I have the following function:
function updateInput(ish){
document.getElementById("BetAmount").value = ish;
}
I have the following HTML inputs:
<input class="defaultText" type="number" name="BetAmount" id="BetAmount" onchange="updateInput(this.value)">
<input type="number" name="PotentialGain" id="PotentialGain" />
When users enter in a bet amount number(BetAmount
), I would like to instantly show a calculated PotentialGain
, which, for example, can be found by multiplying a constant by the specified bet amount entered in by the user.
I'm not very familiar with JavaScript, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Your code is almost correct - you are showing the result in the BetAmount
field so no change is visible.
Change your code to:
document.getElementById("PotentialGain").value = ish;
Here's a working demo. I changed the event to onkeyup
as onchange
only happens on blur - i.e. when a field loses focus.
Here is the final JQuery function that I used.
function changeBet(bet) {
var moneyline = <?php echo json_encode($win) ?>;
var gain = moneyline * bet;
document.getElementById("PotentialGain").value = gain;
}
Along with these inputs:
<input type="text" name="BetAmount[]" id="BetAmount" onkeyup="changeBet(this.value);" >
<input type="number" name="PotentialGain" id="PotentialGain" />
