undefined error

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

Hi this is my first post, thus I hope I am in the right forum. when I load the forum I get an error on page that states permission denied.

My problem:

In jquery I am accessing a form field as follows:

if($("[name=jobs_type]:checked").val() == "neo"))

The page functions fine but it has the error on page message on the bottom left corner of the browser stating jobs_type is undefined.

jobs_type is the name assigned to 3 radio buttons.

Any help in solving the undefined is appreciated.

Hi frommm:

I don't really see any problem so far could you please post your html code or maybe provide a link?

I think I solved the error. The old jquery is the commented "if" statement where the field name (jobs_type) is referenced by itself. The error message line number through me off since it claimed to be at the line mentioned in my post, which uses "name=field_name", while the error was actually referencing the commented line in the code below. The web browser developer tool helped me track down the correct error line number. I guess then that in the jquery you cannot use the field name by itself.

Thanks for your help.

JQuery:

//if (jobs_type == "neo" || jobs_type == "workstudy") {
if ($("[name=jobs_type]:checked").val() == "workstudy" || $("[name=jobs_type]:checked").val() == "neo") {
  $(".workstudy").show();
        document.form.action="mod_update.php?approve";
    } else {
  $(".workstudy").hide();
}

HTML/PHP: The radio buttons in code block 2 control the display of the textarea tags in code block 1.

<? if ($val["employer_type"]=="On Campus" || ($val["employer_type"]=="Off Campus" && ($val["jobs_workstudy"]=="t" || $val["jobs_neo"]=="t"))){?>
                            <tr align="left" valign="top" style="display:none;" class="workstudy">
                              <td colspan="2"><strong>Educational Benefits:</strong><br><textarea name="jobs_benefits" cols="78" rows="4" class="liten"><?=$val["jobs_benefits"]?></textarea><br />
                            </tr>
                            <tr align="left" valign="top" style="display:none;" class="workstudy">
                              <td colspan="2"><strong>Min. Qualifications:</strong><br><textarea name="jobs_qualifications" cols="78" rows="4" class="liten" ><?=$val["jobs_qualifications"]?></textarea><br />
                            </tr>
                            <? } ?>
<? if ($val["workstudy_eligible"]=="t" or $val["employer_type"]=='On Campus'){ ?>
         <strong>Work Study: </strong>

        <input name="jobs_type" type="radio" class="liten" value="workstudy"<? if ($val["jobs_workstudy"] == 't')

         { echo ' checked';} ?> />

           <? if ($val["employer_type"]=='On Campus'){ ?>
