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.
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 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
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:
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 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.
I want to change a form action url based on user input, and I used hyperlink to submit a form (since I have lots of rows like this and each has different values passed to javascript select_claim() function.). But it doesn't work! I have very simple php code here, but the it is the javascript problem.
HTML Code: <form action="" method="post" name="smForm" id="smForm"> <table>
I'm having a bit of problem writing some javascript that will dynamically update the 'action' of a form when the form is submitted.
Its for an Image Upload script which performs a binary read on the uploaded image, meaning I have to POST the form, but must pass any additional parameters to the Image Upload script via the querystring.
Code:
My submitform() function needs to set the action of form5 to :
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:
After clicking the link and reading the advertisement, I go on "logging in" on the first window. After I submit, the form data, username, password and all is submitted to a third party..
I have form/select which executes a function using onchange. No problem. However, when I validate the page with a strict HTML 4.01 doctype at http://validator.w3.org, it demands either an action or a method for the form?.
If I give it an empty action <form action="" ..... it validates OK. Is this acceptable or is there a better/standards correct way?
How does one make a DIV visible if a form action is taken, such as a Radio button selected?
But here is the thing: this DIV that is to become visible and invisible upon radio clicked does not contain a simple short Text message, but instead this DIV contains many Images for selection. I mean I know how to turn on/off a DIV via Javascript command:
Code JavaScript:
But again this DIV is to contain many images and the inputs for selecting one of these images so that Javascript command will just not cut it.
alright I'm writing form which calls out a function F1 onsubmit but I want it to do that based on what the user answers to the last question on the form
this question has a yes/no answer, if the answer is yes, I want it to call F1 as it would and the function basically sends the form contents to two different places, if the answer was no, I want it to just submit it to one place.. Code:
I want to make a form run a php file, but only when I select an item from the listbox. I can't seem to find the info online but I thought u guys might know, below is what I have that doesn't do anything on selecting an item from the listbox Code:<select name="prodcategory" onchange="javascript: form.action='reportmanual_getcategoryproducts.php';">
I need for the submission of an unvalidated from to reload the page to allow for php validation which, if passed, would use javascript to change the form's action to an external site.
First, is the following approach sound? <script type="text/javascript"> if(my_php_validation_ok == true)
[Code].....
Second, how should the <form> action be styled to accomplish this?
Here is one I cannot seem to figure out. I've got a set of text boxes with the change event bound to a function that will do some validation and add some numbers together. If the user enters something that is not a valid number I want to alert them and then put the focus back on the offending field.
My problem is that the event that I'm capturing is not the actual tab key or mouse click. So even though I set the focus in my event handler, the initial event that started the whole thing still moves the focus to the next field or where ever the mouse was clicked.
I've tried preventDefault, stopPropagation, returning false, and a bunch of other things to no avail. I hope it is something I'm missing or not seeing. If not it seems like my only choice is to capture all the events (key presses, mouse clicks etc. and handle them all which seems rather tedious.
I'm trying to create a search form that will post to one of two different URLs (one internal, one external) depending on the selection of a particular field. For some reason, I've never quite got the grasp of javascript ...Basically, the form has two fields. One is the <input='text'> search field, the second would be a <select> field to indicate the type of search to be made (long story, won't go into details here).So let's say the select field name is 'searchType' and the option values are simply '1' and '2'. here's my miserable failed attempt that I reckon is on the right track but with many errors:
Code:
function checkSelect() { var $internal = 'action="http://www.internalsite.com"'; var $external = 'action="http://www.externalsite.com"';
[code].....
Then in the <form>, I just do an onSubmit="checkSelect()" ?
I have a page with an iFrame called portalCalcFrame that I'm trying to submit data to to do some calculations and preview in the iFrame before actually submitting the page to the next...well...page (both the "Recalculate" button to send to iFrame and the "Next Step" button to submit it further into the process are on the main frame). So I've got two problems.
A) I need to submit a form to a different target, aka portalCalcFrame
B) I need to submit the form to a different "action" page than my form actually submits to. (The form submits to a page called step2.php, whereas the iFrame needs to load page calcframe.php and have the form submit to that)
