Submitting A Form Without Specifying The Form Name Or Id?
Nov 30, 2009
I am using a custom submit button for my forms. How can I have this button submit the form around it, without me having to manually specify the form name or id?This is what I currently use:
onclick="document.getElementById('form_name').submit();"
I tried this but it didn't work:
onclick="this.form.submit();"
I'm having trouble changing the font color of my labels ONLY when I stop the form from submitting due to blank fields. I'm not sure whether if just changing my CSS will achieve what I want, or am I going to have to add somethig to my if else statement, or both? I would think I would need to change CSS to :
label.onfocus { color:red; }
but a little confused on what else.

I'm handling a form submission event. Is there a way to modifiy the value of a text input within the form before the form is finally submitted? I tried setting the value using, 'val()' - it updated the text field but the value sent with the POST was the original value
I have a form. Upon submit, the data is sent to the server. Under certain conditions, the form is replaced via ajax with a set of radio buttons that offer the user a a choice.I need to access the radio buttons before I submit the form again.Normally I could just access the buttons with getelementbyid but it is not available, presumably because they were generated via ajax.I could submit the form just to access the radio buttons and then submit it again, but I'd like to avoid that.
I am trying to submit a form in frame2 after I submit a form in frame1. Here's what i have but its not working. It's not even reloading frame2's page.: Code:
I have two frames. Frame "search" contains a search form specifying an onsubmit action like so:
<form ... ... </form>
The other frame contains a <img ... where the perform_search function is defined as follows:
<script language="JavaScript"> function perform_search() { var frame = parent.frames.search; var form = frame.document.forms.mainForm; form.submit(); } </script>
Now, when hitting Return in the search form, then foo() is called fine. But when clicking on the <img ... in the other frame, foo() is NOT called.
Is expclicitly calling foo() from perform_search() the only way to do it, or is there a magic incantation that might do what I want?
I'm supporting an ASP legacy application and need to implement "autosave" functionality. I have two frames, one that holds tabs displaying different pages a user can select, and the other that holds the page content itself. If a user clicks on another tab without clicking the Submit button, I want to submit the current form for them and do some further processing.
The problem is that top.framename.formname.submit() only works sporadically. Sometimes the document object of the page frame does not exist. Is there any way to "guarantee" that the document object will exist? Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have any suggestions?
I want a customized button with an image for the submit button, and when the submit button has been clicked send the form to the perl script.
Now the form is no problem but the button is, so the question is how do I create a custom button and how do I submit the form with javascript when the button is clicked?
There is a problem with submitting # from the form. Some content get truncated and some variables disappear after submitting. Take a look at the following code and try to fill both fields with: TEST#TEST#TEST
I'm trying to submit form data to mysql. The POST form action calls the .js file, which make a request to the http server, which connects to the database, executes a php script via URL and submits data to be entered. The php script executes inserting data into database, then redirects the page following execution of script. After, submitting the form, the page redirection in the php script works but no data is entered. Trying to figure out why. Here is my httpRequest.
Code:
function submitPrefs() { var URL = './PHP/submitPrefs.php'; var xmlhttp=false;

I am trying to automatically submit a form in an iframe with javascript. My question is whether this is possible or not, and if so how the code should look like to submit the form in the iframe?
this is the form within the iframe that I am trying to submit automatically: <form id="Form2051051" action="nieuw-bericht.2051051.lynkx" method="post" class="form" onsubmit="return ProcessForm( 'Form2051051' );">
This maybe a simple question, but I've never had to do it before.
How do I automatically submit a form, preferably with JavaScript?
I have a form with an action attribute to where to send data, some hidden fields and some radio buttons with default values, a submit button at the bottom, and a javascript timer that starts on the body onLoad event. The trick is that when the timer runs out, I want the form automatically submitted.
It's not showing me the alert. I'm just trying to get that part to show it works. However, what I'm trying to do is add up the values in one and two and the based on adding those two up and then placing that total in the total field. Any ideas on how to do this?
I just noticed that if I use a "submit" button the "onSubmit" function call will be invoked. But if I use a button to call some other javascript and at the end of that javascrip I do something like "form.submit()" the "onSubmit" function call will NOT be invoked. I thought that was wierd. Can anyone shed some light? Here's a small example:
<script type="text/javascript"> function subform() { document.frm1.submit(); } function checkform() { alert('checking form'); return true; } </script> </head>
I have a need to submit a form, but don't need the user to click on a button. How do I do this? Is there some way, using JavaScript, to setup a <form> tag to do this?
I've got a form inside a PHP script that posts to itself, does some processing on the PHP side, and if it looks good, PHP sends a HEADER command that redirects the user out. All was fine until I added a button disabler onSubmit to keep users from submitting twice. Now the form disables the button as requested but just refreshes the page... it doesn't get to the HEADER command.
Recently submitting forms (specifically forms which have javascript attached to them with the submit function) has become very slow. The browser appears to sit there for seveal seconds doing nothing (the page also becomes non responsive) and then suddely loads quickly. This happens on all of my computers... What's happened to javascript? Is there some setting that's been turned on that I'm missing?
$('input#submit').click(function() { //check if compulsory forms are filled if ( //checks if forms are filled)
[Code]....
the whole idea is to submit the form in the *else* block if the condition that all compulsory fields are filled (which is checked in the IF block)...but this only works in Firefox. in chrome and IE, the code execution does not go pass the "Processing Form Submission Please Wait" that is shown. The *return true* line never gets executed which is the one that actually send the form...
I have a asp.net web form that I need to validate before submitting. I've tried the AJAX Control Toolkit but I was having problem with multiple ValidationSummary control conflict. So, my next option I can think of is to use jQuery. First of, how do I test to see if a textbox is blank or not? If blank, output a message to a asp.net Label control on the page and stop the web form submission. Second, if the validation succeeds, proceeds to submitting the web form.
