Input Property

Post by jPaul »

Hi Everybody,

Which property of an editBox (or any input control) is used to pass the
content of that control? Like $value = ???
Many Thanks,

In which context? Do you mean in JavaScript?

Note that these are all standard HTML elements so if you are creating a script then this is not specific to WWB.

If you want to get the value of an edit box in JavaScript, it’d normally look something like document.getElementById('yourElementId').value. Even if you’re using jQuery, it’s even simpler with $('#yourElementId').val().

Thanks, fellows,

When someone enters their information into a form control, such as an editBox: The editBox ID is fName and they enter "Peter".

When they press the <SUBMIT> button, the idea is to either update or create a new record in a MySQL table. What property of the editBox contains "Peter" so that the PHP statement $FirstName="Peter"?
Many Thanks,

When a form is submitted the value will be put into a $_POST variable:

Note that this is not specific to WWB. This is standard PHP functionality.
