Multiple rows in input field - field

<center><label for="max">Message:</label><input type="text" name="message" value="This is the message" +message=""></center><br>
How can I make the input field a bit bigger with many rows?
Also, I want the "This is the message" to be like a label so when the user clicks in there he can type anything he wants instead of this text.

For HTML input to have multiple lines, you would need to make use of the textarea element.
To answer the other part of the question, I think it would depend on the HTML version you making use of, you could use 'placeholder' instead of 'value' attribute to have a placeholder text.
<center><label for="max">Message:</label><textarea name="message" placeholder="This is the message" +message=""></textarea><br>

I think you want to increase size of your text box?
Using style you cant increse size of your text box
<center><label for="max">Message:</label><input type="text" name="message" value="This is the message" +message="" style="width:100%"></center><br>

Capybara (poltergeist) cannot find checkbox in form

I cannot get Capybara for find a checkbox element.
I've tried all the usual ways:
find_field
check
find
click_on
It's as if the element isn't there. If I select the parent element, and look at it's innerHTML the checkbox is included:
(byebug) all(:css, '.checkbox.form-group').last['innerHTML']
\n <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"google_agreed_to_terms_at\" value=\"1\" required=\"true\" ng-model=\"agreed_to_terms\" required-notification=\"Please agree to the terms and conditions\" class=\"ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-empty ng-invalid ng-invalid-required\" bs-validation=\"\">\
but selecting the child elements it's not there:
(byebug) all(:css, '.checkbox.form-group').last.all :xpath, './*'
[#<Capybara::Node::Element tag="label"
path="//HTML[1]/BODY[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[1]/DIV[2]/FORM[1]/DIV[1]/LABEL[1]">]
I feel like I'm going mad.
Here's the relevant code (copied from save_and_open_page)
<div class="checkbox form-group">
<input type="checkbox" id="agreed_to_terms_at" value="1" required="true" ng-model="agreed_to_terms" required-notification="Please agree to the terms and conditions" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-empty ng-invalid ng-invalid-required" bs-validation="">
<label class="label-light" for="agreed_to_terms_at">
I have read and agree to the terms</label>
</div>
I thought maybe rails was generating slightly non-compliant HTML, so I've gone to writing the checkbox by hand, but it didn't help.
What's going on here?
The checkbox is hidden to allow for uniform styling across all browsers. Since you have a label element correctly associated you can tell check to click the label instead of the actual checkbox
check('agreed_to_terms_at', allow_label_click: true)
which will click the checkbox if visible and if not it will click the label. If you want it to only click the label you can do
find(:label, 'I have read and agree').click
Or
find(:label, for:'agreed_to_terms_at').click
Due to CSS styling, the checkbox element was being hidden and the label used to present it. So the element was getting skipped over by capybara's default behaviour to ignore hidden elements.
I worked around it using
find('#agreed_to_terms_at', :visible => false).trigger('click')

range tag adding incrementing/decrementing arrows to my editor field

Hi I tried adding a range from 1-10 to a field in my model and it caused 2 mini arrows to appear to the right of my editor field that increment and decrement the value inside by 1. I would like to know how to remove these arrows. Any advice would be great. Thanks
Instead of using #Html.Editor html helper, use #Html.TextBox, this will solve your problem.
Because the property type is integer, if you'r using #Html.Editor, it will generate html like below:
<input type="number" id="Data" />
Notice the input element type is number, if your browser support HTML 5, it will show two arrows to the right. It's an html 5 feature.
But, if you're using #Html.TextBox, it will generate html like below:
<input type="text" id="Data" />
This time the type is text, it will not show the arrows.

Struts 2 text box arrangment

I want to create a form that contains text boxes as follow. I am using Struts2.
User Name
|Text Box for user name|
mail id
|Text box for mail id|
<s:textarea name="username" id="username" label="User Name"/>
This is showing:
User name |Text Box for user name|
But I want the above format. When I am using validation framework label is shown in italic, I want normal text.
That is because of default struts2 theme factor xhtml which is showing the output html in table structure
Change the theme to simple ans use your own css/HTML way to customize the output
crate a struts.properties file and add the following entry
struts.ui.theme=simple
this will change the theme for whole application as struts2 tags will no longer generates HTML/table code for you
else u can override the theme per page basis
like
<s:set name="theme" value="'simple'" scope="page" />
alternate way can be what "Steven" suggested
You're in luck. Just add the labelposition="top" attribute to your Struts2 input tags. e.g.,
<s:textfield name="subject"
label="Subject"
size="30"
maxlength="50"
labelposition="top"
required="true"/>
As for the italic label, that should be controlled by CSS.

Providing Required Format Information in Text Box in MVC view

How do you set a string to denote the required format pattern in a text box. For instance, if I have a text box displayed such as a date field, how do I display a format of "dd/mm/yyyy" to help the User complete the field. If the field is already populated when the view is displayed then the actual data should be displayed.
If the field is a drop down list, I would like to display "Please select from the list" if the field does not contain a value.
In HTML 5 you can achieve it using Placeholder attribute of input tag like this:
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="validemail#email.com" />
However HTML5 is not yet supported by most browsers, so you will have to live with javascript based solution. Populate the desired value in textbox when page is loading (you can use CSS to make that text dim). Using javascript empty the field on "onfocus" event.
For drop down list populate "please select..." thing with Value as 0. This way you can validate on server that user has not selected any valid value.

Link in input text field

HI All,
I know this is bit strange question, but please suggest.
I want to create a link on website url content in input type"text" field not any other html tag,Is it possible and if yes how.
Regards & Thanks
Amit
I don't know whether I understood your question correctly or not. Based on my understanding I gave the answer. Feel free to raise your question. Nothing is impossible.
</input>
It displays a text box. You can enter any data into it. If you press enter key then it forwards the page to Google.com
You can use SPAN instead of INPUT. This also serve the same purpose.
<a href="http://www.google.com" ><span style="border:1px solid blue;" >Link</span></a>
This is unfortunately not possible in the way you've asked it in HTML 4 or below. Even with HTML5 which has several new INPUT TYPEs, including URL, it only does validation and has some other useful functions, but won't give you want you want.
You might look for some jQuery plugins that can help you do this, most use the same principals behind Rich Text or other online/web-based HTML WYSIWYG editors. I've had trouble locating them myself.
These 3 situations (that I can think of right now) are pretty much what you will face natively with HTML4 or below, as text in an actual HTML4 INPUT textbox is pure text. It is not html and therefore NOT clickable. Here are some variations:
The INPUT tag's VALUE attribute, also referenced as the corresponding DOM object's "value" property (which is basically what you've been doing, and the most you can hope for, if you decide that you MUST have the text that's ACTUALLY inside the textbox (because the text inside the textbox is the VALUE attribute, as I have it with "http://yahoo.com" in this example):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text" value="http://yahoo.com">
where the INPUT's VALUE = "http://yahoo.com", which you can retrieve with:
in pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").value
in jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").val()
When your link/url is the text in between the and , i.e. the text/innerText of the textbox. This is useless for your question/scenario since it's not clickable, and more importantly NOT INSIDE the textbox. However, someone might want to use this to retrieve any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the <label> tag itself already that is):
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
http://yahoo.com
</input>
The textbox's text/innerText is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerText
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").text() -- you would use this to capure any text that you may be using as a label (if you're not using the tag).
The result being: http://yahoo.com
When your link/url is the form of an ANCHOR () with an HREF to your url (and visible link text) in between the and , i.e. the innerHTML of the textbox. This is getting a bit closer to what you want, as the link will appear as, and function as an actual link. However, it will NOT be inside of the textbox. It will be along side it as in example #2. Again, as stated in example #1, you CANNOT have actual working HTML, and therefore a working 'link' inside of a textbox:
<input id="myTxtbox" type="text">
<a href="http://yahoo.com">
http://yahoo.com
</a>
</input>
Once again, similarly to example #2, the textbox's innerHTML is NOT an attribute here, only a DOM object property, but can still be retrieved:
pure javascript:
document.getElementById("myTxtbox").innerHTML
jQuery:
$("myTxtBox").html()
The result being: http://yahoo.com
You could simply do this :
<input type=text value="link" readonly>
So whenever somebody clicks the textbox, it works as a link, and since it's read only, there wont be any text input/change.
Be careful tho, for it wont look like a regular link and might cause confusion, or may be misinterpreted as a normal textbox.
This is how I did it with JavaScript and JQuery. This wraps the entire text field in a hyperlink, so essentially the entire text field is click-able, which may not be the functionality you are looking for. It worked for my purposes though.
The reason I didn't just use a $(nameTextField).click(function(){...}) structure is because the text field I'm using has the disabled attribute set, so click functions aren't fired. That's why I had to wrap the text field in a hyperlink.
// Make person name a hyperlink to page in new tab
var nameLink = "/exampleUrl/?initStudentId=$" + studentId;
$("#studentNameLink").replaceWith($("#studentNameLink").html()); // Unwrap any previously wrapped text fields
$(nameTextField).wrap("<a id='studentNameLink' target='_blank' href='" + nameLink + "'>"); // Wrap text field in anchor
$(nameTextField).css('color', '#326699'); // Make text blue
$(nameTextField).val(studentName); // Set text field value
Half the people here missunderstood it. The OP would like to have the content/value of the input fields to be hyperlinks instantly and NOT the fields themselves.
It is doable... although it's not an input field but the appearance acts like such one.
Use the following: contenteditable=true
HTML
<div contenteditable=true>
<a id=lnk style=-moz-appearance:textfield href=http://www.google.com>http://www.google.com</a>
</div>
or optionally -webkit-appearance ..depends
JavaScript
var lnk=document.getElementById('lnk');
lnk.addEventListener('click',()=>{
window.location.href = lnk.getAttribute('href');
});

You want someone clicking a textbox to actually be treated as a link click?
Sounds malicious to me but you could bind the focus event via javascript to a window.redirect().
I don't know if I get the question right. As I've understood you want to be able to type in a ...-tag into an input-field. No other tags should be allowed. You can achieve this by using PHP for example:
<!-- HTML-Code -->
<input type="text" name="link" />
// PHP-Code
$link = strip_tags($_POST['link'], 'a'); // Remove all other tags than the <a>-Tag...
Is that what you mean?
Yes, it is possible, but it's not that simple. You need to create div, or other tag you prefer, that will be always floating over your input, using CSS positions, and create anchor inside it.
For example, virtual keyboard img is embedded into input field that way on russian Google page (http://www.google.ru/)
Because of browser-compatibility it's not a simple task.
EDIT: Understood your question a little more. You still need first part of the answer, and you will need to handle keypress event inside your input. When symbol is entered you will need to update your floating div.
So now task is difficult even more. Maybe you should revise your model and not the code.
