change input data

How can you stop input data from changing back to the original value?

In this example I have 2 input values.
One is a HTML <INPUT and one is a RB textbox.

When you change the values and click [Go] the HTMP <INPUT goes back to the original value.
How do you stop it from going back to the original value.??



Thanks for the help..

Hi K,

Not sure if this is the answer you're looking for but I suspect you're trying to do something more complex.



Hope that helps

The input field you insert with your code is not managed by Run BASIC. When you click on the Go button the page gets rendered again, and so does your original HTML code including the abcd.

What you need to do is get the contents out of the input field in your [go] routine. Use the #request object to get the value. To do this you must add a name property to the input element. Here is an example:

getInput$ = "abcd"
getTextbox$ = "abcd"
gosub [display]
wait

[go]
getInput$ = #request get$("input")
getTextbox$ = #a contents$()
gosub [display]
print "The input field holds: "; getInput$
print "The textbox holds: "; getTextbox$
wait

[display]
cls
html "<input id='#a' name='input' size=4 value='";getInput$;"' autocomplete=off />"
textbox #a,getTextbox,4ドル
button #go, "Go", [go]
print
return

Here is a version with only the input element.

getInput$ = "abcd"
gosub [display]
wait

[go]
getInput$ = #request get$("input")
gosub [display]
print "The input field holds: "; getInput$
wait

[display]
cls
html "<input id='#a' name='input' size=4 value='";getInput$;"' autocomplete=off />"
button #go, "Go", [go]
print
return

Thanks Carl.
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to make the round trip.

I was going to change all my stuff to HTML <INPUT because I needed some extra features. But if it is going to cost a round trip, I'll have to look into using CSS and textboxes.


Thanks for the help..

Ok! I give up..

The <input tag accepts the autocomplete=off.
Why doesn't this set autocomplete off for the textbox,

call SetCSS
html "<input id='#a' size=4 autocomplete=off />"
textbox #a,"",4
	 #a setid("ao") 'set autocomplete=off
wait

SUB SetCSS
 cssid	#ao, "{AUTOCOMPLETE:off}"
END SUB

Auto-complete is not a style, but an attribute.
You can not set attributes through CSS and JS only supports changing some of the attributes.

The autocomplete attribute seems to be IE only and other browsers need the tags in the head to make things work.

Best viewed with Any-Browser would be nice, bad boys at M$ ...

Amen to that!

I tried it in the header and couldn't get it to work.
So how do we get autocomplete off without using the <input tag.

Looks like we need a #handle setAtrib()

Thanks for the help.

With "tags in the head" I meant the code used in the form data / auto complete thread:

head "<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache,no-store,must-revalidate,max-age=0'>
 <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>"

I tried to use this, but then encountered another problem, where the contents of the RB text box could not be retrieved.

head "<meta http-equiv='cache-control' content='no-cache,no-store,must-revalidate,max-age=0'>
 <meta http-equiv='pragma' content='no-cache'>"

 cls
 print
 print "RB Text Box"
 textbox #box, ""
 print
 print

 'HTML 5 Info at www.w3schools.com/tags/html5_input.asp 
 'HTML replacement for text box without auto complete
 print "HTML Text Box"
 html "<input type='text' id='#boxHTML' name='#boxHTML' value='"; text$; _
 "' autocomplete='off' autofocus='true' />"
 print
 print
 link #action, "Accept", [accept]
 print
 wait

[accept]
 print
 #box contents$(text$)
 print text$
 print
 print #request get$("#boxHTML")
 print
 link #reload, "Reload", [restart]
 print
 wait

OK!
