It’s a nice idea, but the hassle of filling out those “maps” is almost as big a pain as just manually selecting the elements you want and setting the value. Not seeing any really great advantage here.

When I want something to auto populate, I don’t want to have to think about the structure or the mapping of the names of the fields IF I don’t have to. (e.g if the db field names and form field names are the same)

Ultimately, I want to shove some json into an element with a single line of code like $(‘#myform’).autopopulate(json) and be done with it.

Hi,

Just continue sharing.

When you have problem in checkbox value form post because it override by previous action value that couldn’t simply reset by just click or call form reset using javascript, you can consider using this code for override my previous code post

$(":checkbox[name=" + itm.name +"]", $this).each(function() {


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

if(cb == fieldVal){

   $(this).attr("checked", "checked");
}
fieldVal = cb; // reset checkbox value so like the original form value setting

});

Hi,

Just suggestion, in function populatePage(data, db_map)
add approx on line 113
$(":checkbox[name=" + itm.name +"]", $this).each(function() {


	if ($(this).val() == fieldVal) {
		$(this).attr("checked", "checked");
	}
});

it use for populate checkbox that not build by db using sub_map, I just found this because I need to populate checkbox but always fail until I read the script for find what make that not like my expect.

Thanks again for make this plugin available

Fajar,
I placed a new download on Google Code. This file contains the imPopulatePage plugin and the geData.php file that I used in the demo. If you have problems after using the getData.php file, I will look at your code. Les.

May get help from you to examine my testing file especially for data feed because although I have use and make my code like your example page (http://grasshopperpebbles.com/demos/jquery_plugins/imPagePopulate/basic.html) as trial in my localhost I still can’t have result like the expect, hope I don’t bother you about this, Where I can sent the file if you don’t mind? I just wondering where is my fault.

Best regard,
