Highlight input text not working

Hello I would like the text inside an input element to highlight upon initial click. However my function does not seem to be working. I have researched the issue and seen that there are some issues with jquery 1.7 and below. I have adjusted it to account for this any it still does not work.
Any help would be great. Thanks!
HTML
<input type="text" value="hello"/>
JS
$scope.highlightText = function() {
$("input[type='text']").on("click", function() {
$(this).select();
});

You need to actually call your method at the end of controller, otherwise the event is not bound.

... other code ...
$scope.highlightText = function () {
$("input[type='text']").on("click", function () {
$(this).select();
var test = $(this).parent();
console.log(test);
});
$("textarea").on("click", function () {
$(this).select();
});
};
$scope.highlightText();
};

To select the text inside an input you would simply call this.select() from onclick like shown below
<input type="text" onclick="this.select()" value="hello"/>

Run AJAX script

I have the ajax, which runs when the user writes something ind input id=2
HTML:
<input id="2" type="text" onkeyup="posttitulo(this.value)" />
SCRIPT:
function posttitulo(value){
$.post("getdata/posttitulo.php",{partialStates:value});
}
The code works perfectly.. The problem is that I have the javascript function which onclick copies value of another input id=1, in this case id=2 has the value without typing and function posttitulo(value) doesn't work..
So I need Ajax to be executed if:
1) User writes something onkeyup="posttitulo(this.value);
2) the value of id=1 is copied to id=2..
Hope that I explained the problem..
Thanks in advance

Do $('#2').keyup(); after you copied a value in the function, which fires onclick.

create an event listener change() on id=2:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#2").change(function(){
var value=$("#2").val();
$.post("getdata/posttitulo.php",{partialStates:value});
});
});

You could go with firing the event on the input or recycle the function you already declared. When the button is clicked read the value of the id2 Element and call the posttitulo function with the value as argument.
function posttitulo(value){
console.log('AJAX POST:', value);
}
function buttonClicked() {
var value = document.getElementById('id2').value;
posttitulo(value);
}
Fiddle

May be this will work in your case.
<input id="1" type="text" onclick="yourreplacefunction(this.value,2)" />
$(document).on("change keyup", "input", function() {
$.post("getdata/posttitulo.php",{partialStates:value},function(response){
//Do with your response
});
});
function yourreplacefunction(value,toid) {
$('#'+toid).val(value);
}

jQuery button takes value from input and do an action - how does it works?

I've got a small piece of code here
<label for="pass">Password</label>
<input type="text" id="pass" value="QWERTY">
<button for="pass">Submit!</button>
and jquery action
$("button").click(function(){
var value=$("input[id=pass]").attr("value");
if (value==="QWERTY"){
alert("Good!");
};
and it doesnt work. Do you know how to fix it?

Try this.
$("button").click(function(){
var value=$("input#pass").val();
if ( value === "QWERTY"){
alert("Good!");
}
});
jQuery has it's own built in function for fetching values from input fields.

You should prevent the default action from triggering when the button is clicked (otherwise the form will be submitted, and the JS will not execute). You should also use val() when accessing an input's value.
You should also wrap your code inside the DOMReady handler, to ensure that the DOM is accessible when your script is run.
Here's an updated version of your code:
$(function() {
$("button").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var the_value = $("#pass").val();
if(value == "QWERTY")
{
alert("Good!");
}
};
});

Try this : It's more optimized...
$("button").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var value=$("#pass")[0].value;
if (value==="QWERTY"){
alert("Good!");
};
You can also remove the "for" attribute on the button, it's non correct ;)

Your code should work if you don't forget the }); at last and have put the code into dom ready callback function. The demo.
And you could write it like below:
$("button").click(function(){
if ($('#pass').val()==="QWERTY"){
alert("Good!");
};
});

I think you just have a syntax error. You need to make sure you close your function curly brace and your click close paren.
$("document").ready(function () {
$("button").click(function () {
var value = $("input[id=pass]").attr("value");
if (value === "QWERTY") {
alert("Good!");
}
});
});

How to select value of input onClick?

I have a <input type="text"> and if user clicks inside it I want to make the content (value) of that box selected. How would I do that?

<input type="text" onclick="select()"/>

Try select method:
document.getElementById("myinput").onclick = function() {
this.select();
};

You can try following code inside a javaScript method, and call the method onClick event of the textbox...
function calledOnClick(){
document.getElementById('test').select();
}

You can try following jQuery code which automatically call on page load
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input').each(function(){
$(this).click(function() {
this.select();
});
});
$("#return_date").focus();
});
</script>

Change label text using JavaScript

Why doesn't the following work for me?
<script>
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'Your tip has been submitted!';
</script>
<label id="lbltipAddedComment"></label>

Because your script runs BEFORE the label exists on the page (in the DOM). Either put the script after the label, or wait until the document has fully loaded (use an OnLoad function, such as the jQuery ready() or http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/onloads/)
This won't work:
<script>
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
</script>
<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>
This will work:
<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>
<script>
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
</script>
This example (jsfiddle link) maintains the order (script first, then label) and uses an onLoad:
<label id="lbltipAddedComment">test</label>
<script>
function addLoadEvent(func) {
var oldonload = window.onload;
if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
window.onload = func;
} else {
window.onload = function() {
if (oldonload) {
oldonload();
}
func();
}
}
}
addLoadEvent(function() {
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
});
</script>

Have you tried .innerText or .value instead of .innerHTML?

Because a label element is not loaded when a script is executed. Swap the label and script elements, and it will work:
<label id="lbltipAddedComment"></label>
<script>
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerHTML = 'Your tip has been submitted!';
</script>

Use .textContent instead.
I was struggling with changing the value of a label as well, until I tried this.
If this doesn't solve try inspecting the object to see what properties you can set by logging it to the console with console.dir as shown on this question: How can I log an HTML element as a JavaScript object?

Here is another way to change the text of a label using jQuery:
<script>
$("#lbltipAddedComment").text("your tip has been submitted!");
</script>
Check the JsFiddle example

Using .innerText should work.
document.getElementById('lbltipAddedComment').innerText = 'your tip has been submitted!';

Try this:
<label id="lbltipAddedComment"></label>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('<%= lbltipAddedComment.ClientID %>').innerHTML = 'your tip has been submitted!';
</script>

Because the script will get executed first.. When the script will get executed, at that time controls are not getting loaded. So after loading controls you write a script.
It will work.
