Can Javascript Do Something At Submit() Time To Distract The User?
Jul 23, 2005
Can javascript do something at submit() time to distract the user?... like clear the form... or clear the screen ??
I have seen some fancy ways to prevent multiple clicks..... but a number of my cgi's eat up several seconds before they can respond and I would like to keep my user out of trouble.
Whatever it is. it has to be non-modal and not involve nph headers (my webserver does not support them).
I am trying to check the user enter time with current system. If user enter the time less than the current system time then I want to display the alert box. But the code is not working. Here is the code
<html> <head> <title>test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> var d = new Date(); var curr_hour = d.getHours(); var curr_min = d.getMinutes(); [Code].....
You know how the get time functions pulls info from the users computer? Is there a way i can get that same information from a web site or a clock on the the same web site?
I've created a table in my document, presenting a list of items, one can 'select' by clicking on it... (Kinda like a menu, you make your choice from) But since this table can get very long, I've put something of a 'search-form' on top, which enables the user to make a selection of products from the list.
Now, the form uses a "post" method, and submits to itself, using the form action. Some PHP script will make sure that the form is filled out already, the next time it's presented.
The table, containing a list of products is presented, below the form. When a user clicks on a product, the product should be "selected". At first i just used a <a href="zoeken.php?prod_id=24"> link to do this, but the problem is that my form won't remain in tact.
So now, the global idea is to submit the form after setting a hidden form-field using JavaScript, using a onClick event.
I want to make a switch statement that will display something different depending on the time of day. Once I saw something like getTime (?), but it relied on the user's clock. I know that you would expect me to at least research getTime so that I'm asking about something more specific, but I don't think it's what I need because I want mine to give the same result regardless of the viewer's time zone or how off thier clock is.
I need to remember the time when user closes the window and later when he/she comes back, site will highlight latest news that happened when user was offline. So far the best solution I have found is jquery.unload (since I use jquery): it sends some data to php script (which remembers the time) via ajax when unload event triggers, so is it the best way to solve this problem?
I was wondering if it is true that the Date object gets its date from the user's local time, if so, could the user "hack" the time by adjusting his local time?
Is it possible to submit multiple links all at the same time using Javascript? I check all over the web and can't find any examples anywhere.
I would like to click on a button and submit to google, yahoo, msn, etc all at the same time. Like someone physically click on [url], [url], [url], so on.
I'm trying to figure out with Java Script how I would have Java Script check and see if a check box is or not empty. The goal is to only allow the user to have one box checked at any time in a form. That means, if they click on another one and there is already one checked, it would uncheck the one that was checked and make the one that the person checked on next checked.
I have a registration page with a username field and every time a character is type I would like to call a javascript function to test for a unique username. My function is working fine but I'm currently using onChange to call it and I noticed that onChange is less of an actual onChange and more of a onChange if onBlur. Is it possible to run the script every time a character changes even if the user is still typing? Note, I'm using ASP.NET in VB to write this page but I'd like to do this with javascript and not post back if at all possible.
I'm trying to add a body class of 'day' if it's 6am-5pm and 'night' if it's 5pm-6am based on the user's local time. I tried the following but it didn't work.
With Java script when a user hits submit on a form on my site, is it possible to take the values from the form and submit them to another form on another Url without the user who submitted the form on my site knowing?
i have a form being filled. i don't want the user to be able to submit twice. how can i either prevent the user from going back or disable the submit button?
i am currently disabling the submit button but when the user clicks back(from the next page) it asks whether it should resend data. when the data is resent it loads the original version of the page(without submit disabled).
I have the following code that will count the elapsed time and print the value in seconds after the user hits the stop button. However we are trying to get it to post the elapsed time in hours. So lets say the elapsed time is 20 mintues, the output would be .3 hours.
I have the checkbox validation. I have it set onClick, this works perfectly with both the mouse click and also if the space bar is used to select the option, which is great. However if a user simply 'tabs' over the option it doesn't validate real time. The solution I came up with was adding a onKeyDown event to trigger the same function.
I need a messagebox to let user type in some text and then submit. Do I need a plugin? I searched on Jquery site, seems the search plugins doesn't work as it doesn;t return anything with "messagebox". I found a plugin on other site, but need license. What I need is just a simple messagebox
I'm trying to write a shopping basket in ASP and I need to force the user to choose one or more "Option" radio button(s) before allowing the form to submit.
I want the user to HAVE to choose a colour and size from the above options before the form will submit or else they will get a Javascript popup message asking them to make a choice. (There may also be more/less options so it needs to be dynamic)
I know ASP inside out but very little knowledge of Javascript so once i have the basics of how to do it I can make the code dynamic. There will be a maximum of 5 "Options" for a product and a maximum of 6 choices for each Option.
function toSubmitted() { document.myForm.action = some URL that has to do with a Filemaker Pro backend. document.myForm.submit(); window.location = "www.google.com"; }
Supposed to submit myForm, which sends necessary data to the FileMaker backend, and then I am wanting to redirect to a new page immediately after that.
The "window.location = "www.google.com";" line does not seem to function in its present location.
I have recently downloaded the jQuery Validation Plugin, and I want to use the bottom part of the demo [url] (Validating a Complete Form) and I have some questions to ask:
1. I want the validation to work after the user clicked "Submit"
2. If a column is wrong (username already taken or password length invalid) I want not only error message but also a picture in front of the error message.
3. I hope that after the user clicks "Submit" and then found a column is wrong then correct it, after the user corrected it and click to other place or other column the validator starts again to check the column the user just edited whether the user just corrected a wrong column or edited a correct column into error.
4. I hope to display a image in right of the column if that column is correct after the validator works.
I'd like to create a quick and dirty validation method for a form. It's not meant to be very secure.
The way I picture it working is this - there is an input field that asks for a password. If the user types in the password correctly, the "submit" div tag will change from "none" to "block". , which will display the submit button. I just am not familiar with JS enough to know if that's possible.
What I am trying to do is add a list box to my site that when the user clicks on a certain item and presses submit the correct code gets sent to my cgi cart.
My menu is a big javascript file. It takes time to reload the menu file when the page is refresh. Is it possible to load the file only one time since the menu is same in every page?
I'd want that: at the first user's click on the #register div, the div #registerForm become visible, it should remains visible also when the user click the submit button within and it should disappear if the user click a second time on the #register.I partially solved my problems with this:
