Using onClick to paste code

28 New Member

Hi,

I am working on having a button click and then it will paste code into a selected box.

I am having a little bit of an issue though.

First my code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>
 
<script type="text/javascript">

function check(browser)

  {

  document.getElementById("answer").value=browser;

  }

</script>
 
</head>

<body>
 
<form>

<input type="button" onclick="check(this.id)" id='<a href="http://bikramhotyoga.ca/index.php/instructors/michael-ashton/">Michael</a>' value="Michael"<br />

<input type="button" onclick="check(this.id)" id='<a href="http://bikramhotyoga.ca/index.php/instructors/dan-durand/">Dan</a>' value="Dan"<br />

<input type="button" onclick="check(this.id)" id='<a href="http://bikramhotyoga.ca/index.php/instructors/barb-towell/">Barb</a>' value="Barb"<br />

<input type="button" onclick="check(this.id)" id='<a href="http://bikramhotyoga.ca/index.php/instructors/gulie-ajania/">Gulie</a>' value="Gulie"<br />

<br /><br />

The teacher is: <input type="text" id="answer" size="20">

The teacher is: <input type="text" id="2" size="20">

</form>
 
</body>

</html>

Two things:

1) It will only paste into the box that has an id of 'answer' instead of a selected box.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!!

Cheers,

Michael

What do you mean by selected box? Do you mean the one which has focus?

Note that you haven't closed your input buttons properly.

Oops, thanks.

I have multiple text boxes on one page and would like to place my cursor in a box, click the button and the text value will paste into it. Click on another text box, click, paste. Etc.

Right now it will only paste into a text box with an id of 'answer'

Is there a way to have it paste in whatever box I select?

It is only selecting the one with the value of 'answer', because you hard coded the string 'answer' as the ID value to pull. So pass the ID of the field you want to use, and then pull that element.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
      <script type="text/javascript">
 
      function check(browser, fieldId)  {

        document.getElementById(fieldId).value=browser;

        }

      </script>

        }

      </script>

I tried this code but with not luck. I placed my cursor in the text box, click one of the buttons and nothing happens.

You will need to keep a reference to currently focused element using the onfocus event handler of each text box.
