Custom HTML - Javascript - check if two text fields are the same

Confluence User - 28 Apr, 2016

Hi Masters,

I have a question, I would like to check if two text fields are the same.

If they are the same, then in the field "check" I would like to see "YES". I was trying to write some javascript but without success. Can you have a look into this one please?

Field:

status_current

status_new

check

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('input[name="status_current"], input[name="status_new"]').change( function(){
          d1 = $('input[name="status_current"]').val();
          d2 = $('input[name="status_new"]').val();
          diff = "NO";
          if (d1 == d2) {
                diff = "YES"; 
          }
          $('input[name=check]').val(diff);
    });
});
</script>

One is a input tag. One is a select tag.

d1 = $('input[name="status_current"]').val();
d2 = $('input[name="status_new"]').val();

Instead of using these code above, use what is posted in Reading Select Box value so that you don't need to worry about the type of tags.

Hi Bastiana, thanks for feedback, I followed your suggestion , but no luck.

Any additional idea?

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('input[name="status_current"], input[name="status_new"]').change( function(){
          
          var d1 = FormUtil.getField("status_current");
          var d2 = FormUtil.getField("status_new");

          diff = "NO";
          if (d1 == d2) {
                diff = "YES";
          }
      $('input[name=check]').val(diff);

    });
});
</script>

Hi All,

I have managed to make it work, if there's a place to optimize, please share your suggestions.

Thanks,

Sylwester

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).change(function(){
        var d1 = "status_new";
        var d2 = "status_current";
        var fieldId = "check";
 
 //get values

        var d3 = $('[name='+d1+']:enabled').val();
        var d4 = $('[name='+d2+']:enabled').val();
        
//function to compare

          diff = "NO";
          if (d3 == d4) {
           diff = "YES";
          }
 
        //store the value to a field
        $('[name='+fieldId+']:enabled').val(diff);
    });
</script>
