How would I go about preventing the page from refreshing when pressing the send button without any data in the fields?
The validation is setup working fine, all fields go red but then the page is immediately refreshed. My knowledge of JS is relatively basic.
In particular I think the processForm() function at the bottom is 'bad'.
HTML
<form id="prospects_form" method="post">
<input id="form_name" tabindex="1" class="boxsize" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full name*" maxlength="80" value="" />
<input id="form_email" tabindex="2" class="boxsize" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email*" maxlength="100" value="" />
<input id="form_subject" class="boxsize" type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject*" maxlength="50" value="FORM: Row for OUBC" />
<textarea id="form_message" class="boxsize" name="message" placeholder="Message*" tabindex="3" rows="6" cols="5" maxlength="500"></textarea>
<button id="form_send" tabindex="5" class="btn" type="submit" onclick="return processForm()">Send</button>
<div id="form_validation">
<span class="form_captcha_code"></span>
<input id="form_captcha" class="boxsize" type="text" name="form_captcha" placeholder="Enter code" tabindex="4" value="" />
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</form>

$("#form_validation .boxsize").focus(function() { $(this).parent().addClass("hasText"); });
// Remove active class from inputs (if empty)
$("#prospects_form .boxsize").blur(function() { if ( this.value === "") { $(this).removeClass("hasText"); } });

You can prevent the form from submitting with
$("#prospects_form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
Of course, in the function, you can check for empty fields, and if anything doesn't look right, e.preventDefault() will stop the submit.
Without jQuery:
var form = document.getElementById("myForm");
function handleForm(event) { event.preventDefault(); }
form.addEventListener('submit', handleForm);
Add this onsubmit="return false" code:
<form onsubmit="return false">
That fixed it for me. It will still run the onClick function you specify.
Replace button type to button:
<button type="button">My Cool Button</button>
One great way to prevent reloading the page when submitting using a form is by adding return false with your onsubmit attribute.
<form onsubmit="yourJsFunction();return false">
<input type="text"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
You can use this code for form submission without a page refresh. I have done this in my project.
$(function () {
$('#myFormName').on('submit',function (e) {
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'myPageName.php',
data: $('#myFormName').serialize(),
success: function () {
alert("Email has been sent!");
}
});
e.preventDefault();
});
});
This problem becomes more complex when you give the user 2 possibilities to submit the form:
by clicking on an ad hoc button
by hitting Enter key
In such a case you will need a function which detects the pressed key in which you will submit the form if Enter key was hit.
And now comes the problem with IE (in any case version 11)
Remark:
This issue does not exist with Chrome nor with FireFox !
When you click the submit button the form is submitted once; fine.
When you hit Enter the form is submitted twice ... and your servlet will be executed twice. If you don't have PRG (post redirect get) architecture serverside the result might be unexpected.
Even though the solution looks trivial, it tooks me many hours to solve this problem, so I hope it might be usefull for other folks.
This solution has been successfully tested, among others, on IE (v 11.0.9600.18426), FF (v 40.03) & Chrome (v 53.02785.143 m 64 bit)
The source code HTML & js are in the snippet. The principle is described there.
Warning:
You can't test it in the snippet because the post action is not
defined and hitting Enter key might interfer with stackoverflow.
If you faced this issue, then just copy/paste js code to your environment and adapt it to your context.
/*
* inForm points to the form
*/
var inForm = document.getElementById('idGetUserFrm');
/*
* IE submits the form twice
* To avoid this the boolean isSumbitted is:
* 1) initialized to false when the form is displayed 4 the first time
* Remark: it is not the same event as "body load"
*/
var isSumbitted = false;
function checkEnter(e) {
if (e && e.keyCode == 13) {
inForm.submit();
/*
* 2) set to true after the form submission was invoked
*/
isSumbitted = true;
}
}
function onSubmit () {
if (isSumbitted) {
/*
* 3) reset to false after the form submission executed
*/
isSumbitted = false;
return false;
}
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form id="idGetUserFrm" method="post" action="servletOrSomePhp" onsubmit="return onSubmit()">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The best solution is onsubmit call any function whatever you want and return false after it.
onsubmit="xxx_xxx(); return false;"
Most people would prevent the form from submitting by calling the event.preventDefault() function.
Another means is to remove the onclick attribute of the button, and get the code in processForm() out into .submit(function() { as return false; causes the form to not submit. Also, make the formBlaSubmit() functions return Boolean based on validity, for use in processForm();
katsh's answer is the same, just easier to digest.
(By the way, I'm new to stackoverflow, give me guidance please. )
In pure Javascript, use: e.preventDefault()
e.preventDefault() is used in jquery but works in javascript.
document.querySelector(".buttonclick").addEventListener("click",
function(e){
//some code
e.preventDefault();
})
The best way to do so with JS is using preventDefault() function.
Consider the code below for reference:
function loadForm(){
var loginForm = document.querySelector('form'); //Selecting the form
loginForm.addEventListener('submit', login); //looking for submit
}
function login(e){
e.preventDefault(); //to stop form action i.e. submit
}
Personally I like to validate the form on submit and if there are errors, just return false.
$('form').submit(function() {
var error;
if ( !$('input').val() ) {
error = true
}
if (error) {
alert('there are errors')
return false
}
});
http://jsfiddle.net/dfyXY/
$("#buttonID").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
//some logic here
}
If you want to use Pure Javascript then the following snippet will be better than anything else.
Suppose:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Form Without Submiting With Pure JS</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function(){
/**
* Just Make sure to return false so that your request will not go the server script
*/
document.getElementById('simple_form').onsubmit = function(){
// After doing your logic that you want to do
return false
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
<form id="simple_form" method="post">
<!-- Your Inputs will go here -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit Me!!" />
</form>
Hope so it works for You!!
Just use "javascript:" in your action attribute of form if you are not using action.
In my opinion, most answers are trying to solve the problem asked on your question, but I don't think that's the best approach for your scenario.
How would I go about preventing the page from refreshing when pressing the send button without any data in the fields?
A .preventDefault() does indeed not refresh the page. But I think that a simple require on the fields you want populated with data, would solve your problem.
<form id="prospects_form" method="post">
<input id="form_name" tabindex="1" class="boxsize" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full name*" maxlength="80" value="" required/>
<input id="form_email" tabindex="2" class="boxsize" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email*" maxlength="100" value="" required/>
<input id="form_subject" class="boxsize" type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject*" maxlength="50" value="FORM: Row for OUBC" required/>
<textarea id="form_message" class="boxsize" name="message" placeholder="Message*" tabindex="3" rows="6" cols="5" maxlength="500"></textarea>
</form>
Notice the require tag added at the end of each input. The result will be the same: not refreshing the page without any data in the fields.
<form onsubmit="myFunction(event)">
Name : <input type="text"/>
<input class="submit" type="submit">
</form>
<script>
function myFunction(event){
event.preventDefault();
//code here
}
</script>
function ajax_form(selector, obj)
{
var form = document.querySelectorAll(selector);
if(obj)
{
var before = obj.before ? obj.before : function(){return true;};
var $success = obj.success ? obj.success: function(){return true;};
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
{
var url = form[i].hasAttribute('action') ? form[i].getAttribute('action') : window.location;
var $form = form[i];
form[i].submit = function()
{
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.open("POST", url, true);
var FD = new FormData($form);
/** prevent submiting twice */
if($form.disable === true)
return this;
$form.disable = true;
if(before() === false)
return;
xhttp.addEventListener('load', function()
{
$form.disable = false;
return $success(JSON.parse(this.response));
});
xhttp.send(FD);
}
}
}
return form;
}
Didn't check how it works. You can also bind(this) so it will work like jquery ajaxForm
use it like:
ajax_form('form',
{
before: function()
{
alert('submiting form');
// if return false form shouldn't be submitted
},
success:function(data)
{
console.log(data)
}
}
)[0].submit();
it return nodes so you can do something like submit i above example
so far from perfection but it suppose to work, you should add error handling or remove disable condition
Sometimes e.preventDefault(); works then developers are happy but sometimes not work then developers are sad then I found solution why sometimes not works
first code sometimes works
$("#prospects_form").submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
second option why not work?
This doesn't work because jquery or other javascript library not loading properly you can check it in console that all jquery and javascript files are loaded properly or not.
This solves my problem. I hope this will be helpful for you.
I hope this will be the last answer
$('#the_form').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault()
alert($(this).serialize())
// var values = $(this).serialize()
// logic....
})
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="the_form">
Label-A <input type="text" name='a'required><br>
Label-B <input type="text" name="b" required><br>
Label-C <input type="password" name="c" required><br>
Label-D <input type="number" name="d" required><br>
<input type="submit" value="Save without refresh">
</form>
You can do this by clearing the state as below. add this to very beginning of the document.ready function.
if ( window.history.replaceState ) {
window.history.replaceState( null, null, window.location.href );
}
I'm trying to use google invisible recaptcha on my web form (php and codeigniter 3). but somehow whenever I click on the Submit button, the google recaptcha keeps generating questions as if ignoring all the other codes before the execute command. so none of the console.log and alert ever appear. what is wrong with my code?
my code looks like this:
HTML
<form id="form_signup" method="post" action="/signup">
<input type="text" name="username"/>
<div class="g-recaptcha"
id="form_signup-recaptcha"
data-size="invisible"
data-sitekey="<?php echo $mysitekey; ?>"
data-callback="onSubmitFormSignupUser">
</div>
<button type="button" id="formSignup-btnSubmit">
Submit
</button>
</form>
JS
var widgetId = '';
var onLoadRecaptcha = function() {
widgetId = grecaptcha.render('formSignup-btnSubmit', {
'sitekey' : $('#form_signup-recaptcha').attr('data-sitekey'),
'callback' : $('#form_signup-recaptcha').attr('data-callback'),
});
};
var onSubmitFormSignupUser = function(response) {
console.log('response', response);
if ($('[name="username"]').val()) {
alert('yes');
grecaptcha.execute(widgetId);
doSubmitFormToServer('#form_signup');
}
else {
alert('no');
grecaptcha.reset(widgetId);
}
}
var doSubmitFormToServer = function(selector) {
var myData = $(selector).serializeArray();
console.log('send form data', myData);
}
Well, you had a typo in the id, at least, here id="form_signup-recaptcha" and here: 'sitekey' : $('#formSignup-recaptcha').attr('data-sitekey'),, other than that, it is not clear, was it invoked at all, or not, as you've not provided the part of including the script, which should contain ?onload=onLoadRecaptcha parameter.
The code is below, but it won't work here, because of null origin. Check Codepen instead: https://codepen.io/extempl/pen/abOvBZv
sitekey used is one is for testing purposes only, as described here: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq#id-like-to-run-automated-tests-with-recaptcha-v2-what-should-i-do
var widgetId = "";
var onLoadRecaptcha = function() {
widgetId = grecaptcha.render("formSignup-btnSubmit", {
sitekey: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-sitekey"),
callback: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-callback")
});
};
var onSubmitFormSignupUser = function(response) {
console.log("response", response);
if ($('[name="username"]').val()) {
grecaptcha.execute(widgetId);
doSubmitFormToServer("#form_signup");
} else {
$(".status").text("failed");
grecaptcha.reset(widgetId);
}
};
var doSubmitFormToServer = function(selector) {
var myData = $(selector).serializeArray();
$(".status").text("submitted");
console.log("send form data", myData);
};
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=onLoadRecaptcha"></script>
<body>
<form id="form_signup" method="post" action="/signup">
<input type="text" name="username" />
<div
class="g-recaptcha"
id="form_signup-recaptcha"
data-size="invisible"
data-sitekey="6LeIxAcTAAAAAJcZVRqyHh71UMIEGNQ_MXjiZKhI"
data-callback="onSubmitFormSignupUser">
</div>
<button type="button" id="formSignup-btnSubmit">
Submit
</button>
<span class="status"></span>
</form>
</body>
it turns out that the solution is so simple.
this code
var onLoadRecaptcha = function() {
widgetId = grecaptcha.render("formSignup-btnSubmit", { // wrong element ID
sitekey: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-sitekey"),
callback: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-callback")
});
};
should be like this
var onLoadRecaptcha = function() {
widgetId = grecaptcha.render("form_signup-recaptcha", { // corrent element ID
sitekey: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-sitekey"),
callback: $("#form_signup-recaptcha").attr("data-callback")
});
};
because the recaptcha element is like this
<div
class="g-recaptcha"
id="form_signup-recaptcha"
data-size="invisible"
data-sitekey="6LeIxAcTAAAAAJcZVRqyHh71UMIEGNQ_MXjiZKhI"
data-callback="onSubmitFormSignupUser">
</div>
so basically the parameters for grecaptcha.render should follow the properties in the element that has g-recaptcha class. my mistake was that I used the button id, even though the element with g-recaptcha class was the div.
I don't remember reading about this particular thing in the documentation. I guess I'm too stupid to realize that before this.. I hope this makes things clear for others with the same problem.
I am trying to validate a form field using Regex. The field should contain 5 numbers (ie 12345 = valid, 1234a = invalid, 123456 = invalid), that is it. no more, no less. The problem is with different regex formats, the .test() method either always returns true, or always returns false. It never works for correct values and fails for incorrect values. All regex testers test the regex successfully for JavaScript but when I add it to my page (WordPress), I get these issues. I read up about the /g field should be removed and tried all that. still no luck.
HTML:
<form name="newform" action="Create.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="POST" >
Code <br/><br/><input id="code" class="form-control" type="text" value="" name="code" onkeypress="CodeStyleRefresh()" />
<button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit">Create</button>
</form>
JavaScript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateForm(){
var CodePattern = new RegExp(/\b\d{5}\b/);
if(CodePattern.test(document.forms["newform"]["code"].value) == true)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
function CodeStyleRefresh(){
document.getElementById("code").setAttribute("style", "background-color: #ffffff;");
}
</script>
Some other ways I have tried to specify the expression:
var CodePattern = new RegExp(/\b\d{5}\b/);
var CodePattern = new RegExp('/\b\d{5}\b/');
var CodePattern = /\b\d{5}\b/;
var CodePattern = '/\b\d{5}\b/';
var CodePattern = \b\d{5}\b;
var CodePattern = '\b\d{5}\b';
This is my first time ever touching regex and I am fairly new to the JavaScript family as well. Not having such a good time.
UPDATE:
I have gone back to basics. My JavaScript now looks as follows based on a few suggestions:
function validateForm(event)
{
console.log("Im running the script!");
console.log(event.target.querySelector("[name=code]").value);
var CodePattern = new RegExp(/\b\d{5}\b/);
var codeVal = event.target.querySelector("[name=code]").value;
if(CodePattern.test(codeVal) == true)
{
alert("Expression Passed!");
}
else
{
alert("Expression Failed!");
return false;
}
}
My HTML is now:
<form name="newform" onsubmit="return validateForm(event)" method="POST">
Code
<input id="code" class="form-control" type="text" value="" name="code" />
<button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit">Create</button>
</form>
Still this expression is only hitting the failed state and alerts expression failed.
If it helps, I am adding the JavaScript to a WordPress page, the form is normal html on the same page. I have tried adding the JavaScript to both the header and the footer but this does not change anything. I'm starting to think I should just check if the length of the field = 5 and if I can then cast it to an int instead of using RegEx at all!
Your regex is fine. If you are only getting the error when you upload your code to your wordpress site, I'd be tempted to say that your problem is your context, perhaps you have more than one form with the same name?
Try a context aware piece of code, update your html to:
<form name="newform" onsubmit="return validateForm(event)" method="POST">
Code
<input id="code" class="form-control" type="text" value="" name="code" onkeypress="CodeStyleRefresh()" />
<button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit">Create</button>
</form>
And your javascript:
function validateForm(event){
var myRegex = new RegExp(/\b\d{5}\b/);
//event.target holds the node element that triggered the function in our case, the Form itself
var myValue = event.target.querySelector("[name=code]").value; //here we find the input with the name=code inside the form that triggered the event
return myRegex.test(myValue) //return true if it passed, false if not
}
Since I cannot insert this much code in comments, I am posting an answer here to show how it all works.
function validateForm(frm, evt)
{
var codeVal = frm.code.value;
var CodePattern = /\b\d{5}\b/;
// comment below line after testing
evt.preventDefault();
if(CodePattern.test(codeVal) == true)
{
console.log("Expression Passed!");
return true;
}
else
{
console.log("Expression Failed!");
return false;
}
}
<form name="newform" onsubmit="return validateForm(this, event)" method="POST">
Code <br/><br/>
<input id="code" type="text" value="abc 12345 foo bar" name="code" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Create" />
</form>
Thank you for all the suggestions. I have learnt a few things by looking at them all and I have made a few changes.
I could not however get the regex to work properly in wordpress. I was forced to create a longwinded, dirtier solution to this. I will continue to look at possible solutions and test on other wordpress sites, but for now, this is the code I am using to validate the field:
function validateForm(frm, evt)
{
var codeVal = frm.code.value;
console.log("Code Value: " + String(codeVal));
// comment below line after testing
evt.preventDefault();
var lenPass = false;
var strlen = codeVal.length;
if(strlen == 5)
{
lenPass = true;
}
if(lenPass)
{
var c1 = Number.isNaN(Number(codeVal.charAt(0)));
var c2 = Number.isNaN(Number(codeVal.charAt(1)));
var c3 = Number.isNaN(Number(codeVal.charAt(2)));
var c4 = Number.isNaN(Number(codeVal.charAt(3)));
var c5 = Number.isNaN(Number(codeVal.charAt(4)));
console.log(c1);
console.log(c2);
console.log(c3);
console.log(c4);
console.log(c5);
var pass = true;
if(c1)
{
pass = false;
}
if(c2)
{
pass = false;
}
if(c3)
{
pass = false;
}
if(c4)
{
pass = false;
}
if(c5)
{
pass = false;
}
if(pass)
{
alert("Expression Stage 2 Passed!");
return true;
}
else
{
alert("Expression Stage 2 Failed!");
return false;
}
}
else
{
alert("Expression Stage 1 Failed!");
return false;
}
}

The following lines of code is giving me error:
elem = new Array()
elem = driver.findElements(By.CssSelector('input'));
What's wrong in the above statement?
If I have a HTML form like:
<form role="form" method="post" action="/login_check">
<input type="hidden" value="" name="_csrf_token">
<div class="form-group">
<input id="username" class="form-control input-lg" type="text" placeholder="Email:" required="required" value="sfdgvsgsg" name="_username">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input id="password" class="form-control input-lg" type="password" autofocus="autofocus" placeholder="Password:" required="required" name="_password">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input id="_submit" class="btn submit" type="submit" value="LOGIN" name="_submit">
</div>
</form>
And I use a script like this:
elem = new Array()
elem = driver.findElements(By.CssSelector('input:required'));
Then also I am getting the same error.

1) TrackRevenue Test Login as Administrator:
TypeError: undefined is not a function
at Array.forEach (native)
EDIT:
As requested, I am presenting my whole code:
var assert = require('assert');
var test = require('selenium-webdriver/testing');
var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var By = webdriver.By;
var until = webdriver.until;
var equals = webdriver.equals;
/*----login details for Administrator----*/
var userAdmin = '';
var passAdmin = 'DarkPrince2012';
/*---------------------------------------*/
/*-----------extra details---------------*/
var baseUrl = 'http://saswatr3.ouh.co/login';
var expectedTitle = "Track Revenue";
var successMessage = "Welcome to the admin page!";
/*---------------------------------------*/
test.describe('TrackRevenue Test', function()
{
test.it('Login as Administrator', function()
{
var driver = new webdriver.Builder()
.withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.firefox())
.build();
var loginFlag = 0;
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.getTitle().then(function(title)
{
if(expectedTitle === title)
{
driver.findElement(By.id('username')).sendKeys(userAdmin);
driver.findElement(By.id('password')).sendKeys(passAdmin);
driver.findElement(By.id('_submit')).click();
driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("input:required")).then(function(elem){
console.log(elem.length);
});
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Log out')]")).then(function(elements_arr)
{
if(elements_arr.length > 0)
{
loginFlag = 1;
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(#class, 'user-name m-r-sm text-muted welcome-message')]")).getAttribute("innerText").then(function(text){
console.log("Logged in as : " + text);
});
}
else
{
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[contains(text(), 'Invalid credentials.')]")).then(function(elements_arr2)
{
if(elements_arr2.length > 0)
console.log("Login Unsuccessful, div invalid credentials found");
else
console.log("Login Unsuccessful, div invalid credentials not found");
});
}
if(loginFlag == 1)
console.log("Login Successful");
else
console.log("Login Unsuccessful");
});
}
else
{
console.log("Verification Failed - An incorrect title is displayed on the web page.");
}
});
driver.quit();
});
});
What I want to achieve:
See this section:
driver.findElement(By.id('username')).sendKeys(userAdmin);
driver.findElement(By.id('password')).sendKeys(passAdmin);
driver.findElement(By.id('_submit')).click();
driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("input:required")).then(function(elem){
console.log(elem.length);
});
As you can compare with the HTML form, when the submit button is clicked, the HTML5 validation is checked. If any of the two inputs are blank, then the HTML% validation throws a message.
I want to check that HTML5 validation message in the selenium script. If no validation message is thrown, the form is presumed submitted.
The problem I am facing is, neither I can detect the HTML5 validation, and after the
driver.findElement(By.id('_submit')).click();
the form is getting submitted.
You are getting type error because you are using invalid locator tag. Change CssSelector to cssSelector in your code above, it should fix your problem.
elem = new Array()
elem = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector('input'));
Hope this helps.
What are you trying to accomplish with this CSS Selector?
"input:required"
Are you trying to get the INPUTs with the required attribute? If so, try this
driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("input[required]"))
If not, please explain more clearly what you are trying to do.
