I have a form with a text input where I am trying to use 2 jquery functions together. However only one of them seems to work. So I am hoping their might be a jquery guru out there that can help
What I have is a text input box called nickname and also has a id of nickname
What I am doing is when the user types in a nickname into the field I am checking my mysql database to ensure
the nickname is available or not. However I also need this text input box to not allow/accept any spaces which I am trying to do by preventing the spacebar
Here is my code
/*prevent spacekey from putting a space in the text input box that has the id of nickname */
$(#nickname").keyup(function(){
str = $(this).val()
str = str.replace(/\s/g,'')
$(this).val(str)
});
/*below is the code which currently works fine for cheacking the avail of a nickname as its typed*/
pic1 = new Image(16, 16);
pic1.src = "graphics/loader.gif";
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#nickname").change(function() {
var usr = $("#nickname").val();
if(usr.length >= 3)
{
$("#status").html('<img src="http://www.*****.**/loader.gif" align="absmiddle"> Checking availability...');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://www.******.***/inc/check_nickname.inc.php",
data: "nickname="+ usr,
success: function(msg){
$("#status").ajaxComplete(function(event, request, settings){
if(msg == 'OK')
{
$("#nickname").removeClass('object_error'); // if necessary
$("#nickname").addClass("object_ok");
$(this).html(' <img src="http://www.****/graphics/accepted.png" align="absmiddle"> <font color="Green"> Available </font> ');
}
else
{
$("#nickname").removeClass('object_ok'); // if necessary
$("#nickname").addClass("object_error");
$(this).html(msg);
}
});
}
});
}
else
{
$("#status").html('<font color="red">nickname has to be <strong>3</strong> characters or more.</font>');
$("#nickname").removeClass('object_ok'); // if necessary
$("#nickname").addClass("object_error");
}
});
});
//-->
Here is my form field code
<div class='field_container'>
<label>Nickname:</label>
<input id="nickname" type="text" name="nickname" onkeyup="twitter.updateUrl(this.value)" class="inn" value='<?php echo"$nickname";?>' />
http://****.***/profile/<span id="username_url" style="color:#006600; font-weight:bold;"><?php echo "$nickname";?></span>
<div id="status"></div>
</div>
