Passing A JS Variable To Python Using Post And Cgi-bin?
Aug 15, 2011
I am trying to create a button on a webpage with HTML/JS that upon clicking will 1) pass a single variable into my python script and 2) run the script. The single variable to be passes is already a declarative variable in the html page.
var userid=urlvar['userID'];
I have an instance implemented using cgi-bin that takes some user information from the form (detailed below A) and calls a python script (see below B) to return a new page displaying that information. I am looking for a way to pass the value from var userid as the "form.value" and then use that value for some specific processing objectives already designed (I have no need to return any information to the webpage).
A---In the html page:
<form method="POST" action=http://ip_address/cgi-bin/test_doneButton.py>
<p>Your first name: <input type="text" name ="firstname">
<p>Click here to submit form: <input type="submit" value="Yeah!">
I can't seem to get a variable declared from within a post callback, so that I could manipulate my script accordingly. I have delete.php, that deletes an id from a mysql db. If it fails, I want the script to stop and display the error. The .php script echos an "ok" if everything went fine, if not - it echos the error.var abort_error; // set the error variable
I am developing a web form using python cgi which has two list boxes. On selecting a value from the listbox1, the list box 2 should get auto populated with appropriate values (which are taken from the DB). I have written a javascript function to get the selected value from the list box1. But I am struck with passing the values from the javascript to the python function written in server side in which I have written the DB related stuffs.
Code:I am having problems with the following. I am wanting to hide <tr> in my table (employees) and only show employees that are in the selected department (selected via dropdown box).I need to set a javascript array to a php array. I am looping and assigning the array and am wanting to pass a javascript variable as the index in php array. I have marked my problem lines in red. Thanx for any help.
<script type="text/javascript" > function display_elements() { var departments = new Array;
I have a div on my page that is populated by a php calendar. The calendar also has month and year input fields so that the user can browse to different months. I would like to create a jquery function so that, when a user changes the month or year field, the div reloads the calendar and passes the selected month and year variable back to the php script. Here is what I have on my page:
<head> <script type="text/javascript"> function startCalendar(month, year) {
Note: answers along the lines of 'use jquery' or 'use (insert wellknown framework)' is not helpful.Frameworks such as jquery includes alot of extra code which is not nessary at all for what I am doing. 'But, you can include one from Google', yes that may be the case, but I prefer to keep to my own code. With that in mind, lets proceed to the problem.
I have an ajax call which doesn't pass POST vars through on IE7/IE8, but only on odd occasions. It appears to be extremely random and the majority of the time it does work. I am had a look at jquery and cannot see much difference in the way it works compared to this custom one.
There are different ways by which values of variables can be passed between forms. One of the ways is to use the setTimeout to pass the values or data. Here the biggest advantage is we can pass data to a different site even running automatically.I would need from someone a bit of help to pass the variable links from form1 to variable strLink in form2 using SetTimeout.We have the following schema:An options select menu where value of the option, sent with a submitted form, is specified with the value attribute. In the absence of a VALUE attribute, the value is the content of the option element.
I have several form inputs with a submit link in a modal page, and when I click the submit link I call this function to download a personalized pdf with the GET params.
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.
I'm writing an HTML page that will show a text box to allow me to enter UNIX shell commands and I want to be able to click "submit" and have it call a python script to execute the command and also update the page, but without using any HTTP calls.
The reason for this is I'm trying to develop a plugin for gtk-desktop-info which is a python program that displays HTML as your desktop background. Normally, to update information we just pass an interval parameter and the page is updated every x seconds. I'm trying to see if it's possible to just use javascript to call a python script when a button is clicked. I'm not well-versed on javascript so I don't know if it'd be possible.
do you know if it's possible to call a python script in html page?? I want call my script pyhton and I have a html with javascript but I don't know how, do you have an example??
When an image is clicked, I need to generate a variable which is then passed to a .php page. The variable is simply a 3-digit number. I was thinking of something like this:
Which I found by googling it, but I don't know what to substitute for the document.myform.submit in my own code. I also don't know how to use the variable.
I am trying to write code to allow a person select one photo to be their base image or Front cover image on a photo album. I am using jquery .post to get the form check box values which are the image file names and then use post to throw them to a php file and then update the database.
Now thats cool so far and that part works. Now the problem is that I need the main photo album picture to be replaced once the .post if completed or succeeded. I need to refresh the main image. Right now the only way to do it is to hit the refresh button on your web browser. Yet I want to do this without refreshing the page.
The Image displayed already is in a image html tag with a id named user_main I was thinking is it possible for .post to pass back to javascript a variable that has the image source and is there any way to update that image tag easily like where it says src="path to image" is located.
Would like to know the best way to refresh the image without having to refresh the page.
The Form id as returned from the Controller side is saved in the variable getformid correctly, But it is not reflected in the savefield ajax post..And it is saving as 0 only even it alerts as the returned Form id..
In addition i am giving here the Code inmy Controller for saveForm:
What I need to do, and it shouldn't be that difficult is this:page1.html - there is a yellow button and a red button - if the user clicks on the yellow button I want to set a cookie with the value "yel" then load the next page - if they click the red button set that cookie with the value "red"page2.html - 'onload' i want to read that cookie and load up the main image to match, something like this maybe?...
document.mainimage.src='img/main_' + variable + '.png'so that the path would be for example 'img/main_red.png'Any help please? Preferably javascript only and as simple as possible. If you think this would be easier sending that variable in the URL instead of as a cookie.
I think this is what I am trying to do, I am pretty new to javascript so I'm not sure... but here is my question... I got this function below.
function getProductInfo(id) { var sku = window.document.InvoiceForm.Item0Sku.value; alert(sku); }
when I use the 0 I get the right value back, however whenever I try to pass it the id variable with a value of '0' I can't seem to compose the concatenation correct in order to recieve the correct value.I either recieve errors or the whole window.document.InvoiceForm.Item0Sku.value string back in the alert, what am I doing wrong?
In this function, I'm trying to set the value of isValid with the results of $.post:
[Code]...
Unfortunately, isValid never changes from the initial "true". I know that $.post is working correctly because #msg_code reflects the corresponding message.
I have two events in a form that I am passing. One is to a javascript function, the other is to the same .asp page only with another action to show different data.
Onchange is calls the function updateclasses, which in turn reloads another drop-down list. It also reloads the .asp page, which refreshes the data. My problem is that it refreshes the second drop-down briefly, until the page reloads, but then resets the form. How do i pass this data to the .asp?
I thought in the .asp, I could just do something simple like the following, but wasn't sure of the correct syntax. is there a better way?
view = request.querystring("view") if view = "" then view = "SciLink" else %> <script language="JavaScript"> updateclasses(form1, 0, Student) </script> <% end if
I have a site that calls the function welcome() and displays a prompt. The same site also has an iframe that calls the next function, add_name(), but when the pages are loaded it says that "answer" is undefined.It says on the page, where the <p id="guest"></p> is, "Welcome undefined". How do I make it so that the value of answer, which is given onLoad of the 1st page with the prompt, is displayed as text in function add_name()?
[CODE] function welcome(){ var x = document.getElementById("body");
