I know that this might seem like a duplicate, but i can't seem to figure this out. I am wanting to submit a form in HTML to a Popup window. when i hit the submit button, it returns a blank page. I want the pop up to display all of the input that one filled out one the form. I want to do it in JavaScript. This is my code here. I want it to output all of the information entered in the form, from the Personal Information fieldset and the personal choices fieldset. I want it to display as an unordered list.
Heres the Javascript that i have so far:
<head>
<title>My Form</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function display() {
dispWin = window.open('','NewWin',
'toolbar=no,status=no,width=300,height=200')
message = "<ul><li>First Name:" +
document.mdForm.first_name.value;
message += "<li>Last Name:" +
document.mdForm.the_lastname.value;
message += "<li>Address:" +
document.mdForm.the_address.value;
message += "</ul>";
dispWin.document.write(message);
}
</script>
Heres the HTML:
<body>

Have you prevented the default submit functionality?
Try:
function display(e) {
//To stop the submit
e.preventDefault();
...
Do your Stuff
...
//Continue the submit
FORM.submit();
}

Im trying to learn form validation and I cannot figure out what is going on here. I am following a W3Schools tutorial and the validate form function is giving an error but it is not doing that on their example.
I tried copy and pasting the example into my project and just changing the property name and it still gives an error.
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["contact"]["yourName"].value;
if (x == "") {
alert("Please Enter Your Name");
return false;
}
}
<form name="contact" onsubmit="validateForm()">
<label for="cakeName">Cake name:</label>
<select required name="cakes" id="cakes">
<option value="placeholder">--- Select cake ---</option>
<option value="cakeOne">Coconut Bundt Cake</option>
<option value="cakeTwo">Cream Cheese Pound Cake</option>
<option value="cakeThree">German Chocolate Cake</option>
<option value="cakeFour">Classic Yellow Cake</option>
</select>
<br>
<label for="yourName">Your name:</label>
<input name="name" type="text">

Issues with your code:
The field name was wrong.
You need to prevent your from default behavior which is reload or redirect to process it's data before submiting.
function validateForm(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // You didn't stop the subminssion default behavior
let x = document.forms["contact"]["yourName"].value;
if (x == "") {
alert("Please Enter Your Name");
return false;
}
}
<form name="contact" onsubmit="validateForm(event)">
<label for="yourName">Your name:</label>
<!-- You used a wrong name -->
<input name="yourName" type="text">
<button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="bar">Order Now</button>
</form>
How we handle forms these days
const form = document.querySelector('#contact-form');
form.addEventListener('submit', (ev)=>{
// Stop the form submission from reloading or redirecting
ev.preventDefault();
let yourName = document.querySelector('#your-name').value;
if(yourName === ""){
alert("Please Enter Your Name");
return;
}
// Post the form with Fetch API or Axios ...
});
<form id="contact-form">
<label for="yourName">Your name:</label>
<input name="yourName" id="your-name" type="text">
<button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="bar">Order Now</button>
</form>
I don't know if this will solve your problem (what was the error?) but the following line:
<input name="name" type="text">
Should be:
<input name="yourName" type="text">
For one of my classes we're using JQuery validation. I'm trying to get the answers to populate next to the corresponding text on the bottom that's listed (name, age, date,etc..) on the document below after the user inputs the info in the text box.
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#input").validate();
$("#input").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); //Prevents from submitting (which is the default action)
if (!$("#input").valid()) {
return false;
} else {
$("#result").append($("#name").val() + "<br>" + "Your name is");
}
});
});

I'm trying to make a simple drop down menu which will have two elements: "male" and "female". I'm using a button to have these elements become visible. The problem is that they become visible but only for a fraction of a second and go back to being hidden.
Here's my code:
<html>
<head>
<title>
Validation Form
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
Validation Form
</h1>
<form id="contactForm" action="" >
<fieldset>
<legend>Validation</legend>
<p>
<label for="firstname">First Name</label>
<input id="firstname" name="firstname" type="text"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="lastname">Last Name</label>
<input id="lastname" name="lastname" type="text" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="gender">Gender</label>
<input id="gender" name="gender" type="text" />
</p>
<div class="dropdown">
<button id="btn_drop" onclick="myFunction()" class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
<div id="myDropdown" style="display: none">
<p id="drop_male">Male</p>
<p id="drop_female">Female</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>
<label for="website">Website</label>
<input id="website" name="website" type="text" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="button" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="reset" value="clear" />
</p>
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
var dropBtn = document.getElementById("btn_drop");
dropBtn.onclick = function () {
// show all elements on clicking submit!
var drop = document.getElementById("myDropdown");
drop.style.display = 'block';
}
</script>

Look at you browser console. I assume you have an error because you didn't declare myFunction.
Please read this URL: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onclick.asp and use one of described approaches.
you can make this without javascript live fiddle with css
<p>
<label for="gender">Gender</label>
<select id="gender" name="gender" type='select' >
<option value="">Select Gender</option>
<option value="male">Male</option>
<option value="female">Female</option>
</select>

I'm trying to do a homework assignment and having some issues. I'm supposed to validate a form with Javascript. Right now I'm trying to make sure that a user has checked at least one checkbox (out of four options) in order for the form to submit. (I've gotten other segments of validation to work, so the issue seems to be local to this part of code.)
This is what the html for the checkbox form looks like:
<fieldset>
<input type="checkbox" name="boxes" id="member" value="member" />
<label for="member">I'm a member.</label>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="boxes" id="newsletter" value="newsletter" />
<label for="newsletter">Please send me your monthly newsletter.</label></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="boxes" id="preshow" value="preshow" />
<label for="preshow">I'm interested in hearing about pre-show events.</label></p>
<p><input type="checkbox" name="boxes" id ="none" value="none" />
<label for="none">None of the above.</label></p>
And this is what I've written to try to validate it using Javascript:
function validateForm() {
var checkBoxes = document.getElementsByName("boxes");
for (var i=0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++) {
if (checkBoxes[i].checked === true) {
return true;
break;
} else {
alert("At least one checkbox must be selected.");
return false;
}
}
}
This isn't working; the form submits whether boxes have been checked or not.
I would really love to get some help here because I don't have any idea what I'm doing wrong. Like I said, the problem seems to exist somewhere in this specific code, because other validation in separate blocks of code does work.

I have a simple form which has has to be accessible. If someone misses a mandatory field, the a error should show on the top of the page where I placed a div tag. Now, after I click the submit button, it should show an error message on the top of page and then have a focus so that the screen reader can read it without refreshing the page. I am just not being able to focus on that error. Any suggestion would be really appreciated.
Thanks

function getfocus() {

getfocus();

You are looking for window.scrollTo(). You can get the location of the errors div with this:
document.getElementById('errors').offsetTop
