Re: how to create a textbox with numeric value

vivek_manoj · ‎12-23-2019

I have created a textbox input type in a dashboard.

I want to limit that user can enter only numeric value in a textbox.

@vivek_manoj

I suggest you to go with HTML tag. Check below XML.

<dashboard>
  <label>TextBox</label>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <input type="number" />
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
</dashboard>

Hi Kamlesh,

Thanks for replying but in that case, how can we pass the value from the box to the panel.

As the box is inside html tag.

You have to set textbox value into token value, using javascript, which you can use in table.

You have to trigger set/get token on change/lost focus of the textbox. check below link for javascript reference. Still you need any assistance then let us know.

Hi

Check this

<form>
  <label>textbox</label>
     <fieldset submitButton="false">
     <input type="text" token="number">
       <label>Add threshold</label>
       <change>
         <condition match="match(value, &quot;^[0-9]+$&quot;)">>
           <set token="form.number">$value$</set>
         </condition>
         <condition>
           <unset token="form.number"></unset>
         </condition>
       </change>
     </input>
   </fieldset>
</form>

Hi Ravi,

I have tried your above code, but I was looking that it wouldn't allow to enter the non-numberic data at all in the text box.

I can see its allowing to enter non-numberic data as well as not to pass the value in the url.

Hi

Try the below code:

<form script="test.js">
  <label>textbox</label>
     <fieldset submitButton="false">
     <input type="text" token="number" id="digits">
       <label>Add threshold</label>
     </input>
   </fieldset>
</form>

Javascript: test.js

require(["jquery",
"splunkjs/mvc",
"splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!"], 
function($,mvc) {

    $("#digits [data-test='textbox']").keyup(function () { 
        this.value = this.value.replace(/[^0-9\.]/g,'');
    });
});
