I want to make a form run a php file, but only when I select an item from the listbox. I can't seem to find the info online but I thought u guys might know, below is what I have that doesn't do anything on selecting an item from the listbox Code:<select name="prodcategory" onchange="javascript: form.action='reportmanual_getcategoryproducts.php';">
I wrote the following code. So when the user presses the button it should select the second item in the list box. Would someone mind helping me fix this code so it works? Code:
I'm in the middle of adding some validation functionality to an inventory tracking form.
What I would like to do is have one dropdown menu/Listbox(Part Number) and another text field (Product Description).
When the user selects an item from the drop down (IE 12S0FB) it will autopopulate the text field with a description of the product. At the moment I will hard code the values in.
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
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:
I have countries listbox, for instance if i choose singapore listbox it should display the corresponding states listbox of singapore, if i chose anyother country it should display a label saying "ENTER STATE" followed by a blank textbox.
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]
Now my question is how can I make the javascript method general enough so I can pass in any form so that it does not have to refere to "myform" in the body. I tried the following but it doesn't work:
function MySelectSeubmit( aform ) { document.aform.submit(); }
I have an ASP.net page where I load a record set server side and upload it into a listbox. I'm trying to do all the movement functionalities of the listbox items client side. Specifically, I'm trying to figure out how to copy selected listbox items from one listbox to another -- on button click. I've searched for a while, but every example that I found moves the actual item into another listbox, I just want to copy the selected item to another listbox.
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.
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 two <button> elements. One button loads the page with the associated form data whilst the other triggers a download. IE6/7 does not handle <button> tags correctly. IE6 will submit all buttons regardless of which you click and uses the button content as the value, instead of the value as the value. IE7 submits just the clicked button, but still submits the content as the value, not the value.
To get around IE's issues with <button> I use JS to manipulate the DOM so hidden input fields are generated with the correct value and the button names are removed so they're not submitted at all.
This works, except in my specific situation for my download button. Because it triggers a download, the page you are on remains, and remains with the manipulated DOM, which means the form doesn't work properly anymore.
I would like to know if there's a trigger of some sort that would allow me to revert the DOM changes when the form is submitted but the page remains. I hope that makes sense. Oh, and there's no need to suggest using <input type="button" /> instead of <button>. That's not a solution.
i have a css/div box, and i have a login form. what im tryn to do is make it so that when i login, it it takes whats in the action of the form and shows it in the div box. the div box is like one of those cool popup boxes, it's done by using javascript and css.
anyway, the div box works. the login form works. i just haven't been able to figure out how to get it to appear in the div instead of into a new page.
I want to change a form action url based on user input, and I used hyperlink to submit a form (since I have lots of rows like this and each has different values passed to javascript select_claim() function.). But it doesn't work! I have very simple php code here, but the it is the javascript problem.
HTML Code: <form action="" method="post" name="smForm" id="smForm"> <table>
I'm having a bit of problem writing some javascript that will dynamically update the 'action' of a form when the form is submitted.
Its for an Image Upload script which performs a binary read on the uploaded image, meaning I have to POST the form, but must pass any additional parameters to the Image Upload script via the querystring.

My submitform() function needs to set the action of form5 to :
I've been struggling trying to get a small order form to work the way I want it to. Here is a link to the live page: [URL] And here is the code in question:
[Code]...
I have two questions...
Question 1 How can I make this piece of script act a little smarter. Look at the order form, I'm catering for up to 4 people and providing lunch for them. If they select 3 people and the spaghetti bol for lunch, it's only adding $10 where it should be adding $30. Obviously this is simple multiplication but since the values in my form are prices it makes it a little tricky. I'm guessing an onselect on the first part of the form which changes the pricing of the other items would be the way to go, but how do I do this?
Question 2 The "Total Price" is placed before the <form> tag by the script. This is ok but it's not where I want it. How can I position this text elsewhere in the document?
How does one cause a form element to appear ONLY if a certain form selection is made before it?
That is for example say there is a form element of type Radio called "format" so only if they select format value = normal then the form input fields called URL and Name are to appear as the next choices otherwise form input field Group and checklist Places are to appear as the next choices.
I want to change attribute action in form. Problem is that in that form is also input with name action. Unfortunately renaming of that input is worst case because many servlets depend on it.
This works in konqueror but not in IE and Mozilla:
After clicking the link and reading the advertisement, I go on "logging in" on the first window. After I submit, the form data, username, password and all is submitted to a third party..
