how to set value for textbox using javascript?

tpham

Hi,

I currently need to get a copy of selected text in a select list and copy it to a defined textbox. My current code is

<script type="text/javascript">

siteCopy = document.getElementById("customerfield_10200");

site = document.getElementById("customfield_10102");

site.onchange= function()

{

siteCopy.text=site.options[site.selectedIndex].text;

}

</script>

and it seemd doesn't work. Please be advised that siteCopy is a textbox custom field and site is a select list custom field.

Thanks.

How are you getting this JavaScript loaded into the page? You probably need to wire it up so that the javascript only executes after the page has finished loading.

You can also use jQuery in JIRA to make selecting DOM elements a bit nicer.

Try something like this:

<script type="text/javascript>
AJS.toInit(function() {
  var siteCopy = AJS.$("#customfield_10200");
  var site = AJS.$("#customfield_10102");

  site.change(function() {
    siteCopy.val(site.val());
  });
});


</script>
