JS window.onload doesn't load my function - forms

I've got JS form validation code and have to write HTML to it. Unfortunately, something is wrong. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong? When I click submit button there is no change.
window.onload = init;
function validateForm() {
var user = document.forms["myForm"]["user"].value;
var password = document.forms["myForm"]["password"].value;
if (user == "") {
document.getElementById("poleUser").innerHTML = "<img src='./unchecked.gif'/> Proszę podać nazwisko";
} else {
document.getElementById("poleUser").innerHTML = "<img src='./checked.gif'/>";
}
if (password.lenght < 6) {
document.getElementById("poleHasla").innerHTML =
"<img src='./unchecked.gif'/> Hasło musi zawierać co najmnej 6 znaków";
} else {
document.getElementById("poleHasla").innerHTML = "<img src='./checked.gif'/>";
}
return false;
}
function init() {
document.getElementsByName('myForm').onsubmit = validateForm;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm">
Name: <input type="texts" name="user"><span id="poleUser"></span><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password"><span id="poleHasla"></span>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

You need to properly format the function calls
document.getElementsByName('myForm').onsubmit = validateForm;
should be
document.getElementsByName('myForm').onsubmit = validateForm();
(Notice the parentheses at the end).
However, I'd just like to address how you're doing this. In most cases, assigning the onSubmit property statically makes more sense than doing it dynamically. In this case, there really doesn't seem to be any reason for initializing the property using JS.

doGet fails when same commands are called as a subfunction within it

Trying to learn Google Web Apps, I'm having the hardest time in 4 years of studying Google services. At this point, with help from other people, I have assembled a Web App form which successfully processes a few questions and accepts the submission of a file, sending the file to a folder on my Google Drive, appending the form answers to a Google Sheet, and sending me an email alerting me to the form submission. I think I understand how it works, but in trying to make the simplest of changes to it, it stopped working and gave me an error message I don't what to do with.
The form requires the user to upload an image of their COVID vaccination card. Since some people have more than one card, the form allows the user to upload more than file. This screen shot shows what the form displays upon successful submission.
The form fields and their answers remain in place, and below them appears the message "Uploaded successfully! You may upload another." What I want to have happen, besides a message like this appearing, is for all form fields and their answers disappear except for the Vacc Card/Choose File and Submit buttons.
So, I am trying to follow the instructions in this video from the highly popular YouTube Channel Learn Google Sheets & Excel Spreadsheets: Create Views (Pages) in Web App - Google Apps Script Web App Tutorial - Part 7
In this video, we see how to make the submission of a Web App form add to the current URL the string "?v=form" or "?v=whatever" and have the DoGet(e) function offer a different HTML file depending on whether the URL contains "&v" and if does, what follows that.
However, in following THE VERY FIRST STEP in the instructions, the App stopped working. All I did was cut what was inside the function doGet(e), place it inside a new function loadForm(), and put inside the doGet a calling of that function:
function doGet(e) {
if (e.parameters.v == 'form') {
return loadForm()
}
This one change caused the App to fail, returning nothing but a screen reading "The script completed but did not return anything."
My code:
/*
* Original doGet function; works fine. */
// function doGet(e){
// return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('index').evaluate().addMetaTag('viewport', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1')
// .setXFrameOptionsMode(HtmlService.XFrameOptionsMode.ALLOWALL)
// }
/** Step that caused this to fail: */
function doGet(e) {
if (e.parameters.v == 'form') {
return loadForm()
} // else {HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<h1>Hello<h1>')} // This would have been the next step, and the step after that making a second HTML file.
// Commenting out this step did NOT help.
}
function loadForm(){
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('index').evaluate().addMetaTag('viewport', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=1')
.setXFrameOptionsMode(HtmlService.XFrameOptionsMode.ALLOWALL)
} /** There you have it. All that follows is part of what works. */
function uploadFiles(formObject) {
var folderID = "1nvhxUoj9uRlE0KpBNjW3cosIuuRpAQly"; // Massage / VaccinationCards
try {
var folder = DriveApp.getFolderById(folderID);
var fileUrl = "";
//Upload file if exists
if (formObject.myFile.length > 0) {
var name = formObject.name;
var namePref = formObject.namePref;
var pronouns = formObject.pronouns;
var ready = formObject.ready;
var email = formObject.email;
var phone = formObject.phone;
var callTimes = formObject.callTimes;
var questions = formObject.questions;
var blob = formObject.myFile;
var file = folder.createFile(blob);
fileUrl = file.getUrl();
} else {
fileUrl = null;
}

return is missing on the else part of your if-else statement
Replace your doGet function by
function doGet(e) {
if (e.parameters.v == 'form') {
return loadForm()
} else {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<h1>Hello<h1>')
}
}
Below are a couple of function that could be used to debug your doGet function by using the Google Apps Script editor.
/**
* Test case 1: v parameter equal to 'form'
*
*/
function test_1_doGet(){
const e = {
parameter: {}
};
e.parameter.v = 'form';
doGet(e);
}
/**
* Test case 2: No v parameter
*
*/
function test_1_doGet(){
const e = {
parameter: {}
};
doGet(e);
}

Why Is my script freezing up when I hit enter?

The majority of the Add-on is good but whenever I hit enter (which is, in my opinion, the most common way to submit a form, for example, a login form), but all it does is blank out.
I've tried linking the script with a onkeydown like so:
<div onkeydown="handle(event)">blagh blagh blagh</div>
but I still get the same results:
<html>
<form id='myForm' style="font-family:Georgia;">
<table>
<tr><td><h2>Enter your Password</h2></td></tr>
<tr><td><p>DO NOT HIT ENTER ON YOUR KEYBOARD!!!!!</p></td></tr>
<tr><td><input name='password' type='password' value="" onkeypress="handle(event)"></td></tr>
<tr><td><div id="submitbuttcontainer"><img id="submitloader" style="display:none;" src='https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-S87nMBe6KWE/TuB9dR48F0I/AAAAAAAAByQ/0Z96LirzDqg/s27/load.gif' /><input id="submitbutt" type='button' onclick='showWorking();google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(onSuccess).decodeForRequest(document.getElementById("myForm"));' name="Submit" value="Submit"></div></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
<script>
function onSuccess(obj) {
document.getElementById('submitbutt').style.display="block";
document.getElementById('submitloader').style.display="none";
if(obj.status == 'success') {
google.script.host.closeDialog();
browser.msgbox('Access Granted', browser.buttons.OK)
}
else {
browser.msgbox('ALERT!!','!OOF!','Incorrect Password. Please retry', browser.buttons.OK);
}
}
function showWorking() {
document.getElementById('submitbutt').style.display="none";
document.getElementById('submitloader').style.display="block";
}
function handle(e){
if(e.keyCode === 13)
document.getElementById('submitbuttcontainer').click();
}
</script>
</html>
All I'm trying to do is get the form to submit when I hit enter and not blank out. I always hit enter to submit a form but in this case all it does is blank out the form and all I have is whiteness.
Here's the link for the complete source code (don't know if this will work because I'm in a school district):
https://script.google.com/a/bcsdschools.net/d/1_YUx4ZP3qEWVcFMc-MvfEYX2S34r7-b4M0iRlE_JQa81T3ZubN5OeISa/edit)
Problem
Hitting enter key results in form submission (which is explicitly forbidden in Apps Script due to its client-to-server communication implementation).
Solution 1 - handle inputs individually
Add preventDefault() to a keydown event if key is enter (btw, keypress event is deprecated, see reference on MDN, use the keydown / keyup instead):
var ENTER_CODE = 13;
function handle(e) {
if(e.keyCode === ENTER_CODE) {
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('submitbuttcontainer').click();
}
}
Solution 2 - handle form submit
You can listen for a submit event on your form instead and invoke preventDefault() as the only statement in event handler or handle form submission at the same time if you expect form to be submitted on enter key hit:
//assumption: form is initiated elsewhere in code;
form.addEventListener('submit', (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
//handle submission;
});
You can also prevent all forms from being submitted to make the setup flexible:
(() => {
const { forms } = document;
Object.values(forms).forEach(
form => form.addEventListener("submit", (e) => e.preventDefault())
);
})();
Or, alternatively, use event delegation and register one listener on the document since the event bubbles up:
document.addEventListener("submit", (e) => e.preventDefault());
Suggestion
Please, use addEventListener instead of on[event name here] attributes. This way is much more flexible and has the benefit of being concise and easy for others to read.

SharpSpring - Prevent form from automatically appearing if user has filled out form (without relying on cookies)

Ok, this is related to the question I asked a short while ago: Silverstripe/PHP/jQuery - Once form has been filled out by user, prevent it from automatically appearing for each visit
Something has changed since then. Per request of the client, the form must not automatically appear if the user has already filled it out and has thus been placed into SharpSpring. Originally, I was creating a cookie on successful form submission using JavaScript. However, the latest concern is that it's not effective enough as cookies are registered only to certain devices and browsers, and users can clear their cookies at any time.
Essentially, the desired result is to prevent the form from automatically appearing if the user has been registered in SharpSpring (a separate domain) without having to rely on cookies.
Has anyone ever attempted something like this, checking to see if a user has submitted a form to another domain?
For reference, here is the form code I have setup:

I'm confused by the WordPress code here, rather than SilverStripe, it's not clear in your question which platform you're using.
Basically, if you want something more robust than cookies, you'll need to store the registration in the database and check it there (assuming the registration form is on your site). This means you handle the form submission on your site, send the data to the remote site and check the responses, and if all goes well, save the fact that the user has registered remotely into your database where you can check when deciding whether to show the form or not, next time.
If you don't have access to the registration form, or you want to also notice registrations made independently of your site, then you need to have an API you can query on the remote site in order to see if the user is registered.
I found a sharpspring API, but I'm not sure if it's relevant.

I am able to get the data from controller and bind it using knockout. There is a partial view that loads data from controller. But when submitting the updated data, I do not get the data that was updated, instead getting error that "FirstName" property could not be accessed from null reference. I just need to get pointers where I am going wrong especially the right way to create ViewModels and use them.
When you are submitting the form in self.SubmitForm function you are passing Json object which is converted from Knockout view model.
So make sure you are providing the data-bind attributes in all input tags properly. If you are using Razor syntax then use data_bind in Html attributes of input tags.
Check 2-way binding of KO is working fine. I can't be sure as you have not shared your partial view Razor code.
Refer-
http://knockoutjs.com/documentation/value-binding.html
In Chrome you can see what data you are submitting in Network tab of javascript developer console. The Json data that you are posting and ViewModel data structure you are expecting in controller method should match.
You can also change the parameters to expect FormCollection formCollection and check what data is coming from browser when you are posting.

No frills (non-jQuery) type-ahead for dropdowns?

If I have a bare dropdown box, what is the easiest no frills way to add type ahead?
There is nothing complicated or dynamic about the box itself, it just has a lot of options (here, US States).
Essentially I'm wondering if this simple case can be done in a few lines of code if I'm willing to give up on all the other features like AJAX.
This should work:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function typeDropdown(typedStr,ddObj) {
var index = ddObj.getElementsByTagName("option");
for(var i = 0; i < index.length; i++) {
if(index[i].firstChild.nodeValue.toLowerCase().substring(0,typedStr.length) == typedStr.toLowerCase()) {
index[i].selected = true;
break;
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="search" onkeyup="typeDropdown(this.value,this.parentNode.dd);" />
<select name="dd">
<option>Your Options</option>
<option>Here</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
It's not as pretty, but I think this is the simplest you can get.
