Something like this? It's really difficult understand you without code.
$("#showSubmit").click(function(){
$(this).hide();
$("#submitButton").show();
})
.hidden{ display:none}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<label>input</label><input type="text"/>
<input type="submit" class="hidden" id="submitButton" value="submit" />
Click here before submit
</form>
I am also trying to understand What Dr House is asking, I would like to slightly modify what JuaRoAI has done, and do something like this, try it and let us know:
$("#showSubmit").click(function(){
$(this).hide();
$("#submitButton").show();
})
.hidden{ display:none}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<label>input</label><input type="text"/>
<input type="submit" class="hidden" id="submitButton" value="submit" />
Click here before submit
</form>
I have multiple forms in my php file for different buttons. So, if I click on Back button, ramesh.php script should be called and so on. This is the code.
<form action="ramesh.php">
<input type="submit" value="Back" />
</form>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input name="rep_skyline" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="update.php" method="post" >
<button type="submit">Update</button>
</form>
However, I need to pass some data to server from my client side on form submit just for the update button. I have a javascript function to send the data to server side as below.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form').submit(function(e) {
var mydata = 3;
if ($(this).is(':not([data-submit="true"])'))
{
$('form').append('<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="'+mydata+'">');
$('form').data('submit', 'true').submit();
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
})
})
</script>
If I click on the update button, the javascript function is working fine. However, if I click on Back or Submit button, I should not be calling the javascript function. Is there someway to do this?
Give your form an id:
<form action="update.php" method="post" id="update-form">
Then use a more specific selector:
$("#update-form").submit(function() {
// Code
});
I'm not quite sure why you need JavaScript to dynamically add data to your form, however. You should just use an <input type="hidden" /> directly.
type=submit will always load the form's action. Try to specify wich form to submit.
<form name="backForm" id="backForm" action="ramesh.php">
<input type="submit" value="Back" />
</form>
<form name="form2" id="form2" action="process.php" method="post">
<input name="rep_skyline" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Now you can access the form via document.backForm or document.getElementById("backForm") and than use submit(); like document.getElementById("backForm").submit();
Here is my HTML code
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<input id="q" required />
<input id="btn" type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
I'm trying the HTML 5 required feature in asp.net. The above code works. But a post back also occurs. Is there a way to prevent the post back using JavaScript, jQuery or any other method? I tried to prevent the post back using jQuery
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btn').click(function (evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
});
});
But this makes the required validation not to fire.
Note: There are more than one button in the form.
change "click" event to "submit", and bind it not to btn but to form
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#form1').on("submit", function (evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
});
});
Here is the updated JsFiddle which has two inputs (one is required) and two buttons (one is submit).
HTML:
<form id="form1" method="get" action="http://example.com">
<input id="q" required />
<input id="w" />
<input id="btn" type="button" value="Cancel" />
<input id="btn" type="submit" value="Submit" />
Javascript
$('#form1').on("submit", function (evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
});
If that doesn't answer your question, please elaborate
I have a form with an input textbox and a button. When I click on a button I want to go to a different page depending on the value of the input textbox. For example:
<form name="frm1" id="frm1" action="page.php">
<input type="text" name="txt_name" id="txt_name" value="simple text" />
<input type="button" Onclick="redirect_to('page2.php/?id=8&input=this.txt_name.value')" value="Save" />
</form>
How can I get this value? Can this be done without using a function?
Well I would recommend a function for following reasons:
Cleaner code.
Better way if you have multiple buttons.
Less code.
Better manageability.
Add this to your buttons
onclick="redirect('mytextbox.value');";
Add this to your markup inside <head>(just few lines of code):
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect(value){
window.location="page.php/?id=8&input="+value.ToString();
}
</script>
Why wouldn't you just do this?
<form name="frm1" id="frm1" action="page2.php">
<input type="hidden" value="8" name="id" />
<input type="text" name="txt_name" id="txt_name" value="simple text" />
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form>
if you have something like :
<form>
<input type="text" name="formelem" />
<input type="button" />
</form>
you can put to the button :
onclick="redirect_to('page.php/?id=8&input='+this.form.formelem.value)"
you are on the button, so "this" will be the button and you need to get the form from which you can get the input
another way ( if you don't need a form for another purpose ) would be to just put :
<input type="text" id="formelem" />
<input type="button" onclick="redirect_to('page.php/?id=8&input='+document.getElementById('formelem').value)" />
onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php/?id=8&input=' +this.value.toString()"
I have one HTML <form>.
The form has only one action="" attribute.
However I wish to have two different target="" attributes, depending on which button you click to submit the form. This is probably some fancy JavaScript code, but I haven't an idea where to begin.
How could I create two buttons, each submitting the same form, but each button gives the form a different target?
I do this on the server-side.
That is, the form always submits to the same target, but I've got a server-side script who is responsible for redirecting to the appropriate location depending on what button was pressed.
If you have multiple buttons, such as
<form action="mypage" method="get">
<input type="submit" name="retry" value="Retry" />
<input type="submit" name="abort" value="Abort" />
</form>
Note: I used GET, but it works for POST too
Then you can easily determine which button was pressed - if the variable retry exists and has a value then retry was pressed, and if the variable abort exists and has a value then abort was pressed. This knowledge can then be used to redirect to the appropriate place.
This method needs no Javascript.
Note: This question and answer was from so many years ago when "wanting to avoid relying on Javascript" was more of a thing than it is today. Today I would not consider writing extra server-side functionality for something like this. Indeed, I think that in most instances where I would need to submit form data to more than one target, I'd probably be doing something that justified doing a lot of the logic client-side in Javascript and using XMLHttpRequest (or indeed, the Fetch API) instead.
It is more appropriate to approach this problem with the mentality that a form will have a default action tied to one submit button, and then an alternative action bound to a plain button. The difference here is that whichever one goes under the submit will be the one used when a user submits the form by pressing enter, while the other one will only be fired when a user explicitly clicks on the button.
Anyhow, with that in mind, this should do it:
<form id='myform' action='jquery.php' method='GET'>
<input type='submit' id='btn1' value='Normal Submit'>
<input type='button' id='btn2' value='New Window'>
</form>
With this javascript:
var form = document.getElementById('myform');
form.onsubmit = function() {
form.target = '_self';
};
document.getElementById('btn2').onclick = function() {
form.target = '_blank';
form.submit();
}
Approaches that bind code to the submit button's click event will not work on IE.
In case you are up to HTML5, you can just use the attribute formaction. This allows you to have a different form action for each button.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input type="submit" formaction="firsttarget.php" value="Submit to first" />
<input type="submit" formaction="secondtarget.php" value="Submit to second" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This works for me:
<input type='submit' name='self' value='This window' onclick='this.form.target="_self";' />
<input type='submit' name='blank' value='New window' onclick='this.form.target="_blank";' />
In this example, taken from
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75170
You can see the way to change the target on the button OnClick event.
function subm(f,newtarget)
{
document.myform.target = newtarget ;
f.submit();
}
<FORM name="myform" method="post" action="" target="" >
<INPUT type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="subm(this.form,'_self');">
<INPUT type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" onclick="subm(this.form,'_blank');">
Simple and easy to understand, this will send the name of the button that has been clicked, then will branch off to do whatever you want. This can reduce the need for two targets. Less pages...!
<form action="twosubmits.php" medthod ="post">
<input type = "text" name="text1">
<input type="submit" name="scheduled" value="Schedule Emails">
<input type="submit" name="single" value="Email Now">
</form>
twosubmits.php
<?php
if (empty($_POST['scheduled'])) {
// do whatever or collect values needed
die("You pressed single");
}
if (empty($_POST['single'])) {
// do whatever or collect values needed
die("you pressed scheduled");
}
?>
Example:
<input
type="submit"
onclick="this.form.action='new_target.php?do=alternative_submit'"
value="Alternative Save"
/>
Voila.
Very "fancy", three word JavaScript!
Here's a quick example script that displays a form that changes the target type:
<script type="text/javascript">
function myTarget(form) {
for (i = 0; i < form.target_type.length; i++) {
if (form.target_type[i].checked)
val = form.target_type[i].value;
}
form.target = val;
return true;
}
</script>
<form action="" onSubmit="return myTarget(this);">
<input type="radio" name="target_type" value="_self" checked /> Self <br/>
<input type="radio" name="target_type" value="_blank" /> Blank <br/>
<input type="submit">
</form>
HTML:
<form method="get">
<input type="text" name="id" value="123"/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="add"/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="delete"/>
</form>
JS:
$('form').submit(function(ev){
ev.preventDefault();
console.log('clicked',ev.originalEvent,ev.originalEvent.explicitOriginalTarget)
})
http://jsfiddle.net/arzo/unhc3/
<form id='myForm'>
<input type="button" name="first_btn" id="first_btn">
<input type="button" name="second_btn" id="second_btn">
</form>
<script>
$('#first_btn').click(function(){
var form = document.getElementById("myForm")
form.action = "https://foo.com";
form.submit();
});
$('#second_btn').click(function(){
var form = document.getElementById("myForm")
form.action = "http://bar.com";
form.submit();
});
</script>
It is do-able on the server side.
<button type="submit" name="signin" value="email_signin" action="/signin">Sign In</button>
<button type="submit" name="signin" value="facebook_signin" action="/facebook_login">Facebook</button>
and in my node server side script
app.post('/', function(req, res) {
if(req.body.signin == "email_signin"){
function(email_login) {...}
}
if(req.body.signin == "fb_signin"){
function(fb_login) {...}
}
});
Have both buttons submit to the current page and then add this code at the top:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['firstButtonName'])
header("Location: first-target.php?var1={$_GET['var1']}&var2={$_GET['var2']}");
if(isset($_GET['secondButtonName'])
header("Location: second-target.php?var1={$_GET['var1']}&var2={$_GET['var2']}");
?>
It could also be done using $_SESSION if you don't want them to see the variables.
Alternate Solution. Don't get messed up with onclick,buttons,server side and all.Just create a new form with different action like this.
<form method=post name=main onsubmit="return validate()" action="scale_test.html">
<input type=checkbox value="AC Hi-Side Pressure">AC Hi-Side Pressure<br>
<input type=checkbox value="Engine_Speed">Engine Speed<br>
<input type=submit value="Linear Scale" />
</form>
<form method=post name=main1 onsubmit="return v()" action=scale_log.html>
<input type=submit name=log id=log value="Log Scale">
</form>
Now in Javascript you can get all the elements of main form in v() with the help of getElementsByTagName(). To know whether the checkbox is checked or not
function v(){
var check = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for (var i=0; i < check.length; i++) {
if (check[i].type == 'checkbox') {
if (check[i].checked == true) {
x[i]=check[i].value
}
}
}
console.log(x);
}
This might help someone:
Use the formtarget attribute
<html>
<body>
<form>
<!--submit on a new window-->
<input type="submit" formatarget="_blank" value="Submit to first" />
<!--submit on the same window-->
<input type="submit" formaction="_self" value="Submit to second" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
On each of your buttons you could have the following;
<input type="button" name="newWin" onclick="frmSubmitSameWin();">
<input type="button" name="SameWin" onclick="frmSubmitNewWin();">
Then have a few small js functions;
<script type="text/javascript">
function frmSubmitSameWin() {
form.target = '';
form.submit();
}
function frmSubmitNewWin() {
form.target = '_blank';
form.submit();
}
</script>
That should do the trick.
e.submitEvent.originalEvent.submitter.value
if you use event of form
