How to use

Set up the html first. Link to Mootools and QTYBox js files:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools-core-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools-more-1.3.2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/qtybox.js"></script>

and link the CSS Style sheet:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

The script working in 2 modes (Insert or Create), what depend on the given 'name' parameter: if the element is available in DOM what has same id with 'name', the script will inject buttons after or before to the element, else if not available they will create and give back the element with the buttons.

Demos

See demo on jsFiddle See demo on Github

Insert

If you have an inputbox on your html page already, you can use this feature on your html page.

Your input field on your html page:

<input type="text" name="quantity_1" id="quantity_1" />

if you dont have an id on your input tag, please add it with your own id, example: quantity_1

Javascript:

window.addEvent("domready", function(){ 
    new QTYBox('quantity_1');
});

Create

Create a full quantitybox object element, and use with your own script. If you use this mode, don't forget to insert an element somewhere in your html.

Javascript:

window.addEvent("domready", function(){ 
    for (i=1;i<6;i=i+1){
        $('container').appendChild(new QTYBox('qty_'+i,{initValue:i,incValue:i,minValue:i,maxValue:i*10} )); 

    }
});

Examples

Events

This example show you how to use change events on the QTYBox.

onChange: Execute a given function when the value changed in the input field

onIncrase: Execute a given function when the value increased in the input field

onDecrase: Execute a given function when the value decrased in the input field

HTML:

<div class="QTYBox">
    <label for="quantity_2">Quantity:</label>
    <input type="text" name="quantity_2" id="quantity_2" />
</div>

Javascript:

window.addEvent("domready", function(){ 
    new QTYBox('quantity_2',{
        onChange: function(qtybox){
            alert('You changed!');
        },
        onIncrase:function(qtybox){
            alert('You clicked Incrase');
        },
        onDecrase:function(qtybox){
            alert('You clicked Decrase');
        } 

    });

});

Styling

You can style QTYBox to you website easyier by CSS Styles.

In create mode, the created element will be a container with "QTYBox" class, and containing the input element.

You can use a following predefined class names for styling (conatiner class name is "QTYBox"):

.QTYBox .up{}
.QTYBox .up_c{}
.QTYBox .up_h{}

.QTYBox .down{}
.QTYBox .down_c{}
.QTYBox .down_h{}

I'm using a single PNG file to animate buttons, and assign a background file and position to predefined class names in your css file, like this:

.QTYBox2 .up,.QTYBox2 .down,.QTYBox2 .up_h,.QTYBox2 .down_h,.QTYBox2 .up_c,.QTYBox2 .down_c{background-image: url(img/qtybox_buttons.png);}
.QTYBox2 .up { background-position:0px 0px;}
.QTYBox2 .down {    background-position:0px 20px;}
.QTYBox2 .up_h { background-position:40px 0px;}
.QTYBox2 .down_h {  background-position:40px 20px;}
.QTYBox2 .up_c { background-position:20px 0px;}
.QTYBox2 .down_c {  background-position:20px 20px;}

Create Date Selector

HTML:

<div id="date-container"></div>

Javascript:

var date = new Date();
$('date-container').appendChild(new QTYBox('date-select-year',{initValue:date.get('year'),incValue:1,minValue:date.get('year')-90,maxValue:date.get('year')} ));
$('date-container').appendChild(new QTYBox('date-select-month',{initValue:date.get('month'),incValue:1,minValue:1,maxValue:12} ));
$('date-container').appendChild(new QTYBox('date-select-day',{initValue:date.get('day'),incValue:1,minValue:1,maxValue:31} ));
