AJAX :: Updating FORM Action Based On Input
Aug 2, 2011
Let me preface this by saying that I have ZERO experience with Ajax, and have simply copied this code from a blog elsewhere. What is shown below ties to a php file that I developed for a search function on our site. As the user enters their search term(s) in the text input field, the div below is populated with potential results through AJAX. I get all that.
However, I'd like to extend this a bit more. I'd like to enable to user to click the Enter key to follow the URL of the top search result automatically, without having to move their mouse and click on it.
Since I'm using PHP to generate the actual URL, I'm sure I can just send this back as a variable via AJAX, but with my lack of understanding, I thought I'd poke around here for some assistance. Can someone show me how to tweak the code below to accomplish what I'm looking for?
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showResult(str)
{
if (str=="")
[Code].....
I'm less concerned about getting the Enter key to perform the submit than I am about passing the URL variable back to the form via AJAX. I've seen lots of examples of getting the Enter key to behave this way, I just didn't want to muddy up the original code above.

I have a form with a select field. Depending on what is selected in this field, I want to display or not display another select field. For example first field asks the user if they drive, if the user selects "NO" the form doesn't change. If they select "YES", another field appears with different makes to chose from. If they change back to "NO" the second field dissapears again.

The user writes some text/figures to a number of text boxes (WMSURL , WMSSRS and so on). When the user pushes the "Compile request" button, it should concatenate all the values to one single strind (and it do). Now comes my problem; the concatenated string should appear in the larger textarea (id=textarea), using the onclick for the Compile request button.
Here's the code (partly):
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Function that concatenates the values in the fields to a WMS GetMap query

I have come across a very interesting problem that seems to be impossible to solve. Basically a web application that I am working on relies on a JavaScript function called go to change the input named view to the page name and submit the form. This form's type is post, so no values are included in the actual URL string. There is also another input called action and it's value is view. This is to tell the application that the user would like to view a page. The problem is because of the variables being of method post, page refreshes and back and forwards return errors because the post variables view and action aren't sent with the required data. To somewhat solve this problem I have created a feature that tells the application that if the post value page is empty then to try and get a GET var called page. To insert this var into the go javascript function I simple add this code
document.go.action = document.go.action+"&page="+page;
This line basically adds &page=[page] to the action of the form. The problem is, this code doesn't work because action is also the name of a form element. Referencing document.go.action refers to the input element named action and not to the form's action. Changing the named of the action input value is out of the question (Way to much changing of code, and possible room for error). What can I do to change the action of the form without referencing the input named action. Here is my go form and the JavaScript code:
<form name="go" action"index.php?sid=123" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="view" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="" />
</form>
[Code]....

I'm working on a search filter trying to get a form to update itself depending on what options have been checked from a selection of checkboxes. i.e. selecting one checkbox can bring up other checkboxes. It's just posting the form to update_filter.php and putting the updated form into searchNavigation div.
$(document).ready(function(e){
$("input[type='checkbox']").change(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
update_filter();
[Code]....
This works for the first checkbox that is checked, but after that nothing.
Is it something to do with the fact that the form is not the same form that it was before the checkbox was checked if that makes sense? or shouldn't that make any difference?

I have a form like this:
<form id="my_form" method="post" action="">
Name: <br />
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
<input type="submit" id="submit1" value="Go to page 1" />
<input type="submit" id="submit2" value="Go to page 2" />
</form>
how can I change my action form so the form goes to Page1.htm with click on button1 and goes to Page2.htm to click on button2, and mantein the value inserted in textbox "name"?

I've got a form in which the fields are being dynamically generated based upon a db query.. it looks something like this:
Code:
<form name="bft">
<input name="colA_1"> <input name="colB_1" onBlur="loadXMLDoc(this.value,'colC_1');"><input name="colC_1">
[code]...
I'm trying to use AJaX to populate the third input in the same row as the second input based upon a separate db query. Here's the code for that:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadXMLDoc(v,n) {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
[code]...
Here's where it displays on the page<cfoutput>#trim(getITRRSP.[columnName])#</cfoutput>
Whenever the focus blurs from those inputs, the third column in that row is populated with "UNKNOWN" as the value. I have confirmed that the getITRRSP.cfm file is properly retrieving and displaying the data from the db query.

I want to change attribute action in form. Problem is that in that form
is also input with name action. Unfortunately renaming of that input is
worst case because many servlets depend on it.
This works in konqueror but not in IE and Mozilla:
newurl= document.forms[i].getAttribute('action');
newurl= newurl.replace('all/', prefix);
document.forms[i].action= newurl;
Do you have any idea how to modify attribute action in this case ?

I've been trying to create a small input box that changes the form action based upon what the user enters. I can get these two options to work:
1. If value IS NOT 123456code, then action should be search-results.html.
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()!="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","search-results.html");
}
});
2. If value IS 123456code, then action should be search-results.html.
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()==="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","error.html");
}
});
I want to replace option 2 with a variation... where the user gets the error.html page if what they typed contains 123456code. As it stands currently, option 2 requires that a person types in that code exactly with no differences at all.
I was thinking it should look like this:
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()*="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","error.html");
}
});
But that does not seem to work.

I was wondering if it's possible to make it so that once a user selects a certain option in a list, it makes the next input for that form change to either a textfield or a list without losing the values entered in the inputs above.I know PHP is a server-side script, does that make this not possible?

This is probably easy, but I flipped through the first 100 posts and couldn't find a similar question.
I would like to set up a form with multiple radio boxes in a table. The first row containing two selections, second containing 2..... Once the 1st row/column is selected, the 1st row/2nd column automatically displays the information from the first selection.
I am not necessarily looking for exact code on how to do this, just reference points to go to, and preferably suggestions on the best(meaning quickest) language to do this with.

So I am trying to make a form that will eventually take the user to a specified link. It is a form that uses drop down menus. I based this off of someone elses code (with permission :)), but it shows everything <= user input. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it only show only one of the next options.here is the JS code:
<script language="JavaScript">
function ShowMenu(num, menu, max)

I am having a problem with the following script. It sometimes works and sometimes does not. For instance, I placed the HTML code on my desktop and saved the text as .htm-
Open the file in IE and click to accept blocked content. Then I entered a number. Sometimes it works and goes to the document.location url.. but sometimes it just goes to code...

I have a form that collects information about up to 5 items. I would
like the user to be able to select from a drop down menu how many items
for which they want to compare information, and then have the form
change the number of input fields accordingly.
In other words, if the user selects enter info for 3 items, then input
fields for only 3 items are shown, if they change it to 4 items, then a
fourth column shows up in the table with the appropriate input fields.

I'm just starting up in web design and I have an interesting challenge that I'm hoping can be solved w/java script. I have a site with an application form. When the form is to be submitted, the form data needs to be emailed to the correct person to handle that particular application. However, that can't be determined by anything specific in the form. It can only be determined by the link that they clicked on to get to the form. I really don't want to have 22 identical forms with just a different EmailTo addie, which is what the previous site developer did. Someone please tell me this can be done w/java script? If not w/java script

I have the following HTML:
<div id="box">
<div id="inner-new">
content
</div>
[Code]....
This code block occurs several times. Sometime the first div ist just "inner" and the second div is missing.
Now I need to update the "new" DIV based on the height of the previous inner-new DIV. For one it works fine:
var height = $('#inner-new').outerHeight();
$('#new').css('margin-top', height*(-1)-30);
But how could I re-use this universally for all my boxes. It needs to check if the DIV "box" contains the DIV "inner-new" as first element, if that is true it need to update the DIV "new".
I tried several things with $('#box').each(function(i) { ... }); but couldn't come up with a solution.

I am trying to generate an ajax form based on a database value of max and min years. At present i have the following.
[Code]...
What I am struggling with is the logic to say if minyears is more than 1 (string in option needs to say years), then add in every year between min and max as additional options. My brain has been melting with this for a few days now

Currently, I have a php form with various inputs, and a div where I am embedding an (initially) empty open flash chart object.Right now, I am calling a php file on the submit of the form, which takes the form data, calls a python script to process the form data, and then creates an open flash chart object using the data the python script returns.There are a few problems with this:
1. When the submit on the form is called, it goes to a different page where the chart is displayed, when I would really just like to update the contents of the chart div where I initially embedded the empty chart.
2. The processing of the form in the python code can take some time, so what I would really like is to have the chart "check" the output of the python script periodically and update the chart each time, adding the new data points to the old ones.
I know I can do all of these things with javascript and Ajax, I just can't seem to find any tutorials or examples that are exactly what I am looking for.

I want my submit button to link to different pages, based on the value of a particular variable (let's call it total).
So, if 18 < total < 20, the submit button should redirect to page1.html
If 16 < total < 18, the submit button should redirect to page2.html
If 14 < total < 16, the submit button should redirect to page3.html
I have created page1.html, page2.html....page10.html. how should I link my submit button (I have only *one* submit button) to different pages based on different conditions?

I have a very weired problem (which is not easy to describe.. but I'll do my best):I have a html page with several forms , only one of the got the action="ComputeAndReturn" and the other forms got only name="" tag.the problem is that after i submit the form with the action , and than after a computatioon it returns to the original page, now... if i will submit any of the forms without the action=.they will act as if they were defined action="ComputeAndReturn" (altho they are not!)if they were defined from the first time with action="anything", and than i would submit the form with action="ComputeAndReturn" this problem would not appear (the other forms will keep their action="anything" and would not "imitate" the action= "Compute AndReturn" to them selfs...
any ideas how can i keep my forms without action="" , cause all i need them to do is be submitted to pass the submitted value to other form inside that page.[code]

I have a form on a web page, with one field to enter a code, to search for a property.On clicking 'submit' I want to be able to run a script asynchronously in the background.The script will need to run a MYSQL statement which will have one of these results:
1. The property code does not exist, so display a Javascript Alert saying it does not exist.
2. The property is for sale, so call an existing javscript function 'saleSubmit(propertyCode)' to overwrite the exsiting web page with a new page sale.php for that property code
3. The property is for rent, so call an existing javscript function 'rentSubmit(propertyCode)' to overwrite the exsiting web page with a new page rent.php for that property code
My slills are in PHP and MySQL and I have no knowledge of tools like Ajax, jQuery and I am currently having problems getting my head around it. I have spent ages visiting lots of websites looking for examples on how to do this with little success.
