My contact form is not working correctly. When I enter wrong data, all is working as it should, but when data is correct the input fields are not showing. I need to click them with mouse and then they start showing.
This is what I have tried so far:
$('#submit_btn').click(function() {
if($('#register').find('.wpcf7-mail-sent-ok').length > 0){
$('#name-152').val('Full Name').show('slow');
$('#email-152').val('Email').show('slow');
$('#phone-152').val('Phone Number').show('slow');
}
});
please note that class .wpcf7-mail-sent-okappears only when form is filled submitted and correctly. What confuses me the most is that .find cannot find the descendant .wpcf7-mail-sent-ok, and it is one of the descendants.. I have tested it with console.log(); and alert();
This is Wordpress plugin - Contact Form 7
Any ideas?
The "Contact Form 7" plug-in acts on the submission event to do its magic, like manipulating styles and replacing the standard form submission behaviour by an AJAX-style submission.
As this might happen after the button's click event, and probably on the form's submit event, your code runs too soon.
One way to get around this, is to delay the execution of your code with setTimeout:
$('#submit_btn').click(function() {
setTimeout(function () {
if ($('#register').find('.wpcf7-mail-sent-ok').length) {
$('#name-152').val('Full Name').show('slow');
$('#email-152').val('Email').show('slow');
$('#phone-152').val('Phone Number').show('slow');
}
}, 100);
});

I'm relying on another plugins javascript that has code for a specific submit event that submits the form after some validation.
I'm not able to change that validation without hacking into that code.
Therefore I've came up with a hack without hacking into that plugin's code.
I'm changing the input type from submit to button type so I can do my own validation without having to take in account for action that is triggered upon submit.
There are two radiobuttons with class .give-gateway. Basically I'm doing this.
HTML (element in form):
<input type="submit" class="give-submit give-btn" id="give-purchase-button"
name="give-purchase" value="Donate Now" data-before-validation-label="Donate
Now">
jQuery:
$('body').on('click', '.give-gateway', check_gateway);
function check_gateway(id) {
//Value from which radiobutton is selected
if (current_gateway == 'swish') {
alert('changing button from ORIGINAL to new. NOW IT SHOULD BE
TYPE BUTTON!!!');
$('#give-purchase-button').prop('id', 'give-purchase-button-
new').prop('type','button');
$('body').on('click touchend', '#give-purchase-button-new', function
(e) {
alert('NEW give purchase button clicked');
//some code...
});
}
else {
alert('changing button from NEW to original. NOW IT SHOULD BE TYPE
SUBMIT!!!');
$('#give-purchase-button-new').attr('id', 'give-purchase-
button').prop('type','submit');
}
}
This works the first time:
From Submit to button
From Button to Submit
From Submit to Button
Step 3 (NOT WORKING (first click on swish gateway work but second time it does not change from submit to button)!? **Why?) **
I've also tried to programmatically add onsubmit to form but the issue there is that other plugins jquery code has a listener for click event on the actual submit - button which means that that code are executed first anyway. I don't want that to happen.
I've figured it out why now. When I click on another gateway the form is loaded with other content. When I go from swish to paypal. It loads content that is dependent of paypal stuff and creates a new submit - button. If I just change from type submit to button it does not affect anything because that change is made before the actual content is loaded (through ajax) and therefore creates a new submit button.
Please pardon me if it is a basic thing, because I am a new learner of Javascript/jQuery. I have been trying to disable submit button to disable multiple submits. I have come across multiple solutions here as well, but all those used specific form name. But I wanted to apply a global solution for all forms on all pages so I dont have to write code on each page, so I put this in footer, so all pages have:
$('input:submit').click(function(){
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true);
});
This code works on all the forms in all pages as I wanted, but if there are HTML5 required fields in form and form is submitted without them, of course notifications are popped but button still gets disabled. So, I tried with this:
$('input:submit').click(function(){
if ($(this).valid()) {
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true);
$('.button').hide();
});
});
But this does not work. Kindly help me so that jQuery only disables when all HTML5 validation is done. Thanks
Try this and let me know:
$('input:submit').click(function(){
if ($(this).closest("form").checkValidity()) {
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true);
$('.button').hide();
});
});
Ruprit, thank you for the tip. Your example did not work for me (in Firefox), but it helped me a lot.
Here is my working solution:
$(document).on("click", ".disable-after-click", function() {
var $this = $(this);
if ($this.closest("form")[0].checkValidity()) {
$this.attr("disabled", true);
$this.text("Saving...");
}
});
Since checkValidity() is not a jQuery function but a JavaScript function, you need to access the JavaScript element, not the jQuery object. That's the reason why there has to be [0] behind $this.closest("form").
With this code you only need to add a class="disable-after-click" to the button, input, link or whatever you need...
It is better to attach a handler to the submit event rather than a click event, because the submit event is only fired after validation is successful. (This saves you from having to check validity yourself.)
But note that if a submit button is disabled then any value they may hold is NOT submitted to the server. So we need to disable the inputs after form submission.
The question is compounded by the new HTML5 attribute form which allows associated inputs to be anywhere on the page as long as their form attribute matches a form ID.
This is the JQuery snippet that I use:
$(document).ready( function() {
$("form").on("submit", function(event) {
var $target = $(event.target);
var formId = $target.attr("id");
// let the submit values get submitted before we disable them
window.setTimeout(function() {
// disable all submits inside the form
$target.find("[type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
// disable all HTML5 submits outside the form
$("[form=" + formId + "][type=submit]").prop("disabled", true);
}, 2); // 2ms
});
});
---[ WARNING ]---
While disabling submit buttons prevents multiple form submissions, the buttons have the unfortunate side effect of staying disabled should the user click the [Back] button.
Think about this scenario, the user edits some text, clicks submit (and get redirected to different page to view the edits), clicks back to edit some more, ... and ... they can't re-submit!
The solution is to (re-)enable the submit button on page load:
// re-enable the submit buttons should the user click back after a "Save & View"
$(document).ready( function() {
$("form").each(function() {
var $target = $(this);
var formId = $target.attr("id");
// enable all submits inside the form
$target.find("[type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
// enable all HTML5 submits outside the form
$("[form=" + formId + "][type=submit]").prop("disabled", false);
});
});
Try this
`jQuery('input[type=submit]').click(function(){ return true;jQuery(this).prop('disabled','disabled');})`
run this code on successful validation of the form
I have a form that uploads a file and targets an iframe on the page. When the user clicks submit, I want the file contents to "clear" out.
I tried this
$('#imageaddform').submit(function(){
$('#imagefile').val('');
});
But it clears the form before the submit, so nothing is ever uploaded.
Is how do I clear after submit?
If you have no other handlers bound, you could do something like this:
$('#imageaddform').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // don't submit multiple times
this.submit(); // use the native submit method of the form element
$('#imagefile').val(''); // blank the input
});
Lonesomeday's solution worked for me but for Google Chrome I found it would still submit empty form data unless I added a timeout like this:
$('#imageaddform').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // don't submit multiple times
this.submit(); // use the native submit method of the form element
setTimeout(function(){ // Delay for Chrome
$('#imagefile').val(''); // blank the input
}, 100);
});
You could do something like this:
$('#imageaddform').submit(function(){
setTimeout(function() {
$('#imagefile').val('');
},100);
});
How are u submitting the form? if this is normal form post then then page wont exist in that case i am wondering if u are looking to clear the form before the page refreshses so that when the user comes back he doesn't see the values populated.
If the form is submitted by ajax then you can
function(){
$('form1')[0].submit();
clearForm();
}
Did i miss the question?
I have a textarea with a blur function:
$("#comment").blur(function() {
...something
});
I don't want this blur() to happen when I click on the submit button below. How can I solve this?
Have you tried taking a look at When onblur occurs, how can I find out which element focus went *to*? -- it should help in this case so you can determine whether to fire the 'blur' function or not based on where the focus went to
a normal submit is a PAGE REFRESH
So: when your page loads again, the blur() code will get called as well
In your submit pass a variable back to the server in the form that indicates that it was a form submit (ie a meaningful flag). When you re-render the page render it with the flag, stating it was a form submit, in javascript. Look for that flag in your blur handler, clear it, and return false.
Something like this should work:
var _commentBlurTimer = 0;
$("#comment").blur(function() {
_commentBlurTimer = window.setTimeout(function() {
//...something
}, 500);
});
$("input[type=submit]").click(function() {
if (_commentBlurTimer)
window.clearTimeout(_commentBlurTimer);
});

I have a form, on which I have a button - When the user clicks the button Add, a function is called which adds a new row to a table in the same form, but using javascript.
I have used the jquery validation plugin,the problem I have is that the validation only fires when I use a submit button,but not when my button is clicked, which runs my function.
I understand why this is - The validation plugin wants the form to be submitted.
Is there any way I can cause the validation to run and return its result? My function can then either do nothing if the validation fails, or go ahead and post the user entered data to my function if the validation passes. Obviously I would need to do this without the form actually submitting.
Any help greatly appreciated - I've tried a few ideas I found whilst Googling on this, but nothing has worked so far.
Thank you beforehand.
If you mean http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/
if ($j('#Form1').validationEngine({ returnIsValid: true })) {
//is valid
}
Or if you mean: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
$("#myform").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
// some other code
return false;
}
});
