I'm trying to copy 2 fields to one r/o field, using setInterval, as described in
crosstec.org/en/support/online-documenta...n-prior-element.html:
setInterval(ff_getElementByName("txtFullKnownAs").value=ff_getElementByName("fldFName").value + ' ' + ff_getElementByName("fldLName").value,500);

This is to reflect the common name of someone, and to offer the possibility that they can check a box and then enter their formal name in new textboxes.
e.g. someone known as Bob might want to enter Robert as their formal name.

How do I copy this information from 2 boxes to one box.

As expected, the code below doesn't work, as is suggested in the link above.
function ff_fldFName_action(element, action)
{
    switch (action) {
        case 'blur':
        case 'change':
            fname = ff_getElementByName('fldFName').value;
            lname = ff_getElementByName('fldLName').value;
            ff_getElementByName('hidFullKnownAs').value = fname + ' ' + lname;
            break;
        default:;
    } // switch
} // ff_fldFName_action
If I can't concatenate two fields like this, is there a way of putting two r/o fields, populated by setInterval, without labels on the same line?
Thanks, Mike

Hi,

you don't need the code in actionscript of each field.

Instead of this, go to your form->Advanced->More options->Scripts->Initialization script->check Custom and put:
function ff_formname_init()
{
setInterval('calc()', 500);
} // ff_formname_init

function calc() {
ff_getElementByName('fulltext').value=ff_getElementByName('name').value + " " + ff_getElementByName('name2').value;
}
formname is name of form (not title)
name is name of first element
name2 is name of second element
fulltext is name of element in which you want to show copy of two field

Also, I create a small example:

File Name: example1612.zip
File Size:6 KB


Please download, unzip and install it (BreezingForms->Configuration->package installer->select xml file->Install package, after that you will see form in Manage Forms).

Let me know if you need more help

Tihana

Hi Tihana
Thanks for that, I hadn't thought of putting a function in there.
Your example works fine, but when I put it into the main form, I get an error on typing text into the two fields- see attachments.
I'd like some guidance on how to debug this if possible.

In the Console, I get the error, and the number of errors increments by one per 0.5 secs.


In the source the issue is here:



The code is as per yours:
function ff_frmPayMembership_init() {
       setInterval('calc()', 500);
} // ff_frmPayMembership_init

function calc() {
// Live
ff_getElementByName('txtFullKnownAs').value = ff_getElementByName('fldLName').value + " " + ff_getElementByName('fldLName').value;
// Test
//ff_getElementByName('txtFullKnownAs').value = 'b' + " " + 'a';
}
I have tried making the source fields just two strings, and it works OK. accessing the properties of these two fields that's an issue.

I can let you have a login if that helps, or export the form.

Thanks for your help

Hi,

solved!

I changed names of fields for last, first, and recorded name, all with lowercase, and it works now :)

Let me know if you need anything else
