Add a value to an existing value
I want to add a number to another number that is defined by the user in a text box. The number that is added is determined by a string or code typed into a separate text box, controlled by an event handler.
Scenario
User enters a value of"70"
into text box 1. User then types code "Valley"
into text box 2 which should automatically add "28"
to "70"
in text box 1 and display the new value "开发者_运维百科98"
in text box 1.
Is this possible ? If so what is the best way of approaching it. I have a basic understanding of JavaScript. Below is the start I have made, pretty pathetic I know. Any help is greatly appreciated because I am stumped as to where to go from here.
var TrackingCode = document.getElementById("textbox_2").value;
var textDay = "";
if (TrackingCode == "VALLEY") {
var TrackingCode = document.getElementById("textbox_2").value;
var box1 = document.getElementById("textbox_1");
if (TrackingCode == "VALLEY") {
box1.value = Number(box1.value) + 28;
}
Note the Number
cast is required, or you'll get 7028
.
You can store all your codes in an object as a kind of dictionary:
var codes = {
"VALLEY": 28,
"FIELD" : 42,
"MOUNTAIN" : 7,
"STREAM" : 99,
"PLATEAU" : 18
};
Then get the values and add them up like this:
var firstNumber = parseFloat(document.getElementById("textbox_1").value);
var trackingCode = document.getElementById("textbox_2").value;
if (isFinite(firstNumber) && trackingCode in codes)
{
var codeValue = codes[trackingCode];
var sum = firstNumber + codeValue;
}
Of course, you could also just use a <select>
list box.
<select id="trackingCodeListBox">
<option value="28">VALLEY</option>
<option value="42">FIELD</option>
<option value="7">MOUNTAIN</option>
<option value="99">STREAM</option>
<option value="18">PLATEAU</option>
</select>
Then you would just get the value of the the selected item:
var listBox = document.getElementById("trackingCodeListBox");
var selectedCode = listBox.options[listBox.selectedIndex].value;
var trackingCode = parseFloat(selectedCode); // or parseInt() if appropriate;
Thanks for the help.
function execute()
{
var TrackingCode = document.getElementById("tracking_code").value;
var box1 = document.getElementById("packageCostA");
var num = document.getElementById("adults_nr").value;
if (TrackingCode == "VALLEY") {
packageCostA.value = Number(packageCostA.value) + 28*adults_nr.value;
}
}
That's what I ended up with, it now works how I want it to.
