<button id="Submit" onclick= "write_task_content()"> Submit.</button>
I have this code written on my page for submit button. write_task_content() function is writing the activity of users into the file. I need to redirect to another page which is in another directory when same submit button being clicked.
for example:
Current path C:\xampp\htdocs\CC_real task\3GBCJUK5B10I32J9O2EJNNQ339GPKH.html where Submit is written. where write_task_content() function needs to be executed to save user activity and with the same button redirect to another page in the same window browser C:\xampp\htdocs\IA_real task\3RKALKFQG14FDCEAT1S123EW94A792.
How could I do that?
First create your submit button:
<form action="destination-page.html">
<input type="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Then, in the <script>...</script>, attach an onsubmit event to the form either using javascript or jquery:
Javascript:
var form = document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0];
form.addEventListener('submit',write_task_content,false);
jQuery:
$(document).ready(
$('form').submit(write_task_content);
);
When the submit button is clicked, write_task_content() will execute first and then the browser will request destination-page.html.
After saving the details use
window.location = "http://www.example.com";
This redirects to another location.

I'm working with an embedded app on our dev site and when I click the submit button inside the iframe, I am triggering a manual submission event on another form (not in an iframe) on that page. If I manually click the submit button for the form, my data posts and everything works correctly. However, I want to eliminate an extra user click and submit the external form automatically when a user submits the other form inside the iframe.
I've got everything working correctly on a base level. When a user clicks the submit button in the iframe, I am using JQuery to grab values from inside the iframe and set values in this external form. Using the jquery 'submit()' event, I am then able to submit that external form. The problem is, the page refreshes and the data doesn't go anywhere. If I remove the 'submit()' event and manually click the submit button, the form posts and in this case, adds a product with custom data to the product cart.
As a proof of concept, this is my 'iframed' HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>Proof of Concept</h1>
<p>Total cost: $<span id="cust_price">222.22</span> plus shipping.</p>
<p>Quote number: <span id="quot_num">1546751962211</p>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="newQuoteForm">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="new-app-btn">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
Here is my on-page form that is OUTSIDE the iFrame.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="outer-quote-form" action="/checkout/">
<label class="quote_number">Quote Number:
<input type="text" id="quote_number" name="quote_number" value="">
</label>
<label class="custom_price">price:
<input type="text" id="custom_price" name="custom_price" value="">
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="ws-add-to-cart">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
Then, I have JQuery working to grab the iframed values and puts them in the exterior form. Afterwards, it fires a 'submit()' event on that form.
<script>
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').load(function() {
var iFrameDOM = jQuery("iframe#newQuoteApp").contents();
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#newQuoteForm').submit(function() {
jQuery("input#custom_price").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#cust_price').text()); // updated
jQuery("input#quote_number").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#quot_num').text());
jQuery("#outer-quote-form").submit();
return true; //return false prevents submit
});
});
</script>
Except when the jquery submit() event fires, the form appears to submit and the page refreshes but no data is posting as it does when I manually submit the form. Is there an extra step here or a better way to fire the form submit with post data?
Edit: Adding the PHP function that isn't firing on jquery submit() for context.
if (isset($_POST['ws-add-to-cart'])) {
add_action( 'init', 'add_product_to_cart' );
function add_product_to_cart() {
global $woocommerce;
global $product;
$product_id = 138;
$woocommerce->cart->add_to_cart($product_id);
}
header("Location:https://www.devsite.com/checkout/");
}
The reason for the form not submitting because you are submitting the whole form without the submit button which is <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="ws-add-to-cart">Add to Cart</button> which you have declared in php to get a post request like this
if (isset($_POST['ws-add-to-cart'])) {...
When you call submit(); on the form via the get method, you see '/new-quote/?quote_number=1546751962211&custom_price=222.22'
but where's ws-add-to-cart, it's not submitting and that's the reason why php isn't getting your request
The fix will be to add .click() on the submit button instead of submitting the form
<script>
function enterVals($val){
var price = $val.price;
document.getElementById("quote_number").value = $val.num
document.getElementById("custom_price").value = $val.price
document.getElementsByName("ws-add-to-cart").click();
}
</script>
Or in your script in case you want to use jquery, this is the fix
<script>
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').load(function() {
var iFrameDOM = jQuery("iframe#newQuoteApp").contents();
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#newQuoteForm').submit(function() {
jQuery("input#custom_price").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#cust_price').text()); // updated
jQuery("input#quote_number").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#quot_num').text());
jQuery("button[name=ws-add-to-cart]").click();
return true; //return false prevents submit
});
});
</script>
This is definitely the answer and sorry for my stupidity, i didn't pay required attention before
try removing return true from your js code
if that doesn't work, try changing the <form method="POST" to <form method="GET" to debug the values in the url just for checking that the form actually fires up with values
Alternative method: Old school method
code for page OUTSIDE the Iframe
<script>
function enterVals($val){
var price = $val.price;
document.getElementById("quote_number").value = $val.num
document.getElementById("custom_price").value = $val.price
document.getElementById("outer-quote-form").submit();
}
</script>
code for the Iframe file
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#newQuoteForm').on('submit', function(event) {
var Page = window.parent;
var allVals = {
price:$('#cust_price').text(),
num:$('#quot_num').text()
}
Page.enterVals(allVals);
event.preventDefault();
});
</script>
Explanation
window.parent refers to the parent window where the iframe is loaded on, with reference to this we can trigger functions that are in the parent window so by this, we created a variable and added the information which is sent by the function enterVals() to the window
The enterVals() function just puts the values and submits the form without any jQuery.
What is the proper way to submit a form with JS?
This might not be the 'best' way to submit a form with js but is cross-browser which is good
I have a web-form written in ASp.Net MVC5 which is used to gather some details from the user. However, before I get them to submit the form, I want them to have the option to look at another web-page (in a new window or tab) which gives them more information if they need it prior to submitting the page. To that end, on the web-form, I have a form with the following buttons:
<form action="/Application/MyAction" method="post" id="myForm">
// various fields ...
<button onclick="getMoreInfo()">More Information</button>
<button type="button">Submit Form</button>
</form>
Then, at the bottom of the page I have the following javascript defined:
<script>
function getMoreInfo()
{
var urlToUse = 'http://some-other-page.html';
window.open(urlToUse);
return false; // trying to stop the form submission from occurring
}
</script>
My problem is that when this "More Information" button is clicked, it has the effect of submitting the form [which I don't want to do yet] - since there is a separate submit button for doing that task. Is there a way to use a button to jump to another page without actually submitting the current form?
thanks heaps,
David.
I found that answer #3 at this question helped me:
How do I cancel form submission in submit button onclick event?
My solution was to change the code thus:
I changed the button code to look like this:
<form action="/Application/MyAction" method="post" id="myForm">
// various fields ...
<button id="moreInformationButton" >More Information</button>
<button type="button">Submit Form</button>
</form>
And then I changed the javascript to look like this:
$("#moreInformationButton").click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault(); // This stops the submit form being triggered
var urlToUse = 'http://some-other-page.html';
window.open(urlToUse); // open the help page
});
This allowed me to open up another window or tab with more information without actually submitting the form.
I have a button example below
<button id="startrunning">go</button>
There is no form or anything I'm using on the same page java script to detect it's click. It will work like I want it to when I click it. I want to see when the page is loaded it will automatically submit it's self is there a way?
Thank you
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/QEu84/10/
<script type="text/javascript">
function submit()
{
document.getElementById("startrunning").click(); // Simulates button click
document.submitForm.submit(); // Submits the form without the button
}
</script>
<body onload="submit()">
<form id="submitForm">
<button id="startrunning">go</button>
</form>
</body>
You can automatically click it when the page loads, using the code below, but you need a form to submit something (you submit a form, not a button)
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('startrunning').click();">
I have a login form. No doubt it accepts username / password. And I have 2 buttons, submit button and a cancel button.
What I want to do is when user clicks on submit button, login request starts processing. User can see the login screen for 8-10 seconds. When he clicks on cancel button that should allow him to cancel form submission (cancel login).
Please let me know how to do this. I know there can be a js function but I haven't encountered any. Thanks a lot in advance!
Have you tried :
function cancel () {
document.execCommand('Stop')
}
<input type = "button" name="cancel" value = "cancel" onclick = "cancel()" />
When user sends the login request, the request and authentication must be handled by some server side script like php. So, put a link on the cancel button to another server side script. This script should try to logout the user. If he has already logged in, he will log out so the cancel works. In other case, if he hasn't than nothing happens, the script ends doing nothing.
here is simple example with this you can create your own
html code
<form name="f1" action="test.jsp" method="get">
username:<input type="text" name="username">
password:<input type="password" name='password'>
<input id="sub" type="submit" name="subm" value="subm">
<input id="reset" type="button" name="reset" value="reset">
</form>
and jquery code
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#sub').click(function(){
$('form [name="f1"]').submit();
});
$('#reset').click(function(){
$('input[name="username"]').val('');
$('input[name="password"]').val('');
});
});
this is just a reference and you can modify and create accordingly with your requirements
My suggestion:
"cancel" button is hidden at first.
When "login" button is clicked, send a login request, hide or disable "login" button, and show "canccel" button. then setup a default handler for normal login procedures:
$.post('login', params, function(){handler.loginCallback()});
When "cancel" button is clicked, replace the handler with another procedure:
handler.loginCallback = function() { ... }
If login failed, do nothing; If login succeeded, send another logout request.
I have a main page that contains two buttons. Each of the buttons should redirect to the same page, however, the page that you are redirected to should do different things depending on the button you pressed. How can I redirect the user to that new page and pass in an argument depending on which button you have clicked?
Cross-browser event handling is much simpler with a toolkit like JQuery:
HTML:
<button data-param="foo">Foo</button>
<button data-param="bar">Bar</button>
JQuery code:
$('button').click(function(){
window.location = window.location.href + '?param=' + $(this).data('param');
});
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/6DK5J/
It depends what you mean by 'pass in an argument' but if you mean by URL query string then you can simply set up a form with an action to the page in question with a GET method:
<form action="page.html" method="GET">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Submit1" />
<input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Submit2" />
</form>
The redirected URL will be page.html?submit1=Submit1 if the first button is clicked and page.html?submit2=Submit2 if the second button is clicked.
