I have a form structured as so.
<form id="email_subscription_form" class="form-inline float-right" method="post" action="/my-endpoint/">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_email_address" class="d-none">Email Address</label>
<input type="email" id="id_email_address" class="form-control border-0 rounded-0" name="email_address" value="" placeholder="Email Address">
<input type="hidden" name="mailpiece_slug" value="{{ page.settings.email_newsletter_slug }}" />
<input type="hidden" name="event_slug" value="subscribe" />
</div>
</form>
I also have a script at the bottom of the file. The point of the script will be to verify a recaptcha before submitting the form. Here is my script.
<script>
document.getElementById('email_subscription_form').addEventListener('submit', verifyRecaptcha);
function verifyRecaptcha(e) {
e.preventDefault()
return false
}
</script>
I was thinking, based on some research, that the function returning false would stop the form from submitting. However, the form still submits and hits the endpoint.
I have also tried this:
<form id="email_subscription_form" class="form-inline float-right" method="post" action="/my-endpoint/" onsubmit="return verifyRecaptcha()">
and
<form id="email_subscription_form" class="form-inline float-right" method="post" action="/my-endpoint/" onsbubmit="return false">
but the form still submits.
What can I do to stop the form from submitting until verified? This is a Django project, so the template is a Django template.
I'd made some research and in the form theres a parameter onsubmit="" where you can fit a call to a verifing function as you already have with verifyRecaptcha(e). As far i can see, return false part should stop the form, maybe it's because you are not using the onsubmit="verifyRecaptcha(e)" in the form opening tag. So direct onload script does not work. Your code should look like this:
html:
<form id="email_subscription_form" onsubmit="verifyRecaptcha(e) class="form-inline float-right" method="post" action="/my-endpoint/">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="id_email_address" class="d-none">Email Address</label>
<input type="email" id="id_email_address" class="form-control border-0 rounded-0" name="email_address" value="" placeholder="Email Address">
<input type="hidden" name="mailpiece_slug" value="{{ page.settings.email_newsletter_slug }}" />
<input type="hidden" name="event_slug" value="subscribe" />
</div>
</form>
js:
<script>
function verifyRecaptcha(e) {
e.preventDefault()
return false
}
</script>
I highly recommend that you look into how django can help you with forms: working with forms.
django's built-in form management has all the good stuff, such as validation, already handled and allows you to focus on other things. Also, you can still add your JS as usual.
See the above link to the docs and this following example to get some quick insight:
from django import forms
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError
class ContactForm(forms.Form):
# Everything as before.
...
def clean_recipients(self):
data = self.cleaned_data['recipients']
if "fred#example.com" not in data:
raise ValidationError("You have forgotten about Fred!")
# Always return a value to use as the new cleaned data, even if
# this method didn't change it.
return data
This would check if the field 'recipients' has the specific email in it. If not, it would raise a ValidationError with the declared text being displayed below the respective field in the form.

I'm really stuck on this I'm not sure how I would code text being sent or where i could send it to
<div class="comment-box">
<h2> submit quiz </h2>
<form action="#">
<input type="text" name="full_name" placeholder="Full Name...">
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email Address...">
<button type="submit">submit comment</button>
</form>
any help or ideas on how i can do this would be great
Assuming you want to receive this information via email and need a quick and easy solution (however not reccomended), you can use this form tag
<form action=”mailto:contact#yourdomain.com” method=”POST” enctype=”text/plain” name=”EmailForm”>
Ensure you change the email in the form action="" tag.
You can also look into using a more advanced method through PHP.
I have the following code:
<form>
<input type="email" id="login_email" required>
<input type="submit" value="Sign in" ng-click="signIn()">
</form>
The problem with above code is that signIn() method gets called even if there is an email validation error from HTML5 side. In general how to ensure that signIn() method gets called only when all the input validation of the form are successful?
Use $pristine to find out if the form is empty, and $invalid to find out if the form is populated but has invalid values (maybe an incorrect email, for example).
<form name="myForm">
<input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required />
<button ng-click="signIn()" ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid || myForm.$pristine">Save</button>
</form>
So now your submit button will be disabled (not clickable) until your form is valid.
EDIT
In order to validate only with HTML5 validation, add a name attribute to your form and you can access the validity of it during submission:
<form name="myForm">...</form>
$scope.signIn = function(){
if ($scope.myForm.$valid){
// do sign in logic here
}
}
Maybe even inline the logic on your submit button (if it works):
<input type="submit" value="Sign in" ng-click="myForm.$valid && signIn()">
So signIn would only be called if the first part was true.
EDIT 2
Based on the information found on the AngularJS docs here, can you try the following as well?:
<form name="myForm">
<input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required />
<button ng-click="signIn()" ng-disabled="signIn()">Save</button>
</form>
$scope.signIn = function () {
if ($scope.myForm.email.$error.required) {
// ...
}
};
We are now following the $scope.myForm.email.$error.required syntax approach.
Try logging $scope.myForm or $scope.myForm.email and see what you get as you modify the value.
Here is my form,
<div id="myForm">
<form method="post" id="contact-form" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">
<div class="row uniform">
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<input type="text" name="fullname" id="fullname" value="" placeholder="Enter your full name" required />
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" placeholder="enter your email address" required />
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" value="" placeholder="Enter your message" ></textarea>
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$">
<ul class="actions">
<li><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="special" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
I want to replace form with, thank you for submitting on selecting the submit button, at the moment It just refreshes the page and does not replace the form, I don't want it to refresh the page I want it to just submit and fade in a message saying thank you for submitting your details.
here is my jquery
<script>
$("#contact-form").submit(function(){
$("#myForm").html("thank you for submitting your details.");
});
</script>
Please can you help?
We have to create a ajax call in order to submit without refreshing the page:
$("#contact-form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize());
$("#myForm").html("thank you for submitting your details.");
});
https://jsfiddle.net/u2gyocj7/1/
Take a look in the network tab to display the POST data
In that case you will want to look at using ajax form. If you submit as it is then it will post back and refresh the page. Ajax will post the data without changing anything on the page.
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/
jQuery AJAX submit form
Then, once the data has been sent you can manipulate the DOM as you wish. This will also allow you to show different messages based on whether the data was saved correctly or not, if done correctly.
So I have this little contact form on my site, and it's suppose to input some text into an empty p tag telling the client that's it's been submitted. It works fine, it does what it should, but in IE/Edge it ignores everything and inputs the word null into the p tags.
You'll have to forgive me, I'm still new to javascript, but I couldn't find anything anywhere to address this bug. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="#" onsubmit="return setReturn()">
<input type="hidden" value="someone#email.com" name="emailTo">
<fieldset>
<p id="thanks"></p>
<legend>Send me a message</legend>
<div class="contact-info">
<input placeholder="Name*" type="text" name="name" required>
<input placeholder="Email*" type="Email" name="email" required>
</div>
<textarea placeholder="Message*" name="message" required></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitContact" class="button">
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
function setReturn(){
localStorage.setItem("thanks", "Your request was sent successfully!");
}
document.getElementById("thanks").innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("thanks");
localStorage.clear();
</script>
Your issue is that when the innerHTML of the "thanks" element is set, the string in localStorage is unset.
Then when the form is submitted, the localStorage item is set, but the "thanks" element's innerHTML isn't set (it was set to undefined before).
In order to make sure the "thanks" element is updated when the form is submitted, you need to include the lines that set it in the function that fires when the form is submitted.
function setReturn(){
localStorage.setItem("thanks", "Your request was sent successfully!");
document.getElementById("thanks").innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("thanks");
localStorage.clear();
}
On form submit you are calling setReturn function , but when this snippet document.getElementById("thanks").innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("thanks"); is parsed localStorage does not have this key. So you have to first set this local storage before use it's value as innerHTML like in the previous answer.
Also it is odd that you are using localStorge and even you are clearing it, when this thing can be acheived by this snippet
HTML
<form id="contact-form" method="post" action="#" onsubmit="return setReturn()">
<input type="hidden" value="someone#email.com" name="emailTo">
<fieldset>
<p id="thanks"></p>
<legend>Send me a message</legend>
<div class="contact-info">
<input placeholder="Name*" type="text" name="name" required>
<input placeholder="Email*" type="Email" name="email" required>
</div>
<textarea placeholder="Message*" name="message" required></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitContact" class="button">
</fieldset>
</form>
JS
function setReturn(){
event.preventDefault()
document.getElementById("thanks").innerHTML = "Your request was sent successfully!";
}
NOTE: I used event.preventDefault just for demo but in real application you dont need to use it as it will prevent default behaviour or the submit button.
Here is a WORKING COPY
Also you can use an IIF to set up this localStorage.This function will be executed as soon as it parsed and will set up the key thanks to it.
(function(){
localStorage.setItem("thanks", "Your request was sent successfully!");
}())
Then onsubmit you can use your function without making any change
function setReturn(){
event.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("thanks").innerHTML = localStorage.getItem("thanks");
localStorage.clear();
}
WORKING COPY WITH IIF
Hope this is helpful
This is my first time using this plugin. I am using jQuery v-1.10. I am also using the migrate plugin. I have added the js file. I have added all of these using prepros. But still the plugin is not working.
No error is also showing in the console; only a warning is showing saying:
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.
My form and the JS code is given below.
<form id="login-form" method="post" action="#" novalidate>
<label for="login-email" class="control-label">Email : </label>
<input id="login-email" class="form-control" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email..." required><br>
<label for="login-password" class="control-label">Password : </label>
<input id="login-password" class="form-control" name="password" type="password" placeholder="Password..." required><br>
<input class="btn btn-default" name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
$("#login-form input").not("[type=submit]").jqBootstrapValidation();
You must use proper controls in your markup for this to work.
Ex.
<form ...>
<div class="control-group">
<label ...>Email</label>
<div class="controls">
<input ... />
<p class="help-block"></p>
</div>
</div>
</form>
And personally I believe the better way of handling the javascript is to create a "validated" class because not all fields will require validation. But I suppose this really depends on your form elements: you may indeed require the entire form to be validated but in most of the forms I've worked with, only certain elements require validation and therefor creating a class to call in your javascript is better so that jqBootstrapValidation.js isn't scanning the entire form.
Ex.
/* assigned by class */
$(function(){$(".validated").jqBootstrapValidation();});
/* assigned by element */
$(function(){$("input,select,textarea").not("[type=submit]").jqBootstrapValidation();});
Then simply add your "validated" class to anything you need validated:
<input type="email" class="form-control validated" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email Address" required />
Hope this helps!
