Problem with recaptcha3 for .NET MVC website

I'm quite new in web development, have only couple of weeks of experience.
Currently working on C# website and can't get ReCaptchaV3 to work.
I have a subscribe form that shows up as a modal when user clicks on a "subscribe" button on the bulletin page.
In the form I have hidden input field: <input type="hidden" name="Google-captcha-token" id="GoogleCaptchaToken">
It generates the token when "Sign Up" button of the form is clicked.
My problem is - how to I get a hold of that value on the backend in C#? and then send it to google for verification? I also need to check if value I got from Google is within needed range and everything is good continue submitting the form.
This is where I stuck. I understand that I need to catch that value and work with it in the controller, but don't know how to do that.
Hope someone can help me out on this one.
This is how the code in the controller looks
public class BulletinController : _SharedController {
public ActionResult Index(int p = 0) {
var perPage = 10;
if (p < 1) {
p = 1;
}
var starting = (p * perPage) - perPage;
if (starting < 0) {
starting = 0;
}
var token = HttpContext.Request.Form["Google-captcha-token"];
var ns = new NewsServices();
var newsArticles = ns.GetNewsArticles(starting, perPage);
var count = ns.GetNewsArticlesCount();
ViewBag.Paging = Pagination.Generate(count, starting, perPage);
return View(newsArticles);
}
public ActionResult Details(int id) {
var article = new NewsServices().GetNewsArticleByID(id);
if (article == null) {
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View(article);
}
}
I watched a lot of videos on how it should be done, but none of them worked.
It seems to be a problem that view of the page is already using a model and that model is autogenerated. So looks like I can't use another model. Current model is also a list model (not sure what that exactly means though).
The other thing is that submission of the form is not going through the back-end and done through the constantcontact JavaScript sign up script.
Hope somebody will be able to help. Thanks.

How to assign a string value to buttons on click event using GTM custom javascript variable

I’ve got a website with three buttons with the same button text, class (.action-button) etc. The click URL:s are different, but they will change on a regular basis so I think I’ll have to target them using CSS selector. I would like to be able to identify, and give each of these buttons a string as value if clicked. The purpose is to send the value to GA via a UA event tag, but I don’t want to hardcode it.
I’m not quite sure how to approach this (I’m a js beginner). I’ve written a script that I put in a custom javascript variable. Unfortunately, it isn’t working. When I try it out in the debug mode the variable gets ’undefined’ as both return type and value. Does anyone know what’s wrong with my script? Or if I could achieve the same result in a different, simpler way?
I have set up regular click triggers for each of the buttons using .spotlight-coll-one-big-two-small-img-below .spotlight:nth-child(1, 2 or 3) .action-button, and those work just fine.
Using document.querySelectorAll('.spotlight-coll-one-big-two-small-img-below .action-button') gives me a NodeList with the three buttons I want to target.
function() {
var theSpotlight = document.querySelectorAll('.spotlight-coll-one-big-two-small-img-below .action-button');
if (theSpotlight.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < theSpotlight.length; i++) {
theSpotlight[i].addEventListener('click', function () {
if (theSpotlight[i] = 0) {
return 'Spotlight 1'
} else if (theSpotlight[i] = 1) {
return 'Spotlight 2'
} else if (theSpotlight[i] = 2) {
return 'Spotlight 3'
} else {
return 'n/a'
}
})
}
}
}
PS. I cannot access the code at this point.
Thanks a lot,
Daniel

Try this instead.
Add click handler JavaScript to page
This has to be added on your website, and not as a custom JS variable in GTM
function() {
var theSpotlight = document.querySelectorAll('.spotlight-coll-one-big-two-small-img-below .action-button');
var spotLightLabels = ['Spotlight 1', 'Spotlight 2', 'Spotlight 3'];
if (theSpotlight.length > 0) {
for (var i = 0; i < theSpotlight.length; i++) {
theSpotlight[i].addEventListener('click', function () {
window.dataLayer.push({'spotlightLabel': spotlightLabels[i]});
});
}
}
}
In GTM
Create a dataLayer variable that reads the value of spotlightLabel
Use that dataLayer variable wherever you need the text label of the last spotlight link clicked

How do I use session variables with jQuery?

I have a button on one page another button on a different page. This second button has the text in it "0 items selected". When the first button is clicked I want to increase the number in the second button by one.
Seeing it is transferring data over different pages I didn't manage to do it the standard way.
Please do not suggest PHP, I am unable to use it.
var yetVisited = localStorage[0];
if ($('.#CallToActionCustomise').click()){
localStorage++;
}
$('.#CallToActionCustomise').click(function(){
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").append(localStorage);
});
<button class="Main_MenuButtonReview">0 items selected <i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button>

You need to access localStorage as if it were an Object, not an array.
Also, you can only store String values, so to get a number to perform math on, you will need to use parseInt.
localStorage.setItem('yetVisited', 0);
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").text(localStorage.yetVisited + ' items selected');
$('.CallToActionCustomise').click(function()){
localStorage.yetVisited = parseInt(localStorage.yetVisited) + 1;
$(".Main_MenuButtonReview").text(localStorage.yetVisited + ' items selected');
}
Here's an example.

In addition to the above answer, I think you need to init some tag when it loaded.
Put this code on another page.
$(document).ready(function() {
if (typeof localStorage.yetVisited === 'undefined') {
localStorage.setItem('yetVisited', 0);
}
yetVisited = localStorage.yetVisited;
$('.Main_MenuButtonReview').text(yetVisited + ' items selected');
});
$(document).ready(function() {
// this area means after your page(document) ready completely.
});

Using a Combobox to fill in a Text Field in Scribus

I'm building a PDF in Scribus and stumbling through javascript (basic newbie here) as I go. I've ran into an issue and I can't seem to find a good answer.
I have a combobox called productType where a user selects a product. Once they do that I want a text field called mortClause to display the proper clause. I've placed the following code under the combobox's Action -> On Blur -> Javascript.
Here is what I have that is not working:
var ckSelect = this.getField("productType");
var ckResult = this.getField("mortClause");
if (ckSelect.value === "VA") {
mortClause.value = 'VA Clause';
} else if (ckSelect.value === "FHA") {
mortClause.value = 'FHA Clause';
} else {
mortClause.value = 'Normal Clause';
}

"mortClause" is not the name of your variable, its ckResult.
If you change
mortClause.value = 'VA Clause';
to
ckResult.value = 'VA Clause';
you get the expected behaviour.
But you probably already know that. or gave up, after 3 years.

jQuery - remove li from array with delete image

I'm attempting to make a menu bar that can have <li> elements added and removed. So far so good, but when I try and remove them I'm running into issues. I've toyed with this for a couple hours and now I'm wondering if this whole process could just be made easier (maybe an object?).
Anyways, here's the full code (80 lines), with comments to follow along.
var tabs = $('.accountSelectNav');
var titles = [];
var listItems = [];
// when the page loads check if tabs need to be added to the ul (menu bar)
$(document).ready(function(e) {
if ($.cookie('listItems') != null) {
console.log('not null');
//return "listItems" to it's array form.
listItems = JSON.parse($.cookie('listItems'));
$('.accountSelectNav').append(listItems);
}
});
$('.selectTable td:first-child').on('click', function(e) {
$('#home_select').removeClass('navHighlight');
//grab the text value of this cell
title = $(this).text();
$.ajax({
url:'core/functions/getAccountId.php',
type: 'post',
data: {'title' : title}
}).fail (function() {
alert('error');
}).done(function(data) {
accountId = $.trim(data);
// store values in the cookie
$.cookie('account_id', accountId, {expires : 7});
$.cookie('title', title, {expires : 7});
window.location = ('home_table.php');
});
// make sure the value is NOT currently in the array. Then add it
var found = jQuery.inArray(title, titles);
if (found == -1) {
titles.push(title);
addTab();
}
// make sure the value is NOT currently in the array. Then add it
found = jQuery.inArray(title, listItems);
if (found == -1) {
addListItem();
//place <li>'s in cookie so they may be used on multiple pages
$.cookie('listItems', JSON.stringify(listItems));
};
});
$("body").on("click", ".deleteImage", function (e) {
var removeTitle = $(this).closest('li').find('a').text();
var removeItem = $(this).closest('li')[0].outerHTML;
//remove title from "titles" array
titles = jQuery.grep(titles, function (value) {
return value != removeTitle;
});
//remove <li> from "listItems" array
listItems = jQuery.grep(listItems, function (value) {
return value != removeItem;
});
// this shows the <li> is still in the listItemsarray
console.log(listItems);
// put the array back in the cookie
$.cookie('listItems', JSON.stringify(listItems));
removeTab(this);
});
$("body").on("mouseover", ".accountSelectNav li", function(e) {
$(this).find('.deleteImage').show();
});
$("body").on("mouseleave", ".accountSelectNav li", function(e) {
$(this).find('.deleteImage').hide();
});
function addTab() {
tabs.append('<li class="navHighlight">' + '' + title + '' + '' + '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>' + '' + '</li>');
};
function removeTab(del) {
$(del).closest('li').remove();
}
function addListItem() {
var s = ('<li class="navHighlight">' + '' + title + '' + '' + '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>' + '' + '</li>');
listItems.push(s);
}
So you see I have two arrays of equal length that should always be the same length. One stores the title to be displayed in the tab, the other holds the html for the <li> which will be appended to the <ul>. I have no problem removing the title from its array. However removing the <li> from it's array is becoming a rather big hassle. You see when I get the <li> element after its been inflated the html inside does not exactly match what was put in, the browser adds style elements.
Example, the variable "removeItem" represents the html value of the selected <li> I wish to remove. It looks like this:
<li class="navHighlight">Test1<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage" style="display: inline;"></li>
yet the value in my array "listItems" looks like this:
<li class="navHighlight">Test1<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/></li>
So my attempt at removing it from my array always fails because they aren't a perfect match.
Now my question is how do I remove this <li> item? Also is there an easier way to do this whole process and I'm just not seeing it?
Thanks for your time.
EDIT
Fiddle by request here
Easiest way I can explain it.
Click the link to the fiddle.
Click any cell in the "App Name" column
This will add a <li> to the <ul> (menu) above of the table
When you hover over the <li> a picture appears
Click the picture
This should remove the <li>, both from the <ul> and from the array listItems
right now it does not

In the process of making this easier to check, I've taken your JSFiddle and did the following:
removed extra console.log and comments
removed interaction with cookies (since I did not have them in the first place, I figured they wouldn't just the first scenario)
After doing so I reached a point (you can see it here) where the desired functionality just works.
I even went ahead and removed the ajax stuff because that alert was driving me crazy. (here)
Since this works fine, my guess is that your issue lies between the lines that I removed.
Your usage of cookies is as follows:
To load existing tabs and add them back again
To save account_id and title, which is not used back again
To persist the listItems after a new item has been added
I then opened up the console with your version of the fiddle and the execution of javascript stops at $.cookie() with the error undefined is not a function.
This clearly indicates that the issue present in the Fiddle is that jQuery.cookie is not present and so those calls are halting the execution of the rest of your script. This also explains why it just started working when I took them out.
I posted the whole process of how I got there to indicate how I trimmed down the problem to specific parts, which is useful to reduce the problem space. When you're out of options and reach a place when you're lost, it's easier to post a question with less code and the specific part of the problem that you've identified. This will help you in finding the issues that you're facing and StackOverflow to provide proper answers to your questions.
Hope it helps!

Here is the solution I came up with. It should be much easier for people to understand than my original post. Although it's a long read it may be worth it, especially for new developers.
The point of this code is to make a menu bar out of an un-ordered list or <ul>. The menu bar needs to be used on multiple pages. So I'll be using cookies.
I start with this code to get a text value from my table.:
$('.selectTable td:first-child').on('click', function(e) {
// This value will be used later for the name of the tab or `<li>` inside our menu bar or `<ul>`
title = $(this).text();
});
Then I place the value in an array. I do this only if the array does not already have this string inside it. I do not want duplicates:
var found = jQuery.inArray(title, titles);
var titles = [];
if (found == -1) {
titles.push(title);
}
Then I store the array into a cookie, using a library like this:
$.cookie('titles', JSON.stringify(titles));
Now when any page loads that needs this menu bar I run this code to check if there are any values:
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($.cookie('titles') != null) {
titles = JSON.parse($.cookie('titles'));
}
});
Now I need to loop through the array. When I loop through the array I have to do 3 things:
1) Grab the string value.
2) Add the html to my new string so it becomes a list item or <li>.
3) Append the newly created <li> to our <ul>.
Like so:
for(var i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
var str = titles[i];
var listItem = '<li class="navHighlight">'
+ '<a href="#">'
+ str
+ '</a>'
+ '<a href="#">'
+ '<img src="images/delete.png" class="deleteImage"/>'
+ '</a>'
+ '</li>';
$('.accountSelectNav').append(listItem);
}
Now, if I want to remove this <li> I click the delete image found inside our <li>. What delete image you say? Look at the html I added again. You will see I add an <img> tag in there.
Now delete like so:
$("body").on("click", ".deleteImage", function (e) {
// grabs the text value of my li, which I want to remove
var removeTitle = $(this).closest('li').find('a').text();
// runs through my titles array and returns an array without the value above
titles = jQuery.grep(titles, function (value) {
return value != removeTitle;
});
});
Then I simply place the new array inside my cookie once again. Like this:
$.cookie('titles', JSON.stringify(titles));
And finally I remove the tab like this:
removeTab(this);
function removeTab(del) {
$(del).closest('li').remove();
}
Yay, I'm done. So now, if anyone has a more elegant way of accomplishing this I'm listening. I have no doubt there's a better way, javascript/jQuery isn't even close to my strong point.
