I have the following code :
i = 0;
function add_task(){
return document.getElementById("tasklist").value += (document.getElementById("addtask").value+"\n");
}
#pos{
position: absolute;
bottom: 25px;
text-align:center;
}
form{
padding-left:70px;}
h1{padding:50px; color:blue}
#body {border:5px solid black;} <form name="form1">
<label for="addtask">Add task : </label>
<input type="text" id="addtask"/>
<button id="ad" onclick="add_task()">Add task</button><br><br>
<label style="vertical-align:top;">Task list :</label>
<textarea id="tasklist" rows=10>
</textarea>
<div id="pos">
<label for="nexttask">Next task : </label>
<input type="text" id="nexttask"/>
<button id="nt" onclick="next_task">Show Next task</button><br>
</div>
</form>I need to copy the text entered in textbox and paste in the textarea. But the text is displayed and erased immediately like blinking. I want that to be displayed permanently.
Please guide me!
<button>s, by default are type="submit", so clicking is submitting your form. Add type="button" to your button.
Here's a working version. I think your issue was that buttons within a form will default to type submit if no type is specified.
i = 0;
function add_task(){
return document.getElementById("tasklist").value += (document.getElementById("addtask").value+"\n");
}
function formSubmitted(e) {
// Handle form submit, if needed
return false;
}
function next_task() {
// Not yet implemented
}#pos{
position: absolute;
bottom: 25px;
text-align:center;
}
form{
padding: 1rem;
}
h1{
padding: 1rem;
margin: 0;
color: blue;
}
#body {
border: 5px solid black;
}<header>
<h1>To Do list</h1>
</header>
<form name="form1" onsubmit="return formSubmitted(event)">
<label for="addtask">Add task : </label>
<input type="text" id="addtask"/>
<button id="ad" onclick="add_task()">Add task</button><br><br>
<label style="vertical-align:top;">Task list :</label>
<textarea id="tasklist" rows=10></textarea>
<div id="pos">
<label for="nexttask">Next task : </label>
<input type="text" id="nexttask"/>
<button id="nt" onclick="next_task">Show Next task</button><br>
</div>
</form>
