JavaScript - No Submit Until Form Validates
Hi all,
I am building a custom validator. I don't want any suggestions on using a jQuery framework, i just want to ask a few question on how best to continue. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> //Validator Strings And Expressions. var Letters = /^[A-Za-z]+$/; var Numbers = /^[0-9]+$/; var Alphanumeric = /^[A-Za-z0-9]+$/; var Email = /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9~_\-]*(\.[a-z][a-z0-9~_\-]*)*@(([a-z0-9][a-z0-9_\-]*\.)+[a-z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3})$/i; var Telephone = "0123456789- +()"; document.onkeyup = function(event){ //IE doesn't pass in the event object var event = event || window.event; //IE uses srcElement as the target var target = event.target || event.srcElement; var strId = target.id switch(target.id){ case "M_FIRSTNAME": validEmpty(strId,"* Please enter your 'First Name'."); validChars(strId,Letters,"* Your 'First Name' contains invalid characters."); break; case "M_LASTNAME": validEmpty(strId,"* Please enter your 'Last Name'."); validChars(strId,Letters,"* Your 'Last Name' contains invalid characters."); break; case "M_EMAIL": validEmpty(strId,"* Please enter your 'E-mail Address'."); validChars(strId,Email,"* Your 'E-mail Address' should be in the format you@email.com."); break; case "M_EMAIL_CONF": validEmpty(strId,"* Please confirm your 'E-mail Address'."); validMatch(strId,"M_EMAIL","Your 'E-mail Address' does not match.") break; case "M_USERNAME": validEmpty(strId,"* Please enter your 'Username'."); validChars(strId,Alphanumeric,"* Your 'Username' contains invalid characters."); validRange(strId,6,12,"* Your 'Username' should be between 6-12 characters."); OnCheckAvailability(strId); break; case "M_PASSWORD": validEmpty(strId,"* Please enter your 'Password'."); validChars(strId,Alphanumeric,"* Your 'Password' contains invalid characters."); validRange(strId,6,12,"* Your 'Password' should be between 6-12 characters."); break; case "M_PASSWORD_CONF": validEmpty(strId,"* Please confirm your 'Password'."); validMatch(strId,"M_PASSWORD","Your 'Password does not match.'") break; } //document.write(return true); }; document.onclick = function(event){ //IE doesn't pass in the event object var event = event || window.event; //IE uses srcElement as the target var target = event.target || event.srcElement; var strId = target.id switch(target.id){ case "M_TERMS": validCheck(strId,"* Please accept our Terms and Conditions."); break; } }; </script> This is the "on page" validation. This, as you can see calls functions held in an included file onkeyup. This all works well, also the username check ajax call works great. However I have 2 questions that I need to sort before this will work correctly. 1. Using M_USERNAME form as an example. If I start typing in there it will begin validating, which is great, However, if i typed in "matt_thomas" based on the validations, Empty:Pass, ValidChars:Fail, Range:Pass, Check:Pass. So I know that it isn't empty, it's the correct length and it's not already in the DB. But it fails because of the "_". This should mean that I receive the error i have setup for that failure. But I don't. Because I don't stop on a Fail, I receive the success message of the last function. So my question is; How Can I stop running any more functions when one fails? 2. Looking at the above code, How can I make sure that a submit will only work when ALL fields validate correctly? Is this possible? I'm sure it is, but Can't see the woods for the trees right now Thanks for any advice you can give. Even if you can just suggest something to look for. Also sorry in advance but I don't understand alot of "tech" jargon lol, so please keep it simple. Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm designing something to addon to an existing product. I'm struggling with some javascript problems. I want to submit a hidden field when you click on an image button, rather than it being an actual submit button. It's going to submit the value "1" to a PHP page, but I don't want it to actually have to GO to the PHP page, just submit it within the webpage. Is this possible? Thanks i want to validate against the dropdown fields below name usrchoices which repeat depends upon the data records from database...so if there is 5 questions retrieved from the database then the 5 dropdowns appears with name usrchoices, i don't know how to validate all these fields...so please any one here fix the following code and send me....Thanks a Million <script language="JavaScript"><!-- function validating(validate) { **if (form.usrchoices.selectedIndex == 0) { ****alert('Please select all Questions'); ****document.getElementById("validate").reset(); * ****return false; **} **return true; } //--></script> <form action="submitsurvey.asp" method="post" name="validate" id="validate" onSubmit="return validating()"> <% Do while Recordset_questions.EOF %> ****<select name="usrchoices" id="usrchoices"> **********<option value="" selected>Select Choices</option> **********<option value="Y">Yes</option> **********<option value="N">No</option> **********<option value="IDK">I Dont know</option> ********</select> <%Loop%> </form> Hi. I am having trouble getting my code to validate for my speed/distance calculator. I have 2 input prompts: 1 for hours and 1 for minutes. The issue is I can put a number for hours (e.g 7) and W for minutes and the result will display distance is NaN, whereas I am expecting it to alert user to input a valid number. The same issue applies if I switch the order of isNan(hours) and isNaN(mins) If you have even the slightest idea of what I have done wrong, or what I am missing I will truly appreciate the input. Thanks! Code: <html> <head> <title>Sound Travel Calculator</title> <script type="text/javascript"> // ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? // the program works pretty well except if i put, lets say 7 hours and w mins then it will say the distance traveled is NaN. but it should be re-prompting to enter hours and mins. It doesn't matter if I switch the order of isNan(hours) and isNaN(mins) // ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? // Setting our variables based on user input var hours = 0; var mins = 0; var m_per_secs = 340; alert("Speed of Sound \n\nAt Sea Level Sound Travels At 340 Metres Per Second \n\nIf You Would Like To Know How many Kilometres sound Will Travel In A Given Time, Click OK"); hours = prompt("Please Enter Hours (If less than 1 hour, just type 0)"); mins = prompt("Please Enter Minutes"); // Validating input for a number less than zero or an not a number while ((isNaN(hours)) || (isNaN(mins)) && (hours < 0) || (mins < 0)) { alert("Please enter a numeric value, zero or greater"); hours = prompt("Please Enter Hours (If less than 1 hour, just type 0)"); mins = prompt("Please Enter Minutes"); } // if there is no input, the value is set to zero if (hours =="") { hours = 0; } if (mins =="") { mins = 0; } // Calculations dist = (((parseFloat(hours)) * 60 * 60) + (parseFloat(mins * 60)) * parseFloat(m_per_secs) / 1000) // Output our calculation alert("The Distance of Sound Travelled is " + (dist) + " Kilometres"); //end program </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> Hey guys, noobie here.

Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes. I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return. html form: Code: <form id="f1" name="form1" onsubmit="validate_form(this); return false;" action="register" method="post"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;

Bernard Hi, I currently have a form which is submitted using a html submit button. I was wondering what the best way is of using ajax to submit the page without the use of a submit button, and when the page submits, a message is displayed saying thank you for your booking. Thanks. Hi there, Our development team created a page using JS to submit a form. It works fine in IE6... but not in IE8 nor FF3. They can't seem to detect why, so I'm posting this in the hopes that someone will be able to let me know... so that I can tell them. Man! Here is the code that they use: Code: function doSubmit() { var form = document.RegistrationForm; form.actionType.value = "userInfo"; form.action = "/fdl/benefitsmanager/registration/UserInfoSubmit.do"; var prefix = document.getElementById('userInfo.prefix')[document.getElementById('userInfo.prefix').selectedIndex].text; var suffix = document.getElementById('userInfo.suffix')[document.getElementById('userInfo.suffix').selectedIndex].text; document.getElementById('userInfo.prefixString').value = prefix; document.getElementById('userInfo.suffixString').value = suffix; form.submit(); } It's called by clicking the below image: Code: <a href="javascript:doSubmit();"><img src="../images/buttons/submit.gif" alt="Submit" width="108" height="23" border="0"></a> The above code works fine in IE6 and lets the user submit the form. However, in FF3 nothing happens when the image is clicked and I get the following error using Firebug: document.getElementById("userInfo.prefix") is null var prefix = document.getElementById(...rInfo.prefix').selectedIndex].text; And in IE8 nothing happens when the image is clicked and it just tells me that there is an error. I don't have access to the code, so I can't play around with manipulating the JS. Darn! However, can anyone see what might be causing the error in modern browsers? I'm a bit surprised it's IE8 and FF3 that are having issues... as IE6 is normally the least forgiving browser. Thanks so much, CO I have a php page with a form and some hyperlinks. User types in the form's textarea, if the user forgets to click on submit button of the form and click on any hyper link, it should alert the user "The form has not been submitted" please submit form. if user clicks OK, the form will be submitted. How can I implement this?? onmouseclick works?? please help me.. thanks in adv I would like you to ask for a ltl bit assistance. Here is my problem: I have a form with few input lines and textarea, and after a form i have three buttons: [Close] [Preview] [Submit] And here is what i need: Then visitor click [Preview]- the forms data should be passed to pop_up window for preview (something like submited to pop up window) for example "pop_up_preview.php" but the main page should be left at it is (for editing data) But then user clicks [Submit], a forms data is passed to another regular page, for example "validate_data.php" Thank you in advance for assistance and i hope soon to see example how to deal with that And sorry for my poor english Help, i need to edit my code to submit the form so that it will submit the data once clicked on. I am using this tutorial he http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutor...-jquery-plugin here is my code so far: my JS file: // run rating jQuery.fn.ratings = function(stars, initialRating) { //Save the jQuery object for later use. var elements = this; //Go through each object in the selector and create a ratings control. return this.each(function() { //Make sure intialRating is set. if(!initialRating) initialRating = 0; //Save the current element for later use. var containerElement = this; //grab the jQuery object for the current container div var container = jQuery(this); //Create an array of stars so they can be referenced again. var starsCollection = Array(); //Save the initial rating. containerElement.rating = initialRating; //Set the container div's overflow to auto. This ensure it will grow to //hold all of its children. container.css('overflow', 'auto'); //create each star for(var starIdx = 0; starIdx < stars; starIdx++) { //Create a div to hold the star. var starElement = document.createElement('div'); //Get a jQuery object for this star. var star = jQuery(starElement); //Store the rating that represents this star. starElement.rating = starIdx + 1; //Add the style. star.addClass('jquery-ratings-star'); //Add the full css class if the star is beneath the initial rating. if(starIdx < initialRating) { star.addClass('jquery-ratings-full'); } //add the star to the container container.append(star); starsCollection.push(star); //hook up the click event star.click(function() { //set the containers rating containerElement.rating = this.rating; // document.voteform.submit(); //When clicked, fire the 'ratingchanged' event handler. //Pass the rating through as the data argument. elements.triggerHandler("ratingchanged", {rating: this.rating}); }); star.mouseenter(function() { //Highlight selected stars. for(var index = 0; index < this.rating; index++) { starsCollection[index].addClass('jquery-ratings-full'); } //Unhighlight unselected stars. for(var index = this.rating; index < stars; index++) { starsCollection[index].removeClass('jquery-ratings-full'); } }); container.mouseleave(function() { //Highlight selected stars. for(var index = 0; index < containerElement.rating; index++) { starsCollection[index].addClass('jquery-ratings-full'); } //Unhighlight unselected stars. for(var index = containerElement.rating; index < stars ; index++) { starsCollection[index].removeClass('jquery-ratings-full'); } }); } }); }; $(document).ready(function() { $('#example-1').ratings(10).bind('ratingchanged', function(event, data) { $('#example-rating-1').text(data.rating); }); }); My html: PHP Code: echo '<form action="stream.php?task=vote" name="voteform" method="post"> '; echo ' <div id="example-1"></div> <input id="example-rating-1" type="hidden" name="score" value="0"/>'; echo '</form>'; Heres what i want it to do, I want it to submit the form once a star has been clicked, i already achieved this with the document.voteform.submit() in comments in the JS file but i cant seem to get the input to change so that it submits the actual user vote value. Please help me the showUser function has ajax in it that calls a php file that accesses a db to perform some calculations. I wanted to use the clicked function to force required dropdowns to be selected but I cannot seem to get the submit button to do anything. It does nothing when you click it. Not sure how to proceed, have looked everywhere. If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it. Code: <form id="forecastfilter" action="indexo_beats.php" method="get" onsubmit="clicked(this.value='yes')"> <div class="fc">Date:</div> <select name="date" onchange="showUser(this.value)"> <option value="">-- </option> <option value="Date: Past Hour">Past hour</option> <option value="Date: Past week">Past week</option> <option value="Date: Past month">Past month</option> <option value="Date: Past year">Past year</option> </select> <br /> <div class="fc">Wideouts:</div> <select name="wideouts" onchange="showUser(this.value)"> <option value="">-- </option> <option value="Wideouts: Higher">Revised Higher</option> <option value="Wideouts: Unchanged">Remains Unchanged</option> <option value="Wideouts: Lower">Revised Lower</option> </select> <br /> <div class="fc">QBs:</div> <select name="qbs" onchange="showUser(this.value)"> <option value="">-- </option> <option value="QBs: beat">Above Analyst Estimates</option> <option value="QBs: inline">Inline with Analyst Estimates</option> <option value="QBs: miss">Below Analyst Estimates</option> </select> <br /> <div class="fc">Football:</div> <select name="football" onchange="showUser(this.value)"> <option value="">-- </option> <option value="Football: beat">Above Analyst Estimates</option> <option value="Football: inline">Inline with Analyst Estimates</option> <option value="Football: miss">Below Analyst Estimates</option> </select> <br /> <div class="fc">Sentiment:</div> <select name="sentiment" onchange="showUser(this.value)"> <option value="">-- </option> <option value="Sentiment: good">Good</option> <option value="Sentiment: neutral">Neutral</option> <option value="Sentiment: bad">Bad</option> </select> <div class="searchbutton"> <input type="button" value="Search Draft" /> </div> </form> I have written some code below which hopefully changes teh value of the flag using JavaScript, I now want to request the value of the flag to see if it's a 1 or a 2? Code: <script> function collatedata() { document.f1.flag.value=1; document.f1.submit(); } function generateinvoices() { document.f1.flag.value=2; document.f1.submit(); } </script> <input type="hidden" name="flag" id="flag" /> <a href="javascript:collatedata();" class="button"><span>Collate</span></a> <a href="javascript:generateinvoices();" class="button"><span>Generate</span></a> I would like an image to be the button for a form to be submitted, but a sound is to play onclick for 3 seconds before the submit happens. It sounds easy, with a setTimeout delay, but I can't get it to wait: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function delay(){ mySoundObj1.TGotoAndPlay('/piano','start'); setTimeout('delay2()',3000) // piano sound lasts for 3 seconds } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function delay2(){ // nothing here I guess... } </script> <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="do something"> <INPUT type="image" onsubmit="delay();return true;" src="image/image.gif" width="60" height="60" type="submit"> </form> Can anyone do this? I mean maybe it is not possible? Why do I get "Object doesn't support method" error when clicking my links? Code: <script> function approve(){ document.forms['approve'].submit(); } function decline(){ document.forms['decline'].submit(); } </script> <form method="POST" name="approve" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="STATUS" value="APPROVED"> </form> <form method="POST" name="decline" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="STATUS" value="DECLINED"> </form> <p><a href="#" onClick="javascript: approve()" ; >Click here to APPROVE this request.</a></p> <p><a href="#" onClick="javascript: decline()" ; >Click here to DECLINE this request.</a></p> Ok - I'm using an 'off the peg' shopping cart (Mal's e-commerce) that posts items to the cart using a standard form with a submit button. What I want to do is send an item to the cart 'automatically', that is without the user actually filling a form or pressing a 'submit' button. What I send to the cart will be dependant upon the value of a cookie that will have been set at some earlier point in the session. My plan was to use document.write statements to build the 'form' and send it to the shopping cart... Here is the kind of form i will be creating: <form method="post" /> <input type="hidden" name="product" value="XXXXXXXX" /> <input type="hidden" name="price" value="0.00" /> <input type="hidden" name="qty" value="1" /> <input type="submit" value="add to basket" /> </form> 1) 1st problem the product value "XXXXXXXX" actually needs to be 'constructed' out of text plus the value held in the cookie eg... 'here is your COOKIEVALUE product' what i was going to try here was "here is your" + COOKIEVALUE + "product" which doesn't work - but that's what I'm trying to achieve. 2) 2nd problem is the submit 'button' needs to be an automatic 'invisible' action - i don't actually want to give them a button to click i just want to submit it from the coding. Hope that makes some kind of sense! I'm trying to submit a form without refreshing the page and I'm not having much luck. The form just resets and nothing is added to the database. The php script works fine as when I use form action - everything is added to the db. Here's the html form: Code: <div id="form"> <form method="post" action="" id="form"> <label for="sections" id="wybierz">Wybierz sekcje</label> <select id="sections" name="sections"> <option value="sekcjaA">Sekcja A</option> <option value="sekcjaB">Sekcja B</option> </select> <!-- Chose font & background color --> <label for="fontcolor1" id="colorsLabel">Wybierz kolor czcionki/ tla </label> <input class="color" id="fontcolor" name="fontColor" value="F0000F" /> <input class="color" id="bgcolor" name="bgcolor" value="ebebeb" /> <!-- Chose font --> <label for="font" id="choseFontLabel">Wybierz typ/ rozmiar czcionki<abbr title="Wybierz typ oraz rozmiar czcionki">(?)</abbr></label> <select id="font" name="font"> <option value="Arial" id="arial">Arial</option> <option value="Comic Sans Ms">Comic Sans MS</option> <option value="Courier New">Courier New</option> <option value="Georgia">Georgia</option> <option value="Impact" id="impact">Impact</option> <option value="Tahoma">Tahoma</option> <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option> <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option> <option value="Geneva">Geneva</option> <option value="Trebuchet MS">Trebuchet MS</option> </select> <!-- End chose font --> <!-- Chose font size --> <select id="fontSize" name="fontSize"> <option value="9">9px</option> <option value="10">10px</option> <option value="11">11px</option> <option value="12">12px</option> <option value="13">13px</option> <option value="14">14px</option> <option value="15">15px</option> <option value="16">16px</option> <option value="17">17px</option> <option value="18">18px</option> <option value="19">19px</option> <option value="20">20px</option> </select> <!-- End chose font size --> <!-- Chose line height --> <label for="lineHeight" id="lineHeightLabel">Wybierz wysokosc interlini/ odstep miedzy znakami</label> <select id="lineHeight" name="lineHeight"> <option value="8">8px</option> <option value="10">10px</option> <option value="11">11px</option> <option value="12">12px</option> <option value="13">13px</option> <option value="14">14px</option> <option value="15">15px</option> <option value="16">16px</option> <option value="17">17px</option> <option value="18">18px</option> <option value="19">19px</option> <option value="20">20px</option> <option value="21">21px</option> <option value="22">22px</option> <option value="23">23px</option> <option value="24">24px</option> <option value="25">25px</option> <option value="26">26px</option> <option value="27">27px</option> <option value="28">28px</option> <option value="29">29px</option> <option value="30">30px</option> </select> <!-- End chose line height --> <!-- Chose letter spacing --> <select id="letterSpacing" name="letterSpacing"> <option value="1">1px</option> <option value="2">2px</option> <option value="3">3px</option> <option value="4">4px</option> <option value="5">5px</option> <option value="6">6px</option> <option value="7">7px</option> <option value="8">8px</option> <option value="9">9px</option> <option value="10">10px</option> </select> <!-- End chose letter spacing --> <select id="fontStyle" name="fontStyle"> <option value="Normal">Normal</option> <option value="Italic">Italic</option> <option value="Bold">Bold</option> </select> <label for="tekst" id="wprowadz">Wprowadz tekst</label> <input type="button" value="PL" id="PL" onclick="readyTextPL();" /> <input type="button" value="ENG" id="ENG" onclick="readyTextENG();" /> <input type="button" value="Lorem..." id="lorem" onclick="readyTextLorem();" /> <textarea cols="45" rows="5" name="tekst" id="tekst" onclick="clearTextarea();"></textarea> <label for="add" id="addLabel">Dopisz <abbr title="Dopisz do wybranej sekcji">(?)</abbr></label> <input type="checkbox" value="Dodaj" id="add" /> <input type="button" value="Wykonaj" id="wykonaj" onclick="copyText();" /> <input type="button" value="Wyczysc Formularz" id="clear" onclick="clearAll();" /> <input type="submit" value="Zapisz" id="save" class="save" /> <span class="success" style="display:none"> Registration Successfully</span> </form> here's the script file I'm using: Code: // JavaScript Document $('.save').click(function(){ var sections = $('#sections').val(); var fontColor = $('#fontcolor').val(); var bgcolor = $('#bgcolor').val(); var font = $('#font').val(); var fontSize = $('#fontSize').val(); var lineHeight = $('#lineHeight').val(); var letterSpacing = $('#letterSpacing').val(); var fontStyle = $('#fontStyle').val(); //Datastring to pass through var dataString = 'sections=' + sections + '&fontColor' + fontColor + '&bgcolor' + bgcolor + '&font' + font + '&fontSize' + fontSize + '&lineHeight' + lineHeight + '&letterSpacing' + letterSpacing + '&fontStyle' + fontStyle; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "update.php", data: dataString, success: function(){ $('#success').fadeIn(200).show();} }); }); any ideas what's wrong? I am trying to get my form which is in PHP to submit when pressing the Enter key This is what I am using Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function submitFormWithEnter(myfield,e) { var keycode; if (window.event) { keycode = window.event.keyCode; } else if (e) { keycode = e.which; } else { return true; } if (keycode == 13) { myfield.form.submit(); return false; } else { return true; } } </script> PHP Code: <div id='aboutForm'> <span class='headerbox'><b>Your Profile Headline:</b></span> <span class='textbox'><input type='text' name='headline' class='zip' size='67 ' value='$headline' onKeyPress="return submitFormWithEnter(this,event)\"></span> </div> Anyway I can get this to work? Seems to be an issue with the "text" input I hope someone can help with this. I needed a form for my website and found one i liked so used there code, however i cannot get mine to work properly, i believe the problem exists here, however not sure what to do with it: <form action="contact.htm" method="post" name="contactForm" onsubmit="return validateForm()" > <p><strong>Contact information: </strong></p> <input type=hidden name="httpref" value="http://www.karenshealthandfitness.com/contact.htm"> also do i need a php file with this or something along those lines? Sorry if that sound lame, i am not the greatest at this just fumble my way through. Alright, working on an ajax image uploader, and im a bit rusty with JS. How would i go about hiding the form after the submit button is pressed, so it disappears? Heres my website. If you need the scripts, just ask. Thanks in advance. |
