HTML - Resetting A Form When Submitting

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.

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?

Hi all,

I'm looking for ways, how I can avoid multiple form submissions, when a user repeatedly (intentionally or not) refresh the browser (F5 button) after submitting a form?

The input in my form is simply an email address. Nothing else. It is used for forgot password function.

I have tried unset or set the $_POST['email'] to empty, but it doesn't help.

Is there a clever way to do this?

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 ?

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:

<form method="post" name="vs" id="vs" action="vs.php" >
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top"  width="30%" bgcolor="#ff9900" >

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.

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

I have some anchor tags in my user control ...now when i use tab key from key board and navigate to this anchor and press enter it opens a new window and after i am done with this new window (let's say i close it)and again press tab key the focus is moving out to another element in the control but not back to the same anchor.

Instead of key board if i use mouse click and then press tab key the focus is coming back to the same anchor.

How can i set the focus back on to the same anchor while i use key board tab.

I have this widget that a friend made for me. It allows the user to select the colors on the bracket bands on a picture of a mouth full of braces. If you grab a color and click on individual teeth - no problem. If you click on one of the buttons that colors all, top only, bottom only, odd only, even only, etc. When the button is clicked the page resets to the top.
Play with it and you'll see what I mean.

Any idea how I can make this not reset?

The widget is html - it is on a php page. any help would be appreciated.

What I want to have on my page is have what is submitted on a form to show up on the website. like a guestbook... How can I do that?

I'm able to create a form with a submit button.

What I would like to be able to do is take this table/form and allow it to be viewed. I'm going to see if i can mail it to myself, but I would like to be able to create some kind of something for every submission. Ideally, I would like this some kind of something to exist on the website. This some kind of something would be clicked on to bring up a view of the filled in table/form.

Hi all,

I am currently trying to add a form onto a site. Everything looks fine visually, due to the aid of W3. I would like the information the user inputs, to get submitted to an email account inbox. That can be done cant it?
I would like a page to come up to explain they have submitted there entry too. If anyone knows where I can find this out, that would be brilliant.


(Below is what I have so far)

Thanks
Tom

Hello,

This may be a stupid question, but does anybody know how, if it is possible to submit a form by using just a link? In this situation, I want to submit a form without using a submit button.

If anyone can help, that would be great.

When you type your email address into the text field and press submit, nothing happens. Here is my form code. I think everything is right on the database side... I didn't write it, or this, but I need to fix it xD I think the code was written in frontpage (I'm a notepad coder, myself), so there's some garbage in there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sondra

Code:

<form method="POST" name="e-newsletter" action="../librarynews-submit.asp">
<p>Email <input type="text" name="email" size="25"></p>
<hr>
<p>
<input type="checkbox" name="teen" value="yes">Check this box if you would also like to subscribe to the QPL Teen Newsletter.

I trying to create a html page with php that links to an SQL DB,I currently have 2 separate forms that submit information to the DB when I click the button relating to that form.I am trying to create it so that I have one submit button and when I click that it will enter the information from both forms into that DB.

<input type="submit" value="State the type of problem occurred"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

<?php
$solution = $_POST['solution'];


mysql_connect ("localhost", "root","password")  or die (mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("heskdb");
