I have tabs with forms in each of them and on click of reset button, it resets form fields of that form only.
//Reset respective forms
$('#thresholds .reset').on('click', function() {
$('#thresholds').trigger("reset");
});
$('#attributes .reset').on('click', function() {
$('#attributes').trigger("reset");
});
$('#rules .reset').on('click', function() {
$('#rules').trigger("reset");
});
$('#events .reset').on('click', function() {
$('#events').trigger("reset");
});
#thresholds, #attributes, #rules, #events are the form IDs.
How can I optimise this for code repetition?
You can identify all reset click with .reset class and then select closest from of this button and apply reset trigger.
Please find below mentioned code. This will help you.
$('.reset').on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('form').trigger('reset');
});
Check working example below.
$('.reset').on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('form').trigger('reset');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="thresholds">
<input type="text" />
<input type="button" class='reset' value="Reset" />
</form>
<form id="attributes">
<input type="text" />
<input type="button" class='reset' value="Reset" />
</form>
<form id="rules">
<input type="text" />
<input type="button" class='reset' value="Reset" />
</form>
<form id="events">
<input type="text" />
<input type="button" class='reset' value="Reset" />
</form>
Let me know if it not works.
You can merge them like this:
$('#thresholds .reset, #attributes .reset, #rules .reset, #events .reset').on('click', function() {
$(this).parents('form:first').trigger("reset");
});

I'm not getting form values on submit of two forms with the same class.
When I submit one of the forms,
a) Jquery submit event is called but values are empty
b) the submit event is skipped and I'm taken right to the php file where I enter the info into a database
My Jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('body').on('submit', '.newStaff', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var firstName= this.firstName.value;
// do other stuff
//complete AJAX call
});
});
My forms
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
// use other inputs.....
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
// use other inputs.....
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
Am I not binding correctly? Haven't had issues like this before. I've always been able to get unique input values based on the form that was submitted.
my be you can use function eq jquery for this
$(function() {
$('body').on('submit', '.newStaff', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var firstName = $('.newStaff input[name="firstName"]').eq(0).val();
alert(firstName);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="1 2 3"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<br/>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="a b c"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
i have 3 textfield which i want to clone with one remove icon on add button click ...upto this my code works fine.
Now i want to remove the last 3 textfields of that particular div on remove button click...but my code removes all the dynamically added textfields of my form..
please help me to resolve this....
$('#add_exercise').on('click', function() {
$('#exercises').append('<div class="exercise"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"></div>');
$('#exercises').append('<div class="exercise"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"></div>');
$('#exercises').append('<div class="exercise"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"><button class="remove">x</button></div>');
return false;
});
$('#exercises').on('click', '.remove', function() {
$(this).parents("#exercises").remove();
return false;
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<fieldset id="exercises">
<div class="exercise">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
</div>
<button id="add_exercise">add exercise</button>
<button class="remove">x</button>
</fieldset>
The issue is with your use of .parents('#excercises') as this selects the top level container and removes it.
A better solution would be to wrap all the 3 inputs you append in their own div and then remove that using closest(), like this:
$('#add_exercise').on('click', function() {
$('#exercises').append('<div class="exercise"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"><input type="text" name="exercise[]"><button type="button" class="remove">x</button></div>');
});
$('#exercises').on('click', '.remove', function() {
$(this).closest(".exercise").remove();
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<fieldset id="exercises">
<div class="exercise">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
<input type="text" name="exercise[]">
<button type="button" class="remove">x</button>
</div>
<button type="button" id="add_exercise">add exercise</button>
</fieldset>
Note that I added type="button" to your <button> elements as it would make sense for them not to submit any parent form elements.
How can I know which form I clicked? Is it possible with a button class instead of buttons with id?
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".form-buttons").click(function () {
//I only want the form which corresponds to the button I clicked
var formDates = $(form).serialize()
alert ("You clicked "+formDates)
})
})
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" value="date1" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date2" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date3" name="name3"/>
<button type="button" class="form-button"></button>
</form>
<form id="form2">
<input type="text" value="date4" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date5" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date6" name="name3"/>
<button type="button" class="form-button"></button>
</form>
Yes use class instead of id for similar elements. Please try this.
Note: form-button is the class name in your HTML and not form-buttons
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".form-button").click(function () {
var formDates = $(this).closest('form').serialize();
alert ("You clicked "+formDates)
})
})
I think you be looking for
$('.form-button').on('click', function () {
alert($(this).parents('form').attr('id')); // Check the ID of the form clicked
});
something Maybe Like mentioned above.
You can get the name of the element by using the this keyword which refer, in a DOM event, to the cibled element :
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".form-buttons").click(function () {
alert('You clicked the form' + this.parentElement.getAttribute('id'));
})
})
You can do this in a few different ways. You can traverse up the DOM and see which form is used or -and this is my favorite- you can submit the form!
Solution 1: Traversing up the DOM
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".form-button").click(function () {
var clicked_form = $(this).parent();
var formDates = clicked_form.serialize();
alert ("You clicked "+formDates);
})
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" value="date1" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date2" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date3" name="name3"/>
<button type="button" class="form-button"></button>
</form>
<form id="form2">
<input type="text" value="date4" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date5" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date6" name="name3"/>
<button type="button" class="form-button"></button>
</form>
</body>
Solution 2: Submit the form
You already are using the form, so why not submit it? Change the buttons to input elements with type submit and intercept the submit event, like this. This is how I think it should be done. It is also better for user experience because the user can just submit the form by pressing enter.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("form").on('submit', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formDates = $(this).serialize()
alert ("You clicked "+formDates)
})
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" value="date1" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date2" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date3" name="name3"/>
<input type="submit" class="form-button"></input>
</form>
<form id="form2">
<input type="text" value="date4" name="name1"/>
<input type="text" value="date5" name="name2"/>
<input type="text" value="date6" name="name3"/>
<input type="submit" class="form-button"></input>
</form>
</body>
Check this fiddle on how I would do it.
https://jsfiddle.net/xtfeugav/
Simple use
$("form").submit(function(e) {
to listen for every submit on all the forms you have. To get the ID of the form you use
var formid = $(this).attr('id');
I used e.preventDefault(); to prevent the form don't update the page.
Remember to use <input type="submit" value="Submit"> on your forms to make this work.
Its a simple code, hope it helps.
I have this form http://jsfiddle.net/thiswolf/XDsSt/ with four identical inputs and buttons.The problem is,each section is updates its own unique data in the database so when updating,its important the submit button i click updates the database with the input from that section only.
My function is
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".xx").live('click', function(){
alert('clicked');
});
});
How do i make sure the button click is unique to that section?.
Use an ID value instead for each input button. This way, jQuery can identify it like so:
$('#button_tag');
HTML:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<section>
<input type="text" value="Town">
<input type="text" value="Mayor">
<input type="text" value="Highway">
<input id="btn1" type="submit" class="xx" value="Submit">
</section>
<section>
<input type="text" value="Town">
<input type="text" value="Mayor">
<input type="text" value="Highway">
<input id="btn2" type="submit" class="xx" value="Submit">
</section>
<section>
<input type="text" value="Town">
<input type="text" value="Mayor">
<input type="text" value="Highway">
<input id="btn3" type="submit" class="xx" value="Submit">
</section>
<section>
<input type="text" value="Town">
<input type="text" value="Mayor">
<input type="text" value="Highway">
<input id="btn4" type="submit" class="xx" value="Submit">
</section>
</body>
</html>
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".xx").live('click', function () {
alert('clicked ' + $(this).attr('id'));
});
});
JsFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/XDsSt/7/
Get the corresponding section that button belongs to . Then access the elements inside that. You may use the jQuery closest()/parent()(if only one layer of hierarchy of controls) function for that.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".xx").live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault(); //if you want to prevent normal form submit
var item=$(this);
var sectionClicked=item.closest("section");
//Let's alert the first text box
alert(sectionClicked.find("input").first().val());
//do whatever with the items belongs the current section
});
});
Sample : http://jsfiddle.net/XDsSt/8/
I recommend you to switch to jQuery on instead of live as it is deprecated.
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".xx").live('click', function() {
$('section').has(this).find(':input:text').each(function() {
alert( this.value ) ;
});
});
});
Demo
If possible then instead of .live(), use .on() with jQUery 1.7+, because live() is deprecated.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").on('click', '.xx', function() {
$('section').has(this).find(':input:text').each(function() {
alert( this.value ) ;
});
});
});
Demo
if id is not an option - I don't understand that , but you can put multiple classes in buttons
<input type="button" class="xx btn1" ... >
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".xx").live('click', function(){ // look into on instead on live
if $(this).hasclass('btn1');{
alert('clicked');
}
});
});
I have an input which searcher's google web and another input to search google images. For each input i have buttons to fadeIn either. Can the search input be the same but search different sites?
Here is a fiddle of what I currently have: http://jsfiddle.net/kwC36/
To search the web I use:
<form action="http://google.com/search" method="get" class="websearch">
and to search images I use:
<form action="http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=" method="get" class="imagesearch">
Thanks alot
Yeah, you can switch action on the form:
$('.web').click(function(){
$('form')[0].action = "http://google.com/search";
// do something
$('.websearch').fadeIn();
});
$('.image').click(function(){
$('form')[0].action = "http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=";
// do something
$('.websearch').fadeIn();
});
Assign custom data attributes to the button so the form action can be dynamic:
HTML:
<form id="search-form" action="" method="get" class="websearch">
<input id="search-field" type="text" class="searcher" name="" />
</form>
<input type="button" value="Search the web" class="search-btn" data-action="http://google.com/search" data-field-name="" />
<input type="button" value="Search images" class="search-btn" data-action="http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=" data-field-name="q" />
JQuery:
$('.search-btn').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('#search-field').attr('name',$(this).data('field-name'));
$('#search-form').attr('action',$(this).data('action')).submit();
});
<input type="submit" name="srch_images" value="Search Images">
<input type="submit" name="srch_google" value="Search Google">
if( isset($_POST['srch_images'] )
{
something();
}
else if( isset($_POST['srch_google']) )
{
something_else();
}
You can use the same textbox to search for web and image. Also there is no need to have two form tags. Try this
$('.web').click(function(){
$('form').attr('action', "http://google.com/search").submit();
});
$('.image').click(function(){
$('form').attr('action', "http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=").submit();
});
HTML:
<form action="http://google.com/search" method="get" class="websearch">
<input type="text" class="searcher">
<input type="submit" value="Web Search" class="web">
<input type="submit" value="Image Search" class="image">
</form>
Javascript:
$('.image').click(function() {
$(this).parent()
.attr('action', 'http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=');
});
That should do it.
