Cross from PerlMonks, see bottom.
UPDATE: Perhaps the best way to do this is through HTML or JavaScript(I know nothing of these)?
Objective
After the whole code is run and an output is given, I'd like to provide a hyperlink to re-run the code, with the same search word, but different radio buttons pressed.
Here is a portion of my CGI script, related to the user input:
my $search_key = param('query');
my $c_verb = param('verb_only');
my $c_enabling = param('enabling');
my $c_subject = param('subject');
my $c_object = param('object');
my $c_prep = param('prep');
my $c_adj = param('adjective');
my $c_modnoun = param('modnoun');
my $category_id;
if ($c_verb eq 'on')
{
if ($c_enabling eq 'on')
{$category_id = 'xcomp';}
elsif ($c_subject eq 'on')
{$category_id = 'subj';}
elsif ($c_object eq 'on')
{$category_id = 'obj';}
elsif ($c_prep eq 'on')
{$category_id = 'prep';}
I don't have access to the HTML, but from viewing the source code, all the $c_... have the form:
<input type="checkbox" name="verb_only" onClick="ch...
The "unseen" in the title is referring to no appended name/tag value pairs, so I don't know what to change, Where can I find this information?
I was thinking of changing $c_enabling to $c_subject and another link to a case where it was as if $c_prep was chosen from the user. Is there a way to substitute the name-value pairs of that single param? (So user inputs options, runs, instead of going back to input different ones, just click hyperlink, because some options stay the same)
The URL of the form is like: http://concept.whatever.com/test.html and the output is at the URL: http://concept.whatever.com/cgi-bin/search2011.cgi
My attempt
See posted answer
UPDATE: I've tried `url(-query) but nothing was appended to the end...
Thanks for any advice. Let me know if this is not clear.

If the method of the HTML is changed to GET instead of POST:
<form name="search_option" action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/mytestsearch2011.cgi" method="get">
Then the tags can be viewed (I had to copy the source code and do this on my localhost to check them)
I was able to find out what tags and values to put, b/c get method. So here is the working code:
if ($category_id eq "xcomp") {
my $subjurl = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mytestsearch2011.cgi?query=$search_key&verb_only=on&subject=on&exclude0=&exclude1=&exclude2=&exclude3=";
print qq(Subject\n)." ";
my $objurl = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mytestsearch2011.cgi?query=$search_key&verb_only=on&object=on&exclude0=&exclude1=&exclude2=&exclude3=";
print qq(Object\n)." ";
my $prepurl = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mytestsearch2011.cgi?query=$search_key&verb_only=on&prep=on&exclude0=&exclude1=&exclude2=&exclude3=";
print qq(Preposition\n)."<br><br>";
}
elsif ($category_id eq "subj") { ##List urls other than what is currently output:
my $enablingurl = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/mytestsearch2011.cgi?query=$search_key&verb_only=on&enabling=on&exclude0=&exclude1=&exclude2=&exclude3=";
print qq(Enabling Function\n)." ";
...
I don't understand all the exclude tags, but that's okay...
UPDATE: This works with POST as well, I just needed to know all the tags that came after the URL. Thanks!

My goal is to create a pre-written code - or function - that I can apply to multiple questions, where I only need to fill in the information shown on the lower half. The top half code must remain general, because I do not want to replace pieces of the code every time I use it, and would rather have it do so automatically, making it Reusable.
At the moment my code keeps repeating itself even when I type in the correct answers ('Fully', 'Partially', 'None')
def enter_preset_option():
global subj_desc
subj_desc = input(question)
i = 0
while i < len(options):
if str(subj_desc.lower()) == options[i]:
print("Great!")
break
else:
print("Invalid input. Please try again!")
i += 1
enter_preset_option()
question = "Is the property fully fenced or partially fenced? (Answer 'Fully', 'Partially' or 'None'): "
options = ['fully', 'partially', 'none']
attribute = "Fenced"
enter_preset_option()
fenced = subj_desc
print(fenced)
When using .setChoices() It looks for an array of created choices. If it is a multiple choice question it can be formatted either createChoice(value) or createChoice(value, navigationType).
When looking at a choice you put in something like: var cPage = chkItem.getChoices()[j].getGotoPage();
This will produce either the page object or a Null value.
The problem is when a question is set to "go to page based on answer" and they have not set a page for every entry, and left the default to continue it also reads it (in my case cPage), as null. This means if I want to go through each choice to capture it, modify it, then push it back out to the question, it my ending Array that I push out consists of both Null and Objects, which produces an error.
My workaround for questions without pages is for the script to forcibly change the question to handle page navigation but set everyone to CONTINUE.
I would like to find a way to check if the question has "go to page based on answer" checked and if not then be able to create choices using just the value.
Figured it out: I need to check the first choice if it has a PageNavigationType(). If it does then the box is checked. If null then it is not checked. I have not written the code to fully test this but the theory should work. (I was checking against just the goToPage type which is why it didn't work before. )
var choicecount = chkItem.getChoices().length-1;
var hasNavType = chkItem.getChoices()[0].getPageNavigationType(); //if null
for (var j = 0; j <= choicecount; ++j) {
var cValue = chkItem.getChoices()[j].getValue();
var cPage = chkItem.getChoices()[j].getGotoPage();
var cNav = chkItem.getChoices()[j].getPageNavigationType();
// Logger.log(j+" "+cPage);
if (cValue != reValues[0]){
if (hasNavType == null){
newChoices.push(chkItem.createChoice(cValue));
} else {
if (cPage == null){
newChoices.push(chkItem.createChoice(cValue,cNav));
} else {
newChoices.push(chkItem.createChoice(cValue,cPage));
}
}
}
}
I'm pretty new to MVC and I'm having a hard understanding how to get the values (basically the IDs) to checkboxes that I'm generating. Here are my checkboxes:
<div id='myCheckboxDiv'>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="checkAll(this)">Check All
#foreach (var form in #Model.DetailObject.DoaFormGroupDocuments)
{
<br>
var checkBoxId = "chk" + form.DocumentId;
#Html.CheckBox(checkBoxId, new { value = form.DocumentId, #checked = true });
#form.DocumentName;
}
</div>
Essentially what I want to do is get the ID to which ever checkbox is checked and save it in to a list after I click a save button at the bottom of the page.
I have run across something like this to handle everything but I'm not quite sure how to use it really...
var values = $('#myCheckboxDiv').find('input:checkbox:checked').map(function () {
// get the name ..
var nameOfSelectedItem = this.attr('name');
// skip the ‘chk’ part and give me the rest
return nameOfSelectedItem.substr(3);
}).get();
The only thing you need to think about is the value of the name attribute your checkbox(es) will have. The way you're handling it right now, your post body is going to have a fairly randomized collection of chkN-named parameters, where N is some number. The modelbinder will need something similarly named as a parameter to your action method in order to bind the posted values to something useful. That's a tall order for something that will be some what variable (the DocumentId values).
The best option would be to set up your checkboxes, instead, as a collection, which means giving them names chk[0], chk[1], etc. Then in your action you can accept a parameter like List<string> chk, and that will contain a list of all the values that were posted.
I have a list of products which are shown with pagination and I can filter the display of the products using check boxes. The problem is it can only displays the value from check box at first page, and if i go to the next page, i will lose the check box checked's value. Please help me how to solve this. I don't know where should I put input hidden and how to write Java Script. Here's my code:
<input id="checkbox_brand" type="checkbox" name="checkbox_brand[<? echo $data_brand[brand_name]; ?>]" value="<? echo $data_brand[brand_name]; ?>"/>
if (isset($_POST["checkbox_brand"])){
foreach($_POST["checkbox_brand"] as $status_a) {
$status_sql[] = '\''.$status_a.'\'';
}
$status = implode(',',$status_sql);
session_start();
$_SESSION["selected"]=$status;
}
if (session_is_registered("selected")){
-->my query
}
Each time you press a check box you'll have to use dictionary array in JavaScript
For example:
if I use the example page you gave, then when pressing a check box inside "Categories"
you'll have to put a value inside correct variable.
// Initialize Objects
var userChoice = {};
userChoice.Catagories = {};
userChoice.Brands = {};
userChoice.ScreenSize = {};
.
.
.
// Pressing check box will trigger the bellow
userChoice.Categories["LG"] = 0;
userChoice.Categories["Sharp"] = 1;
userChoice.Categories["Sony"] = 1;
userChoice.Brands["LcdTV"] = 1;
userChoice.Brands["LedTV"] = 0;
Each checkbox press will also trigger the following JavaScript
document.getElementById("userChoiceHiddenField").value = JSON.sringify("userChoice");
When submitting the page or going to the next page the hidden value will contain the JSON string, so you can parse it as JSON again.
Server Side: (.NET)
string userChoiceHiddenField = request["userChoiceHiddenField"].ToString();
and then take the value you got and place it back in the hidden field and the JavaScript value as follows:
userChoice = JSON.parse(document.getElementById("userChoiceHiddenField").value);
Hope that answers your question.
just wondering, how can I get the value of a hidden element using watir? This is the element:
<input type="hidden" value="randomstringhere" id="elementid" name="elementname" />
And this is my code atm:
require "rubygems"
require "watir-webdriver"
$browser = Watir::Browser.new :ff
$browser.goto("http://www.site.com")
$grabelement = $browser.hiddens(:id, "elementid")
$blah = $grabelement.attribute_value("value")
puts $blah
This gets stuck at the last line, where it returns
code.rb:6:in `<main>': undefined method `attribute_value' for #<Watir::HiddenCollection:0x8818adc> (NoMethodError)
Sorry for the basic question, I've had a search and couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!
Problem
Your code is quite close. The problem is the line:
$grabelement = $browser.hiddens(:id, "elementid")
This line says to get a collection (ie all) of hidden elements that have id "elementid". As the error message says, the collection does not have the attribute_value method. Only elements (ie the objects in the collection) have the method.
Solution (assuming single hidden with matching id)
Assuming that there is only one, you should just get the first match using the hidden instead of hiddens (ie drop the s):
$grabelement = $browser.hidden(:id, "elementid")
$blah = $grabelement.value
puts $blah
#=> "randomstringhere"
Note that for the value attribute, you can just do .value instead of .attribute_value('value').
Solution (if there are multiple hiddens with matching id)
If there actually are multiple, then you can iterate over the collection or just get the first, etc:
#Iterate over each hidden that matches
browser.hiddens(:id, "elementid").each{ |hidden| puts hidden.value }
#Get just the first hidden in the collection
browser.hiddens(:id, "elementid").first.value
