Reset inputs after submit click - javascript

Thanks in advance for your help! I am asking users questions, and giving them input back. I want them to be able to do it again if they want, so i guess i want a reset button. I want to reset the input boxes, after the user hits submit. I have seen some really good answers to this question, but i would like to see a working example, after submit is clicked. It don't matter to me how i do it, if it's a href link that brings them to a sub domain and then back to the original one. Or if i make the input val "". My fiddle has some issues, I cut it apart quickly just so i can give a example of what i am trying to do. My input's come from a change function. My fiddle is below. If you pick the first option which is "Yes" it will work. Please if you can show a working example it will be very helpful.
$('.myOptions').change(function () {
$('.list').removeClass('active');
$('.' + this.value).addClass('active');
});
$('#butt').click(function () {
var ttta = $('.myOptions').val();
var tt = $('input[name=gender]:checked').val();
});
My html code:
<label>Please select an option :</label>
<select class="myOptions">
<option value="" selected>Pick an option</option>
<option value="owner">yes</option>
<option value="not-owner">no</option>
</select>
My fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/46tYs/8/

With your example I simply cleared the inputs and reset the select
$("#reset").click(function() {
$("select").val("").change();
$("input").val("");
});
Demo

You can make use of input[type="reset"]:
<input type='reset' id='reset' value='reset' />

Reset text field on Mouse press / Input - jQuery UI Autocomplete

Simple JS fiddle containing my code in working state
I have a jQuery UI Autocomplete field, with a Dropdown button attached. It works floorlessly, however - its kinda annoying you have to manually delete the words inside the field for a search.
I am unsure if jQuery UI has a feature for it, unless i'd love to know.
I've tried to use onClick functions with JS, however since my field is not exactly an "form field" I've got kinda lost here.
My goal is to: reset the text field when a user presses it.It has prewritten text in it "Please select (Or Type)"
my cshtml file looks as following
cshtml
And it looks like this on the browser browser
Code for Image 1:
<select asp-for="Dinosaur" class="combobox" id="dinoType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dinosaurs>()">
<option selected="selected" type="text" onclick="resetText()" value="0">Please select (Or Type)</option>
</select>
<span asp-validation-for="Dinosaur" class="text-dark" />
As you can see it has the text in, which i have to CTRL + A, DELETE before i can search in my field.
A function to clear this text when a user presses it will easen the pressure.
I might just be stupid to see the simple solution, i just feel like I've tried some of the things that I'd believe would work. (As the onclick="ResetText()" with a JS code attached to it)
When I click on drop down this is what showing.
Best Regards,
You don't want to wire an onclick listener on your option element, you want an onchange event listener on your select element. onclick is not supported on option elements.
use onchange instead of using onclick and this action should be on the select tag. not on the options. Try this example.
$('select').on('change', function() {
if (this.value === 'disabled') {
this.value = '';
}
console.log(this.value);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select asp-for="Dinosaur" class="combobox" id="dinoType" asp-items="Html.GetEnumSelectList<Dinosaurs>()">
<option selected="selected" type="text" value="disabled">Please select (Or Type)</option>
<option type="text" value="One">One</option>
<option type="text" value="two">two</option>
</select>
<span asp-validation-for="Dinosaur" class="text-dark" />

My input value's on dialog box form doesn't update

I'm looking for a solution to my problem. I couldn't find and answer, maybe because i don't know how to explain my problem in a search question..
I have a table with registries, and in everyone, i have and edit button, who open a bootstrap dialog, and show a form with the values (obtain by ajax) of that registry:
$("[href=edit]").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(this).attr("data-id");
$('#editModal').modal('show');
$.post("tasas/get/",{id: id}, function(data){
var form = $(data).find("div#editForm");
$('.modal-body').html(form);
$('#editModal').on("click","#acceptButton",function(){
var concept = $('.modal-body [name=concept]').val();
alert(concept);
$('#frmEdit').submit();
});
});
});
the $.post("tasas/get") return me a complete site, where i find specifically the div containing the form:
<div id="editForm">
<form name="editRegistry" method="post" id="frmEdit" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="codigo" value="<?=$code?>">
<label><span>Concept</span></label>
<input type="text" name="concept" value="<?=$concept?>" />
<label><span>Tipo</span></label>
<select name="tipo">
<option selected="selected" value="<?=$tipo?>"><?=$tipo?></option>
<option value="$">$</option>
<option value="%">%</option>
</select>
<label><span>Valor</span></label>
<input type="text" name="valor" class="small" value="<?=$valor?>" />
</form>
</div>
Where the values are set by php results. Anyway, when i alert the concept that I have change on the form at the open dialog, it always show me the original value. Example:
The form is set with the concept value: "A". I change it to "B" on the form, and when I click the acceptButton, the alert show me "A" inside of "B", this makes that I couldn't edit the registry.
Anyone know why?
Finally i solved it... What i was doing was alright. The thing was that i was duplicating code when i was doing the .html(form) part, as i have more than one dialog with the class .modal-body
So i replace:
$('.modal-body').html(form);
by
$('#editModal .modal-body').html(form);
and it works!
Regards Jeremy Thille and epascarello for trying to solved it!

change value of dropdown menu <select>

If I say have the following element, how do I change the selected value in it dynamically from jquery? (I know there are alot of threads of this subject here and I have tried them but I just coudn't get it to work)
<div class="styledDropDown">
<form name="viewBeds" method="post" action="formhandler.cgi">
<select name="title" onchange="javascript:showHideBeds();">
<option selected value="All">All</option>
<option value="Hannes">Hannes</option>
</select>
</form>
</div>
I want to switch between these values so that the selected value becomes "Hannes" instead of "All".
How is this done easiest?
Trid the following without success
function showHideBeds(){
$('.styledDropDown').val('Hannes');
}
Hope you understood the question =)
You need to set the .val() for the select element, $('.styledDropDown') is a div
This will do
$('.styledDropDown select').val('Hannes');
Demo: Fiddle
You can do
$("select[name='title'][value='Hannes']").attr("selected", "selected");
You can change the current value with
$('#setSelectedOne').click(function(){
$("#title option[value='Hannes']").attr('selected',true);
});
But I do not understand why you would do that with Javascript as the browser has its own do deal with Select boxes...

Two dropdowns and a submit button

I have two dropdowns with different values in each and have an submit button in last..
Now what i want to do is that, when i select an option form first dropdown and then another option from the second dropdown. Now when i click on submit button it would show there related value popup window having close button in it.
Code is as follows :
Calling from :
<select>
<option>America</option>
<option>India</option>
</select>
Calling To :
<select>
<option>England</option>
<option>France</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="" value="" />
These four countries have four different rates..
When i select calling from America to England than it ll show a popup window of its rates.
And when i select calling from America to France than it ll show a pop window of its own rates ..
Thanks in advance if u can help me .. :)
Guessing you just want the selected values or something?
First give the dropdowns a name and/or id.
lets make it simple and just make it a button instead of a submit.
<select id="list1">
<option>USA</option>
<option>India</option>
</select>
<select id="list2">
<option>UK</option>
<option>Fr</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Click here" onClick="showAlert();">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function showAlert() {
alert('Just get the values in here by ID.selectedItem.text I believe it is');
}
</script>
I believe that is basicly what you are after.
P.s.What exactly do you mean with rates?
In that case take what Mithin Sasidharan wrote and instead of the links he used just use a page you made and then put the info on that page that you have.
You can also just make a link and style it with CSS to make it look like a button.
If you did that you can simply use
This will make the link open a new window with the page you pointed towards.

How to ensure a <select> form field is submitted when it is disabled?

I have a select form field that I want to mark as "readonly", as in the user cannot modify the value, but the value is still submitted with the form. Using the disabled attribute prevents the user from changing the value, but does not submit the value with the form.
The readonly attribute is only available for input and textarea fields, but that's basically what I want. Is there any way to get that working?
Two possibilities I'm considering include:
Instead of disabling the select, disable all of the options and use CSS to gray out the select so it looks like its disabled.
Add a click event handler to the submit button so that it enables all of the disabled dropdown menus before submitting the form.
Disable the fields and then enable them before the form is submitted:
jQuery code:
jQuery(function ($) {
$('form').bind('submit', function () {
$(this).find(':input').prop('disabled', false);
});
});
<select disabled="disabled">
....
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="select_name" value="selected value" />
Where select_name is the name that you would normally give the <select>.
Another option.
<select name="myselect" disabled="disabled">
<option value="myselectedvalue" selected="selected">My Value</option>
....
</select>
<input type="hidden" name="myselect" value="myselectedvalue" />
Now with this one, I have noticed that depending on what webserver you are using, you may have to put the hidden input either before, or after the <select>.
If my memory serves me correctly, with IIS, you put it before, with Apache you put it after. As always, testing is key.
I`ve been looking for a solution for this, and since i didnt find a solution in this thread i did my own.
// With jQuery
$('#selectbox').focus(function(e) {
$(this).blur();
});
Simple, you just blur the field when you focus on it, something like disabling it, but you actually send its data.
I faced a slightly different scenario, in which I only wanted to not allow the user to change the selected value based on an earlier selectbox. What I ended up doing was just disabling all the other non-selected options in the selectbox using
$('#toSelect').find(':not(:selected)').prop('disabled',true);
it dows not work with the :input selector for select fields, use this:
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('form').bind('submit', function() {
jQuery(this).find(':disabled').removeAttr('disabled');
});
});
Same solution suggested by Tres without using jQuery
<form onsubmit="document.getElementById('mysel').disabled = false;" action="..." method="GET">
<select id="mysel" disabled="disabled">....</select>
<input name="submit" id="submit" type="submit" value="SEND FORM">
</form>
This might help someone understand more, but obviously is less flexible than the jQuery one.
The easiest way i found was to create a tiny javascript function tied to your form :
function enablePath() {
document.getElementById('select_name').disabled= "";
}
and you call it in your form here :
<form action="act.php" method="POST" name="form_name" onSubmit="enablePath();">
Or you can call it in the function you use to check your form :)
I use next code for disable options in selections
<select class="sel big" id="form_code" name="code" readonly="readonly">
<option value="user_played_game" selected="true">1 Game</option>
<option value="coins" disabled="">2 Object</option>
<option value="event" disabled="">3 Object</option>
<option value="level" disabled="">4 Object</option>
<option value="game" disabled="">5 Object</option>
</select>
// Disable selection for options
$('select option:not(:selected)').each(function(){
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});
Just add a line before submit.
$("#XYZ").removeAttr("disabled");
Or use some JavaScript to change the name of the select and set it to disabled. This way the select is still submitted, but using a name you aren't checking.
I whipped up a quick (Jquery only) plugin, that saves the value in a data field while an input is disabled.
This just means as long as the field is being disabled programmaticly through jquery using .prop() or .attr()... then accessing the value by .val(), .serialize() or .serializeArra() will always return the value even if disabled :)
Shameless plug: https://github.com/Jezternz/jq-disabled-inputs
Based on the solution of the Jordan, I created a function that automatically creates a hidden input with the same name and same value of the select you want to become invalid. The first parameter can be an id or a jquery element; the second is a Boolean optional parameter where "true" disables and "false" enables the input. If omitted, the second parameter switches the select between "enabled" and "disabled".
function changeSelectUserManipulation(obj, disable){
var $obj = ( typeof obj === 'string' )? $('#'+obj) : obj;
disable = disable? !!disable : !$obj.is(':disabled');
if(disable){
$obj.prop('disabled', true)
.after("<input type='hidden' id='select_user_manipulation_hidden_"+$obj.attr('id')+"' name='"+$obj.attr('name')+"' value='"+$obj.val()+"'>");
}else{
$obj.prop('disabled', false)
.next("#select_user_manipulation_hidden_"+$obj.attr('id')).remove();
}
}
changeSelectUserManipulation("select_id");
I found a workable solution: remove all the elements except the selected one. You can then change the style to something that looks disabled as well.
Using jQuery:
jQuery(function($) {
$('form').submit(function(){
$('select option:not(:selected)', this).remove();
});
});
<select id="example">
<option value="">please select</option>
<option value="0" >one</option>
<option value="1">two</option>
</select>
if (condition){
//you can't select
$("#example").find("option").css("display","none");
}else{
//you can select
$("#example").find("option").css("display","block");
}
Another option is to use the readonly attribute.
<select readonly="readonly">
....
</select>
With readonly the value is still submitted, the input field is grayed out and the user cannot edit it.
Edit:
Quoted from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-readonly:
Read-only elements receive focus but cannot be modified by the user.
Read-only elements are included in tabbing navigation.
Read-only elements may be successful.
When it says the element may be succesful, it means it may be submitted, as stated here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#successful-controls
