I've got a form that is submitted via ajax and is then updated by the response.
Before the submit takes place I execute the following code which works the first time but after that on the second submit, the code does not execute.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.edit_customer').submit(function(event) {
console.log("test");
if(document.getElementById("sameAsBilling").checked == true){
$("#customer_addresses_attributes_1_line_1").val($("#customer_addresses_attributes_0_line_1").val());
$("#customer_addresses_attributes_1_line_2").val($("#customer_addresses_attributes_0_line_2").val());
$("#customer_addresses_attributes_1_city").val($("#customer_addresses_attributes_0_city").val());
$("#customer_addresses_attributes_1_state").val($("#customer_addresses_attributes_0_state").val());
$("#customer_addresses_attributes_1_zip_code").val($("#customer_addresses_attributes_0_zip_code").val());
}
});
});
I've also tried changing the listener to this:
$(document).on("submit", ".edit_customer", function(){ console.log("test");});
This code doesn't execute at all.
One thing to note is I am using Ruby on Rails which uses Rails UJS. I'm not sure why the second line of code isn't solving the issue. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I have another element in my form that I use to fire JS using the same type of code and it works fine everytime. Here is the code:
$(document).on('click', '#qb-customers-btn', function(){
//code here makes an ajax call and loads in data
});
<span class="input-group-text bg-success text-light" id="qb-customers-btn">Load</span>
Update:
I ended up abandoning this and just used a button click listener, but now I am back with the same exact problem on a different form on a different page. I've tried everything I can think of. The only thing that works at the moment is wrapping the listener in an init function, calling init on document.load and then calling init again after the ajax has erased and reloaded the form on the page.

This might be very basic but I couldnt really find a solution to this. I am creating my own website. I have written a javascript file, simply called "main.js".
I can call my entire script in my HTML file like so:
<script src="main.js">
</script>
And I see in the console that everything works as it should. However, this is not what I want. What I want is the code in the JS script to be fired upon a click on my button. This is what I tried:
<input class="button" onclick="main()" type="submit"
value="Submit" name="">
</div>
So I want the script that I have referenced somewhere else in the HTML file to fire the "main" function when my button is clicked. But what happens currently is that the click onto the button simply reloads the page.
So, to get this all into one question:
I want to click my html button and then fire a single function from another script that is called "main.js".
How can I achieve that?
Thank you
I think this might be because of your type: submit.
Try changing it to type="button".
Hope this helps!
You are trying to call a function called main, but you need to run a script that creates a function. The browser won't go looking in a JS file with the same name as the function automatically.
Edit main.js so the code appears inside a function.
function main () {
// Your code here
}
If you don't want the form to be submitted after the JS function is called, then don't use a submit button to trigger it. Use a type="button".
A submit button triggers a reload as it submits the formto the server, unless your main function returns false.
Adding
return false;
at the end of main should do the trick.
I have a multi-page form where the url remains the same when moving between pages.
I am trying to change some HTML after the submit button has been clicked.
I can run this in the console and the result is as I want it.
How can I get this run after submit?
I've tried window.onload and document.onload functions but they are not working. I've also tried an onclick function but it seems moving to the next page stops this working?
var confirm = document.getElementById('gform_confirmation_message_14');
if(confirm) {
document.getElementsByClassName("entry-title")[0].innerHTML = "PAYE Worker";
}
Thanks
Perhaps the gform_page_loaded event? From the documentation it:
Fires on multi-page forms when changing pages (i.e. going to the next or previous page).
$(document).on('gform_page_loaded', function(event, form_id, current_page) {
// do stuff
});
There are a bunch of javascript events available, and if not this one, maybe another serves your purpose, e.g. gform_post_render.
I removed the Javascript completely and created a confirmation in Gravity Forms that redirects to a new page upon submission.
Created a title for this new page "PAYE worker"
Problem solved
I'm have a simple form, when clicking the submit button the backend php file gets executed by my JavaScript file, results are returned via ajax, everything works great when manually clicking the button. However, when trying to use javascript to automatically submit the form every 120 seconds it is not working. The javascript never get's called which in turn causes the php to not execute...
html
<form id="send-with-ajax" name="ping">
<input type="submit" value="Execute Ping" />
<div class="ajax-response"></div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
// refresh ping results every 120 seconds
var pingRefreshInterval = setInterval(function () {
console.log(
'submitting ping.php request after 120 second wait - time now:'+new Date());
document.getElementById("send-with-ajax").submit();
},120000);
</script>
<script src="js/portal.js"></script>
Again, there are not issues with my portal.js file or my php file -- The main thing to note here is that the document.getElementById("send-with-ajax").submit(); does not do anything... Any ideas?
Assuming that js\portal.js just executes a function when a POST event occurs, you could simply call that function from inside your interval.
If that won't work for some reason (maybe there's a lot of other stuff happening on your page that you didn't show us), and your call to submit() isn't working properly, you could also trigger a button click with $('input[type=submit]').click(); (assuming you only have one submit button on the page - otherwise add a class or an id and trigger on that instead).
Try using the submit() method. Or use AJAX.
If you are doing things on onsubmit event, document.getElementById("send-with-ajax").submit() doesn't trigger this event.
I've started using CKEditor v3 few weeks ago.using it in a php project.i've been using it with jquery (using jquery adapter) and all this while using $.ajax (because can't handle for errors when using jquery form) to submit and i thought everything was alright .
So here pops up a case where i need to use normal form mechanism to submit the ckeditor content and all the other information of the form.
To my surprise the content was empty so i started google and apparently it's a known issue.
i haven't seen any thing YET that could let me post my content to php side. so i've come up with a workaround.
I know onclick will always fire before the onsubmit so i've written this.
function returntoSubmit(){
myForm = document.forms[0];
myForm.elements["content"].value = $("#content").val();// note that the textarea name and id are all the same "content"
}
// html here
<input type="submit" value="Save" onclick="returntoSubmit()" />
that does the work for me.But truly and a little uncomfortable with this, isn't there any better method to solve this issue?
Thanks
I'm running a large application with some nasty legacy code and needed something that worked across the whole app as non-intrusively as possible. In my case it wasn't feasible to listen for submits on each page individually, and even when I did I occasionally had race conditions where the submit still occurred before the click event code had a chance to do it's thing. The following seems to do the trick for me when ran after page load at a global scope:
for(var i in CKEDITOR.instances) {
CKEDITOR.instances[i].on('blur', function() { this.updateElement(); });
}
May this help
CKEDITOR.instances[content].getData()
Just ran across this problem too... it seems that the best way to update all the textareas is:
for(var i in CKEDITOR.instances) CKEDITOR.instances[i].updateElement();
http://cksource.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15877
I have actually added my own twist that works nicely as I was having trouble today with the same issue.
I used your function call, but instead do this i give my textarea the ID of ckeditor:
function returnToSubmit() {
$('#ckeditor').val(CKEDITOR.instances['ckeditor'].getData();
}
I used this in a jquery ready event for all forms:
$('form').on('submit',function(){
for(var i in CKEDITOR.instances) {
CKEDITOR.instances[i].updateElement();
}
});
Later I add another specific form submit event handler to do the actual custom submit logic for each form.
i have problems with ajax requests and simple <input type="submit"/>.
i use to load views inside other views, modular i mean, with jquery using .load(url) from one view to another.
so the problem is that if i load view_2 inside view_1 and the js script for view_2 is inside view_1 i need to use live('click') for example to launch an xhr request from view_2, so when i try it launches 3 (multiple) xhr at same time, instead of only 1 at time, don't know why.
the only thing i know is:
using live('click') in view_1 it launches 3 multiple XHR.
using click() in view_1 it doesn't work(obviously i think).
using click() directly inside view_2 it works (but i can't use js
in loaded views, i can use js only in "parents" views)
the functions are really simple, really don't know why i have this problem (i also disabled submit in ajax beforeSend) check this is a view_1 code which runs on loaded view_2 and launches 3 XHR for click :|
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#save-doc').live('click',function(){
var _title = $('#doc-title').val();
var _doc = $('#doc-doc').val();
update_doc(url_update_doc,{'title':_title,'doc':_doc,'id_doc':_choosed_doc,'id_project':id_project},this);
});
});
function update_doc(_url,_data,_starter){
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
data:_data,
url:_url,
dataType:'json',
beforeSend:function(){
$('.ajax-loading').show();
$(_starter).attr('disabled','disabled');
},
error:function(){
$('.ajax-loading').hide();
$(_starter).removeAttr('disabled');
},
success:function(json){
$('.ajax-loading').hide();
$(_starter).removeAttr('disabled');
if(json.error){
$('#error-title').html(json.error_title);
$('#error-doc').html(json.error_doc);
$.scrollTo('.append-form-edit-doc','fast');
}
if(json.confirm){
$.scrollTo('#top','fast');
$.gritter.add({
title:'Document Saved',
text:json.confirm
});
}
}
});
}
If that's a submit button inside the form then unless you prevent the default action, the form will be submitted. (That'd account for 2 POSTs, but not three.)
Remember that .live() is binding the event handler to the document itself. With that in mind, it is searching for #save-doc throughout the document on every click.
If there are multiple elements in the document with the 'save-doc' ID then they'll all be triggered.
However, what I bet is happening to you is you may have multiple forms layered which are all being executed by this one input.
Edit: Third possibility, is what Pointy mentions. Executing a submit via your event handler and another submit occurring because of browser behavior.
Please provide the HTML and what is being loaded into them.
