Changing text of input field on click

Question

Objective

• In my if-else statement when a .player has the class picked.is-inactive the text of the input field should be blank, but right now it's the name of last clicked player.
• Right now, when a player is selected all 20 input fields have their text changed to the player last clicked. However, the name of the first player with picked.is-active should be put into the first input field #p1 and so on until all 20 players have been selected and the 20 input fields are filled.

scripts.js

// Every time a player is clicked, note the name of the player
$(".player").on("click", function(){

    // Get the name of that player, only if picked.is-active
    // Put the text of that player into the appropriate input field

    if ($(this).find("picked.is-active")) {
        var playerName = $(this).find(".player__name").html();
        $("input").val(playerName);
        console.log(playerName);
    } else {
        $("input").val("")
    }
});

Answer 1

you need to tell what specific textbox should update.

// Every time a player is clicked, note the name of the player
$(".player").on("click", function(){
    var playerNames = [];
    $("input:text").each(function(i, t) { playerNames.push(t.value) });

    if ($(this).find("picked.is-active")) {
        var playerName = $(this).find(".player__name").html();
        var index = playerNames.indexOf(playerName);

        if(index == -1) // add player
            $("input:text:eq(" + playerNames.indexOf("") + ")").val(playerName);
        else // remove player
            $("input:text:eq(" + index + ")").val("");           
    } else {
        $("input").val("");
    }
});

Explanation

on each click, getting all text box values into an arry playerNames using $.each loop

then check the active (or clicked) playerName already exists in the playerNames array or not.

if not exists (i.e index == -1) then add it to next empty textbox

playerNames.indexOf("") brings the index of next empty textbox

else remove it from the textbox where it exists.

Hope this helps!.
