I have a button that executes a function:
$("#btnRemove").click(function () {
var name= $("#editAccountName").val();
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to mark " + "''" + name + "''" + " as innactive?")) {
saveAccount(false);
window.location.href = "/RxCard/Search";
}
alert (name + "was marked innactive.")
});
I need the alert to show after the user is redirected to "/Rxcard/Search"
what do i need to change in my code to get it working like that?
on a side note, how would do the same but with a CSS customized alert?
Thanks.
Instead of putting your alert in this code, you need to put it into the script behind Search page. Now you can add a url parameter and then in there check it and show the alert if that parameter is set:
if (confirm("Are you sure you want to mark " + "''" + name + "''" + " as innactive?")) {
saveAccount(false);
window.location.href = "/RxCard/Search?name=" + name;
}
And then add this somewhere (doesn't matter that much):
$.urlParam = function(name){
var results = new RegExp('[\?&]' + name + '=([^&#]*)').exec(window.location.href);
if (results==null){
return null;
}
else{
return results[1] || 0;
}
}
And at last this code goes into your search page code:
function() {
if($.urlParam('name') == true){
alert (name + "was marked innactive.");
}
}();
You cannot run an alert after the location.href has changed because it causes the browser to refresh. Once refreshed, your script is no longer running.
You would need to move your alert script into your search page and perhaps pass the name as a querystring arguement.
You could store the name value using localstorage. The value can be evaluated after the redirection so you can display the dialog with the stored value (if any)
You can't style your alert dialog but you can always create a modal dialog from scratch or by using a web framework / library.

I have a dropdown list on an update agent profile form where a user can select an item, referred to as a "master" in the database. However, if they select the item "Create New Master", they can enter a value in a blank text field and click a corresponding button. This updates the "Create New Master" value in the database to be whatever the value they entered is, and creates a new value in the database as the new "Create New Master" value. This also updates the agent table in the database to have the new master's ID saved to it, changing whatever the previous ID was. All of the database functionality works, and all the changes are made. However, I need to reload the form with the new values. How can I reload this? We use spring and hibernate, but I'm using Javascript for most of the functionality on this form page.
I've tried using window.location.reload(true), but this doesn't work. If the page kicks the user from the profile and then the user manually re-enters the profile of the same agent, the updated values show, but this is obviously less than ideal.
function addMaster(obj){
//Create lots of relevant variables that are used for the database update.
if(newName == null || newName == ""){
alert("You have to enter a new name to add it.");
}
else{
var jsonURL = '${urlBase}/addMaster/' + newName + '/' + updated + '/' + updateID + '/' + created + '/' + createID + '/' + create + '/' + agentID + '.json?jsoncallback=?';
var xhttp = jQuery.getJSON(jsonURL, function(obj, textStatus){
});
window.location.reload(true);
}
}
This calls to another file, which updates the database accordingly and correctly, but the reload doesn't change the new selection in the dropdown list. It shows the old one, even though checking the database shows that it has truly been updated. How can I make the current database values be reflected on the page without having to make the user leave the profile?
The method jQuery.getJSON is asynch so you reload the page before the call is completed. You should reload the page after that you request completed so you should do something like this:
function addMaster(obj){
//Create lots of relevant variables that are used for the database update.
if(newName == null || newName == ""){
alert("You have to enter a new name to add it.");
}
else{
var jsonURL = '${urlBase}/addMaster/' + newName + '/' + updated + '/' + updateID + '/' + created + '/' + createID + '/' + create + '/' + agentID + '.json?jsoncallback=?';
var xhttp = jQuery.getJSON(jsonURL, function(obj, textStatus){
//this is the success function.. asynch call is done
window.location.reload(true);
});
}
}
I'm trying to set a basic cookie. I've left the alert in so I can see if I'm successfully doing so. I want to store the end of the current url. For example, I want to store the MWFhUDfYpc9JYWmyapBDZvVYEz9rkMK6wSGZX4s. from http://www.example.com/index.php?cid=MWFhUDfYpc9JYWmyapBDZvVYEz9rkMK6wSGZX4s.
I've successfully set the cookie as the url on load, but can't get further.
<script type="text/javascript">
function WriteCookie()
{
cookievalue= window.location + ";";
document.cookie="name=" + cookievalue;
alert( cookievalue );
}
</script>
Your trying to activate the window.location which returns the entire path of the current page. This is fine, but it will load the entire string http://www.example.com/index.php?cid=MWFhUDfYpc9JYWmyapBDZvVYEz9rkMK6wSGZX4s rather than just MWFhUDfYpc9JYWmyapBDZvVYEz9rkMK6wSGZX4s. And finally, if your only storing 1 key in your cookie, you do not need a semi-colon at the end of the document.cookie string.
Example jsfiddle:
FIDDLE
Here is a revised code, with some error handling.
<script type="text/javascript">
WriteCookie();
function WriteCookie() {
try {
var splt = window.location.split("=");
document.cookie="name=" + splt[1];
alert(splt[1]);
} catch (err) {
txt = "Error Found\n\n";
txt += "Description: " + err.message + "\n\n";
txt += "Click OK to continue.\n\n";
alert(txt);
}
}
</script>
I have this survey that stores to local storage. The user is prompted 'are you sure' once clicking submit. I'm trying to navigate to a confirmation HTML page(Confirmation.html) in my directory after user clicks 'ok' . But I'm not able to achieve both storing values and navigating to work. Can get any one only, it seems. Any help would be appreciated.
function clicked() {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to submit? You will not be able to go back.')) {
form.submit();
} else {
return false;
}
}
$('form').submit(function () {
var person = $("#FirstName").val() + "." + $('#LastName').val();
$('input, select, textarea').each(function () {
var value = $(this).val(),
name = $(this).attr('name');
localStorage[person + "." + name] = value;
window.location.href = "Confirmation.html";
console.log('stored key: ' + name + ' stored value: ' + value);
});
});
<button type="submit" value="Save" id="Save" onclick="clicked();" >Submit Form</button>
If the above does not show my problem, here is the whole in jsfiddle
try this
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$('#Save').click(function (e) {
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to submit? You will not be able to go back.')) {
var person = $("#FirstName").val() + "." + $('#LastName').val();
$('input, select, textarea').each(function () {
var value = $(this).val(),
name = $(this).attr('name');
localStorage[person + "." + name] = value;
window.location.href = "Confirmation.html";
console.log('stored key: ' + name + ' stored value: ' + value);
});
}
});
});
</script>
and remove onclick="clicked();" from button.
I am not sure why you need the confirmation.html page. Consider my opinions as follows:
1st: you are already asking the user for the confirmation giving him a messagebox. Thereafter you should only submit the form data (after any additional validation) to a server-side page (which I believe you have mentioned in the action value of the form).
2nd: If you still need the confirmation.html page then you should redirect to confirmation.html from that server-side page but not from your form page(the current page). Now it depends on the usage of confirmation.html that you should redirect to confirmation.html before/after feeding the form data into the database(or doing something else).
I have a MVC3 action method with 3 parameters like this:
var url = "/Question/Insert?" + "_strTitle='" + title + "'&_strContent='" + content + "'&_listTags='" + listTags.toString() + "'";
and I want to call this by normal javascript function not AJAX (because it's not necessary to use AJAX function)
I tried to use this function but it didn't work:
window.location.assign(url);
It didn't jump to Insert action of QuestionController.
Is there someone would like to help me? Thanks a lot
This is more detail
I want to insert new Question to database, but I must get data from CKeditor, so I have to use this function below to get and validate data
// insert new question
$("#btnDangCauHoi").click(function () {
//validate input data
//chủ đề câu hỏi
var title = $("#txtTitle").val();
if (title == "") {
alert("bạn chưa nhập chủ đề câu hỏi");
return;
}
//nội dung câu hỏi
var content = GetContents();
content = "xyz";
if (content == "") {
alert("bạn chưa nhập nội dung câu hỏi");
return;
}
//danh sách Tag
var listTags = new Array();
var Tags = $("#list_tag").children();
if (Tags.length == 0) {
alert("bạn chưa chọn tag cho câu hỏi");
return;
}
for (var i = 0; i < Tags.length; i++) {
var id = Tags[i].id;
listTags[i] = id;
//var e = listTags[i];
}
var data = {
"_strTitle": title,
"_strContent": content,
"_listTags": listTags.toString()
};
// $.post(url, data, function (result) {
// alert(result);
// });
var url = "/Question/Insert?" + "_strTitle='" + title + "'&_strContent='" + content + "'&_listTags='" + listTags.toString() + "'";
window.location.assign(url); // I try to use this, and window.location also but they're not working
});
This URL call MVC action "Insert" below by POST method
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult Insert(string _strTitle, string _strContent, string _listTags)
{
try
{
//some code here
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//if some error come up
ViewBag.Message = ex.Message;
return View("Error");
}
// if insert new question success
return RedirectToAction("Index","Question");
}
If insert action success, it will redirect to index page where listing all question include new question is already inserted. If not, it will show error page. So, that's reason I don't use AJAX
Is there some one help me? Thanks :)
Try:
window.location = yourUrl;
Also, try and use Fiddler or some other similar tool to see whether the redirection takes place.
EDIT:
You action is expecting an HTTP POST method, but using window.location will cause GET method. That is the reason why your action is never called.
[HttpPost]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public ActionResult Insert(string _strTitle, string _strContent, string _listTags)
{
// Your code
}
Either change to HttpGet (which you should not) or use jQuery or other library that support Ajax in order to perform POST. You should not use GET method to update data. It will cause so many security problems for your that you would not know where to start with when tackling the problem.
Considering that you are already using jQuery, you might as well go all the way and use Ajax. Use $.post() method to perform HTTP POST operation.
Inside a callback function of the $.post() you can return false at the end in order to prevent redirection to Error or Index views.
$.post("your_url", function() {
// Do something
return false; // prevents redirection
});
That's about it.
You could try changing
var url = "/Question/Insert?" + "_strTitle='" + title + "'&_strContent='" + content + "'&_listTags='" + listTags.toString() + "'";
to
var url = "/Question/Insert?_strTitle=" + title + "&_strContent=" + content + "&_listTags=" + listTags.toString();
I've removed the single quotes as they're not required.
Without seeing your php code though it's not easy to work out where the problem is.
When you say "It didn't jump to Insert action of QuestionController." do you mean that the browser didn't load that page or that when the url was loaded it didn't route to the expected controller/action?
You could use an iframe if you want to avoid using AJAX, but I would recommend using AJAX
<iframe src="" id="loader"></iframe>
<script>
document.getElementById("loader").src = url;
</script>
Very new to JQuery AJAX here. I have been looking around for a answer for awhile on this and can't find an answer.
I have a form that users would fill out. Once filled click on submit. This starts an ajax call to an asp page and basically just displays the information that was entered and fades out the user form. A confirm button below that takes the user to another .asp page that puts it into a database and gives them a ticket number.
My issue is that on the second call ( page that does the input ) , I notice in firebug that the get is happening twice. If I try the asp page alone it is only doing the input once so it's not my sql code. If I switch the second .asp page with the first it works fine.
Here is my jquery. I appreciate any comments. Thanks

First off, a better way to verify if a field is filled in is to use jQuery $.trim(), it will trim all white space in the beginning and end so if someone enters a bunch of spaces, it will return false still. This is how you would do it:
if ($.trim(firstname.val())) {
firstname.addClass('fn_error');
firstname.focus();
return false;
}
This is a much better way to verify if it is empty, but an even better idea is to use the jQuery Validation plugin, in which you can simple put class="required", class="required email", etc. for each rule (they can also be defined in the javascript if you prefer).
Also, I see that you keep using .load. Did you know a thing called $.get exists? It is a little more powerful way to send a get request and you don't have to load it into an element to make it work (there's also $.post). I used to use .load myself all the time a while back until I discovered $.get and $.post. This is an example with your code:
$.get('../resources/confirm_ticket.asp', dataString, function(data) { // data is what is returned from the request (html, etc.)
$('#generateform').fadeIn('slow');
$('#submit').unbind('click');
});
Anyway, now to your question.
I don't see any problems of why it would be doing that, but it could be a bug with the browser or something (usually not but this happened to me before too and I never found out how to fix it). Have you tried it in other browsers like Google Chrome or Safari?
I got the answer from a forum today. Can't remember where but the answer is....
$('#testdiv, #generateform').fadeOut('slow', function() {
$('#message').load('../resources/generate_ticket.asp', function() {
$('#message').fadeIn('slow');
});
I have 2 selectors in the fadeOut. It was calling the load function twice for each selector. Changed it and now I'm only getting the one GET request. Thanks for the help though all! :) Happy Coding!
