i am trying to load a html page with the results of a "get" from another link.The idea is when I open the page, I should see the results of the get displayed.
I tried the following with javascript but with no success. The problem is I always get a submit button on the page. I want the submit to be "pre" done!
Please help. Here is what I have:
<body onLoad ="subMe()">
<script>
function subMe(){
document.getElementById("formButton").submit();
}
</script>
<div align="center">
<div style="display: hidden;">
<form action="http://localhost:8000/getusers/" method="get">
<input type="submit" id="formButton" />
</form>
</div>
..
</body>
Any idea? This is linked to my previous post:Cgi C program return value to main HTML and display result
The problem is that you are submitting a button, not the form.
Try:
function subMe() {
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit();
}
Since you have no need for the submit button, there is also no harm in removing it from the html.
I believe that you have to submit the form, not the button.
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit();
submit() should be called on the form element, not on a submit button.

I'm working with an embedded app on our dev site and when I click the submit button inside the iframe, I am triggering a manual submission event on another form (not in an iframe) on that page. If I manually click the submit button for the form, my data posts and everything works correctly. However, I want to eliminate an extra user click and submit the external form automatically when a user submits the other form inside the iframe.
I've got everything working correctly on a base level. When a user clicks the submit button in the iframe, I am using JQuery to grab values from inside the iframe and set values in this external form. Using the jquery 'submit()' event, I am then able to submit that external form. The problem is, the page refreshes and the data doesn't go anywhere. If I remove the 'submit()' event and manually click the submit button, the form posts and in this case, adds a product with custom data to the product cart.
As a proof of concept, this is my 'iframed' HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>Proof of Concept</h1>
<p>Total cost: $<span id="cust_price">222.22</span> plus shipping.</p>
<p>Quote number: <span id="quot_num">1546751962211</p>
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="newQuoteForm">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="new-app-btn">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
</body>
<footer>
</footer>
</html>
Here is my on-page form that is OUTSIDE the iFrame.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="outer-quote-form" action="/checkout/">
<label class="quote_number">Quote Number:
<input type="text" id="quote_number" name="quote_number" value="">
</label>
<label class="custom_price">price:
<input type="text" id="custom_price" name="custom_price" value="">
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="ws-add-to-cart">Add to Cart</button>
</form>
Then, I have JQuery working to grab the iframed values and puts them in the exterior form. Afterwards, it fires a 'submit()' event on that form.
<script>
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').load(function() {
var iFrameDOM = jQuery("iframe#newQuoteApp").contents();
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#newQuoteForm').submit(function() {
jQuery("input#custom_price").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#cust_price').text()); // updated
jQuery("input#quote_number").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#quot_num').text());
jQuery("#outer-quote-form").submit();
return true; //return false prevents submit
});
});
</script>
Except when the jquery submit() event fires, the form appears to submit and the page refreshes but no data is posting as it does when I manually submit the form. Is there an extra step here or a better way to fire the form submit with post data?
Edit: Adding the PHP function that isn't firing on jquery submit() for context.
if (isset($_POST['ws-add-to-cart'])) {
add_action( 'init', 'add_product_to_cart' );
function add_product_to_cart() {
global $woocommerce;
global $product;
$product_id = 138;
$woocommerce->cart->add_to_cart($product_id);
}
header("Location:https://www.devsite.com/checkout/");
}
The reason for the form not submitting because you are submitting the whole form without the submit button which is <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="ws-add-to-cart">Add to Cart</button> which you have declared in php to get a post request like this
if (isset($_POST['ws-add-to-cart'])) {...
When you call submit(); on the form via the get method, you see '/new-quote/?quote_number=1546751962211&custom_price=222.22'
but where's ws-add-to-cart, it's not submitting and that's the reason why php isn't getting your request
The fix will be to add .click() on the submit button instead of submitting the form
<script>
function enterVals($val){
var price = $val.price;
document.getElementById("quote_number").value = $val.num
document.getElementById("custom_price").value = $val.price
document.getElementsByName("ws-add-to-cart").click();
}
</script>
Or in your script in case you want to use jquery, this is the fix
<script>
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').load(function() {
var iFrameDOM = jQuery("iframe#newQuoteApp").contents();
jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#newQuoteForm').submit(function() {
jQuery("input#custom_price").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#cust_price').text()); // updated
jQuery("input#quote_number").val(jQuery('#newQuoteApp').contents().find('#quot_num').text());
jQuery("button[name=ws-add-to-cart]").click();
return true; //return false prevents submit
});
});
</script>
This is definitely the answer and sorry for my stupidity, i didn't pay required attention before
try removing return true from your js code
if that doesn't work, try changing the <form method="POST" to <form method="GET" to debug the values in the url just for checking that the form actually fires up with values
Alternative method: Old school method
code for page OUTSIDE the Iframe
<script>
function enterVals($val){
var price = $val.price;
document.getElementById("quote_number").value = $val.num
document.getElementById("custom_price").value = $val.price
document.getElementById("outer-quote-form").submit();
}
</script>
code for the Iframe file
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#newQuoteForm').on('submit', function(event) {
var Page = window.parent;
var allVals = {
price:$('#cust_price').text(),
num:$('#quot_num').text()
}
Page.enterVals(allVals);
event.preventDefault();
});
</script>
Explanation
window.parent refers to the parent window where the iframe is loaded on, with reference to this we can trigger functions that are in the parent window so by this, we created a variable and added the information which is sent by the function enterVals() to the window
The enterVals() function just puts the values and submits the form without any jQuery.
What is the proper way to submit a form with JS?
This might not be the 'best' way to submit a form with js but is cross-browser which is good
I am trying to submit this for without using a submit button. Here I have used javascript and once the form has submitted user should be directed to the B.php.
html code
<form id="jsform" action="B.php" method="POST" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" value="test" name="title"/>
</form>
java-script code
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('jsform').submit();
</script>
These 2 code lines run separately but not running together. Any mistakes have I done.
In javascript you can do this:
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("jsform").submit(); // using ID
}
And with jQuery
$(function() {
$("#jsform").submit(); // using ID
});
I write my comment as an actual answer this time.
Drop target="_blank" and it should work just fine. Otherwise your browser might see it as a popup.
Also make sure your JS is run after your form.
Use form name to submit
document.myform.submit();
I have this form inside a div and the submit button inside another div.
<div class="container1">
<form name="reg-form" id="signup" action="" method="post">
<div class="sep"></div>
<div class="inputs">
<input type = "submit" id="submit" name="submitkey" value="GENERATE KEY" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
How would I disable the submit button after one click? I tried every javascript code I find but it doesn't work on me. I dont know if it is because the form is inside a div and the submit button is inside another div. Thank you.
document.getElementById('signup').onsubmit = function() {
document.getElementById('submit').disabled = true;
};
Demo
The code should be put under the script, or wrapped inside a DOMContentLoaded/window.onload handler. Make sure your HTML does not have duplicated IDs.
Also, if the button must stay disabled after a page refresh/form submission, you will need cookies or a server-side session. None of these methods are foolproof though, and this is outside of the scope of the question I believe.
If you have jquery you can use this code:
$('#signup').submit(function(){
$('#submit').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});
I have a button example below
<button id="startrunning">go</button>
There is no form or anything I'm using on the same page java script to detect it's click. It will work like I want it to when I click it. I want to see when the page is loaded it will automatically submit it's self is there a way?
Thank you
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/QEu84/10/
<script type="text/javascript">
function submit()
{
document.getElementById("startrunning").click(); // Simulates button click
document.submitForm.submit(); // Submits the form without the button
}
</script>
<body onload="submit()">
<form id="submitForm">
<button id="startrunning">go</button>
</form>
</body>
You can automatically click it when the page loads, using the code below, but you need a form to submit something (you submit a form, not a button)
<body onLoad="document.getElementById('startrunning').click();">
I'm having a strange behaviour with this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function get()
{
alert("gggg");
jQuery.get (
"http://localhost:8080/c/portal/json_service",
{
serviceClassName: "com.liferay.test.service.TrabajadorServiceUtil",
serviceMethodName: "findByName",
servletContextName: "TrabajadorPlugin-portlet",
serviceParameters: "[param]",
param : document.getElementById("nombre")
}
);
}
</script>
<div>
<form>
<input type="text" id="nombre" value="<%=searching%>"/>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onClick="javascript:get()"/>
</form>
</div>
Liferay portal gets blocked when the button "Submit" is pressed. The pop-up with the message "gggg" is showed, but after click ok on it, the page becomes blocked.
If I remove the line 'param : document.getElementById("nombre")', it doesn't block.
Can anyone explain me where is the error, or the reason of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Rafa
The problem is that you're trying to pass an entire DOM element as the value for param, which jQuery isn't going to like. What type of element has ID nombre, and what property from that element do you want? If it's some kind of input, you likely want the value property, so you'd do:
param : document.getElementById("nombre").value
Updated Answer:
Thinking this through a little more, you should probably do this in a different way altogether. You're sending the data when the user clicks on the submit button, but remember if a user hits enter while typing in the input text box the form will submit but your code will not catch that.
A more robust solution would be to do it this way instead:
<div>
<form id="nombre_search">
<input type="text" id="nombre" value="<%=searching%>"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#nombre_search").submit(function(){
$.get("http://localhost:8080/c/portal/json_service", {
serviceClassName: "com.liferay.test.service.TrabajadorServiceUtil",
serviceMethodName: "findByName",
servletContextName: "TrabajadorPlugin-portlet",
serviceParameters: "[param]",
param : $("#nombre").val()
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
Changes to your code:
Added an id to the form.
Made the submit button a submit button instead of just a button.
Placed code inside $(document).ready block.
Code runs when form is submitted not when button is clicked.
Hope this helps,
