HTML - Avoid Refresh Button After Submitting Form

I'm having trouble with the submitting of a form. Here's my code:

HTML Code:

<form method="POST" action="example.php" name="r">
<br><br><table cellpadding="3%" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center"><td class="tablehead2" colspan="2">SCRIPT CHECK</td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td class="mainnowidth2" colspan="2"><img src="captcha.php"></td></tr>
<tr align="center"><td class="mainnowidth2">Enter Code:</td><td class="main2"><input type="text" name="code"></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" colspan="2"><input type="submit" class="subin" name="verify" value="Submit!"></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

When i enter something into the text input and press the return key, the page loads but the script runs as if the POST data was never entered, but if i click the submit button or press tab and then return, it works fine. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be, and a possible solution?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi.

I'm trying to clear a contact-form when when the user has pushed the submit button. Anyone know how to do this?

The reason I want this is because a new window opens and tells the user that the message has been sent. And when this window is closed the message is still in the form.

Hope i make myself clear

ooh, its been a long time since i had to ask a question in here.

i have a form that just wants to redirect to the home page, no matter what the action is.
HTML Code:

<form id="contactForm" method="post" action="index.phtml?file=contact.phtml" enctype="multipart/form-data">
          <input class="input" name="contact_name" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Name:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'Name:' }" value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_name']) && $_POST['contact_name']) ? $_POST['contact_name'] : 'Name:'; ?>" />
          <input class="input" name="contact_phone" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Phone:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'Phone:' }"  value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_phone'])) ? $_POST['contact_phone']: 'Phone:'; ?>" />
          <input class="input" name="contact_email" type="text" onfocus="if(this.value == 'E-Mail:') { this.value = ''; }" onblur="if(this.value == '') { this.value = 'E-Mail:' }"  value="<?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_email'])) ? $_POST['contact_email']: 'E-Mail:'; ?>" />
          <textarea name="contact_message" cols="1" rows="1" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Message:') { this.value = ''; }"  onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Message:'"  /><?php echo (!empty($_POST['contact_message'])) ? $_POST['contact_message'] : 'Message:'; ?></textarea>
          <a href="#" class="right link1" onclick="document.getElementById('contactForm').submit()">Send</a>
          <a href="#" class="right link1" onclick="document.getElementById('contactForm').reset()">Clear</a>
          <input name="ContactSubmit" type="hidden" />
      </form>

and its not submitting.

i think i messed up the link submits, what url shoudl be in there, when i put in index.phtml?file=contact.phtml it stays on the page but doesnt process.

also, is the enctype correct for this type of post?

also my doc type is xhtml strict, but i am going to have to satisfy a couple errors as far as that is concerned as well, its complaining about Quote:
document type does not allow element "input" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag
when i change the action even to itself which is /contact.phtml it still redirects to the home page.

i have to ask it, what obvious fundamental have i forgotton?

EDIT,
ok it must be in the link submits, when i delete the href tag out of it completely, it seems to be processing. i cant figure out why the # sign was in there, whats supposed to be there for a link submit? i trued a url and that didnt work right

I have been trying to add a text field to a pre-existing form which is submitted to my email. It is an order form and I want to add an area for the user to input their country. It shows up on the webpage but when I get the information the user has submitted in my email the Country data is not coming through.

The webpage is http://earfdn.org/form11.htm

The problem is towards the bottom under the Ship To: title.

Please help! And thank you so much for your time.

So, I have made a form as a pre-LAN-event thing..

The problem is that I have never really used forms before and am not really that familiar with more advanced HTML besides simple layout stuff.. So my question is, how do I take the information from this form:
HTML Code:

<form name="input" action="Result.asp" method="get">

	<font size="2" face="arial">Gender:<select name="gender">
		<option value="male">Male</option>
		<option value="female">Female</option>
	</select>

	<br>	

	Age:<select name="age">
		<option value="12">0-12</option>
		<option value="13">13</option>
		<option value="14">14</option>
		<option value="15">15</option>
		<option value="16">16</option>
		<option value="17">17</option>
		<option value="18">18</option>
		<option value="19">19</option>
		<option value="20">20</option>
		<option value="21">21</option>
		<option value="22">22</option>
		<option value="23">23</option>
		<option value="24">24</option>
		<option value="25">25+</option>
	</select><br><br />

	<b><u>What games do you want to see tournament in?</u></b><br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="CS16" /> Counter Strike 1.6<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="CSS" /> Counter Strike Source<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="LoL" /> League of Legends<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="LoLD" /> League of Legends Dominion<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="TF2" /> Team Fortress 2<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="TF2" /> Left 4 Dead 2 Versus<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="MC" /> Minecraft PvP<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="BC" /> Bloodline Champions<br />
		<input type="checkbox" name="Game" value="RoA" /> Rock of Ages<br />
		Other: <input type="text" name="otherGame" /> (ex. 1, ex. 2, osv.)
	</font><br />
	<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

and submit it to another page so I can go on there and see how many males, females and people of different ages that have signed up, and what games they wanted.

Sorry if it is a noobish question..

Thx in advance.
- Ward, out!

It submits in every other browser BUT IE... I just finished this website and it works everywhere except IE... I don't get it!!!

I'm using image inputs to submit the form. Is that bad?
It obviously sends me to the next page, but why isn't the data going through?

the form exists on this webpage http://awesomebattle.com/compare.php it's the frame with the two random characters in it...

here is the code.

Code:

I'm thinking it's a

I hate I.E. I really do. So many people use IE so I have to make this work with my site.

I want an area on the front page of my website, to display what someone has submitted in a form, (their name, comment and the current date), and I want it to update every 10 seconds.

Is this possible in HTML, if so, could anyone provide the code ?

Is there a connection between a form's "submit button" <input type="submit"> and it's "action/method/enctype" attributes <form action="url" method="post" enctype="text/plain">?

Is there a difference between "submitting" a form and "posting" a form or is it all interconnected? Does the form's "action/method/enctype" attributes have to be set to allow the "submit button" to do anything? Do the "action/method/enctype" attributes have to be triggered by a "submit button"?

Once I understand how this all works, I want to run some checks on user entries/selections in a form when the user clicks the submit button. These checks will be carried out by a JavaScript function. If there are problems with the user's selections/entries I want to;
1) suspend submission/posting
2) alert the user to the errors they have made via an alert box
3) allow the user to make corrections, then they click submit again
4) test the user's selections/entries again
5) if user's selections/entries are now OK, submit/post the form data or if still not OK go back to step 2 above.

Any hints on how to do this? Maybe I should forget the submit button and use a command button? Is there a "submit" method I can place in a JavaScript function?

This is the first time I've ever tried this so please bear with me. I created this with some html code:

http://i.imgur.com/twTo2.png

What I need this to do is when the person hits submit, it sends the text in each field to a file located on the web host. I need it to look something like this:

Here's the code I have (not sure if it will help):
Code:

	<div id="welcom_pan">
	<h2><span>submit your</span>VIDEO</h2><br>
	<p><form>
		YouTube Link to Video <br><input type="text" name="youtubelink" size ="50"/><br /><br />
		Do you accept the rules (below)? <br><input type="radio" name="yes" value="yes" /> Yes <input type="radio" name="no" value="no" /> No<br /><br />
		What's happening in the video?
	</form>
	<form method="post">
		<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea><br>
	</form><br>
	<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
	</p> 
	</div>

Hi all,

I have a query that I hope somebody can help with as my site has been brought to a standstill because of this problem.
I have just posted the new version of my site online and I have a folder below the domain root which contains things like database info, form scripts etc.

When I process the form I get a 404 error. the action is something like

HTML Code:

action="../includes/process_form.php"

There is no need to any output from these files as they process the information and direct to the relevant files above the domain root using php header scripts.

At the beginning of most of my files I have the following
PHP Code:
<?php
$security = 'secure';
require('../includes/default.php');
require('../includes/error_handlers.php');
require('../includes/db.php');
?>

and there is no problem with these whatsoever.
I had all of the scripts working fine when I tested them at
domainroot.co.uk/take2/public/
domainroot.co.uk/take2/includes/

Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening

Any help would be appreciated
John

I have a form where a select list can be updated by clicking 'update' next to it.

When this is clicked I would ideally like just that to be updated, but I do not think this is possible.

I was thinking of having two form actions, one that submits the form as usuall, but one that submits the form somewhere else, depending on which submit button is clicked.

If I could have two submit buttons, I could use one to submit the form back to the same script, with the script re-filling the form elements that where filled out, and the select box would then update.

So, my main question is......

Is there a javascript submit function that can change the destination of the form?

Perhaps this should be in the javascript section!

Hi All,

I want to refresh the contents of IFrame without refreshing the whole page.....How is it possible...

when using tabela and css-headers etc there is always a padding around it that has the same color as the background.

i want my tables or whatever i will use to sit fit together with nothing in between.

a lot of pages have this so it is possible obv, but how?

First of all, my site has been devoid of tables up until now. It has also been devoid of position defined div tags. I have been using CSS as well as I know how, I've been designing strictly with ems, and I strive to make everything validate.

My problem is, that I don't know how to reliably produce text within or overlaying images. I made a really simple attempt at it he http://www.eversnug.com/test3.php

To make the example really easy to look at and break apart, I have designed it without any external CSS, and it is all laid out in pxs. Unfortunately, I have broken the cardinal rule, and used a TABLE for something that is CLEARLY not tabular. This works GREAT in Safari and Chrome, but Opera and Firefox do not handle it the way I would like, and IE butchers it! What can I do? Is there a better, totally different means to accomplish this overlay effect? Do I need to learn a new workaround for designing with tables?

Please help, and thanks in advance.

I know a little about HTML, but I'm getting stuck on a redirection part of a website I run. I'm trying to set up the photo album link and what I want to happen is the photo bucket page to show up under my links on my page instead of popping up a new window. If anyone needs additional info to help I'll give what I can, thanks!
