I have an initial landing page which has 2 submit buttons on it. One button will display a specific set of results and the other button will display a different set.
Basically I am passing through the text value onto the next page for it to display some player biographys and reviews.
<form action="resultpage.html" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="playerName" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
I was wondering is it possible when I hit button 1 it will display my biography function information and only it, then when I hit button 2 it will display only the blogreviews functions' information.
$(document).ready(function() {
biography(files);
blogsreviews(files);
});
You can name the buttons and have jquery call the specific function on button click:
<form action="resultpage.html" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="playerName" />
<input type="submit" name="button1" value="Submit"/>
<input type="submit" name="button2" value="Submit"/>
</form>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input[name="button1"]').click(function() {biography(files)});
$('input[name="button2"]').click(function() {blogsreviews(files)});
});

If I have a simple html form with two submit buttons:
<form method="POST" class="submit_form main_form" action="myaction">
<input type="submit" name="goback" value="Go Back" />
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Confirm">
<input type="hidden" name="secret" value="hello"/>
</form>
It is possible to only post the hidden input if the "confirm" submit is clicked?
If the "goback" submit is clicked the hidden input should be ignored. I know how to accomplish this with JavaScript but was wondering if it can be done with just html.
For anyone wondering, this is how you do this in JavaScript:
<script>
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('submit_form');
elements[0].addEventListener(
'submit',
function(event) {
if(event.explicitOriginalTarget.name === 'goback'){
var hiddenInput = document.querySelector("input[name='step']");
hiddenInput.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
);
</script>
You could put the buttons in 2 separate forms:
<form method="POST" class="submit_form main_form" action="myaction">
<input type="submit" name="goback" value="Go Back" />
</form>
<form method="POST" class="submit_form main_form" action="myaction">
<input type="submit" name="confirm" value="Confirm">
<input type="hidden" name="secret" value="hello"/>
</form>
That way the secret field will only be posted if the confirm button is clicked.
If you want to do it in the php code you can leave your form as is
and check if isset($_POST["confirm"]) to check if the confirm button was the one clicked.
i am trying to create a form which needs to be filled with 9 numeric digits. I would like the submit button to be disabled untill the form is filled exactly with 9 digits. I have found many scripts with button disabled untill form is filled but not with specific length. Could you please help me?
<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name='text1' maxlength="9" class="phone-input">
<input type="button" value="submit" onclick="phonenumber(document.form1.text1); changeDiv();"/>
</form>
Thank You!
You can try to use a pattern. Didn't try it, but it must be something like this:
<input pattern=".{9}">
As suggested by Markus, you can use the pattern attribute to validate the input (specify \d to allow only digits), in addition to required. The validity.valid property of the text field can then be used to enable/disable the button in the input event handler:
<form name="form1">
<input id="txtPhone" type="text" name='text1' pattern="\d{9}" required maxlength="9" class="phone-input" >
<input id="btnSubmit" type="button" value="submit" disabled="disabled" />
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById("txtPhone").addEventListener("input", function () {
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = !this.validity.valid;
});
</script>
document.getElementById("txtPhone").addEventListener("input", function () {
document.getElementById("btnSubmit").disabled = !this.validity.valid;
});
<form name="form1">
<input id="txtPhone" type="text" name='text1' pattern="\d{9}" required maxlength="9" class="phone-input" >
<input id="btnSubmit" type="button" value="submit" onclick="alert('Submit!');" disabled="disabled" />
</form>
I have a fairly simple HTML form which has a number of HTML input buttons on it (input type="button"). The buttons use a small piece of JavaScript to change the displayed value when clicked (Yes and No). I am happy with this functionality but would like to know the best way to record the values for later submission into a database.
I have this at the moment:
<script>
function toggleynquestion(button)
{
if(document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value=="Yes"){
document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value="No";}
else if(document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value=="No"){
document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value="Yes";}
}
</script>
<form method="post" action="ynquestion_submit.php" name="yn_submit">
<p> Yes or No question :
<input type="button" name="yn_question" id="yn_toggle" value="Yes" onclick="toggleynquestion(this);"/>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
You can always use hidden form elements, they will get sent to the server just like text inputs:
function toggleynquestion(button)
{
if(document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value=="Yes"){
document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value="No";
document.getElementById("yn_answer").value="No";
} else if(document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value=="No"){
document.getElementById("yn_toggle").value="Yes";
document.getElementById("yn_answer").value="Yes";
}
}
<form method="post" action="ynquestion_submit.php" name="yn_submit">
<p> Yes or No question :
<input type="button" name="yn_question" id="yn_toggle" value="Yes" onclick="toggleynquestion(this);"/>
<input type="hidden" name="yn_answer" id="yn_answer" value="Yes" />
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
I have a form with ,
In the form after user clicks on Submit , he will be taken to another page which would show all the data entered, Which would allow the user to verify the content.(User will have a look at the content , to see what he entered is correct).
Once user verifies he would submit the data and Insert to DB should be done.
I want to know a method in which i could carry on the approach, to do this.
How can i implement this
EDIT MORE EXPLAIN
addemp.php
The Main Div With Form
<div class="panel-body">
<form>
Employee : <input Type="text" id="name">
<input type="submit" value="check">
</div>
The Second Div in the same form should show once submit is clicked
<div class="submit panel-body">
<form>
Employee : <Employee Name asin main div>
<input type="submit" > <--! this submit would post data
</form>
</div>
how to pass the value from 1st div to the second , and from the second INSERT to db.how can i do without page refresh ?
Use following script on location file
$action='';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
//create form here
//Change the action of form
$action = 'save.php';
}
echo '<form method="POST" action="'.$action.'">
<input type="text" name="nric" value="'.isset($_POST['nric'])?$_POST['nric'].'" />
<input type="text" name="empName" value="'.isset($_POST['empName'])?$_POST['empName'].'" />
<input type="text" name="location" value="'.isset($_POST['location'])?$_POST['location'].'" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>';
EDIT: You don't need to use a form in this case. You can simply use JQuery to show the data from text boxes in a DIV and a button that will POST the data for you on the server.
<input type="text" name="nric" id="nric" />
<input type="text" name="empName" id="empName" />
<input type="text" name="location" id="location" />
<input id="sndData" type="button" value="Submit" />
<div id="showData"></div>
JQuery:
$('#sndData').click(function(){
var makeData = "<p>NRIC: "+$('#nric').val()+"</p><p>Employee Name: "+$('#empName').val()+"</p><p>Location: "+$('#location').val()+"</p>";
$('#showData').html(makeData);
});
When you've done that, just create/show a HTML button that will POST the data for you.

I have many forms like the following on the page. Now I want change the form action based on which submit button the user clicked (and of course submit the form)
<form action="/shop/products.php" data-ajax="false" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input name="submit" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input name="submit" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
</div>
</form>
I tried with
$(".obtn").click(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().attr("action", "/shop/products.php");
});
$(".oEbtn").click(function() {
$(this).parent().parent().attr("action", "/shop/extras.php");
});
but the form is always submited to products.php. Can you tell me what's wrong?
Instead of setting the action attribute on the form itself, consider setting formaction attribute on each individual input element.
Docs: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.submit.html#input.submit.attrs.formaction
<form data-ajax="false" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input formaction="/shop/products.php"
name="submit" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input formaction="/shop/extras.php"
name="submit" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
</div>
</form>
There are two typos:
obtn instead of obutn
oEbtn instead of oEbutn
Another suggestion is to use closest("form") to get the form that contains the clicked button.
$(".obutn").click(function() {
$(this).closest("form").attr("action", "/shop/products.php");
});
$(".oEbutn").click(function() {
$(this).closest("form").attr("action", "/shop/extras.php");
});
$("form").on("submit", function () {
alert($(this).attr("action"));
});
JSFIDDLE
Capture the submit event and determine which button was clicked. From that, you can change the action of the form.
Here's a link on how to do that.
How can I get the button that caused the submit from the form submit event?
Also, don't give the form the action until the click happens at all, it is superfluous.
<form data-ajax="false" method="post">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input name="submit" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input name="submit" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
</div>
</form>
What if you try it out with a switch instead? Something like:
<input name="submit" id = "1" class="obutn" type="submit" value="Order" />
<input name="submit" id = "2" class="oEbutn" type="submit" value="Extras" />
And then in JavaScript we have:
//param: The Id attr of the button that was clicked
function postTo(id){
switch(id){
case 1: postProducts();
break;
case 2: postExtras();
break;
default: //Do something else
}
}
Just an idea. Haven´t tested that yet, but maybe it could be helpful. I hope so.
