JQuery :: Textarea And Ajax With Serialize Function
Jul 16, 2010
I'm using ajax to process a form. But my form has textareas in them. Its not passing the textarea values. Here is my javascript code:
$.get(
"process_order.php",
$("#order").serialize(),
function(data){
$('#loader').hide();
if(data) {
pTag = "<img src='[URL]' width='200px'><br />Order Saved";
$('#popup').empty();
jQuery("#popup").append(pTag);
jQuery("#popup").dialog('open');
} else {
pTag = "<img src='[URL]' width='200px'><br />There was an error!<br /><font size='1px'>" + data + "</font>";
$('#popup').empty();
jQuery("#popup").append(pTag);
jQuery("#popup").dialog('open');
}},
"html"
);
I just have a simple textarea section and I NEED to allow HTML code in that text area.
.serialize() does not descend into anything other than a form to find inputs, and so to serialize inputs that are not in a form you must specify a selector that grabs each input. I just want to make sure I haven't erred.
//Standard usage $('form').serialize(); //looks for all the named input elements that are inside the element, serializes them //Without a form $('someDivOrTrOrOtherElementNotAnInput').serialize(); //does not serialize any inputs that are inside the element [Code]...
I am usingjquery-simplemodal.js plugin for displaying a modal form. My form is a separate .jspf file, being incuded into my main page. Here is my code:
function showPopup(popupContentId) { //wrap the content div with the border and show the dialog with the following params $.modal("<div class='layerBorderOuter'><div class='layerBorderInner'>" + $(popupContentId).html() + "</div></div>", {modal:true, [Code]...
I am trying to grab some form data that is type ="checkbox" and name=data[], the user can select just one or multiple items. I want to grab the selected items and store them in a javascript variable then I want to pass it into an jquery ajax function inside the data parameter, here is my code but it doesnt work
I can't get the serialize function that is supposed to create a query string to work.My HTML contains one form with one input of type "text" inside it. Both of these return an empty string.
var queryString = $('form').serialize(); var queryString = $('#myInputId').serialize();
I have a form with a textarea that can hold a lot of values. When submitted, a php-script takes over and processes the textarea line by line. When a lot of values is submitted, it can be time-consuming for the php-script, causing the webserver to timeout.
I would like jquery/ajax to send one or a few lines of the textarea to the php-script at a time, hence feeding the php-script with a lot of smaller requests instead of one massive one. Kind of like an upload form with a progress bar, but for textarea values instead of file submition.
I have looked around and failed to find any examples or tutorials on this, and since I'm not very experienced in javascript I would really need it.
So again, the javascript would check the textarea-field when user submits the form, and send one or five values from the field at a time to a remote php-script. In the meantime the user can be presented with a "loading..."-image or a progress bar.
I guess the title says it all. I've generated two checkboxes and two textareas via an ajax requst. When I later on call anoter function I want to get the valus from the textareas and to know if weather the checkboxes are checked or not. But that seem impossible to be as you seem not to be able to select an element generated after the page load, or am I wrong ?
I have an array in a Javascript/jQuery code, and I want to pass it to a php file. It has an arbitrary number of elements in it. So I figured I would use $.post, HOWEVER, I'm sure how I would convert my array into a suitable data-string? $.post("test.php", data); << what should data be when I want to pass an entire array? I looked around a bit on Google and I found the function serialize which seems to do what I want. But it only works on forms and not on arrays...
I'm having some issues with getting the value of a textarea which I fetch with jquery's ajax function.I'm displaying some comments in my ajaxcontent. All the comments have a onClick quoting link which is supposed to send the id of the textarea which is to be quoted.
recently I've updated jQuery from 1.3.2 to 1.4.2 and the serialize of elements where the user can set the order just stopped working. As I googled this, I found out, that the serialization was changed in 1.4.2, but I couldn't find any example that shows how to serialize in 1.4.2 and sen the data to php where the order is saved.
Here's my code that worked perfectly in 1.3.2: $("#list").sortable({ axis: 'y', handle : '.handle',
[Code].....
In jQuery documentation I found out, that you can set it back to the traditional serialization, but where can I set that. How can I get this code to work again normally?
Is it possible to use serialize with just one form field? I am constructing a url to send with $.post and I need to convert the spaces and special characters of a field. Currently this does not seem to work: var news_letter_email = $('#newsletter_email').serialize();
I use to send an HTML array with a standard submit. So, if I send this form :<form
id = "browseForm" >[code]......
and this is not a "valid" HTML array : in fact when I get it on server, it looks like a variable.Tried also with serializeArray(), but it create another strange array. How can I send it as the first example?
I'm trying to achieve something that I originally thought would be very simple, but I can't get it working....and even googling hasn't helped this time! All I want to do is update the innerHTML of a div with the content of a textarea object when a button is clicked. I'm trying to avoid having to post the form using AJAX because the button also replaces the innerHTML of a different div with the value of a text input box. Here is the code I've tried, but it doesn't work:
Code:
function previewContent(intContentId) { var titleText = document.getElementById('edit_title_' + intContentId); var titleDiv = document.getElementById('content_title_' + intContentId);
[Code]....
In this example, the titleText var represents the text input box, and the contentText var is the textarea. The titleDiv gets correctly updated with the current value of the input box, but the contentDiv doesn't seem to consider any changes I make within the textarea - it just loads the original content. This seems very strange to me. Is there an easy way to retrieve the value of the textarea?
I'm using $("form").serialize(), and then doing an AJAX request.JQuery automatically replaces spaces with the + character.(I couple replace the + character with a space on the server side, butI want the users to be able to enter the + character when they submit forms.)
I have a form with an id "modClassForm" when I try:$("#modClassForm").serialize() it returns an empty string ("") When I get the action attribute it's right so it is the form I was expecting. When I do the following:
$("#modClassForm input").val()
it returns "retret" (the contents of the input element in that form). So what is doing this? The only thing I can think of is that this form is loaded from ajax and then placed in the page using the .html(htmlString) method which is rather core to my design. This works in a whole lot of other browsers (IE 9, FF 6-8, Chrome 13-15 and Safari 5). So I know I could try to serialize the fields myself, but the form content has two modes and I'd have to construct a fairly large string and I'm not sure about encoding. Is there any other way to make serialize work? Some way to get it to recognize the contents of the form?
I am using .serialize() to serialize my form... what I want to do is very simple yet I can not get it to work. What I want to do is exclude 2 fields from getting serialized... I tried using .not() without success... here is what I tried so far:
var formdata = $("#myform").not("#field1, #field2").serialize(); var formdata = $("#myform").not(document.getElementById('field1'), document.getElementById('field2')).serialize();
I want to serialize file name of the file being uploaded in the input type file <input type="file">, but when I serialized the form in jquery I just got the input type text and others not the file - how do I do it? is it something jquery fails to achieve?this is the html,
I have created a simple AJAX chat that polls the server every 2 seconds for new messages. The messages are displayed in a div layer, and the user types new messages in a textarea, the only problem is that when a new message appears it takes the focus from the textarea so you have to keep clicking back in the textarea to keep typing. Does anyone know how I can solve this?
