JavaScript - Switch Form Action After Php Validation
I need for the submission of an unvalidated from to reload the page to allow for php validation which, if passed, would use javascript to change the form's action to an external site.
First, is the following approach sound? Code: <script type="text/javascript"> if(my_php_validation_ok == true) document.form.action="the_external_url" else document.form.action="current_page.php" </script> Second, how should the <form> action be styled to accomplish this? Similar TutorialsHi guys. I was wondering if its possible to switch a form action using javascript. Because im trying to have a search field on my main site for my forum and website. By having two boxes underneath my search field so people can select if the want to search my phpbb forum ore my site. Well anyway, mabey switching the form action is not the right approach. Any tips are welcome thanks. So I have a little calendar widget on my site, for people to choose their dates for a reservation system. They then click a 'Book Now' button which creates a dynamic url (using their start date and the number of dates) to the booking engine. The problem is, the way it accomplishes this (window.location.href=), breaks cross-domain tracking on Google Analytics. And I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do it any other way. What I'd like to do is have clicking the Book Now button change the URL in the form action within the form with ID resForm, and then submit the form. I'm hoping someone can help me edit the form so that it accomplishes this. I'd be incredibly thankful. This is what I currently have: Code: <script> jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(".book-now").click(function() { if($('#check-in').length > 0 && $('#DepartureDate').val() != '') { var data = $('#check-in').val(); var arr = data.split('/'); var datac = $('#DepartureDate').val(); var arr2 = datac.split('/'); var oneDay = 24*60*60*1000; // hours*minutes*seconds*milliseconds var firstDate = new Date(arr[2],arr[0] -1,arr[1]); var secondDate = new Date(arr2[2],arr2[0] -1,arr2[1]); var diffDays = Math.round((firstDate.getTime() - secondDate.getTime())/(oneDay)); if ((diffDays) < 0) { diffDays = Math.abs(diffDays); var link = "https://res.windsurfercrs.com/bbe/page1.aspx?propertyID=13841&checkin=" + arr[0] + "/" + arr[1] + "/" + arr[2] + "&nights=" + diffDays; console.log(link); window.location.href= link; } else { alert ('Please fill in correct Check-In and Check-Out dates. The Check-In date must be before the Check-Out date.'); } } else { alert ('Please fill in a Check-In and Check-Out date, thanks!'); } }); }); </script> The form looks like this: Code: <form action="#" onSubmit="_gaq.push(['_linkByPost',this]);" method="post" id="resForm"> <input type='text' name="checkin" id="check-in" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" data-default="MM/DD/YYYY" class='arrivaldate'/> <input name="checkout" id="DepartureDate" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" data-default="MM/DD/YYYY" class='departuredate'/> <input type="button" value="BOOK NOW" class='book-now' /> </form> Reply With Quote 01-25-2015, 12:46 AM #2 Old Pedant View Profile View Forum Posts Supreme Master coder!

Need help adding var target to this form action Would This be correct? var form = inp.form; form.target = "_self"; Code: <html> </head> <script type="text/javascript"> function formop(inp,op) { var form = inp.form; form.action = op + ".php"; var temp = inp.id.split(","); form.id.value = temp[0]; form.FirstName.value = temp[1]; form.LastName.value = temp[2]; } </script> </head> <body> <form method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="id"> <input type="hidden" name="FirstName"> <input type="hidden" name="LastName"> <input type='image' id='show,me,data' onclick=formop(this,'add'); src='static/icon16/add.jpg'> <input type='image' id='show,me,data' onclick=formop(this,'edit'); src='static/icon16/edit.jpg'> <input type='image' id='show,me,data' onclick=formop(this,'delete'); src='static/icon16/delete.jpg'> </form> </body> OK I basically have a form field called prepend and if someone enters something in there I want it to prepend to my form action="" how can I insert anything into action ="" depending on what is entered I hope this makes sense. I AM SO LOST <script type="text/javascript"> function SearchGo(){ var searchField = document.getElementById("SearchInput"); var url = "http://url" document.location = url + encodeURIComponent(searchField.value); } </script> //field where URL will be entered and needs to be prepended <input type="text" name="prepend"> //form output is here <form name="searchform" target="_blank" action="";> <input type="button" value="Search" onClick="SearchGo();"/> Hello guys, so i have a problem. i have a css/div box, and i have a login form. what im tryn to do is make it so that when i login, it it takes whats in the action of the form and shows it in the div box. the div box is like one of those cool popup boxes, it's done by using javascript and css. anyway, the div box works. the login form works. i just haven't been able to figure out how to get it to appear in the div instead of into a new page. so if any1 can help that would be much appreciated! here's my code: Code: <head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="popup.css" /></head> <form name="Login" method="post" action="login/check.php"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td>Password:</td> </tr> <tr> <td><input name="myusername" type="text" class="txt" id="myusername"></td> <td><input name="mypassword" type="password" class="txt" id="mypassword"></td> <td><input type="submit" class="btn" name="Submit" value="Login" onmouseover='this.style.cursor="pointer" ' onfocus='this.blur();' onclick="document.getElementById('PopUp').style.display = 'block' "></td></tr> </table> </form> <div id='PopUp'> <br /> <div id="close"> <a id="link" onmouseover='this.style.cursor="pointer"' onfocus='this.blur();' onclick="document.getElementById('PopUp').style.display = 'none'"> <span id="span">Close</span></a> </div> </div> I have a form with an action url, but I need to alter it on submit. What I need to do is take the value of the text field, escape it, and append it on the end of the action url. Something like this: action url: /search/node appended action url: /search/node/some_escaped_string To do this, I create the function ahead of time and change the submit to a button with onClick. What isn't working is the escape mechanism. If I were to test for "ttt hhh", I'll get "/search/node/ttt hhh", instead of "/search/node/ttt%20hhh" Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function urlAppend() { termsValue = document.getElementById('terms').value; escapedVar = escape(termsValue); appendedUrl = "/search/node/" + escapedVar; location.href = appendedUrl; } </script> <form method="get" action="/search/node"> <input type="text" name="terms" id="terms"></input> <input type="button" value="Search" onClick="urlAppend();"> </form> Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Hi, I'm trying to make a form that when you click "submit", the original page goes somewhere, and it also creates a popup for the action URL. Currently, I can get the popup portion, but the can't get the original window to redirect somewhere else. this is what I have in the head. Code: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function popupform(myform, windowname) { if (! window.focus) return true; window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=no'); myform.target=windowname; return true; } //--> </SCRIPT> And this is what I have in the body Code: <form id="update" action="update.php" method="POST" name="update" onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')"> I have three buttons on my form. The user has to be logged in for the buttons to do anything. Is it possible to get an alert to popup on the form page without the form action occuring? If so, how do I go about it?
hi, Can any one tell how to change action attribute in form tag using javascript. thanks in advance regards sugeet OK so I have a variable called url and I want to move its contents into the form action once the button is submitted. <script type="text/javascript"> function elibrarySearchGo(){ var url = "http://url'" } </script> <form name="searchform" target="_blank" action="" onsubmit=""> I need the syntax as to how to put in a variable coming from javascript inside onsubmit="document.form.action.value = variable" for example. Also, is it better to run this population of the action onsubmit or onclick? Thanks all in advance!! Here is the code for test.html: Code: <html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> function OnSubmitForm(){ document.myform.action ="insert.html"; return true; } </script> <form name="myform" onsubmit="return OnSubmitForm()" method="get"> <input type='radio' name='Search' value='test'>test</input> </form> <a href='javascript:document.myform.submit()'><img src='images/buttonnext.jpg'></a> </body> </html> The way I want it to work: when the img (buttonnext.jpg) is clicked, the form is submitted. When the form is submitted it runs the javascript, which sets the action to be that insert.html is loaded. i.e. the end result should be to redirect to insert.html?Search=test The way that it is working now: the page is redirected to test.html?Search=test Note: If I use a submit button that is part of the form (i.e. input field with type "submit") the page is redirected correctly. What do I need to change to accomplish my goal? Hi Guys, I'm developing a registration form to be viewed on an iPad, this will be put on display in store for customers to complete. The idea is that once the form has been completed a success message will show in lightbox form (currently using query reveal) and then after a few seconds disappear and the form will be refreshed. Any idea on how to do this? I am using the below code but the obvious error is with the action. "<form name="signup" class="form" id="signup" action="data-reveal-id="myModal"" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_signup(this)">" All help very much appreciated. Hey all - I've searched high and low for this through Google, and tried piecing together some solutions, but 1) I'm way too incompetent from a Javascript perspective to take two ideas and make them work and 2) I've spent close to 2 hours and dont have a solution. SOOOO I thought I'd ask the geniuses here for some ideas: I have a page with an iFrame called portalCalcFrame that I'm trying to submit data to to do some calculations and preview in the iFrame before actually submitting the page to the next...well...page (both the "Recalculate" button to send to iFrame and the "Next Step" button to submit it further into the process are on the main frame). So I've got two problems. A) I need to submit a form to a different target, aka portalCalcFrame B) I need to submit the form to a different "action" page than my form actually submits to. (The form submits to a page called step2.php, whereas the iFrame needs to load page calcframe.php and have the form submit to that) I don't really know where to start, Javascript is far from my forte. I've taken it a couple of different ways. Any ideas guys? I love you long time. Thanks in advance! JE Hi, I have a body onload doing multiple things, changing a select option value, changing the form submit action and then auto submitting. Everything works fine until the auto submit part of it. Code: function run() { document.myform.myselect.selectedIndex = 1; document.myform.action = 'page.php?x=1&y=2'; document.myform.submit(); } <body onload="run()"> Thanks for any help with this I'm fairly new to javascript and would appreciate any help offered. I'm trying to use the input from an HTML form to interact with a switch statement in javascript. I want my users to input a few specific words, and have each word they input redirect them to a specific page. Below is what I've currently come up with. I cannot get it to function properly as it continues to display the default output regardless of the input Code: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" > <!-- function checkform ( form ) { var favcolour =("form.data", "") switch (favcolour) { case "red": window.location="index.html"; break; case "green": window.location="index.html#tips"; break; case "blue": window.location="index.html#blue"; break; default: document.writeln("Invalid Input"); }; } // --> </script> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);"> <input type="text" name="data" /> Again any help would be greatly appreciated! Hi everyone In the below code i tried to write java scirpt in action attribute of form tag in html . Why i wrote that was i want to get the scirpt variable as a part of the url of the target page . I also tried using the location.href="targetpage?value="+value . But It is not redirecting to targetpage because of the action attribute in the form tag. And if we use location.href without action attribute only that script variable was posted and all other remaining textboxes and other form items are being not posted .. Thats why I wrote the scirpt in action attribute. I want the action attribute to work and also the java script variable to be posted .so i wrote the script tag in action attribute of form tag . I hope u got the Scenario . Please help me to resolve the issue..

I have my website www.gebcn.com. If you view source you will see all that I have done, but more importantly my problem. I have the JS code at the top there and I am unable to W3C validate my HTML because of the JS. I am using XHTML strict and would like to stay using it. The JS I have at the top is my form validation code. I am able to do any validating that I need with this "snippet" of code, I have shrank it from my library version just to use for this newsletter. Until now W3C validating was not important now for some reason it is and I am faced with this problem. I am not a Javascript guy more of a HTML/CSS guy and I can manipulate JS to suit my needs. <problem> I have tried to make this "snippet" of JS code an external file but receive multiple errors with the JS calling for the FORM NAME as it is not on the same page. The form NAME=NEWSLETTER is another problem, as W3C says I am unable to use attribute "NAME" in this location. <problem> I would like to keep the JS close to how it is now as I have a library to use this JS over and over again. Any pointers in the right direction or solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hopefully it is not to hard huh If there is anything anyone needs, the code pasted here, or anything else please let me know. Thanks again! I've literally tried everything. 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;

(newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong? here is my code so far... Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok. Code: .... <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { document.forms[0].username.focus(); } function validate(form) { var form = document.getElementById("reg"); var e = document.getElementById("error"); e.style.background = "red"; for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { var el = form.elements[i]; if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password") { if(el.value == "") { e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!"; el.style.border = "1px solid red"; el.focus(); return false; } else { el.style.border = "1px solid green"; return false; } } } var un = form.username; un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; un.focus(); return false; } var pw = form.password; pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; pw.focus(); return false; } e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!"; e.style.background = "green"; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <h1>My Cool Website</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="padding"> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
