I use Bootstrap 4.5, where it is possible to check the filling of the form, for example by inserting required.
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name_1" required>
How can I please check where I need to have input #1 OR input #2 filled in?
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name_1">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name_2">
if you want to check whether the input#1 OR input#2 is filled. I recommend you to write a piece of javascript code to check that. if you are familiar with java script, create a separate javascript file and write a function to validate. or else you can just put a script tag inside the head tag as follows.
Javascript Validation:
<head>
<script>
function validateForm(){
if(document.myform.input1.value == "" || document.myform.input2.value == ""){
alert("Both input1 and input2 should not be empty!");
}
}
</script>
</head>
HTML form:
<form name="myform" method="post" onsubmit="validateForm()" >
Input1: <input type="text" name="input1"><br/>
Input2: <input type="text" name="input2"><br/>
<input type="submit">
</form>

I'm trying to insert a variable collected from a form into a URL, but I don't want the "?variable=value" part of the URL.
<form action="http://www.example.com/<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['entry']);?>/" method="GET">
<input type="text" value="" name="entry" id="entry">
<input type='submit'>
</form>
Is there any easy way to do this? I want the browser to go to the following URL when the user types "whatever"
http://www.example.com/whatever/
Edit:
I've changed the code to the following, which seems to work, but have I now introduced a script vulnerability?
<form onSubmit=" location.href = 'https://www.example.com/' + document.getElementById('entry').value + '/' ; return false; ">
<input type="text" value="" name="entry" id="entry" placeholder="Your Promo Code">
<input name="promoSubmit" type="submit" value="Buy Now">
</form>
you could use javascript for this kind of tasks, i don't see why would you involve server side for such thing
but the easiest answer will be like:
<script>
function go(){
window.location='http://www.example.com/'+document.getElementById('url').value;
}
</script>
<input type='text' id='url'>
<button id='btn_go' onclick='javascript:go();'>Go</button>
Here's what I have, below, trying to use bits from similar answers here, plus items from the parsley site.. Nothing happens..User is not alerted that at least 1 box must be checked. Do I have this all wrong? Thank you in advance for any clues!
<form action="success.html" id="contact-form" data-parsley-validate>
<label for="language">Please Choose your Language:<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language" value="english" parsley-group="language" parsley-mincheck="1">English<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language" value="spanish" parsley-group="language" >Spanish<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language" value="french" parsley-group="language" >French
</label>
You have some problems with your code:
parsley-group doesn't exist. There is a data-parsley-group and is applicable if you want to validate a portion of your form.
parsley-mincheck="1" doesn't exist. There is a data-parsley-mincheck="1".
Assuming that you require at least one language, but can accept more, this code should do the trick:
<form action="success.html" id="contact-form" data-parsley-validate>
<label for="language">Please Choose your Language:<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language[]"
value="english" required>English<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language[]"
value="spanish" required>Spanish<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="language[]"
value="french" required >French</label>
<button type="submit" id="submit-button">Submit form</button>
</form>
$(document).ready(function() {
// bind parsley to the form
$("#contact-form").parsley();
// on form submit, validate form and, if valid, show valid in the console
$("#contact-form").submit(function() {
$(this).parsley("validate");
if ($(this).parsley("isValid")) {
console.log('valid');
}
event.preventDefault();
});
});
If you want the user to select one and only one option, I advice you to use radio buttons.
I have to create a form with a submit bottom following a link
<form action="http://domain/**(((MY TEXT INPUT VALUE)))**.htm">
<input type="text" name="verb">
<input type="submit" value="Conjugate">
</form>
something like this.
please note that every link should be different.
I also want that the new page be opened in a new tab/window
could you please help me, and also make changes to the form code if there is sth under newer standards. Thank you!
You need to use javascript to get the TEXTBOX value and then place it into the form action.
You can create the submit button with an onclickevent.
Or you can use jQuery
$('#btnSubmit').click(function(){
var sTextValue = $("#MyText").val();
$('#MyForm').attr('action', 'htttp://domain/' + sTextValue + '.htm');
$('#MyForm').submit();
});
And the HTML
<form id="MyForm" action="">
<input id="MyText" type="text" name="verb">
<input id="btnSubmit" type="button" value="Conjugate">
</form>
There are many ways to accomplish this. That's just one of them.
<form action="http://domain/**(((MY TEXT INPUT VALUE)))**.htm" id="btnForm">
<input type="text" name="verb" onchange='javascript:document.getElementById("btnForm").action = "http://domain/"+ this.value +".htm"'>
<input type="submit" value="Conjugate" >
</form
This would update as soon you type the text. It wouldn't require jquery. it makes use of onchange event handler of input type text
<form action="http://domain/**(((MY TEXT INPUT VALUE)))**.htm" id="btnForm">
<input type="text" name="verb" onchange='updateFormAction(this.value)'>
<input type="submit" value="Conjugate" >
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateFormAction(value){
var btnForm = document.getElementById("btnForm");
btnForm.action = "http://domain/"+ value +".htm";
}
</script>
This is more explanatory form. Its based on onchange event handler for text types.
I need to merge these 2 forms into 1 so it passes the email address to all 3 sources.
Is it possible?
Form 1:
<form method="post" id="transparent_redirect_form" name="transparent_redirect_form" action="https://joinalpha.com/launch/signup.php/taster">
<input type="text" id="signup_email_address" name="signup_email_address" placeholder="you#business.com" />
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" />
</form>
Form 2:
<form method="post" action="http://joinalpha.com/blog/signup/"><input type="hidden" name="ip" value="213.106.180.209" />
<input type="text" name="email" id="s2email" value="you#business.com" onfocus="if (this.value == 'you#business.com') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'you#business.com';}" />
<input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="Subscribe" />
</form>
Each form has only one field and one action - to send the email address somewhere...
Any clues how i do this?
I would suggest to use javascript.
Create a button or something outside of the form, then invoke the submit of the form, then use the DOM to change the action in the form, and call submit again.
I have a form with a few textareas in it and I need to figure out a way to automatically insert the word "null" as the textarea values if a user chooses not to include any data in the textarea fields. I would greatly appreciate any one who would be willing to help me out with this. Thank you!

Use a shorthand if:
var myValue = myText.value ? myText.value : 'null';
This is, essentially:
var myValue = function() {
if (myText.value) {
return myText.value;
} else {
return 'null';
}
}
With that said, I don't feel you should include this logic on the client. It may be best if whatever you're sending these values handle this scenario, if you have control over it.
So if you are using jQuery then you would do something like this when they click on the submit button, the return true is there so that it will continue with the submit after this function is run.
$(function() {
$('#submitButton').click(function() {
$('textarea').each(function(element) {
if ($(this).text() === '') {
$(this).text('null');
}
});
return true;
});
});
I have a JSFiddle that you can try to see what it does.

I assume you don't want the word 'null' appearing in the UI. I am also assuming that you are handling the returned values in some sort of server-side script.
Be that the case, I would simply test the length of the values stored in the textareas, and if the length is zero (and remember to check for entered spaces etc. using TRIMs and string cleaning routines) I would simply do (pseudo code):
if (mytextarea1.text.length == 0)mytextarea1.text='null'
if (mytextarea2.text.length == 0)mytextarea2.text='null'
etc.
