a bit #Steven10172's perfect solution and made it into a Javascript re-usable function.
Made this into a separate answer since my edits to the original answer where i added this were refused :)
I also had to change the line e.onchange() to e.onchange(e) because otherwise the textbox handler (tb_(eventOrComponent) function) would throw TypeError: textbox.getAttribute is not a function.
Code
var setFakeValue = function(e,v){
console.log("Changing value for element:", e, "\nNew value:", v);
e.focus(); //Get focus of the element
e.value = v; //Change the value
e.onchange(e); //Call the onchange event
e.blur(); //Unfocus the element
if(e.title.indexOf(v) != -1) {
return true; //The value partially matches the requested value. No need to update
}
else {
//Generate an hidden form and submit it to update the page with the new value
var hiddenForm = getHiddenForm();
var inputs = hiddenForm.elements;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentid").value = e.id;
inputs.namedItem("changedcomponentvalue").value = v;
inputs.namedItem("event").value = "X"; //Send a Dummy Event so the script see's its invalid and sets the right Event
submitHidden();
}
//Value isn't set to the required value so pass false
return false;
}
Usage
setFakeValue(html_element, new_value);
Fun fact
I spent a lot of time searching for a solution to programmatically change an <input> value in Maximo... At some point i got really frustrated, gave up and started to think it just wasn't possible...
Some time ago i tried to search with no expectations at all and after some time i found the solution... Here...
Now... As you can see this is literally just a total copy of StackOverflow, including questions and solutions (marking the upvotes with plain text lol), but in Chinese... This got me curious and after a little search i found this post on StackOverflow..
