On my site I have a modal window (Bootstrap) that can be shown by clicking a few buttons with such markup:
Click me!
...
Click me!
...
Click me!
My modal window has this peace of code:
<form data-formname="Hero Section" class="forms">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="phone">Ваш телефон</label>
<input type="tel" id="phone" class="form-control phone" placeholder="Please enter your phone number:">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Send</button>
</form>
And JS:
$(".forms").on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var data = {
phone: $(this).find(".phone").val(),
formname: $(this).data('formname'),
// datalink: ???
};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "contact.php",
data: data
});
return false;
});
In addition to phone and formname, I want to get a button's data-link. Obviously, I can't use event.relatedTarget inside $(".forms").on('submit', function(e) {...});. Any thoughts?
You can use get the source in the show.bs.modal event handler
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
var source = $(e.relatedTarget);
//Persist it for later use
$(this).data('relatedTarget', source)
});
Now, You can use it to retrieve source element in the form submit event handler and get the data-link
$(".forms").on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var source = $('#myModal').data('relatedTarget');
var datalink = $(source).data('link');
});
Side note: Identifiers in HTML must be unique, remove duplicate id="btn"
I've had a little bit of a rough go on uploading files through angular and have settled on the following solution:
$scope.uploadFile = function(files) {
var fd = new FormData();
//Take the first selected file
fd.append("file", files[0]);
console.log($scope.files);
$http.post('../resource/editor', fd, {
withCredentials: true,
headers: {'Content-Type': undefined },
transformRequest: angular.identity
}).then(function(data){
//this keeps the user from having to refresh the page
DataContext.getEditors().then(function(data){
$scope.myData = data;
});
}).catch(function(reason){
});
};
<form name="myForm" >
<input type="file" name="file" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().uploadFile(this.files)"/>
<input type="submit" ng-click="uploadFile()" value='Submit'/>
</form>
The current behavior is that as soon as the user selects a file, that file begins to upload. My intent is that on the click event of the button that user will upload the file. What am I missing to accomplish this?
It looks like you're calling uploadFile() when your file input changes. That's why it's happening immediately. If you need to know what files are selected, add a statement to update some model data onchange:
<input type="file" name="file" onchange="$scope.files = this.files"/>
Then change your uploadFile() method so that it uses the $scope.files variable:
$scope.uploadFile = function() {
...
//Take the first selected file
fd.append("file", $scope.files[0]);
...
};
Hope this helps!
You are calling upload file on the change of the input I would give the input a modal and pass that value to the upload file of the button click.
<form name="myForm" >
<input type="file" name="file" ng-model="fileNames" />
<input type="submit" ng-click="uploadFile(fileName)" value='Submit'/>
</form>
Hi I am facing a problem on button click. I have a button outside the form due to some reason. On the click i have to validate the form and proceed to the next tab. But right now I have to click twice the button even if the form is valid. What's the issue right now?
script.js
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#step-2-form').submit(function(e)
{
var $as = $(this);
if($as.valid()){
e.preventDefault();
$('#dgstoneVariable').edatagrid('reload');
return document.getElementById('n.3').click();
}
if(!$as.valid()){
}
});
$('#step-2-form').validate({
rules: {
contactname2field: {
required: true
},
jobtitle2field: {
required: true
},
telephone2field: {
required: true
},
email2field: {
email: true,
required: true
},
cityfield: {
required: true
}
}
});
});
</script>
In registration.php I have three tab on 2nd tab I have a a structure as follows:
<form class="form-horizontal" id="step-2-form">
</form>
<form target="upload_target" id="fileupload" method="post" action="<?php echo site_url('upload_file/upload_it'); ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
....
....
//Here is a code of file upload. If the user browse and uploads the file then have to click continue button once to move onward. But if the user doesnt upload the files then he has to click the button twice to continue to step 3. (ANY IDEA ...???)
<button id="btnupload" style="padding: 4.5px; float:left;margin-top: 30px;border-radius: 0px;" disabled="disabled" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-upload"></span></button>
</form>
<button form="step-2-form" type="submit" class="btn btn-success" id="tab-2-cont">CONTINUE</button>
The above button validtes the first form and then proceeds further. I have to place it outside because of the file uploading form.
I would suggest you to handle submit event
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#step-2-form').submit(function(e) {
var $as = $(this);
if(!$as.valid()){
e.preventDefault();
// Your error Message
}
});
});
To Associate button with your from you can use form attribute of button
The form element that the button is associated with (its form owner). The value of the attribute must be the id attribute of a element in the same document. If this attribute is not specified, the element must be a descendant of a form element. This attribute enables you to place elements anywhere within a document, not just as descendants of their elements.
So add form attribute. You don't need your button to be a descendant of a form element
<button form="step-2-form" id="tab-2-cont" type="submit" class="btn btn-success">CONTINUE</button>
A good read HTML5′s New “form” Attribute
Use .submit() mehtod to submit the form.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tab-2-cont').click(function() {
var $as = $('#step-2-form');
if($as.valid()){
$as.submit();
}
else
{
// alert("Not valid");
}
});
First when you put a submit button inside form. it will trigger submit event. So if you want to validate data before submit. prevent that event.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tab-2-cont').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var $as = $('#step-2-form');
if($as.valid()){
$as.submit();
}
else
{
// error messages
}
});
Your question is very unclear, Try this move your button inside your form.
I currently have a HTML form which users fill in details of an advert they wish to post. I now want to be able to add a dropzone for uploading images of the item for sale.
I have found Dropzone.js which seems to do most of what I need. However, when looking into the documentation, it appears that you need to specify the class of the whole form as dropzone (as opposed to just the input element). This then means that my entire form becomes the dropzone.
Is it possible to use the dropzone in just part of my form, i.e. by only specifying the element as class "dropzone", rather than the whole form?
I could use separate forms, but I want the user to be able to submit it all with one button.
Alternatively, is there another library that can do this?
Many thanks
Here's another way to do it: add a div in your form with a classname dropzone, and implement dropzone programmatically.
HTML :
<div id="dZUpload" class="dropzone">
<div class="dz-default dz-message"></div>
</div>
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
$("#dZUpload").dropzone({
url: "hn_SimpeFileUploader.ashx",
addRemoveLinks: true,
success: function (file, response) {
var imgName = response;
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
console.log("Successfully uploaded :" + imgName);
},
error: function (file, response) {
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-error");
}
});
});
Note : Disabling autoDiscover, otherwise Dropzone will try to attach twice
I had the exact same problem and found that Varan Sinayee's answer was the only one that actually solved the original question. That answer can be simplified though, so here's a simpler version.
The steps are:
Create a normal form (don't forget the method and enctype args since this is not handled by dropzone anymore).
Put a div inside with the class="dropzone" (that's how Dropzone attaches to it) and id="yourDropzoneName" (used to change the options).
Set Dropzone's options, to set the url where the form and files will be posted, deactivate autoProcessQueue (so it only happens when user presses 'submit') and allow multiple uploads (if you need it).
Set the init function to use Dropzone instead of the default behavior when the submit button is clicked.
Still in the init function, use the "sendingmultiple" event handler to send the form data along wih the files.
Voilà ! You can now retrieve the data like you would with a normal form, in $_POST and $_FILES (in the example this would happen in upload.php)
HTML
<form action="upload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input type="text" id ="firstname" name ="firstname" />
<input type="text" id ="lastname" name ="lastname" />
<div class="dropzone" id="myDropzone"></div>
<button type="submit" id="submit-all"> upload </button>
</form>
JS
Dropzone.options.myDropzone= {
url: 'upload.php',
autoProcessQueue: false,
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 5,
maxFiles: 5,
maxFilesize: 1,
acceptedFiles: 'image/*',
addRemoveLinks: true,
init: function() {
dzClosure = this; // Makes sure that 'this' is understood inside the functions below.
// for Dropzone to process the queue (instead of default form behavior):
document.getElementById("submit-all").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
// Make sure that the form isn't actually being sent.
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
dzClosure.processQueue();
});
//send all the form data along with the files:
this.on("sendingmultiple", function(data, xhr, formData) {
formData.append("firstname", jQuery("#firstname").val());
formData.append("lastname", jQuery("#lastname").val());
});
}
}
The "dropzone.js" is the most common library for uploading images.
If you want to have the "dropzone.js" as just part of your form, you should do the following steps:
1) for the client side:
HTML :
<form action="/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
<input type="text" id ="Username" name ="Username" />
<div class="dropzone" id="my-dropzone" name="mainFileUploader">
<div class="fallback">
<input name="file" type="file" multiple />
</div>
</div>
</form>
<div>
<button type="submit" id="submit-all"> upload </button>
</div>
JQuery:
<script>
Dropzone.options.myDropzone = {
url: "/Account/Create",
autoProcessQueue: false,
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 100,
maxFiles: 100,
acceptedFiles: "image/*",
init: function () {
var submitButton = document.querySelector("#submit-all");
var wrapperThis = this;
submitButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
wrapperThis.processQueue();
});
this.on("addedfile", function (file) {
// Create the remove button
var removeButton = Dropzone.createElement("<button class='btn btn-lg dark'>Remove File</button>");
// Listen to the click event
removeButton.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
// Make sure the button click doesn't submit the form:
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
// Remove the file preview.
wrapperThis.removeFile(file);
// If you want to the delete the file on the server as well,
// you can do the AJAX request here.
});
// Add the button to the file preview element.
file.previewElement.appendChild(removeButton);
});
this.on('sendingmultiple', function (data, xhr, formData) {
formData.append("Username", $("#Username").val());
});
}
};
</script>
2) for the server side:
ASP.Net MVC
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create()
{
var postedUsername = Request.Form["Username"].ToString();
foreach (var imageFile in Request.Files)
{
}
return Json(new { status = true, Message = "Account created." });
}
I have a more automated solution for this.
HTML:
<form role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{{ $url }}" method="{{ $method }}">
{{ csrf_field() }}
<!-- You can add extra form fields here -->
<input hidden id="file" name="file"/>
<!-- You can add extra form fields here -->
<div class="dropzone dropzone-file-area" id="fileUpload">
<div class="dz-default dz-message">
<h3 class="sbold">Drop files here to upload</h3>
<span>You can also click to open file browser</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- You can add extra form fields here -->
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
JavaScript:
Dropzone.options.fileUpload = {
url: 'blackHole.php',
addRemoveLinks: true,
accept: function(file) {
let fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.readAsDataURL(file);
fileReader.onloadend = function() {
let content = fileReader.result;
$('#file').val(content);
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-success");
}
file.previewElement.classList.add("dz-complete");
}
}
Laravel:
// Get file content
$file = base64_decode(request('file'));
No need to disable DropZone Discovery and the normal form submit will be able to send the file with any other form fields through standard form serialization.
This mechanism stores the file contents as base64 string in the hidden input field when it gets processed. You can decode it back to binary string in PHP through the standard base64_decode() method.
I don't know whether this method will get compromised with large files but it works with ~40MB files.
Enyo's tutorial is excellent.
I found that the sample script in the tutorial worked well for a button embedded in the dropzone (i.e., the form element). If you wish to have the button outside the form element, I was able to accomplish it using a click event:
First, the HTML:
<form id="my-awesome-dropzone" action="/upload" class="dropzone">
<div class="dropzone-previews"></div>
<div class="fallback"> <!-- this is the fallback if JS isn't working -->
<input name="file" type="file" multiple />
</div>
</form>
<button type="submit" id="submit-all" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs">Upload the file</button>
Then, the script tag....
Dropzone.options.myAwesomeDropzone = { // The camelized version of the ID of the form element
// The configuration we've talked about above
autoProcessQueue: false,
uploadMultiple: true,
parallelUploads: 25,
maxFiles: 25,
// The setting up of the dropzone
init: function() {
var myDropzone = this;
// Here's the change from enyo's tutorial...
$("#submit-all").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
myDropzone.processQueue();
});
}
}
Further to what sqram was saying, Dropzone has an additional undocumented option, "hiddenInputContainer". All you have to do is set this option to the selector of the form you want the hidden file field to be appended to. And voila! The ".dz-hidden-input" file field that Dropzone normally adds to the body magically moves into your form. No altering the Dropzone source code.
Now while this works to move the Dropzone file field into your form, the field has no name. So you will need to add:
_this.hiddenFileInput.setAttribute("name", "field_name[]");
to dropzone.js after this line:
_this.hiddenFileInput = document.createElement("input");
around line 547.
I want to contribute an answer here as I too have faced the same issue - we want the $_FILES element available as part of the same post as another form. My answer is based on #mrtnmgs however notes the comments added to that question.
Firstly: Dropzone posts its data via ajax
Just because you use the formData.append option still means that you must tackle the UX actions - i.e. this all happens behind the scenes and isn't a typical form post. Data is posted to your url parameter.
Secondly: If you therefore want to mimic a form post you will need to store the posted data
This requires server side code to store your $_POST or $_FILES in a session which is available to the user on another page load as the user will not go to the page where the posted data is received.
Thirdly: You need to redirect the user to the page where this data is actioned
Now you have posted your data, stored it in a session, you need to display/action it for the user in an additional page. You need to send the user to that page as well.
So for my example:
[Dropzone code: Uses Jquery]
$('#dropArea').dropzone({
url: base_url+'admin/saveProject',
maxFiles: 1,
uploadMultiple: false,
autoProcessQueue:false,
addRemoveLinks: true,
init: function(){
dzClosure = this;
$('#projectActionBtn').on('click',function(e) {
dzClosure.processQueue(); /* My button isn't a submit */
});
// My project only has 1 file hence not sendingmultiple
dzClosure.on('sending', function(data, xhr, formData) {
$('#add_user input[type="text"],#add_user textarea').each(function(){
formData.append($(this).attr('name'),$(this).val());
})
});
dzClosure.on('complete',function(){
window.location.href = base_url+'admin/saveProject';
})
},
});
You can modify the formData by catching the 'sending' event from your dropzone.
dropZone.on('sending', function(data, xhr, formData){
formData.append('fieldname', 'value');
});
In order to submit all files alongside with other form data in a single request you can copy Dropzone.js temporary hidden input nodes into your form. You can do this within addedfiles event handler:
var myDropzone = new Dropzone("myDivSelector", { url: "#", autoProcessQueue: false });
myDropzone.on("addedfiles", () => {
// Input node with selected files. It will be removed from document shortly in order to
// give user ability to choose another set of files.
var usedInput = myDropzone.hiddenFileInput;
// Append it to form after stack become empty, because if you append it earlier
// it will be removed from its parent node by Dropzone.js.
setTimeout(() => {
// myForm - is form node that you want to submit.
myForm.appendChild(usedInput);
// Set some unique name in order to submit data.
usedInput.name = "foo";
}, 0);
});
Obviosly this is a workaround dependent on implementation details. Related source code.

var myDropzone = this;
this.element.querySelector("[type=submit]").addEventListener("click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
myDropzone.processQueue();
});
}
});
Here is my sample, is based on Django + Dropzone. View has select(required) and submit.
<form action="/share/upload/" class="dropzone" id="uploadDropzone">
{% csrf_token %}
<select id="warehouse" required>
<option value="">Select a warehouse</option>
{% for warehouse in warehouses %}
<option value={{forloop.counter0}}>{{warehouse.warehousename}}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
<button id="submit-upload btn" type="submit">upload</button>
</form>
<script src="{% static '/js/libs/dropzone/dropzone.js' %}"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
var filename = "";
Dropzone.options.uploadDropzone = {
paramName: "file", // The name that will be used to transfer the file,
maxFilesize: 250, // MB
autoProcessQueue: false,
accept: function(file, done) {
console.log(file.name);
filename = file.name;
done(); // !Very important
},
init: function() {
var myDropzone = this,
submitButton = document.querySelector("[type=submit]");
submitButton.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var isValid = document.querySelector('#warehouse').reportValidity();
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
if (isValid)
myDropzone.processQueue();
});
this.on('sendingmultiple', function(data, xhr, formData) {
formData.append("warehouse", jQuery("#warehouse option:selected").val());
});
}
};
</script>
This is just another example of how you can use Dropzone.js in an existing form.
dropzone.js :
init: function() {
this.on("success", function(file, responseText) {
//alert("HELLO ?" + responseText);
mylittlefix(responseText);
});
return noop;
},
Then, later in the file I put
function mylittlefix(responseText) {
$('#botofform').append('<input type="hidden" name="files[]" value="'+ responseText +'">');
}
This assumes you have a div with id #botofform that way when uploading you can use the uploaded files' names.
Note: my upload script returned theuploadedfilename.jpeg
dubblenote you also would need to make a cleanup script that checks the upload directory for files not in use and deletes them ..if in a front end non authenticated form :)
Try this
<div class="dropzone dz-clickable" id="myDrop">
<div class="dz-default dz-message" data-dz-message="">
<span>Drop files here to upload</span>
</div>
</div>
JS
<script>
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
Dropzone.default.autoDiscover=false;
$("div#myDrop").dropzone({
url: "/file/post",
});
</script>
