Form Attribute Action And Input With Same Name
Jul 23, 2005
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:
newurl= document.forms[i].getAttribute('action');
newurl= newurl.replace('all/', prefix);
document.forms[i].action= newurl;
Do you have any idea how to modify attribute action in this case ?

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
document.go.action = document.go.action+"&page="+page;
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:
<form name="go" action"index.php?sid=123" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="view" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="" />
</form>
[Code]....

I've been trying to create a small input box that changes the form action based upon what the user enters. I can get these two options to work:
1. If value IS NOT 123456code, then action should be search-results.html.
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()!="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","search-results.html");
}
});
2. If value IS 123456code, then action should be search-results.html.
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()==="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","error.html");
}
});
I want to replace option 2 with a variation... where the user gets the error.html page if what they typed contains 123456code. As it stands currently, option 2 requires that a person types in that code exactly with no differences at all.
I was thinking it should look like this:
$("form.filterform").keyup(function(){
if($("input.searchbox_resources").val()*="123456code"){
$("form.filterform").attr("action","error.html");
}
});
But that does not seem to work.

Let me preface this by saying that I have ZERO experience with Ajax, and have simply copied this code from a blog elsewhere. What is shown below ties to a php file that I developed for a search function on our site. As the user enters their search term(s) in the text input field, the div below is populated with potential results through AJAX. I get all that.
However, I'd like to extend this a bit more. I'd like to enable to user to click the Enter key to follow the URL of the top search result automatically, without having to move their mouse and click on it.
Since I'm using PHP to generate the actual URL, I'm sure I can just send this back as a variable via AJAX, but with my lack of understanding, I thought I'd poke around here for some assistance. Can someone show me how to tweak the code below to accomplish what I'm looking for?
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function showResult(str)
{
if (str=="")
[Code].....
I'm less concerned about getting the Enter key to perform the submit than I am about passing the URL variable back to the form via AJAX. I've seen lots of examples of getting the Enter key to behave this way, I just didn't want to muddy up the original code above.

I am currently learning jQuery and am setting up a site which sells T-Shirts. The products page lists the same T-Shirt in 3 colours:
iMMAculate HTML Prototype / 10.05.11 / Product 1
When the user clicks on one of the colours, e.g. Charcoal, the page loads with the hashtag on the end #Charcoal, so:
iMMAculate HTML Prototype / 10.05.11 / Product 1
Currently I have the page set up so when the user clicks on one of the colour swatches, it loads the images and the colour name onto the page. However, what I would ideally like to have is for the page to load the relevant colour images and h2 span (colour name) that is generated in the URL sorry does that make sense?

I want to change the action attribute of certain forms. I am new to JQuery so I wrote this code but it doesn't work at all:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("form").not("form[action*=/nxpages/index.xhtml]").each(function(){
alert("Cat1!");
});
$("form[action*=/nxpages/index.xhtml]").each(function(){
alert("Cat2!");
});
})
</script>
But it seems that JQuery doesnt work at all. How can I change the above code to modify the action value to something else?

As recently as 1.4.3 $('input:text') would find input elements with no type attribute, but after upgrading to 1.5.1 that is no longer the case.
Is this a bug or an intended refactor to be more standards compliant?
FYI - this is the selector I now have to use: $('input:text,input:not([type])')

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]

I have some basic HTML knowledge but rely pretty heavily on WYSIWYG editors (dreamweaver). I think this might be more of a PHP question and not necessarily require a js, but here it is. What I am trying to do is learn how to build a directory in a site that allows any visitor to the site to add A) the company's name, B) the site URL, and C) possibly a brief description. Ideally, the site would also have a drop down menu to select the category in which to post it.

When accessing my web page I build up the javascript and html dynamically. Depending on an parameter I want to set all the fields (input tags) readonly. How do I do this? Of course I can write if statements to add different input tags with and without the readonly attribute. But is it possible to write a javascript that onload search the page and add readonly to all input tags?

I have a table with several columns containing input elements populated from a database, e.g.,
On every row, I need to perform a calculation using the value of several input fields. So I tried to access the value of the first input field like so (which had worked in another function):
But for some reason it's returning a 0, and the line below also doesn't work:
But this returns the correct class, so I know it's finding the element:
And if I assign the input element an id, say "count," this works:
Obviously I don't want to fuss with individual id's to get the values. How to understand why the first two examples don't work, and how to fix them?

I'm attempting to submit a form via a function which dynamically creates a
hidden input:
function submitLocation(theForm) {
var e = document.createElement('input');
e.setAttribute('type', 'hidden');
e.setAttribute('name', 'location');
e.setAttribute('value', Ƈ');
var f = document.getElementById(theForm);
f.appendChild(e);
document.forms[theForm].submit();
}
The function is called from an anchor's onclick event:
<form name='form1' method='post' action='action.php'>
<a onclick="submitLocation('form1');">Submit</a>
</form>
However the function produces an input which is missing the name element:
<INPUT type=hidden value=1>
The desired output should be:
<INPUT type=hidden name=location value=1>

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.
<form method="POST" action="scripts/WebContractor.php" name="bizinfo"
id="bizinfo">
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 a name, and action, a post method.
In rare occasion I want the form action to be different to the default
action, so I do this: document.formName.action = "newURL";
This works fine under Mozilla, but does not work under IE5, 5.5 or 6,
it says: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?

When I run the following code, none of the set's are being done. Most important one for me is the action attribute.

var url = $("#aggurl").val();
alert(url);

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.
here's my code:
<head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="popup.css" /></head>
<form name="Login" method="post" action="login/check.php">
