We are using a script that allows us to to change the follow up URLS of a form dynamically so we can use the same form across multiple assets but have different follow up pages.
The issue is that script only works when it loads the form itself rather than bringing it in via the visual editor. If we adjust the code as per the instructions on the developer site to make it work with the visual editor, it stops working.
We need to bring the form in via the editor because we have another script that only works on forms that are loaded in that manner. This script opens the follow up page in the parent window rather than the iframe.
Can you provide any suggestions?
Here's the code for the script:
Dynamic follow up URL:
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
MktoForms2.whenReady(function(form){
//Add an onSuccess handler
form.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl){
//Take the lead to a different page on successful submit, ignoring the form's configured followUpUrl.
location.href = "http://solutions.healthcaresource.com/2346-staff-assessment-thank-you.html";
//return false to prevent the submission handler continuing with its own processing
return false;
});
});// ]]>
Use document.getElementById('iframe_id').src (given an iframe with an id of 'iframe_id'):
location.href = "http://solutions.healthcaresource.com/2346-staff-assessment-thank-you.html";
To this
document.getElementById('iframe_id').src = "http://solutions.healthcaresource.com/2346-staff-assessment-thank-you.html";
You can add Marketo variable to be able to give dynamic followup link.
Add following meta for variable, and use it in script. Code will be like this in your landing page.
<meta class="mktoString" id="ThankyouPage" mktoName="Follow-up Page" default="Add dynamic followup page here" allowHtml="false">
<script>
MktoForms2.whenReady(function (form) {
form.onSuccess(function(values, followUpUrl) {
location.href = ${ThankyouPage};
return false;
});
});
</script>

I have a PHP page with implementation of jQuery horizontal tabs. I have added a jQuery script so that the page URL reflects the tab#. I have a form on the page and upon form submission I need to refresh and stay on this same page to include the jQuery correct tab number.
This is the code to add the jQuery tab number to the URL:
<script>
jQuery(function($) {
$("<p>").html("Loaded at " + new Date()).appendTo(
document.body
);
showTab(location.hash || "#tabs-1");
$("#nav a").click(function() {
var hash = this.getAttribute("href");
if (hash.substring(0, 1) === "#") {
hash = hash.substring(1);
}
location.hash = hash;
showTab(hash);
return false;
});
function showTab(hash) {
$("div.tab").hide();
$("#tab-" + hash).show();
}
});
</script>
The full URL of the page is http://somedomain.com/includes/nonadmin_user_profile.php#tabs-5 and includes the tab number for the jQuery horizontal tab.
I am using this script to refresh and stay on the same page: echo "<script>window.location=window.location</script>";
On refresh here is the problem as it lands at this URL which does not include the tab number. http://somedomain.com/includes/nonadmin_user_profile.php
Any suggestions would be appreciated very much.
Here is another detail: The problem described above does not occur if I merely refresh the page with the browser refresh button or if I right click the page and refresh. In this instance the page refreshes and stays on the full url with the tab#.
Per Disaster Faster's request, the issue encountered was simply that the browser was not going to the desired location of the page. The form data was successfully submitted and correct page was loaded.
The solution to his issue was modifying the form's action attribute to include the location information (similar to adding location information to an anchor).
Original:
<form action="nonadmin_user_profile.php" method="post">
New:
<form action="nonadmin_user_profile.php#tabs-5" method="post">
Original Post:
The window.location = window.location redirect should include the location information.
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/6dqcmh9d/
If you click the button first, it'll report the URL with the location information because it hasn't been added to the URL. Then click the link and re-click the button. You'll receive the URL with the location information added.
If you want just the location information, you can use window.location.hash, but this will only produce the location on the page, not the URL of the page.
The problem you'll run into will be with the form submission. To submit a form without changing the page, you'll either have to submit the form to a new window (add target="_blank" to the form) or implement AJAX. In either case, we'd need a little more of your code to help with integrating it properly.
It is likely that the tab controls are being handled with onclick events or something similar, and are not listening for hash changes onload. You'll likely need to add some custom JS to force the tab change if there's a hash change.
What's wrong with using the reload() method?
document.location.reload(true);
From the docs:
The Location.reload() method Reloads the resource from the current
URL. Its optional unique parameter is a Boolean, which, when it is
true, causes the page to always be reloaded from the server. If it is
false or not specified, the browser may reload the page from its
cache.
If you need to integrate it into a PHP echo struct, use:
echo '<script>document.location.reload(true);</script>';
You should use reload() to refresh the page, eg:
window.location.reload();
Or given your example:
echo "<script>window.location.reload();</script>";
I embedded three different customized mailchimp forms in an html page that point to one list (each form has two similar fields and one different hidden field).
Everything works excluding one thing. The responses messages (success or error) are displayed in the same page in the div #mce-response only for the first form. In the other two the responses are loaded and displayed in another blank page. I'd like to have the reponses displayed in the same page for all the three forms.
I'm not a Java Script user but after a bit of research I found that this deals with the external script:
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js'></script>
Is there any solution through mailchimp settings or we have to use JavaScript file?
I understood that this script is valid only for the first form.
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks
Apparently using iframes works.
Please refer to this article/video.
Text from the article for explanation:
Instead of pasting the code from the Signup Form Embed Code page into your site, paste it into a text document (using NotePad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac)) and call it “signup-form.html” or something like that. You may want to wrap the form in a div for styling and add some inline styles. So the HTML document will look something like this:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
lots of CSS to make your form look pretty
//-->
</style>
<div id="sign-up">
at least 50 lines of code copied from MailChimp goes here
</div>
Then upload this HTML document (“signup-form.html” or whatever you called it) to somewhere on your server.
Then in order to embed the code on the page (as many times as you want) you call the HTML in with an iframe like this:
<iframe src="http://your-site.com/mailchimp-form.html" frameborder="0" width="654" height="200">
Anchor text saying "click here to sign up" or something like that for people whose browsers can't read iframes
</iframe>
Use Ajax Chimp. This will (1) prevent redirecting your subscribers away from your page and (2) allow multiple forms.
https://github.com/scdoshi/jquery-ajaxchimp
If you wrap each mailchimp form in a ...., then run this script on the page, it will re-assign all IDs of the non-focused form, and re-bind the submit event. A bit hacky, but it works if you're in a bind.
// only execute if confirmed more than 1 mailchimp form on this page
$(document).ready(function() {
if ( $('.mc-form-instance').length > 1 ) {
$('.mc-field-group > .required').on('focus', function() {
var thisField = $(this);
// backup all mc-form ids on this page
$('.mc-form-instance [id]').each(function() {
var currentID = $(this).attr('id');
if ( currentID.indexOf('-bak') == -1 ) {
$(this).attr('id', currentID + '-bak');
}
});
// change the current form ids back to original state
var thisForm = thisField.closest('.mc-form-instance');
thisForm.find('[id]').each(function() {
var currentID = $(this).attr('id');
if ( currentID.indexOf('-bak') != -1 ) {
$(this).attr('id', currentID.replace('-bak', ''));
}
});
});
// re-bind
$.getScript('//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js');
}
});
Is it possible to load an external web page like 'http://www.google.com' and then append my own HTML/JS code to the end of it (e.g. to run a function)?? Surely there is a way to load an external page then add a little bit of my own code after it? Something like this:
<html>
<script>
document.location.href="http://www.google.com/"; //Load external page
function myscript() {
...blahblah
}
</script>
<button onclick="myscript();">Click me</button>
</html>
I'd like that button to be at the bottom of the external page. Please do not suggest parsing methods in php. I've tried doing this by parsing the page first in php then appending my own script to it and echoing as I described here:
Append HTML to page after redirect
This works for simple pages where there are no re-directs or when the final external page can be parsed properly. The problem is that I can't properly parse the external page. The code that is parsed doesn't seem to function without the code from previous pages (before the re-directs). I need to do this without parsing/scraping/crawling.
Thanks!
EDIT: I've tried displaying the external page in an iframe as suggested by Amadan:
<script>
function myscript() {
...blahblah
}
</script>
<iframe src="http://www.google.com/"></iframe>
<button onclick="myscript();">Click me</button>
</html>
However, in firefox it just displays a blank box but in IE it says "This content cannot be displayed in a frame: To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
Any way I can get around this?
EDIT 2:
I've included jquery and the cross domain script here (https://github.com/padolsey/jquery.fn/blob/master/cross-domain-ajax/jquery.xdomainajax.js). This is the code I'm using now to get the contents using ajax. How would I go from that to actually displaying the content in the webpage? Sorry I'm really bad with ajax/jquery!
function test () {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://www.google.com/',
type: 'GET',
success: function(res) {
var content = $(res.responseText).text();
alert(content);
}
});
}
You can't append anything to a page you don't control except by installing a browser extension (which then works only for the clients where your extension installed).
You can include the contents of a page you don't control inside your own page (in two main ways: client-side iframe and server-side pull), but you seem to be saying this is not what you want.
Try something like this:
var html = '';
$.ajax({
uri: 'http://ya.ru',
method: 'POST',
success: function(data){
htmlx = data;
}
});
About manipulating html inside an variable
var test = $("<div/>");
test.append(html);
test.find(".innertest");
// When I'm ready to append it..
$('#container').append(test);
If it doesn't work, you can use another page on your server for getting a remote page and use ajax to request it.
I am working on a webpage that uses a JQuery UI dialog (in modal mode) to display a form that is dynamically generated using Django. The basic flow is:
the user clicks a button
jquery (using AJAX) issues a get request that returns the html for the form which is then used to fill the dialog
The html contains a script tag that handles some UI on the form which loads fine and works as expected
the user than fills out the form and clicks "Done" and the form is submitted.
The issue comes in when the user makes an error on the form. The server responds to the post request (that submits the form) with the original form (including the script) modified to show the errors. This second time the script is loaded it gets a "Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined (anonymous function)" The script is exactly the same as before when it worked fine. To be clear throughout this entire process the page is never refreshed.
Here is the gist of the javascript that takes care of the modal:
var add_container = $("#add_container");
add_container.dialog({...})
function show_form(form,response_func) {
add_container.html(form);
add_container.dialog("open");
$("#add_form").submit(function (event) {
return submit_form($(this),response_func);
});
}
function submit_form(form,response_func) {
add_container.append('<p>Adding...</p>');
//this is a trick to upload a file without reloading the page
form.attr('target','upload_target');
$('#upload_target').load(function() {
var response = $('#upload_target').contents().find('body').html();
add_container.dialog("close");
resp_obj = $(response)
if (resp_obj.is('form')) {
//***this is what reloads the form when there is an error
show_form(response,response_func);
} else {
response_func(resp_obj);
}
});
}
$('#add_link').click(add_link);
function add_link() {
$.get('/add_link', function(data) {
function add_response(response) {
//handle successful submission
}
show_form(data,add_response);
});
}
//...more stuff that is not important
This is the gist of the html returned from /add_link
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/add_form.js" ></script>
<form id="add_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/add_link/" method="post">
<!-- Dynamically generated form here !-->
</form>
The add_form.js is a pretty standard javascript file that uses jQuery. Its starts with $(document).ready(function () {...} ) and the first $ is where the ReferenceError occurs
The form needs to be dynamically generated based on what is clicked so I can't just put everything statically on the page. The script is not dynamically generated so it doesn't necessarily need to be dynamically loaded but I wasn't sure how to keep it in its own file, and also only have it run when the form is loaded. I am open to suggestions of alternative ways to accomplish the same effect.
Your form action is pointing to a different relative path to the one containing the jQuery framework script, etc.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/add_form.js" ></script>
<!-- src="/scripts" -->
<form id="add_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/add_link/" method="post">
<!-- action="/add_link" -->
To make sure it's loading the framework after the form submission, just use something like the developer tools on your browser and check the head tag for the jQuery script src. Is it still there?
Thanks to MelanciaUK I realized that when I submitted my form to the iFrame the response was getting sent first to there where the script would run and error because the iFrame is treated as its own page and doesn't have access to jQuery loaded on the main page.
I decided to solve the problem by eliminating the dynamic loading of the add_form script and simply load it when the page loads just like all my other scripts. I created a custom jQuery event (using .trigger) in order to only have the script run when the add form is opened. This worked exactly the way I wanted it to.
Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
I have the following code that loads a login page into my
single page web site when a user clicks on the login button. The href in this case calls a MVC4 controller and this returns a partial view with the HTML.
$('#loginLink')
.click(function () {
var $link = $(this);
var href = $link.attr('data-href');
$('#article').load(href);
}
return false;
});
But I also need to have some additional Javascript loaded
from the server. Can someone tell me how I can do this as the page is loaded. Rather than at the start when all my javascript is loaded into the browser.
Here's my MVC4 code for the login page:
#model WebUx.Models.LoginModel
<section id="content" class="grid_9">
........
</section>
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
Here's the C# code for the javascript bundle:
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive*",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"));
Even if the scripts render then it seems they are not added to the web page when I check with the chrome developer tools. Ideally I don't want them to be inline. I would like them loaded as normal js that the browser can check against its js cache.
The scripts are actually added. In your particular case you are adding the jquery unobtrusive validation scripts and I guess that they do not work for you because you haven't called the $.validator.unobtrusive.parse method once you injected the new contents into the DOM:
So make sure that you have registered all newly added elements to the DOM with the unobtrusive validation framework:
$('#loginLink').click(function () {
var $link = $(this);
var href = $link.attr('data-href');
$('#article').load(href, function() {
$('form').removeData('validator');
$('form').removeData('unobtrusiveValidation');
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('form');
});
return false;
});
To execute code you load with ajax, you can create a new tag with the code, and add it to the page. For instance :
$("#article").append("<script type='text/javascript' src='script.js'></script>");
should execute the content of "script.js" (provided there is an element with the id "#article" in the page).
In IE the tag has to be added to the page at the moment you want the script to be run (you can't just use .load on a script tag).
