Script To Handle Form Posting Action?
Jan 28, 2009
I'm trying to create a search form that will post to one of two different URLs (one internal, one external) depending on the selection of a particular field. For some reason, I've never quite got the grasp of javascript ...Basically, the form has two fields. One is the <input='text'> search field, the second would be a <select> field to indicate the type of search to be made (long story, won't go into details here).So let's say the select field name is 'searchType' and the option values are simply '1' and '2'. here's my miserable failed attempt that I reckon is on the right track but with many errors:
Code:
function checkSelect() {
var $internal = 'action="http://www.internalsite.com"';
var $external = 'action="http://www.externalsite.com"';
[code].....
Then in the <form>, I just do an onSubmit="checkSelect()" ?

I have come across a very interesting problem that seems to be impossible to solve. Basically a web application that I am working on relies on a JavaScript function called go to change the input named view to the page name and submit the form. This form's type is post, so no values are included in the actual URL string. There is also another input called action and it's value is view. This is to tell the application that the user would like to view a page. The problem is because of the variables being of method post, page refreshes and back and forwards return errors because the post variables view and action aren't sent with the required data. To somewhat solve this problem I have created a feature that tells the application that if the post value page is empty then to try and get a GET var called page. To insert this var into the go javascript function I simple add this code
document.go.action = document.go.action+"&page="+page;
This line basically adds &page=[page] to the action of the form. The problem is, this code doesn't work because action is also the name of a form element. Referencing document.go.action refers to the input element named action and not to the form's action. Changing the named of the action input value is out of the question (Way to much changing of code, and possible room for error). What can I do to change the action of the form without referencing the input named action. Here is my go form and the JavaScript code:
<form name="go" action"index.php?sid=123" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="view" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="" />
</form>

I have a very weired problem (which is not easy to describe.. but I'll do my best):I have a html page with several forms , only one of the got the action="ComputeAndReturn" and the other forms got only name="" tag.the problem is that after i submit the form with the action , and than after a computatioon it returns to the original page, now... if i will submit any of the forms without the action=.they will act as if they were defined action="ComputeAndReturn" (altho they are not!)if they were defined from the first time with action="anything", and than i would submit the form with action="ComputeAndReturn" this problem would not appear (the other forms will keep their action="anything" and would not "imitate" the action= "Compute AndReturn" to them selfs...
any ideas how can i keep my forms without action="" , cause all i need them to do is be submitted to pass the submitted value to other form inside that page.[code]

I have a webpage with a form inside it. Below the form is a div. When you submit the form it executes some javascript that adds a bunch of html to the div. I can step through the code in the Chrome debugger and see my dom changes are there, but disappear as I get to the original tags in the page. Is there anyway to prevent this?

I have a table with dynamic html that contains drop down select lists
and readonly text boxes. Dynamic calculations are done on change of a
value in one of the drop down select lists.
For my first iteration the script works fine ( indicating that there
are 33 form variables ). When trying another dropdown select value, the
form elements.length is shown as 33 ( as about ) BUT the script then
crashes with a 'null value' error. I cannot access any of the form
variables - this works in all other browsers and platforms.

What is the simplest way to gather data from a form enter it into a
server-side html page?
I'd like a new entry for each new post ...
.... effectively an a html data base
BTW, can this be done purely in html without the use of a scripting
language?

I have a form and select menus. I am posting it ajax post method and loading the same page with load method as you see in codes. There is a random number genarator. I want to change this random number once a click submit. If i do not load the same page this number does not change. Therefore I use both post and load methods like in demo. However when i do like this there is a problem which is random number have been generated twice somtimes. If you click submit button successively you will see that the number on left top corner sometimes changes twice a click. Why it is so and how can i correct it.

I am making a small image annotation tool for research purpose. I have many images shown to a <user> and the person has to click on the image to enter further information about the image.
I would like to POST information about the <user> which is same for all images and also some fields containing the image information to php page containing next level of processing (the page is again same for all image and takes the user and image information as POSTed information).
So I was wondering if there could be a javascript function which i can put like onclick=submitform(imgname, imgA etc.) which submits a FORM with user information (same for all images hence not passed) and image information (strings containing info abt the images e.g. name, quality rating etc.) fields to another php page.
I could put forms for each image but I am dealing with hundreds of images here.

I have a form that would create a post -- everything looks great but my method is post(which is what I want). When I click the submit button, I want to check the form then post, if all fields are cleared for take off. If I have <input type="submit" then regardless of the outcome of my jscript, the form calls the php script that i have listed but if I have <input type="button" then after the script is run and confirms the fields for me, the post doesn't take. Basically, I think what I have to do here is POST with my jscript but I can't seem to figure out how. Am I way off base here or what?

I have a form with 12 fields. This form submits the information for registering a student for courses that we offer. Currently, it only handles one registration at a time and is kind of clunky.I want to present the user the capability to register more than one person at a time. Essentially adding multiple users' info at once before submitting the form.I also want to have an area above the form that shows a list of people that they enter in a select,which will later be modified to have checkboxes so they may remove them, if needed.

Here's the JS:
HTML Code:
$("#select_2").hide();
$("#select").click(function(){
if ($("#option_1").not(":selected")){
$("#select_2").hide();
}
if ($("#option_1").is(":selected")){
$("#select_2").show();
}});
The HTML goes something like
HTML Code:
<select id="select">
<option value="something">something</option>
<option value="something else">something else</option>
<option id="option_1" value="option_1">OPTION 1</option>
</select>
<select id="select_2">
<option value="something">something</option>
<option value="something else">something else</option>
</select>
I have a form that shows a drop down of choices. If the user selects 'OPTION 1' from the list, they are shown another drop down with more choices. The second drop down is hidden by default and shown only if 'OPTION 1' is selected. This works fine when using the mouse, but the user can tab to this field, choose 'OPTION 1', and the next field does not show because of my onclick event handler. Is there a way I can look for either the keyboard or the mouse?

I want to download the records of the output of search criteria to excel. As the fields for search criteria are more than 20. I am submitting the form with POST method rather than GET.
On click of "Download2excel", the hidden variable name1 is set to Yes. so i will check the condition in my code. Once the download is successful, I want to reset the variable.
Here is a sample structure of my code.

I need to add an input hidden field to an existing form (post).
I have tried a couple things like adding the '<INPUT type=hidden
name=idSelectedURL value=http://server/documents>' to the innerHTML of
the form but it fails. ie
var sField = "<INPUT type=hidden name=idSelectedURL
value=http://server/documents>";
frm.innerHTML = frm.innerHTML + sField;
also, trying to add an element to the form such as:
var frm = document.getElementById("idForm");
var oField = frm.createElement ('input');
oField.type ="hidden";
oField.name = "idSelectedURL";
oField.value ="http://server/documents";
none of these work and give me a javascript error.
I don't think the createElement method can be used from the form
object, only from the document object. still could not get it working.

Need some working sample code to post hidden form data from a php page
to a new popup window. 540 x 500 centered. The popup that I'm calling
already is formatted and has a TITLE:web-2007.php so what I need to do
is to write the values from the PHP page to that popup in specific
places.
Some of the hidden values are also like this format;
<input type="hidden" name="handling" value="<?php echo $_POST["sub"];?>">
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="<?php echo $_POST["email"];?>">
Right now,the hidden input fields are on a PHP page, and I'm calling the
popup from the generated PHP page like so:

i am having a few problems with my form and i was hoping someone can help me understand what i am doing wrong. I'm new to java and scripting for forms. Usually i use Simfatic Forms to build my forms but this form requires special coding and work. I'm build a 5 table form with a dynamically add and remove function that will allow the user to add more Rows to the form.
What i would like the add function to do is allow my users to pick from a Dropdown menu how many rows they would like to add to the form from 1,5,10,15,20,25 rows. I have gotten the form to allow the add function of one row only but i cant get the add function to allow the select from list.
when the row repeats it wont repeat the datepicker to a workable map or the number system from 5+ in table ren5 i have the page up on my site for testing purposes so you can see what is going on. Another issue im having is when i submit the form to my formtools it takes all the input info and puts it in one line in the datebase. What im trying to do is have each table submit to its own row in the datebase.
What im looking for is help understanding what i need to do to make this work. I have been reading a lot of tutorials and have been searching a lot of help sites but everything i have read and tried so far will not work for what im trying to do.
I really need help getting this to work in the next couple of days. Here is the link to the page on my server so you can see what is going [URL]..

I'm writing a web page, which should interact with pages on another server using an iFrame. I want to use a form on the parent page to post to the URL on the iFrame and capture the response, without reloading the parent page.
Here are the details:I have a FORM on the parent JSP page, with some session data in hidden fields. The point to note is that the whole session data is on the client side, in encrypted form. This data should be posted to the server for each request, synchronous or asynchronous.Now, I need to call an application on a server on a different domain. For this purpose, I am using an iFrame. The session data in the parent page should also be passed to the application in the iFrame.

I have a form which needs posting the php script below. (I sent my vars to a
cookie, which I have read correctly). This is the form command used in
hoping to process my information.
<form method="POST" action="scripts/WebContractor.php" name="bizinfo"
id="bizinfo">
Since most of this is new to me, please let me ramble in my thought process.
1. post the vars to a cookie
2. post the form pointing to the php script
3. read the vars in the php script
4. send the info from within the script
When I submit my form, I receive a dialog box stating the downloading this
file can be dangerous. What happens is the php script is downloaded to my
desktop - not executed. Code:

I have a form with a name, and action, a post method.
In rare occasion I want the form action to be different to the default
action, so I do this: document.formName.action = "newURL";
This works fine under Mozilla, but does not work under IE5, 5.5 or 6,
it says: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?

When I run the following code, none of the set's are being done. Most important one for me is the action attribute.
