  Help populating jQuery text fields for website form

  Posted by Clint Milner on March 11, 2010 at 10:28 am

  Hello, I was hoping that I could get another set of eyes to help me with a weird problem I’m having…

  https://www.alpha-duplication.com/feedback

  With help from the jQuery UI Slider set, there are 5 sliders that update a text field with a number. The form also has other text fields and a checkbox that all is sent to an email in a php file.

  The form sends fine, and I get all the data except the numbers in the slider text fields.

  Each text input has a unique id that matches the variable in the php file.

  I’ve done a bunch of tests to different email address to see if data is getting stripped out, but I can’t get it to work.

  Here is the relevant jQuery for the first slider:
  
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#slider-p").slider({
value:50,
min: 0,
max: 100,
step: 1,
slide: function(event, ui) {
$("#price").val(ui.value);
}
});
$("#price").val($("#slider-p").slider("value"));
});

  I’m having trouble posting the HTML, but the site is https://www.alpha-duplication.com/feedback

  Please let me know if I can provide any other info for you.

  Many thanks,
  Clint

  The data is being sent from your form, so the problem may be in your php script.

  It does seem you have an issue, though: here, pressing the submit button (with data in the comments text field) creates an http post but also redirects the browser to google …

  Hi Mike,

  It was actually a dumb thing by me… I didn’t add the name attribute to the slider text fields… just the id and I forgot that the php looks at the name and not id.

  Everything is working now, thanks for having a look!
