HTML - How To Send Some Data Along With Input Data In Form With Post Request?
So I've got a form with some input text. In addition to the data in the input text I want to send some other data that has already been predetermined on initial page load. How would I declare the other data within the form element?
Thanks Similar TutorialsHi, I am trying to construct a multipart form-data post request to a web server. However I keep getting malformed multipart post. My set up is Debian Etch/Mozilla 5.0x.

This scrip is picked up by checking the global $_POST variable for 'upload'. This works fine and my PHP script does the upload when I only select one file (using either one), but when both are filled in for some reason the global $_POST variable is empty, so my script will not run. Before looking down the PHP route I'm wondering if everything is ok with my form, or if there is some error that I am missing that is causing this problem? Any help is greatly appciated. Thanks. Code: <form action="" method="post" name="client-balances-selection" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div id="current-balances"> <h3>Current client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="current_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <div id="past-balances"> <h3>Past client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="past_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <input type="submit" name="upload" class="button-primary" value=<?php _e('Compare'); ?> /> <input type="submit" name="delete" class="button-delete" value=<?php _e('Delete old files'); ?> /> </form> Hi all, Is it possible to 'post' a request without using a form? e.g. <a href="LoginCustomer">Login</a> if yes... could you tell me how? many thanks...... mike I have been using my site for some time now and it carries the image name over when you clicked on purchasing the print. It carries it still, but when you submit the form, the image name isnt there and the form errors because the field is blank. Here is the site: www.sthompsonphoto.com I cant seem to figure out why it disappears when you click Submit? Any help would be great! Hi everybody! I have a jsp page with a form and a table. My aim is that when i press the submit button of the form,collect the data and fill the table with it. I am working with J2EE. I have already collected the data in a Java class,but I dont know how to introduce this data into the table. Best Regards! Hi. In my HTML page I have a link that open a popup window. I want to send some data to this popup page (Same as sending data to other html page: home.html?DATA1="12"&DATA2="coolman") Is this possible? Hi there! I've been googleing for this for a while now, but I couldn't find any solution. My problem is simple. I want my forms to be in a way that browsers 'know' that the data being typed into the form is to be sent with the Unicode UTF-8 encoding. So that every data POSTed back to my server is encoded using UTF-8. How can I do that? Thanks in advance, AvoC. Hello all! Can anyone shoot me over some quick code here. What i need to do is simply have one text box and one combobox. When the person fills in the info for the 2 and clicks submit, text appears under the button (like for a thank you) and the info gets sent to my email. can anyone shoot me over some code here, i need this really bad for a part on my site, but i dont know how to do it. thanks! Hi Everyone, I am trying to create a generic Form model for taking user input and storing an XML file in a database. I can only use JSP, Java, and HTML functionality which is already installed on the server, so new mods or plug ins are out. To do this, I need to group fields with a common parent together, and fieldsets are a natural way to do this. Is it possible to discover, using JSP or another method, which fieldset encompassed a given form field? Take the following example: XML Structu Code: <server name="myserver01"> <elements> <serverAttr attr1="myAttrbiute"> <serverAttr attr2="myAttr2"> </elements> </server> <server name="myserver02"> <elements> <servertAttr attr1="another attribute"> </elements> </server> ... To gather the data, I have an HTML form where users may add any number of server attributes (including 0) to a given server which they also define. example/pseudo-code shown he HTML Code: <fieldset> <Legend accesskey="Server1">Define a Server</Legend> Server Logical name : <input type="text" size="30" name="serverName"> Attribute: <input type="text" size="30" name="attribute"> <!--Java Script Button to add an additional form field dynamically, with identical form name.--> </fieldset> <!--javascript button to add additional fieldset, with identical structure as above.--> Users can add or remove any number of servers or attributes using the javascript buttons, but the form field names will be the same. When the user presses submit, I will get some number of post variables identified by "attribute", but how can I map them back to a specific server definition? Is this possible? Thanks so much! When parsing the POST data from an input form, how do you identify a uploaded file? My first guess is that the Content-Disposition header field will contain a filename parameter, but I don't want to just make that assumption. When I dissect some POST data, it looks like this... Code: -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="data1" 1 -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myfile"; filename="X:\myfile.txt" Content-Type: text/plain mary had a little lamb with fleece as white as snow -----------------------------7d721bbb0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="start_date" -----------------------------7d7d37b0272 Content-Disposition: form-data; name="submit" Submit -----------------------------7d7d37b0272-- I highlighted the filename parameter. That's what I'm planning on keying in on. Is this right? Darren Hi, I'm not sure if this can be done, what I'm trying to do is: I have 3 input boxes (Name, date, comments) when a user types in and hits submit button I want the data to be stored in the HTML Table on the same page Name Comment Date How would I go about doing this? This should be so simple task but no. How can I pass input field value to the function? What I read from the input field, as soon as I press the "Save results" the value of the input field should be passed within the function. All I can do is puit 'stuffhere' and it works but simply can not manage to retriveve the input data! <form name="inputData"> <input type="text" name="userName" size="32"/><br /> <a href="#" OnClick="SetText('resultHandler','Username',' stuffhere ');SendMessageToTheObject('resultHandler','saveResult');return true;"><font color="red">[Save result]</font></a> </form> Hi Experts, I am designing a webpage where based on the year selection the associated years webtable needs to be displayed in the webpage. Pls give som suggestions and if possible the code on to how to code this using HTML and Jav Script. I know I have to write afunction and then call the fn based on the input.but need your help on this. Thanks, Bsquare Hello all! I've been lurking in these forums for a good while as I've recently started dabbling in web design. As such, I find myself stumped. Despite my relatively thorough search on Google I've yet to find anything that points me in the right direction. I assume I'm simply not using the right terminology in my searches. Hopefully the community here can help me out. In short I have a chat applet that I'm trying to get a "Report Member" function working in. Users can right click on a member and select "Report Member". From there I have a page on my site called Report.htm and that particular URL. The chat applet provides information on the end of that URL. Here is an example URL: Code: http://www.siteurl.com/report.htm?username=JohnDoe&roomname=Main+Room&showuser=2264826&uid=2264826&srcuid=2264826&srcusername=JaneDoe Essentially, JaneDoe is reporting JohnDoe for who knows what. When the report is made they're sent to the placeholder report page with all the details at the end of the URL. If possible, I'd like the Report.htm page to have a form in it where the information for the form is prefilled (and uneditable) from the information provided by the URL. Essentially the form would roughly look like the following: Username of Member: JohnDoe Your Username: JaneDoe Room: Main Room Report: (This would be the only editable section) After filling out the report they'd hit submit and it'd get emailed to the moderating staff. Is this something handled on the server side of things? If so I've potentially posted this in the wrong subforum, but I assumed it was something that could be done via form tags in HTML (though I do know some script would be needed for the actual submission of the form). My server uses PHP, if that information is useful. With all that said, is this possible? If so, what can help get me started in learning how to do this? I've spent a good deal of time looking around on Google but nothing seems to be quite what I want or, more likely, I'm simply not using the right search terms. Any help would be greatly appreciated! hi, i have a form wich consist username and password. i want to read these content and store in the local system( my system) also i want to read the same thing from the file. can any one please send me the code for that. Many thanks in advance... Greetings I'm organizing a competition, or quest, between my forum members. Each competitor has to finish 37 tasks. So I built this table to use as a progress tracker. It lists the names of the participants at the left side, and a horizontal bar at top with 37 cells showing task number. Each time a user finishes a task, he PMs me and I then go edit his/her table row to change the color of the cell under that task, and type the date he finished it in. But this is too much work for me, as I have to edit the table many times each day.. so I was thinking, can someone help me do the following? It would be great if I have a form that users can fill in, and then that form submits its data into the corresponding cells in the progress tracker table, so that the table automatically reflects the new data. The user has to type a code that I assign for him, for the form to know which row to handle, and also to prevent others from playing tricks with his data. It would be even greater if another form can be made that automates the participation process, by adding a new row when a new user who wants to join the competition, submits the form. Then the form emails the user the code he would later need to submit data to his row. Many thanks for any help, code or examples given. Hi there, quite a lame question i think.. Anyone have on idea on a script, (which i believe should be quite simple) which can extract the line from an csv file and show ot in a html page at search request. In more details it should look like this : somebody enters some word in simple html search form and pushes search button, the script searches through the csv file and copies whole line with matchin word in the web page. Or maybe there is a simplier way, since csv file can be converter to any other format... Thanks in advance. |
