Perchance - Create a Random Text Generator @lemmy.world Mack2 @lemmy.world 2w ago

Noob Question

Let me start by saying thank you to all of the people who have made creating a t2i page quick and easy. The t2i framework makes itba snap to get a page up and running. I am a complete noob to coding so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing but I'm doing it with confidence lol.

The question: Is there a way to pass the prompt data from a select input directly into a paragraph (description) box. I know modifiers can do it but I would like to try something different (for me). I'd like to try a gen option, using the t2i framework, where a user can see in real-time what is being added to the prompt without having to use modifiers to do so.

Thanks for any productive responses. Please go easy on the new guy. I can't be doing all that bad as I've had over 22k views in a couple of weeks. 😁

Thanks, Mack

<input type="text" id="shownHere"> <select id="userChoosesHere" onchange="document.getElementById('shownHere').value=this.value;">

Something like this?
- Honestly I have no idea lol. That's why I was asking. I was hoping for something that was already built in to the t2i framework and could just be added to the normal "paragraph" type. Similar to the way modifiers add their text to the description. I know zero Javascript. I'm plan on getting started learning it soon. Until then I don't even know what to do with what you volunteered. Kinda hopeless I know lol.
Is possible (like in the Koto comment) and you can make it to visualize and edit only if something is checked/cliked, I think I saw some generator with this option in the generator list.

I just made it to test, i think i will put it in my gen.. https://perchance.org/example-aaaa1

Also try learning js with AI, ask the AI how to do some functions in Javascript and try learning some js basics, then try to apply that in something simple in a new page on perchance. Also the basic perchance syntax is very helpful (selectOne, selectAll, getChildNames, etc)
- Thanks! Now I just need to figure out how to make all of my styles and options do the same thing. I have a lot of drop down menus lol. You guys have beena huge help. 😁
