I want to validate a form with my custom js function "isValid". I did something like this:
<input id="pricecondition" name="pricecondition" ng-model="user.pricecondition" ng-focus="user.pricecondition=''" required />
<button ng-click="submit()" ng-disabled="form.$invalid && user.isValid">submit</button>
But it seems that the view ng-disabled calls user.isValid only once.
This is the js code of my controller:
$scope.user = {
[...],
lenght: "",
pricecondition: "",
isValid : function()
{
return false;
}
};
So when the property length or price condition changes the value the function isValid is fired, but the button seems not to re-evaluate user.isValid. The button is enabled obviously the function isValid returns false.
How can I force ng-disabled or ng-show to call isVlaid() again?
greetings
you got another problem from your comment, sorry i didn't noticed that at first...
use formname and not tag name for disabling the button...
<form name="myform" novalidate >
// your html
<button ng-disabled="myform.$invalid">submit</button>
</form>
or if you have forms inside form then use ng-form
<form name="parentForm">
<div ng-form="myform1">
// your html
<button ng-disabled="myform1.$invalid">submit1</button>
</div>
<div ng-form="myform2">
// your html
<button ng-disabled="myform2.$invalid">submit2</button>
</div>
</form>
You must have a form element with a name attribute in order to use "form.$invalid".
Also i would make the button invalid if the form is invalid OR the user is invalid.
<form ng-submit="submit()" name="form" novalidate >
<input id="pricecondition" name="pricecondition" ng-model="user.pricecondition" ng-focus="user.pricecondition=''" required />
<button ng-disabled="form.$invalid || !user.isValid()">submit</button>
</form>

Apologies if this question isn't layed out correctly (my first time using stack overflow).
I'm trying to validate if my inputs on a form are filled in when a user presses submit, it alerts the user when the inputs are empty but also when they are not, I'm not sure whats going wrong. Here is my Javascript:
<script>
function validation() {
var x = document.forms["bookingForm"]["id"].value;
if (x == "") {
alert("Ensure all fileds are filled");
return false;
} else {
sendSMS();
alert("Success");
return true;
}
}
</script>
Here is a link to an expanded part of the code for reference:https://pastebin.com/Dj5fA3gB
The general syntax for accessing a form element and element's value are:
document.forms[number].elements[number]
document.forms[number].elements[number].value
If you are using submitButton as in and you are calling validation on onSubmit of the form then you need to call event.preventDefault();
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form onsubmit="validation()" name="bookingForm">
First Name: <input type="text" name="id" value="Donald"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" value="Duck">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
function validation() {
event.preventDefault();
var x = document.forms["bookingForm"]["id"].value;
if (x == "") {
alert("Ensure all fileds are filled");
return false;
} else {
sendSMS();
alert("Success");
return true;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
As suggested in my comment the most clean solution is to use the html attribute required by adding it to your inputs.
Looks something like this.
<form>
<input type="text" name="example" required>
<input type="submit" name="send">
</form>
The biggest advantage is that it works without any additional JS which is in my opinion always the prefered solution.
You didn't include return keyword in the form tag and adding unnecessary keyword "name" in the form tag.
<form onsubmit="return validation()" method="POST"
action="">
remove the "name" attribute from form tag and add action attribute.
Within the parenthesis in the action attribute, mention what happen if your validation success
Ex:(this code help you understand "action" attribute)
<form onsubmit="return productsvalidationform();" method="POST"
action="AddProductServlet">
when the form was successfully validated, I directed to AddProductServlet.(AddProductServlet is JSP servlet).
so that mention where do you need to redirect.
The whole form should not be valid until stuff[] has at least one item added to it. When the user enters in a value into the text box and then clicks add it then adds the value to stuff[], only at this point when a value has been added to stuff[] should the submit button be enabled. However, as soon as the user types anything into the text box without clicking add, and thus nothing in stuff[], it makes the form valid and enables the submit button.
<form ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl" name="myForm" ng-submit="submit()" novalidate>
<div ng-repeat="things in stuff">
<table><tr><td>{{things}}</td></tr></table>
</div>
<input type="text" name="app" ng-model="input" ng-required="!stuff[0]" />
<button ng-disabled="!input" ng-click="add()">
<span> add</span>
</button>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid" />
<script>
angular.module('myApp', []).controller('myCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.stuff = [];
$scope.input = null;
$scope.add = function () {
var l = $scope.stuff.length;
$scope.stuff[l] = $scope.input;
$scope.input = null;
};
$scope.submit = function () {};
});
</script>
</form>
[EDIT]
To answer your question directly: !stuff[0] is TRUE when there is nothing in the array, and FALSE otherwise. When it is TRUE, then input is required, making the form 'initially' invalid. As soon as you type something into the input, then the requirement is now fulfilled, meaning that the form is valid, and you can now click the submit button. The condition actually has nothing to do with actually putting something into the array.
This is fixable by attaching a condition to stuff.length as proposed by my answer below. It won't make the form invalid (which you can easily do with this condition elsewhere) but it will at least disable the submit button.
[/EDIT]
I don't understand why you have ng-required there, as you are wanting to disable the submit button, meaning the logic should be attached to the submit button, not the input text box.
I would do this instead:
<input type="text" name="app" ng-model="input"/>
<button ng-disabled="!input" ng-click="add()">
<span> add</span>
</button>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" ng-disabled="stuff.length == 0" />
Which will disable the submit button if there is nothing in stuff.
Trying to wrap my head around some Angular items and working thru a tutorial to edit and learn.
Clicking the below button shows the below form. How do I reverse this once the form is submitted? Meaning hiding the form on submit until the button is clicked once more.
<button ng-click="addNewClicked=!addNewClicked;" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i>Add Task
</button>
Basically, the form appears, I enter something and submit, but would like the form to dissapear upon submit? Thinking something to do with ng-hide, but can I do this using only Angular? Or do I need to do something with javascript/css?
<div id="addForm" class="margin-full-5">
<form ng-init="addNewClicked=false; " ng-if="addNewClicked" id="newTaskForm" class="add-task">
<div class="form-actions">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="comment" ng-model="taskInput" placeholder="Add New Task" ng-focus="addNewClicked">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit" ng-click="addTask(taskInput)">
<i class="fa fa-plus"></i> Add Task
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
You can also achieve this using a combination of Angular form's attribute $submitted, ng-hide and ng-submit
<form name="myForm" ng-hide="myForm.$submitted" ng-submit="submit()">
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
Read about it here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/form.FormController
Somewhere in your view.
<button ng-click="showTheForm = !showTheForm">Add a Task</button>
<form ng-show="showTheForm" ng-submit="processForm()">
<button>Submit</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="showTheForm = false">Cancel</button>
</form>
Somewhere in your controller
$scope.processForm = function() {
// execute something
$scope.showTheForm = false;
}
Your form is displaying IF the addNewClicked value evaluates to true, which occurs when you click the add task button. If you want the form to disappear on submit, you just need to make the onClick to that button change your addNewClicked to false.
AngularJS Docs for Ng-If
You can do that by using ng-show/ng-hide as per example below :
<form ng-init="addNewClicked=false; " ng-if="addNewClicked" ng-hide="hideform" id="newTaskForm" class="add-task">
and modify the submit method to make the hideform = true;
$scope.addTask = function(input){
... your things
$scope.hideform = true;
}
You can also do the same using jQuery :
$("#newTaskForm").hide();
This should do the trick:
$scope.addTask = function(taskInput) {
...
$scope.addNewClicked = false;
}
You could use ng-show as you can see in this jsfiddle
This will show and hide the div element based on clicking the button. When the button is clicked it will toggle the boolean, hence acting as an on/off switch for ng-show
I am trying to get a function to print out whatever the user inputs into the text-box. I am using onClick as an attribute on my submit button. I know I set it up properly because it flickers the answer, but only for a split second. How can I get the input to stay on the page? Here's the code: HTML: Type what you want to post to the website!
HTML:
<div id="main_div">
<section id="leftbox">
<form name="mybox">
Type what you want to post to the website!:
<br />
<input type="textbox" size="15" maxlength="15" name="text" id="text">
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit!" onClick="doFirst()">
</form>
</section>
</div>
<div id="insert"></div>
Javascript:
function doFirst(){
text = document.getElementById('text');
insert = document.getElementById('insert');
if(text.value == "")
{
insert.innerHTML = "Please input something!";
return false;
}
else
{
insert.innerHTML = text.value;
}
}
try this:
Using type=button
<input type="button" value="Submit!" onClick="doFirst()">
OR using type=submit
<form name="mybox" onsubmit="doFirst(); return false;">
<input type="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
Explain:
The action for onclick in submit button DO executed. You keep see the page does not have any changes, because of there are a FORM. And the key point: the form handle the submit action after the JS function doFirst() immediately. Adding the onsubmit in the form with return false to stop default action, means:
<form name="mybox" onsubmit="return false;">
<input type="button" value="Submit!" onClick="doFirst()">
</form>
To simplify the changes, use button instead of submit type, or using onsubmit instead of onclick in form trigger.
onClick="doFirst()"
gets converted into an anonymous function:
function(){ doFirst() }
and whatever that function returns determines if the submit should be completed or aborted, so you should use:
onClick="return doFirst();"
In other words, it's not enough that doFirst return something, whatever doFirst returns should be returned again inside the onClick.
I have a form that I wanted be nested, but it is not possible since HTML can't accept nested form. Is there a way I can manually invoke the submit(triggers the validation, e.g. required) on first form on AngularJS?
Here's how the code looks like:
<div ng-conroller="ContactController">
<form ng-submit="saveHeaderAndDetail()">
<label for="Description">Description</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="Description" required/>
<input type="text" style="visibility:hidden" />
</form>
<form ng-submit="addToDetail()">
...
</form>
<input type="button"
ng-click="what code could trigger the first form's submit?"/>
</div>
Btw, both forms are under one controller if that helps
Try creating a directive that catches an event:
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.triggerSubmit = function() {
$scope.$broadcast('myEvent');
console.log('broad');
};
$scope.onSubmitted = function() {
alert('submitted!');
};
}
app.directive('submitOn', function() {
return {
link: function(scope, elm, attrs) {
scope.$on(attrs.submitOn, function() {
//We can't trigger submit immediately, or we get $digest already in progress error :-[ (because ng-submit does an $apply of its own)
setTimeout(function() {
elm.trigger('submit');
});
});
}
};
});

I've answered a similar question here AngularJS - How to trigger submit in a nested form
Basically, you can trigger validation by firing $validate event
isFormValid = function($scope, ngForm) {
$scope.$broadcast('$validate');
if(! ngForm.$invalid) {
return true;
}
For working code example & a small utility method which is helpful in showing validation messages, see answer in the above link.
You can have nested forms with ng-form directive. It will be like:
<form name="accountForm">
<div data-ng-form="detailsForm">
<input required name="name" data-ng-model="name">
</div>
<div data-ng-form="contactsForm">
<input required name="address" data-ng-model="address">
</div>
<button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
That way when submit will be triggered for the accountForm it will validate nested ng-forms also.
There's an easier way to do that, You can give a name for each form that you have in your app, then you'll be able to send the entire angular object of the form that you want to trigger or do whatever you want with it. Example:
<div ng-conroller="ContactController">
<form name="myFirstForm" ng-submit="saveHeaderAndDetail()">
<label for="Description">Description</label>
<input type="text" ng-model="Description" required/>
<input type="text" style="visibility:hidden" />
</form>
<form name="mySecondForm" ng-submit="addToDetail()">
...
</form>
<input type="button"
ng-click="saveHeaderAndDetail(myFirstForm)"/>
</div>
Then in your function
saveHeaderAndDetail (myFirstForm) {
myFirstForm.$submitted = true
...
}
We can always submit a form directly using the submit
() function from javascript.
document.getElementById("myform").submit()
In this way, we can validate the form using angularjs first and if the form is valid then submit it using the submit method.
