JQuery :: Create A Small Input Box That Changes The Form Action?

Dec 15, 2011

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.

Changing The Action Of A Form With An Input Named Action?

Feb 16, 2009

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>

Create A Small DHTML Code That Created A Unordered List Of Input Forms Dependent On The Number Selected From The Select Dropdown Menu

Oct 21, 2011

I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:

Open A Small Form Window That Allows User To Input An Email Address And Update It To Proceed

Aug 30, 2011

I found this forum while running out of ideas and being extremely desperate to fixing a probably small javascript error in a script. the script is supposed to open a small form window that allows the user to input an email address and update it to proceed. the form item is initially unchecked, but as the user clicks it and enter his email address, it updates the value of the email address and the box becomes "checkable". the problem is that with both IE and firefox, the box doesn't close again, doesn't get checkable and basically doesn't work. in the firefox debugging console, I found the following error:

The part responsible in the javascript for this section is:

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 ?

AJAX :: Updating FORM Action Based On Input

Aug 2, 2011

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.

Create A Small Function To Expand A Textarea?

Nov 5, 2009

I'm trying to create a small function to expand a textarea when they hit a certain amount of characters.

My textarea is at a certain width and it takes 39 characters to hit the end. At 39 characters I would like the textarea to expand an additional row.

This is what I created:

Code JavaScript:
function boxGrow(control) {
var len = control.value.length;
if (len > 39) {

[Code]....

The problem is that after I hit 39 it keeps expanding by 1 row every extra character even though I set "len" back to zero.

This is my first time using the forums, so please excuse me if I do something wrong. On my website I am using jQuery 1.5.1 and the latest jQuery Form plugin.

JQuery :: Stop Tab Action After Form Validation?

Oct 19, 2011

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.

Action To Instantly Post A Visitors Input To A Directory?

Mar 19, 2011

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.

JQuery :: Confirming User Action And Then Processing Form?

Oct 13, 2011

I have a form that has two input buttons. One of the input submit buttons is being used to delete data from a database. Whenever a user clicks that delete button I am trying to make it so that a confirmation message appears that confirms that the user wants to carry on with the action. Then if they click Ok, the form should continue processing otherwise it will fail.

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['php_self']; ?>" method="post" id="data" name="data">
<fieldset>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Check</th><th>Id</th><th>Added</th><th>Method</th><th>Host</th><th>Port</th><th>Time</th><th id="shell">Shell Location</th>

[Code]...

Currently, the confirmation message works great but I can't get the form to submit once I click.
