Submit form data without javascript

TL;DR
How to make a form to make a normal post instead of making a submission via JQuery?
I bought a theme recently and I'm making a form with several steps. I'm using the "Wizard" component of this theme and you can see how it works through this link:
https://keenthemes.com/metronic/preview/demo1/custom/pages/wizard/wizard-2.html
My problem is with the submission of this form. I would like to make a common submission. As it stands, the form must be submitted using JQuery.
I made some changes to my form to be able to make a common submission. For example:
I informed the POST method and an action for the form:
<form class="m-form m-form--label-align-right- m-form--state-" id="m_form" action="sale/new" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
And I also created a "Submit" button:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" data-wizard-action="submit">Save</button>
For the Wizard work, the form must have an id (m_form) and the submit button must also have the attribute data-wizard-action="submit".
I am using the javascript of the theme itself, and it is precisely because I don't know much about JS that I believe I am facing problems. I tried to remove the e.preventDefault, but the form still does not POST to the action I determined. The javascript code for the theme I'm using is this:
//== Class definition
var WizardDemo = function () {
//== Base elements
var wizardEl = $('#m_wizard');
var formEl = $('#m_form');
var validator;
var wizard;
//== Private functions
var initWizard = function () {
//== Initialize form wizard
wizard = new mWizard('m_wizard', {
startStep: 1
});
//== Validation before going to next page
wizard.on('beforeNext', function(wizardObj) {
if (validator.form() !== true) {
wizardObj.stop(); // don't go to the next step
}
})
//== Change event
wizard.on('change', function(wizard) {
mUtil.scrollTop();
});
//== Change event
wizard.on('change', function(wizard) {
if (wizard.getStep() === 1) {
// alert(1);
}
});
}
var initValidation = function() {
validator = formEl.validate({
//== Validate only visible fields
ignore: ":hidden",
//== Validation rules
rules: {
//=== Client Information(step 1)
//== Client details
name: {
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
phone: {
required: true,
phoneUS: true
},
//== Mailing address
address1: {
required: true
},
city: {
required: true
},
state: {
required: true
},
city: {
required: true
},
country: {
required: true
},
//=== Client Information(step 2)
//== Account Details
account_url: {
required: true,
url: true
},
account_username: {
required: true,
minlength: 4
},
account_password: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
//== Client Settings
account_group: {
required: true
},
'account_communication[]': {
required: true
},
//=== Client Information(step 3)
//== Billing Information
billing_card_name: {
required: true
},
billing_card_number: {
required: true,
creditcard: true
},
billing_card_exp_month: {
required: true
},
billing_card_exp_year: {
required: true
},
billing_card_cvv: {
required: true,
minlength: 2,
maxlength: 3
},
//== Billing Address
billing_address_1: {
required: true
},
billing_address_2: {
},
billing_city: {
required: true
},
billing_state: {
required: true
},
billing_zip: {
required: true,
number: true
},
billing_delivery: {
required: true
},
//=== Confirmation(step 4)
accept: {
required: true
}
},
//== Validation messages
messages: {
'account_communication[]': {
required: 'You must select at least one communication option'
},
accept: {
required: "You must accept the Terms and Conditions agreement!"
}
},
//== Display error
invalidHandler: function(event, validator) {
mUtil.scrollTop();
swal({
"title": "",
"text": "There are some errors in your submission. Please correct them.",
"type": "error",
"confirmButtonClass": "btn btn-secondary m-btn m-btn--wide"
});
},
//== Submit valid form
submitHandler: function (form) {
}
});
}
var initSubmit = function() {
var btn = formEl.find('[data-wizard-action="submit"]');
btn.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (validator.form()) {
//== See: src\js\framework\base\app.js
mApp.progress(btn);
//mApp.block(formEl);
//== See: http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#ajaxSubmit
formEl.ajaxSubmit({
success: function() {
mApp.unprogress(btn);
//mApp.unblock(formEl);
swal({
"title": "",
"text": "The application has been successfully submitted!",
"type": "success",
"confirmButtonClass": "btn btn-secondary m-btn m-btn--wide"
});
}
});
}
});
}
return {
// public functions
init: function() {
wizardEl = $('#m_wizard');
formEl = $('#m_form');
initWizard();
initValidation();
initSubmit();
}
};
}();
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
WizardDemo.init();
});
I would like to know if there is any way to keep the Wizard and the validation working, but in a way that it is possible to make a common submission for the action that I defined for the form.

You just need a slight change in your initSubmit() function.
var initSubmit = function() {
var btn = formEl.find('[data-wizard-action="submit"]');
btn.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (validator.form()) {
//== See: src\js\framework\base\app.js
mApp.progress(btn);
//mApp.block(formEl);
//== See: http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#ajaxSubmit
/*
formEl.ajaxSubmit({
success: function() {
mApp.unprogress(btn);
//mApp.unblock(formEl);
swal({
"title": "",
"text": "The application has been successfully submitted!",
"type": "success",
"confirmButtonClass": "btn btn-secondary m-btn m-btn--wide"
});
}
});
*/
// Use this one instead:
formEl.submit();
}
});
}
This simply means that:
Instead of doing an AJAX request if validation result is positive, just do a normal submission.
Here's the reference for the submit() method of jQuery:
https://api.jquery.com/submit/
By the way, this question can be found under the title (how to submit form using jQuery ?), see this question for example:
Submit a form using jQuery

jquery choosen select validation messages are not dis-appering untill the form submit

jQuery chosen select validation messages are not disappearing until the form submit. I applied required validation if I submit the form without choosing the value error message is displaying. But after I choose it is not disappearing as normal select boxes, it is staying until the form submit.
$.validator.setDefaults({ ignore: ":hidden:not(.chosen-select)" });
$("#postJob").validate({
rules: {
skills:{
required:true,
},
});

please provide a running code snippets to understand the problem more easily.
jQuery validate messages are disappeared once the validation is fulfilled.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#form").validate({
rules: {
"name": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
"email": {
required: true,
email: true
}
},
messages: {
"name": {
required: "Please, enter a name"
},
"email": {
required: "Please, enter an email",
email: "Email is invalid"
}
},
submitHandler: function (form) { // for demo
alert('valid form submitted'); // for demo
return false; // for demo
}
});
});
Here is the fiddle:

Automatically close qtip2 using JQuery .validate()

I'm working on a form which implements QTip2 to display a tooltip once someone tries to submit a form where data is missing. Everything works as intended, however I would like the tooltip to be removed once the error class is removed (effectively once someone types in the input field). I have the following code for my validation currently:
$('#form0').validate({
rules: {
Name: "required",
Email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
Subject: "required",
Message: "required"
},
errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
$('#Name').qtip({
content: 'Please enter your name',
position: {
target: 'mouse', // Track the mouse as the positioning target
adjust: { x: 5, y: 5 } // Offset it slightly from under the mouse
},
style: { classes: 'qtip-red' }
});
return true;
},
errorClass: "form-error"
});
As you can see, once someone tries to submit the form the class "form-error" is assigned to the input field, so I would like the tooltip to be removed as well once this class is removed. I tried the following, but it did not work, not sure why:
onHide: function() { $(this).qtip('destroy'); }

I found a solution to this problem by adding the following code inside errorPlacement {}:
events: { show: function (event, api) { if (!element.hasClass('form-error')) event.preventDefault(); } },
show: {
delay: 0,
target: element
},
hide: { target: element },

jQuery .validate rules don't appear to be applying? (jsfiddle)

http://jsfiddle.net/sK9tL/1/
When I manually add the rule()'s in the console on my form page, it appears to validate as expected.
I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the way I am formatting this?
$('#freeFormAdd').validate({
rules:{
freeFormName: {
required: true,
},
freeFormPrice: {
required: true,
},
freeFormQty: {
required: true,
}
}
});
Then I use the .valid() to determine if the form is ready to submit. Since the page is "seamless" I don't need the form to submit, just to add some items to a cart (which is commented out in the jsfiddle).
Any advice?

Your form elements should have name attribute not id attribute, validator selects the elements based on their name attributes. Also instead of listening to the click event, you can use the submitHandler method:
$('#freeFormAdd').validate({
rules: {
freeFormName: {
required: true,
},
freeFormPrice: {
required: true,
},
freeFormQty: {
required: true,
}
},
submitHandler: function () {
alert('the form is valid');
}
});
Please note that I have moved the button to the form element's context so it triggers the submit event.

How can I get a message to appear when I submit a form using Happy.js?

I tried to include a conditional in the unHappy function; While the form processes, I don't get the message indicating success! Here's my code.
var dd= $.noConflict();
dd(document).ready(function () {
dd('.success').hide();
dd('#frmContact').isHappy({
fields: {
// reference the field you're talking about, probably by `id`
// but you could certainly do $('[name=name]') as well.
'#yourName': {
required: true,
message: 'Might we inquire your name'
},
'#email': {
required: true,
message: 'How are we to reach you sans email??',
test: happy.email // this can be *any* function that returns true or false
},
'#comments': {
required: true,
message: 'Please leave a message!',
}
},
unHappy: function () {
var yourName = dd('#yourName').val();
var email = dd('#email').val();
var comments = dd('#comments').val();
if (yourName && email && comments == true){
dd('.success').show();
return;
}
},
});
});
