How can i get the values of dynamically created text boxes that i have reload every time a user adds a new text box?
Right now what I have is a form with a few text boxes, and an add button, now when the a user clicks add button, it creates another section with a few more text boxes, but now if the user had typed something in one of the text boxes before he clicked add, how can i store that information and make sure it comes back up when the page reloads?
Thank you,

I know this is a low level question, but I am "annoyed" that on my forms which are for read only purposes, i cannot figure out how to remove the drop down Arrow box on fields which are linked to a list of records..
Does anyone know if this can be done??
If you have a Lookup Field in Access and in the Design View of a form you drag it from the field list onto a form you'll get a Combo Box control. Combo Boxes have the little drop-down arrow tacked onto the end.
To get rid of the drop-down arrow simply replace the Combo Box control with a Text Box control. That is, create a Text Box control on the form and set its Control Source property to the name of the lookup field, then delete the Combo Box control. The Text Box control will display the selected value(s) of the lookup field but will not allow you to edit them.
There is an easier method than Gord Thompson's. This is in Access 2010 and may be applicable to other versions. In either Design or Layout View, right click on the combo box control and go to "Change To" then select text box.
I'm new. I've determined I cannot make a label "active" and accept keyboard input, so I am trying text fields instead. Seeking advice as to how to kill off the built in keyboard when the user taps the text field, as I want to use my own keyboard (a series of images).
I can determine the active text field (textfield.editing == yes), but when I will kill of the keyboard it seems it also kills off the ability to enter any data into that text field.
Maybe I need to just "hide" the keyboard? Send it off the screen?
OK, I found a way to make this happen. I created some transparent buttons, and laid those over the top of the labels. When the button gets clicked, it designates the label below it should be the active label.
In a separate method, the users text runs thru a few conditions to determine which label (as designated by the transparent button) is active, and the text goes into that label.
I have a form in WordPress that has a dynamically generated text box so the user can enter multiple text boxes. This works fine but if the user presses the save/update button multiple times it is saving multiples of the same data from these generated text boxes.
I tried a JavaScript solution to disable the button once pressed which works, my data saves correctly from the generated text boxes but then if it is a new post only it ever saves as a draft.
Is there a solution?
Instead of using disable on the #publish button, .hide(); worked instead.
I have a custom TextInput that listens for the FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN and FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT events:
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusInHandler);
textDisplay.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOutHandler);
My onFocusInHandler function basically removes a "promptview" that tells the user to type in a value, with the onFocusOutHandler doing the opposite.
For example, if the TextInput text was backspaced to a blank value and the user clicks out of the TextInput box, it would show a "Please enter a value" light-gray prompt in the TextInput.
This works fine until the user clicks our custom "Clear" button. The clear button sets the text to "", and I can tell the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT is received because the prompt text is set to visible (its not being set anywhere else). The problem is, the cursor remains in the box as if it still has focus, so if the user immediately starts typing, both the prompt text "Please enter a value" and the user-entered text appears over the gray text, which looks pretty ugly and unreadable.
Why does the TextInput receive the FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT event if it's not actually losing focus? Is there any way I can get around this?
Option 1. Use the Spak TextInput in Flex 4.1 or 4.5. This already provides a promptDisplay by default (as mentioned in the comments)
Option 2. Take a look at the focus-skin. This skin class is usually placed on top of the normal skin. There could exist some focus ambiguity between these two. Try using a custom focus-skin without a textDisplay and clear button.
Option 3. Not only use a focus event to show or hide the prompt, but also look at the content of the TextInput. You don't want to display a prompt when the text is set by binding as wel.
I use VS2010,C# to develop ASP.NET web app, I have some two text boxes, two buttons and a checkbox in one of my pages, but I want one of my text boxes to have initial focus when page loads, so that cursors blinks in this text box and when users presses keys, this text box receives keys, I've changed tab index of my controls so that the desired text box has tab index = 0, but still no luck, what should I do?
Ideally tabIndex property should work. If not then you can manually set the focus by writing a small piece of javascript/jQuery code. For more : How do you automatically set the focus to a textbox when a web page loads?
