Add a value to text input field in custom options - frontend

Question

I want to add a default value to text input field in custom options to pass the magento validation. I try to do this in javascript like that: jQuery(".product-options dd input.input-text").attr('value', '--------'); But in some places I need to remove this value: jQuery(".product-options dd input.input-text").attr('value', ''); and when I use this last code, I have: Please specify the product's required option(s).

Thank you

• Robin: you could specify by id instead of class so you can differentiate between which input textboxes need a value

Answer 1

you could specify by id instead of class so you can differentiate between which input textboxes need a value

i.e. instead of jQuery(".product-options dd input.input-text").attr('value', '--------'); you could use something like jQuery(".product-options dd input#youridhere").attr('value', '--------');
