I got a weird error I hope you guys can help with.
Sometimes when the user tries to submit a form the file upload field image just clears and nothing happens. I doesn't seems like the form get submitted at all.
Then the day after everything works fine. The error occurs on random days/times.
First I thought it was a problem with the users computer but this happens on two different computers the customer has. One of the computers has Windows 7 professional & Internet Explorer 9. I don't have the setup on the other one.
I have tried with Google Chrome, Firefox 6.0.2, Internet Explorer 9, 8 (browser compatibility mode), 7 (browser compatibility mode) on windows 7 home with no problems at all on my computer.
Here is the form:
<form action="/user/image" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" class="form_default" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<fieldset>
<ol>
<li>
<button type="submit" name="save" value="submit" class="button">Save</button>
</li>
<li>
<label for="image">Profile image</label><input type="file" id="image" name="image" />
</li>
<li>
<button type="submit" name="save" value="submit" class="button">Save</button>
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</form>
There should be only 1 submit button per form.
So keep 1 save button as type="submit" ,change another to type="button"
Try using input instead of button, good luck!
ex
<input type="submit" name="mysubmit" value="Click!" />
you should use:
<input type="button" onclick="customFunction" />
write what you want to do in customFunction(javascript)
There is no clever workarounds for this, IE9 does not allow a file to be tampered with via JavaScript probably for security reasons.
First of all, pls let us see your php coding to send this form....
Usually form submission errors such as this have server-side coding errors..
Maybe you should check out your PHP coding and see what happens in your
$_POST['save']
area....
Hope this helps... :)

I'm new to the Ionic framework, and I'm using Ionic 3.
Even though I use a form in my app, I'm still getting this warning in the browser:
[DOM] Password field is not contained in a form:
Why is that, and how can I fix it?
What is it?*
Chromium project (mostly Google Chrome) wants to change the world and make all passwords, as well as all form data autosaved and autofilled by default. The people behind this decision claim that will make the web safer†. While Firefox also promotes autosaved and autofilled form data, Chrome goes further admonishing web developers to comply with form element scoping that's more convenient for the browser.
At the same time, Google Chrome uses heuristics to determine what a "form" is on the web page and doesn't actually need individual form elements to be wrapped in a <form> element.
Additionally, Google Chrome treats all web pages, all forms and all form fields as if they are filled by the end user, where password is user's own password. A use-case where e.g. company administrator fills in new joiner's initial password is not supported.
The shortened URL in the form takes you to Create Amazing Password Forms page the the Chromium projects. Today the text there is very patronising, thus I'll omit the link.
†I neither claim to agree with Chrome/Chromium, nor claim that Google is in the position to profit from autofill via lock-in or access to user data; that's out of scope.
How can I fix it?
Simple: ignore it.
It's only a notice in developer tools in one of the major browsers.
Solution 1:
I think you are using Chrome browser. If you will try on Mozilla, it will not give the error. Please refer to this link for more details:
https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/165
Here is the example:
<div className="myform" onSubmit={this.validateLogin()}>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email"></input>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" placeholder="Enter the Password" id="mypassword" value=""/>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<button type="submit" id="loginButton">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
Is returning the password field is not contained in a form.
Solution 1:
After changing the master div tag to a form as I have in the following:
<form className="myform" onSubmit={this.validateLogin()}>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" id="email"></input>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" placeholder="Enter the Password" id="mypassword" value=""/>
</div>
<div className="myformgroup">
<button type="submit" id="loginButton">Login</button>
</div>
</form>
it will not return the warning.
Solution 2:
Install aws-amplify in your project directory as explained in https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js.
We are using magento 1.8.1 and hosting it both locally in an iis/mysql environment and also testing in an ubuntu lamp environment, so we can verify it is not an iis issue. It happens on both environments.
I got up to the point of integrating the product listing page, where we want to show product reviews and the product review fonts, so users can give their reviews without clicking on a link to go to a different page to add it. I managed to load the product reviews blocks. At first the form element of the add to product button was mixing up with the product review form, which i solved by closing the previous form before starting the review form. I can see in Fiddler the request going through and the action on the form element looks like this
http://localhost/index.php/review/product/post/id/2/
While this will actually make the browser send the request (as seen on fiddler, with the right amount of parameters), the review is never stored in the database, so i cannot see it in the pending reviews part of the admin section. After examining both my store's html source and the online demo, i could see there was a hidden form field on the official demo storing the form_key , which i added since, but it still will not work.
Any hints where to look at?
the whole reviews form block looks like this:
<form action="http://localhost/index.php/review/product/post/id/2/" method="post" id="review-form">
<fieldset class="">
<h3>You're reviewing: <span>Powermonkey extreme 2</span></h3>
<ul class="form-list">
<li>
<label for="nickname_field" class="required"><em>*</em>Nickname</label>
<div class="input-box">
<input type="text" name="nickname" id="nickname_field" class="input-text required-entry" value="">
</div>
</li>
<li>
<label for="summary_field" class="required"><em>*</em>Summary of Your Review</label>
<div class="input-box">
<input type="text" name="title" id="summary_field" class="input-text required-entry" value="">
</div>
</li>
<li>
<label for="review_field" class="required"><em>*</em>Review</label>
<div class="input-box">
<textarea name="detail" id="review_field" cols="5" rows="3" class="required-entry"></textarea>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
<div class="buttons-set">
<button type="submit" title="Submit Review" class="button"><span><span>Submit Review</span></span></button>
</div>
</form>
We have the same problem, and I solved it.
Magento has a form key when submitting any information to the database. To generate the form key, add this code:
<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey') ?>
I'm working on my second website and throughout creating this one and my first the people here on StackOverflow have been an amazing help.
I can just browse and find almost anything I wan't to know.
99% of problems I've had, I fixed with answers I've read on here.
So first of thank you all so much!
This is the first time I'm posting something because I'm not able to find the specific answer for my code.
There are people one here with the same problems but when I look at their code I'm just lost.
I know html a fair bit by now. It's the php that I'm clueless about.
I'm not looking for something fancy, I'm just trying to create a simple contact form.
So here is my question and code, I hope some of you are able to help me.
I used an PHP code from a youtube tutorial and it's deadeasy (as said before: first time PHP) yet I can't get it to work. Although I'm doing everything the same as the man in the clip. He shows his is working so I'm extremely curious as to way mine is not?
My form does not 'send' and after clicking the submit button I don't get the 'thank you' line.
here is the html:
<form method="post" action="contactform" name="contactform" id="contactform">
<ol>
<li>
<label for="voornaam">Voornaam</label>
<input type="text" name="voornaam" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="achternaam">Achternaam</label>
<input type="text" name="achternaam" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="telefoon">Telefoon Nummer</label>
<input type="text" name="telefoon" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">E-mail Adres</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="bericht">Type hier je bericht</label>
<textarea name="bericht"></textarea>
</li>
<li>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
<input name="reset" type="reset" value="reset" />
</li>
</ol>
</form>
and the PHP:
<?php
$voornaam = $_POST ['voornaam'];
$achternaam = $_POST ['achternaam'];
$telefoon = $_POST ['telefoon'];
$email = $_POST ['email'];
$bericht = $_POST ['bericht'];
$to = "felicevancuyk#gmail.com";
$subject = "dkl groep bericht";
mail ($to, $subject, $bericht, "From " . $voornaam . $achternaam . $telefoon};
echo "Bedankt. We nemen zo snel mogelijk contact met u op.";
?>
It could be that your action is not set correctly:
<form method="post" action="contactform" name="contactform" id="contactform">
This action tag is the URL that the form is sent to. In the above example you gave, it doesn't appear to be a file name. You want it to be something like this:
<form method="post" action="http://mysite.com/process-form.php" name="contactform" id="contactform">
Also note that in your example PHP code you are emailing responses to the form without cleaning those responses. Someone could send malicious code to your server if you don't clean the data first.
Something like:
$cleaned_voornaam = preg_replace("/[^ 0-9a-zA-Z]/", "_", $_POST['voornaam']);
Good luck!
You have to just change your action attribute of first line of code to the page where you want to process your form. It may be the same page but it is recommend to be on another page. Here is an example to submit the form in the same page:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="contactform" id="contactform">
Don't forget if you are submitting on the same page as like the above example then your page should be in .php extension otherwise it will not work.
Another case for submit not submitting is that html is malformed.
Just happened that my code was inserting a php error in the middle of my html form.
fixed the error, the submit is working again.
In my case, no js involved at all
Welcome to episode 32,342,343 of "Why does Internet Explorer Suck So Much?"...
I've seen lots of reports that IE9 does a crappy job uploading files. Apparently it has lots of caveats about when it will or won't work (If someone has a definitive list I'd love to see it). However, most of the problems/solutions I see have found are related to javascript, usually the jQuery form plugin or something similar.
My form is not submitted via AJAX and the the file input field is not hidden or obscured with css. Yet, I get several support tickets per day from users on IE9 trying to submit the form and "nothing happens" (=the form submits. No errors, but the file is not uploaded.) I haven't gotten a single complaint with a different browser, and IE8 even seems to work (as well as it ever does).
Here's the top of my form. Am I missing something?
<form action="http://mysite.dev/account-settings/?open=resume" method="post" class="wpjb-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="resume_form" value="resume_form" />
<fieldset class="wpjb-fieldset-default">
<input id="firstname" name="firstname" type="hidden" class="regular-text " value="John" />
<input id="lastname" name="lastname" type="hidden" class="regular-text " value="Henry" />
<input id="email" name="email" type="hidden" class="regular-text " value="john.henry#johnhenry.com" />
<div class="wpjb-element-input-checkbox wpjb-element-name-is_active">
<label class="wpjb-label">Show resume? </label>
<div class="wpjb-field">
<label for="is_active_1"><input type="checkbox" class="" name="is_active" id="is_active_1" value="1" checked="checked" /> Yes <small style="display:inline;">(Uncheck to hide your resume)</small></label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wpjb-element-input-select-one wpjb-element-name-file">
<label class="wpjb-label">Upload a <i>new</i> resume file</label>
<div class="wpjb-field">
<input style="line-height:1em;" id="file" name="file" type="file" class="regular-text " />
<small class="wpjb-hint">Accepted file types: doc, docx, odf, pdf, rtf</small>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
...
It goes on like this with a couple more <fieldset>s then ends like this:
....
<p class="submit">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="wpjb_submit" value="Save Changes" />
</p>
</form>
Update
I'm happy for everyone who has never experienced this problem but it's not just me:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_vista/cannot-upload-files-using-internet-explorer-9/5724d921-ae71-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5
Update2
I'm seeing a lot of suggestions to add a meta tag to force the user agent to IE8...
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
I don't want to do this because although I do support IE8, many of the elements on my site render differently in IE8 vs. IE9. This would create a rather sloppy user experience as any IE users would experience I temporary "time warp" back to IE8 on that specific page.
I was able to fix this nightmare of a problem by wrapping a jQuery form submit in a setTimeout:
$('#complete_profile input[type="submit"]').click(function(){
setTimeout(function() {
$('#complete_profile form').submit();
}, 0);
});
This may cause duplicate submission when the form DOES submit, however, so be careful.
As Graham does, I think that this might more be a server issue - also I have never had issues with fileuploads in IE9 (or newer) - I guess you don't want to post the code of the PHP Script that handles the upload?
if any data is not being sent, You could check the post data by your hidden input on your server side script. For example if you're using php it would be something like
<? if($_POST['resume_form']=='resume_form'){
//Do something
} ?>
Or you could also use meta compatible tags for IE to render the page like IE8
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
I suggest setting the X-UA-Compatible meta tag value and seeing whether that makes any difference.
See this question for possible values: What does <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> do?
It may also be that the page is triggering a non-standards mode in IE9. I suggest opening the page in IE9, opening the developer tools, and seeing which browser/document modes are selected. That may give you a clue. Note that the "enctype" form attribute was not supported prior to IE8, so if the browser is using an older doc mode, that attribute is not being recognized.
OK I'd rather leave a comment not an answer but I don't have the points for that yet!
Are the users in quirks mode? Most IE users are unaware of the quirks mode and may have accidentally clicked it when trying to refresh the page (instead of pressing F5). If it is intermittent this could be the reason why.
following on from above.. On the server side how are you checking for empty fields? I'm more on the lines of JS here where you often look for "", null and undefined I'm just thinking that perhaps the quirks mode is sending some fuzzy data that your server side error checking is missing because you aren't looking for it and hence reports all is OK.
I have a login form written in PHP and each time I start the browser and go to the respective page, the first field of the form is this:
<input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="session_id_code" />
If I close the window, but I don't restart the browser, this doesn't happen. Any idea what's happening and why?
Thanks!
Form's code:
<?php
if (condition) {
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<dl>
<dt>Email:</dt>
<dd><input type="text" name="useremail" /></dd>
<dt>Password:</dt>
<dd>
<input type="password" name="userpass" /></dd>
<dt class="dt-buttons"><input type="submit" name="button_login" value="Login" class="button" /></dt>
</dl>
<input type="hidden" name="formkey" id="formkey" value="224ca00155w2fcda8906e1e40af03a71" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
The form is simple HTML and is not dynamically generated.
EDIT2:
As I was saying, when I access the page for the first time after I started the browser, this thing happens. If I refresh the page afterwards, the hidden field doesn't show up.
Is it possible to have something to do with the SSL certificate? And if yes, why some pages/forms behave like this and some don't?
Sounds like you've got trans_sid enabled (transparent session id). Using trans_sid can be a security issue, especially if your site links to external content, or you allow link sharing - it lets a user's session ID leak out as part of the URL, meaning the session is highly vulnerable to hijacking.
