Type on Page

[Dysan]

Using JavaScript, how do I enable the user to type directly onto the screen, and store each character entered, as a string inside a hidden form field?

Is it possible to enter text directly on the page using JavaScript?

what are you wanting a keylogger? the closest thing I can think of would be something like this (but as soon as they click somewhere else in the page, it will no longer work:

 

<script language="javascript">
function getStuff() {
document.myForm.grabber.focus();
}
</script>

<form name="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="grabber">
</form>

 

possible alternate methods

 

1.) you can store the values from all other fields into a hidden input field - that is also possible.

 

2.) you may be able to insert keyCodes (and have javascript to interpret them) into a hidden input field also.

 

note: you know some might consider what your doing as creating spyware or a trojan horse.
