JQuery :: Form Plugin - Reference To The Form In Callbacks?
Jul 26, 2007
I needed access to the form that's being submitted in the options.success() function (in order to hide the form after successful submission). I ended up modifying line 222 in jquery.form.js. I added $form as the third argument for all callbacks, like so:
options.success = function(data, status) {
for (var i=0, max=callbacks.length; i < max; i++)
callbacks[i](data, status, $form); // added $form as third argument.
};
Is there a better way of accessing the form from the callbacks or would the plugin developer(s) consider adding this or another similar modification to the code?
m relatively new to Jquery and have come accross these two plugins.Having looked at the ajax examples offered for the form plugin i wasintruiged to find out how i could go about validating the form usingthe formvalidate plugin during the beforeSubmit callback.Ive seen that you can validate the ajaxform as shown in the followingxample.malsup.com/jquery/form/#code-samplesHowever i'd like to use the formvalidate as it offers alot more....
We're using Malsup's form plugin v2.82 and jQuery core 1.6.2. We're having issues in IE7 where, on a form with file upload, form fields are being dropped before the form is submitted to the server.We tracked it down to the `fileUpload` function, specifically line 196 where each field in the form data has `.attr('disabled',false)` run against it. If we change this to`.prop('disabled',false)` it all works fine.I don't see a clearly marked place to submit bug reports for the form plugin, and wanted to verify that others see this as well,
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 trying to get an upload popup working with the jQuery form plugin[URL].. When I click a link I load a form html from the server and add it to a container div by setting the div's html attribute. I then attach a submit handler to the form so I can call the ajaxSubmit function of the form plugin.
Malsup's most excellent and comprehensive Form plugin has me completely stuck on just one thing.Take a look at this: http:[url]....At the bottom are a variety of submit buttons, and when you click one, it knows which one has been clicked.And I've been through the js and the source and the examples and I can't figure out how the bleep it's done!I'll tell you why I'm asking, then perhaps you can probably tell me I'm doing it wrong anyway!Let's say a blind person logs in, and want to edit their presets.I don't want the form to be too complex or clever or ajaxy, as screenreaders don't like that, so it just iterates through as many presets as they have, and populates a form with edit boxes.But there's no point "pushing back" 29 unchanged items just to edit one row.
So my idea was I'd just "fieldSerialize()" the details of the row that was currently being edited and submit that to my little php routine that updates the db. Then they can do a refresh just to hear the list again.The js looks like:
$(document).ready(function() { $('#myForm').ajaxForm(function() { var queryString = $('#myForm').formSerialize(); [code]....
All works fine like that. But if I change line 3 to: var queryString = $('#myForm :button').fieldSerialize(); it doesn't work. I've also tried:
Maybe I should just generate as many separate forms as there are presets, but then I'm going to need as many ready(function)'s as there are rows, which is going to be very messy.
I'm using the Form Plugin to allow a user to upload a photo.The user clicks on a link in the page and I display a dialog collecting the file and description.It works great the first time, but when they do it again the description and a hidden field is not passed n the form.How can I get the form to work more than once without reloading the page?I call this on the click of the link on the page.
var options = {target: '#divToUpdate', success: PhotoUploaded}; $('#photoForm').ajaxForm(options);
I have my form working great as long as my submit button is contained within the form tags. But the design calls for the submit button to be outside of the form. Sample code and diagrams are below.
<form> my form here </form> <div> </div> <div> Submit button </div>
I am currently trying to validate a form before sending it with the jQuery Form Plugin.I can get them working but it is always one or the other, I can't get them both working.
Having looked at the ajax examples offered for the form plugin i was intruiged to find out how i could go about validating the form using the formvalidate plugin during the beforeSubmit callback. Ive seen that you can validate the ajaxform as shown in the following example. [URL] However i'd like to use the formvalidate as it offers alot more..
I have a bunch of forms in my page, and want to pass a reference to the current form to a javascript function - when, say, a user clicks on a particular element. Normally, within any type of input field, I'd just add something like this:
onclick="my_function(this.form)"
Then, in my_function( form ) I could refer to form. No worries.
But here's the interesting bit. I also want to run the same function when the user clicks on any <a> tag within a form, like:
I am running some javascript code which generates a popup window associated with a spell checking program. The way the program works, is that it takes the text out of a text field (passed as an object), spell checks the string, then puts it back into the text area field.
My text area is located within a flash form, and I am having trouble pointing to it. I am sure my spell checking program is working, as it works fine if I point to an html text area. Do I have to do something special to point to a flash form object?
I am trying to automate some information retrieval on a subscription web service I belong to, and have had much luck with similar sites using the XMLHTTP com to automatically POST the form data. However, in this case, I can't find the submission handler. The line in the form Code:
the goodform() function is a simple client-side character validator, and does not change or alter the form's ACTION property in any way.
I have never seen a relative ference in a form's action property -- didn't know it could be done. AND, the XMLHTTP POST method will not allow a folder reference -- it has to be a specific file.
Any ideas on how I could find the specific filename for the form submission handler? I have triedalmost every variation of a name I can tink of -- all to no avail. I have also looked at other forms on the server, and all refer to a subfolder under the "servlet" folder, but with no specific file name. For example, the searcvh page form would have an "Action" property of "/servlet/Search"
I have asked the site developer, but they get sketchy about stuff like this, because theoretically, I could allow anyone to access their entire site with just so much as a click of the mouse on my server. I don't want to do that, but it would save enormous amounts of time if we didn't have to do all of this manually.
so I have a html page with the following code included in it:
[Code]....
how would I reference the contents of the text box in a separate Javascript file? I have tried document.form.UserInfo.value and many, many variations and just can't get it to work. I presume it has something to do with the paragraph having the same name?
I've set up a simple form that validates then submits via Ajax using the jQuery Form Plugin by malsup. Everything is working now in FF, Chrome and Safari but it doesn't work in IE (7). I've just tried it out in Opera 10.6 and I get the same lack of functionality. My relevant code includes.
I should be more precise when I say it's not working in IE. When I click the submit button it runs the submit event, including the page scroll (which works). But all the $_POST's in the php file return null values. If I replace the ".ajaxSubmit()" with a "return true;" the normal submit event fires and everything works, but obviously without the ajax, which I need..
I am attempting to create a form that submits with AJAX on each input change using Malsup's Form Plugin. However, I run into a problem on submitting the form the second time when using a browser besides Firefox. In Safari 5, after the second submission the form stops doing the calculations (besides the English to metric conversions). In Internet Explorer 8, the second submission opens a new window with the handler.php page, which the main page refers to. Here is a live link and here is my code:
I have a problem where the .ajaxForm() method provided by the jQuery form plugin cannot see (or does nothing) with matched elements that are loaded dynamically by the jQuery .load() method (which returns HTML in the matched selector's space).So, here's what I have in a nutshell. In the HTML page, I have the jquery and jquery.form script includes (both working OK) in the head. I have a separate script block for the document.ready that encapsulates my jquery.Now, normally I use jquery .load() to load dynamic HTML into my page (a bunch of images), the URL I hand it has a dynamic item ID that it uses to talk to my database, and returns the HTML that I want in this HTML page.
The selector .load() uses is normally an empty div with a unique ID ("#images"). when I have a form element from within this dynamic HTML, any ajaxForm event I attempt to bind to it never occurs.However, if I statically load the page with HTML first, the form plugin can see it and responds to events regarding these items.Both sets of HTML that I have in #images are identical, both static and dynamic. The only difference is that when it's dynamic, I use jquery to replace HTML on the page once the document is deemed "ready".The entire reason why I load it this way is because I have an upload form at the bottom of the page that dynamically (through Ajax form upload) adds images, and re-loads my HTML to add the new image. The forms I'm attempting to run within this HTML deal with removing these images one-by-one.
I am trying to use the jQuery validation plugin to validate my form but cant get it working. I have the script types in the header: <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/jquery.validate.js"></script>
And my Form: <form id="taskentry" method="post"> Trip Date<input type="text" class="required" name="trip[Date]" id="tripDate" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY"/></form>
I tried this but not working: <script> $("#taskentry").validate({ rules: { tripDate: {required: true} } }); </script> How do I implement the validation plugin to use on my form?
I am using this jQuery Form Validation Plugin [URL].. But unable to get proper tutorial to use it in custom way. E.g : I have written a custom form below.. My Query is how can I control validation on a form element.Say in the following textbox named txtPaymentFirstName only Alphabet and space allowed, no special character or numbers allowed , how to do that?
Also I want only in the following textbox txtURL, valid URLs will be written, how to incorporate that rule?
I am using this plugin in order to upload pdf or excel files. I have not problem with Firefox but only with IE. Unfortunately, as I read on the forum, there is an issue concerning getting the response from the iframe, even if I can get the uploaded file. I need that functionality in order to get error messages from the server that will be displayed on the user interface. I know that it will be solved in a future version of the plugin but I wonder if there is a workaround. I made several attempts and I arrived at the point where a cross domain issue stopped me.
Does anyone know how or if this its possible to get the response headers using the jQuery Form Plugin? I've got a success function which needs to get access to a response header I'm setting.
