I'm not sure what I am doing wrong here. I want the enter key to work as well as clicking the button.
<form action="" method="get" class="priceOptionForm" name="priceOptionForm">
<input name="paypal_email" type="text" value="whatever" id="email"></label>
Save all
</form>
Try this:
document.getElementById('email').onkeydown = function(e){
if(e.keyCode == 13){
// submit
}
};
Please use below code snippet...It should be added into script block
<script>
document.onkeydown=function(evt){
var keyCode = evt ? (evt.which ? evt.which : evt.keyCode) : event.keyCode;
if(keyCode == 13)
{
//your function call here
}
}
</script>
All below codes should be added into script block or file.
define submit function:
function submitForm(){
document.priceOptionForm.submit();
document.priceOptionForm.method='post';
}
For the enter key to submit form:
document.onkeydown=function(){
if(window.event.keyCode=='13'){
submitForm();
}
}
For the link to work:
document.getElementById("profile_price").onclick=submitForm;
You can refer to http://jsfiddle.net/honglonglong/YMX2q/ for some trying.
Use an <input type="submit"> instead of a link. Then the enter key will work automatically.
simply make a hidden button like this
HTML
<input type="submit" id="submitbtn" />
CSS
#submitbtn{display:none;}
when the user will hit the enter button the form will be submitted
Don't forget to put the type="submit"
// Process form if use enter key. put script in head.
document.onkeyup = enter;
function enter(e) {if (e.which == 13) submitForm();}
// uses keyup not down as better practice imo
// submitForm() is user function that posts the form
You Can Put a Default Button ID in form tag is automatically trigger
<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="Button1">
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick = "Button1_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick = "Button2_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="Button3" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick = "Button3_Click" />
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</form>
Oh that is because the HTML form element does not recognize the link as a button, to click..
you need to replace it with a button...
<input type="submit" value="this will display on your button" onClick="javascript:void(0)">
but if you want it to look like a link you should do this in the css
<style type="text/css">
input{background-color:white;border:0 none;}
</style>
The submit event fires when the user clicks a submit button ( or ) or presses Enter while editing a field (e.g. ) in a form. The event is not sent to the form when calling the form.submit() method directly.

I have a form with one field that the user needs to type into, and a button underneath that when clicked, does some jQuery and hides the login-form. But when I hit enter after typing something in, the page refreshes...
There's part of me that thinks it doesn't need to be an <input> or a <form>
I don't actually need to post anything. I have tried changing the input to a <button> which completely ruins my styling and still doesn't work. What's the best way of getting round this?
<div class="login-page">
<div class="form">
<form class="login-form" method="POST">
<!-- user inputs -->
<p class="phc">PHC:</p><input type="text" id="username" placeholder="Enter Your PHC Here" />
<!-- your submit button -->
<input class="login" type="button" id="submit" value="login">
</div>
True, Adam. If the form does not contain the type submit button, a keypress event has to be added manually. Otherwise Enter will act as the Accept Button on the form.
You need to attach keypress event to the form or at least the field. For convenience, you also need to combine the callback functions into one.
$('#username').on('keypress', function(event){
var code = event.keyCode || event.which;
if(code == 13){
// submit the form.
}
});
$('#username').on('keypress', function(event){
var code = event.keyCode || event.which;
if(code == 13){
console.log('Submitting form');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form class="login-form" method="POST">
<p class="phc">PHC:</p><input type="text" id="username" placeholder="Enter Your PHC Here" />
<input class="login" type="button" id="submit" value="login">
</form>
If the enter key is pressed when focused to an input field inside a form that has a submit button, the default browser behaviour is to fire a submit event on that form. You can prevent this happening by either:
return false;
or
e.preventDefault();
Full code:
$('.login-form').on('submit', function() {
return false;
});
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/nc1e2gm6/
Bear in mind that if you go down the route of using e.preventDefault(); instead or return false;, you need to pass the e variable from the function call, like:
$('.login-form').on('submit', function(e) { ...
Don't think i explained it very well but i have fixed it, the enter key now activates the submit button rather than refresh the page.
$("form").submit(function() { return false; });
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#username').keypress(function(e){
if(e.keyCode==13)
$('#submit').click();
});
});
I have some javascipt code here that validates a user form. When the user inputs the correct answer it tells them and gives them the link to the next question. At least, that's what it is supposed to do. When i click the form it reloads the page but it should not because i added return false.
the div tra holds 35
and the div usermsg is the user inputted value.
<script>
$("#submit").click(function(){
var clientmsg6 = $("#usermsg").val();
var rightanswer = $("#tra").val();
if (clientmsg6<>rightanswer)
{
$("#confirm").html("<h2>Sorry, wrong answer.</h2>");
}
else
{
$("#confirm").html("<a href='#' onclick='play();' style='font-size:20px;' id='new1'>Click here for Question 2</a>");
}
return false;
});
</script>
Any ideas why this is not working?
It should be
if (clientmsg6 != rightanswer)
not
if (clientmsg6<>rightanswer)
To prevent a form submission, you need to return false on the form itself instead of on the submit button. Your code should become:
HTML
<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input id="usermsg" type="text" name="answer" />
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
JS (please note the line where you have clientmsg6, you have a syntax error)
$("#myform").on('submit', function(){
var clientmsg6 = $("#usermsg").val();
var rightanswer = $("#tra").val();
if (clientmsg6 != rightanswer) { //This line was also wrong, should be != instead of <>
$("#confirm").html("<h2>Sorry, wrong answer.</h2>");
}
else {
$("#confirm").html("<a href='#' onclick='play();' style='font-size:20px;' id='new1'>Click here for Question 2</a>");
}
return false;
});
Alternatively, you can keep your existing code by changing your submit button to be just a plain old button, but you will lose the extra functionality of the user being able to hit the enter key and performing the same action.
<form action="page.php" method="post">
<input id="usermsg" type="text" name="answer" />
<input id="submit" type="button" value="Submit" />
</form>
Instead of using .html(), try using .text()
if #submit is a link tag otherwise use the form ID and the submit event
$("#submit").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault()
...
...
...
});
You need to attach handlers once the document has finished loading.
Wrap your script in the following
<script>
$(function() {
// script
});
</script>
How can we make a form in a page doesn't submit on pressing Enter — rather. it does the same work as pressing a particular button or icon or image?
Here are the contents of my form:
<input type="text" id="txt" /><input type="button" value="search"
onclick="searchresult()" />
The problem is that if I press Enter, the form submits and text field clears itself but the function searchresult() doesn't show its effect. When only pressing the button, it works well.
HTML
<input type="text" id="txt"/>
<input type="button" value="search"/>
jQuery
$('input[type=text]').on('keyup', function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) { // 13 is keycode for enter
e.preventDefault();
}
})
You can also bind to submit() like following
$('form').submit(function(e) { // instead of only `form`,
// use with `id` or `class` combination
if(e.which == 13) {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
Remainder
Don't forget to place you code within
$(document).ready(function() {
// your code
});
in short
$(function() {
// your code
});
Alternatively, instead of disabling the enter key, you might be able to bind to the onsubmit event to perform any processing prior to submitting the form. From the MDN documentation:
The submit event is raised when the user clicks a submit button in a form ().
Try:
$('form').submit(function(event){
if(!$(':focus',this).is(':button'))
event.preventDefault();
});
This attaches to the form itself. If it was submitted any way other that clicking the submit button it halts the submission process. For better performance narrow down the 'form' selector.
Try this:
form
<form id="myForm">
<input type="text" id="txt" />
<input type="submit" value="search" />
</form>
js
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myForm").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
searchresult();
});
});
</script>
I have a text box and a button
<div class="TextField Large">
<input type="text" name="q" id="SearchBox" />
</div>
<div style="height: 40px; text-align: right; position: absolute; top: 0px; right: 0px;">
<input type="button" value="Search" class="Button" onclick="Search()" />
</div>
Basically you enter a text in the textbox and when you click on the Search button a JavaScript function Search() is called.
How can I add the possibility that when the user enters a text and press "Enter" on the keyboard the Search is executed?
First: Add a form (this should have a server side fallback for whatever the JavaScript does).
Second: Change the button to a submit button.
Third: Move the JavaScript to the form's submit event instead of the button's client event.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Search(){
alert("search!");
//search logic
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit="return Search()">
<input type="text" name="q" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
That's all
When your inputs are in a form enter should automatically submit the form,
otherwise:
$('your form').keyup(function(e) {
if(e.which == 13) $(this).submit();
});
I recommend you change your button to type="submit" though for that enter functionality to automatically work, then do your Search() code in a submit event handler
$('your form').submit(function() {
// your search code
}
$('#textbox').keypress(function(event){
var keycode = (event.keyCode ? event.keyCode : event.which);
if(keycode == '13'){
alert('You pressed a "enter" key in textbox');
}
});
Hopefully this will help you..
i have a form which has a button that submits the form. I need to do something before submits happen. I tried doing onClick on that button but it happens after the submit.
I can't share the code but, generally, what should I do in jQuery or JS to handle this?
If you have a form as such:
<form id="myform">
...
</form>
You can use the following jQuery code to do something before the form is submitted:
$('#myform').submit(function() {
// DO STUFF...
return true; // return false to cancel form action
});
Update; for newer JQuery versions (to avoid deprecation warnings), try:
$('#myform').on('submit', function() {
// ...
return true;
});
Assuming you have a form like this:
<form id="myForm" action="foo.php" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="submit form" />
</form>
You can attach a onsubmit-event with jQuery like this:
$('#myForm').submit(function() {
alert('Handler for .submit() called.');
return false;
});
If you return false the form won't be submitted after the function, if you return true or nothing it will submit as usual.
See the jQuery documentation for more info.
You can use onclick to run some JavaScript or jQuery code before submitting the form like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
beforeSubmit = function(){
if (1 == 1){
//your before submit logic
}
$("#formid").submit();
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="beforeSubmit();" />
make sure the submit button is not of type "submit", make it a button. Then use the onclick event to trigger some javascript. There you can do whatever you want before you actually post your data.
Form:
<form id="formId" action="/" method="POST" onsubmit="prepareForm()">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Javascript file:
function prepareForm(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// Do something you need
document.getElementById("formId").requestSubmit();
}
Note: If you're supporting Safari (which you probably are) you'll need to pull in a polyfill for requestSubmit()
