Clearing Values On Focus And Submit?
Feb 6, 2011
On this page http://bit.ly/gAajO3 I have a comment form and would like the input and textarea contents to turn to blank when a user clicks on them, however this is not working for me. Would like to know what is going wrong if someone can spot it.Also on submit I want the input and textarea to be cleared if their value is 'Please type here'. This is working on the name input and textarea, however it seems the email field is not being cleared,

I've read a few solutions to this, but none seem to fit what I'd like to do. I'm quite new to JavaScript, so I'm trying to learn various solutions to problems and also what can and can't be done.
What I'd like to know is can you, on submit, check all the form values on a page, or indeed within a specific form on a page, for their default values, and if any still have their default values as the text within that box, clear that value.
So using some generic form values as an example, if I had a form that had three text fields Name, Email, and Phone, all by default populated by their respective names, if someone changed the value of Name to "Adenv" but left the other two, on submit the script would change the values to:
With *blank* indicating a blank field. Is this possible?

Trying to create a method/function how ever you want to call it, that will allow me to clear input values on inputs with focus() and restore the input values if nothing is entered or keep what the user types on focusou().[code]

Okay, how do I write a page with a form so that when I click Submit,
the following happens?
1. The data is submitted (of course)
2. The form is cleared (what I've tried results in the form being
cleared first, resulting in an empty submission), and
3. The cursor goes back to the start of the form, ready for more input
(kind of like how Google puts the cursor in the search box at the
start).
I can't seem to find the answer, and I've been looking on the net for a
few hours already.

I am using jQuery AJAX to submit a form. When the data has been validated successfully and processed, I want to clear the form, but I am unsure how. I have been trying to make it work for a few hours now.
I am showing status messages in the container below:
When everything was successful, it looks like this:
And here is the simple code I use to clear the text fields:
What I need is a way to check if everything was successful and if so, then run the code above. I tried to do it in a few ways, but it kept clearing regardless of the status.

Is there a reason why setting focus to a textbox input, also gives
focus to a submit button on the page, to where if you click enter in
the text box, the submit button will be clicked.

In the following .submit function, I am attempting to grab the value of the selected option in the facilityCodes dropdown list when I click the submit button and then during the submit function,select the facilityCode again in the dropdown list when the page reloads and then disable the list so that the user cannot change it.However,the situation is when I reload the page after the submit button is clicked the dropdown defaults to the first option and the list is enabled.I apparently am not understanding how.submit works so that I'm selecting the option I'm defining in my code below and then disabling the list AFTER the page reloads due to an error on the page. My question is how can I accomplish this?Here is my code:
$(function() {
$("#ARTransferForm").submit(function() {
var msgsCount = 0;[code]....

In part of my form, I have 3 inputs (one textarea and two text inputs),I am validating their value format using AJAX (each input triggers error message on its label in case format is wrong). Also I have one button, "NOT submit button" (type = button).Now, when clicking on the button it must enter the value of those three inputs in my database in case they are true then all inputs values must be cleared. In case AJAX validation is wrong and in case the user clicked on that button, the value of fields must kept as it is.
Actually I can not use submit button because I have it for the whole form and what I am taking about is a part of the form and it's not possible to make nested forms as I know it violates html rules. It's easy to make it if I am taking about submitting button as I can view session values on fields after submission in case ajax returns error.I can clear inputs from Javascript, but it will be cleared on both cases if AJAX validation true or wrong. Each input field has AJAX Error message that will be triggered when the input format is wrong.

i have a form with two buttons to submit it. One button (must be left) goes to a detail-page and the second button (must be right) goes to a basket-page. Also there is a input-field.
My problem: onLoad i give focus to the input-field. But when user submits the form with return, the first button ("show details") is executed, and you see the detail-page.
But i want to give focus to the ("into basket") button, but it comes after
the detail-button in source.
I cant change the buttons because it's not allowed by the designer :-(
Also on load of that page, the border of the first submit button is more
thick (i think 2 px) than the second (maybe 1px). How can i submit to basket, with the return-key and give them the same look?

I have an application built in PHP which takes a code and redirects a user to the appropriate website.
This works fine when the user enters code and selects the submit button. However if the user enters the code and just selects enter on the keyboard the page refreshes, does not redirect to any URL and deletes the original entry.
Is there anyway to use unobtrusive JS to enforce the focus on the submit button as soon as the page loads?

I have created a form with malsup's Form Plugin wherein it submits on change of the inputs. However, after each submission, the form loses focus, which forces the user to click on the next input element after each input change, which is a bit annoying. Is there a way I could set the form to automatically focus on the next input element after the submission depending on which input element the form was submitted from? [code]...

My script is designed to show a simple question and the user submits the answer using onchange via the tab key. If the answer is correct the next question appears and so on. But if it's wrong there's an alert and the user stays at that question and has another go to enter a correct answer to move on. It works well as long as user gets answer right. If they enter a wrong answer I'd like that answer box to clear and be focussed (ie cursor in place). Problem is, using the tab key has already sent the cursor off to highlight the address bar! I can get it to work if each answer box has a submit button and I use onclick but I really want to change the submit function to a keystroke, pref TAB.
Code:
<HTML><HEAD>
<SCRIPT language=javascript type=text/javascript>
function thetests(){
document.theform.prob1.focus();
}

Before I submit the form with JS I update an input field with js like this:
Code:
The problem is that the updated value is not sent along with the post data. Instead the old value is sent along.
When i submit the form with a button afterwards though (not auto submit after the value is set), then the value is sent along fine.
But that's not how I want it to work...how I can send the value that I'm setting with JS along with the post data like this?

I'm trying to set up a form such that the Submit button will be disabled until a set of values has been set in the form.I have latitude and longitude text input elements (named coordPointLat and coordPointLon respectively) and they are not acting as I would expect.With coordPointLat set to 354104 and coordPointLon empty the following test always falls down to the line where the Submit button gets enabled.

I have two basic select lists and I want to automatically submit the values from the first list once they select from the second list using onchange. how to get the multiple values from the first select.
So basically I want them to select a state or states from the first list and in the second list they can choose from some data parameters to query within those zip codes. So once they select data parameter(s)... the onchange should kick in and pass both the zip code selections and data parameters to the getData function.
Trying something like:
PHP Code:
<select name="state" multiple size="5" >
<? while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
<option value="<?=urlencode($row[0])?>"><?=$row[0]?></option>
<? } ?>
[Code].....
By using state.value I get ONE of the select items and not multiple. And I've tried state[] and variations of state[].value or state.value[]... no luck.
The onchange=getData is a function that puts together a URL to get data from another page. So I really need to pass something like state[]=1&state[]=2
Therefore it seems like the state select needs it's own onchange to run a local function that formats this URL string??? then how do I get that value?
I have it working as two completely seperate form elements but I really want to make these two selects one form/step that they have to complete.

I have a complicated page with several submit buttons. I don't want to
create multiple forms because much of the input is shared and the code
is getting very ugly. However I would like to determine which values
will be submited.
Here is a simplified example that may better illustrate my question.
Or maybe there is a better approach...
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitform1()
{
document.myform.submit();
}
function submitform2()
{
// logic to submit only name parameter
document.myform.submit();
}
function submitform3()
{
// logic to submit only address parameter
document.myform.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>
<form name="myform" action="#">
<TABLE>
<TR><TD>Name</TD><TD><input type='text' name='Name'></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Address</TD><TD><input type='text' name='Address'></TD></TR>
<TR><TD>Phone</TD><TD><input type='text' name='Phone'></TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD><td><input type="button" onClick="submitform1()"
value="submit all variables"> </TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD><td><input type="button" onClick="submitform2()"
value="submit just name"> </TD></TR>
<TR><TD></TD><td><input type="button" onClick="submitform3()"
value="submit just address"> </TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</form>

I have a form where I click a button and it duplicates the inputs thus now having X of the same inputs. The input name looks like so:
<select id="select" name="cs_quantity[]">
Is there a way I can check the all values of the quantity before submitting the form? I want to make sure they've chosen a quantity other than 0.

I am using a script so that a url selected from a dropdown is given control using the window.location method. This depends on the onsbumit definition attached to the action statement. All that works well. However, I have other checkboxes etc. on the form, and their values are no longer submitted when I used this onsubmit function. Is there a way I can get them to work... Here is the script and the form:

I have a form which has a few submit buttons, all named SubmitButton so I can pass the clicked button's value through to the submission processor and then act according to which button is pressed. However on the jquery form submit even, I also want to check certain things before I fire the submission off. As the button isn't a "conventional" input I can't check the document object to see which one was clicked, so I need to check the form contents that are about to be submitted, can I do this from the submission event or will I have to bind to each button individually?

I have tried to search for the answer to this, but came up empty. I am writing a form checker (and submit) in jQuery, and am testing with Chrome. Once I do my validation, if all is ok, I simply submit the form using...
$("form#courseForm").submit();
and here is my form tag.
<form name="courseForm" id="courseForm" action="courseDetail.asp" method="post">
In IE it works fine with either POST or GET methods in the form tag, but in Chrome it will only work with GET.When I try to use POST, the form does submit, but I don't get any data sent to the page at all. The only thing I am doing different than usual, is the form does not have a submit button. I am using a "button" tag and using jQuery to capture the click event. <button type='button' name='courseSubmit' class='blueButton'>Save Changes</button> why the POST isn't sending the data in Chrome? Simple workaround is to change it to a GET and it will always work, but I see that as a bandaid fix, and not really a solution to the problem.
