First of all, Hello Everyone, I'm new in here.
I have searched all over the site and I can't seem to find an answer to my problem...
I have an input, being generated via AJAX-PHP dynamically, and I want the user to enter some Value there, then send the data via Ajax for processing it into Mysql.
Thing is, javascript is reading the input value of the as Null:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null"
Here's the code:
function addBandMember() {
var Btn = _("addBandMem");
var errorMsg = _("UpWinMsg");
var url = window.location.href;
var mmbr = _("#newBandMember").value; // <-THIS IS RETURNING NULL
if (mmbr == "") {
errorMsg.innerHTML = "Please enter a USERNAME";
} else {
errormsg.innerHTML = "please wait...";
var ajax = ajaxObj("POST", url);
ajax.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (ajaxReturn(ajax) == true) {
//SETTINGS RECEIVED
if (ajax.responseText != "member_added") {
errorMsg.innerHTML = ajax.responseText;
} else {
toggleUpWin();
receiveUserData();
}
}
};
ajax.send("mmbr=" + mmbr);
}
}
I believe this is happening because the Input field is being generated AFTER the document loads, via Ajax and PHP... Am I wrong? How can I address this newly-generated ID?
Thanks!
Try this one to get the value of input box.
var mmbr =$("#newBandMember").val();
OR
var mmbr =_("#newBandMember").val();
Found the answer... It was just a stupid mistake...
I have a function set for "getElementById" which requires a string, without "#".
so it'd be:
var mmbr = _("newBandMember").value; // <-THIS IS NOT RETURNING NULL
instead of:
var mmbr = _("#newBandMember").value; // <-THIS IS RETURNING NULL
Thanks to everyone who answered!

I wanted to ask how can i get the values of the Javascript Input and store it into a php value so i can post this data into Sqlite3. Im receiving user inputs from the Javascript Prompts. Is there another way to accomplish this also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
function myFunc(){
var code = prompt("Please enter authorized code twice for security purposes: ");
var email = prompt("Please enter email twice to continue: ");
if(code==""||code==null||code!="1234"){
//Handle Error
window.location.href="error.html";
}
}
document.onreadystatechange = () => {
document.addEventListener('readystatechange', event => {
if (event.target.readyState === "complete") {
myFunc();
}
});
}
Using jquery you can use the $.post method:
function myFunc() {
var code = prompt("Please enter authorized code twice for security purposes: ");
var email = prompt("Please enter email twice to continue: ");
var url = "phpToGetInputs.php";
var data = {
code: code,
email: email
}
$.post(url, data); // "send the data to the php file specified in url"
// code...
}
document.onreadystatechange = () => {
// code...
}
Then, in your PHP file (that you specified as the url)
phpToGetInputs.php:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
$email = $_POST['email']; // get the email input (posted in data variable)
$code = $_POST['code']; // get the code input (posted in data variable)
// do code that requires email and code inputs
}
?>
Use a jQuery post request to send the variable from javascript to php.
$.post([url], { "data" : text });

I am trying to learn JS so i am writing code only in JS (there is only up to the body tag in my html code that uses the script).
I am trying in the condition mentioned above, to write a login form and validate it with a validation function.
For some reason nothing happens when I submit the form (I believe its not even calling the validate function, since I put an alert in the beginning of it).
My code:
function validateLogin() {
alert("CHECK");
var username = document.getElementById('username').value;
var pass = document.getElementById('pass').value;
if (username === "admin" && pass === "admin") {
return true;
} else {
alert("Wrong username or password!");
return false;
}
}
var loginDiv = document.createElement('div');
loginDiv.className = 'loginDiv';
var loginForm = document.createElement('form');
loginForm.className = 'loginForm';
loginForm.onsubmit = "return validateLogin()";
var username = document.createElement('input');
username.id = 'username';
var pass = document.createElement('input');
pass.id = 'pass';
pass.type = 'password';
var subm = document.createElement('input');
subm.type = 'submit';
loginForm.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Username:"));
loginForm.appendChild(username);
loginForm.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
loginForm.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Password:"));
loginForm.appendChild(pass);
loginForm.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
loginForm.appendChild(subm);
loginForm.action = "#";
loginForm.method = "post";
loginDiv.appendChild(loginForm);
document.body.appendChild(loginDiv);
edit I found that changing
loginForm.onsubmit = "return validateLogin()";
into
loginForm.onsubmit = validateLogin;
solved it for me, for some reason.
First of all you're targeting the DOM object, not the value.
Instead of:
var username = document.getElementById('username');
use:
var username = document.getElementById('username').value;
Of course this is not a good way to build an authentication system, but since it's for learning purposes, we'll go on with it. I would also not recommend using all these "appendChild" functions to create HTML.
There are better ways of doing it. Look into things like MuschacheJS and how they do rendering.
Edit:
You also need to call the function validateLogin();
You could do it like this:
document.getElementById("submitButton").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
validateLogin();
});
This code assumes that there is a button with id submitButton, but you already know how to create that.
Change your button code to the following:
var subm = document.createElement('button');
subm.innerHTML = 'click me';
subm.onclick = validateLogin();
subm.type = 'submit';
Your onsubmit attribute is not added to your form. To fix this, use .setAttribute as you can see in the code below.
A second problem is, that you don't get the value of your input fields, but the full node. For that, you need to append .value.
If you don't want that the page reloads (or redirects to any page given in the action attribute of your form when true login credentials, prepend event.preventDefault() to your validateLogin().
function validateLogin() {
alert("CHECK");
var username = document.getElementById('username').value;
var pass = document.getElementById('pass').value;
if(username === "admin" && pass ==="admin"){
return true;
} else{
alert("Wrong username or password!");
return false;
}
}
var loginDiv = document.createElement('div');
loginDiv.className = 'loginDiv';
var loginForm = document.createElement('form');
loginForm.className = 'loginForm';
// .setAttribute() allows to set all kind of attributes to a node
loginForm.setAttribute("onsubmit", "return validateLogin()");
var username = document.createElement('input');
username.id = 'username';
var pass = document.createElement('input');
pass.id = 'pass';
pass.type = 'password';
var subm = document.createElement('input');
subm.type = 'submit';
loginForm.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Username:"));
loginForm.appendChild(username);
loginForm.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
loginForm.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Password:"));
loginForm.appendChild(pass);
loginForm.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
loginForm.appendChild(subm);
loginForm.action = "#";
loginForm.method = "post";
loginDiv.appendChild(loginForm);
document.body.appendChild(loginDiv);
The javascript is supposed to handle form submission. However, even if called with
script src="js/registerform.js"> Uncaught ReferenceError: sendreg is not defined .
The function is called onclick. Can be reproduced on www.r4ge.ro while trying to register as well as live edited. Tried jshint.com but no clue.
I will edit with any snips required.
function sendreg() {
var nameie = $("#fname").val();
var passwordie = $("#fpass").val();
var emailie = $("#fmail").val();
if (nameie == '' || passwordie == '' || emailie == '') {
alert("Please fill all the forms before submitting!");
} else {
// Returns successful data submission message when the entered information is stored in database.
$.post("http://r4ge.ro/php/register.php", {
numeleluii: nameie,
pass: passwordie,
mail: emailie
}, function(data) {
alert(data);
$('#form')[0].reset(); // To reset form fields
setTimeout(fillhome, 1000);
});
}
}
function sendpass() {
var oldpassw = $("#oldpass").val();
var newpassw = $("#newpass").val();
if (oldpassw == '' || newpassw == '') {
alert("Please fill all the forms before submitting!");
} else {
// Returns successful data submission message when the entered information is stored in database.
$.post("http://r4ge.ro/php/security.php", {
xoldpass: oldpassw,
xnewpass: newpassw
}, function(data2) {
alert(data2);
$('#passform')[0].reset(); // To reset form fields
});
}
}
function sendmail()
{
var curpass = $("#curpass").val();
var newmail = $("#newmail").val();
if (curpass == '' || newmail == '')
{
alert("Please fill all the forms before submitting!");
}
else
{
// Returns successful data submission message when the entered information is stored in database.
$.post("http://r4ge.ro/php/security.php", {
curpass: curpass,
newmail: newmail
}, function(data3) {
alert(data3);
$('#mailform')[0].reset(); // To reset form fields
});
}
}
I'm guessing here but... I imagine you are doing something like
...<button onclick="sendreg">...
And you have your <script> in the bottom on the code. Just put them on top or use $("#mybtn").click(sendreg)
Try using $("#mybtn").click(sendreg) instead of inline onclick.
The script wasn't called in the html. sorry for wasting time. A simple
<script src="js/registerform.js"></script> Fixed it.
There is no syntax error there, and I don't see any such error when trying the page.
The error that you get is that you can't make a cross domain call. Do the request to the same domain:
$.post("http://www.r4ge.ro/php/register.php", {
or:
$.post("/php/register.php", {
This form keeps on submitting even if it executes the return value, what is the problem with my code?
function formhash (form, password)
{
var pass1 = document.getElementById("password").value;
var pass2 = document.getElementById("cpassword").value;
var ok = true;
if (password != cpassword) {
//alert("Passwords Do not match");
document.getElementById("password").style.borderColor = "#E34234";
document.getElementById("cpassword").style.borderColor = "#E34234";
ok = false;
return;
}
else
{
$.post('insert_home.php'
{PRIMAID:PRIMAID,EDITCAP:EDITCAP,EDITIMG:EDITIMG,EB_TITLE:EB_TITLE}).done(function(data){
alert ("Book Successfully Updated");
location.reload();
});
var p = document.createElement("input");
form.appendChild(p);
p.name="p";
p.type="hidden";
p.value=hex_sha512(password.value);
password.value="";
form.submit();
}
}
You are calling form.submit();, remove it and it won't submit.
You are using the wrong variable names "password" and cpassword". You created pass1 and pass2 so you need to use those.
Change to this:
//You were using the WRONG variable names
if (pass1 != pass2) {
//alert("Passwords Do not match");
document.getElementById("password").style.borderColor = "#E34234";
document.getElementById("cpassword").style.borderColor = "#E34234";
ok = false;
return false;
}
I don't see where formhash() is used.
The code calls the submit, not the function.
If it submits the form, it' because it's falling in the else condition.
Add lots of "console.log("debug_X")" where "X" is a number different each time.
You have to add inside a console.log the value of pass1 and pass2.
Maybe you are passign a value instead of an object or maybe the reversed situation can happen also.
My instinct tells me to check both password object, and their values.
Also it tells me that you didn't check the content of pass1 and pass2 before posting a comment to Don Rhummy.
Check carefully and please search more before posting your next answer.
You can have the value by doing "console.log(pass1);" and by opening firebug and by checking the javascript console.
Remove Action attribute from Form.
I’m trying to get the value of the first value pair from a form submission via AJAX. Here’s what the var Formdata looks like (id=4&name=somename&blah=blah). How do I get the id value of 4? As you can see I was trying several ways but had no luck. Any suggestion would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
$("#updatetask").validate({
submitHandler: function() {
var formdata = $('#updatetask').serialize();
var fistkey = formdata.split("&",1);
var tester = fistkey.slice(-1);
alert(tester);
/*
$.post('/tasks/AJAXupdate', $('#updatetask').serialize(), function(data){
var returnMsg = data.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
if (returnMsg == 'error'){
alert(returnMsg+': Unable to update task.');
}else{
parent.$.fancybox.close();
}
});*/
return false;
}
});
});
Can't you simply $('#updatetask :input:eq(0)').val() instead of serializing it and parsing the string?
