I want to get the user filled form and display their output.
So I tried this:
<form name="testForm">
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
<br>
<input type="text" name="password" id="password">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="myFunc()">
</form>
<div id="demo"></div>
<script>
function myFunc(){
var x = document.getElementById('username').value;
document.write(x);
}
</script>
This works as intended. Now, I just want to change the way it displays by making it display in the div with the id demo.
So this is what I tried:
<form name="testForm">
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
<br>
<input type="text" name="password" id="password">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="myFunc()">
</form>
<div id="demo"></div>
<script>
function myFunc(){
var x = document.getElementById('username').value;
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML =x;
}
</script>
Now as you can see, this doesn't work. It actually displays the results and then reloads a blank screen. I can't seem to understand why this is happening.
From my code, I can see that I've assigned x to the username value. So all I am doing is instead of using document.write (which worked), I am just wanting it to display in the div. However it displays and loads a blank screen.
Can someone please let me know what am I doing wrong? How can I display under the div demo of what the user typed in for username field. Is it a syntax error?
ps: I am self learning and practicing, so I just tried to play with username. Once I do that I will apply the same codes for password.
you can use preventDefault() to stop submit button from submitting.
<form name="testForm">
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
<br>
<input type="text" name="password" id="password">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="myFunc(event)">
</form>
<div id="demo"></div>
<script>
function myFunc(event){
event.preventDefault();
var x = document.getElementById('username').value;
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML =x;
}
</script>
You need to prevent form submission.
Change myFunc to:
function myFunc (evt) {
evt.preventDefault();
// everything else
}

I have started javascript DOM manipulation, I come across an error maybe.
Whenever I input in name field like jaykumar and press click me button .In demo, jaykumar comes and with in few microseconds go.
function myfunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myform").elements["fname"].value;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
<form id="myform">
name<input type="textbox" name="fname"> email
<input type="textbox" name="email">
<button onclick="myfunction()"> Click me</button>
</form>
<div id="demo"></div>
A button inside a form's default behaviour is to submit the form. To change this make the button of type="button"
function myfunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myform").elements["fname"].value;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = x;
}
<form id="myform">
name<input type="textbox" name="fname"> email
<input type="textbox" name="email">
<button type="button" onclick="myfunction()"> Click me</button>
</form>
<div id="demo"></div>
Before anyone marks this as a duplicate, I have looked at many sites and am currently using this one - jQuery - passing value from one input to another for guidance, yet no result... I am trying to pass a value from one input in one form to another input in a 'table'. I have put it in a table because of a very weird reason - it does not display a Sparql value when in a form only displays in a table so the input was placed in a table. My code is below:
Form
<form onclick="txtFullName.value = txtFirstName.value +'_'+ txtLastName.value">
First name : <input type="text" name="txtFirstName" value="#ViewBag.FirstName"/> <br><br>
Last name : <input type="text" name="txtLastName" value="#ViewBag.LastName" /> <br><br>
Full name : <input type="text" id="txtFullName" name="txtFullName"> <br><br />
<input id="submit12" type="button" value="Submit">
</form>
Table
<table id="results">
<Full name:
<br>
<input id="userInput" type="text" name="fullname" ${userJson.userId == ''?'': 'disabled'} value="#ViewBag.DisplayName">
<br>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</table>
JQUERY
$('#submit12').on('click', function (e) { //Form submit
$('#userInput').change(function () {
$('txtFullName').val($(this).val());
});
});
I am trying to display the txtFullName into userInput input when pressing submit but right now only the `txtFullName' is displayed when pressing submit. Also the submit is the submit button in the FORM.
Anymore info needed let me know:)
You need to change the onclick to action on the form if you are trying to use submit button. The other way is to use input type button instead of submit:
So:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit12').on('click', function (e) {
console.log('test');
$("#txtFullName").val($("#txtFirstName").val() + '_' + $("#txtLastName").val());
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
First name : <input type="text" id="txtFirstName" value="First"/> <br><br>
Last name : <input type="text" id="txtLastName" value="Last" /> <br><br>
Full name : <input type="text" id="txtFullName" name="txtFullName"> <br><br />
<input id="submit12" type="button" value="Submit">
</form>
If you want to display txtFullName into userInput, simply do something like this:
$('#submit12').on('click', function (e) { //Form submit
$('#userInput').val($('#txtFullName').val());
});
And why do you need change function there , if yo need changes when click submit.
Edit your JQuery like this:
$('#submit12').on('click', function (e) { //Form submit
$('#userInput').change(function () {
$('#txtFullName').val($(this).val());
});
});
$('#submit').on('click', function () { //Form submit
$('#userInput').val($('#txtFullName').val());
});
I don't clearly understand why you do it but It can fix your code.
It is not entirely clear what the two buttons do, but the operation itself is really very simple. See comments inline for explanations:
// Wait until the DOM is loaded and all elements are avaialble
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(){
// Get references to the DOM elements you'll need
var theForm = document.getElementById("frmTest");
var txtFirstName = document.getElementById("txtFirstName");
var txtLasttName = document.getElementById("txtLastName");
var txtFulltName = document.getElementById("txtFullName");
var txtUserInput = document.getElementById("txtUserInput");
var btn1 = document.getElementById("btnSubmit1");
var btn2 = document.getElementById("btnSubmit2");
// Function to join names together
function combine(){
txtFullName.value = txtFirstName.value + '_' + txtLastName.value;
}
// Set event handlers
frmTest.addEventListener("click", combine);
btn1.addEventListener("click", combine);
});
<!-- Keep you JavaScript out of your HTML -->
<form id="frmTest">
First name : <input type="text" id="txtFirstName" name="txtFirstName" value="#ViewBag.FirstName">
<br><br>
Last name : <input type="text" id="txtLastName" name="txtLastName" value="#ViewBag.LastName" >
<br><br>
Full name : <input type="text" id="txtFullName" name="txtFullName"> <br><br />
<input id="btnSubmit1" type="button" value="Combine Names">
<table id="results">
<Full name:
<br>
<input id="txtUserInput" type="text" name="fullname" ${userJson.userId == ''?'': 'disabled'} value="#ViewBag.DisplayName">
<br>
<input id="btnSubmit2" type="submit" value="Submit">
</table>
</form>
Here the code that I made and not working looking to see how I would get my sum into the result field, Also looking how to make a reset button to clear all the text from the fields.
JSBin.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function addition() {
var x = +document.getElementById('num1').value;
var y = +document.getElementById('num2').value;
document.getElementById('result').value = x + y;
document.result.submit()
}
function reset() {}
</script>

<input type="button" onclick="addition()" value="addition">

Why do you want to submit the form?
You can use document.forms. to access the form.
Try this:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function addition() {
var x = +document.getElementById('num1').value;
var y = +document.getElementById('num2').value;
document.getElementById('result').value = x + y;
document.forms.calculator.submit()
}
function reset() {
document.forms.calculator.reset();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<br>
</form>
<input type="button" onclick="addition()" value="addition">
<input type="button" onclick="reset()" value="reset">

Note that forms can be submitted without clicking the submit button, so if you want something to happen on submit, attach a listener to the form's submit handler. To reset a form only requires a reset button, no code.
Form controls must have a name to be successful and submit their value with the form, and you can pass a reference to the form using this from the listener so you don't need to use getElementById.
Implementing the above significantly reduces the amount of code required.
In the following, the submit listener returns false so prevents the form from submitting. If you want the form to submit, just remove the return statement from the in–line listener:
function addition(form) {
form.result.value = +form.num1.value + +form.num2.value;
}
<form name="calculator" onsubmit="addition(this); return false;">
Number 1:
<input type="number" name="num1" value="0" autofocus>
<br> Number 2:
<input type="number" name="num2" value="0">
<br> Result:
<input type="text" name="result" value="0" readonly>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit form">
<input type="reset">
</form>
You may not want to submit the form at all, in that case you can make the submit button a plain button and call the function from there, but remember to stop the form submitting otherwise.
just give an id to the form and in your reset function, just do
document.getElementById("myForm").reset();
updates:
according to ROBG's comments, you don't need to bind a function to the button.
you can simply add a
<input type="reset">
to reset all fields of the form, and if the button is out the form, you can do
<input form="formID" type="reset">
to associate to specific form.
This is my Html code:
<head>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function logiin()
{
name_sent = document.getElementById('username').value;
pass_sent = document.getElementById('pass').value;
$.post(
'login.php',
{
name: name_sent
},
function show(data) {alert (data); }
);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!--<form>-->
Username: <input type="username" name="username" id="username"> <br>
Pass: <input type="password" name ="pass" id="pass"> <br>
<input type="submit" onclick="logiin();">
<!--</form>-->
</body>
It works with ajax and JQuery and works very well, too! :) But if i add form tag it doesn't work! why.?
It's not working because, when contained in a form, the submit button will try to submit the form.
The easiest way to prevent that from happening is to add return false; to the onclick handler:
<input type="submit" onclick="logiin(); return false;" />
The better way, though, would be to add the handler to the form itself (in case the user submits the form another way):
<form onsubmit="logiin(); return false;">
<!-- Form elements here -->
</form>
Just disable submit. If there is no button with type as submit, the form won't be submitted, unless you do it in your JavaScript code explicitly.
<body>
<form>
Username: <input type="username" name="username" id="username"> <br>
Pass: <input type="password" name ="pass" id="pass"> <br>
<input type="button" onclick="logiin();">
</form>
</body>
Probably because you are using an input button of type submit. Try using input of type button.
<input type="button" onclick="logiin();">
A button of type submit will automatically try to submit the form using post. See w3c Schools for more information.
Hi I'm having some trouble getting this to work, pretty simple all I am wanting to do is show a div once my html form is submitted.
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showHide() {
var div = document.getElementById(hidden_div);
if (div.style.display == 'none') {
div.style.display = '';
}
else {
div.style.display = 'none';
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" name="installer">
<label>Home Keyword</label>
<br />
<input type="text" name="hello" value="">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="" name="submit" onsubmit="showHide()">
</form>
<div id="hidden_div" style="display:none">
<p>Show me when form is submitted :) </p>
</div>
</body>
Any help would be much appreciated thank you :)
I think you're just missing quotes around "hidden_div" in your document.getElementById("hidden_div") call!
But actually, your page is probably posting back, resetting the state of the page and thus leaving hidden_div seemingly always in a hidden state -- are you intending on handling the form submission via AJAX?
If you want to see the intended behavior, you should move the showHide() call to the <form> element, and return false after it:
<form method="post" name="installer" onsubmit="showHide(); return false;">
and leave the submit button as:
<input type="submit" value="" name="submit" />
Also note that you haven't self-closed the <input /> button tag, or given any text to show inside it.
you need to put showhide function on form onsubmit instead of input
<form method="post" name="installer" onsubmit="showHide()">
you are also missing quotes as #Cory mentioned
I Hope this example works for you , I have used two different ways
first One for Hiding Form and second One for Showing DIV
document.forms['myFirstForm'].addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
// Do something with the form's data here
this.style['display'] = 'none';
event.preventDefault();
});
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myDIV");
if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
}
<form action="" class="m-md-5 px-md-5" method="post" name="myFirstForm">
<label for="fname">First name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="John"><br>
<label for="lname">Last name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="lname" name="lname" value="Doe"><br><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary w-100 mt-5" onclick="myFunction()">Submit</button>
</form>
<div id="myDIV" class="2" style="display:none">
