Angular js model value changes are not reflected in ui - javascript

Values in the UI doesn't change even after executing the code in controller.
It displays the initial values with out a problem.
I've tried calling $scope.$apply() at the end of each function (submit and transfer) but it didn't work(it only gave an error with the $http.post()). What am i missing here?
app.controller('RegisterController', ['$scope','$http', function($scope,$http) {
$scope.user = {
email: 'admin#blah.com',
password1: '1qaz2wsx',
password2:'1qaz2wsx',
password:'1qaz2wsx',
username:'Admin',
profile_picture:'',
dobDay:'12',
dobMonth:'12',
dobYear:'1993',
date_of_birth:'',
stateMessage:'',
messageColor:'white',
};
var transfer = function(){
$http.post('http://localhost/cw/index.php/rest/resource/user/action/create',$scope.user).then(function successCallback(response) {
if(response.data.status!=null){
if(response.data.status=='success'){
$scope.user.stateMessage = 'success';
$scope.user.messageColor = "green";
}
else if(response.data.status=='failure'){
$scope.user.stateMessage = response.data.message;
$scope.user.messageColor = "red";
}
}
},function errorCallback(response) {
$scope.user.stateMessage = "Error occured.";
$scope.user.messageColor = "red";
});
};
$scope.submit = function(){
$scope.user.stateMessage="";
$scope.user.messageColor="white";
var proceed = true;
if(!validateFields()){
$scope.user.stateMessage = "All fields must be filled!";
$scope.user.messageColor = "red";
proceed = false;
}
if(validateDate($scope.user.dobDay,$scope.user.dobMonth,$scope.user.dobYear)){
$scope.user.date_of_birth= $scope.user.dobYear+"-"+$scope.user.dobMonth+"-"+$scope.user.dobDay;
}else {
proceed = false;
$scope.user.stateMessage = "Date is invalid!";

It seems like i cannot use the same controller in 2 instances.
Moving the status div in to the table assigned with the controller worked for me. There are ways to share data between controllers by using a service but i won't go there since this is only for a coursework.
AngularJS: share the data of the same controller in two different, not nested parts of the page

Form action attribute not working with js script [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Submit form after calling e.preventDefault()
(11 answers)
Closed 11 months ago.
I wrote a simple register form with an action attribute on HTML that when the user fills the inputs
it sends them to my database. Everything works fine until I added a validation script using Javascript. The script works fine with my parameters but when I press the submit button the form doesnt execute the action attribute. One way I thought around this is make a simpler script inside my HTML but I'd prefer to keep it on a separate file.
HTML:
<script defer src = "validation.js">

It won't submit the form due to this line:
e.preventDefault();
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault
My suggestion is you resubmit the form after your validation logic has run providing the form is valid.
You're preventing the default action of the browser to submit the post request to the given route.
Try removing the "e.preventDefault" from the script.js. That should send the data to the route

Javascript submit function returns Object is not a function error

Am using this function for the form submission just after one last check of 2 fields. But when submitting the form using javascript it returns the Object is not a function error. Didnt pasted the entire code of this page. pasted the required fields for this function. Any helps appreciated

JavaScript checking & adding text to a table dynamically on submit button click

Basically my HTML looks like this:
<form method="post" name="htmlform" onsubmit = "checkFields()">
<table style="width: 479px;" border="30" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="10">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><span id="firstNameSpan" >First Name *</span></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name"
size="30" maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><span id = "lastNameSpan" >Last Name *</span></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text" name="last_name" size="30" maxlength="50"/>
/td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" colspan="2"><input type="radio" name="sex"
value="male" /> Male <input type="radio" name="sex"
value="female" /> Female</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;" colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="submit"
/></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
When the form is submitted, the onsubmit() event checks if first_name textfield is blank, if it is then the label or span to its left is appended to output "first name*" + " you must enter a first name" and similarly for last name and sex.
The problem is that the text in the table does not update with appendchild. When I enclosed the statement in an alert for debugging the message is appended then disappears.
The JavaScript code is below for the onsubmit = "checkFields()".
function checkFields() {
var firstName = document.getElementById("first_name").value;
var lastName = document.getElementById("last_name").value;
if (firstName == "") {
//<span style='color:red'> Please enter a first name </span>
var nameHint = " Please enter a first name";
var node = document.getElementById("firstNameSpan");
//alert(node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(nameHint)) );
//not working
node.appendChild(document.createTextNode(nameHint));
} if (lastName == "") {
//additional code
}
}
Thanks in advance, your help is much appreciated. Also are there any JavaScript debuggers?
Regards
David D
I believe your sample code is not working due to incorrect html. document.getElementById("last_name") will return undefined.
http://jsfiddle.net/5E6my/1/
Thanks all, Im getting the ropes of JFiddle the split screen is very useful although the error messages are not useful for debugging. Here is the completed code (1) HTML (2) JavaScript.
<form method="post" name="htmlform" onsubmit="return checkFields();">
<table style="width: 479px;" border="30" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="10">

<td valign="top"><span id="firstNameSpan" >First Name *</span></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name"
size="30" maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><span id = "lastNameSpan" >Last Name *</span></td>
<td valign="top"><input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" size="30"
maxlength="50" /></td>
</tr>

<td style="text-align: center;" colspan="2" id = "sexMessage">
Please select Male or Female*</td>

The JavaScript code to react to the onsubmit button's unfilled fields in the form are: (any ways to make this code simpler??)
window.checkFields = function()
{
var firstName = document.getElementById("first_name");
var lastName = document.getElementById("last_name");
if(firstName.value == "")
{
//<span style='color:red'> Please enter a first name </span>
var nameHint = " *Please enter a first name ";
var fnNode = document.getElementById("firstNameSpan");
while(fnNode.firstChild)
{
fnNode.removeChild(fnNode.firstChild)
}
fnNode.appendChild(document.createTextNode(nameHint));
fnNode.style.color="red";
} else{
var nameHint = " First Name *";
var fnNode = document.getElementById("firstNameSpan");
while(fnNode.firstChild)

The trick is to use as Yury suggested was the onsubmit="return checkfields()" and then in the code block to use window.checkFields = function() { etc.
One question that I have... is JQuery a lot simpler to use, im learning JavaScript before JQuery... should I skip to JQUery instead. Also does JQuery support the AJAX framework?
Much appreciated

Disable input fields based on selection from drop down

I have a drop down box and some text input fields below it. Based on which item from the drop down menu the user selects, I would like to disable some of the fields. I think I am failing to target the input fields correctly but I can't figure out what the problem is:
Here is the script I have gotten so far:
$(document).ready(function(){
var customfield = $('#customfields-tf-19-tf');
var customfield1 = $('#customfields-tf-20-tf');
var customfield2 = $('#customfields-tf-13-tf');
$(function() {
var call_table = {
'Condominium': function() {
customfield.attr("disabled");
},
'Co-Op': function() {
customfield1.attr("disabled");
},
'Condop': function() {
customfield2.attr("disabled");
}
};
$('#customfields-s-18-s').change(function() {
call_table[this.value]();
});
});
});
And the layout for my form:
<td width="260" class="left">
<label for="customfields-s-18-s">Ownership (Required):</label>
</td>
<td class="right">
<select name="customfields-s-18-s" class="dropdown" id="customfields-s-18-s" size="" >
<option value="Condominium"> Condominium</option>
<option value="Co-Op"> Co-Op</option>
<option value="Condop"> Condop</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="260" class="left">
<label for="customfields-tf-19-tf">Maintenance:</label>
</td>
<td class="right">
<input type="text" title="Maintenance" class="textInput" name="customfields-tf-19-tf" id="customfields-tf-19-tf" size="40"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="newsletter_topics">
<td width="260" class="left">
<label for="customfields-tf-20-tf">Taxes:</label>
</td>
<td class="right">
<input type="text" title="Taxes" class="textInput" name="customfields-tf-20-tf" id="customfields-tf-20-tf" size="40" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="260" class="left">
<label for="customfields-tf-13-tf" class="required">Tax Deductibility:</label>
</td>
<td class="right">
<input type="text" title="Tax Deductibility" class="textInput" name="customfields-tf-13-tf" id="customfields-tf-13-tf" size="40" />
</td>
</tr>
I believe that in order to disable an input you need to use:
$(input).attr("disabled", "disabled");
Also, some of these functions might prove useful for you:
$.fn.enable = function() {
return this.removeAttr('disabled');
}
$.fn.disable = function() {
return this.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
$.fn.disenable = function(val) {
if (val)
return this.enable();
else
return this.disable()
}
$.fn.toggleEnabled = function() {
if (this.attr('disabled') == 'disabled')
return this.enable();
else
return this.disable();
}
once they've been defined, you can then use them on any jQuery variable, like so:
$(input).toggleEnabled();
