Canceling The Submition Of A Form
Jul 20, 2005
i have a form made up of 2 file inputs and a submit button..
the imputs are to upload images, namley jpeg's for a e-greatings thing im
working on.
this only works with jpegs so i have a script that will check the value of
the imput tag to make sure it ends with .jpg, .jpeg.
this works fine on the jubmit button using
onclick="myHandler(this)"
it works fane that it alerts the user that only jpegs are valid but then
when the alert
has been ok'd it continues to submit the form to my php script.
how can i get this to cancle the submit action?

I have code that looks like this:
function setupEventWrapper(obj) {
old_ev_handler = obj.onsubmit;
obj.onsubmit = function () {
do_something();
if (old_ev_handler != undefined) {
old_ev_handler();
}
if (event_cancelled()) {
undo_something();
}}}
it wraps the onsubmit handler (if any) within a new function which
do_something() and then calls the old event handler.
My problem is how can I detect if the event has been canceled by
old_ev_handler(). AFAIK an event can be cancelled in three ways:
* returning false, easy to check for
* setting event.returnValue = false on IE, easy to check for
* calling event.preventDefault() on DOM
How can I check if event.preventDefault() has been called?

I have two javascript onloads in my form which seem to be cancelling each other out. The first- onload="checkMyBox"- works fine, which means the calendar stays hidden until the ckeckbox is clicked. However the second script that is supposed to show text ("I am an organized person") only after image is clicked does not work. It always shows the text.
I tried playing with it, and realized that if I erase the first <body onload="checkMyBox('c2','div1')"> the second onload works, meaning that the text will stay hidden until I click on image.
Code JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkMyBox(trigger,toggled){
var mcb = document.getElementById(trigger);
var cal = document.getElementById(toggled);
[Code].....

I am displaying my own context menu in response to a right-click on control (textbox) in my ASP.NET application. In IE, I can suppress the display of the browser's own context menu by simply returning false from the javascript that displays my context menu.How can I suppress the browser context menus from Chrome or Firefox?

Im writing a small app that will basically be like a wiki for family memebers to go in and make pages using my wysiwyg editor, update pages, ect..
the problem i've run into is trying to ensure they have saved the page.
I have a variable to detect whether or not unsaved changes exist. however the problem is now stopping the close event if the user clicks 'cancel' in the confirmation box.
Examples of when the 'navigation' or 'browser close' should be blocked:
1)i've made a small change on the page then clicked on a link, i should receive a conf message asking me if i want to loose changes.
2)i've made a change on the page then clicked the browser 'X' (close) button by accident. I should get the conf message here as well.
3) i've hit the refresh or reload button without saving. again i want the conf message.
Note, if they want to close, clicking OK should allow them too. furthermore, this function to block the close and produce the confirmation only will be called if there are unsaved changes on the page.
here is what i have so far - and this appears to work fine in IE. Code:

I have a form built and on the onclick event I validate all of the
fields and then if the form is ok, on the submit event I run a
javascript function to set a cookie and download a file from the
current window.
I have a cgi script provided by my web host to send the contents of the
form through email but they only show me how to use the cgi script to
send email through the submit event of the form.
ie. <form name="downloadform" method="post"
action="/cgi-bin/cgiemail/mailtemp.txt" onSubmit="return
Validate(this)">
Can I utilize the cgi script/link from my javascript function and still
send the contents of the form through the cgi email??

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 am having a problem with the submit() method that is driving me nuts. I'm using document.form.submit() with large text fields (approx. 2000 characters) and am getting a "Invalid Syntax" error. If I do the same thing with a text field of under 1500 characters, it works fine.
Is there some size limit here that I don't know about?

I've have a function to take the value entered in a form text box, add 50 to it and put the result in another text box.
When I enter 650.5 I get 700.5 exactly how I'd expect. But when I enter -650.5 instead of getting -600.5 I get -650.050 as though it is failing to parse the float due to it being negative. My understanding of parseFloat was that it recognises negative numbers. Is there a nice simple way to get this to work?

I would like to have a main form (written in PHP) that has a "lookup" button next to a text field. When the user clicks "lookup", it should open a new window that lets them search (child.page1). When they enter a name or DOB into the search form, it submits the form through PHP (via POST), to a results page (child.page2). This displays all persons in the database which have a name or DOB == to the search term(s), with a checkbox next to each match. They click the checkbox (or alternenatively, a link), and return the checkbox value to the main window.
I have everything working right now, except that (child.page2) doesn't recognize the main window. If the data is entered on (child.page1), it works fine. I'm not very familiar with javascript.. is this even possible? I've considered using frames, to keep the parent-child relationship evident to the computer, but figured I'd check to see if there's an easier way.

I need to pass user input from a form to one database field. I'm relatively new to JS but the idea I had was to have several form elements and use JS to collect the users input and send all the values through a hidden element. What's happening is the variable names are being sent rather than the values. The code below is only passing to the next page. Limitations: I am editing an intranet site built by a 3rd party so a lot of the files we've been given are encrypted. I cannot change the method to post.

Here is the issue I am having: In my project, I have a index.php page with a sidebar menu and a div id called œcontent.The user can select different menu items and perform searches from the database and make updates to their account. Im using ajax to load all of the menu items and all of the forms into the div id "content" on the index page. The Forms all load into the target div as they are suppose to with ajax.
However, on the mysettings page I have two forms and two different buttons, one called save and the other called update. When a user wants to edit their account information and makes changes to their account they clicks on either button and the form processes the information and updates or inserts data into the database correctly but the problem is that after that the form or page does not display the form back in the div id "content" like how it was loaded originally in the index.php page. The problem is that it reloads or refreshes the form page without the index.php page being involved. That is does not get reloaded or updated inside the index.php page content div again.
What I would like do is have all of my forms process whatever is submitted on the page and display the results back inside the same content div on the index.php page again. I know I am missing something because all of my forms are doing the same thing. I am hoping someone can help me out. I would be very grateful for example code that I can learn from since I am still relatively new to web development. I am posting some sample code below.

And now the code i use to action it:

From what i can see the fields match, it all links up correctly but still it will allow blank forms to be sent.

I've put together what I think is an illustration of my problem at [URL] Quite simply, I need to be able to access the elements of the form without referring to them by ID as the whole form is intended to be cloned. I intended to do this using parentNode and childNodes[] together with the 'this' keyword. My understanding of 'this' in this context is that it should refer to the HTML element calling the function, i.e. one of the radio button inputs. However this gives the error "Error: this.parentNode is undefined"

I have a simple three-field form in a UI Dialog that, prior to POSTing, I need to validate using the jQuery Validation plugin.Currently, if the user clicks the form's Submit button (the form's action for the PHP form handling is the page with the link that opens the Dialog in the first place) with a field not properly filled out, the Dialog just closes.Clicking again on the link that opens the Dialog form will show the form with the error message(s) that the Validator generated on the previous click of the submit button.How can I keep the Dialog open and prevent a POST until the form validates?

We're using Malsup's form plugin v2.82 and jQuery core 1.6.2. We're having issues in IE7 where, on a form with file upload, form fields are being dropped before the form is submitted to the server.We tracked it down to the `fileUpload` function, specifically line 196 where each field in the form data has `.attr('disabled',false)` run against it. If we change this to`.prop('disabled',false)` it all works fine.I don't see a clearly marked place to submit bug reports for the form plugin, and wanted to verify that others see this as well,

I'm having troubles with an existing J2EE application (which uses Dojo) and in which I'm gradually introducing jQuery. The specific issue is with the malsup Form plugin and the JSON returned from a form submission: the error callback is always called, regardless of what happens on the server side, and the error is always "parsererror". I'm using jQuery 1.4.2 and the 2.45 version of the malsup Form plugin.
For example, given the following code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
dataType: 'json',[code]....
the server receives the submission and handles it without errors, then in the browser I always get the same alert from the processAddressEditSubmitError() function, with an "Invalid JSON" message:
pStatus=parsererror
pErrorText=Invalid JSON: {"nickname":"trytrez","success":"success"}
However, the JSON looks OK for me (and http:[url]...agrees that it is valid).

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 have two js scripts running on my project at the moment, one is uses mootools and the other uses jquery-1.2.3min, both work but not if they are on the same page.The mootool adds the pop out effect to a form box and the jquery enables the nav switch for 2 boxes that contain different form fields for a search engine. Now I've been reading up on the two and have decided to favour jquery which means I have to reproduce the same effect in mootool but with my limited knowledge it's proven rather hard.The mootool code:
var isExtended = 0;
var height = 165;
var width = 240;
