The problem:
Working within a Saas environment that processes a form in a way that needs to be altered. It's software-as-a-service so unique changes system wide are not an option.
Attempted Solution:
Attempting to use Javascript which the system is adding to the header area of the page to change the value of a form ID so when the form is submitted it contains the altered value.
The Code:
HTML
<div class="form-group " data-field="how_to_apply">
<label class="form-label">How to Apply </label>
<div id="application-settings" class="form--move-left clearfix row">
<div class="form-group form-group__half">
<input id="via-email" name="ha" value="1" checked="checked" onclick="displayInput(false, 'how_to_apply_1');" type="radio" />
<label for="via-email" class="form-label">
By Email<br/>
</label>
<input value="systemapplied#emailaddress.com" class="form-control" name="how_to_apply" id="how_to_apply_1" type="email" />
</div>
<div class="form-group form-group__half">
<input id="via-site" name="ha" value="2" onclick="displayInput(false, 'how_to_apply_2');" type="radio" />
<label for="via-site" class="form-label">
By URL
</label>
<input value="" class="form-control" name="how_to_apply" id="how_to_apply_2" disabled="disabled" type="url" required placeholder="e.g. http://www.yourwebsite.com"/>
</div>
</div>
Attempting to change the email address assigned to how_to_apply_1 ID
Javascript Used
document.getElementById("how_to_apply_1").value = "new#emailaddress.com";
It is important to add that this works as expected in a CodePen area but does not on the live site so my assumption is that there is something over writing this someplace I am not seeing, or I need to use something else to force the change, I don't know. Any suggestions or help would be GREATLY appreciated
Thanks in advance...
You need to run your script when the DOM is ready. You can wrap your script in DOMContentLoaded event like this:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
document.getElementById("how_to_apply_1").value = "new#emailaddress.com";
});

I need someone to please tell me how to remove this auto-suggested text below the input field. I have tried autocomplete="off" , autocomplete="false". I've also placed <form autocomplete="off"></form> in form tag.
Anyone with a solution please help.
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<span class="label">Enter Postal Code</span>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="search_input" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Type postal code ..." required>
</div>
</div>
Here you can see which browsers support the autofill attribute CaniUse. Here is a simple work around from this source: Turning off form-autocompletion.
You can work around with autofill="new-password"
"If you are defining a user management page where a user can specify a new password for another person, and therefore you want to prevent autofilling of password fields, you can use autocomplete="new-password"."
<form method="post" action="/form">
<div>
<label for="cc">Enter Postal Code:</label>
<input type="text" id="cc" name="cc" autocomplete="new-password">
</div>
</form>
Lastly, instead of pairing a <span> with the input element, it is common practice to use the <label> element. Please read more here label
Apply autocomplete="off" to your form not the input box.
Below is my code:
<form>
<div class="form-group loginFormGrp">
<label class="caption">Backup Cloud</label>
<div class="custSelect loginSelect">
<label class="caption">Server URL</label>
<input type="text" aria-label="Server URL" name="serverUrl" class="form-control" placeholder="example.server.com" value="">
</div>
<div class="form-group loginFormGrp">
<label class="caption">Email</label>
<input type="text" aria-label="Email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="user#example.com" value="">
</div>
<div class="loginBtnRow">
<button tabindex="0" type="submit" class="lgBtn btn btn-primary btn-block">Continue</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
whenever voiceover highlights the input text field it reads "You are currently on text field, inside web content. To enter text in this filed, type. To exit web area,.."
and when I Start typing it says nothing.
and checked other appilcation or websites it reads what i am typing.
but in my case its not reading.
Please help if anyone knows the solution.
Add title attribute to the input element and provide additional text.
Adding aria-label to the input elements should also be picked by the screen readers.
http://pauljadam.com/demos/title-aria-label.html provides details on how different browsers and screen readers treat these attributes.
Your code seems pretty fine. I tried with a chrome plugin called ChromeVox everything seems to be fine except that add the lang attribute to the parent html tag and enclose everything in a body tag some thing like this.
<html lang="en-US" style="height: 100%;">
<body>
<form>
<div class="form-group loginFormGrp">
<label class="caption">Backup Cloud</label>
<div class="custSelect loginSelect">
<label class="caption">Server URL</label>
<input type="text" aria-label="Server URL" name="serverUrl" class="form-control" placeholder="example.server.com" value="">
</div>
<div class="form-group loginFormGrp">
<label class="caption">Email</label>
<input type="text" aria-label="Email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="user#example.com" value="">
</div>
<div class="loginBtnRow">
<button tabindex="0" type="submit" class="lgBtn btn btn-primary btn-block">Continue</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I'm not sure if this'll help, but You may try to update fields value attribute, every time user modify text field. Something like that:
document.querySelectorAll('input[type="text"]').forEach(function(v){
v.addEventListener('input', function(){
v.setAttribute('value', v.value);
});
});
But I wish someone provide better answer, without using extra JavaScript.
I'm using i18next to translate my form. It works fine but I have problems with nested items, for example:
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px" class="input-group">
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="form" data-i18n="form.checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="true" required>
</label>
</div>
</div>
After applying the translation, the actual HTML code is like this:
<div style="margin-bottom: 25px" class="input-group">
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="form" data-i18n="form.checkbox">
translated value (no more <input> tag!)
</label>
</div>
</div>
It overwrites the innerHTML with the translation string.
Instead I need to "save" existing items and append the translation after them.
What is the correct use of i18next on a checkbox form entry?
I had the same problem and I solved it like this:
$('[data-i18n]').each(function each() {
const el = $(this);
const contents = el.contents();
el.text(i18n.t($(this).attr('data-i18n')))
.append(contents);
});
Edit:
The above is oversimplifying the problem because, as you pointed out, it won't work for custom attributes.
Therefore I searched a bit more and I found out it's already supported by jquery-i18next#append-content like this:
<label class="form" data-i18n="[append]form.checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="true" required>
</label>
You can either specify a custom attribute or one of the special attributes like prepend, append, etc. to specify where you want the translated text to appear. More info on jquery i18next doc
Example on jsfiddle
I solved in this way:
<div class="checkbox">
<label class="form">
<input id="input_flag2" type="checkbox" name="disclaimer2" value="true" required>
<span data-i18n="form.checkbox"></span>
</label>
</div>
The span tag does the trick, embedding the translated content.
I configure braintree.js like this:
braintree.setup(
brainTreeClientToken= 'token_from_server'
'dropin', {
container: 'brainTreeDropin',
form: 'checkout'
});
</script>
As i understand from the documentation of developers.braintree, you need to send a request param named 'payment_method_nonce' to your server, but it is not present in request. I don't see any js fault in browser console by the way.
Here is my form:
<form id="checkout" method="post"
th:action="....">
<div id="brainTreeDropin"></div>
<div >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cardNumber">Credit Card Number</label>
<input data-braintree-name="number" ..other details.. "/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cardHolder">Name on Card</label>
<input data-braintree-name="cardholder_name" ..other details.. />
</div>
</div>
<div >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="cvc">Security Code(CVC)</label>
<input data-braintree-name="cvv" ..other details.. />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="expDate">Expiration Date</label>
<input data-braintree-name="expiration_date" ..other details.. />
</div>
</div>
</form>
Any idea of what's my fault?
I work at Braintree on the SDK Team.
The Drop-In integration requires a button or type=["submit"] element to be present within the form. I tried out your integration and was able to get a payment_method_nonce value sent to my server by adding in a <button>Pay</button> element. Try that out to see if that fixes your integration.
Also, just out of curiosity, is it your intent to have 2 credit card input methods inside of the same form? The Drop-In form contains the necessary fields for Credit Cards and you shouldn't need the data-braintree-name annotated inputs.
jQuery, when i use it to create a modal window which contains form elemets,
it takes out those elements when i submit the form.
example of the form:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/system/article/add/" class="from" method="post">
<label for="article_title" class="required">Title:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="article_title" name="article_title" value="" type="text">
<label for="url" class="required">Url:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="url" name="url" value="" type="text">
<div id="add_photo" style="width: auto;" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content" title="Add Photo">
<label for="photo_title" class="optional">Photo title:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="photo_title" name="photo_title" value="" type="text">
<label for="photot" class="optional">Photo thumb:</label>
<input type="file" name="photot" id="photot" class="formfield">
<label for="photo_checkbox" class="optional">Include lighbox?</label>
<input name="photo_checkbox" value="0" type="hidden">
<input class="checkbox" id="photo_checkbox" name="photo_checkbox" value="1" type="checkbox">
<label for="photo_big" class="optional">Photo:</label>
<input type="file" name="photo_big" id="photo_big" class="formfield">
</div>
</form>
exaple of JS:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#add_photo").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
buttons: {
"Ok": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
So what i nocited during the inspetion via firebug, is that jquery actually removes my form elements within #add_photo and puts them outside the form in DOM, so even tough in html the modal dialog is within my form, in DOM it isn't ....
An this is the reason why i'm having the issue!
Have anyone encountered simmilar problem?
Any solution?! Thank you very much!
I just had the same problem. I solved it by adding another
<div id="beforesubmit" style="display:none"></div>
at the end (but inside) of the form and then you have to add this to jQuery:
$("form").submit(function() {
$("#add_photo").prependTo("#beforesubmit");
});
This will make sure that before the form is submit your dialog div will be put back in between the form tags. Thanks to arnorhs I came to this solution.
Cheers!
I'm not sure what dialog box plugin you're using, but I would suspect that the dialog box plugin is pulling the DIV out of the form and placing it into the body of the page, so It can bring the box in front of the page, outside of the form element.
So to rephrase, in order for the dialog box plugin to make your dialog appear in front of all the content on your page, it needs to remove it from whatever element it is sitting in, no matter if it's a form or anything else.
The form needs to be inside the div. That's how it is in all the Dialog examples. Not sure how you're going to do that with the title and url inputs not being on the dialog. Couldn't you put them on it too?
This wouldn't have the problem:
<div id="add_photo" style="width: auto;" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content" title="Add Photo">
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/system/article/add/" class="from" method="post">
<label for="article_title" class="required">Title:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="article_title" name="article_title" value="" type="text">
<label for="url" class="required">Url:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="url" name="url" value="" type="text">
<label for="photo_title" class="optional">Photo title:</label>
<input class="formfield" id="photo_title" name="photo_title" value="" type="text">
<label for="photot" class="optional">Photo thumb:</label>
<input type="file" name="photot" id="photot" class="formfield">
<label for="photo_checkbox" class="optional">Include lighbox?</label>
<input name="photo_checkbox" value="0" type="hidden">
<input class="checkbox" id="photo_checkbox" name="photo_checkbox" value="1" type="checkbox">
<label for="photo_big" class="optional">Photo:</label>
<input type="file" name="photo_big" id="photo_big" class="formfield">
</form>
</div>
This article describes how to solve your problem:
You’ll see that the content we had mid-way through our page has been marked up with additional classes and, most importantly, placed at the bottom of the page immediately before the closing tag. Why is this important? Because it also means that any ASP.Net controls you place within this dialog will also appear at the bottom of the page, outside of the page’s tag. This means you won’t be able to get a handle to them on postback.
What’s the solution? Well, there are two options:
Move the elements back to the form, and manually submit when the button is clicked
Clone the elements when you create the dialog, then clone the values back, trigger click on the original button (or, if you only have one or two values to post back, simply assign the values to an ASP.Net hidden field control).
From http://blog.coreycoogan.com/2010/12/01/jquerys-dialog-and-form-problems/
Tie it to the form by doing $("mydialog").parent().appendTo($("form:first")).
Note that you have to this call after you already called $("mydialog").dialog()
As seen in the answer for this question, jQuery dialog has a field appendTo, that can be used to configure where to put your dialog (div-wise) on initialization.
This seems to be the least ninja-workaround version to tackle the problem.
