Lets say I have this: http://jsfiddle.net/oh0omatq/2/
<form>
<input placeholder="my value">Country
<button name="subject" type="submit" value="england">England</button>
<button name="subject" type="submit" value="wales">Wales</button>
<br />Your country is: Wales
<input type="submit">
</form>
Can I use this submit buttons for england and wales to set a value within the form, and reload the form, but also not loose the information already entered in the form, such as in the input box.
This above is just a preview, but I want to be able to reload and filter the input elements in the form depending on the button the user clicked, but also not loose any previously entered data in the fields.
I would recommend using javascript for this. I've edited your fiddle to use an onclick function.
<form>
<input placeholder="my value">
Country
<button name="subject" value="england" type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('value').innerHTML = this.value">England</button>
<button name="subject" value="wales" type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('value').innerHTML = this.value">Wales</button><br />
Your country is: <span id="value">Wales</span>
<input type="submit">
</form>
Changing the buttons to a type="button" so they don't submit the form allows the javascript to edit the value. Ofcourse you can make an input out of the span, allowing the chosen value to be sent with the form. Ofcourse, a select box would work as well then.
Would that do what you want?
You can see the edited fiddle here.
Keep in mind, this is a quick sketch. It is not recommended to use javascript inline.

i am trying to clear my form using clear button. but form validations are cleared well. but entered values not clear. please check my HTML code
<form class="form-horizontal" name="cashBenefitForm" novalidate="novalidate" ng-submit="save()">
<input type="text"
ng-pattern="/^(0?[1-9]|1[012])$/" ng-pattern-err-type="invalidMonth"
maxlength="2" ng-maxlength="2" size="2" ng-minlength="1"
placeholder="*No.of months" name="cbMonth"
ng-model="newcashbenifit.months"
class="form-control auto-width"/>
<button type="submit">Save </button>
<button type="button" ng-click="clear()"> Clear </button>
</form>
my clear function as below
$scope.clear= function () {
$scope.newcashbenifit = {}
$scope.cashBenefitForm.$setPristine();
}
when i enter invalid data to text box and after i clicked clear button. that moment error cleared. but text box value did not clear.
after clicked clear button, errors cleared. but text-box value did not clear. please check below image
how i clear my form correctly
I have a form as follows:
<form name="dummyform" id="dummyform">
<input type="text" name="dummyname">
<input type="submit" name="save_as_draft" id`="save_as_draft">
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send" hidden>
<button name="Dummysend" id="Dummysend">SEND DUMMY</button>
</form>
I want to trigger only the button with id send automatically when I click on the button with id Dummysend. I can do this by doing this JavaScript code:
document.getElementById("dummyform").submit();
The problem is that there are two submit buttons in this form. How can I only trigger the submit button with id send?
By input name, ID, context...
For example:
document.getElementById("send").click();
Watch out for your HTML too it has some syntax errors:
The 'action' attribute is required for elements.
'id`' is not a valid attribute of the element.
I am trying to get one input field that is higher up the page, move it's content to a form field at the bottom of the page and submit the form.
Please see what I have done here (doesn't work):
$('#move_down').click(function() {
$('#input_1').val($('#input_2').val())
});
<input type="text" id="input_1" value="">
<br>
<button id="move_down">Click Here</button>
<br>
<input type="text" id="input_2" value="">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.0.js"></script>
Moving the data is just the first part, I am also trying to get it to take the user down to the main form and submit it - is this possible with jQuery?
Updated the question to fix my silly error of omitting the ID selectors. Just need to figure out how to submit the form now.
You are right; just correct your query selector:
$('#move_down').click(function() {
$('#input_2').val($('#input_1').val())
});
http://jsfiddle.net/82x28ryr/4/
Missing the # prefix for id selector
Works fine doing
$('#move_down').click(function() {
$('#input_2').val($('#input_1').val())
});
<input type="text" id="input_1" value="">
<br>
<button id="move_down">Click Here</button>
<br>
<input type="text" id="input_2" value="">
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.0.js"></script>
As for "moving down" you have only provided html in demo for 2 inputs. You need to update question with all relevant html in order to implement additional features
When I submit form by using below function it is submitting but values are not passed through this function. I use all functions but nothing found:
document.getElementById("postad").submit();
Form is given below.
<form action="register.php" id="postad" method="post">
<input class="textfield2" type="text" id="post_title" style="width:640px;" placeholder="Ad Title" onBlur="check('post_title')" />
<input class="button" type="button" name="save" value="Publish" onclick="send();" />
</form>
Your form contains two form controls. Neither will be a successful control (i.e. one that appears in the submitted data), but for different reasons.
Only form controls with name attributes can be successful. Your text input doesn't have a name. (It also doesn't have a default value, so you need to type in it first).
Buttons can only be successful if they are the submit button used to submit the form. Your button isn't a submit button and you use JavaScript to submit the form.
There is no name attribute in your input text fields
<input name="post_title" class="textfield2" type="text" id="post_title" style="width:640px;" placeholder="Ad Title" onBlur="check('post_title')" />

Ive got a html form with a few select lists and a text box in it. I also have a submit button which is outside of the form. The reason for this is I want to construct the parameters myself, as I dont want the content of all of the select lists. The problem I am having is, that when I press my submit button,The form automaticly trys to redirect to the same page, but with a ? at the end with all the contents of the form. I am also having problems where window.location.href is not working inside the submit() javascript method, but I am not sure if this is caused by the form issue or not. Example code:
<form>
<input name="cName" type="text" class="input-xlarge" id="input01" placeholder=
"Enter title" />
<div class="control-group">
<hr />
<label class="control-label" for="select01">Select box 1</label>
<div class="controls">
<select id="select01" name="type" onChange="reportModification(this.value)">
<option>One</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<button class="btn btn-primary" onClick="next()">Next</button>
This is not the exact code from the page, just a replica.So it might not be valid html in some places. Thanks for the help :)
The reason you get parameters in the url is that a get request is used instead of a post request. you should use:
<form method="POST" action="">
Also why is your button outside the form? you could have this instead:
</div>
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Next" onClick="next()" />
</form>
I think your button has to be inside the form element. You could use an onsubmit in the form element to intercept the form before it gets sent to the server. Here you could manipulate the values before they go. You would also need an action attribute in the form. If your function returns true, the data will be submitted, false and it won't.
