Hi All

I am trying to set a value into a textbox which is in a div that is created with a Javascript function, can you please review my code and tell me why I am getting errors and incorrect values.

JavaScript

var searchaddress = document.getElementById('autocomplete').value;
document.getElementById('C_I_add').nodeValue = searchaddress;
var popup = $('<div><h1>Coverage Issue Log</h1><br>
<p> Name <input  type="text" onkeyup="" id="Name" style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px"/></p>
//This is the textbox I am trying to assign the value searchaddress
<br><p> Coverage Issue address <input  type="text" readonly="readonly" id="C_I_add" value = searchaddress style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px"/></p><br>
<p> Comments <textarea  type="text" id="Comments" rows="5" style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px"/></p><br>
<p> Cellphone Number <input  type="text" onkeyup="" id="CellNo" style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px"/></p></div>').dialog({
                'autoOpen': false,
                'width': 600,
                'height': 600,
                'resizable': false,
                'modal': true,
                'title': name,
                dialogClass: 'Dialog-Class'

what error you are getting?

mlingo209 20-May-13 5:55am

the word searchaddress appears as the value in the textbox and not the value in the variable

Which variable are talking about?

this: var searchaddress = document.getElementById('autocomplete').value;
the text value of the text box autocomplete is suppose to be populated in searchaddress
then i want it to appear here
<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="C_I_add" value = searchaddress style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px"/>

<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="C_I_add" value="searchaddress" style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px" />

In this line your searchaddress variable is inside the string as text, you should break the string and concatenate the variable to the string like this:

<input type="text" readonly="readonly" id="C_I_add" value="' + searchaddress +  '" style=" width: 300px; margin-left: 30px" />

Notice that I'm closing the string with ' and concatenate the variable with the +

And on other note, if I recall correctly Javascript is not too fond of breaking strings with line breaks
