Basic js - document.write to val(

[amanxman]

Hi,

I have the following:

.....
document.write(hours + minutes + day + month + year)

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('#purchase_order').val('xxxxxxxx');
....

I want to populate the xxxxxx with the result of the document.write

I.e. I am generating a variable which is time & date, and want that in the val('xxxx') field

It's probably very simple, but I'm short on js skills - thinking need to define the time/date as a variable and then populate that into val('') somehow?

Many thanks in advance
Rob

document.write outputs to screen, if you want to place it into something else use variable, or write it directly in there.

var timeDate=hours + minutes + day + month + year;
jQuery('#purchase_order').val(timeDate);

or more simply:

jQuery('#purchase_order').val(hours + minutes + day + month + year);

Perfect, thank you. Knew it'd be simple!
