Greetings. I need to learn how to achieve to dynamically copy form field values using Prototype or possibly Ruby.
I want to achieve something like this: http://websitebuildersresource.com/2009/02/05/copy-form-input-data-to-another-input-field-with-jquery/ http://websitebuildersresource.com/demos/jquery-copy-form-data/ Sorry for posting a jQuery example. I'm fairly new to Prototype, Scriptaculous and RJS. My goal is to achieve similar result using the default libraries of Rails. Although I am aware of jQuery noConflict() and and all those techniques to make jquery work well with other libraries, I just don't want to use it for now. There aren't too many decent examples on how to copy form values for prototype. My question is: How do you use that $F function and form.serialize to copy form field values to other fields? Also event observers seem to fail to work if defined on head tag. Am I right? http://www.prototypejs.org/api/event/observe Examples aren't working for me. So I already have something like this: <input id="item_weight" type="text" value="0" size="10" name="item[weight]"/> <input id="item__copy_weight" type="text" value="0" size="10" name="item[copy_weight]"/> <input type="button" id="button3" value="Same as above" /> <script type="text/javascript"> $('button3').observe('click', function(e) { var form = Event.findElement(e, 'form'); var input = form.down('input[name="item[weight]"]'); alert($F(input)); }); </script> What's missing is the code to make the value of item[weight] same as [copy_weight] when the button is clicked. Help would be greatly appreciated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
