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.

I want to have a hidden field in my code as below, that bots will fill in when submitting it. But i want javascript code to look at that field only for a value and if there is a value, create an alert or hide the submit button so the bot cannot signup at all.
I just tailored a mailchimp form to use.
<link href="//cdn-images.mailchimp.com/embedcode/classic-10_7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

It sounds to me like you are talking about using a honeypot technique to catch spam bots. But I think you are thinking about it slightly wrong. A bot with any level of sophistication should be able to submit a form without it having an explicit submit button. Further, a sophisticated spam bot will be able to bypass any client-side validation you attempt to perform prior to submitting the form, and will also likely ignore any seemingly meaningless alerts you present it.
Thus, you want to augment your client-side validation with server-side validation when using a honeypot. The idea is that a normal user won't enter anything into a hidden field, but a bot might, so if there is an unexpected value in it then the form submission is bogus.
If you are, however, stuck with client-side validation here are a few articles about implementing honeypots in JavaScript:

I'm creating a new website for my company using mobirise. The mobirise templates come with predesigned email forms that were created using formoid. When a user uses the email form to send an email the information is sent to formoid and then formoid sends the information to me at my email address. All of the coding in the email form is behind the scenes, so I can't actually see what it's doing.
On one of my forms I need to have the page redirect to another page where users will be able to upload a file to my server using another script. I have contacted mobirise to ask them if they could tell me how to redirect after the user clicks the submit button, but they said I had to contact formoid. So far I haven't gotten a response back from formoid so I thought I would try to look for a solution on my own.
I have tried adding javascript code to the coding on the page, but as I said, most of the coding of the form is somewhere behind the scenes and I can't figure out exactly which coding is performing the form's submit action.
What I was hoping for is a suggestion about how I could add some additional JavaScript coding that would watch for the submit button in the form being clicked and then redirect the page. I'm not positive this is even possible, but I figured that if anyone would be helpful it would be the people who post solutions here. I'm rather new to JavaScript, so I'm not sure where to start and I don't want to experiment for hours and hours and get frustrated because nothing is working.
So, if anyone can give me an idea here I would greatly appreciate it. Below is the coding for the form in case it helps:
<div data-form-alert="true">
<div hidden="" data-form-alert-success="true" class="alert alert-form alert-success text-xs-center">Thanks for uploading your audio file!</div>
</div>
<form action="https://mobirise.com/" method="post" data-form-title="FTP Upload">
<input type="hidden" value="NTcF3QgiRzQHgm5xv+UnYlBBGPR27Q6NZwj5EPuecwUNxuL8vndMlaaoM2PpzlkXlNaFBrtr2mU+CfZxfef01mKMpaQkezUMhyWXZgieem0/pt/V/nU0iUetLNqsEpj7" data-form-email="true">
<div class="row row-sm-offset">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="form1-3o-name">Name<span class="form-asterisk">*</span></label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" required="" data-form-field="Name" id="form1-3o-name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="form1-3o-email">Email<span class="form-asterisk">*</span></label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" required="" data-form-field="Email" id="form1-3o-email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="form1-3o-phone">Phone</label>
<input type="tel" class="form-control" name="phone" data-form-field="Phone" id="form1-3o-phone">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="form1-3o-message">One or more files are being uploaded to the WORDsmart server. </label>
<textarea class="form-control" name="message" rows="7" data-form-field="Message" id="form1-3o-message"></textarea>
</div>
<div><button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">CONTACT US</button></div>
</form>
in this case, I would recommend you to use another form. As far as I know form wouldn't work if you would bring any changes to form of Mobirise. Just use another form creator and implement it manually to Mobirise's project after publication to the local folder (the project of Mobirise).
You can read tutorial about publishing here: https://mobirise.com/help/local-host-369.html
Just change the action field in the first line of the form, to the page were you would like to send the data.
The next hidden input line with the public key may be deleted also.
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.
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.

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 integrated nicEdit because it's very light unlike all the other ones that contain hundreds of kb's.
In Chrome it is however causing problems. It for example doesn't save the text into the textarea or make things bold. The problem can be observed at this website or see below code. Please don't provide a hack like one answerer did because that's not going to help anything.
I have disabled the editor for debugging purposes. You can enable it with your console through new nicEditor().panelInstance('comment');

The Bold problem is caused by CSS inheritance. In your css file remove rdd blog-item span{} and it will work. nicEdit does not save the contents automatically in the textarea. At form submission you therefore have to run: nicEditors.findEditor('comment').saveContent(); to save it
You can bind events on the editor and save it's contents when that event is fired.
When I run this code on your example page, it works for me (your server doesn't pickup the nicEditor HTML tags though):
var commentNicEditor = new nicEditor().panelInstance('comment');
commentNicEditor.addEvent("blur", function () {
commentNicEditor.instanceById('comment').saveContent();
});
Updated with jQuery-free solution based on official documentation.
