[SOLVED] display orderform values in a div

Recommended Posts

I am trying to figure out a way to display the choices made in a form below in a div.

 

Basicly I want a form with checkboxes, dropdowns and radiobuttons and when pressing the submit button it should display the choices below in a div...

 

So, can I do this using getElementById to set variables or do i use the Elements array somehow?

Either way should work. You can either call them all individually with getElementById() or write something generic that loops over all the form elements. If you are looping though, just remember that you will need several cases, as text boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons are all handled differently

I think I am way off with this one :)

Ok...I have this now:

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



function submitForm(){
	var namn = document.getElementById("name").value;

	///////////////////

	var cbs = document.forms[0].elements["radio"];
	for(var i=0; i<cbs.length; i++){
		cbs[i].checked = true;
		}

	document.writeln(namn + cbs);

	}


</script>

 

The output gives the name and [object NodeList] , so how can I output the value of the boxes instead?

I am not sure what I am trying to do with the accursed checkboxes and radiobuttons really... Do I fetch the whole group and then loop through to find the checked one and then pick out the value...or how do I do this?

 

Picking out the value of one ID is not so difficult, but the concept of filtering through groups of inputs is still not clear to me...

I envision something like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

      function submitForm(){
        var form = document.getElementById('form1');
        var output = "";
        for(var i = 0;i < form.length;i++){
          var ele = form[i];
          if(ele.tagName == 'SELECT'){
            output += "Select '"+ele.name+"': "+ele[ele.selectedIndex].value+"<br />";
          }else if(ele.type == 'radio'){
            if(ele.checked){
              output += "Radio Button '"+ele.name+"': "+ele.value+"<br />";
            }
          }else if(ele.type == 'checkbox'){
            if(ele.checked){
              output += "Checkbox '"+ele.name+"': "+ele.value+"<br />";
            }
          }else{
            output += "Other '"+ele.name+"': "+ele.value+"<br />";
          }
        }
        document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = output;
        return false;
      }
