How to stop reload of page after submit

I have a page with a form that is being used to ask a question. When the submit button is clicked, it does the follow, determines if the user checked the right box, displays the answer and explanation, and disables the checkboxes and submit button to prevent re-answering the question.
My issue is that when the user clicks the submit button the answers, and the disabling appear for only a split second before the page reloads. How do I stop this, I want the user to see if they are correct and not be able to change their answers. When I run it in Dreamweaver where I am building the pages, it runs fine in live view.
Code is below:

As of right now your code is not "determining if the user checked the right box, displaying the answer and explanation" as you explained but that is OK and easy to implement after. Here is the answer to your question.
You should replace your id="ex3" button with the anchor tag code provided below (anchor tag is for simplicity but you can use another element to call the function with a click event). Either way, you do not need to submit a form as you are not posting information according to your requested behavior.
<a id="ex3" href="javascript:disablefields()">submit</a>
Update your function with this:
function disablefields() {
{
document.getElementById('check1').disabled = 'disabled';
document.getElementById('check2').disabled = 'disabled';
document.getElementById('check3').disabled = 'disabled';
document.getElementById('check4').disabled = 'disabled';
document.getElementById('ex3').disabled = 'disabled';
document.getElementById('ex3').innerHTML = 'Answers Submitted';
}
}
You will then get the exact behavior requested in your question minus the validation process that you described. It is easy to add that to this solution with a conditional statement or calling a validation function and then if valid calling the disablefields function.
function formVal() {
{
//put all of your validation requirements here and see if
var isValid = [check form function here]
if(isValid){
disablefields();
}else {
//send a message to user to correct fields and do not disable
}
<a id="ex3" href="javascript:formVal()">submit</a>
If you do choose to submit the information to the server at some later date simply make an AJAX call sending the form information after your disablefields call.

Fixed it by calling both function from the onClick and changing the type to button.
<input type="button" value="Submit" id="ex3" onclick="show_all(); disablefields();" >

Submitting html form in php

This is my first.php page html part. I have a form including a div and a submit button. I want when button clicked, open a new page (second.php) and display contents of div(id=orderList)
<form id="orderForm" action="second.php">
<div class="col-md-5" id="orderList">
<h3 align="center">Sipariş Listesi</h3>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" id="firstConfirmButton" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Onayla</button>
</div>
</form>
This is javascript part;
$("#orderForm").submit(function() {
var content = $('#orderList').html();
console.log(content); //(no problem everything is ok)
$('#confirmForm').val(content);
var content2 = $('#confirmForm').html();
console.log(content2); //(it is null)
});
And this is second.php where I want to display the contents in the div(id=confirmForm)
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
<META name=viewport content="width=1024, initial-scale=1">
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-language" CONTENT="tr">
<link href="shift.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="product.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="confirmForm"> </div>
</body>
</html>
It doesn't work, what should I change?

If $('#confirmForm') is not an input item you cant access it using $('#confirmForm').val();
your Form is missing method attribute, add POST in method by default its GET
<form id="orderForm" method="post" action="second.php">
Add a <textarea> in first.php inside orderForm to hold the content of #ordelist using jquery and in second page you can get it using $_POST['confirmForm'];
<textarea name="confirmForm" id="confirmForm" cols="30" rows="10"></textarea>
in second page you do this
<div id="confirmForm"> <?php echo $_POST['confirmForm'] ?> </div>

You're trying to put the content in #confirmForm, which isn't present in the first file.
There is no need for JavaScript here. Grab the content of the div using $_['post']

Try this its working :
first.php
<html>
<head>
</head>
<form id="orderForm" action="second.php">
<div class="col-md-5" id="orderList">
<textarea name="confirmForm" id="confirmForm" cols="30" rows="10">Sipari Listesi</textarea>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" id="firstConfirmButton" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Onayla</button>
</div>
</form>
</html>
second.php
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo $_REQUEST[confirmForm];
?>
</body>
</html>

In addition to what Saqueib said, I think you'll need to make a jQuery change too. I think you're looking for the html() method, not val() because it looks like you're trying to change the displayed HTML, right?

uncaught type error: undefined is not a function

Im making a simple form with Telerik Appbuilder HTML5 + javascript that takes a users input and logs it to the console when they click the submit button.
ClientClass.js:
function Client() {
this.username = "username",
this.password = "Password",
this.printUsername = function() {
this.username=$("#Username").val()
console.log(this.username);
};
};
Home.html:
<div data-role="view" data-title="Login" data-layout="main" data-model="APP.models.login">
<script src="../scripts/ClientClass.js"></script>
<h1 data-bind="html: title"></h1>
<script src="../scripts/ClientClass.js"></script>
<script>
function printUsername() {
var client = new client();
client.printUsername();
}
</script>
<ul data-role="listview" data-style="inset">
<li>
<label>Username
<input type="text" value="" id="Username" />
</label>
</li>
<li>
<label>Password
<input type="password" value="" />
</label>
</li>
<li>
<label>
<button onclick="printUsername()" type="button">Submit</button>

</li>
</ul>

It says in the console:
uncaught type error: undefined is not a function.
Then it says it is at index.html#views/home.html:1 and when I click that and it takes me to sources panel of the debugger. And it says the source is index.html and it says:
(function() {with (this[2]) {with (this[1]) {with (this[0]) {return function(event) {printUsername() }; }}}})
Does anyone see any issues with my html or javascript? Or the way I import the script? Thanks

you are declaring your client as an object, not as a "class". So using new on your object doesn't make quite sense.
So it's up to you or you keep your object and simply remove:
var client = new client();
or you use a class
function Client(){}

jQuery Mobile styling: delayed initialization?

I'm new to this jQM stuff, as well as AJAX.
I have a site that keeps a static header and footer, and replaces #mainContent div with external .html/.php pages.
What I am finding is that when I click one of the nav-bar tabs (included in the header), and the #mainContent is replaced with another page, the jQuery Mobile-styling (of buttons, drop-down menus, etc) does not load right away.
Initially the default-style of buttons appears, then (if AJAX loads) a second later the page does a 'refresh-type blink', and the buttons are replaced with the jQM styled-versions.
Occasionally I get stuck with the AJAX 'loading circle', and the buttons retain their original style until the 'nav-bar link' is pressed again.
I know there's a perfectly good reason for this.
Research indicated that using "$(document).ready(function() { .... });" is not ideal for jQM. I replaced this in my navigation-script with "$(document).bind('pageinit', function() { .... });", which didn't really make a difference (though the navbuttons still work).
Here is my basic script initialization for my index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>NoteVote</title>

}
?>
</div>
<!-- /FOOTER -->
</div>
<!-- /INDEX -->
<script src="./scripts/navScript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
My navScript.js:
$(document).bind('pageinit', function() {
$("#coursesButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('courses');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/courses.html");
});
$("#searchButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('search');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/search.html");
});
$("#submitButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('submit');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/submit.html");
});
$("#accountButton").on("click", function(e) {
//e.preventDefault();
//alert('account');
$("#mainContent").load("./pages/accountPage.php");
});
});

If you could give me a pointer as to why it takes a second to 'refresh' before the jQuery-Mobile style over-rides that of the standard HTML5, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I have a feeling it is due to the scripts/styles being loaded twice (ie in the index.php and the search.html ), but if I do not load them in each page, then the buttons do not get stylized...
Though not really affecting basic functionality, it does give the web-app the appearance of really lagging.
Cheers.

The problem is you are not initializing the content you are loading via Ajax. When you load external data dynamically, you need to manually initialize any jQuery Mobile's "widget".
All you need is to call .enhanceWithin() on $("#mainContent") after data is successfully loaded. Hence, you need to use .load()'s callback function to initialize those elements.
$(document).on('pagecreate', "#noteVote", function () {
$("#coursesButton").on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#mainContent").load("URL", function () {
$(this).enhanceWithin();
});
});
});

JQuery Plugin won't work inside modal

I am having trouble getting a jquery plugin called ui multiselect to show up properly inside a modal (using jqmodal). I actually have tried another modal called simplemodal and a different multiselect plugin as well with no luck. From what I can gather, it appears the CSS of the for uimultiselect is not being applied because the multiselect resides inside the modal div, which has display: none at page load. I have tried a number of different things suggested by others having this issue and none have worked. Perhaps I am doing it wrong.
In my code, I displayed the multiselect inside and outside of the modal. It works perfectly fine outside.
here is my html:

please try to place your jquery code before </body> and after the target selector...
so jquery code after target selector can fire it up .
because jquery need to be manipulation the target after.

All three of the following syntaxes are equivalent:
$(document).ready(handler)
$().ready(handler) (this is not recommended)
$(handler)
You might be using syntax that is not recommended, try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
instead of this
$().ready(function() {

I resolved the issue. I had to apply the mutiselect js in the callback from jqmodal
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
var myOpen=function(hash){
hash.w.css('opacity',1).show();
$(".multiselect").multiselect();
$.localise('ui-multiselect', {/*language: 'en',*/ path: 'js/locale/'});
};
$('#addShortCodes').jqm({
trigger: '#addShortCodesTrigger',
overlay: 30, /* 0-100 (int) : 0 is off/transparent, 100 is opaque */
overlayClass: 'whiteOverlay',
onShow:myOpen
})
.jqDrag('.jqDrag'); /* make dialog draggable, assign handle to title */
// Close Button Highlighting. IE doesn't support :hover. Surprise?
$('input.jqmdX')
.hover(function(){ $(this).addClass('jqmdXFocus'); },function(){ $(this).removeClass('jqmdXFocus'); })
.focus(function(){ this.hideFocus=true; $(this).addClass('jqmdXFocus'); })
.blur(function(){ $(this).removeClass('jqmdXFocus'); });
});
</script>
