I have several functions in a .js file that collect various types of information from the visitor, let's just say they are strings, and want to send that information to my database. I have no problem putting the information in my database once I get everything into PHP (I'm relatively new to JS).
Am I able to make a form in the .js file and automatically submit it once all the functions finish? I also need the page not to refresh when sending this information so I'm assuming some AJAX will need to be involved. I was able to send a basic form using some jQuery I found and have the page not refresh but can't figure out how to do the same in a .js file.
<script type="text/javascript"> // wait for the DOM to be loaded $(document).ready(function() { // bind 'myForm' and provide a simple callback function $('#myForm').ajaxForm(function() { }); }); </script>
i have a widget which incllude html script, I am trying to send this widget to people that request it and allow them to use it in their own webpages....I am trying to figure out how to let the person enter information in the "form" and when they press the send button no screen pops up but the information is sent to a textfile in our public html directory....
I'm having a weird problem, not sure if I'm overlooking something or leaving something out. I'm trying to send values of a form to through AJAX to a php script then return a value. It works fine, except the author field is always blank. I've created a simplified version and it still works weird.
This is the javascript used to get the values and send them, when they come back the alert message shows Name as blank. I've looked in the PHP file to see if I made a mistake but I don't see anything.
function postComment() { var author = document.getElementById("author").value; var email = document.getElementById("email").value; var comment = document.getElementById("comment").value; var url = "includes/testComment.php"; request.open("POST", url, true); request.onreadystatechange = showResult; request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); request.send("author="+escape(author)+"&email="+escape(email)+"&comment="+escape(comment));}
function showResult() { if(request.readyState == 4) { var message = request.responseText; alert(message); } }
is there a way of sending data inputted into a form inside a chunk, to an ASP form on a completely external page (i.e on a different, unrelated site)?This is the code I have for the form chunk:
I am doing xmlhttp ajax stuff. I am using a script called "SEXYALERTBOX". I am using it to allow the user to input a password. The textbox is called BoxPromptInput. I do not think its inside a <form> tag.
Here is the code: function askForPass() { Sexy.prompt('Please type the password in order to see the pictures/videos','' ,{ onComplete: function(returnvalue) { if(returnvalue) {
var xmlhttp = false; var pageResponse = null; try{xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");} catch (error){try {xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");} catch (error) {xmlhttp = false;}} .....
Any way to pass the value since I am sure the request.form would not work in this case since its not in a form.
I have a problem with sending data from a form to a php script with AJAX. To test if it works, I try to send data from the form, print it in the php with "echo", and then put it back in the initial html file.
My Javascript code is:
The function stateChanged, basically says:
The problem is that the response is empty, but I don't know why. I have checked the input data and the postData variable says "firstName="+input (e.g. "firstName=Robert"), so that's not the error.
I have a html form which produces 3 post varaibles.
I'd link to be able to call a php file when sumbitted that sends the data from my form and returns the results from my php file to a div on the oringal page.
I know that you can use .load to call a page to be diaplayed within a div $('#container').load('url #div_on_page') but dont know how to send the from data.
Is it possible to upload FILE from form by AJAX ? I capture values on form field and send by ajax call and all works perfect, but when i try upload file it doesn'work. Maybe wron header is set? What do you think of that?
I have a form that asynchronously submits to a PHP file. The PHP file returns the following: PHP Code: echo json_encode($array);
In my Console, I see the following: Response: {"groupname":"XYZ Group","id":4} How do I display that JSON code through jQuery code?
Here's the jQuery code I have so far: Code: $.post("addgroup.php", { groupname:f.groupname }, function(data){ $("#groups tr:last") .clone(true) .insertAfter("#groups tr:last") .html("<td class='tbldata'>"+ /* Returned JSON data (groupname) */ +"</td><td class='tbldata'> /* Returned JSON data (id) */ </td>");
I'm tring to do an AJAX call using a submit button. I need to submit the contents of a textfield to a PHP page.It is working on a <select> tag using the <option> tags to send the contents of the <option> tag to the outside PHP file, but I can't get the syntax right to send the contents of the textfield.

I'm having a weird problem using ajax. I use ajax to create a input field inside a form.
like this:
Before Ajax script
Code:
After Ajax script
Code:
The Ajax script works perfectly. the problem occurs when I try to send the form with the new field. The form doesn't send the field data to test.php. And more weird is that it works on IE, only on FF the problem occurs. Nothing shows in the Errors Console, and I have the last Firefox version.
I'm having a little problem with a jQuery/JS script I just wrote in IE7/8. The problem is the first 2 lines of the returned data are not being displayed (w or wo styling) but only in IE. The strange thing is though if I alert the returned data it's there.
I am trying to replace the names of each link in my html page with $f1 (Page) and replace some content with $f2 (Description).
How would I insert the data from this php file into my html page?
output.php:
mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password); @mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); $query="SELECT * FROM Pages"; $result=mysql_query($query);
I m getting problem while creating a dynamic website. In Ajax I have good tutorial book. but it missing, "how to create XML file filled with data which comes from SQL server. How to retrieve the data from XML file.
I have got my ajax file calling the php file properly and executing some code in it, but nothing will get returned with json_encode().
Right now I am skipping form validation and just trying to get a response back of any sort:
Currently my site just shows the 'processing...' string but will change my css class to indicate a sucess.
Here is my ajax calling the php file:
When I change .html(data.msg) to something like html("<p>hello world</p>") I get the string back. So this line is working, but just not recieving 'data.msg' from my php file.
Relatively new to jQuery but have a problem with getting data to display.Using a webform with 2 forms. User slects and inputs data into the first form, clicks a button then using jQuery .ajax submits the serialized data to a php script. The script processes the input into multiple paragraphs of text which is based on the input from the first form.The data is returned to the webpage and displayed in a text area (of the 2nd form) where the user can edit it to fine tune the wording. The 2 forms are displayed in different tabs so it is easy to move back and forward between the 2 forms.
The problem occurs when the user goes back to the first form and enters or selects different text and then click the submit button to generate a whole new text for insertion into the textarea on the second form. For certain fields the modified text is displayed.However if the whole of the text in the textarea is deleted, then the user clicks the submit button to re-generate the text content area then nothing at all is ever interted into the textarea. If have user alert to check that data is returned from the php handler and this text is correct. BUT when I click on the tab to see the textarea (id is "draftrec") there is no text inserted. The relevant function is below and the line that should insert the text into the textarea is:
I am attempting to do two things and I'm missing a vital element: ajax call to an XML file to be inserted onto a page, FOLLOWED by selecting these newly created elements to apply event handlers on them. I am near certain that the problem is that the selectors are not 'seeing' these elments and it's an issue of running the event handler only AFTER these elements have been loaded.
How do you do this? I already have a $(document).ready(function() { in order which I naively thought would take care of this exact issue...
Is Json considered the better file format for loadind data via Jquery AJAX? I am going to use it either way, but from a cutting edge stand point, is JSON looked at a more cutting edge since it loads faster. 2. And for that matter is anyone using css3 and E4X? All these seem to require the latest versions of all browsers. Since my goal is to be cutting edge I was thinking to do some stuff in the above listed that require only the latest browser if it is detected, if not use what works in most all browsers? What are cutting edge web app developers really doing at this time?
I have an ajax function which passes form field values to a PHP script which in turn saves the data to my database. all works great.
I now need to add a file input to my form and pass the file upload ot the same PHP script.
I have read an article [url] which explains how to do this but this would suggest it is a completely separate function.
My question is, is there anyway I can expand my existing function (below) to inlude the file upload process to save having 2 functions doing the same process?
I'm trying to send data to my server using xmlhttp POST. The data being sent is actually an HTML page that is built with javascript in the browser. The HTML code contains a small javascript function in the <HEAD> section. I applied encodeURIComponent to the data prior to sending it but anything between the <script> </script> tags does not get sent. The tramsmitted data is cought by a Perl script on the server, it handles the input as normal FORM data and writes the html data sent to a file (with the javascript function missing). Maybe I need to do something different related to encoding the chars for an HTML comment (?) ...
Do you know a dynamic way to send 10kb of text or more using an iframe?
