For a website, I will have a lot of auto complete fields on differents pages.
They works exactly the same on all pages, except they must not call the same url.
I was wondering if there is a possibility to mention the url on the <input> which is going to be an autocomplete field? The goal is to have one js code for many html codes
I tried something, but it doesn't seems to works:
Html:
<input type="field" name="search" class="autocomplete" value="Search" url="smalltest/otherTest/..." />
And the JS
$(document).ready(function () {
$("input.autocomplete").autocomplete({
source: $(this).attr("url")
}); });
I got exception in jquery lib.
Change the url attribute to data-url then in your .autocomplete do this:
source: $(this).data("url")

I want to build a html website_A where you can type some data and then open another website_B with a button click and this website_B would be changed according to the text we typed in the first website.
For example we have a website_B example.com with a
<h1 id="xxx">
We save the link in our website_A as a string, insert an input field and button with onClick function:
<input type="text" id="text_id" name="text_name"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Open Link!" onclick="openLink()">
<script>
var link = 'example.com';
function openLink() {
link.getElementById("xxx").innerHTML = document.getElementById("text_id").text;
window.open(link);
</script>
}
It should open the link with the changed h1.
Somehow it doesn't work, I don't know the javascript much, not even sure if I can achieve it with js or I have to use some othere languages. I googled a lot and didn't find anything, most information is about changing files locally or changing just the href link, not its elements.
I appreciate your help!
I have tried to search for similar questions, but I could not find anything, so if you know any similar question please let me know.
Let me explain what Im doing:
I have a script that validates forms in a js file, It works fine in any page with a form I have, the problem is that when I load a form using jquery it just doesn't work, I have tried using the next line in different places: Header, footer, etc
<script src='myFile.js'></script>
By far the only thing that has worked for is writing the line of code above inside the form itself.
I think it has something to do with the form that the DOM works, I have also tried using and not using it.
$(document).ready(function (){ //code});
It only will work when I add the script tag with the src attribute inside the form itself.
It would not represent a big problem for me to add the script tag to any form I load using jquery but it's a little bit more of work an unefficient, and also when I add the script tag to any form and load it using ajax I get the next console warning that only goes away when I remove the script tag from the form file:
jquery-3.2.1.min.js:4 [Deprecation] Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience. For more help, check https://xhr.spec.whatwg.org/.
Here is a part of my code:
<!--home.html-->
<div id='formFrame'>
</div>
<script>
$("#formFrame").load("html/loginForm.html");
</script>
<!--end of home.html-->
<!--loginForm.html-->
<form action='somePage.php' method='post' id='loginForm'>
<input type='email' name='email' placeholder='email'>
<input type='password' name='password' placeholder='password'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Login'>
</form>
<script src='js/validate.js'></script>
<!--end of loginForm.html-->
<!--validation script (validate.js)-->
$(document).ready(function (){
$("#loginForm").submit(function (e){
e.preventDefault();
alert("Working");
});
});
Thanks for spending some of your valuable time on reading this, I appreciate it a lot!
As I can't comment, putting my comment in answer!
I am not sure what you have written in validate.js, but if you are using jQuery unobtrusive validation, then you must rebind the validators to the form if you are loading it dynamically.
I was facing same issue in ASP.NET MVC while loading forms using AJAX. I am not sure will it help you or not but below is the code.
$("#formFrame").load("html/loginForm.html", function(){
var $form = $("formSelector");
$form.removeData('validator');
$form.removeData('unobtrusiveValidation');
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($form);
});
Well guys I found a solution:
As there seems to be a conflict when loading an external page using ajax (.load) I opted to use php instead of javascript which worked fine:
I removed the next code
<script>
$("#formFrame").load("html/loginForm.html");
</script>
And added the next to the div where I want to load my content:
<!--home.php (changed html to php)-->
<div id='formFrame'>
<?php
require 'html/loginForm.html';
?>
</div>
I would have prefered to use the load method from ajax to avoid loading the content befere the user could request it, but by far that's the only solution I have been able to think about.
Thanks to everybody for your help it was really helpful!
I am working on a popup newsletter signup. I already have the similar signup form in another page. I used the exact code and it works great. Once I submit the form, two actions has to happen.
Sending the form details to database
Redirecting to thank you page.
With the existing code(this is from a ecommerce website, I cannot manipulate the code), I can send the details to database - perfectly works fine, but
it is not redirecting to Thank You page, instead redirecting to the page hardcoded in the database(assigned to "action". Is there a way out?
This is the code.
<form name="MailingList" method="post" action="http://www.mywebsite.com/MailingList_subscribe.asp">
<input type="text" name="emailaddress" placeholder="Email Address" maxlength="100" size="28"> <br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" width="260px">
</form>
Instead of this - http://www.mywebsite.com/MailingList_subscribe.asp, I would like to redirect to "www.mywebsite/thankyou.html" . If I assign www.mywebsite.com/ThankYou.html to "action" , then the form is getting redirected to Thank you page, but not sending the information to the database. I have to use HTML, I cannot call from outside file. I guess I need to use PHP, but I am unclear with the code.
Sorry my mind is all over the place, I guess I explained it clearly. Apologies if my question is unclear. Thanks
Give id to your form like formId and you can do this using jQuery,
Download the jQuery latest version from JQuery repo and then place the jquery.min.js file in your resources folder.
Updated
<script src="yourResourcesFolderPath/jquery.min.js"></script>
// above code will use the jQuery plugin online
// chances are that the file path might be wrong according to where you put the js file
// A simple way to try this is put your file in the same folder of your html file and then change above code to
// <script src="jquery.min.js"></script> change file name according to downloaded file name.
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){ // will run the below code after all html loaded
$('#formId').submit(function(){ // will be called upon form submission
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://www.mywebsite.com/MailingList_subscribe.asp",
context: document.body
}).success(function() {
// this will be called when you return from your server submit code
location.href = "www.mywebsite.com/ThankYou.html";
});
});
)};
</script>
When I click the #screenrId, it submits the default data without having time to add the new data the user inputs. How to wait to append the data until after the form input field data has been added?
http://jsfiddle.net/XVCVE/1/
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
Screenr.Recorder( { subject:""}).appendTo("screenrId");
});
</script>
<form>
<h4>Subject <input name="subject" id='subject' type="text" ></h4>
</form>
<div id="screenrId" ></div>
I am trying to add the form data to the screen.recorder function before it appends it? Screenr.Recorder( { subject:""}).
Pretty sure I just fixed it: http://jsfiddle.net/XVCVE/3/
The problems:
The "javascript" section in jsfiddle assumes raw javascript, no <script> tags, so I moved that code to the top.
You had a very strange way to make sure the correct HTTP protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) was used to load the 3rd party library, when the browser will do that automatically if you just don't write the http: or https:.
After that, the button appeared after a slight delay.
<form id="search" action="/search" method="get" autocomplete="off">
<div>
<input type="button" name="test_button" value="test" />
</div>
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById("test_button").value = "changed_test"
</script>
Just as the HTML code above shows, I have defined a button with name test_button and value test and changing its value with the code in the script tag.
Now I am debugging a large webpage which is using a mechanism like this using Firebug and Firefox in Linux.
I want to know how I can find the script that changes the value attribute of the <input ... />, but the web page is too large, various <script> and anonymous functions which are auto-executed made it nearly impossible to find the specific script manually.
Since I am in Linux, I cannot use any Microsoft tools to search the whole web page. I only have Firebug and Chrome. Can Firebug realize that? Does anyone have a good idea of how to find the specific <script> that changed the value?
Add some code like this to the document, right after the form with the button:
<script>
var node = document.getElementById("test_button");
Object.defineProperty(node, 'value', {
set: function() { throw new Error('button value modified'); }
});
</script>
This will throw an error when anything tries to modify the button's value.
Expand the error and click the last line number shown. This will take you straight to the line that set the value of the button.
