Two Text Fields in a Form

09-04-2015 11:23PM #1

Ok I thought this was the best place to post this.

I have a form.....with a hidden text field and a text field for posting messages.

The Hidden field is used for Headlines which I want to come through identifying where it came from and whom if the person forgets to put that in the message.

The thing is I do not want a comma separating the two when it comes through.

Example:

HEADLINE , This is the message

I don't know even the search term to trawl through google....is it possible to remove this comma or even replace it with a dash "-" instead?

thanks

Which language?

if its java something like...

String beforeString = "Stuff,moreStuff";
String afterString = beforeString.replace(",", " ")

This replaces the comma with a space, effectively removing the comma. Put the dash where the space is to do the desired if thats what you prefer.

The two inputs have the same name or id, this will cause them to concat together with a ",".
Give the inputs unique names.

ah ok....that explains it.....I can't give them the same name as they are for a Push Notification...

I will have to live with it I suppose.....thanks lads.

I mean, two inputs with the same name will cause the issue, the solution is to give them unique names, can you show a excerpt of the HTML?
