HTML - [help]javascript/form/input

I've set my form up like this:

<form action="http://www.***.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="filter_name" />
</form>

but when I search the path returns

index.php?filter_name=***

instead of

index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=**

any ideas?

Thanks

Hey i'm wrting a simple iphone app (http://geo877.wsnw.net it will kinda run on Firefox and safari. NOT IE) I have a page where the user inputs some data using a form. I was trying to write a script to do the whole flick through page thing (where a users just drags the screen to change page). Anyway, the point is when i put the form into a div tag with the properties of position:relative; you can't click on any of the dropdown boxes or text input, i've read other people have had this problem but it was a pay for answer forum...The same problem happens when i put it in a table

edit: It also causes the div or table to be above everything

Thanks!

<style>
.dragme{position:relative;}
</style>

<div class="dragme">
<table id='mpc' style='display:none;' ><tr><td>
<form action="index.php" onsubmit="return validate_form(this);" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Amount</td>
<td><input type="text" name="amo" size="9" ; /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Unit</td>
<td><select name="unit">
<option value="Oz">Oz</option>
<option value="Gram(s)">Grams</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Metal</td>
<td><select name="metal">
<option value="goldS">Gold Spot Price</option>
<option value="silverS">Silver Spot Price</option>
<option value="platS">Platinum Spot Price</option>
<option value="fineGold">Fine Gold Price</option>
</select></td>
</tr>
</table><p>
<center><input type="submit" value="Calculate"/></center>
</form>
</div>

Hello,
Does anyone know how to create an input form that saves text to a text file? i.e. a text box with a submit button.

Thanks.

Hello

Does anyone knows since when (or which html version) it is allowed to define form input names as arrays such as:

ex:

<form ...>
<input name="MyArray[email]" />
<input name="MyArray[phone]" />
</form>

How do I prefill an input field in a form? I don't mean "value=hello"
I mean have a light gray text inside that says "enter your first name" and then when the user starts typing that text disappears.

I thought there was an html tag that did this (or a form tag like type=""). I hope it doesn't require CSS...
thanks!

I'm making a form that contains three places for the user to enter text. The first two are for taking only one line of text, but the third is a bigger input for taking in multiple paragraphs of text. The trouble is, I can't get this third one to wrap the text!

Is there a way to turn word wrapping on for an input bar? Or should I be using a different form element?

This is probably the simplest thing in the world but I can't figure out what to do to make it happen...

I need to have an "enter zip code" box with submit button, that opens a link in a new window...where the zip code entered is passed into the link...

So, I enter my zip code: 28052 and get this link in a new window when pressing submit:

thesiteaddresshere.com/ login/ minisearchpost.cfm? something=1&zipcode=28052 &signup=ouraffiliatecode

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I installed the simple points system to my phpbb3 forum
Im trying too add to that mod and put a box in the viewtopic page so i can edit members points easily.

I tried getting the code from the acp and putting that in the viewtopic file but no luck. The box comes up but when i type a amount and click submit it just seems to refresh the page and doesnt change the points amount.

Heres a code i made up from the ACP:
HTML Code:

<form id="user_profile" method="post" action="{U_ACTION}">
<input id="points" type="text" name="points" value="{POINTS}" />
<input class="button1" type="submit" name="update" value="{L_SUBMIT}" /></form>

Heres the mod link: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewt...?f=70&t=543803

I hope you can understand and help .

I just want a amount box and submit button below the avatar in the viewtopic file so when i type a amount in the box and click submit the amount of points will change.

I have tried the mod creator and the phpbb community for help but ive got nothing that helps.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi Guys
I have a text input field in a form that has data in it from a previous entries.

Is there something i can do that ensures the field is empty when the form is pulled up?

Thanks everyone

Code:

<form action="submitreg.php" method="post">
Desired Username: <input type="text"><br>
Desired Password: <input type="text">
</form>

This is just an ordinary unmodified form I have created. The problem is that the form positioning outputs like this:




How do I make this look normal and aligned?

Thank you

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a form which uploads an image from the user and saves it in the database. However with the code I have so far it seems the input isn't working. Any help would be appreciated. This is what I have:

<html>
<head><title>Store image into SQL Database</title></head>
<body>

PHP Code:
<?php

if ($_POST[submit]) {

    include("connect.php");

    $data = addslashes(fread(fopen($_POST[form_data], "r"), filesize($_POST[form_data])));

    $result=MYSQL_QUERY("INSERT INTO binary_data (description,bin_data,filename,filesize,filetype) ".
        "VALUES ('$_POST[form_description]','$_POST[data]','$_POST[form_data_name]','$_POST[form_data_size]','$_POST[form_data_type]')");

    $id= mysql_insert_id();
    
    MYSQL_CLOSE();

} else {


?>

HTML Code:

    <form method="post" action="imageupload.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    File Description:<br>
    <input type="text" name="form_description"  size="40">
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="1000000">
    <br>File to upload/store in database:<br>
    <input type="file" name="form_data" size="40">
    <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
    </form>

<?php

}

?>

</body>
</html>

Any idea why the "theuploadedfile" input is not displayed when the program comes in after the submit ?

PHP Code:
<?php
print 'Post=<pre>'; print_r($_POST);print '</pre>';
// PROBLEM $_POST['theuploadedfile']   IS NOT DISPLAYED  (the text one is)  
?>
<form 
    enctype="multipart/form-data"
    action="<?php print $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
    <br>File to upload 
    <input name="status" type="hidden" value="submitted">
    <br>A<input name="thetexttype" type="text" size="100">
    <br>B<input name="theuploadedfile" type="file" size="100" >
    <br><input name="submit" type="submit">
</form>

Hi,

Below is my line of input code where I pass a certain variable. What I want to know is - is it possible to leave that 'identifer' value out of the url string if a user does not enter anything in that field? It's for a hotel reservation system and if left blank, it causes an error. It works fine is a user enters a code though.

Code:

<input type="text" name="identifier" value="" style="width:70px; font-size:11px;" />

Any ideas?

Thanks
