javascript won't populate text field when called

matt-dublin

Hi,

i hav this javascript which reads information, strips it down and i want it to repopulate the field on keyup.

i know its being called as i can get it to write the data to a span but not to a text box value:

[HTML]$("#voter_ID").keyup(function (e) {

//removes spaces from voter_ID field
$(this).val($(this).val().replace(/\s/g, ''));

var voter_ID = $(this).val();

if(voter_ID.substring(0, 1) == "%" && voter_ID.length >= 4) {
var cardnumber = voter_ID.substring(voter_ID.lastIndexOf(";")+1,voter_ID.lastIndexOf(";")+19);
//var cardnumber = voter_ID.split("?")[0];
$("#swipe-result").html('<br />' && cardnumber);

$("tester").val(cardnumber);

//$("#voter_ID").val(cardnumber);
}

//if the number doesn't match a certain length ignore it.
//if(voter_ID.length != 4 || voter_ID.length != 16 || voter_ID.length != 32) {
//$.post('useridfail.php',{'voter_ID':voter_ID},function(data) {
//$("#user-result").html('<img src="imgs/not-available.png"><br /><span class="error-text">Invalid Clubcard or till receipt</span>');
//});
//}
$("#user-result").html('<img src="imgs/ajax-loader.gif" style="margin-bottom:4px;" />');
delay(function() {

if(voter_ID.length != 4 || voter_ID.length != 16 || voter_ID.length != 18 || voter_ID.length != 32) {
$("#user-result").html('<img src="imgs/not-available.png" style="margin-bottom:4px;" onload="timedRefresh(5000)" /><br /><span class="error-text">Invalid Clubcard or till receipt</span>' && '');
}


if(voter_ID.length == 4 || voter_ID.length == 16 || voter_ID.length == 18 || voter_ID.length == 32){

$.post('check_username.php', {'voter_ID':voter_ID}, function(data) {
$("#user-result").html(data);
});
}

}, 1200);





});
});
[/HTML]

I'm trying to get it to write the card number variable back to the voter_ID or tester text box.

any help much appreciated.

thanks
