On an HTML page with 2x different forms, how can I redisplay the same
page after a submit, restoring the values from BOTH forms even though
only one was submitted?
I have an existing PHP program that I am modifying, and need to
redisplay the same page after a submit (the button that submits is a
"change shipping" button, that allows the user to continue with the
rest of the page). The problem is that there are TWO forms - the one
that allows you to change shipping, and the other where the user can
fill in the billing address. Making this into one form is not really an
option, due to how the program is set up.
Since they are 2 different forms, submitting the "change shipping" form
does NOT bring the billing address fields to my PHP code in the POST.
This makes restore difficult.
I have a couple of kludgy ideas on how to work around this (mostly
javascript based - e.g. setting hidden fields in the "change shipping"
form when the user is changing the billing fields). However, I was
wondering if there were any other easy solution to acheive this.
how to save form values in cookies, etc. for use when re-displaying the forms. for example, after an error has been detected. Naturally, PHP allows you to do this with $_SESSION variables.
But no one seems to have cracked the problem with FORMs having file uploads. Browsers will send the file to the server and the name, but not the path on the client computer (I suppose for security reasons).
So, if you want to re-display the page, you can fill in all the form data in your PHP script so that the user doesn't have to re-enter everything. But, since your PHP script only knows the NAME of the uploaded file, and not the path, whatever your fill in for the "xxx" in <input type="file" value="xxx" /> will be wrong.
I have a search interface that I'm building that uses radio buttons, jump menus and a keyword search text box.
Is there a way to have a little "go" button next to the text field that will submit just the search string in the text box to my searchresults.php page?
Right now, any submit button I put within the page submits all parameters from my radio buttons and jump menus in addition to the keyword values. I would like the keyword entry box information only to be used if there are any values in it and have any other variables (e.g. from the radio buttons) to be null so I don't get a search with keywords AND radiobutton values. Of course, if nobody clicks the radiobuttons, no problem, no values are passed, but I'm sure some pesky user will have some checked and then decide to do a keyword search...
I'd rather send the info to the same PHP results page, so I don't want other values to muddle up the keyword results. I'm sure I could erase the other values with an 'if keywords=anything then other variables are null' statement, but I want the user to think they're only submitting the keywords from the entire page (which is what a 'go' button next to the field would imply) and I thought there might be a simple way.
I have a form with a text field and a submit button. I don't want the form to submit if the text field is filled in correctly. for example a email address typed in the text field area. I'm working with spry validation but i guess i need to add some kind of onSubmit event, with javascript. I have some idea but not sure what to fill in by the "if statements" in the script.
My first day with jquery, and I've just been playing around a little but have run in to a problem in Firefox.
I've set up a basic form with a name and a button (not submit) and one text field.
All it does right now is open an alert box when the button is clicked. That's fair enough. However, in Firefox, if I have the text field selected and hit enter, it doesn't press the button.
How would I go about making sure the enter key presses the button? I'd like to avoid using onclick and a method in the form if possible. My aim eventually is to post data and return it without a page refresh instead of create an alert box.
I have a web form with several fields. If I copy & paste from a RTF document into a field, the javascript validation and field length are bypassed and cause the form to fail.
Rather than have several different pages, an app was designed to have different sections, all on one page. To get to the different sections the browser is scrolled down. It may take several submits before everything gets filled out correctly. The user complained because the page would not scroll to the previous position, code was installed to save and restore the page position, but it doesn't always go to the same place. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. Two text boxes are used to save position, and the page is regenerated with x and y as literals by the server. The problem seems to be what values are saved as the page is submitted. Code:
i think this will help people a lot, cuz i couldn't find any simple answer by googling 3 hours...i need a very very simple jquery form field reset.here is the picture what i need:
HTML Code: <script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js'></script> <script>
On my form I have 3 submit buttons which handle different things.I am looking for a way to stop or continue form execution with a confirm box on the third submit button and the third only.I can't use onsubmit because that will trigger on all three buttons.
I haven't used much Javascript before and I have a question about the following code. I've taken it from this tut [URL] and changed it a bit so it applies an expand/collapse functionality to a floating sidebar on the side of a website I'm working on.
When I remove the background on the toggle function, it refuses to come back. I have a feeling it's a simple solution, I just don't know what syntax to fill into the second part of the conditional to restore the background image. I've tried display, show, an actual path to the image...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function toggle() { var bar = document.getElementById('floater'); var barText = document.getElementById('f_news');
I have a contentEditable element, and am using setTimeout() to call a function which changes the innerHTML of the div. Problem is that changing innerHTML moves the caret to the end of the text.
I need to keep the caret pos so the user can keep typing. I tried storing the caret pos with cursorPos=document.selection.createRange().duplicate();
And then later restoring it with cursorPos.select() - which is IE only, but it doesn't work because the content of the div gets changed between calls, and the behavior is undefined (it basically selects everything) ...
In the following .submit function, I am attempting to grab the value of the selected option in the facilityCodes dropdown list when I click the submit button and then during the submit function,select the facilityCode again in the dropdown list when the page reloads and then disable the list so that the user cannot change it.However,the situation is when I reload the page after the submit button is clicked the dropdown defaults to the first option and the list is enabled.I apparently am not understanding how.submit works so that I'm selecting the option I'm defining in my code below and then disabling the list AFTER the page reloads due to an error on the page. My question is how can I accomplish this?Here is my code:
$(function() { $("#ARTransferForm").submit(function() { var msgsCount = 0;[code]....
The following will submit the form data to popup by clicking the submit button. I want it will submit the form automatically to the popup, there is no submit button in this page. Basically this page should not show up.
I'm using mailchimps signup box (they don't have a decent forum to ask on) on my website and want to adjust the submit button and change it to a normal link. Here's the button that submit's the form:
Trying to create a method/function how ever you want to call it, that will allow me to clear input values on inputs with focus() and restore the input values if nothing is entered or keep what the user types on focusou().[code]
I have a page with many forms that I need to change from a post to an ajax call. That part is working, no problem, but now I want to disable the submit button while it's waiting on the server response and then re-enable it when the response comes back.
I can't figure out what my selector should be to get the submit button of the form that's being submitted. What should I be using instead? Also, if the call errors out, I'd like to just post the form as usual.
I have a php form and it has 3 submit buttons namely "delete" , "update_quantity" and "place_order".They all work fine but I want to build in a check for each one just in case the user click one of the buttons by mistake.So Each one must have a different message like for delete it must be, "Are you sure you want to delete Record nr ......" OK or Cancle. And for update " Are you sure you want to update Quantity to....." OK or Cancle.
