Re: On keydown form input alert message

anna carolina_caro · ‎04-05-2021

Hi all,

I have a contact form that I´d like to create an alert message on text input keydown and I can´t make it work.

I´d tried to follow some solutions as below but nothing happens.

$('#mobile').on('input',function(e){

if($(this).data("lastval")!= $(this).val()){

$(this).data("lastval",$(this).val());

//change action

alert(‘my message.');

};

});

I´d also tried solutions as https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_onkeydown_onkeyup but it causes other js to stop working on site when I use it like that onkeydown="keydownFunction()" in my input directly.

can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Hello @anna carolina_caro ,

Trust you are doing well.

Checkout this code and try again.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
	$('#mobile').on('input',function(e){
      if($(this).data("lastval")!= $(this).val()){
		  $(this).data("lastval",$(this).val());
  		  alert('my message.'); 
     } 
    	
   });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<input type="text" id="mobile" >


</body>
</html>

Hope this helps you,

@zoyascootg16c3 Thanks for replying!

I´d tested and the alert showed but it crashed some functions on my site.

It seems that what makes it crash was the googleapi script

because if I delete it functions start working again but of course the alert stoped showing.

Any other idea on how to create this alert without the googleapi script?
