i'm trying to code an application for Android that fills up a form in a webpage,submits it and parse results to show them. I'm using javascript to fill up the fields and then call the form's action, but it doesn´t work. I have studied the web html code, but i believe it uses JSF to display and handle the form. Is there any way to simulate the submit button click just as if i press it physically? In case anyone want to take a peak in the code, web url is http://www.transportedecantabria.es. The fact is i'm not a big expert in web programming and i'm a bit lost :).Thx and sorry about my english
EDIT: I've also tried this:
javascript:var elementToGet = "frmBusqueda:j_id29";
var form = document.forms["frmBusqueda"];
var button = form.elements[elementToGet];
button.click();
But it keeps reloading the web, not giving me the submit result
You should be able to call the click() method on the button object to fire it, though it would probably be better to call the submit() method on the form object.
This code made the trick:
javascript:var elementToGet = "frmBusqueda:j_id29";
var form = document.forms["frmBusqueda"];
var button = form.elements[elementToGet];
button.click();
Thx all for your help
You can use
document.forms
to retrieve the form elements within the current document.
If you want to submit the first form:
var firstForm = document.forms[0];
firstForm.submit();

I have a task where I need to automate Sign in form authentication. For this example, I'll show you Tiktok authentication form (Mobile interface, not desktop. E-mail and password option)
If I enter text values into the fields programmatically, the Login button won't become active, and if I manually focus on the fields with a mouse click, the value disappears. These are two lines of code I run to put the value in:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email")[0];
email_input.value = 'sample#email.com';
I understand it needs to trigger a certain event to assign a value into it's JS model, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have tried sending change or input events onto this text field with no luck using this code:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email");
email_input[0].value = 'sample#email.com';
custom_event = new Event('input');
email_input[0].dispatchEvent(custom_event);
// tried also change, textInput like so:
custom_event = new Event('change');
email_input[0].dispatchEvent(custom_event);
But this does not seem to help.
So my goal is to put values into both fields Email and Password in the way it will be detected and Log in button would become active.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated
You should first focus needed input element and then execute document.execCommand with insertText command:
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email");
email_input[0].focus();
document.execCommand('insertText', false, 'sample#email.com');
With this method input\textarea value modification should be captured by all major frameworks including Angular and Vuejs. This modification will be processed by frameworks the same way as if user pressed "Paste" option in browser main menu.
It all depends...
Who/what are you? A normal browser user? A bot? The browser author?
Because code like this is useless...
let email_input = document.getElementsByName("email")[0];
What document are you referring to? Who's document? Did you inject this instruction into the page and executed it?
You're not telling us where you're coming from, but anyway...
If you are the browser author, or you can run JavaScript macros from your browser (ie: the Classic browser) then you can do something like this...
var Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="password"]');
if(Z.length>0){
Z[0].value='password123';
Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="email"]');
if(Z.length>0){Z[0].value='email#abc.com';}
}
To automatically populate such fields, and if you also want you can SubmitButtonID.click() the submit button for as long as the isTrusted property is not tested by the website.
Continued...
Test if normal (non-custom) submit button exists and click...
Z=W.contentWindow.document.querySelectorAll('input[type="submit"]');
if(Z.length>0){
if(Z[0].hasAttribute('disabled')){Z[0].removeAttribute('disabled');} <--- Enable it if disabled
Z[0].click(); <--- automate click
}
I'm trying to start a project that requires that the javascript know every word that's typed in. An example of something I would try to accomplish would be that you would type 4 + 4, the interpreter on the webpage knows what you mean, and automatically puts = 8 on to the end of that line to show it's computed it, without having to submit anything or press any button.
I've looked into the element, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel or go against what the spec says. With putting a <textarea> as input on top of a canvas, the javascript on the page can only know what is in the textbox when the user submits the text. Is there anything out there that would help with this?
Thanks in advance!
To get the value of a textarea you can just access it via the DOM:
var textArea = document.getElementById("id-of-textarea");
To the textarea you can attach different eventlisteners, and in your case I would use onkeypress
textArea.onkeypress = function () {
var ta_value = textArea.value;
alert(ta_value);
}
Of course you'd have to write your own interpreter, I wouldn't recommend running eval on the input...
try adding a hidden input element and give it the focus when the page load is complete, and use the onkeyup handler to do whatever u want.
So not sure if this is possible but I have a pretty complex form. With multiple levels of processing ie: If you click a radio button 'x' amount options so up in a drop down etc etc.
Well the problem I have is all the form fields need a name, and went I submit the form I'm sending alot of junk. IE Url could be '?meat=3434?fruit=34495?salad=034943' you get the idea. But in the end all I'm looking to is pull the 'salad' value into the url without all the other byproducts. IE: '?salad=034943'
I've tried a few things, pulling all the inputs radios etc out of the form and placing them in a div. The making a form with just a hidden value so I can pull through Mootools (But that made conflicts because I'm using Mootools Form.Validator so then that fails) Then I tired to make two forms, One that would just be all show, then I would pull the value I want into the processing form. Which I thought would work but apparently it still will process both forms.
Any ideas/techniques of how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated! (because I'm losing my mind)
Disable any form field you don't want sent and it won't show up in the URL.
In HTML it's:
<INPUT type="text" name="foo" DISABLED>
In javascript set document.forms[...].elements[....].disabled = true.
If you hide the field with CSS it will still be sent like normal.
the elegant way you do this is mount your GET url to submit by yourself..
this way you can send only what you want..
dont send any junk.. you can have problems in the future with a variable that you didnt know you were sending..
you can use this util function of jQuery
var params = { width:1680, height:1050 };
var str = jQuery.param(params);
// str is "width=1680&height=1050"
I am brushing up on my HTML while in the process of learning django and am wanting to create a form (single field and button). The button, when pushed should redirect to a page with the value in the form as a query string. For example, if the user types in "test", then pushes the button, they should be redirected to "webpage.com?test".
Am I correct in thinking the best way to do this is with javascript? If so, would anyone mind providing an example?
Thanks!
document.forms[0].addEventListener('submit', function() {
window.location.href = 'webpage.com?fieldname='
+ document.getElementById('yourfieldid').value;
}, false);
since you haven't posted any code i just took the first form on the page and found a fictitious field to use as the query string parameter.
You can do the redirection directly with javascript:
location.href = "webpage.com?" + your_variable
Or make a form that is targeted at webpage.com which has an input area named test. in this way, when it is submitted the test value will automatically be added to the url.
When you click on the button change that value and submit the form:
$('#button').click(function() {
$('#your_test_field').val(your_variable);
$('#your_form').submit();
}
window.location.href="mypage.php?arg="+variable
So I'm trying to write an interactive form, where clicking a radio button will unhide another field in the form. It is for display purpose, so I'm not submitting anything. I'm attempting to use Javascript to validate, but needless to say, it's not working very well. A run through of my code would be appreciated.
Since it's so much code, I'll pastie it to you for convenience...

Your code:
function getShrimpa(radio, name, ext){
//Use of form 'shrimpa'.
var form = document.shrimpa;
document.form.name.style.display = 'block'; // <---- this is not valid
document.getElementById('shrimpa').innerHTML = ext;
}
You cannot use the variable name like that. It's a string and it will not get "replaced" or whatever you were hoping would happen. You'll need to use document.getElementsByName(name) to select that element. But that will give you a node list so you probably want to use ids instead there.
