JS onclick function return true - javascript

I have created a button
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info" name="enroll" onClick="return clicknow()">
in JS I have written clicknow function as follow :
<script>
function clicknow()
{
jQuery('#sheduling_wait').show();
var roll_number = jQuery('#roll_number').val();
var class_n = jQuery('#class_n').val();
//alert(class_n);
var FirstData = "roll_number=" + roll_number+"&class_n="+class_n;
var currenturl = jQuery(location).attr('href');
var url = currenturl;
jQuery.ajax({
dataType : 'html',
type: 'GET',
url : url,
data : FirstData,
complete : function() { },
success: function(data)
{
data1=jQuery(data).find('div#stfflistdiv');
//jQuery('#staff').show();
jQuery('#staff').html(data1);
var data2 = jQuery('#staff #stfflistdiv').html();
console.log(data2);
if(data2 == '2')
{
jQuery('#staff').show();
jQuery('#staff').html("This roll No is already Saved, Please add another roll no");
jQuery('#sheduling_wait').hide();
return false;
}
else
{
jQuery('#sheduling_wait').hide();
return true;
}
}
});
}
</script>
I have problem that when the value of data2 is equal to 2 then the page directs instead of staying on same page due to return false,
How can I stay on same page if data2 == 2 and submit when the value of data2 == 1

you have to do it like this
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info" name="enroll"> <!-- remove onclick-->
and then
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#myform").submit(function(event){
if(data ==2)
{
event.preventDefault(); //prevent the default submit action
//...your code
}else{
//other code
}
});
});

The value you return from the success callback is not returned by the outer function. In fact, the success callback is not called until the ajax call returns, which is after the outer function has already returned.
Instead of adding an onclick attribute to the submit button, you can register a submit-event handler on the form. Inside the submit-event handler, you can call e.preventDefault() to stop the normal form submission. Then when the ajax call returns and you want the form to submit, you can call the form element's submit() method. (Do not call submit() on a jQuery object that represents the form, that would cause the submit-event handler to get called again, which would result in an infinite loop. You call submit() on the actual form element.)
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$('#myForm').submit(function(e) { // <-- Use your form's id
e.preventDefault();
var form = this;
$('#sheduling_wait').show();
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: $(location).attr('href'),
data: {
roll_number: $('#roll_number').val(),
class_n: $('#class_n').val()
},
dataType: 'html',
success: function(html) {
var $stfflistdiv = $(html).find('#stfflistdiv');
if ($stfflistdiv.html() == '2') {
$('#staff').html("This roll No is already Saved, Please add another roll no").show();
} else {
$('#staff').html($stfflistdiv).show();
form.submit();
}
},
complete: function() {
$('#sheduling_wait').hide();
}
});
});
});
</script>
Note:
Register the event handler in a document-ready handler. That is the jQuery(function($) { part of the code above. The jQuery object is passed as the first parameter, so if you name it $, you can then safely use $ to represent jQuery inside the function even if you have called jQuery.noConflict().
Use an object for the ajax data setting, rather than concatenating your own query string. It's cleaner, plus the values get properly encoded.
Use the complete callback to hide the #sheduling_wait element since complete executes even when there is an error.

the return statement return data for succes function. not for clicknow()
options:
set variable in clicknow initial in false.
var ret=false;
and set ajax async:false (not recommended)
into success function set your variable for true or false;
if(data2 == '2') { ret=false; } else { ret=true; }
and into end function clicknow return ret;
sorry my english.
regards.

JQuery prevent form from being submitted inside ajax [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to stop form submit during ajax call
(7 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am new to JQuery and ajax in general and I want to disable form submit after I get data from my controller back (I am using Asp.net core MVC). Thing is that even tho I cancel submit it submits anyways as shown bellow:
$("form").submit(function (e) {
var link = '#Url.Action("Action", "Controller")';
var args = {
arg1: Elem1.val(),
arg2: Elem2.val()
};
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: link,
data: args,
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert(data.canacess); //Shows False
if (data.canacess== true) {
AllEnable();
}
else { //Goes here
e.preventDefault(); //Dont do this
alert(data.erromessage); //Do this
}
},
error: function () {
alert("Error. Kontaktujte správce.");
return;
}
});
});
I think it has to do something with ajax because anywhere else in code it works.
Thanks for any help!
e.preventDefault() needs to be invoked within the scope of the submit function handler. Right now you're invoking it in the AJAX callback handler which is far too late to have any effect.
Is there any way that I can stop form from being submitted until I decide whether I submit it or not?
Yes. To do that you need to always call e.preventDefault() in order to stop the form submission so that you give the AJAX request time to execute and return a response. Then, based on that response, you can directly submit the HTMLFormElement object, note not the jQuery object, and send the form data to the specified action. Try this:
$("form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var form = this;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: '#Url.Action("Action", "Controller")',
data: {
arg1: Elem1.val(),
arg2: Elem2.val()
},
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
if (data.canacess) {
AllEnable();
form.submit();
}
},
error: function() {
alert("Error. Kontaktujte správce.");
}
});
});
Also note that when using boolean values in conditions it's redundant to compare them to true/false. Similarly, the return in the error handler is redundant as it's the last statement in the function anyway.

how to create dynamic ajax submission form

I have 10 form in a page & there data is submitted through ajax, Now i don't want to create ajax script for each form. So here is what i tried
var form_id = $(this).closest("form").attr('id');
$(document).on("submit", "#"+form_id, function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var postData = $("#"form_id).serialize()
var send = true;
var ptel = 1;
$("#"+form_id).find("input").each(function () {
if ($(this).val() === '') { send = false; ptel = 0; }
});
if(ptel == 0) { bootbox.alert('Please Fill All fields'); }
if(send){
$('form_id').trigger("reset");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/ajax/X-Profile",
data: postData,
cache: false,
success: function(msg)
{
bootbox.alert('Your Profile has been updated.');
}
});
}
return false;
});
var form_id results in undefined because when page loads no attribute was defined to it
Above codes are just to make you understand,
So my question is how can i make 10 forms submit through single ajax function
You can create a function such as SendForm() and attach it to the forms onsubmit attribute
<form id="yourid" onsubmit="SendForm(this);return false;">
inside the SendForm() function place your script
for instance:
function SendForm(form) {
var postData = form.serialize();
// .......etc
}
To know which form was submitted in PHP, you can place a hidden input inside the form or have a second parameter on SendForm which gets sent through, such as SendForm(node,formtype)
if the form isn't submitting or page reloads, remove the onsubmit attribute and add this to your JS instead
$(document).on("submit","form", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
SendForm($(this));
return false;
});
Have javascript function like below
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm(formID) {
data = $('#'+formID).serialize();
//your ajax code
}
</script>
Now use input button with onclick like below, and pass form Id as a parameter
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitForm({formID})">
This will work without refreshing the page. And on success you can trigger reset() function to form that particular form values.

jQuery override event.preventDefault()

I have a form that, when submitted, goes through the usual e.preventDefault() and sends an ajax request instead. However, if this ajax request returns a certain condition, I want the form to be submitted normally. How do I achieve this?
// Submit handler
$(".reserveer_form").submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr("action"),
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(data) {
if($(".messagered",data).length > 0){
var errors = $(".messagered",data);
$(".gegevens").before(errors);
} else {
// SUBMIT THE FORM!
}
}
});
})
Invoke the native submit method on the form, so that it doesn't trigger the jQuery handler.
$.ajax({
context: this, // <-- set the context.
url: $(this).attr("action"),
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function (data) {
if ($(".messagered", data).length > 0) {
var errors = $(".messagered", data);
$(".gegevens").before(errors);
} else {
this.submit(); // <-- submit the form
}
}
});
Since your comment says you change a form variable, you could start your submit handler by checking that same form variable. If it is changed, just return true. If not, continue with the current handler.
You can use the submit() method or forms:
$(".reserveer_form").submit(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var form = this,
$form = $(form);
$.ajax({
url: $form.attr("action"),
data: $form.serialize(),
success: function(data) {
var errors = $(".messagered", data);
if (errors.length > 0){
$(".gegevens").before(errors);
} else {
form.submit();
}
}
});
})
However, this seems to be a strange ajax request. First, you send the form (serialized, via ajax) to the server, and when the response contains no errors you send it again? The server would process it twice (and act twice, depending on your form). Also, the user does not get a message that his input is already processed - he clicks "submit", and it always takes a time until it is visibly submitted (where he even could change some input).

How to reset event.preventDefault() of a form submit event?

I have a form that submits shopping cart data to a payment gateway (WorldPay) payment processing page. I need to perform a couple of extra logic the moment the custom decides to proceed to the payment but before the form submission itself. Basically, I simply want to generate a unique reference to the order at the very last moment.
Here is the jQuery code for the submit event:
$(function(){
$('#checkout-form').submit(function(e){
var $form = $(this);
var $cartIdField = $('#cartId');
console.log($cartIdField.val());
if($cartIdField.val() == ''){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
url: baseUrl + '/shop/ajax/retrieve-shopping-cart-reference/',
data: {}, type: 'post', dataType: 'json',
success: function(json){
if(json.error == 0){
$('#cartId').val(json.data.cart_reference_number);
$form.submit();
}else{
alert(json.message);
}
}
});
}else{
console.log('Submitting form...'); //Does not submit!
}
});
});
The problem is that during the second submit triggered within the success: clause, the form isn't submitted still. I am assuming event.preventDefault() persists beyond the current condition.
How can I get around this?
For performe the any operation before form submit i used the following menthod hope it wil help
$('#checkout-form').live("submit",function(event){
//handle Ajax request use variable response
var err =false;
var $form = $(this);
//alert($form);
var values = {};
$.each($form.serializeArray(), function(i, field) {
values[field.name] = field.value;
});
//here you get all the value access by its name [eg values.src_lname]
var $cartIdField = $('#cartId');
console.log($cartIdField.val());
if($cartIdField.val() == ''){
$.ajax({
// your code and condition if condition satisfy the return true
// else return false
// it submit your form
/*if(condition true)
{
var err =true;
}
else
{
var err = false;
}*/
})
}
else
{
return true;
}
if(err)
{
return false
}
else
{
return true;
}
})
e.preventDefault() remove default form submit attribute which can not be reverted if applied once.
Use below code instead to prevent a form before submitting. This can be reverted.
$('#formId').attr('onsubmit', 'return false;');
And below code to restore submit attribute.
$('#formId').attr('onsubmit', 'return true;');
Only call e.preventDefault() when you really need to:
if(not_finished_yet) {
e.preventDefault();
}

Help submitting a form to a JQuery script using a javascript submit() function

I attempted to ask this question last week without a resolution. I am still unable to get this to work. What I would like to do is submit data entered through a WYSIWYG javascript editor to a JQuery script I have that will first tell the user if they are trying to submit an empty textbox The last thing I need it to do is tell the user if their data was entered successfully or not.
I am having a problem inside the JQuery script as nothing is being executed when I click the save button.
This editor uses javascript submit() that is tied to a small save icon on the editor. When the user presses the button on the editor, it fires the function I have in the form tag. That's about as far as I was able to get.
I think there is an issue with the form tag attributes because when I click anywhere on the editor, the editor jumps down off the bottom of the screen. I believe it has something to do with the onclick event I have in the form tag.
The first part of the JQuery script is supposed to handle form validation for the textarea. If that's going to be really difficult to get working, I'd be willing to let it go and just handle everything server side but I just need to get the data POSTed to the JQuery script so that I can send it to my php script.
Thanks for the help guys.

});
return false;
});
});
}
There are a few things you need to change. Firstly this:
<form name="rpt" class="rpt" id="rpt" action="" onclick="doSave(); return false;">
isn't the jQuery way. Plus its not the click() event you want. Do this:
<form name="rpt" class="rpt" id="rpt" action="">
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#rpt").submit(do_save);
});
</script>
The construction:
$(function() {
..
});
means "when the document is ready, execute this code". It is shorthand for and exactly equivalent to the slightly longer:
$(document).ready(function() {
..
});
This code:
$("#rpt").submit(doSave);
means "find the element with id 'rpt' and attach an event handler to it such that when the 'submit' event is executed on it, call the do_save() function".
And change doSave() to:
function doSave() {
$('.error').hide();
$(".rpt").click(function() {
$('.error').hide();
var textArea = $('#report');
if (textArea.val() == "") {
textArea.show();
textArea.focus();
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
var dataString = '&report='+ report;
alert (dataString);return false;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "body.php?action=customer",
data: dataString,
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data){
$('#cust input[type=text]').val('');
var div = $('<div>').attr('id', 'message').html(data.message);
if (data.success == 0) {
$('#cust input[type=text]').val('');
$(div).addClass('ajax-error');
} else {
$('#cust input[type=text]').val('');
$(div).addClass('ajax-success');
}
$('body').append(div);
}
});
});
return false;
}
Note: return false is in the correct place now so it actually prevents the form submitting back to the server. action="" just means the form will submit back to its current location so you have to prevent that.
function X() {
$(function() {
//... things you want to do at startup
});
};
Doesn't do what you want. Nothing is ever executed, because you never tell it to be executed.
You might want to try something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
//... things you want to do at startup
});
</script>
Also, you want the onsubmit event of the form. You can use
$('#theform').submit(function() {
//... perform the ajax save
});
In addition, you may want to look into the Form plugin.
