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>

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?

I am missing something *super simple* it seems: I have a <form...> like so:
HTML Code:
<form id="fromPreview2commitForm" action="[thisurl]" method="post">
..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.

On my form I have 3 submit buttons which handle different things.I am looking for a way to stop or continue form execution with a confirm box on the third submit button and the third only.I can't use onsubmit because that will trigger on all three buttons.

In the following .submit function, I am attempting to grab the value of the selected option in the facilityCodes dropdown list when I click the submit button and then during the submit function,select the facilityCode again in the dropdown list when the page reloads and then disable the list so that the user cannot change it.However,the situation is when I reload the page after the submit button is clicked the dropdown defaults to the first option and the list is enabled.I apparently am not understanding how.submit works so that I'm selecting the option I'm defining in my code below and then disabling the list AFTER the page reloads due to an error on the page. My question is how can I accomplish this?Here is my code:
$(function() {
$("#ARTransferForm").submit(function() {
var msgsCount = 0;[code]....

The following will submit the form data to popup by clicking the submit button. I want it will submit the form automatically to the popup, there is no submit button in this page. Basically this page should not show up.
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitmyform(f) {
f.target = 'foo'
window.open('',f.target,'menubar=no,scrollbars=no, width=800,height=800');
f.submit();
return false;
}
</script>
<form name="myform" action="popup.asp" target="_blank" method="post"
onsubmit="return submitmyform(this);">
<input type="hidden" name="item" value="item"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit to popup"/>
</form>

I have a page with many forms that I need to change from a post to an ajax call. That part is working, no problem, but now I want to disable the submit button while it's waiting on the server response and then re-enable it when the response comes back.
Here's what I have:
$(function() {
$('form').each(function() {
$(this).submit(function(){
[code]...
I can't figure out what my selector should be to get the submit button of the form that's being submitted. What should I be using instead? Also, if the call errors out, I'd like to just post the form as usual.

I have a php form and it has 3 submit buttons namely "delete" , "update_quantity" and "place_order".They all work fine but I want to build in a check for each one just in case the user click one of the buttons by mistake.So Each one must have a different message like for delete it must be, "Are you sure you want to delete Record nr ......" OK or Cancle.
And for update " Are you sure you want to update Quantity to....." OK or Cancle.

I have a form without a submit button. It gets submitted programmatically with document.form.submit().
What I need is to be able to disable this form's submit capability on page load and then reenable it at some later point. Remember there is no 'input' button element.
Code:
What I've tried so far is like this:
savedSubmit = document.inputs.submit;
document.inputs.submit = None;
then later:
document.inputs.submit = savedSubmit;
but this does not work. How can I do this?

I need to get the page to reload with the anchor in the link when it is clicked in a dropdown menu. For example if I am on 'www.domain.com/about/#2' and I then click on 'www.domain.com/about/#3' the url changes but the page doesn't reload so I need the page to reload, but keep the new anchor (#3).I gave the links with anchors a class of 'reload' and tried this:
$('a.reload').click(function() {
window.location.reload();
});

I have a script that scans an HTML document for headers and special comment tags for the purpose of generating a left-floating/position-fixed DIV that contains the document's outline or "table of contents." Within the DIV are lists (UL element by default) whose items (LI elements) are jump-to links (A elements) to the points (headers, special points marked for inclusion in table of contents) in the document. The problem is this. I have typical HTML document with links that jump to points (usually headers) inside the document, as shown below:
Code:
<body>
<p>This is addressed <a href="#later-text">later</a> in this document
<h1><a id="later-text"></a>Header Text</h1>
<p>...
</body>
But my script, being a document outliner that finds headers in a document, inserts another anchor as a jump-to point just before the first occurrence of text in the header (inserted A element shown in red below). This somehow disables the document-coded jump anchor (shown in blue below). And it occurs in FF and IE, which suggests it is not a browser-specific issue. Why does it occur? Is there something in the HTML spec that states that two anchors to which a jump occurs are not allowed to be adjacent elements in the document?
Code:
<body>
<p>This is addressed <a href="#later-text">later</a> in this document
<h1><a id="later-text"></a><a id="jump-1"></a>Header Text</h1>
[code]....
To reproduce what I am seeing, search for the text "Why Is A Survey Done". The first occurrence is a within-document jump-to link, which should jump to a header below it. If the script execution to generate a document outline is disabled, the jump works. But if the script is executed and the document outline generated, the jump-to link does not work.

So, here's my problem :
I've created a table in my document, presenting a list of items, one
can 'select' by clicking on it... (Kinda like a menu, you make your
choice from) But since this table can get very long, I've put
something of a 'search-form' on top, which enables the user to make a
selection of products from the list.
Now, the form uses a "post" method, and submits to itself, using the
form action. Some PHP script will make sure that the form is filled
out already, the next time it's presented.
The table, containing a list of products is presented, below the form.
When a user clicks on a product, the product should be "selected". At
first i just used a <a href="zoeken.php?prod_id=24"> link to do this,
but the problem is that my form won't remain in tact.
So now, the global idea is to submit the form after setting a hidden
form-field using JavaScript, using a onClick event.
Here's my code :

I've got a pretty basic form that i need to be able to "submit" by simply loading it in the browser address, not click the submit button. is there a way to do this? Here is the code:
<form name="newform" action="/dir/submition.cfm?z=1&Myid=1" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="userID" value="27566">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
if i load just http://www.mysite.com/dir/submition.cfm?z=1&Myid=1, it doesnt do anything because it doesnt have the userID variable, but im not sure how to include that into the address...

Having a little bit of trouble with a site I'm currently working on I'm using some AJAX for the instant g-mail/facebook style navigation, you know the kind, with no refreshes, etc. Problem is, to allow for back/forward and bookmarks, I currently use a URL that looks like:[URL].. This is fine, not a problem... The issue comes into play when I want to open up the news.html page, from my home.html page, and have it open to news item #6 (for example).
I can't add a #, because one is already being used to reference the anchor for the content div. Has anyone run into a similar problem before? If so, how did you resolve it? Can some jQuery be used to find the location of the news item div in question, on load, and scroll to it like that?

I have a form where i use normal buttons with javascript so i can have multiple actions and I don't use a submit button. I can submit the form fine using document.adminform.submit(); but i have an onsubmit="return submitForm"; attached to my <form> tag.
If i had a submit button, it would call the javascript function, but seeing as i don't have a submit button, how can i call that function. here is the bits causing problems
PHP Code:
<form name="adminform" id="adminform" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" onsubmit="return submitForm();">
<p><input type="button" class="back" id="backbutton" title="go back" onclick="performAction('back');" />
<input type="button" class="save" id="savebutton" title="save" onclick="performAction('save');" /></p>
[Code]...
when the save button is clicked, a javascript function is called which does the ocument.adminform.submit(); but i need to do call the submitForm() function at the same time

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 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 have a very simple form. I start with the submit button disabled and once all of the fields have been validated I would like the submit button to enable. I only have required fields so the standard options that come with the validation plugin satisfy my needs. I only have this code along with the corresponding classes.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myForm").validate();
});

I'm trying to get an upload popup working with the jQuery form plugin[URL].. When I click a link I load a form html from the server and add it to a container div by setting the div's html attribute. I then attach a submit handler to the form so I can call the ajaxSubmit function of the form plugin.

Malsup's most excellent and comprehensive Form plugin has me completely stuck on just one thing.Take a look at this: http:[url]....At the bottom are a variety of submit buttons, and when you click one, it knows which one has been clicked.And I've been through the js and the source and the examples and I can't figure out how the bleep it's done!I'll tell you why I'm asking, then perhaps you can probably tell me I'm doing it wrong anyway!Let's say a blind person logs in, and want to edit their presets.I don't want the form to be too complex or clever or ajaxy, as screenreaders don't like that, so it just iterates through as many presets as they have, and populates a form with edit boxes.But there's no point "pushing back" 29 unchanged items just to edit one row.
So my idea was I'd just "fieldSerialize()" the details of the row that was currently being edited and submit that to my little php routine that updates the db. Then they can do a refresh just to hear the list again.The js looks like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#myForm').ajaxForm(function() {
var queryString = $('#myForm').formSerialize(); [code]....
All works fine like that. But if I change line 3 to: var queryString = $('#myForm :button').fieldSerialize(); it doesn't work. I've also tried:
'#myForm :button'
'#myForm .button'
':button'[code]....
Maybe I should just generate as many separate forms as there are presets, but then I'm going to need as many ready(function)'s as there are rows, which is going to be very messy.

I've literally tried everything. Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes.
I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return.

I'm getting an incredible behaviour of internet explorer.
I have a generated html page with one form and many input of checkbox
type.
Those checkbox are grouped in 4 lists and each list of checkbox
contain checkboxs with the same name so I can easily retrieve on my
server side (java) wich checkbox are checked with a
request.getParameterValues(). (Each checkbox has a value corresponding
to the id of the row)
Anyway that's not on the server that the problem is.
Here it comes. When more than 132 checkboxes are checked, my form
submit generate a javascript error. When 132 or less checkboxes are
checked it submit without problem.
I tested the page with firefox, the problem is not here with that
browser and it can submit liek for example 400 checkboxes.
Then I tried to make a workaround, on submiting I browse the elements
list of my document and I create a big string containing all the ids
checked and then I uncheck all checkboxes and submit. there again it
fail to work.
I'm really affraid I'm looking at a nasty bug of Internet explorer
here and I'm going to engineer a more deep workaround if noone can
point out a solution to me.
I should precise that I have no iframes on that page. I indeed saw
that some people got 'access is denied' on submit form but in my case
it works when not too much data is going to be submited !
