Hidden field & javascript variable

[Former Member]

Hi BSP experts,

within my BSP form I had to use some javascript parts. I am not really familiar with javascript and have the following problem:

I created a javascript variable:

var name = document.getElementById('name').value;

Variable 'name' is filled by a form field, but now I have the problem to fill the hidden field with the variable value (I need that hidden field for data posting):

<input type = "hidden"

name = "NAME_LAST"

id = "NAME_LAST"

value = '"NAME"' />

In my example, the value of my variable is not considered, but it is only as string interpreted.

Best regards

Tom

Welcome to SDN Tom.

the stt.

var name = document.getElementById('name').value;

is to set the element (name) value to variable name.

you cannot just give the javascript variable anme in the value field. if you want to set the value for a input field thru javascript consider the following example.

<input type = "hidden"

name = "NAME_LAST"

id = "NAME_LAST"

value = "" />

<script>

document.getElementById('NAME_LAST').value = 'ABC' ;

</script>

the above script would set the value for the input field as 'ABC'.

if you want this to happen on particular action.(say a button click then make a javascript function like below and call it on click of a button.

<script>

function setVal()

{

document.getElementById('NAME_LAST').value = 'ABC' ;

}

</script>

<input type="button" name="b1" onclick=setVal();"/>
