insert text to end of all textareas

[premium copy]

Hi,

I would like to add '\r\r' to the end of the textbox entries when the user hits submit. Seems like an easy thing but I cannot find the answers.

I did find some code that inputs it based on the textbox name field but I just want it on all textboxes and inputs on the form.

The form is a mailto in plaintext(dont ask) so I am trying to improve the email layout by adding carriage returns.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript> 
function DisplayEvent(eventName){    
   var myMessage = window.document.formID.textboxname.value;  
   myMessage = myMessage + eventName;    
   window.document.FormID.textboxname.value = myMessage;

} </SCRIPT>

onChange="DisplayEvent('\r'\r);"

Thanks!!

Save yourself some headaches and use jQuery. The code (off the top of my head so maybe not 100%):

$('textarea').each(function(){ $(this).val( $(this).val() + '\n\n'  ); });

Thanks, it does work but can it be set to work onsubmit? Instead when clicking to the textarea it drops the two carriage returns instead of having the carriage returns after the comments.

Place the code in the form's submit handler:

$('#myForm').on('submit',function(){
  /* ... submit handler code here... */ 
});

(Be sure the code is in the onload or ready handler.)

I am not sure I caught that...

So

$('#myForm').on('submit',function(){   
{ $(this).val( $(this).val() + '\n\n'  ); });   
}); 

What would would be written within the onsubmit? return myForm();

Nothing. Embedding script inside the structural markup is an unsophisticated and naive approach and is not recommend. (Look up Unobtrusive JavaScript).

The .on() method of jQuery handles binding event handlers.
