<script>
function no_email_confirm() {
if (document.getElementsByName("no_email")[0].checked == false) {
return true;
} else {
var box= confirm("Sure?");
if (box==true)
return true;
else
document.getElementsByName("no_email")[0].checked == false;
}
}
</script>
And here is my HTML for the checkbox:
<input type="checkbox" id="no_email" name="no_email" onchange="no_email_confirm()"></input>
For some reason, this gives me the confirm pop up the first time I check the box, but not for any click after that. Also, even if I click "Cancel" it still checks the check box. I've searched on here and for some reason, no matter what I try, I can't get it to work properly.
It should confirm if they really want to check the box, if they select "Yes" then it checks it, if not, then it doesn't check it. I can get it to work without the name no_email, but I can't change that..
Anyone have any ideas?
Looks like you've got several errors in there, most notably using == when you probably meant =. Instead, add an event listener and make sure the assignment works:
var box = document.querySelector('#no_email');
box.addEventListener('change', function no_email_confirm() {
if (this.checked == false) {
return true;
} else {
var confirmation= confirm("This means that the VENDOR will NOT RECEIVE ANY communication!!!!");
if (confirmation)
return true;
else
box.checked = false;
}
});

I'm trying to display a warning message when a user types certain text into an input box. The problem is I only want to return false one time so the user can submit the form on the second click even if they don't change the text. I've tried adding a counter but jquery is not remembering the count on a second sumbit click. What is the best way to go about this?
if (email.val().indexOf("gmail") > -1))
{
$('input[name=email]').css('border-color','red');
$("#submit").after('<p>Error - Do you want to use a gmail account?</p>');
return false;
}
I would use a flag to determine if they have already tried to submit, and if they haven't, then you give them the warning and return false:
var triedSubmit = false;
$(/* Your jQuery Object */).click(function() {
if (email.val().indexOf("gmail") > -1))
{
if (!triedSubmit){
$('input[name=email]').css('border-color','red');
$("#submit").after('<p>Error - Do you want to use a gmail account?</p>');
triedSubmit = true;
return false;
}
}
}
Just set up some kind of flag
var flags = {}; // in some higher scope
// then later, in your verification function
if (email.val().indexOf("gmail") > -1 && !flags.warnedGmail) {
$('input[name=email]').css('border-color','red');
$("#submit").after('<p>Error - Do you want to use a gmail account?</p>');
flags.warnedGmail = true;
return false;
}
Why don't you put a class on your text box and remove it in the first failure? Thus when you look for it with jQuery a second time you won't be able to find it it and won't be able to apply the rule. I implmented it like so:
var submit = function()
{
var email = $('.emailFirstTry')
if (email.length > 0 && email.val().indexOf("gmail") > -1)
{
$('input[name=email]').css('border-color','red');
$("#submit").text('Error - Do you want to use a gmail account');
$('.emailFirstTry').removeClass('emailFirstTry');
return false;
}
$('input[name=email]').css('border-color','none');
$("#submit").text('Success!');
return true;
};

Hope the helps :)
Ok, so I'm currently having an issue with the $.prop('checked') functionality. When unchecking some of my boxes, and using this function to read the checkboxes, all of them are still showing up as true when some of them should be showing up as unchecked. The part of the function that checks this is below, but some background: I'm using a table with input values in each td element and due to the way it's written, I'm having to gather all the info / validate / and check by using a td.each() function.
$("td", ele).each(function(idx){
var before = $('.e_content', this),
b_name = $('input:last[type!="hidden"], textarea:last, checkbox:last, select:last', this).attr('name'),
b_val = $('input[name="'+b_name+'"], select:last, textarea[name="'+b_name+'"]', this).val(),
b_chx = $('input:checkbox[name="'+b_name+'"]', this).prop('checked'),
after = function(){
before.hide();
$(ele).css("background", color);
$('td.edit', ele).show();
$('td.save', ele).hide();
$('span', this)
// WORKING ON TAKING THE VALUE OF THE .e_content FORM AND REPLACING THE SPAN WITH IT
.html(function(){
console.log(b_name+' : '+b_chx);
if(b_val != undefined && b_val != ''){
if(b_name == 'StageType'){
if(b_val == 1){ return 'Voice'; }
if(b_val == 2){ return 'Text'; }
if(b_val == 3){ return 'Email'; }
}
else if(b_name == 'qtrhour') {
return $('select', before).find(':selected').text();
}
else if(b_chx == true) { return '✓'; }
else if(b_chx == false) { return '✗'; }
else {
if(before.find('input:last').prop('type') != 'checkbox')
return b_val.replace(/\n\r?/g, '<br />');
}
}
})
.show();
};
$(this).html(after);
});
The problem is with this line:
b_chx = $('input:checkbox[name="'+b_name+'"]', this).prop('checked'),
It's coming up always as true even when the checkbox has been unchecked before the save button is hit. This function fires on the .save click event. Hopefully this is enough to determine what might be going wrong.
You can try the following,
$('input:checkbox[name="'+b_name+'"]', this).is(':checked');
To avoid issues regarding to checking or unchecking checkboxes, I normally use jQuery.attr()
$(...).attr('checked')
$(...).attr('checked','checked')
$(...).removeAttr('checked')
Also sometimes I check or uncheck them binding or triggering a .click() function.
I am trying to prevent a radio button not to be checked if a false is returned from the onclick.
Following is the jsbin link for the code I am using.
http://jsbin.com/oruliz/2/
Is there anything I am missing; BTW, I am trying to use JS with no framework.
However, if pure js has this issue is there a workaround for prototyoe.js ?
Try this
function propertyDamageType_click(elem) {
if(yourconditionfails){ // or if(yourconditionfails && !elem.checked)
elem.checked = false;
alert('Please select an incident type');
}
}
Demo
You should user return propertyDamageType_click() .
See the http://jsbin.com/uvopek/1/edit
You can use a flag and return false whenever the pre codition is not met....
var IsIncidenntTypeSelected = 0; // flag - sets to 1 when pre condition is met
$("input[type='radio']").click(function()
{
if(IsIncidenntTypeSelected == 0)
return false;
}
So, I have some faux checkboxes (so I could style them) that work with jQuery to act as checked or not checked. There are a number of faux checkboxes in my document, and for each one I have a click function:
var productInterest = [];
productInterest[0] = false;
productInterest[1] = false;
productInterest[2] = false;
// here is one function of the three:
$('#productOne').click(function() {
if (productInterest[0] == false) {
$(this).addClass("checkboxChecked");
productInterest[0] = true;
} else {
$(this).removeClass("checkboxChecked");
productInterest[0] = false;
}
});
The problem seems to be that there is an error in the if statement, because it will check, but not uncheck. In other words it will add the class, but the variable won't change so it still thinks its checked. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for your help.
UPDATE: So, I need to show you all my code because it works in the way I supplied it (thanks commenters for helping me realize that)... just not in the way its actually being used on my site. so below please find the code in its entirety.
Everything needs to happen in one function, because the UI and data for each checkbox need to be updated at once. So here is the complete function:
$('input[name=silkInterest]').click(function() { // they all have the same name
var silkInterest = [];
silkInterest[0] = false;
silkInterest[1] = false;
silkInterest[2] = false;
if ($(this).is('#silkSilk')) { // function stops working because the .is()
if (silkInterest[0] == false) {
$(this).addClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[0] = true;
} else {
$(this).removeClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[0] = false;
}
alert(silkInterest[0]);
}
if ($(this).is('#silkAlmond')) {
if (silkInterest[1] == false) {
$(this).addClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[1] = true;
} else {
$(this).removeClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[1] = false;
}
}
if ($(this).is('#silkCoconut')) {
if (silkInterest[2] == false) {
$(this).addClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[2] = true;
} else {
$(this).removeClass("checkboxChecked");
silkInterest[2] = false;
}
}
var silkInterestString = silkInterest.toString();
$('input[name=silkInterestAnswer]').val(silkInterestString);
// This last bit puts the code into a hidden field so I can capture it with php.
});
I can't spot the problem in your code, but you can simply use the class you're adding in place of the productInterest array. This lets you condense the code down to a single:
// Condense productOne, productTwo, etc...
$('[id^="product"]').click(function() {
// Condense addClass, removeClass
$(this).toggleClass('checkboxChecked');
});
And to check if one of them is checked:
if ($('#productOne').hasClass('checkboxChecked')) {...}
This'll make sure the UI is always synced to the "data", so if there's other code that's interfering you'll be able to spot it.
Okay, just had a palm to forehead moment. In regards to my revised code- the variables get reset everytime I click. That was the problem. Duh.
I have added some javascript in html page for input validation.same page is working correct in IE and chrome but in mozila its not working.The problem is when user inputs invalid data its supposed to show alert msg box and when user clicks OK it should return false to form...BUT mozila is not waiting for alert box it just shows alert box for 5-6 sec and then goes to next page defined in form action="nextpage.php"
function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(oldpassword, "<b>Error: </b>Please enter the Old Password!") == false)
{ changeColor("oldpassword"); return false; }
else if (valid_length(newpassword, "<b>Error: </b>Please enter the New Password!!") == false)
{newpassword.value=""; changeColor("newpassword"); return false; }
else if (valid_length(cnfpassword, "<b>Error: </b>Please enter the Confirm Password!!") == false)
{cnfpassword.value=""; changeColor("cnfpassword"); return false; }
else if (document.getElementById('newpassword').value != document.getElementById('cnfpassword').value)
{changeColor("newpassword");cool.error("<b>Error: </b>Passwords entered are not same!");
newpassword.value="";cnfpassword.value="";return false;}
}
}function validate_required(field, alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value == null || value == "")
{
cool.error(alerttxt);return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
}
cool.error is nothing but CSS nd Js for alert box.I thing there is not any problem in my code weather problem is in some browser settings.Is it so??? because it is working fine in IE and Chrome.
You're using a non-standard IE-only behavior that creates global variables for every element with an ID.
To fix it, add a global variable for each element that you use:
var oldpassword = document.getElementById("oldpassword");
Also, you should never use Javascript's with block.
It is very different from VB's with block, and should not be used unless you truly understand its pitfalls and shortcomings. It will also slow down your code.
You could also use some javascript library to get past browser issues. I'm rooting for jQuery.
