I am new to Blazor and trying to set up an address form to use google place autocomplete. I have done this web and mobile before.
I am not sure how to:
Call the javascript from the blazor component.
Populate the address fields from the selected address.
Save the data in the fields to the backend.
I was able to get working with the code below. For the complete solution see github repo. Here is the demo site.

window.initAutocomplete = () => {
let autocomplete;
let address1Field;
let address2Field;
let postalField;
fillInAddress = (autocomplete) => {
// Get the place details from the autocomplete object.
const place = autocomplete.getPlace();
let address1 = "";
let postcode = "";
// Get each component of the address from the place details,
// and then fill-in the corresponding field on the form.
// place.address_components are google.maps.GeocoderAddressComponent objects
// which are documented at http://goo.gle/3l5i5Mr
if (place) {
for (const component of place.address_components) {
const componentType = component.types[0];
switch (componentType) {
case "street_number": {
address1 = `${component.long_name} ${address1}`;
break;
}
case "route": {
address1 += component.short_name;
break;
}
case "postal_code": {
postcode = `${component.long_name}${postcode}`;
break;
}
case "postal_code_suffix": {
postcode = `${postcode}-${component.long_name}`;
break;
}
case "locality":
document.querySelector("#locality").value = component.long_name;
break;
case "administrative_area_level_1": {
document.querySelector("#state").value = component.short_name;
break;
}
case "country":
document.querySelector("#country").value = component.long_name;
break;
}
}
address1Field.value = address1;
postalField.value = postcode;
// After filling the form with address components from the Autocomplete
// prediction, set cursor focus on the second address line to encourage
// entry of subpremise information such as apartment, unit, or floor number.
address2Field.focus();
}
}
address1Field = document.querySelector("#ship-address");
address2Field = document.querySelector("#address2");
postalField = document.querySelector("#postcode");
// Create the autocomplete object, restricting the search predictions to
// addresses in the US and Canada.
autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(address1Field, {
componentRestrictions: { country: ["us", "ca"] },
fields: ["address_components", "geometry"],
types: ["address"],
});
address1Field.focus();
// When the user selects an address from the drop-down, populate the
// address fields in the form.
autocomplete.addListener("place_changed", function () { fillInAddress(autocomplete) });

Is it possible to make a HTML5 slider with two input values, for example to select a price range? If so, how can it be done?
I've been looking for a lightweight, dependency free dual slider for some time (it seemed crazy to import jQuery just for this) and there don't seem to be many out there. I ended up modifying #Wildhoney's code a bit and really like it.
function getVals(){
// Get slider values
var parent = this.parentNode;
var slides = parent.getElementsByTagName("input");
var slide1 = parseFloat( slides[0].value );
var slide2 = parseFloat( slides[1].value );
// Neither slider will clip the other, so make sure we determine which is larger
if( slide1 > slide2 ){ var tmp = slide2; slide2 = slide1; slide1 = tmp; }
var displayElement = parent.getElementsByClassName("rangeValues")[0];
displayElement.innerHTML = slide1 + " - " + slide2;
}
window.onload = function(){
// Initialize Sliders
var sliderSections = document.getElementsByClassName("range-slider");
for( var x = 0; x < sliderSections.length; x++ ){
var sliders = sliderSections[x].getElementsByTagName("input");
for( var y = 0; y < sliders.length; y++ ){
if( sliders[y].type ==="range" ){
sliders[y].oninput = getVals;
// Manually trigger event first time to display values
sliders[y].oninput();
}
}
}

No, the HTML5 range input only accepts one input. I would recommend you to use something like the jQuery UI range slider for that task.
Coming late, but noUiSlider avoids having a jQuery-ui dependency, which the accepted answer does not. Its only "caveat" is IE support is for IE9 and newer, if legacy IE is a deal breaker for you.
It's also free, open source and can be used in commercial projects without restrictions.
Installation: Download noUiSlider, extract the CSS and JS file somewhere in your site file system, and then link to the CSS from head and to JS from body:
<!-- In <head> -->
<link href="nouislider.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- In <body> -->
<script src="nouislider.min.js"></script>
Example usage: Creates a slider which goes from 0 to 100, and starts set to 20-80.
HTML:
<div id="slider">
</div>
JS:
var slider = document.getElementById('slider');
noUiSlider.create(slider, {
start: [20, 80],
connect: true,
range: {
'min': 0,
'max': 100
}
});
Sure you can simply use two sliders overlaying each other and add a bit of javascript (actually not more than 5 lines) that the selectors are not exceeding the min/max values (like in #Garys) solution.
Attached you'll find a short snippet adapted from a current project including some CSS3 styling to show what you can do (webkit only). I also added some labels to display the selected values.
It uses JQuery but a vanillajs version is no magic though.
#Update: The code below was just a proof of concept. Due to many requests I've added a possible solution for Mozilla Firefox (without changing the original code). You may want to refractor the code below before using it.
(function() {
function addSeparator(nStr) {
nStr += '';
var x = nStr.split('.');
var x1 = x[0];
var x2 = x.length > 1 ? '.' + x[1] : '';
var rgx = /(\d+)(\d{3})/;
while (rgx.test(x1)) {
x1 = x1.replace(rgx, '$1' + '.' + '$2');
}
return x1 + x2;
}

Actually I used my script in html directly. But in javascript when you add oninput event listener for this event it gives the data automatically.You just need to assign the value as per your requirement.

The question was: "Is it possible to make a HTML5 slider with two input values, for example to select a price range? If so, how can it be done?"
In 2020 it is possible to create a fully accessible, native, non-jquery HTML5 slider with two thumbs for price ranges. If found this posted after I already created this solution and I thought that it would be nice to share my implementation here.
This implementation has been tested on mobile Chrome and Firefox (Android) and Chrome and Firefox (Linux). I am not sure about other platforms, but it should be quite good. I would love to get your feedback and improve this solution.
This solution allows multiple instances on one page and it consists of just two inputs (each) with descriptive labels for screen readers. You can set the thumb size in the amount of grid labels. Also, you can use touch, keyboard and mouse to interact with the slider. The value is updated during adjustment, due to the 'on input' event listener.
My first approach was to overlay the sliders and clip them. However, that resulted in complex code with a lot of browser dependencies. Then I recreated the solution with two sliders that were 'inline'. This is the solution you will find below.
var thumbsize = 14;
function draw(slider,splitvalue) {
/* set function vars */
var min = slider.querySelector('.min');
var max = slider.querySelector('.max');
var lower = slider.querySelector('.lower');
var upper = slider.querySelector('.upper');
var legend = slider.querySelector('.legend');
var thumbsize = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-thumbsize'));
var rangewidth = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangewidth'));
var rangemin = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangemin'));
var rangemax = parseInt(slider.getAttribute('data-rangemax'));
/* set min and max attributes */
min.setAttribute('max',splitvalue);
max.setAttribute('min',splitvalue);
/* set css */
min.style.width = parseInt(thumbsize + ((splitvalue - rangemin)/(rangemax - rangemin))*(rangewidth - (2*thumbsize)))+'px';
max.style.width = parseInt(thumbsize + ((rangemax - splitvalue)/(rangemax - rangemin))*(rangewidth - (2*thumbsize)))+'px';
min.style.left = '0px';
max.style.left = parseInt(min.style.width)+'px';
min.style.top = lower.offsetHeight+'px';
max.style.top = lower.offsetHeight+'px';
legend.style.marginTop = min.offsetHeight+'px';
slider.style.height = (lower.offsetHeight + min.offsetHeight + legend.offsetHeight)+'px';
/* correct for 1 off at the end */
if(max.value>(rangemax - 1)) max.setAttribute('data-value',rangemax);
/* write value and labels */
max.value = max.getAttribute('data-value');
min.value = min.getAttribute('data-value');
lower.innerHTML = min.getAttribute('data-value');
upper.innerHTML = max.getAttribute('data-value');
}
function init(slider) {
/* set function vars */
var min = slider.querySelector('.min');
var max = slider.querySelector('.max');
var rangemin = parseInt(min.getAttribute('min'));
var rangemax = parseInt(max.getAttribute('max'));
var avgvalue = (rangemin + rangemax)/2;
var legendnum = slider.getAttribute('data-legendnum');
/* set data-values */
min.setAttribute('data-value',rangemin);
max.setAttribute('data-value',rangemax);
/* set data vars */
slider.setAttribute('data-rangemin',rangemin);
slider.setAttribute('data-rangemax',rangemax);
slider.setAttribute('data-thumbsize',thumbsize);
slider.setAttribute('data-rangewidth',slider.offsetWidth);
/* write labels */
var lower = document.createElement('span');
var upper = document.createElement('span');
lower.classList.add('lower','value');
upper.classList.add('upper','value');
lower.appendChild(document.createTextNode(rangemin));
upper.appendChild(document.createTextNode(rangemax));
slider.insertBefore(lower,min.previousElementSibling);
slider.insertBefore(upper,min.previousElementSibling);
/* write legend */
var legend = document.createElement('div');
legend.classList.add('legend');
var legendvalues = [];
for (var i = 0; i < legendnum; i++) {
legendvalues[i] = document.createElement('div');
var val = Math.round(rangemin+(i/(legendnum-1))*(rangemax - rangemin));
legendvalues[i].appendChild(document.createTextNode(val));
legend.appendChild(legendvalues[i]);
}
slider.appendChild(legend);
/* draw */
draw(slider,avgvalue);
/* events */
min.addEventListener("input", function() {update(min);});
max.addEventListener("input", function() {update(max);});
}
function update(el){
/* set function vars */
var slider = el.parentElement;
var min = slider.querySelector('#min');
var max = slider.querySelector('#max');
var minvalue = Math.floor(min.value);
var maxvalue = Math.floor(max.value);
/* set inactive values before draw */
min.setAttribute('data-value',minvalue);
max.setAttribute('data-value',maxvalue);
var avgvalue = (minvalue + maxvalue)/2;
/* draw */
draw(slider,avgvalue);
}
var sliders = document.querySelectorAll('.min-max-slider');

Note that you should keep the step size to 1 to prevent the values to change due to redraws/redraw bugs.

2022 - Accessible solution - 30 second solution to implement
This solution builds off of this answer by #JoostS. Accessibility is something none of the answers have focused on and that is a problem, so I built off of the above answer by making it more accessible & extensible since it had some flaws.
Usage is very simple:
Use the CDN or host the script locally: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/maxshuty/accessible-web-components/dist/simpleRange.min.js
Add this element to your template or HTML: <range-selector min-range="0" max-range="1000" />
Hook into it by listening for the range-changed event (or whatever event-name-to-emit-on-change you pass in)
That's it. View the full demo here. You can easily customize it by simply applying attributes like inputs-for-labels to use inputs instead of labels, slider-color to adjust the color, and so much more!
Here is a fiddle:
window.addEventListener('range-changed', (e) => {console.log(`Range changed for: ${e.detail.sliderId}. Min/Max range values are available in this object too`)})
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/maxshuty/accessible-web-components#latest/dist/simpleRange.min.js"></script>
<div>
<range-selector
id="rangeSelector1"
min-label="Minimum"
max-label="Maximum"
min-range="1000"
max-range="2022"
number-of-legend-items-to-show="6"
/>
</div>
<div>
<range-selector
id="rangeSelector1"
min-label="Minimum"
max-label="Maximum"
min-range="1"
max-range="500"
number-of-legend-items-to-show="3"
inputs-for-labels
/>
</div>
<div>
<range-selector
id="rangeSelector2"
min-label="Minimum"
max-label="Maximum"
min-range="1000"
max-range="2022"
number-of-legend-items-to-show="3"
slider-color="#6b5b95"
/>
</div>
<div>
<range-selector
id="rangeSelector3"
min-label="Minimum"
max-label="Maximum"
min-range="1000"
max-range="2022"
hide-label
hide-legend
/>
</div>
I decided to address the issues of the linked answer like the labels using display: none (bad for a11y), no visual focus on the slider, etc., and improve the code by cleaning up event listeners and making it much more dynamic and extensible.
I created this tiny library with many options to customize colors, event names, easily hook into it, make the accessible labels i18n capable and much more. Here it is in a fiddle if you want to play around.
You can easily customize the number of legend items it shows, hide or show the labels and legend, and customize the colors of everything, including the focus color like this.
Example using several of the props:
<range-selector
min-label="i18n Minimum Range"
max-label="i18n Maximum Range"
min-range="5"
max-range="555"
number-of-legend-items-to-show="6"
event-name-to-emit-on-change="my-custom-range-changed-event"
slider-color="orange"
circle-color="#f7cac9"
circle-border-color="#083535"
circle-focus-border-color="#3ec400"
/>
Then in your script:
window.addEventListener('my-custom-range-changed-event', (e) => { const data = e.detail; });
Finally if you see that this is missing something that you need I made it very easy to customize this library.
Simply copy this file and at the top you can see cssHelpers and constants objects that contain most of the variables you would likely want to further customize.
Since I built this with a Native Web Component I have taken advantage of disconnectedCallback and other hooks to clean up event listeners and set things up.

2. new property 'maxGap'
3. added events 'input'/'change'
4. dropped IE/OldEdge support

<% left_width = params[:min].nil? ? 0 : ((params[:min].to_f/100000) * 100).to_i %>
<% left_value = params[:min].nil? ? '0' : params[:min] %>

I have thirty programs that use the same form.
I have the form coded in every single program.
It would be much better to have only one file to change if there is a need to change the form.
I tried inserting the form into my html code,
but it did not work.
This is a portion of the html form file -
document.write("<form name="game">");
document.write("<pre>");
document.write("<textarea name="status" rows="8" cols="16" onfocus="stayAway()">");
document.write("</textarea><br>");
document.write("</pre>");
document.write("<p> <input name="toGuess" onfocus="stayAway()" type="text"> <br>Word to guess.</p>");
document.write("<input value=" A " id="A" onclick="guess('A')" type="button">");
document.write("<input value=" B " id="B" onclick="guess('B')" type="button"html >");
document.write("</form>");
I named it hangman.html and I tried to insert it like this
<script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/hangman.html"></script>
I have other html files in my scripts directory that are called like this, but the form simply does not display. Is it a "form" issue that forms can't be inserted this way?
How do I insert a form into an html program so it can be used in many different programs?
In html page just you have to add class like this and after that you will get the form in same html.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".formContainer").append('<form name="game"> <div><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name"> </div> <div><input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email"></div> <div><textarea name="status" rows="8" cols="16" placeholder="Message"></textarea></div> </form>')
})
.formContainer input{
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
margin: 5px auto;
padding: 5px;
}
.formContainer textarea{
width: 100%;
max-width: 500px;
margin: 5px auto;
padding: 5px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="formContainer"></div>
I like to use PHP, so what you could do is paste your code in an external file, say form.php like:
<?php
echo "<form action.....>
</form>";
?>
Then put this line wherever you want the form to show up:
<?php include 'form.php' ?>
This solution will require you to run Apache though.
you can use this HTML code
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact Form using JavaScript </title>
<!-- include css file here-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/form.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<h1>Contact Form using JavaScript</h1>
<div id="form_sample">
</div>
<!-- include JavaScript file here -->
<script src="js/form.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
next use this javascript code
var x = document.getElementById("form_sample");
var createform = document.createElement('form'); // Create New Element form
createform.setAttribute("action", ""); // Setting action Attribute on form
createform.setAttribute("method", "post"); // Setting method Attribute on form
x.appendChild(createform);
var heading = document.createElement('h2'); // Heading of form
heading.innerHTML = "Contact Form ";
createform.appendChild(heading);
var line = document.createElement('hr'); //giving horizontal row after heading
createform.appendChild(line);
var linebreak = document.createElement('br');
createform.appendChild(linebreak);
var namelabel = document.createElement('label'); // Create Label for name field
namelabel.innerHTML = "Your Name : "; // Set Field Labels
createform.appendChild(namelabel);
var inputelement = document.createElement('input'); // Create input field for name
inputelement.setAttribute("type", "text");
inputelement.setAttribute("name", "fname");
createform.appendChild(inputelement);
var linebreak = document.createElement('br');
createform.appendChild(linebreak);
var emaillabel = document.createElement('label'); //Create Label for email field
emaillabel.innerHTML = "Your Email : ";
createform.appendChild(emaillabel);
var emailelement = document.createElement('input'); // Create input field for email
emailelement.setAttribute("type", "text");
emailelement.setAttribute("name", "demail");
createform.appendChild(emailelement);
var emailbreak = document.createElement('br');
createform.appendChild(emailbreak);
// Append Textarea
var messagelabel = document.createElement('label');
messagelabel.innerHTML = "Your Message : ";
createform.appendChild(messagelabel);
var texareaelement = document.createElement('textarea');
texareaelement.setAttribute("name", "dmessage");
createform.appendChild(texareaelement);
var messagebreak = document.createElement('br');
createform.appendChild(messagebreak);
// Append Submit Button
var submitelement = document.createElement('input');
submitelement.setAttribute("type", "submit");
submitelement.setAttribute("name", "dsubmit");
submitelement.setAttribute("onclick", "showInput();");
submitelement.setAttribute("value", "Submit");
createform.appendChild(submitelement);

this time I am used this.
i hope you can easily understand this code.
I have this html tag which reffers to the backButton provided by the WinJS library:
<button data-win-control="WinJS.UI.BackButton"></button>
I want to change its size. How can I do that? I tried using CSS by adding the ID "backButton" and font-size OR width/height properties, like this:
#backButton {
font-size: small;
}
#backButton {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
}
EDIT: Code added and a picture of what happens when changing the values of width/height of the button.

When using the width/height properties, what happens is that the button does resize to the specified value, but the icon inside (which is not a background) doesn't. http://i.imgur.com/lMqmL0G.png
Possibly you have to set display: inline-block to button because the width of an element with display: inline (the default for buttons) is exactly the same as its content because it only takes up the space needed to display its contents so try with:
With id selector
#backButton {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
display: inline-block;
}
<button id="backButton" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.BackButton"></button>
With style inline
<button data-win-control="WinJS.UI.BackButton" style="width: 30px; height: 30px; display: inline-block"></button>
Try to set the styles to child element .win-back
#backButton .win-back{
/*---styles---*/
}
You haven't given your button an ID. The CSS does not know what tag to link to.
<button id="backButton" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.BackButton"></button>

My motive is to create a progress image while postbacking to the server in mvc3 view. when ever process is running the progress image with background div should popup. the popup should not allow to access controls on the page. for example i have dropdown in my view, when i post back back progess image should come and i should not allow to click on dropdown.
i have tried many ways all are working if it is not postbacking but while postback is happending i am able to click on actual page controls. but i should not allow to click. any help?
the code which i tried is...
<style type="text/css">
.modal
{
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: #f7f7f7;
z-index: 99;
opacity: 0.8;
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
-moz-opacity: 0.8;
min-height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.loading
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10pt;
border: 5px solid #67CFF5;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
display: none;
position: fixed;
background-color: White;
z-index: 999;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowProgress() {
setTimeout(function () {
var modal = $('<div />');
modal.addClass("modal");
$('body').append(modal);
var loading = $(".loading");
loading.show();
var top = Math.max($(window).height() / 2 - loading[0].offsetHeight / 2, 0);
var left = Math.max($(window).width() / 2 - loading[0].offsetWidth / 2, 0);
loading.css({ top: top, left: left });
}, 200);
}
$('form').live("submit", function () {
ShowProgress();
});
<div class="loading" align="center">
Loading. Please wait.<br />
<br />
<img src="loader.gif" alt="" />
you should use jquery UI dialog box for it and set opacity.
you can find some examples here
