i have seen this done but cannot find the same site again.
i have tried putting htm to alert with little success of posting.
any Help is Highly Appreciated!
What you are looking for is a Prompt Box:
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_prompt() {
var name = prompt('Please enter your name','Poppy');
if (name != null && name != "") {
alert(name);
}
}
</script>
example taken from here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_popup.asp
you can do this with jQuery dialogs -- load the dialog on user click and have a form presented in the dialog. have a look at the demos here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/
To complete #Liv's answer you can use jQuery's UI
Reference: Modal Form
The example shows how to create a new user. It will pop up a dialog where you complete a form and you can submit it or you can cancel it.
Use a modal dialog to require that the user enter data during a multi-step process. Embed form markup in the content area, set the modal option to true, and specify primary and secondary user actions with the buttons option.
It pretty much what I understood you need.
Good luck!
HTML can't be placed in system dialogs generated by alert(), confirm() or prompt(). However, you can download jQuery UI and set it up on your Website. (Make sure you have the "dialog" component chosen on the download page.) Then in your JavaScript:
$("<div>Place your HTML here</div>").appendTo("body").dialog({
modal: true,
title: "Enter a title here"
});
Make sure you run this code after the page has loaded by using either window.onload or $(document).ready().
Ad#m
You will not be able to do this with alert, but you should take a look at how to create modal windows.
I recommend you to use a div popup. What you have to do is setting a background on top of all other elements except the div where your form is. The css property display will be set to 'none' until the form is then activated, by setting display = "block". That can be performed using javascript.

I dont know a lot about js and jQuery. I bought a WP theme and I want to do a few changes on it.
In this page: https://websitesdevs.com/search-services/
You can see a div with a text saying "Apply Filters" and when you click on it, it opens a popup with all the filters. The thing is that I want a search box, and then a button to open this popup with the filters.. I've been trying it but I can't do it.. I would like to open that popup with any other CSS class. Do you know how can I do it?
I think that the popup opens with this JS & jQuery script
//filter dropdown
jQuery('.mmobile-floating-apply,.wt-mobile-close').on('click', function() {
var _this = jQuery(this);
_this.parents('aside.wt-sidebar').toggleClass('show-mobile-filter');
});
This code is located at workreap_callbacks.js
Thanks for your time, I really need this
As far as I understand your question, you can run this:
$('.mmobile-floating-apply,.wt-mobile-close')
.parents('aside.wt-sidebar')
.toggleClass('show-mobile-filter');
from any place in your code.
I am currently building the blog and the client asked me to create a modal after a few scrolls so the user has to submit the email before continuing with reading.
I have built that. No problem.
BUT now he asked me if there is a way to prevent the user to see the rest of the content in Inspector or not just by disabling overflow:hidden on the body.
So is there any way to hide the rest of the content from the inspector before hitting the submit button?
Thanks for any advice
One thing you could try is have the submit button run a function that sets a global variable ishiddenfrom a default true to false.
The code for ishidden might look like this:
var ishidden = false;
//function that makes the user do form -> sets ishidden to true
//submit form function -> sets ishidden to false
and then you would have an if function that would change the styling
that might look like this:
//pure js solution. jquery is a bit different
if(ishidden){
document.getElementById(article).style.visibility = "hidden";
}
there would be a bit more code, but this is the general idea
I follow How to clear a textbox using javascript but my scenario is little change. I have a login button and when user click on login a pop-up window is open. He fill the textbox and for some reason he go back to main page. When he again come to login popup window he previous value is not cleared. May be this is because the page is not loaded. And I do not want to load page again. I want to use JQuery/JavaScript to remove the entered text. I has idea that I write code inside Close button but I don't know how to clear the textboxes. Please help.
Here is the code, scenario is that I used popup for login and sign up. In login popup there is link "Don't have login Id" when user click on it the sign up pop up with form is open.
Don't have Login Id
And the JavaScript method is
<script type="text/javascript">
function function_deletePreviousData(){
document.getElementById("signUp").value = "";
}
</script>
But nothing happened. I think this is because I don't give element id, I just give id of element which I used to land on sign up pop up form. Any idea for clear all form without accessing all elements and give it null value.
Instead of including code in close button click event, we should write code in login button click.This is one of my suggestion.
Try this once:
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function LoginButtonClick() {
document.getElementById`("TextBox_Id").value = "";
}
</script>
JQuery:
jQuery("#LoginButton_Id").Click( function()
{
$('#TextBox_Id').val("");
} );
Finally I find the method in JQuery to reset all fields. Just Trigger reset.
$('#form').trigger("reset");
Thanks all for help.
I am looking at having a alert style box show up when a user tries to leave the page but I what I wanted to do is have a share link in the alert style box
I have read this ticket javascript before leaving the page and now am unsure if this is possible.
I realise this will run
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){
alert("hi");
});
Now I know you cannot add links to an alert window so am trying to get round this another way but cant think of how i would display a alert/popup before going to another page that has a link in
Can anyone suggest anything - is there a plugin that might do this?
Its better you not do even if u do a hack as if you find a bug and use it to do it one they they will fix it and you will be again at same point. This is a security risk suppose i want to close a tab and in code you opne new popups or do malicious things???? So browserts dont allow it. If user wants to go they are allowed u can use standard
window.onbeforeunload = function() { return 'You have unsaved changes!'; }
if you like So try this. istead of custom things.
DEMO
You cannot add links to an alert window. What you could do is use a jQuery Plugin like http://jqueryui.com/dialog/#default and call it within beforeunload function.
HTML
<div id="dialog" title="My Link">
My Link
</div>
jQuery
$(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){
$( "#dialog" ).dialog();
});
OR if don't want to use jQuery you could use a window.open
eg: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/popup.html
I am using jquery with normal version 3.4.3.2 (non-jquery).
I am using jquery to get contents of the box like this
$(function(){
$(".submit").click(function() {
var text = tinyMCE.get('elm1').getContent();
$(".here").html(text);
return false;
});
});
But when i edit the content of the textarea and click submit and then leave the page.
But it shows the alert box.
I dont want it to come if the users have clicked the .submit after editing.
Thanks
Brett seems right.
You can even use this to get the content into the form in case $(."here") ist the element you initialized the tinymce editor for:
$(".submit").click(function() {
tinymce.get('elm1').save();
return false;
});
Sorry to post in an old topic but I tried .save() and it did not work for me either. So, I figured out a better solution that I wanted to share for the next person.
The unsaved alert is part of the autosave plugin which checks function tinymce.get('mce1').isDirty(). This function checks the value of tinymce.get('mce1').isNotDirty
A "dirty" mce is one which has unsaved changes. So, to prevent the popup you have to tell mce that it is clean without any unsaved changes.
tinymce.get('mce1').isNotDirty = 1;//clean mce
That will prevent the popup when leaving/refreshing page, assuming no more edits are done to the content of mce1
If you have one editor per page try
tinymce.activeEditor.save();
