I have a simple question regarding jAutoCalc, my question can be answered in two ways:
1> How to customize the jAutoCalc plugin so that we can make it able to be used for input array names instead of just names. my code is here:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://rawgit.com/c17r/jAutoCalc/master/jAutoCalc.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
$(document).ready(function() {
function autoCalcSetup() {
$('form[name=cart]').jAutoCalc('destroy');
$('form[name=cart] tr[name=line_items]').jAutoCalc({
keyEventsFire: true,
decimalPlaces: 2,
emptyAsZero: true
});
$('form[name=cart]').jAutoCalc({
decimalPlaces: 2
});
}
autoCalcSetup();
$('button[name=remove]').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var form = $(this).parents('form')
$(this).parents('tr').remove();
autoCalcSetup();
});
$('button[name=add]').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $table = $(this).parents('table');
var $top = $table.find('tr[name=line_items]').first();
var $new = $top.clone(true);
$new.jAutoCalc('destroy');
$new.insertBefore($top);
$new.find('input[type=text]').val('');
autoCalcSetup();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="cart">
<table name="cart">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Qty</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th> </th>
<th>Item Total</th>
</tr>
<tr name="line_items">
<td><button name="remove">Remove</button></td>
<td>Stuff</td>
<td><input type="text" name="qty" value="1"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="price" value="9.99"></td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="item_total" value="" jAutoCalc="{qty} * {price}"></td>
</tr>
<tr name="line_items">
<td><button name="remove">Remove</button></td>
<td>More Stuff</td>
<td><input type="text" name="qty" value="2"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="price" value="12.50"></td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="item_total" value="" jAutoCalc="{qty} * {price}"></td>
</tr>
<tr name="line_items">
<td><button name="remove">Remove</button></td>
<td>And More Stuff</td>
<td><input type="text" name="qty" value="3"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="price" value="99.99"></td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="item_total" value="" jAutoCalc="{qty} * {price}"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"> </td>
<td>Subtotal</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="sub_total" value="" jAutoCalc="SUM({item_total})"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"> </td>
<td>
Tax:
<select name="tax">
<option value=".06">CT Tax</option>
<option selected value=".00">Tax Free</option>
</select>
</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="tax_total" value="" jAutoCalc="{sub_total} * {tax}"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"> </td>
<td>Total</td>
<td> </td>
<td><input type="text" name="grand_total" value="" jAutoCalc="{sub_total} + {tax_total}"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="99"><button name="add">Add Row</button></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
since the names are same for dynamically generated input's i want use input array. The problem is that if i do so then I'm unable to use the plugin features!
2> The question can be answered in second way by providing methods to use plugin while using input arrays
I know its an old post but maybe others may have same issue.
Try to open jautocalc.js find this function "getFieldSelector(field)" and edit this code.
return ':input[name="' + field + '"]';
to
return ':input[name="' + field + '[]"]';
