I want to copy the input value when I click the div, but I can't get it to work. Here is my code:
function handleClick() {
input.select();
document.execCommand("copy");
}
#input {
display: none
}
<div click="handleClick()">
<input type="text" value="test" id="input">
</div>
When I remove the css style of display: none, it works.
Why can't I hide the input element? I just want to use input's .select(), but don't want input show in my page, how can I do this?
You can use opacity... instead of visibility (but the element will be there ocupping space...)
or you can use position: absolute + top: -100px for example.
function handleClick() {
var input = document.getElementById("input");
//var input = document.getElementById("input2"); //Use this class to test with other possibility
input.focus();
input.select();
var copy = document.execCommand("copy");
console.log("copied");
}
#input {
opacity: 0
}
/* Use this class to test with other possibility */
#input2{
position: absolute;
top: -100px;
}
#clicker{
width: 250px;
height: 75px;
border: 1px solid;
}
<div id='clicker' onclick="handleClick()">
<input type="text" value="test" id="input">
</div>
<br>
<input placeholder="Click DIV then PASTE here..."/>
Correct me if i'm wrong. your goal is to hide the input tag right?
Then why not use this?
<input type="hidden" id="custId" name="custId" value="3487">
then change the div to
<div onclick="handleClick()">
My requirement is that..I have a box. inside box I have a form..What I want is that..When I click the submit button ,inside the box the form will gone and a message will display.
Just like this:
I have the jefiddle :
jsfiddle
here ,When I click to the submit button,message is appearing on the top and the box1 is going down..
I'd much prefer using jQuery to do this, but here's the updated fiddle using only javascript, and keeping changes minimal.
<div id="box">
<div class="box2">
<h1 id="welcomeDiv" style="display:none;" class="answer_list" >welcome</h1>
<h1 id="details">Details</h1>
<form id="foo-form" method="POST" onsubmit="return showDiv();">
<input type="text" name="user" placeholder="Your name"/>
<input type="submit" name="create" class="enter submit" value="Enter"/>
</form>
</div>
</div>
... and the script ...
function showDiv() {
document.getElementById('welcomeDiv').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('details').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('foo-form').style.display = "none";
return false;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/0qyj62dv/7/
The form elements are now being hidden, the original details message is being hidden, and the welcome text is within the box now, not external to it. Oh, and I moved the function call to onsubmit of the form, so it returns false now and doesn't actually try to submit the form on jsfiddle.
Hth
Please try this
HTML: (Change type= submit to type=button)
<input type="button" name="create" class="enter submit" value="Enter" onclick="showDiv()" >
CSS: (Change type= submit to type=button)
.box2 input[type=button] {
width: 100%;
display: block;
margin-bottom: 10px;
position: relative;
}
.answer_list{
margin: 0px auto;
position: relative;
background:pink;
height:300px;
width:400px;
display: block;
border: dotted;
border-width: 1px;
text-align:center;
}
DEMO
Create a class with same styling as that of #box.
Let's say answer_box
.answer_box {
margin: 0px auto;
position: relative;
background: pink;
height: 300px;
width: 400px;
display: block;
border: dotted;
border-width: 1px;
}
Add answer_box class to welcome container.
<div id="welcomeDiv" style="display:none;" class="answer_box" ><h1> WELCOME<h1></div>
To align it from top, give little margin to <h1> inside welcome div.
You need to hide the box container when submit is clicked.
function showDiv() {
document.getElementById('box').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('welcomeDiv').style.display = "block";
}
look at this example,
http://jsfiddle.net/0qyj62dv/8/
all you need to do is this
submit form using ajax.
Add the welcome tab and form tab inside same parent div
toggle tabs as you want using style.display property
<button type="button" name="create" class="enter submit" onclick="submitForm()">Enter</button>
function submitForm(){
document.getElementById('tab2').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('tab1').style.display = "none";
$.ajax({
method: 'POST',
url : '',
data : $('#myForm').serialize(),
success : function(data){
console.log('success',data);
alert('success');
}
});
}
you may call this using jquery
I have a html/JavaScript project that i am working on and i am encountering problems.
I am making a sign-up form for an email newsletter and i have it in a div element in the middle of a page like so:
(i know, its structure is really messed up but i am just playing around right now.)
<div id="overlay"><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><center><div id="nothin" class="form">Sign Up For Our Newsletter<br><br>
<table><TD width="50%" valign="middle"><img class="round"src="picture1.jpg" height="150" width="250"></td><td width="5%"></td><td width="40%" valign="middle"><form>
<input type="text" class="round"required id="name" width="190"><br><br>
<input type="email" class="round"required id="email" width="190"><br><br>
<input id="submit"type="submit" class="button"value="Submit Your Email" onclick="success()"><br>
</form></td></table></div></center></div>
The problem i have is i made the script below so when you submit you get a success message and a button that should close down the div, leaving the webpage:
<script>
function success()
{
document.getElementById("nothin").innerHTML="<div id='form2'>Success!<br><br>Thank You!<br> You have successfully signed up for the Our newsletter!<br><button onclick='hide()' class='button'>Continue</button></div>";
}
</script>
When you click on the button "continue" it should run the function "hide()":
<script>
function hide()
{
document.getElementById("overlay").innerHTML="";
}
</script>
My problem is that when the "continue" button is clicked, it only closes <div id="nothin>
not "overlay" like it should. Do you have any idea why? Should i use some other method to close it?
Here is the CSS for the form, it wont work that well without it:
<style>
#overlay {
z-index: 16777271;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,.8);
}
.form, .form2{
background-color:white;
color:black;
width:500;
height:250;
align:center;
border-radius: 40px;
border:dashed darkgreen;
}
.round{
border-radius:8px;
}
.button{
background-color:green;
border-color:green;
border-radius:45px;
height: 40px;
width:190px;
}
.BUTTON:HOVER{
background-color:darkgreen;
border-color:darkgreen;
border-radius:45px;
}
</style>
In the hide() function you are making the contents of "#overlay" element empty while element itself, remains.
One solution can be hiding the element.
This should work -
function hide(){
document.getElementById("overlay").style.visibility = 'hidden';
/*
//or setting the display to none
document.getElementById("overlay").style.display = 'none';
*/
}
Suppose you have a html code like
<div id ='parentWow'>
<div id='ChildHello'>
Some Content
<div>
</div>
If you want to remove the child of id "ChildHello" from the parent, instead of just making their visibility "hidden", you can use the following javascript
document.getElementById("ChildHello").parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById("ChildHello"))
This helps... (y)
Can anyone please let me how to Enlarge textarea while using OnClick function or how to increase the rows on onClick?
regards
balkar
If you can set pixel or column sizes (instead of using the rows and cols attributes), you can use the :focus CSS pseudo-class:
HTML:
<textarea id="myarea"></textarea>
CSS:
textarea#myarea { width: 100px; height: 20px; }
textarea#myarea:focus { width: 500px; height: 200px; }
depending on the layout, it's sometimes attractive to give the focused textarea position: absolute so it floats above the other elements in its enlarged state.
If you wanna use onClick, add an onClick Handler via JavaScript:
<html>
<body onLoad="load();">
<textarea id="t1">foo</textarea>
<script>
function load(){
document.getElementById("t1").addEventListener("click",function(){
this.setAttribute("rows","50");
},false);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Is there a way to style (or script) <input type=file /> element to have visible only "Browse" button without text field?
Thanks
Edit:
Just to clarify why to I need this. I'm using multi file upload code from http://www.morningz.com/?p=5 and it doesn't need input text field because it never has value. Script just adds newly selected file to collection on page. It would look much better without text field, if it's possible.
<input type="file" id="selectedFile" style="display: none;" />
<input type="button" value="Browse..." onclick="document.getElementById('selectedFile').click();" />
This will surely work as I have used it in my projects.
I was having a heck of a time trying to accomplish this. I didn't want to use a Flash solution, and none of the jQuery libraries I looked at were reliable across all browsers.
I came up with my own solution, which is implemented completely in CSS (except for the onclick style change to make the button appear 'clicked').
You can try a working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/VQJ9V/307/ (Tested in FF 7, IE 9, Safari 5, Opera 11 and Chrome 14)
It works by creating a big file input (with font-size:50px), then wrapping it in a div that has a fixed size and overflow:hidden. The input is then only visible through this "window" div. The div can be given a background image or color, text can be added, and the input can be made transparent to reveal the div background:
HTML:
<div class="inputWrapper">
<input class="fileInput" type="file" name="file1"/>
</div>
CSS:
.inputWrapper {
height: 32px;
width: 64px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
/*Using a background color, but you can use a background image to represent a button*/
background-color: #DDF;
}
.fileInput {
cursor: pointer;
height: 100%;
position:absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 99;
/*This makes the button huge. If you want a bigger button, increase the font size*/
font-size:50px;
/*Opacity settings for all browsers*/
opacity: 0;
-moz-opacity: 0;
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=0)
}
Let me know if there are any problems with it and I'll try to fix them.
I wasted my day today getting this to work. I found none of the solutions here working each of my scenarios.
Then I remembered I saw an example for the JQuery File Upload without text box. So what I did is that I took their example and stripped it down to the relevant part.
This solution at least works for IE and FF and can be fully styled. In the below example the file input is hidden under the fancy "Add Files" button.
<html>
<head>
<title>jQuery File Upload Example</title>
<style type="text/css">
.myfileupload-buttonbar input
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
margin: 0;
border: solid transparent;
border-width: 0 0 100px 200px;
opacity: 0.0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
-o-transform: translate(250px, -50px) scale(1);
-moz-transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4);
direction: ltr;
cursor: pointer;
}
.myui-button
{
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
text-align: center;
overflow: visible;
background-color: red;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="fileupload" >
<div class="myfileupload-buttonbar ">
<label class="myui-button">
<span >Add Files</span>
<input id="file" type="file" name="files[]" />
</label>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Add a label tag with for attribute assign the for attribute value to the file input button.
Now when you click the label, the browser will open up the file browse dialogue popup automatically.
Note: Hide the file input button using CSS.
Check the live demo below.
$('#imageUpload').change(function() {
readImgUrlAndPreview(this);
function readImgUrlAndPreview(input) {
if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
$('#imagePreview').removeClass('hide').attr('src', e.target.result);
}
};
reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
}
});
.hide {
display: none;
}
.btn {
display: inline-block;
padding: 4px 12px;
margin-bottom: 0;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 20px;
color: #333333;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
cursor: pointer;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 10px #eee;
border-radius: 4px;
}
.btn-large {
padding: 11px 19px;
font-size: 17.5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#imagePreview {
margin: 15px 0 0 0;
border: 2px solid #ddd;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div clas="file_input_wrap">
<input type="file" name="imageUpload" id="imageUpload" class="hide" />
<label for="imageUpload" class="btn btn-large">Select file</label>
</div>
<div class="img_preview_wrap">
<img src="" id="imagePreview" alt="Preview Image" width="200px" class="hide" />
</div>
Hide the input-file element and create a visible button that will trigger the click event of that input-file.
Try this:
CSS
#file { width:0; height:0; }
HTML:
<input type='file' id='file' name='file' />
<button id='btn-upload'>Upload</button>
JAVASCRIPT(jQuery):
$(function(){
$('#btn-upload').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#file').click();}
);
});
I tried to implement the top two solutions, and it ended up being a HUGE waste of time for me. In the end, applying this .css class solved the problem...
input[type='file'] {
color: transparent;
}
Done! super clean and super simple...
That's going to be very hard. The problem with the file input type is that it usually consists of two visual elements, while being treated as a single DOM-element. Add to that that several browsers have their own distinct look and feel for the file input, and you're set for nightmare. See this article on quirksmode.org about the quirks the file input has. I guarantee you it won't make you happy (I speak from experience).
[EDIT]
Actually, I think you might get away with putting your input in a container element (like a div), and adding a negative margin to the element. Effectively hiding the textbox part off screen.
Another option would be to use the technique in the article I linked, to try to style it like a button.
Fix to work in all browsers
RESOLVED:
<input type = "button" value = "Choose image"
onclick ="javascript:document.getElementById('imagefile').click();">
<input id = "imagefile" type="file" style='visibility: hidden;' name="img"/>
I have tested in FF, Chrome & IE - working fine, applied styles too :D
Here is my good ol' remedy:
<input type="file" id="myFile" style="display:none;" />
<button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('myFile').click();">Browse</button>
At least it worked in Safari.
Plain and simple.
Another easy way of doing this. Make a "input type file" tag in html and hide it. Then click a button and format it according to need. After this use javascript/jquery to programmatically click the input tag when the button is clicked.
HTML :-
<input id="file" type="file" style="display: none;">
<button id="button">Add file</button>
JavaScript :-
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener("click", function() {
document.getElementById('file').click();
});
jQuery :-
$('#button').click(function(){
$('#file').click();
});
CSS :-
#button
{
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
Here is a working JS fiddle for the same :- http://jsfiddle.net/32na3/
I used some of the code recommended above and after many hours of waisting my time, I eventually came to a css bag free solution.
You can run it over here - http://jsfiddle.net/WqGph/
but then found a better solution - http://jsfiddle.net/XMMc4/5/
<input type = "button" value = "Choose image #2"
onclick ="javascript:document.getElementById('imagefile').click();">
<input id = "imagefile" type="file" style='display:none;' name="img" value="none"/>see jsfiddle code for examples<br/>
You could label an image so when you click on it the click event of the button will be triggered. You can simply make the normal button invisible:
<form>
<label for="fileButton"><img src="YourSource"></label> <!--You don't have to put an image here, it can be anything you like-->
<input type="file" id="fileButton" style="display:none;"/>
</form>
It worked for me on all browsers, and is very easy to use.
You can dispatch the click event on a hidden file input like this:
<form action="#type your action here" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="yourBtn" style="height: 50px; width: 100px;border: 1px dashed #BBB; cursor:pointer;" >Click to upload!</div>
<!-- hide input[type=file]!-->
<div style='height: 0px;width:0px; overflow:hidden;'><input id="upfile" type="file" value="upload"/></div>
<input type="submit" value='submit' >
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var btn = document.getElementById("yourBtn");
var upfile = document.getElementById("upfile");
btn.addEventListener('click',function(){
if(document.createEvent){
var ev = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
ev.initEvent('click',true,false);
upfile.dispatchEvent(ev);
}else{
upfile.click();
}
});
</script>
HTML:
<input type="file" name="upload" id="upload" style="display:none"></input>
<button id="browse">Upload</button>
JQUERY
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#browse").click(function(){
$("#upload").click();
});
});
Hope this works :)
This HTML code show up only Upload File button
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input type="button" id="id" value="Upload File" onclick="document.getElementById('file').click();" />
<input type="file" style="display:none;" id="file" name="file" onchange="this.form.submit()"/>
</form>
You can give the input element a font opacity of 0. This will hide the text field without hiding the 'Choose Files' button.
No javascript required, clear cross browser as far back as IE 9
E.g.,
input {color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);}
Ive a really hacky solution with this...
<style type="text/css">
input[type="file"]
{
width: 80px;
}
</style>
<input id="File1" type="file" />
The problem is the width attribute that is hiding the text field will obvously vary between browsers, vary between Windows XP themes and so on. Maybe its something you can work with though?...
I know this is an old post but a simple way to make the text dissapear is just to set text color to that of your background.
eg if your text input background is white then:
input[type="file"]{
color:#fff;
}
This will not effect the Choose File text which will still be black due to the browser.
There is a simple and hacky way to show only the file input button while keeping the render and translations of this file input button :
Make the text that is displayed after a file input invisible using a the color transparent.
<input type="file" style="color: transparent" />
my solution is just to set it within a div like "druveen" said, however i ad my own button style to the div (make it look like a button with a:hover) and i just set the style "opacity:0;" to the input. Works a charm for me, hope it does the same for you.
This works for me:
input[type="file"] {
color: white!important;
}
I just styled an input file with width: 85px, and the text field disappeared at all
Select Logo <input type="file" id="logo">
$("#logo").css('opacity','0');
$("#select_logo").click(function(){
$().trigger('click');
return false;
});
For me, the simplest way is using a font color like background color. Simple, not elegant, but usefull.
<div style="color:#FFFFFF"> <!-- if background page is white, of course -->
<input class="fileInput" type="file" name="file1"/></div>
So here's the best way to do this FOR ALL BROWSERS:
Forget CSS!
<p>Append Image:</p>
<input type="button" id="clickImage" value="Add Image" />
<input type="file" name="images[]" id="images" multiple />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script>
$('#images').hide();
$('#clickImage').click( function() {
$('#images').trigger('click');
});
</script>
All these answers are cute, but CSS won't work since it isn't the same across all browsers and devices, the first answer I wrote will work in everything but Safari. To get it to work accross all browsers all the time it must be created dynamically and recreated every time you want to clear the input text:
var imageDiv = document.createElement("div");
imageDiv.setAttribute("id", "imagediv");
imageDiv.style.cssText = 'position:relative; vertical-align: bottom;';
var imageText = document.createTextNode("Append Image:");
var newLine = document.createElement("br");
var image = document.createElement("input");
image.setAttribute("type", "file");
image.setAttribute("id", "images");
image.setAttribute("name", "images[]");
image.setAttribute("multiple", "multiple");
imageDiv.appendChild(imageText);
imageDiv.appendChild(newLine);
imageDiv.appendChild(image);
questionParagraph.appendChild(imageDiv);
The answer of tmanthey is quite good, except that you can't play with border-width in Firefox v20. If you see the link (demo, can't really show here) they solved the problem using font-size=23px, transform:translate(-300px, 0px) scale(4) for Firefox to get the button bigger.
Other solutions using .click() on a different div is useless if you want to make it a drag'n'drop input box.
There are several valid options here but thought I would give what I have come up with while trying to fix a similar issue. http://jsfiddle.net/5RyrG/1/
<span class="btn fileinput-button">
<span>Import Field(s)</span>
<input id="fileupload" type="file" name="files[]" onchange="handleFiles(this.files)" multiple>
</span>
<div id="txt"></div>
function handleFiles(files){
$('#txt').text(files[0].name);
}
I wrote this:
<form action='' method='POST' name='form-upload-image' id='form-upload-image' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<div style="width: 0; height: 0; overflow: hidden;">
<input type="file" name="input-file" id="input-file" onchange="this.files.length > 0 ? document.getElementById('form-upload-image').submit():null;" />
</div>
</form>
<img src="image.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="document.getElementById('input-file').click();" />
Work fine in all browsers, no jQuery, no CSS.
Here is a simplified version of #ampersandre's popular solution that works in all major browsers.
Asp.NET markup
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="FilePath" CssClass="form-control"
style="float:left; display:inline; margin-right:5px; width:300px"
ReadOnly="True" ClientIDMode="Static" />
<div class="inputWrapper">
<div id="UploadFile" style="height:38px; font-size:16px;
text-align:center">Upload File</div>
<div>
<input name="FileUpload" id="FileInput" runat="server"
type="File" />
</div>
</div>
<asp:Button ID="UploadButton" runat="server"
style="display:none" OnClick="UploadButton_Click" />
</div>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnFileName" runat="server" ClientIDMode="Static" />
JQuery Code
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#UploadFile').click(function () {
alert('UploadFile clicked');
$('[id$="FileInput"]').trigger('click');
});
$('[id$="FileInput"]').change(function (event) {
var target = event.target;
var tmpFile = target.files[0].name;
alert('FileInput changed:' + tmpFile);
if (tmpFile.length > 0) {
$('#hdnFileName').val(tmpFile);
}
$('[id$="UploadButton"]').trigger('click');
});
});
css code
.inputWrapper {
height: 38px;
width: 102px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
padding: 6px 6px;
cursor: pointer;
white-space:nowrap;
/*Using a background color, but you can use a background image to represent
a button*/
background-color: #DEDEDE;
border: 1px solid gray;
border-radius: 4px;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
-webkit-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
Uses a hidden "UploadButton" click trigger for server postback with standard . The with "Upload File" text pushes the input control out of view in the wrapper div when it overflows so there is no need to apply any styles for the "file input" control div. The $([id$="FileInput"]) selector allows section of ids with standard ASP.NET prefixes applied. The FilePath textbox value in set from server code behind from hdnFileName.Value once file is uploaded.
