jquery 1.6 code into a form_input() ?

[eluser]brucebat[/eluser]
Hi all,

I have been experimenting with this piece of javascript using jquery 1.6.2

http://jsfiddle.net/nNpjm/

Now I want to include it in the form_input() field by passing it as a variable with javascript inside?

However it does not seem to work using this:

Code:

$script = "input.click(function()
            {

            $(this).prop({selectionStart: 0, selectionEnd: 0});

            })
            
            .keydown(function()
            {

                var sel = $(this).prop('selectionStart'),
                val = $(this).val(),
                newsel = sel === 2 ? 3: sel;
                newsel = sel === 5 ? 6: newsel;

                $(this).val(val.substring(0, newsel) + val.substring(newsel + 1))

            .prop({
                selectionStart: newsel,
                selectionEnd: newsel
            });
            });";
            




echo form_input ($timeparam, set_value ('time'.$i), $script);

This is the html source is all messed up

Code:

<input type="text" name="time1" value="00:00:00" id="time1" maxlength="8" input.click(function()
            {

            $(this).prop({selectionStart: 0, selectionEnd: 0});

            })
            
            .keydown(function()
            {

                var sel = $(this).prop('selectionStart'),
                val = $(this).val(),
                newsel = sel === 2 ? 3: sel;
                newsel = sel === 5 ? 6: newsel;

                $(this).val(val.substring(0, newsel) + val.substring(newsel + 1))

            .prop({
                selectionStart: newsel,
                selectionEnd: newsel
            });
            }); />

Do I need to do it another way for this to work?

It uses onclick and keypush

Why not putting just an id attribute at input, then assign an inline script to handle that?
