Auto populate a text field based on another text field
- by Syed Aslam
I am trying to auto-populate a text field based on the value of another input field. Currently trying to do this using observe_field helper like this:
<%= observe_field(
:account_name,
:function => "alert('Name changed!')",
:on => 'keyup'
) %>
<% form_for(@account, :html => { :id => 'theform' }) do |f| %>
<label for="accountname"> Account name </label>
<%= form.text_field :name, :tabindex => '1' %>
<label for="subdomain"> Subdomain </label>
<%= form.text_field :subdomain, :tabindex => '2' %>
<% end %>
When the user enters text in the account_name text_field, I want to copy that convert into a subdomain (downcase and join by '-') and populate to subdomain text_field.
But, in the process getting this error:
element is null
var method = element.tagName.toLowerCase(); protot...9227640 (line 3588)
Where exactly am I going wrong here? Or is there a better way to do this?
