My problem is that I can find a way to sumbit the form using javascript when there are multiple buttons on the form. I know that we can do form submission using:
form.submit();
but, I have a different case when I need to sumbit form with javascript but still be able to differentiate which button submits the form (dont get confuse on this. What I am doing is the when a user clicks button, it gets thorught a javascipt that validates and does other job and then submits the form).
On the other side, I use (php)
if(isset($_REQUEST["Save"])) { }
to distinguish b/w two buttons.
Only thing i need is to find a way to add information about the button tht triggers the form submit().....
i dont know ... but may be like
Code:
form.submit("Save");
doesn't work for me, because in that case the button name and value won't be included in the request to the server (because the button is disabled), and I've got a situation where I need to know which button was clicked to submit the form.Is there any way to disable the submit button AFTER the form submission, so it would be included in the request?
I have multiple submit buttons in a form, with the same name. ie code...
Is it possible to detect which submit button was presed, from within the onsubmit handler for the form, or would I need to apply onclick handlers for each button, and submit the form as part of the function?
I have email, password and some other fields, and I'm using $.post to send data for Ajax submission.
The problem is that I don't want to submit a particular field. The serializeArray() returns all the fields in the form. So, I tried something like this to prevent the password field being serialized.
This works great but the ajax submission doen't work.
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 have a simple PHP form and to prevent double data submission, once the user has clicked 'submit', I want to disable the submit button using JavaScript. It was recommended in another thread that one could accomplish this using jQuery and the following code:
I'm having troubles with an existing J2EE application (which uses Dojo) and in which I'm gradually introducing jQuery. The specific issue is with the malsup Form plugin and the JSON returned from a form submission: the error callback is always called, regardless of what happens on the server side, and the error is always "parsererror". I'm using jQuery 1.4.2 and the 2.45 version of the malsup Form plugin. For example, given the following code:
$(document).ready(function() { var options = { dataType: 'json',[code]....
the server receives the submission and handles it without errors, then in the browser I always get the same alert from the processAddressEditSubmitError() function, with an "Invalid JSON" message:
I'm having a few problems... none are caused by my browser, so they are proving hard to troubleshoot. A user has pointed a couple out to me.
I have this code as part of a script:
(I have inserted hard breaks to make the post look better) ---------------------------------- window.open("http://www.site.com/loading.htm","confirmation","screenX=10,screenY =10,left=0,top=10,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars =1,resizable=0,width=250,height=250");
"subForm" targets "confirmation". The user is getting two windows instead of one. One contains the initial window document and the other contains the form action. Also, she says they are both big... the size (of at least one) should be 250x250. She is running AOL 6 and IE 5.5 on the related computer.
Perhaps a timeout would help the 2 window situation? Why are the windows big and not 250x250? If you know what's going on please let me in on it.
This same user has a laptop that runs AOL 4 and IE 4 (she thinks). On that computer the form is submitting to one window, but none of the data is making it to the new window. I am guessing this has to do with the way I have the "form" and "table" tags within the javascript document.write statements. Does anyone know a good web page on this subject? OR What else the problem might be?
Ok, next issue! I am trying to submit a form using Netscape 4.03. When the submit button calls the related function I receive: "subForm is not defined". Here is the line that is throwing the error:
Is there a good way to use JavaScript to send a form submission, but get back the response as a string, rather than loading it into a page? I could write the code to send the submission via XMLHttpRequest, but that seems hard... especially implementing multipart-encoded form submission such as required for file upload.
I'm working on a project for my company that will be deployed next week. In a nutshell, we have a bunch of touchscreen computers that we are using as kiosks for an internal event. The various screens have been build in XHTML/CSS, with a smidge of javascript for the few points of interactivity that aren't being handled through the HTML.
I just started dabbling in Javascript for this project about a month ago, and I think with enough time, I could probably figure this out. But I'm feeling crunched on time, and I thought someone here might have a simple solution.
So here's where I am. The "boss" doesn't want to use the built in browser alert/prompt boxes, which is fine by me, since I can just skin up some alerts in CSS, and attach JS functionality to them. But I ran into a snag in one of them. On each kiosk, we are placing a transparent DIV in the upper corner that invokes a password prompt. If the password matches the password stored in the JS, the kiosk browser window closes (window.close). If the password doesn't match, the user is informed of such, and remains in "kiosk" mode.
For the password box, I've written in a hidden box in CSS, who's display value is set to visible when someone hits the hidden area in the upper corner. That works fine. The box itself is a <p> that simply prompts the user to enter the password to continue. I have a form with a text field as well as an "ok" button.
Here's where things stop working. If I pre-define the value of "var password" to be the correct password, clicking the OK button works as expected. But if I try to use the user input from the form, I get an error. I'm happy for someone to start me from scratch if the below code isn't workable. Here's what I need:Password prompt box that's skinnable in CSS.Value checked against stored variableIf accepted, window closes.If denied, user is informed and prompt box is returned to hidden state.
[Code]...
One note, before I toss this to you all. If it's easier/better to simply include the error message as part of the FORM, instead of it's own separate box, I'm A-OK with that.
I'm using simple form validation, found online, to check certain fields before submitting. The problem is that, although the script detects the error/missing field/wrong syntax and pops up the corresponding alert, after the user presses OK in the alert box the script continues and sends the form - which of course is not valid.
user fills in a form (selects files for upload, writes a post, etc.) and submits it - without page reload she gets a response from server (error, unsupported file type, inappropriate language, success, etc.)I imagine first, submit-without-reload, part is done via the form.target property like this: - iframe is either created dynamically with JS createElement or statically. But in any case it should look something like this:
- form, also created either dynamically or statically:
<form action="process.php" target="#iframe123456"> <!-- inputs of various types --> </from>
As for the response/result part, server dumps its reply into the targeted iframe, so I have three alternatives:- use iframe's onLoad (onReadyStateChange) event: attach a get_data() function to it.- frequently/manually poll iframe for data using setInterval(get_data, milliseconds). - inject some script into the server response that makes iframe itself call get_data() .how I can check if an iframe has data in it.I use the following script to get the iframe's inner document object (excerpt from get_data() fucntion ):
I am trying to validate a form field using a $.post request and am having an issue with timing because of the synchronous property of the post I assume. If I put in an alert, it works fine because the post has returned in time to stop the form submission. Here is the original way I did it but the form is submitting before I can send the return = false.
Code JavaScript: $('form#form-oidupdate').submit(function(e) { var srchstr = $('form#form-oidupdate input').val(); var passdata = {'type': 'availability', 'srchstr': srchstr};
i have a form that has both front end and backend validation (php) basically i got the code off the net, and it needs the submit button to be of type "button" rather than "submit"
and obviously the form doesn't submit if javascript is turned off i'm not a javascript expert, on the button it has onClick="formvalidate())" and in the javascript it has if form is ok form.submit() or something to that effect
now is it possible to use a submit type so that if javascript is turned off, the form will still submit but won't submit if javascript is on and the form is invalid does it have something to do with the onSubmit attribute for the form currently there is none
because we have the backend validation it doesn't really matter if javascript is turned off but it does matter if the form can't even be submitted at all
On one of our pages, when the page loads, the form submits. The only problem is, we need the submit name to be name="submit". When we use this, the form doesn't autosubmit. When we use something like name="submit1", it submits, but our form doesn't work properly, since it's requiring the submit name="submit".
I have an online form for doing proofs and have a problem: My form page collects all the information the user has entered. the form has 2 buttons
When you press the PREVIEW button I need the form submitted to open a new _blank page. This page shows a pdf with the info in. This is so the user can close this page down and still have the forms screen behind to make any changes.
When the user presses SUBMIT I need the form to submit to a _self page so that the form page becomes a thankyou page and the user cant make anymore changes to the details he has submitted.
The forms must submit as the online pdf proof wont work without a submission.
I have a very basic postcode validation script which works brilliantly, however I require a new validation adding to this. I want to single out people with specific postcodes, to be mor specific anyone with a Milton Keynes postcode should receive an alert when they submit the form before it goes to the serverside action page.I can write a regular expression which detects the postcodes i want to look for, however i am lost as to how i create an alert before the form is submitted without cancelling the submission.My current validation for the postcode looks like this:
Code:
var regExpressPostcode = /^([a-zA-Z]){2}([0-9][0-9]|[0-9]){1}([ ])([0-9][a-zA-z][a-zA-z]|[0-9][0-9][a-zA-z][a-zA-z]){1}$/; function checkForm(aForm) { if (!regExpressPostcode.test(aForm.shipPostalCode.value)){
I'm trying to prevent the submission of a form but it apparently isn't working. Code: elForm.onsubmit = function(){ object.GoAJAXGo(elForm); return false; } The return false bit I believed would prevent the submission.
Has anybody used <button type="submit" name="dil" value="bert">dilbert</button> and attempted to add submit validation through the submit handler and preventDefault() only to find out the element value is missing? I'm currently experiencing this problem and it's a real headache.
I have a form which houses basic inputs, as well as a few multiple select forms.
I need to parse all the 'values' which are in this multiple select form (it gets manipulated dynamically client side). I wanted to create a function that loops through all the form elements, and if the type 'select-multiple' is detected, gather the VALUES of each <option> inside it.
The bit I'm stuck on is then how to reconstruct this into a form submission. Preferably I wanted the data from the 'select-multiple' element to be submitted as comma delimited, eg 14,12,512,63,62 which would later be parsed by PHP.
I was considering reconstructing a query string and submitting that as GET, but I'd prefer to POST it along with the other data (such as INPUTS etc) which do not need to be changed.
Can I somehow attach some 'hidden' type data onto the end of the form submission at this point?
I have a quick question - if I have a form which refers to a javascript when its submitted using:
<form name = "fred" onsubmit = "test()">
and this function creates a popup window to display information in, I find that after the window has appeared, the focus moves back to the form and the text box used to gather user input clears. The clearing text box isnt a problem, but the moving focus is. Is there a way to make it so that the window containing the popup information stays on top? This problem doesnt ocurr when I use the submit button to call the javascript function.
I have a form in which I have this link :- < href="javascript:submitform(parameters );"> . In the JavaScript function submitform, there is the code for submitting the form.Thi works fine with single click on both IE,NN6.In IE the form is submitte only once even for double click.But if you double click on the link i NN6, the form is submitted twice. This causes problem. The workaroun for this was that we set a flag(indicating form submission) in th submitform function, we also set a timer which calls the functio resetflag after 3 seconds.So any click within 3 seconds of the firs click will be ignored (so that the form is not submitted for the secon click).
I am trying to use jConfirm to make sure a user wants to post a form. My selector is working as well as the jConfirm (I have tested it well). However, it is not submitting the form. The form action is PHP_SELF and I am simply echo'ing the POST vars. Without the js, it posts fine.
