Accepting an image in script - javascript

How would I edit this so it accepts the image when put in form all other options work just the image not uploading to server or database.
Please could someone help I have looked around and can't find anything that I understand,could someone possibly add a bit of code to this?
Thanks in advance.
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#Submit").click(function() {
var url = "../AdsCreate/CreateCar.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#myForm").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(html){ $("#right").html(html); }
});
return false; // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
});
</script>

That's because <input type="file" gets skipped when performing the .serialize() on the form.
It's possible to upload files with JavaScript, but far easier to just do it within the form:
<form action="../AdsCrease/CreateCar.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
<input type="file" name="myfile" ... />
...
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

jQuery documentation on .serialize clearly states that file upload is not supported (and indeed you need a multipart/form-data POST submission for uploads, it's not just a query string).
Right before the "example" sections you can find:
Data from file select elements is not serialized.

How to convert a GET request to POST

I don't know if it is possible or not. I referred some site, but I didn't get exact answer.
I am using
click
When I send this request to server in the response page easily I can see "id=4" in address bar, obviously which is not secure, But in post request we cant see this.
So can we convert a get request to post or ant other way is there to hide this from address bar.
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, to convert GET to POST, simply change the link to a form:
<form id="myForm" action="xyz" method="post">
<input type"hidden" name="id" value="4"/>
</form>
This form will not be visible and you can easily auto-submit it using JavaScript in your link:
click
Secondly and more importantly, both GET and POST are equally not secure over HTTP. To secure them, use HTTPS and they will be both equally secure, so no need to change if GET is working for you.
click
Dynamically create a from and post it.
function postForm() {
var form = $('<form method="POST" action="xyz"></form>');
$(document.body).append(form);
form.append('<input type="hidden" name="id" value="4"/>');
form.submit();
}
As Racil suggested in comments, you can also do the following
click
and then
$('#postLink').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//create form and post
});
Call a java script function on onclick which will make the form submission using post method or you can use ajax call to post the data and get your desired results.Use id as a parameter in function.
<a href="#" onclick="postData(4)">
/// Javascript function for ajax call
function postData(id){
var param = { "Id": id};
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
url: "xyz.aspx",
data: JSON.stringify(param),
success: function (data) {
/// Recive data here or do your stuff here
}
}
Make a form having single input type hidden and onclick set value of that input type hidden element and submit form using jquery.
<form id="target" action="destination.html">
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenValue">
</form>
/// Javascript function for setting value of hidden element and form submission using jquery
function postData(id){
$("#hiddenValue").val(id);
$("#target").submit();
}
Hopefully this will solve your problem.

JQuery button takes url and submits php form

I run an application that shortens urls for authenticated users. The form for this application is simply an input for the full url, which then spits out a shortened url.
I would like to build a button that can be added to generated pages (the urls are long and messy) and once clicked would automatically submit the url shortening form.
The url shortening application is run in php. I've read a little bit about using ajax to submit the form. Does this matter if it's on a different website? Does anyone have a good tutorial or starting point for this sort of thing?
Many thanks!
edit to include code:
<form action="" method="post">
<label for="form_url">Which URL do you want to shorten?</label>
<input type="url" id="form_url" name="form[url]" required="required" value="http://">
<input type="hidden" name="form[_token]">
<button type="submit" role="button">Shorten URL</button>
</form>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.btn').click(function() {
var pathname = window.location;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'http://url',
data: $(pathname).serialize,
success: success,
dataType: text
});
});
});
There isn't much to go on, considering you didn't post any code, but what I think you're asking is:
<form id="myForm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="long_url"/>
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
Now in the Javascript, you'd capture the submit event and call and ajax request:
$("#myForm").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "urlOfPhp",
data: $("#myForm").serialize(),
success: function(returned_data) {
// Handle Success Here.
}
}).error(function(){
// Handle an Error Here.
});
});
And that's the basics of Ajax. I'm also not clear on the Generated pages button thing, but this is a good starting point.

Execute script after load input file

I have an input file field to select files to upload, and I use ajax to send these pics to server. For execute all script after a file is selected, I use submit, but I think it could be better not to include the submit button and use jquery to detect when I select the file and process the submit action then.
My code:
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('#form_up').ajaxForm({
dataType: 'json',
success: bol
});
});
function bol(datab) {
if (datab.field_empty == "bad") {
jQuery(".bol_request_fail").fadeIn(3000);
} else {}
}
</script>
<form name="form" method="post" id="form_up" runat="server" action="indexer_upload_user_pic.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="margin:0px;">
<input type="file" name="upload[imagen][]" id="logo2" class="file-upload"/>
</form>
I use one plugin for send the fields and all form by this you can see ajaxForm function.
The question is: How I can avoid using submit and instead send the pic when it is selected via file input?
I didnt test it, but this might work:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
$("#logo2").change(function(){
jQuery('#form_up').ajaxSubmit({
dataType: 'json',
success: bol
});
});
});
Check the Plugin API if this dont work, I just quick checked it, and saw there is a ajaxSubmit...

Upload files without refreshing the page by using ajax post

I have a page file-upload.jsp with the code snippet below:
<form action="" id="frmupload" name="frmupload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" id="upload_file" name="upload_file" multiple="" />
<input type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>
I have 2 questions:
The moment I select some files, i.e the onchange event of the input type file, the file(s) should get uploaded.
I have a Java page that receives multipart request parameter and uploads the file to the said location. My problem is the form submission onchange, so that the Java file can proceed with further operations.
I googled and went through lot of articles. Some say it's not possible to upload files directly via Ajax, some say submit the form to an iframe via Ajax/jQuery.
I tried a lot of code from internet, such as this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('upload_file').change(function(){
var data = new FormData();
data.append('file', $(this[0].files[0]));
$.ajax({
url: 'photo.jsp',
type: 'post',
contentType: attr('enctype', "multipart/form-data"),
data: data,
success: function(data){
alert(data);
}
})
});
});
but could not get the expected results.
I also need a progress bar for the upload operation.
Look at this example using an IFrame, is in PHP but changing the action should do the trick
Ajax Style File Uploading Using Hidden IFrame
Since you're already using jQuery, I would definitely go for the jQuery Form Plugin, which allows you to do form uploads via AJAX, even if the form contains a file input.
There is an example on its website available that shows how to display a progress bar.
Look at this example it is exact as you want

Process form data using jQuery

I'm currently using Prototype, but I'd like to rewrite this function to jQuery:
function post(div,url,formId) {
new Ajax.Updater(div, url, {
asynchronous:true,
parameters:Form.serialize(formId)
});
}
HTML example that goes with it:
<form method="post" action="" id="foo"
onsubmit="post('result','getdata.php','foo');return false;">
<input type="text" name="data" />
</form>
<div id="result">&lt/div>
I've been looking at jQuery.load() and jQuery.post(), but I'm not sure which one to use and how exactly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
With this HTML:
<form method="post" action="getdata.php" id="foo">
<input type="text" name="data" />
</form>
<div id="result"></div>
You can do this with jQuery:
$(function() { // wait for the DOM to be ready
$('#foo').submit(function() { // bind function to submit event of form
$.ajax({
type: $(this).attr('method'), // get type of request from 'method'
url: $(this).attr('action'), // get url of request from 'action'
data: $(this).serialize(), // serialize the form's data
success: function(responseText) {
// if everything goes well, update the div with the response
$('#result').html(responseText);
}
});
return false; // important: prevent the form from submitting
});
});
The reason I got rid of the onsubmit code is because it is considered bad practice to have inline JavaScript like that. You should strive to make your forms free of JavaScript and then bind all the JavaScript away from it. This is known as unobtrusive JavaScript and it is a Good Thing.
EDIT:
Since you have that code in many pages, this is a function that will do what you want using the same signature you currently have on the post function. I recommend you take a few hours to update all your forms over keeping this, but here it is anyways:
function post(div,url,formId) {
$.post(url, $('#' + formId).serialize(), function(d) {
$('#' + div).html(d);
});
}
As far as your problem, the livequery plugin could help you there. Alternatively, it is as simple as encapsulating the binding code in a function and calling it whenever a form is added.
Use this and get rid of the onsubmit attribute in your HTML:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#foo").submit(function() {
$.post($(this).attr("action"), $(this).serialize());
return false; // prevent actual browser submit
});
});
jQuery serialize method docs
You can't send "multipart/form-data" forms with jquery because of security problems. You must do it with flash or iframe...
