We Keep Coding

Another scripts onclick function is not getting triggered when I use form.submit(), form.requestSubmit(submitBtn) or submit.click() programatically

In the script contact_form_2.js a member of our team created a submitbtn.onclick function that handles the recaptcha interaction on all forms used on our platform.
I am working on creating a new lead form that looks for URL params in the URL, and when all of them are present and added into the form it auto submits that form.
Whenever I auto submit the form though, the contact_form_2.js onclick method does not get triggered. I've tried every way I can to submit the form programmatically, and none of the methods work. How can I get contact_form_2.js's onclick to trigger when I submit my new form programmatically in myscript.js?
contact_form_2.js
window.addEventListener("load", function () {
var submitbtn = document.querySelector(`form[name=contactform] button#submit`) || document.querySelector(`form[name=contactform] button[name=submit]`);
submitbtn.style.display = "none";
var lib = document.createElement("script");
lib.async = true;
lib.defer = true;
lib.src = "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?render=key-here";
document.body.appendChild(lib);
lib.onload = function () {
console.log("recaptcha loaded");
submitbtn.style.display = "block";
var cform = document.querySelector("[name=contactform]");
submitbtn.onclick = function onSubmit(e) {
e.preventDefault();
grecaptcha.ready(function () {
grecaptcha.execute("key-here", {
action: "submit",
}).then(function(token) {
var cform = document.querySelector("[name=contactform]");
var recap = document.createElement("input");
recap.type = "hidden";
recap.name = "g-recaptcha-response";
recap.value = token;
cform.appendChild(recap);
setTimeout(function () {
document.createElement("form").submit.call(cform);
});
});
});
}
};
});
myscript.js
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
var basicJunkForm = document.querySelector('#basic-junk-form');
document.createElement('form').submit.call(basicJunkForm);
//Other attempts:
/*
var submit = basicJunkForm.querySelector("#submit");
basicJunkForm.requestSubmit(submit);
*/
//basicJunkForm.submit(); (doesn't work because my submit button is named submit, which is why I do the active work around.)
});
myform.html
<form method="POST" action="/cp/resources/lib/contact_form.php" id="basic-junk-form" name="contactform" class="contactform contact-2">

Edit: Also tried this as per CherryDT's recommendation
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
var basicJunkForm = document.querySelector('#basic-junk-form');
simulateFormSubmission();
function simulateFormSubmission() {
const event = new MouseEvent('click', {
view: window,
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true
});
const submitButton = basicJunkForm.querySelector("#submit");
const cancelled = !submitButton.dispatchEvent(event);
if(cancelled) {
console.log('cancelled');
}
}
});

Disable submit button until all form inputs have data

I'm trying to disable the submit button until all inputs have some data. Right now the button is disabled, but it stays disabled after all inputs are filled in. What am I doing wrong?
$(document).ready(function (){
validate();
$('input').on('keyup', validate);
});
function validate(){
if ($('input').val().length > 0) {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}
}

Here's a modification of your code that checks all the <input> fields, instead of just the first one.
$(document).ready(function() {
validate();
$('input').on('keyup', validate);
});
function validate() {
var inputsWithValues = 0;
// get all input fields except for type='submit'
var myInputs = $("input:not([type='submit'])");
myInputs.each(function(e) {
// if it has a value, increment the counter
if ($(this).val()) {
inputsWithValues += 1;
}
});
if (inputsWithValues == myInputs.length) {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}
}

Vanilla JS Solution.
In question selected JavaScript tag.
HTML Form:
<form action="/signup">
<div>
<label for="username">User Name</label>
<input type="text" name="username" required/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="r_password">Retype Password</label>
<input type="password" name="r_password" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Signup" disabled="disabled" />
</form>
JavaScript:
var form = document.querySelector('form')
var inputs = document.querySelectorAll('input')
var required_inputs = document.querySelectorAll('input[required]')
var register = document.querySelector('input[type="submit"]')
form.addEventListener('keyup', function(e) {
var disabled = false
inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
if (input.value === '' || !input.value.replace(/\s/g, '').length) {
disabled = true
}
})
if (disabled) {
register.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled')
} else {
register.removeAttribute('disabled')
}
})
Some explanation:
In this code we add keyup event on html form and on every keypress check all input fields. If at least one input field we have are empty or contains only space characters then we assign the true value to disabled variable and disable submit button.
If you need to disable submit button until all required input fields are filled in - replace:
inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
with:
required_inputs.forEach(function(input, index) {
where required_inputs is already declared array containing only required input fields.

You could try using jQuery Validate
http://jqueryvalidation.org/
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.js"></script>
And then do something like the following:
$('#YourFormName').validate({
rules: {
InputName1: {
required: true
},
InputName2: { //etc..
required: true
}
}
});

Refer to the sample here.
In this only input of type="text" has been considered as described in your question.
HTML:
<div>
<form>
<div>
<label>
Name:
<input type="text" name="name">
</label>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<label>
Age:
<input type="text" name="age">
</label>
</div>
<br>
<div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
</div>
JS:
$(document).ready(function () {
validate();
$('input').on('keyup check', validate);
});
function validate() {
var input = $('input');
var isValid = false;
$.each(input, function (k, v) {
if (v.type != "submit") {
isValid = (k == 0) ?
v.value ? true : false : isValid && v.value ? true : false;
}
if (isValid) {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}
});
}

Try to modify your function like this :
function validate(){
if ($('input').val() != '') {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
} else {
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}
}
and place some event trigger or something like onkeyup in jquery.But for plain js, it looks like this :
<input type = "text" name = "test" id = "test" onkeyup = "validate();">
Not so sure of this but it might help.

Here is a dynamic code that check all inputs to have data when wants to submit it:
$("form").submit(function(e) {
var error = 0;
$('input').removeClass('error');
$('.require').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).val() == '' || $(this).val() == ' ') {
$(this).addClass('error');
error++;
}
});
if (error > 0) {
//Means if has error:
e.preventDefault();
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
});
.error {
border: 1px solid red;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<form action="google.com">
<input type="text" placeholder="This is input #1" class="require" />
<input type="text" placeholder="This is input #2" class="require" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</form>
Now you see there is a class called require, you just need to give this class to inputs that have to have value then this function will check if that input has value or not, and if those required inputs are empty Jquery will prevent to submit the form!

Modify your code
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Join">
<script>
$(document).ready(function (){
validate();
$('input').on('keyup', validate);
});
function validate(){
$("input[type=text]").each(function(){
if($(this).val().length > 0)
{
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
}
else
{
$("input[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}
});
}
</script>

function disabledBtn(_className,_btnName) {
var inputsWithValues = 0;
var _f = document.getElementsByClassName(_className);
for(var i=0; i < _f.length; i++) {
if (_f[i].value) {
inputsWithValues += 1;
}
}
if (inputsWithValues == _f.length) {
document.getElementsByName(_btnName)[0].disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementsByName(_btnName)[0].disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="text" class="xxxxx" onKeyUp="disabledBtn('xxxxx','fruit')"><br>
<input type="text" class="xxxxx" onKeyUp="disabledBtn('xxxxx','fruit')"><br>
<input type="text" class="xxxxx" onKeyUp="disabledBtn('xxxxx','fruit')"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Join" id="yyyyy" disabled name="fruit">

Why my text is printed on page and soon disappears in js

this is my code
i was trying to make a signup form and i made a script
i jst tried that the username should contain both alphabets and numbers and nothing else
if this condition is true than it continues
else it will give an error message displayed jst below it
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style>
#sign_up_details {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<form name="sign_up_details">
<h3>Enter your details below</h3>
<input type="textbox" id="username" placeholder="Enter your desired username" />
<p id="usrnm_check"></p><br>
<input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter your desired password" />
<p id="pass_check"></p><br>
<input type="textbox" id="email" placeholder="Enter your email id" />
<p id="email_check"></p><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="store()" />
</form>
<script>
var usrnm = document.getElementById("username");
var pass = document.getElementById("password");
var email = document.getElementById("email");
var usrnm_check = document.getElementById("usrnm_check");
var pass_check = document.getElementById("pass_check");
var email_check = document.getElementById("email_check");
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
for eg when i keep the username field empty and click on submit the error which is to be displayed comes below it but it soon disappears.
i dont know the reason for it.

you will have to set the store in onsubmit event and not on the submit button onclick event because,onclick will execute the function and submit the form as well.
here is fiddle
execute function before submit
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<style>
#sign_up_details {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<form name="sign_up_details" onsubmit="return store()">
<h3>Enter your details below</h3>
<input type="textbox" id="username" placeholder="Enter your desired username" />
<p id="usrnm_check"></p><br>
<input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Enter your desired password" />
<p id="pass_check"></p><br>
<input type="textbox" id="email" placeholder="Enter your email id" />
<p id="email_check"></p><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
var usrnm = document.getElementById("username");
var pass = document.getElementById("password");
var email = document.getElementById("email");
var usrnm_check = document.getElementById("usrnm_check");
var pass_check = document.getElementById("pass_check");
var email_check = document.getElementById("email_check");
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
return true;
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
return false;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

You can try something like this:
<form action="/dosomething.htm" method="GET" onsubmit="return store(this)">
[...]
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function store() {
var newReg = /^[A-Z]+[a-z]+[0-9]+$/
if (usrnm.value.match(newReg)) {
//next action here
return true;
} else {
usrnm_check.innerHTML = "Username should have alphabets and numbers";
return false;
}
}
</script>
Notice return true and return false statements in store() and in form onSubmit. If the store() will return false the form will not get submitted. At present your message goes away after display because your form gets submitted even if the validation fails.
Hope this helps!!

onbeforeunload not triggered properly

I can't figure out why the script isn't working with the form. Why doesn't the $("form").submit(function() call the form with id form? This script isn't even performing the window.onbeforeunload so I guess the script is faulty. Does anyone know what's wrong?
<form id="formID" class="access_form" name="form" method="post" action="site.com">
<div class="row">
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input class="txt_email" type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultValue;" />
</div>
<div class="row">
<input type="submit" class="btn_access" value="Get Immediate Access" name="submit1" />
</div>
</form>
JavaScript:
var formHasChanged = false;
var submitted = false;
$(document).on('change', 'form.confirm-navigation-form input, form.confirm-navigation-form
select, form.confirm-navigation-form textarea', function (e) {
formHasChanged = true;
});
$(document).ready(function () {
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
if (formHasChanged && !submitted) {
var message = "Please enter your email", e = e || window.event;
if (e) {
e.returnValue = message;
}
return message;
}
}
$("#formID").submit(function () {
submitted = true;
});
});

just try this.The id of the form is form itself.So select the form like this using jQuery
$("#form").submit(function () {
submitted = true;
});
OR
Or try giving another id for the form for example "formID".Then select using that id like this.
$("#formID").submit(function () {
submitted = true;
});

Validate Dynamically Added Input fields

I have used this jquery validation plugin for the following form.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jzaefferer.github.com/jquery-validation/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#commentForm").validate();
});
function addInput() {
var obj = document.getElementById("list").cloneNode(true);
document.getElementById('parent').appendChild(obj);
}
</script>
<form id="commentForm" method="get" action="">
<p id="parent">
<input id="list" class="required" />
</p>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="button" value="add" onClick="addInput()" />
</form>
When the add button is clicked a new input is dynamically added. However when the form is submitted only the first input field is validated. How can i validate dynamically added inputs?
Thank you...

You should have 'name' attribute for your inputs. You need to add the rules dynamically, one option is to add them when the form submits.
And here is my solution that I've tested and it works:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var numberIncr = 1; // used to increment the name for the inputs
function addInput() {
$('#inputs').append($('<input class="comment" name="name'+numberIncr+'" />'));
numberIncr++;
}
$('form.commentForm').on('submit', function(event) {
// adding rules for inputs with class 'comment'
$('input.comment').each(function() {
$(this).rules("add",
{
required: true
})
});
// prevent default submit action
event.preventDefault();
// test if form is valid
if($('form.commentForm').validate().form()) {
console.log("validates");
} else {
console.log("does not validate");
}
})
// set handler for addInput button click
$("#addInput").on('click', addInput);
// initialize the validator
$('form.commentForm').validate();
});
</script>
And the html form part:
<form class="commentForm" method="get" action="">
<div>
<p id="inputs">
<input class="comment" name="name0" />
</p>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="button" value="add" id="addInput" />
</div>
</form>
Good luck! Please approve answer if it suits you!

Reset form validation after adding new fields.
function resetFormValidator(formId) {
$(formId).removeData('validator');
$(formId).removeData('unobtrusiveValidation');
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse(formId);
}

You need to re-parse the form after adding dynamic content in order to validate the content
$('form').data('validator', null);
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($('form'));

The one mahesh posted is not working because the attribute name is missing:
So instead of
<input id="list" class="required" />
You can use:
<input id="list" name="list" class="required" />
Modified version

jquery validation plugin version work fine v1.15.0 but v1.17.0 not work for me.
$(document).find('#add_patient_form').validate({
ignore: [],
rules:{
'email[]':
{
required:true,
},
},
messages:{
'email[]':
{
'required':'Required'
},
},
});

In regards to #RitchieD response, here is a jQuery plugin version to make things easier if you are using jQuery.
(function ($) {
$.fn.initValidation = function () {
$(this).removeData("validator");
$(this).removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse(this);
return this;
};
}(jQuery));
This can be used like this:
$("#SomeForm").initValidation();

In case you have a form you can add a class name as such:
<form id="my-form">
<input class="js-input" type="text" name="samplename" />
<input class="js-input" type="text" name="samplename" />
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
you can then use the addClassRules method of validator to add your rules like this and this will apply to all the dynamically added inputs:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.validator.addClassRules('js-input', {
required: true,
});
//validate the form
$('#my-form').validate();
});

$('#form-btn').click(function () {
//set global rules & messages array to use in validator
var rules = {};
var messages = {};
//get input, select, textarea of form
$('#formId').find('input, select, textarea').each(function () {
var name = $(this).attr('name');
rules[name] = {};
messages[name] = {};
rules[name] = {required: true}; // set required true against every name
//apply more rules, you can also apply custom rules & messages
if (name === "email") {
rules[name].email = true;
//messages[name].email = "Please provide valid email";
}
else if(name==='url'){
rules[name].required = false; // url filed is not required
//add other rules & messages
}
});
//submit form and use above created global rules & messages array
$('#formId').submit(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
}).validate({
rules: rules,
messages: messages,
submitHandler: function (form) {
console.log("validation success");
}
});
});

Try using input arrays:
<form action="try.php" method="post">
<div id="events_wrapper">
<div id="sub_events">
<input type="text" name="firstname[]" />
</div>
</div>
<input type="button" id="add_another_event" name="add_another_event" value="Add Another" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
and add this script and jQuery, using foreach() to retrieve the data being $_POST'ed:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#add_another_event").click(function(){
var $address = $('#sub_events');
var num = $('.clonedAddress').length; // there are 5 children inside each address so the prevCloned address * 5 + original
var newNum = num + 1;
var newElem = $address.clone().attr('id', 'address' + newNum).addClass('clonedAddress');
//set all div id's and the input id's
newElem.children('div').each (function (i) {
this.id = 'input' + (newNum*5 + i);
});
newElem.find('input').each (function () {
this.id = this.id + newNum;
this.name = this.name + newNum;
});
if (num > 0) {
$('.clonedAddress:last').after(newElem);
} else {
$address.after(newElem);
}
$('#btnDel').removeAttr('disabled');
});
$("#remove").click(function(){
});
});
