I want to disable a form when I submit it. The first reason is because I do not want the form submitted more as once. For this I could disable the submit button(s). But I also want the values not be changed during the submit. Is this possible?
View 10 RepliesI'm looking for a way to disable an entire form until someone checks a check box. I would like it if the form is visible but has a "grayed out" look, and cannot be submitted.
So by default the form elements are all disabled. Once the checkbox is clicked the elements are enabled.
I just wonder if this is even possible, I'm not a jquery programmer by any means, but I hope I can use it for the purpose of my project. I know wordpress includes jquery automatically, so I wanted to see if I can take advantage of it

Does "document.formName.elementName.disable" work on hidden form text

category as it is needed. Code:

I'm using jquery validation plugin but i don't know how to do a thing:I'd like to enable a text field after selected a value from a selection list.The select field is this:
<select name="examples" id="examples">
<option value="N">Normal</option>
<option value="A">Abnormal</option>
[code]....
Everywhere proposed solution
$('form').submit(function() {
$(":submit").attr("disabled", "disabled");
});
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?
What I want to do is: disable the submit button while not all form fields are filled out and eneble it when the form fields are filled out. Disabling works, the enabling doesn't, at least not 'automaticly'. All of the code is in the $(document).ready(function(){}
I have this code:
checkAll();
function checkAll()
{

How do I disable the submit button if all required fields in a form are not filled in? Say I have a form with Name, Age,message, and email. Name, message and email must be filled in or else the submit button will not show or will be disabled and then enabled once filled. If the fields are filled in then the submit button will show. If the fields are filled in but then one is deleted then the submit button will hide. Ideally if I can have it disabled that will work, if not I will settle on hide at this point.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with the following structure:
<form onsubmit="getsearchdata();">
lots of input boxes here
<input type="submit" name="submit" onsubmit="getsearchdata();">
</form>
In Opera, whenever someone presses the <enterbutton, the form is
submitted and the onsubmit does not event get any attention. When the
submit button is clicked, it obviously works.
What I want to do is possible. This is part of the code from a larger check-in form.
This code adds a new row as needed and should also enable the text fields only after the check box is selected.
It is not working as expected and I am missing what the problem may be or if this is even possible.

this script play on the disable option of form elements...
but in order to set it up i need to write all the "name" of all form elements inside the
<input type="checkbox" name="control1" onclick="enableDisable(this,'day','month','year','hour','min')" />
'day','month','year','hour','min' - those are just examples...i got much more of elemets...
how can i make this script recognize all the elements inside <form name="example1"> by itself...with no need from my side to specify all elements like this (this,'day','month','year','hour','min')" Code:
I've been getting some complaints from my users: when filling out forms, while on a select box, pressing the backspace key would actually mimick pressing the back button (like history.go(-1) ...)
Then I realized that if the user wasn't in a textbox or a textarea, pressing the backspace key would send them back one page. Now I've got a multi-page form in an iFrame and that's really screwing their inputs up as it loses all the information entered in that form (pressing back doesn't submit/post backwards... I wish it would!).
So anyway, here's the script I'm using on all my pages so that the user won't 'accidentally' go back a page. (In my opinion, with my users anyway, a user shouldn't need to hit the backspace unless they're in a textbox or a textarea).
//so backspace doesn't go back
document.onkeydown = checkForBackspace;
function checkForBackspace() {
//we can backspace in a textbox
if(window.event.srcElement.type.match("text")) {
return true;
}
if(window.event && window.event.keyCode == 8) {
// try to cancel the backspace
window.event.cancelBubble = true;
window.event.returnValue = false;
return false;
}
}
This is IE only. srcElement is an IE thing.. I believe most other browsers use target. I don't know what else would be different, but anyway, that's what I'm using.
BTW: If you're wondering why anyone would press backspace in a selectbox, well I recently showed them that you can press the first letter of an item in the list to quickly jump to that item. Well, perhaps naturally, if they press the wrong key, instead of pressing the right key, they try to hit backspace first. Just if you were curious... I guess checkboxes and radios could be similar?
I've got the following code being used to make a checkbox selected and readonly when a radio button value is selected:
document.myForm.valueName.checked = true;
document.myForm.valueName.disabled = true;
However when submitting the form values in email, the value of the checkbox won't submit with the checkbox value being disabled (if I comment out that second line, it works). Of course, I don't want the value able to be unselected.
Any suggestions? Can I make it readonly instead?
I have a form, in that form element I have a Date element. I use this script available at [URL] CalendarPopup to get the date from the user. Since, I want the date in a specific format (which the CalendarPopup script gives me) so I want the user to use the calendar popup rather than inputting the field by their hands . How is this possible? I disabled the form element but that won't let me use the calendar popup too
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm a absolute beginner in Javascript But have manage to create a script that disable one textfield when a checkbox is checked.

I have a checkbox at the top of the page, and then I have a form full of text fields etc, called 'frmEnquiry'.
I would like the form to be disabled (or the text fields, elements etc) when the checkbox is not enabled, and when ticked i would like it to be enabled.
Is there a function or way round this?
Assume there's a form with it's action attribute all set to post to a
URL, but without a submit control. Form submission is done via a link
and I want to prevent the classic "double submit". Ignoring the server
side of things, does anyone see any holes with the following script? It
seems to work, but I'd appreciate other eyes on it. Maybe a
try/catch/finally wrapper of some sort to be sure the link is
re-enabled in the face of an exception. I understand there are (many)
other ways to do this (e.g. temporarily "remove" the link), but I'm
mostly curious about the this.onclick=falseFn/this.onclick=arguments.callee combo and any potential gotchas....
As it's a charity, there are some variables such as whether or not to claim Gift Aid from the tax man. Therefore, various table inputs need to be optional. My initial thought was a longwinded dropdown of the various options. For example, if they want us to claim gift aid, the option to fill in name/address etc needs to become available. I just need to know how to disable the form section.

I am trying to disable the submit button and submit the form onclick
<input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="this.type='button'this.form.submit();" value="send message" style="color: #000080; border: 1px solid #336699; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family:Verdana; font-weight:bold">
Wondering if there's a better way than what I'm doing to disable that when a user presses Enter, the form is submitted.
I'm catching the enter key onkeydown events. And it works fine on input boxes but I noticed that if a user selects something on a drop down menu and presses the enter key, the form is also submitted. As far as I know drop downs don't have an onkeypress event.
Is there a way to cancel form submission when the Enter key is pressed? Or any ideas how to catch this event on a drop down?
