I'm a newb trying to learn to create a form page. Can someone tell me why the submit button isn't working? I thought having the javascript function would fix this. Thanks
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
document.forms["contactform"].submit();
}
</head>
<body>
<div id="contact-form">
<form method="POST" id="contactform" action="bespoke-form-handler.php">
<div>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="user_name" />
</div>
<div>
<label for="mail">E-mail:</label>
<input type="email" id="mail" name="user_email" />
</div>
<div class="button">
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
var frmvalidator = new Validator("contactform");
frmvalidator.addValidation("name","req","Please provide your name");
frmvalidator.addValidation("mail","req","Please provide your email");
frmvalidator.addValidation("mail","email","Please enter a valid email address");
</script>
</body>
The problem is the button name, since you have used it as submit, document.forms["contactform"].submit will refer to the element not the submit method so it will cause an error like Uncaught TypeError: document.forms.contactform.submit is not a function
<button type="submit" name="someothername">Submit</button>
Demo: Problem, Solution
It makes no sense to have a <a> tag inside a <button> tag because it will prevent standard HTML form submission that's done automatically via submit buttons, just remove it.
You also do not need your first JavaScript function to submit your form, the submit button takes care of this.
Change your submit button to
<input type="submit" name="submit" />

I've got a problem regarding my contact form page. I did callback after clicking the submit button. I tried not to fill name textbox but form still submits.
My code:
function sendFeedback() {
alert("Thank you for the feedback :)");
}
<form>
<p class="font3">Name:</p>
<input name="name" type="text" maxlength="50" size="30" required/>
<br />
<p class="font3">Email:</p>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="" required/>
<br />
<p class="font3">Subject:</p>
<input name="subject" type="text" required/>
<br />
<p class="font3">Message:</p>
<textarea name="comment" row="80" cols="30" required></textarea>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="sendFeedback()">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
You should change <form> to <form onsubmit="test()",where test() would go something like this:
test(e){
e.preventDefault();
/* do some validations here */
document.querySelector("form").submit();
}
Hope it helps
The form submitting and your alert triggering are two completely different things. The required attributes you have on the inputs are working correctly. If you leave any of the required inputs blank, the form will not submit to the server, instead you'll trigger standard error messaging in whatever browser you're using (usually a red outline and a popover).
The bit of JavaScript you have (i.e. your alert) will trigger regardless of whether the form submits successfully or not since it's executed BEFORE the submit goes through. You need to either do something like e.preventDefault() or return false at the end of your function, but that will prevent the form from being submitted altogether.
As #dvenkatsagar said, your best option is to change your onclick to onsubmit.
I'm trying to accomplish a feature where a user can type a piece of text into an input box, click submit and they'll be taken to a webpage which includes the text they submitted in the url.
For example, if the user entered the word 'apple' in the text and clicked submit, they would be taken to http://example.com/link.aspx?username=apple&jump=1 or if they entered the word 'orange', they would be taken to http://example.com/link.aspx?username=orange&jump=1.
I've tried the following code, but to no avail - it doesn't send the user anywhere on submit.
<form method="get">
<input type="text" value="11" id="input">
<button type="button" id="button">Click Me!</button>
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').click(function(e) {
var inputvalue = $("#input").val();
window.location.replace(" http://www.example.com/page/"+inputvalue);
});
});
</script>
Why you're trying to use JQuery when you can do it much easier with PHP
Form
<form action="form.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="n" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
PHP side - form.php
header("Location: http://yourdomain/page/".$_GET['n']);
your code works for me.
are you sure you added jquery before your script?
add this:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
Do not use jQuery for this. A simple form with get method will work fine.
<form name="sample" method="get">
<input name="username" type="text" value=""/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
This will automatically submit the form once user fills field and click submit button in the format you are looking for.
Anyways, straight to the point. I am in need of some help on getting my form submit button to clear the input field as well as send the information that was typed. Not very detailed, right?
Here's an example. Person types in field. Person clicks submit. Submitted information is then opened in a new tab. The original tab with the input field is then refreshed to remove the text in the input field.
This is my current form. I tried implemented javascript. It worked for the removing the information on click, but didn't send the information to the handler. Can you tell me how to fix this?
<form class="form-inline" role="form" method="post" target="_blank" action="derp.php">
<input id="banfix" type="text" name="player" class="form-control" placeholder="Player Username">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" onclick="document.getElementById('banfix').value='';return false;">Search</button>
</form>
I don't mind it being in php or javascript. I just need to know how to fix my problem.
Using jquery:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
//clear data
$('.form-inline').on('submit','.form-inline',function(){
var value = $("#banfix").val();//now you have the value
$("input[type=text], textarea").val("");
});
});
</script>
could reset your form after submitting
$(".myform")[0].reset();
Use onsubmit(), it will work when the user click the button or just press enter
<form class="form-inline" role="form" method="post" target="_blank" action="derp.php" onsubmit="document.getElementById('banfix').value='';">
<input id="banfix" type="text" name="player" class="form-control" placeholder="Player Username">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Search</button>
</form>
You can do the opening new window in derp.php file after submitting the form.
<?php
$banfix = $_POST['banfix'];
$new_url = "YOUR_URL_HERE?fix=".$banfix;
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('".$new_url."','_blank');</script>";
http_redirect('YOUR_FORM_URL_HERE');
die();
?>
<form class="form-inline" role="form" method="post" target="_blank" action="derp.php">
<input id="banfix" type="text" name="player" class="form-control" placeholder="Player Username">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" onclick="setTimeout(function() {
document.getElementById('banfix').value='';return false;
}, 100);">Search</button>
</form>
I added a set timeout function to my onclick. My problem was that the information being sent was being cleared before it was sent. So I set a 100 tick timeout so the info can be sent first. :3
I have two files. One is login.html which is a simple html5 file with a form.
HTML
<form method="post" action="" name="form1">entre the pasword:
<input type="password" name="code" placeholder="code" maxlength="6">
<p class="submit">
<input type="submit" name="commit" value="send" onclick="verif(document.form1.code)">
</p>
</form>
Second is my javascript file with the below code:
function verif(inputtxt) {
var pwd = "123456";
if (inputtxt.value.match(pwd)) {
window.location.href = 'Test.html';
} else {
alert('Code erron\351 ! ')
return false;
}
}
Now my problem is that when I enter my password, if it is wrong the alert message indicating an error should appear (it appears and I don't have a problem with that) and if it is correct, I should get redirected to the next page. The second part doesn't work for me.
Please help, I'm stuck with that for two days now..
Since your button is a submit button, I think it is submitting the form after the JS is done and this could be the reason why you don't get redirected to Test.html (as form action attribute doesn't have any value.) Try the below code for the HTML form and check if this solves the issue.
<form method="post" action="" name="form1" onsubmit="verif(document.form1.code);return false;">entre the pasword:
<input type="password" name="code" placeholder="code" maxlength="6">
<p class="submit">
<input type="submit" name="commit" value="send">
</p>
</form>
The return false; in the onsubmit attribute prevents the form's default submit action. The verif(document.form1.code) will be executed whenever the form is submitted (that is the submit button is clicked).
I'm trying to make an auto login script and I'm stuck on the submit part...
The source of the submit form from the website is
<input type="submit" value="Sign In" class="signin" id="sumbitLogin">
and I'm trying
document.getElementById("sumbitLogin").submit();
if I set an Attribute, for example the value, it changes just fine...
How can I solve it?
You don't submit an input field. You submit a form.
<form id="formid">
<input type="submit" value="Sign In" class="signin" id="sumbitLogin">
</form>
and ..
document.getElementById("formid").submit();
Use form_name.submit()
<form id='myform' action='formmail.pl'>
Here is the code to submit a form when a hyperlink is clicked:
<form name="myform" action="handle-data.php">
Search: <input type='text' name='query' />
Search
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
document.myform.submit();
}
</script>
