I'm running into a bit of trouble while trying to cancel the submit of a form. I've been following this tutorial (http:[url]....) (even though i'm not making a login script), and it seems to be working for him.Here's my form:
<form action="index.php" method="post" name="pForm">

im trying to learn how jquery ajax function works by validating some form after submit is clicked.
[Code]....
the alert didnt pop until i added the registration_ok = false; right before, so im assuming it has something to do with the ajax functions's scope.... why does the ajax function not affect the registration_ok variable outside the function? and how should i solve this problem? any better way of doing it?
This is my first post here, but reading through the others I'm sure someone will be able to help me.I trying to build a client-side validator before running my validation in php. I have a <form onSubmit="function(login name, login password)"> type deal and in my function, I'm returning false if certain criteria aren't met.
the form's action runs it back to the current URL where I have a php validator activated if the post data is recognized. As of now, both are running, which tells me the form is being submit regardless of that return false.
[Code]...
I'm working through this example in a book I'm reading. I can't get the "return false" to stop the form from submitting, when the text input is empty.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I am building a registration form and have some javascript that checks the forms user input. This is all activated when the submit button is pressed and the forms onSubmit event is called and runs a function.
I have tested me functions and even when it returns false the form still submits?
Im not sure how i can stop it submiting even if it returns false.
Then onSubmit called this function:
function subForm(theform){
if(checkForm(theform)==false){
alert("it is false");
return false;
}
alert("it is true");
return true;
}
checkForm is working and is throwing alerts when certain criteria is not correct in the form, and then i will get an alert "it is false" so i know that the script is running until then, but the form will still submit?
I have run into this problem before, but i cant quite remember how i fixed it. Here is a simple validation check:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateMe(){
if (document.form1.LoanAmount.value == '') {

This is a simple email form validation, with javascript. I first coded the basic 'have you filled in the field" stuff and that worked great, the error message poped up and the form would not submit until corrected.I then put together a email validation function using reg ex, and things went slightly awry. The reg ex works, so hat is cool, but after catching an invalid email address, it submits the form anyway.Following the logic, you can see that the form gets validate, then the email address is validated, then the form validation function returns true, which is probably why it is submitting with the bad email address.I never seen an example of this, but can you put a called function into an if statement? So it would go: validate the form, then if the email validation function returns true, go ahead and submit.Anyway, here is the code:
JS code:
function validateForm ()
{

I have a small search appliance on my site that uses the following HTML:
Code:
<form action="/search/search.aspx" method="post" onsubmit="siteSearch(this);">
<input name="q" id="searchbox" type="text" value="Search...">
<input type="hidden" id="search-url" value="/search/search.aspx">
<input type="submit" class="search" name="submit" id="search-submit" value="GO">
</form>
[Code]...
I am attempting to create a stop in the form action if someone leaves the input blank or with the predefined "Search" however, once the alert pops up and a user presses "OK" it still attempt to submit the form.
I have a form that submits on the user hitting the return key instead of the submit button. Searching revealed a javascript to stop it but it only works in IE not Firefox/Mozilla.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function onKeyPress () {
var keycode;
if (window.event) keycode = window.event.keyCode;
else if (e) keycode = e.which;
else return true;
if (keycode == 13) {
alert("Please Click ONCE on the Submit button to send this");
return false
}
return true
}
document.onkeypress = onKeyPress;
// End -->
</script>
The following form works great except I want the form field difference to populate after onFocus instead of when I submit the form. I have tried <input type="text" id="difference" NAME="difference" SIZE="12" onFocus="return dateDiff(this);" > but nothing happens. After I type in the to times I should click on the difference field and it should populate like it would if I submitted the form. Is this possible?
<form onSubmit="return dateDiff(this);">
<INPUT TYPE="text" id="firsttime" NAME="firsttime" VALUE="" SIZE="12" maxlength="5"><span class="style1"> hrs</span>
<INPUT TYPE="text" id="secondtime" NAME="secondtime" VALUE="" SIZE="12" maxlength="5"><span class="style1"> hrs</span>

I wrote a form and a JavaScript to valid the form. I cannot figure out however how to stop the form from submitting if the form is invalid.

I have a form with about 10 fields, and the action is sent to a php file which processes the form. Now, I also like to use a Thickbox such that the user can preview the page before actually submitting it to the process.php. That means, I have one submit button and one href, which href links to an iFrame thickbox to preview the page. My problem is that I don't know how to obtain the input values in the iFrame, without user clicking on submit (rather i want to get the values through href). something like the preview on this forum, except I want it on thickbox.

I am having an issue where:
User clicks a button it opens a lightbox (I am using Fancybox) - a form appears inside the modal. The data is submitted via AJAX and I am trying to validate the form before the form within the lightbox is submitted.
My button with the click handler right now does a GET to a server to send the data. Along with some other JavaScript. What is the best way for me to validate my form within a lightbox, and submit after it validates. Sending AJAX.
I have a simple form that works via a suggested results system [URL]
While in firefox the go button is greyed out and enter doesn't submit the form in IE pressing the enter key submits the form.
Is there any way with a bit of javascript to stop IE from doing a form submission on enter but only for this form (since there are many more on the site)
<form action="index.php" method="GET" name="qsform" id="qsform"><input type="hidden" name="p" id="p" value="compdetails" style="border:1px solid #000000;" /><input type="text" name="quicksearch" id="quicksearch" value="Find Company" style="border:1px solid #000000;" onFocus="clearText(this)" onBlur="clearText(this)" /><input type="hidden" name="cid" id="cid" value="" style="border:1px solid #000000;" /> <input type="submit" name="go" id="go" value="Go" disabled="true" /></form>

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to code a drop down navigation where the top tier of navigation links is NOT clickable, only the child elements. I am wondering how I would go about coding this using Jquery.

I have two linked select field. when i change the first field, it populate the second one by a list loaded in ajax.
I would return false on my select if the second list loaded is empty.

Why do we place 'return false;' at the end of jquery functions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to make my very ajaxy site more SEO friendly, lots of the returned actions from ajax can be retrieved as a full page, so it's just a matter of exposing the links. Up until now I've had 'span' tags which I have now changed to 'a href' so that the search engines will follow them. I've added the following code so that if the event should send an ajax request, it does that, or if it should go get the full page, it does that.
<code>
jQuery('a.mixContent').livequery('click',function(){
var vtid=jQuery(this)..parent('div.controller').parent('li').attr
('id');
alert(eventid);
if(eventid!=null){
clicked(getSelected, eventid);
} else {

I am currently trying to get an action on the click of a link, and not make it follow the link, just carry everything out in jQuery. Now, if the AJAX request isn't there, it will work as supposed too, but with the AJAX request, it will follow the link, not taking any notice for the return false.

i've a div that contains a form, each of these elements have their own id; the structure is something like this
<div class="art-Block-body">
<div class="art-BlockHeader">
<div class="art-header-tag-icon">[code].....
I'd want that: at the first user's click on the #register div, the div #registerForm become visible, it should remains visible also when the user click the submit button within and it should disappear if the user click a second time on the #register.I partially solved my problems with this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#registerForm").css("display","none");
$("#register").toggle(function(){[code]....
but i can't resolve the submit issue: whenever a user submit the form in the #loginForm div, the page refresh and the main div return invisible.
This works fine in Firefox, but Internet Explorer ignores the return false and just follows the link.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following code
Code:
$('a').live( 'click', doIt() ) ;
...
function doIt() { return false }
However, the 'return false' does nothing. If I click a link the event is not stopped and the page it points to is loaded!
So, what could I do, given the above code, to stop the click event ?
UPDATE: I inspected jQuery object and changed doIt to
Code:
function doIt() {
$.Event.preventDefault();
$.Event.stopPropogation() ;
}
Does not produce errors, but didn't stop the event, but I feel I'm getting closer
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>

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