How can I send text from a textarea to a form? - forms

I want to know how I can send text from a textarea to a form by clicking on a button. Both the textarea and form are on the same page. I've searched the site and the web but can't find the right answer. Any help would be great, thanks.

<form action="html_form_action_here" method="post">
<textarea rows="2" cols="20" name="text_area">
</textarea>
</form>

Possibility of a Form without a Submit Button

hope You all have a great day.Here I'm trying to create a form without submit buttons,but when press enter on the text-box the whole text-box gonna hide.why is this is happening?,is it actually possible to create a form without a submit button or is that is a mandatory thing?,thanks for Your valuable time.
<form >
<input type="number" name="cbarcode" id="cbarcode" autofocus/>
</form>
When you hit 'enter' it submits the form.
I believe this is a natural part of a 'form' behavior for accessibility. Input inside of a form is meant to be data the user sends or inserts somewhere which is likely the reasoning behind this.
You can add to the Html form onsubmit="return false" or return preventDefault() as an event handler / function with other handling code you may want to provide.
Try this:
<form onsubmit="return false;">
<input type="number" name="cbarcode" id="cbarcode" autofocus/>
</form>

Vuejs how to prevent form submit on enter but still save work in inputs?

This prevent enter submit,but at the moment prevent enter in inputs.
I need that enterkey work in inputs but not submit form.
<template id="form-template">
<form action="save-passport" #keypress.enter.prevent method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" >
<input type="submit" v-show="loaded" v-on:click="saveForm" value="Save" />
<input type="text" required="required" name="field-11" >
<select required="required" name="field-13"><option value=""></option>
</select>
</form>
</template>
Had the same problem. Solution I did was to put the submit method on the opening form tag. Then no need for the input/button type="submit" inside the form at the bottom.
<form class="form" action="" method="POST" #submit.enter.prevent="createForm()">
Also other options available on inputs:
#keydown.enter.prevent
#keyup.enter.prevent
#submit.enter.prevent
I did it this way
first i removed vue modifiers from form tag.
second i chaged type of input from submit to button
and third this my saveForm function
saveForm:function(){
if (someCondition){
event.preventDefault();
}else{
document.forms[0].submit();
}
}
You need to use the prevent modifier. Another thing, your webpage itself must have the focus. Meaning, if you just visit the webpage, prevent won't work. But, if you click somewhere in the form, prevent will work for you.
You can still submit the form via JavaScript using something like document.forms[0].submit();

How to make fancybox close after hitting "submit button"

My form comes from Hubspot and is embedded into a fancybox.
I would like the box to close as soon as the person hits "submit" but instead it redirects and stays open.
Secondly, I tried entering the code to clear the content box after submission but the old data stays in the fields after reopening.
How do I make the box close after they "submit"?
How do I code so that fields clear after each submission?

In advance, thank you. You guys/gals are great.
After inspecting your Fancybox I found this html:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="hsForm_bc762bf8-087a41ec-8f55-263df96f988a" class="hs-custom-form stacked hs-form" action="https://forms.hubspot.com/uploads/form/v2/206683/bc762bf8-087a-41ec-8f55-263df96f988a" method="POST" novalidate="novalidate">
It works as expected when I add target="_top" to it.
Your form.html may have a form tag. Add target="_top" to it.
See this link Link here
Add target="_top" in form tag
<form target="_top">

Tinymce, textarea in my textarea editor

I use TinyMCE.
If I insert in my textarea (editor) another texarea, tinymce considers that the closing tag of this one is concerned and so he closes the editor. All code can be found there after outside the editor ...
Have you any idea?
Below code works :
<textarea id="elm1" name="elm1">
<input type="text" value="okokokok"/>
</textarea>
Below code don't works :
<textarea id="elm1" name="elm1">
<textarea>Blablablabla</textarea>
<input type="text" value="okokokok"/>
</textarea>
Here, "<input type="text" value="okokokok"/></textarea>" will be found outside editor...
Do you understand my problem ?
Remove all the ID attributes of "textarea" elements.
This will fix appearing a textarea inside the editor.
i had a same problem, rather then remove the id attr give them a id value, do not use "id" less textarea. it works in tinymce 4.
a <textarea id="try">textarea in </textarea> out of the textarea

Avoid modal dismiss on enter keypress

I have set up a bootstrap modal with a form inside it, I just noticed that when I press the Enter key, the modal gets dismissed.
Is there a way not to dismiss it when pressing Enter?
I tried activating the modal with keyboard:false, but that only prevents dismissal with the ESC key.
I just had this problem too.
My problem was that i had a close button in my modal
<button class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
Pressing enter in the input field caused this button to be fired. I changed it to an anchor instead and it works as expected now (enter submits the form and does not close the modal).
<a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
Without seeing your source, I can't confirm that your cause is the same though.
Just add the type="button" attribute to the button element, some browsers interpret the type as submit by default.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/button#Attributes
This applies for all the buttons you have in the modal.
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
I had this problem even after removing ALL buttons from my Bootstrap Modal, so none of the solutions here helped me.
I found that a form with a single text field would cause the browser to do a form submit (and result in dismiss), if you hit Enter while keyboard focus is on the text field. This seems to be more of a browser/form issue than anything with Bootstrap.
My solution was to set the form's onsubmit attribute to onsubmit="return false"
This may be a problem if you are actually using the submit event, but I'm using JS frameworks that generate AJAX requests rather than doing a browser submit, so I prefer disabling submit entirely. (It also means I don't have to manually tweak every form element that might trigger a submit).
More info here: Bootstrap modal dialogs with a single text input field always dismiss on Enter key
I had same problem, and i solved it with
<form onsubmit="return false;">
but there is one more solution, you can add dummy invisible input, so your form would look like this:
<form role="form" method="post" action="submitform.php">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" >
<input type="text" style="display: none;">
</form>
You can put the login button before the cancel button and this would solve the issue you are having as well.
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="submit" class="btn primary">Login</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
</div>
I had a similar experience just now and the way I solved it was instead of using a tag, I changed the tag to an tag with type="button". This seemed to solve the problem of pressing the "enter" key and dismissing the bootstrap modal.
I had this problem too and I solved it this way. I added onsubmit to form. I also wanted to be able to use enter key as a saving key so I added save_stuff() javascript to onsubmit. return false; is used to prevent the form submit.
<form onsubmit="save_stuff(); return false;">
...
</form>
<script>
function save_stuff(){
//Saving stuff
}
</script>
