..on a page with JS like so:

Code:

function userBackingOutFromPreviewing() {
document.forms["fromPreview2commitForm"].submit();
}

and an anchor like so:

HTML Code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="userBackingOutFromPreviewing()">here</a>

but I am getting this error in FF3/Mac: document.forms.fromPreview2commitForm.submit is not a function Why?I just want the anchor (when ciicked) to submit the form.I have been over several examples I found while googling.. and I follow them.. but still getting this error.

Form.submit() Fails When Dynamically Changing Form

Sep 6, 2010

One of the links adds a button to the form dynamically (and also removes it).I give the button an onclick event handler that also removes it from the page (basically just setting its parent.innerHTML='')A third link submits the form using a function (for validation perhaps).The third link submits the form successfully, EXCEPT when I have removed the newly created button by clicking on it. In this case the form.submit() is simply ignored although the function is still executed.This is essentially the problem I have: The link fails to submit after using the button to remove itself.If I hide the button using the first link and/or change the button's onclick to do nothing then I can still click it and the form submit succeeds.Here is the test code:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">

Form Submit Using An Anchor?

Jan 7, 2010

I need to do a form submit using an anchor. The code I found on the web which works is as follows:

Code:
<a href="javascript:{}" class="link" onClick="var form=document.forms.fname; form.action='/my_url_here/'; form.submit();return false">Submit it</a>

Without the javascript:{} the form is not always submitted. What does javascript:{} mean or what does it do ? And why should there be a 'return false' at the end!

Furthermore, I also found (not tested)

Code:
<A HREF="javascript:Form1.submit()"> Something </A>

JQuery :: Ajax Form Submit - Multiple Post/get Requests Caused When Validation Fails?

May 6, 2010

I have a problem where if a form submission (set up to submit via AJAX) fails validation, the next time the form is submitted, it doubles the number of post requests - which is definitely not what I want to happen. I'm using the jQuery ValidationEngine plugin to submit forms and bind validation messages to my fields. This is my code below. I think my problem is that I need to unbind from the validationEngine plugin when the form fails, but I can't figure out how to do this.

Submit Form And Return To Anchor?

Sep 8, 2010

I'm taking over an almost-finished project. The form 'grows' by adding certain includes and/or fieldsets based on radio button selection. When 'yes' is selected the from does submit, and shows the new fieldset, but the user would need to scroll back down to where they selected the radio button. I'm sure that what I want to do is submit the form then move down to an anchor, but I just can't seem to make it work. Here is the code, including the anchor-

<a name="name="a1" id="a1" href="#a1"></a>
<p style="background: #F5F5DC; color: black; font-size: 1.0em; ">
<br>
<img src="spacer.gif" alt=" " width="10" height="1"/><?= $REQUIRED ?>
<!-- using "this.form.submit()" instead of "document.form.submit()" to avoid error -->
<b>Does the vendor have an existing state contract for these services?</b>

[Code]...

I'm frustrated and at a loss. Any idea of how I can solve this seemingly simple problem?

Document.location.reload(false) Fails To Go To #anchor

Aug 5, 2011

Code:
<a name="loc"></a>
<a href="#loc" onClick="document.location.href='#loc'
document.location.reload(false);return false">Click here to go to your location</a>

When you click onto the link you should go to the page location marked by the anchor tag "loc", however, upon clicking you go to the top of the page and never redirected to the exact spot where your anchor tag is located. Why is that? I'm using IE6 (per requirement) as my platform.

How To Submit A Form On A Radio Click

Jul 23, 2005

I have an asp page with radio buttons and a combobox... when the user clicks
a radio button, I want the form to submit so I can execute the ASP code in
order to change the list shown in the combobox... I have 2 radiobuttons:

<input type="radio" name="terriprod" value="E">E
<input type="radio" name="terriprod" value="D">D

I have tried adding an OnClick event to each of the radio button...
<input type="radio" name="terriprod" value="D"
onclick="javascript:document.forms[0].submit();">D
but it does not work...

I have then tried to put each of the radio button into an anchor...
<a href="javascript:document.forms[0].submit();"><input type="radio"
name="terriprod" value="D"></a>D
but it does not work...

I have then tried to add to the onclick event a javascript function
<input type="radio" name="terriprod" value="D"
onclick="javascript:Verif(document.forms[0]);">D
and in the Verif function I try to submit the form but it does not work...

I have also tried:
I have then tried to add to the onclick event a javascript function
<input type="radio" name="terriprod" value="D" onclick="javascript:if
Verif(document.forms[0]) {document.forms[0].submit();};">D

Call The Click Event Of The Link (anchor Tag) On The Click Of The Button?

Jan 24, 2011

I want to call the click event of the link (anchor tag) on the click of the button. I used this code below in the click event of button to call links click event and it works fine in IE.

document.getElementById('linktag').click();

But, this doesn't work in Firefox. I googled a bit and found that in firefox, you have to do something more to achieve this behaviour. So, I ended up doing this on button click to work in firefox:

var link=document.getElementById('linktag');
var e = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
e.initEvent(

[code]....

The above code does the click on link when I click on the button. But my problem now is that I have defined a link as

<a href="mailto:abc@xyz.com?subject=abc&body=email body">email </a>

and when click is called and mailto links opens my email client, it somehow ignores the subject and body parameters of the link. It works properly when i actually click a link element. but it doesn't work when i simulate the click event by code written above. above dispatching event code somehow ignores the link parameters?

JQuery :: Hook All Form Submit Button Click Events?

Aug 16, 2010

how do I hook a button click event so that my handler fires first but does not affect the firing of other clickhandlers for the same button?

What I want to do is hook all the form submit button click events. When a submit button is clicked, my handler will stuff some hidden fields into the form the button is contained within. Then the handler returns and the built in form submit button handler posts the form back to the server.

I am using ASP to dynamically generate a series of forms. When the
page is loaded, everything appears to be correct, except that the

perfectly. Why is it that the first form, generated with exactly the
same block of code, fails? Code:

Event On Anchor Change(click Back Button) In URL

Jul 26, 2007

We are developing an Ajax based application. In this application the
URL is fixed and as user navigates on the application we will change
Anchor on the URL so that user can bookmark the url and can load the
page on demand.

When user refreshes the page we have no issue in the populating the
page based on the anchor in URL as on load we can capture the
hash(#anchor) and act accordingly.

sample URL: http://www.google.com/somecontext#<anchor>

When the user clicks back button anchor is changing but not able to
know where to get callback.
Is there any event or way I can find when the user has clicked back
button.
