how to insert value in input, with javascript



So I tried to do something like this -







$('#price').val(price);







price is 300, and it shows good on browser, in input field, but when I want to take it out and mail it with PHP, in $_POST['price'] it doesn't show up, How can I insert something in inputs value with JavaScript, so I can mail it? It seems this is not an insertion in value, but just a feature to display something, correct?

  1. There are a few possible reasons:

    1) Your input field is not inside the form.
    2) You are actually using a GET and not a POST.

    Assuming that you can see the value updated in Firebug or Chrome's equivalent, it's gotta be one of those. Switch over to using $_REQUEST and see if that changes anything.

  2. Your input for #price needs to also have a name "price"

    <input id="price" value="price" />


    From your question I'm assuming that this input is hidden -- and if that's the case I want to advise you not to rely on hidden fields + Javascript to provide you with security. It's so easily hackable I wouldn't even call it hacking.

  3. Make sure the input is not "disabled" when the form submits.

    if it's disabled the form don't send it.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
