Accessing And Processing Form Data?
Oct 8, 2010
I feel like I've been server-side programming so long that I completely forget how client-side works. I have a super simple form:
Code:
<form action="page2.html" method="post/get">
First name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /><br />
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Is there a way to use Javascript on "page2.html" to access the contents of firstname and lastname and display them?

I have a database site I am currently designing, and would like to use a single page with forms in external html documents to undertake admin tasks (eg. add/remove records etc.)
I have managed to successfully load the form html into the necessary div using the $.load function, however, when I try to process the form, with this code:
$("#add_form").validate({
debug: false,
rules: {
maker: "required",
[Code]....
which asks 'process_form.php' to process the data, it doesn't seem to send the data in the form to the page. to confirm this, and whilst trying to get the system to work, the 'process_form.php' consists of 2 lines,:
echo $_GET['maker'];
echo '123456';
(ie. one line to return a string literal, and one line to return one of the variables which SHOULD be passed by the form)
This results in just the 123456 string being returned.
I have tried several things: loading the script above in the head of the 'parent' html page (ie. which the form is loaded into); - does not properly fire at all;
loading the script 'in-line' in the imported html - this leads to the result given above; running the script in an external script.js file through an onsubmit directive on the form...does not appear to properly fire the script.

I've been using some code to verify form data quite happily, but i've
recently changed the way my form is structured, and I can't get it to work
now.
Originally :
The form is called "form1", and I have selects called "PORTA", "PORTB" ...
etc...
I then had javascript that accessed these selects as below, and it worked
fine.
ind = document.form1.PORTD.selectedIndex;
val = document.form1.PORTD.options[ind].value;
dev = document.form1.PORTD.options[ind].text;
My form is now autogenerated, and form data is stored to file, so I now use
an associative array for thte form elements (so that I can loop through them
easily), The form elements names are now :
McuCfg[PORTA], McuCfg{PORTB} and so on
Now, I modified the javascript so that it now uses the McuCfg[] associative
array :
ind = document.form1.McuCfg[PORTD].selectedIndex;
val = document.form1.McuCfg[PORTD].options[ind].value;
dev = document.form1.McuCfg[PORTD].options[ind].text;
When the script runs, I get the error
"document.form1.McuCfg.PORTD is null or not an object"
I have used the same notation that i know works for the "options" array
although that's not an associative array.

I'm, having some problems with this function.
function displayElements()
{
for (i=0;i<document.forms[0].elements.length; ++i)
{
document.writeln(document.forms[0].elements[i].value);
}
}
I'm trying to loop through the only form (form[0]?) on my webpage and
display all their values. For some reason I'm only being shown the first
value?

I am using MYSQL to store articles. I wanted to present the articles in order by id, then let the user choose one of them and send the id of the article to another php page for processing, using ajax. To do so i have placed a simple form in the articles. like so:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY id DESC")
or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
{code}....

I have a form and on submit it goes to the submission page, then writes some data, sends an email and says thank you. I then wanted this to be a pop up window so the user doesn't have to leave the main page, and add an auto close function. The problem is with a popup no variables are passed to it.
The regular code to open a new page was:
Code:
<form name="formRFQ" method="post" onSubmit="return formCheck(this);" action="oring_rfq.php">
This worked perfectly everything submitted fine.
Then I decided to make the window controlled by popup
Code:
<form name="formRFQ" method="post" onSubmit="return formCheck(this);" action="wopen('oring_rfq.php', 'popup', 640, 400); return false;">
Now the page isn't getting any variables.
I wrote an If statement to check if there are any variables in case somebody stumbled on the page without actually submitting any data. So I can tell that no variables are getting sent to the popup..

I am working on a PHP-script and need javascript to set the value of a
hidden field in a form. This field happens to be an entry in an array
data[3] according to my example. How can I do this?
Below is listet two PHP-pages: one that doesn't work (to my dismay), and
another that does work, but do not use an array entry in the hidden field. Code:

I have just started to learn about JQuery and wanted to learn how to retrieve data from an API.
I used the Flickr example provided here [url] and just changed the relevant code to point to the 500px api.
<body>
If I launch the following URL I do get the results properly [url]
Here's a sample of what the result looks like:-
I don't get any results when I run my code page. What am I doing wrong?

By luck I had somehow found a way to collect data with a form, perform
calculations with JavaScript and display the form and calculated
results on the same screen.
Now I can't figure out how to do that again. The only methods of
reporting the calculation results seem to display a completely new
screen/window.
I just want to collect some numeric input data with slider widgets or
text boxes for an alternate method and display additional calculated
results 'real time' as the slider is adjusted. If this can't be done,
after a text box entry is made. Ideally the results would display
without a 'submit' button click.

I wish to carry out standard form validation (i.e. is it a date?, is
there a value in the field, is it a number) using the onBlur event
rather than the onSubmit event. This (of course) leads to problems when
cancelling an edit as leaving a field to press the cancel button will
trigger the onBlur event and therefore the field validation. Is there
any way to know the destination field / button that caused the onBlur
event? In Ingres ABF/W4GL (mid eighties language of similar
functionality to javascript) there was an available attribute called
the targetfield so the code could run...
onBlur myfield =
{
if (targetfield != CancelButton) {
carry out validation
}
}
Is there something similar in javascript or will I have to program
round the houses i.e. onBlur records which validation to run and
onFocus runs the validation (unless it's a cancel button)?

Is it possible to use JavaScript to apply different actions to a form
depending on a value within the form (eg sending form data to
different cgi scripts depending which radio button is checked)?

I have a snippet of javascript to check and make sure all the fields in a form are filled in. If they aren't then it shows an alert box telling you to put something in that form. If all the fields are filled in then it submits the form. That piece of code is this:
Code:
function checkFields() {
var errors = "no";
if(document.street_team.email.value == "") {
alert("Please enter an e-mail address..");
errors = "yes";}
if(document.street_team.name_first.value == ""){
alert("Please enter your first name.");
errors = "yes";}
if(document.street_team.name_last.value == ""){
alert("Please enter your last name.");
errors = "yes";}
if(document.street_team.loc_state.value == ""){
alert("Please enter your state.");
errors = "yes";}
if(document.street_team.loc_city.value == ""){
alert("Please enter your city.");
errors = "yes";}
if(errors != "yes"){
document.street_team.submit();}
}
Then i used a button to start the script. That code is this:
Code:
<button onClick="checkFields()">Join</button>
The problem is that if you don't have something filled in and the alert box pops up, once you click "ok" it still processes the form. Any ideas on how to keep it from doing that?

i have a form like this on a page called emailform.htm:
<form method="post" onSubmit=NewWindow()>
<H3>From: <input type="text" name="from"></H3>
<H3>Message: <input type="text" name="body"></H3>
<input type="submit" value="Send the Message">
</form>
when submitted, it calls this function:
function NewWindow(){
window.open('sendmail.php', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=no,
toolbar=no, width=200, height=200');
}
two problems:
1. the form values are not getting passed over to sendmail.php.
2. after the popup window pops up and loads sendmail.php, the original page, emailform.htm, changes to an error page.
so, what do i need to do to get the form values to be passed, and how do i keep the original page either from changing at all, or, if thats not possible, get it to simply reload itself.

I have a form that has two input buttons. One of the input submit buttons is being used to delete data from a database. Whenever a user clicks that delete button I am trying to make it so that a confirmation message appears that confirms that the user wants to carry on with the action. Then if they click Ok, the form should continue processing otherwise it will fail.
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['php_self']; ?>" method="post" id="data" name="data">
<fieldset>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Check</th><th>Id</th><th>Added</th><th>Method</th><th>Host</th><th>Port</th><th>Time</th><th id="shell">Shell Location</th>
[Code]...
Currently, the confirmation message works great but I can't get the form to submit once I click.

I have a web application in which I want users to be able to submit a form. Something like this:
Code PHP:
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<input type="text" name="text" value="" />[code]....
Then when it is submitted, the data will be processed and the script which is processing the data will echo some data on-screen based on the data from the form.I need this to happen in an AJAX manner, ie: the page won't need to reload.how to go about doing this? I'll be using jQuery on the same page in case

I am trying to design a system that allows users to draw on a whiteboard with different colors, save their drawing into hidden input boxes in the form on the page, then they can click Save Logo to save it to process it through PHP. I have the whiteboard that allows them to draw, but I am lost as to how to get the thing to populate the hidden input boxes.
So, I have the following code:
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
[code]....
What I am trying to do is use the function mousedown(e) to include an event to update a hidden input box with the value of the TD's background color that the hidden input field is attached to, so that it can be tracked when the user hits Save Logo at the bottom of the page. When they hit Save Logo, I want the form to post to itself, go through each of the input hidden fields and capture the color for each table cell, then generate an image based on the generated array, save it to a file on the server with the user's $_SESSION['userid'] as the filename + .jpg.
The problem is, though, that I do not know how to tell JavaScript to do this in the function mousedown(e) code. Also, look in the function table_create and see if I am naming the hidden input boxes correctly; not sure if it will generate the wanted result.
Just a note: I can handle all the PHP handling of the form, I just need help with the Javascript.
Edit: I attached the entire script/page to this post because so many functions rely on each other to operate, and I'm not exactly sure which function will need to be modified to get the desired result. Also, you can copy the code to a .php file to see what it looks like (as that may assist in demonstrating exactly what I'm trying to do, visually).
Edit 2: I suppose what I need to find is how to get the JavaScript to assign a value to the hidden input field that has the same id as the TD field that it needs to be linked to.

it seems to be a problem if I need to access data() of the elements from another window, like for example $(anyElement,window.opener.document).data() which returns null when in fact there is some data actually stored. I heard that data is stored in the $.cache, which is window-related, so that's understandable, but how can I work around that?
Certain plugins that use $.data no longer work correctly because of that. E.g., I can't use linkselectmethods on linkselects located in the window.opener.document. Again, is there any workaround?

I am working on a project using HTML and javascript to allow the user to choose a vehicle from a drop down menu, then load a new page showing some information about this vehicle. The information is stored in an Excel file. I posted regarding this issue a while back and got an excellent response from Old Pedant about using ActiveX - which has thus far worked perfectly. My initial condition was that I would only be using IE7+. However, my next idea was to be able to use it on an IPad (which I unfortunately do not own yet, making any kind of testing difficult) which I am fairly certain ActiveX won't work on. So, I was looking for any other method which would be similar.
Important note: this will not use the internet at all, all of these files will be available locally. There is a lot of material on running queries to servers, but I didn't think that would really apply here. It seems pretty clear that JS has difficulty accessing files client side (which I understand why completely), but I was hoping to find something that worked for the gray zone I'm currently working in since I'm not using servers at all.
I know that this is not really the intended use of HTML/JS, but I was hoping that by writing it as an HTML file, it'd be accessible to anyone with a browser. Some of my target computers have odd limitations (such as not being to download .exe files).The code I based my original off of is shown below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var conn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open ( 'Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:fullpath oMyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";)';
var sql = "SELECT * FROM [nameOfSheet$]";
var rs = conn.execute( sql )
[Code]...
