Formspree (HTML) and JavaScript not working simultaneously. (Toastr library) - javascript

I'm using Formspree - https://formspree.io/ to redirect my forms to my email as I'm hosting my website on a static page.
I'm also using an external library Toastr (http://codeseven.github.io/toastr/) to make a small notification appear once the user clicks the 'Submit' button for the form.
The problem is that I cannot get Formspree and Toastr to run at the same time. When I implement both of them, none of the features work.
Code: (Please say if I need to add more for the problem to be clearer).
<form action="http://formspree.io/emailhere" method="POST">
<div>
<div class="row">
<div class="6u 12u(mobile)">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" />
</div>
<div class="6u 12u(mobile)">
<input type="email" name="_replyto" id="email" placeholder="Your Email" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="12u">
<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" placeholder="Subject" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="12u">
<textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row 200%">
<div class="12u">
<ul class="actions"> //Pressing submit redirects to a 'thank you' page
<li> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Send" id="submit"/> </li>
<li> <input type="reset" value="Clear Form" class="alt" /> </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Now when you press the submit button it redirects you to a Formspring thank you page. When I add the Javascript for the toast notification it does not even do this meaning the JavaScript 'disrupts' the submit button functionality somehow.
$(document).on('click', '#submit', function(evt){
evt.preventDefault();
toastr.success('Thanks for the email, will be in touch promptly.');
});
Thanks for looking.
Edit: So I want it so both of them work together. This is the code for HTML were you can choose the redirect page after you press the submit button:
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="//site.io/thanks.html" />
I want it so it does not redirect anywhere but does do my JS function notification.

You're preventing the default behavior (to redirect to the form URL) in your click handler. Simply remove
evt.preventDefault();
And it should work (although obviously, since your page is being redirected, the Toastr popup won't be visible).
If you want it to open in a new tab, you should prevent the default behavior (as you do currently) and then open the URL manually.

The best way to get around this is to use a button element instead of the submit input element. This would require you to submit the information to an endpoint of some sort using ajax and then notifying the browser of the submission using your javascript function. All of this is to avoid the redirect that happens when you use the default browser behavior to submit the form. If you don't use ajax, you have to redirect due to default browser behavior.

How to replace information in a form using jQuery on submit

Here is my form,
<div id="myForm">
<form method="post" id="contact-form" action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">
<div class="row uniform">
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<input type="text" name="fullname" id="fullname" value="" placeholder="Enter your full name" required />
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" placeholder="enter your email address" required />
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$(medium)">
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" value="" placeholder="Enter your message" ></textarea>
</div>
<div class="6u 12u$">
<ul class="actions">
<li><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="special" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
I want to replace form with, thank you for submitting on selecting the submit button, at the moment It just refreshes the page and does not replace the form, I don't want it to refresh the page I want it to just submit and fade in a message saying thank you for submitting your details.
here is my jquery
<script>
$("#contact-form").submit(function(){
$("#myForm").html("thank you for submitting your details.");
});
</script>
Please can you help?
We have to create a ajax call in order to submit without refreshing the page:
$("#contact-form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post($(this).attr('action'), $(this).serialize());
$("#myForm").html("thank you for submitting your details.");
});

Take a look in the network tab to display the POST data
In that case you will want to look at using ajax form. If you submit as it is then it will post back and refresh the page. Ajax will post the data without changing anything on the page.
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/
jQuery AJAX submit form
Then, once the data has been sent you can manipulate the DOM as you wish. This will also allow you to show different messages based on whether the data was saved correctly or not, if done correctly.

Stop New Tab From Opening

I'm using mailchimp to create a signup sheet and every time the submit button is pressed, a new tab will open that confirms your subscription to the mailchimp email list. I want it to run as a sort of background process where no new tab is opened at all but the form is still submitted. Here is the code I currently have with MailChimp:
div id="mc_embed_signup">
<form action="//standrtech.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=c330585c1144a0dd4bfd6d0df&id=b7e663bdf4" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
<div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll">
<h2></h2>
<div class="mc-field-group">
<label for="mce-EMAIL">Email Address </label>
<input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="Enter your email">
</div>
<div id="mce-responses" class="clear">
<div class="response" id="mce-error-response" style="display:none"></div>
<div class="response" id="mce-success-response" style="display:none"></div>
</div> <!--real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signup-->
<div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;"><input type="text" name="b_c330585c1144a0dd4bfd6d0df_b7e663bdf4" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
<div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="Get Early Access" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button" onclick="submission();"></div>
</div>
</form>
I know I am a little too late for this, but I have found the solution for future references.
For 'classic' form only
Looks like the HTML code is not copied properly. In the mailchimp embed form dashboard, look for the scripts after the outer div, the one containing the form, these scripts will validate your form. My embed form has two scripts after the outer div :
<script type='text/javascript' src='//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js'></script>
and
<script type='text/javascript'>(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';fnames[1]='FNAME';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[2]='LNAME';ftypes[2]='text';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>
second script may vary depending upon your form fields, but I think you definitely need to add the mc-validate.js to resolve this issue.
Hope this helps.
Remove target="_blank" from your form tag.
in my case, it is because of the form validation script. i removed the script and do a simple email input text validation on my own.

Redirecting after form submission in Javascript

I hope someone can assist with this. I dont have access to the website backend, so I cant change the js script uploaded there. What I am trying to achieve is make a simple form to submit an issue report and then display a "Thank you" popup and redirect back to main page of the account on our page.
So I can make a form no problem. I copied one of the functioning forms by going to Edit link and clicking on Show Source in Page Body. But I can't stop the default behavior of it going to another page after Submit button is pressed. I suspect it is in js script on the back end. I'll copy code below.
<center>
<b>App Issues Report Form</b>
<br>
</center>
<form action="/Modules/SendForm" method="post" class="form" id="NewForm">
<input name="formFields" value="CONTACTID,AgentName,Notes" type="hidden">
<input name="formLabels" value="Contact ID:,Agent Name:,Notes:" type="hidden">
<input name="fromAddress" value="no-reply#callcenter.com" type="hidden">
<input name="toAddress" value="name#CallCenter.com" type="hidden">
<input name="subject" value="A new message about app" type="hidden">
<input name="emailMsg" value="The following data has been collected:" type="hidden">

class="validate[required] xlarge" value="##LOGGEDIN_AGENT_FIRST_NAME##
##LOGGEDIN_AGENT_LAST_NAME##" type="text">
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix">
<label>Notes:</label>
<div class="input"><textarea id="Notes" name="Notes"
class="validate[required] xxlarge"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix grey-highlight">
<div class="input no-label">
<input class="button blue" value="Submit" type="submit">
<input class="button grey" value="Reset" type="reset">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("NewForm").click(function( event ) {
alert( "Thank you for your feedback" );
event.preventDefault();
});
});
</script>
It used to have only this at the end when I copied the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
new setupAjaxForm('NewForm'); });
</script>
I tried searching and suggestions here didnt seem to work:
How to redirect user to another page after Ajax form submission
How to redirect user to another page after Ajax form submission?
http://learn.jquery.com/about-jquery/how-jquery-works/
The first thing you have to look at is action="/Modules/SendForm" - this is what does the redirection. If you don't want to redirect, set this to the name of the page you have the form. Obviously there is a whole lot more to forms and redirection (and some other js code might influence this too, nonetheless we don't see what the function setupAjaxForm is supposed to do here), but this is really the first thing to check / get right.
EDIT: I think I understand it more now: basically if you don't have access to the /Modules/SendForm page (where most probably, among others, like form validation, the redirection also happens, then you can't do much to change the redirection.

I Find out that when change jqmOverlay position from fixed to absolute on simple site (wchich contains only link and login modal box) input methods works fine but still appear wrong on cms page.
Have you tried the attribute autocomplete=false on the input?
<input type="text" name="input_field_login" id="login" class="text" autocomplete="false" />

html form trying to http get when a button is pressed

Ive got a html form with a few select lists and a text box in it. I also have a submit button which is outside of the form. The reason for this is I want to construct the parameters myself, as I dont want the content of all of the select lists. The problem I am having is, that when I press my submit button,The form automaticly trys to redirect to the same page, but with a ? at the end with all the contents of the form. I am also having problems where window.location.href is not working inside the submit() javascript method, but I am not sure if this is caused by the form issue or not. Example code:
<form>
<input name="cName" type="text" class="input-xlarge" id="input01" placeholder=
"Enter title" />
<div class="control-group">
<hr />
<label class="control-label" for="select01">Select box 1</label>
<div class="controls">
<select id="select01" name="type" onChange="reportModification(this.value)">
<option>One</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<button class="btn btn-primary" onClick="next()">Next</button>
This is not the exact code from the page, just a replica.So it might not be valid html in some places. Thanks for the help :)
The reason you get parameters in the url is that a get request is used instead of a post request. you should use:
<form method="POST" action="">
Also why is your button outside the form? you could have this instead:
</div>
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Next" onClick="next()" />
</form>
I think your button has to be inside the form element. You could use an onsubmit in the form element to intercept the form before it gets sent to the server. Here you could manipulate the values before they go. You would also need an action attribute in the form. If your function returns true, the data will be submitted, false and it won't.
