Button onclick event does not redirect to another page although it calls the functions

The following code does not redirect to the given webpage
<form>
<button onclick='window.location.replace("../magnet/index.php")'>Replace document</button>
</form>

It is so because when you create a button within the form tags, it is created as a submit button by default. So, instead of redirecting the webpage, it submits the data and reloads the current webpage.
The following code will do the required job because now, the type of the button is button and not submit.
<button type="button" onclick='window.location.replace("../magnet/index.php")'>Replace document</button>

Even better, you can place your redirect code into a JavaScript function. Then you can call that function from within your HTML code. Like this
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function redirectTo(sUrl) {
window.location = sUrl
}
//-->
</script>
<button onclick="redirectTo('../magnet/index.php')">Get HTML!</button>
Hope this will work for you. Cheers

The answer was to add type="button" like #shivamag00 explained.
But be careful with replace(), it's not possible to use "back" to navigate back to the original document since you are replacing the history state.
An alternative is to use the assign() function, (documentation here)
Suppose you have a base url as
www.website.come
and want to go to
www.website.come/new-page
it's simple
<button type="button" onclick='window.location.assign("new-page")'>Go to new page</button>
It's worked for me, hope it's useful for someone else.

Trigger event when toggling between div and textfield

Ok, so Im building an application in Laravel, but my problem is with jQuery. I am creating a comment section for some posts. Adding the comments work fine. Under each post all the comments for the particular post are listed. If the comment is made by you, an edit button is shown. If you press the edit button a few things will happen:
the p-tag containing the comment is replaced with a textarea (maintaining the same content/text)
the edit button changes text to "Save" (instead of "Edit")
the button also changes some classes and therefore styling
the button gets a class of "save-mode"
Im trying to make so that when the button has the class of save-mode, an event should get triggered, thus updating the comment in the database.
Now, almost all the pieces work fine separately but the Ajax call is not fired when the button is pressed. And I just cant see why. Its worth mentioning that the Ajax call does work. But the if-statement that is supposed to trigger it doesn't.
There must be something wrong with my logic.
Ive included a snippet, and Im guessing theres something wrong in the editComment function. Ive removed the blade syntax, styling and surrounding markup. But you can see the same problem in this snippet.
I really appreciate any help I can get to illuminate my own stupidity.
Thank you.
$("#edit-save-btn").on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
editComment($(this));
});
function editComment(btn){
const id = btn.attr('value');
const comment = btn.closest('.col-md-3').prev().find('.comment-text');
const commentHTML = $.trim(comment.text());
if(btn.hasClass('save-mode')){
console.log('this need to get triggered');
//updateComment(id, commentHTML);
return;
}
btn.toggleClass('save-mode');
const editable = $('<textarea />').css({'width': '100%'});
editable.val(commentHTML);
comment.replaceWith(editable);
editable.focus();
btn.removeClass('btn-primary').addClass('btn-success').html('<i class="fa fa-floppy-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> Lagre');
editable.blur(editableTextBlured);
}
function editableTextBlured() {
$("#edit-save-btn").removeClass('btn-success save-mode').addClass('btn-primary').html('<i class="fa fa-pencil-square-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> Rediger');
var text = $(this).val();
viewableText = $('<p class="comment-text">');
viewableText.html(text);
$(this).replaceWith(viewableText);
$(viewableText).click(editComment);
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="comment-post clearfix">
<div class="col-md-9">
<p class="comment-text">
comment
</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<form class="pull-right right-margin" action="" method="post">
<button value="{{$comment->id}}" class="btn edit-comment btn-primary btn-xs" id="edit-save-btn"><i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>

Click the button will trigger the blur event of textarea.
At the function editableTextBlured, your removed the class save-mode, so btn.hasClass('save-mode') is return false, it can't trigger save.
It's like this:
blur -> remove className save-mode -> btn.hasClass('save-mode') -> false, can't trigger save.
Wish it can help for you :)

Return to the previous page with inputs

Really unsure about the title question. Feel free to suggest. :)
Hi guys! I created a very simple code, that would represent my web.
Here is my home page:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPage(linkPage,variables,divName){
$.get(linkPage + "?" + variables,function(data){$(divName).html(data);});
}
function show(){
//functionName("path","data","idName");
getPage("AjaxPages/hi.php","","#container");
}
</script>
<body>
<div id="container">
First Name<input type="text" />
<input type="button" value="next" onClick="show();"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Basically, it ask for information, Name for example. When the button NEXT is click it will call a javascript function that will call a certain page or the NEXT PAGE that will load on the div with the Id Container.
NEXT PAGE
On the next page, it will then ask another question, like Last Name for example. But then, I want to go back to the previous page to make same changes.
HERE is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function show(){
ajaxgetdata("index.php","","#container1");
}
</script>
<div id="container">
Last Name<input type="text" />
what to make changes on the previous page?<input type="button" value="back" onClick="show();"/>
</div>
When button back is clicked, it will just call the previous page, but will not include the text that you input on the textbox.
I know that it happens because it just call the page..
Is there a way? that when back button is clicked, it will reload the previous page, with all the contents/inputs.
:) :( :'( :/ :|

Don't load any additional pages. Do everything with AJAX.
If you don't want, some server-side script may help :D

If you can use HTML5 in your site, you can take a look at the History API which can handle navigation and fires a "popstate" event, to which you can pass data.
There's a good example here:
http://diveintohtml5.info/history.html
You could do something like this:
window.addEventListener("popstate", function(e) {
if(!e.state || !e.state.firstName) {
return;
}
document.getElementById('firstName').value = e.state.firstName;
});
That even will trigger everytime you go back or forward, and you could just organize some function or array with the information you need.
Hope it helps.

get back to previous page

just i want to make back button in my site. once i click the button it need to take the url in to previous page. how can i make this using jquery?

<button type="button" onclick="history.back();">Back</button>

the answer by wRAR is correct, you can use history.back or history.go(-1). However, if you are using ajax, you might need a bit more than that.
Stephen Walter has a nice article on how to use jQuery, ASP.NET, and Browser History which basically describes how to save and restore the application state yourself. I recommend you give a read.
Elijah Manor(co-host of the Official jQuery Podcast) has also written a nice article about this topic.
I hope this helps
-D

Try this: am using materialise css.
<button id="back_btn" class="btn waves-effect waves-light" name="action">Back<i class="material-icons left">chevron_left</i>
</button>
In your jquery script file add
$("#back_btn").click(function (){
window.history.back();
});
within the document ready function.

For JQM, this works!
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.backLink').click(function(){
parent.history.back();
return false;
});
});

This is what I have successfully used in one of my recent projects:
<script>
function goBack() {
window.history.back();
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="goBack()" class="btn-event-show-video">
Return to Stand
</a>

I think button onclick="history.back();" is one way to solve the problem.But it might not work in the following cases:
If the page gets refreshed or reloaded.
If the user opens the link in a new page.
To overcome these, the following code could be used if you know which page you have to return to.
E.g. If you have a no of links on one page and the back button is to be used to return to that page.
<input type="button" onclick="document.location.href='filename';" value="Back" name="button" class="btn">

Display confirmation popup with JavaScript upon clicking on a link

How do I make one of those hyperlinks where when you click it, it will display a popup asking "are you sure?"
<INPUT TYPE="Button" NAME="confirm" VALUE="???" onClick="message()">
I already have a message() function working. I just need to know what the input type for a hyperlink would be.

<a href="http://somewhere_else" onclick="return confirm()">
When the user clicks the link, the confirm function will be called. If the confirm function returns false, the link traversal is cancelled, if true is returned, the link is traversed.

try to click, I dare you
with the function
function confirmAction(){
var confirmed = confirm("Are you sure? This will remove this entry forever.");
return confirmed;
}
(you can also return the confirm right away, I separated it for the sake of readability)
Tested in FF, Chrome and IE

As Nahom said, except I would put the javascript:message() call directly in the href part (no need for onclik then).
Note: leaving the JavaScript call in the onClick has a benefit: in the href attribute, you can put a URL to go to if the user doesn't have JavaScript enabled. That way, if they do have JS, your code gets run. If they don't, they go somewhere where they are instructed to enable it (perhaps).
Now, your message routine must not only ask the question, but also use the answer: if positive, it must call submit() on the form to post the form. You can pass this in the call to ease the fetching of the form.
Personally, I would go for a button (input tag as you show) instead of a simple link to do the process: it would use a more familiar paradigm for the users.
[EDIT] Since I prefer to verify answers I give, I wrote a simple test:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function AskAndSubmit(t)
{
var answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to do this?");
if (answer)
{
t.form.submit();
}
}
</script>
<form action="Tests/Test.html" method="GET" name="subscriberAddForm">
<input type="hidden" name="locationId" value="2721"/>
<input type="text" name="text" value="3.1415926535897732384"/>
<input type="button" name="Confirm" value="Submit this form" onclick="AskAndSubmit(this)"/>
</form>
Yes, the submit just reload the page here... Tested only in FF3.
[EDIT] Followed suggestion in the comments... :-)

???
This answer would be OK only when the click need NOT navigate the user to another page.
