How to prevent jquery datepicker from clearing date on submit in jsp

I want to prevent my date from clearing when I hit the search button.
I have tried setting form onSubmit to return false still same issue is happening.
<html:form styleClass="form-horizontal" action="refund"
method="post" onsubmit="return false">
<html:hidden property="actionType" />
<html:hidden property="fromDate" />
<html:hidden property="toDate" />
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label"> From Date: </label> <br>
</div>
<div class="input-group date form_date" data-date=""
data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd">
<!--mm/dd/yyyy-->
<input class="form-control border-radius-input"
onkeypress="return Date1(event);" maxlength="10"
id="fdate" type="text" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd"> <span
class="input-group-addon"><span
class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span></span>
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="dtp_input2" value="" />
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label"> To Date: </label> <br>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="input-group date form_date" data-date=""
data-date-format="yyyy-mm-dd">
<!--mm/dd/yyyy-->
<input class="form-control border-radius-input"
onkeypress="return Date1(event);" maxlength="10"
id="tdate" type="text" placeholder="yyyy-mm-dd"> <span
class="input-group-addon"><span
class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span></span>
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="dtp_input2" value="" />
</div>
<div class="btn-div" style="text-align: center;">
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-o mr-2" onclick="search()">
Search</button>
<input class="clr-btn" type="reset" value="Clear" onclick="clearFields()">
</div>
</html:form>
and my search function is as below
function search() {
document.forms[2].fromDate.value = $('#fdate').val();
document.forms[2].toDate.value = $('#tdate').val();
document.forms[2].actionType.value = "search";
document.forms[2].submit();
}
My declaration for the datepicker is given below
$('.form_date').datetimepicker({
weekStart : 1,
todayBtn : 1,
autoclose : 1,
todayHighlight : 1,
startView : 2,
minView : 2,
forceParse : 1
});
Please ignore my div closing syntax as while posting this question I messed up with div closing but html is working fine no issue with it.

How to apply validation if input fields are empty?

I am applying validations to all the input where values are left blank. Whenever any input is blank and user will click on save button them we add class has-error and display message in small tag.
I have written following html.
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Academic Year *</label>
<div class="col-sm-7"><input type="text" id="academicyearname" maxlength="4" class="form-control only-numbers">
<small id="year_nameHelp" class="text-danger hide">
Academic Year is Required
</small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" id="dateStartsOn">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Starts On *</label>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<div class="input-group date">
<span class="input-group-addon">
<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
</span>
<input aria-required="true" id="startson" class="form-control block-keypress" type="text"
onclick="css()">
<small id="start_dateHelp" class="text-danger hide">
Start Date is Required
</small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" id="dateEndsOn">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Ends On *</label>
<div class="col-sm-7">
<div class="input-group date">
<span class="input-group-addon">
<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>
</span>
<input aria-required="true" id="endson" class="form-control block-keypress" type="text" onclick="css()">
<small id="end_dateHelp" class="text-danger hide">
End Date is Required
</small>
</div>
</div>
</div>
...
....
In jquery I am doing following validation on save button click
if((":input").val().trim() =="")
{
$(this).closest(".form-group").addClass( "has-error");
$("small").removeClass('hide');
return;
}
if(academicyearname == "")
{
$("#academicyearname").closest(".form-group").addClass( "has-error");
$("#year_nameHelp").removeClass('hide');
$("#academicyearname").focus();
}
else if(startson == "")
{
$("#startson").closest(".form-group").addClass( "has-error");
$("#start_dateHelp").removeClass('hide');
}
else if(endson == "")
{
$("#endson").closest(".form-group").addClass( "has-error");
$("#end_dateHelp").removeClass('hide');
}
....
The part
if((":input").val().trim() =="")
{
$(this).closest(".form-group").addClass( "has-error");
$("small").removeClass('hide');
return;
}
is not working accordingly. I mean it should be able to dynamically detect which inputs are empty and then add error class to the corresponding input where value is "".

You can use jquery validator js's blank element plugin and you can use it as follows:
$( "input:blank" ).css( "background-color", "#bbbbff" );
Have a look at below:
https://jqueryvalidation.org/blank-selector/
It also can be applied at id and class level.

Try using
var result = $("input:text").val().trim();
if(result == ""){
//do something
}

var vendorError = false;
$(".vendorForm input").each(function () {
if ($(this).val() == '') {
jAlert('Required', 'empty');
vendorError = true;
var div = document.getElementById($(this).attr('id'));
// show meg logic
if (div.style.display !== "block") {
div.style.display = "block";
}
return false;
}
})
if (vendorError) {
return false;
}
HTML file
<div id="vendorForm" class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Academic Year *</label>
<div class="col-sm-7"><input type="text" id="academicyearname" maxlength="4" class="form-control only-numbers">
<small id="year_nameHelp" class="text-danger hide">

</small>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" id="dateStartsOn">

I understood and somewhat same module i also designed. You can make the use of modal and give that id to in the js and on click button you can run the function in your js file. See my html page:
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group">
<form id = "updateForm" onsubmit="return false" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="left">
<div class="well img_height">
<img id="blah" src="admin_resources/images/user-icon.png"/>
</div>
<div>
<input type="file" name="myfile" onchange="readURL(this);" id="myfile"/>
</div>
</div>
<label for="emp_id">Employee Id:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="emp_id" name="employeeId" >
<p id="valid_msg_employee_id" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="fname">First Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName" name="firstName" >
<p id="valid_msg_fname" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="lname">Last Name:</label>
<input type="text"class="form-control" id="lastName" name="lastName">
<p id="valid_msg_lname" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="designation">Designation:</label> <br/>
<select name="designation" id="dropdown" class="form-control">
<option value="Select">Select Designation</option>
<option value="manager">Manager</option>
<option value="HR">HR</option>
<option value="Tech Lead">Tech Lead</option>
<option value="QA Lead">QA Lead</option>
<option value="Developer">Developer</option>
<option value="QA-Automation">QA-Automation</option>
<option value="QA-Manual">QA-Manual</option>
<option value="Software Trainee">Software Trainee</option>
<option value="Sr. Software Quality Engineer">Sr. Software Quality Engineer</option>
<option value="SQE">SQE</option>
<option value="Software Quality Engineer">Software Quality Engineer</option>
<option value="Associate Software Engineer">Associate Software Engineer</option>
<option value="QA Manager">QA Manager</option>
</select>
<p id="valid_msg_designation" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="Doj">Joining Date:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="doj" name="yearOfJoining" >
<p id="valid_msg_year" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="status">Status:</label> <br/>
<select name="status" id="status" class="form-control">
<option value="active">Active</option>
<option value="inactive">inactive</option>
</select>
<p id="valid_msg_designation" class="error_message"></p>
<p id="valid_msg_year" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="email_id">Email-id:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email">
<p id="valid_msg_email" class="error_message"></p>
<label for="quali">Contact:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="contact" name="mobileNo">
<p id="valid_msg_contact" class="error_message"></p>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default" onclick="updateEmployeeDetail();" data-dismiss="modal">Update</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" onclick = "deleteEmployee();" data-dismiss="modal">Delete</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
and you can now add a class "erro_message which will be called on the modal:
the js file is this:
function employeeDetail() {
$("#submit_emp").click(function(event) {
var formValid = employeeDetail.formValidation();
if (formValid) {
var formvalue = new FormData($('#addForm')[0]);
$.ajax({
url: "intranet/addEmployee",
type: "POST",
data: formvalue,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: function(response) {
$('#your-modal').modal('toggle');
$("#header_success").empty();
$("#header_success").append("Response");
$("#message_success").empty();
$("#message_success").append(response.message);
$('#addForm').trigger("reset");
},
error: function(e) {
$('#your-modal').modal('toggle');
$("#message_success").empty();
$("#message_success").append(e.message);
}
});
} else {
return false;
}
});
You can add many validations on this input type and can append the messge ypuwant on that particular fied:
Hope this might help you.

This is super simplistic and does NOT do the "validation" by checking for example numeric values, etc. but you wanted/asked for the selector for empty text inputs so this gives that.
// put on some event, used change here:
$('input[type=text]').on('change', function() {
// just clear all
$(".form-group").removeClass("has-error");
$("small").addClass('hide');
// filter those empty ones
$('input[type=text]').filter(function() {
return $(this).val().trim() == "";
}).each(function() {
$(this).closest(".form-group").addClass("has-error");
$(this).parent().find("small").removeClass('hide');
});
});

Disable textbox inside an AngularJS Dynamic form

I need to disable the textbox inside my angularJS dynamic form after I clicked the button. my code seems to be working fine if I am going to disable textbox outside the dynamic form but when I get the ID of the textbox inside the dynamic form it is not working. What could be the problem.
$scope.copyText = function () {
document.getElementById('copyText').disabled=true;
document.getElementById('bName').disabled=true;
document.getElementById('pName').disabled=true;
// $('#bName').attr('disabled', true);
//alert('#bName');
$scope.LanguageFormData.language = [
{ bName: document.getElementById('brandName').value, pName: document.getElementById('prodName').value, pNameSub: document.getElementById('prodNameSub').value, lFeature: document.getElementById('pfeatureNew').value, lIngredient: document.getElementById('pingredientNew').value, lInstruction: document.getElementById('pinstructionNew').value, languageCat: null }
];
My View looks like this
<div class="col-md-12" class="pull-right" >
<button class="btn btn-primary pull-right" type="button" ng-click="copyText()" id="copyText" value="">COPY</button>
</div>
</div>
<div id="web" ng-repeat="languageItem in LanguageFormData.language">
<div class="row col-xs-12">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<br/><br/>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-6 control-label">Brand Name: </label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-required="true" name="bName" id="bName" class="form-control" ng-model="languageItem.bName" required/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/><br/>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-6 control-label">Product Name: </label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="pName" ng-required="true" id="pName" ng-model="languageItem.pName" required/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/><br/>

Why not use ng-disabled. You need to change $scope.disableThis=false; back to false to re-enable the text somewhere else inside the controller code.
$scope.copyText = function () {
$scope.disableThis=true;
$scope.LanguageFormData.language = [
{ bName: document.getElementById('brandName').value, pName: document.getElementById('prodName').value, pNameSub: document.getElementById('prodNameSub').value, lFeature: document.getElementById('pfeatureNew').value, lIngredient: document.getElementById('pingredientNew').value, lInstruction: document.getElementById('pinstructionNew').value, languageCat: null }
];
Suggestions:
I have some doubts on the above code, you can just use the $scope.LanguageFormData.language as is, since you are using ng-model in the input fields, the data of the variable is updated dynamically, you can check this by {{LanguageFormData.language}} printing the output in the HTML
HTML:
<div class="col-md-12" class="pull-right" >
<button class="btn btn-primary pull-right" type="button" ng-click="copyText()" id="copyText" ng-disabled="disableThis" value="">COPY</button>
</div>
</div>
<div id="web" ng-repeat="languageItem in LanguageFormData.language">
<div class="row col-xs-12">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<br/><br/>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-6 control-label">Brand Name: </label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" ng-required="true" name="bName" id="bName" ng-disabled="disableThis" class="form-control" ng-model="languageItem.bName" required/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/><br/>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-6 control-label">Product Name: </label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="pName" ng-required="true" id="pName" ng-model="languageItem.pName" ng-disabled="disableThis" required/>
</div>
</div><br/><br/><br/>
Suggestions:
It would be good if you restrict the ID for one particular element alone, its a good practice to follow in general!

Alloy-ui multiple datepicker send selection to other input

I have AlloyUi datepicker that is triggered by div id="trigger", but I want to display the dates selected in the hidden input id="dates".
YUI().use('aui-datepicker', function(Y) {
var output = Y.one('#dates');
var multidatepicker = new Y.DatePicker(
{
mask: '%Y-%m-%d',
trigger: '#startdate',
calendar: {
selectionMode: 'multiple',
on: {
dateClick: function(event) {
output.set('value', Y.Date.format(event.date,{format:multidatepicker.get('mask')}));
}
}
},
popover: {
zIndex: 10
},
panes: 2
})
});

</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<input id="dates" class="form-control" style="display:hidden"></input>
<div class='col-md-4'>

<span class="input-group-addon">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I found a solution here, but it only passes a single date to the input. I need to pass a date range selected by the user.
Any ideas?

You can copy the #startdate value attribute into the #dates value attribute after the date is clicked:
after: {
dateClick: function(event) {
output.set('value',
Y.one(multidatepicker.get('trigger')).get('value'));
}
}
Here's a runnable example with your code:
YUI().use('aui-datepicker', function(Y) {
var output = Y.one('#dates');
var multidatepicker = new Y.DatePicker({
mask: '%Y-%m-%d',
trigger: '#startdate',
calendar: {
selectionMode: 'multiple',
after: {
dateClick: function(event) {
output.set('value', Y.one(multidatepicker.get('trigger')).get('value'));
}
}
},
popover: {
zIndex: 1000
},
panes: 2
})
});

<label for="from" class="col-sm-1 col-md-1 col-xs-3 control-label">From:</label>
<div class="form-group ">
<div class="input-group">

var To_Time=$("to_time").val();
alert(Date+" "+From_Time+" "+To_Time);
}
but this gives result like "undefined" "undefined"..in don't know what to do plzzz help me out from this

You have to use ID selector # sign to get value.
function getresult(){
var Date=$("#date").val();
var From_Time=$("#from_time").val();
var To_Time=$("#to_time").val();
alert(Date+" "+From_Time+" "+To_Time);
}
