Question

How to put jquery result in text field. Here is the code:
jquery:

$(document).ready(function () {
        $('p, li, a, href').click(function () {
            var xpath = getXPath(this);
            alert(xpath);
        });
    });

and HTML text field:

<input name="" type="text" value="">

What I need is instead alert put result in text field?

UPDATE:

Sorry for my bad question…

The result must be in selected text field:

<input id="" name="" type="text" value="">
<input id="" name="" type="text" value="">
<input id="" name="" type="text" value="">

and must write result in selected text field…

Answer 1

you can use this to select the focused element

$(':focus').val(xpath);

this one is even much better that you give them all a name for example:

<input id="" name="myinput" type="text" value="">
<input id="" name="myinput" type="text" value="">
<input id="" name="myinput" type="text" value="">

then select them like this:

$('input[name="myinput"]').is(":focus").val(xpath);

if your textbox loose focus when you try to trigger script do this:

var selectedtextbox;
$('input[name="myinput"]').focus(function(){selectedtextbox=$(this);});

then in your sctipt use:

selectedtextbox.val(xpath);

make sure that selectedtextbox is global and can be accessed from your script.
