Hi Guys
Just have a little scrpt i got from somwhere a while ago, jsut want to know if its possible to change it a little, It currently saves all test in textboxes or <input type=text> boxes, prints it to a text box, than retrieves it if the page crashes or any thing, just wondering if i can get it to also do this for textboxes ie <textbox></textbox> inputs?
I have a feeling its somthing to do with this line
if (el.type == 'text') {
And here is the whole script
/**
* Set a cookie
* @param string cookie name
* @param string cookie value
* @param string cookie expiration counter in days
* @param string cookie path
* @param string cookie domain
* @param bool secure?
*/
function setCookie( name, value, expires, path, domain, secure ) {
var today = new Date();
today.setTime( today.getTime() );
if ( expires ) {
expires = expires * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
}
var expires_date = new Date( today.getTime() + (expires) );
document.cookie = name+"="+escape( value ) +
( ( expires ) ? ";expires="+expires_date.toGMTString() : "" ) +
( ( path ) ? ";path=" + path : "" ) +
( ( domain ) ? ";domain=" + domain : "" ) +
( ( secure ) ? ";secure" : "" );
}
/**
* Get a cookie value
* @param string cookie name
*/
function getCookie( name ) {
var start = document.cookie.indexOf( name + "=" );
var len = start + name.length + 1;
if ( ( !start ) && ( name != document.cookie.substring( 0, name.length ) ) ) {
return null;
}
if ( start == -1 ) return null;
var end = document.cookie.indexOf( ";", len );
if ( end == -1 ) end = document.cookie.length;
return unescape( document.cookie.substring( len, end ) );
}
/**
* Remebers form inputs after you fill them in
* @param string a prefix to prepend to all cookie names. (prevent naming conflicts)
*/
function rememberFormInputs(form_id, prefix) {
// get a reference to the form element with id 'form_test'
var form = document.getElementById(form_id);
// get all child input elements of the form
var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
// iterate through all form child input elements
for (var i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
// this is the element with index of i
var el = els.item(i);
// make sure this is a text input field
if (el.type == 'text') {
// event handler to catch onblur events
// it sets the cookie values each time you move out of an input field
el.onblur = function() {
// this is the name of the input field
var name = this.name;
// this is the value of the input field
var value = this.value;
// set the cookie
setCookie( prefix + name, value);
alert('setCookie: '+name + ' = '+value);
};
// this inserts all the remembered cookie values into the input fields
var old_value = getCookie(prefix + el.name);
if (old_value && old_value != '') {
alert('old value remembered: '+old_value);
el.value = old_value;
}
}
}
}
// function will be run after window/document loads
window.onload = function() {
rememberFormInputs('form_test', 'input-');
}
// overload alert
function alert(str) {
var el = document.getElementById('alert');
if (el) {
el.value += str+"\r\n";
}
}
