I have 1 main search form with a submit button and several secondary search forms with submit buttons.
What I would like to do is when I enter text and click on the submit button of the main search form, the same text gets copied in all of the secondary search forms and all the submit buttons of the secondary search forms get automatically hit.
The HTML code for the mains earch form is shown below:
<form action="query.php" method="get">
Search: <input type="text" name="item" size="30">
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>
One of the several secondary search forms is shown below:
<FORM action="http://www.dpbolvw.net/interactive" method="GET" target="_blank">
<div style="float: left; padding: 0 3px 0 0;">
<INPUT type="text" name="src" size="9"
value="<?php
$input = $_GET['item'];
echo $input;?>" style="width: 110px; height: 22px;margin:0; padding: 0; font-size:140%;">
</div>
<div style="float: left; padding: 0 3px 0 0;">
<input type="image" name="submit" value="GO" src="http://images.guitarcenter.com/Content/GC/banner/go.gif"
alt="Search" style="font-size:140%">
/div>
<input type="hidden" name="aid" value="1234"/>
<input type="hidden" name="pid" value="1234"/>
<input type="hidden" name="url" value="http://www.guitarcenter.com/Search/Default.aspx"/>
</form>
Notice the php code that I put in the "value" field of the secondary search form:
<?php
$input = $_GET['item'];
echo $input;?>
This automatically copies the text that I entered in the main search form into the secondary search form. I thus figured out how to do that.
The problem is to "simulate" an "Enter" keystroke or a click on the "GO" button with the mouse on the secondary search form when the user hits the Enter key or hits the "SEND" button with the mouse on the main search form.
Thank you for your insight!
I'm not sure what the point of that would be, It looks like all of these are search forms all pointing to different sites. Web browsers won't allow that. They can navigate to one page at a time. When you post a form to a page you are navigating to that page. Therefore, you are trying to navigate to several pages at once. It's like trying to be in Paris and London at the same time. I don't see how your plan will work the way you're describing it.
That said, You can use client-side javascript to call
document.forms[0].submit();
so if you can come up with a plan that does not involve trying to have the user see all the different search results in one window, you could try this on your first form...
<form action="query.php" method="get" onSubmit="document.forms(1).Submit();">
You should use AJAX (JQuery) as Brandon Suggested. Read http://docs.jquery.com/Events/submit
Example:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submit").click(function() {
//Do you stuff here like triggering other submits
//Like:
$("input#submit2").click();
$("input#submit3").click();
return false;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="javascript:alert('success!');">
<div>
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" />
</div>
</form>
<form >
<div>
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" id="submit2" />
</div>
</form>
<form >
<div>
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" id="submit3" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Take a look at the submit() event in jQuery. That is going to be your key.
I am assuming that you are planning on submitting via ajax? Otherwise it is futile.
So you could do something like this-
Give all of your forms a certain class, let's call it 'ajax_search_forms'. So now you can actually hook into the submit event.
$('.ajax_search_forms').submit(function(){
var search_string = $('input[name=src]').val();
$('.ajax_search_forms').each(function(){
$.ajax({
url : $(this).attr('action'),
data : 'search_string=' + search_string,
success : function(html){
// Do something with the result
}
});
});
// Return false is VERY important so that the form submission does not continue
return false;
});

I am trying to create a custom register view/form and have it work with auth.register(), but so far I've had no luck. I mainly have two problems.
If I don't include response.view = 'register.html' in my controller the link register.html defaults to web2py's default register page (which works, but I don't want to use).
If I removed the response.view = 'register.html' from my controller func, then my custom form/view appears, but doesn't submit/validate. It just keeps popping the on-fail message "Oops something went wrong submitting the form"
Every thread I've read about this just says to specify the form=auth.register() in the controller and use the {{=form.custom.end}} in the view, but that doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something?
I also tried specifying the callback action for the form to action="{{=URL('default', 'register')}}, but if I add this the page won't do anything on submit either.
Here's my code:
Controller: (In default.py)
def register():
response.view = 'register.html'
db.auth_user.first_name.readable = db.auth_user.first_name.writable = False
db.auth_user.last_name.readable = db.auth_user.last_name.writable = False
return dict(form=auth.register())
View (default/register.html)
<body class="body-4">
<div class="form-block w-form">
<form id="email-form" name="email-form" data-name="Email Form">
<h1 class="heading-5">Register</h1>
<input type="email" class="text-field w-input" maxlength4="256" name="Email" data-name="Email" placeholder="Enter your email" id="Email" required="">
<input type="password" class="text-field w-input" maxlength="256" name="Password" data-name="Password" placeholder="Enter your password" id="Password" required="">
<input type="password" class="text-field w-input" maxlength="256" name="Password-2" data-name="Password 2" placeholder="Confirm your password" id="Password-2" required="">
<input type="submit" value="Register" data-wait="Please wait..." class="submit-button w-button">
{{=form.custom.end}}
<div class="w-form-done">
<div>Thank you! Your submission has been received!</div>
</div>
<div class="w-form-fail">
<div>Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="{{=URL('static','js/webflow.js')}}" type="text/javascript"></script>

You need to put the viewer code into the file default/register.html instead of register.html .
Then it works for me. You can see the resulting entry in the database.
I want to reset a form which will blank all input field and checkbox.
But here's my code doesn't work.
<form id="rwdPromotionDetailsAdd">
<input type="button" onclick="resetForm()" value="Reset form">
</form>
<script>
function resetForm() {
document.getElementById("rwdPromotionDetailsAdd").reset();
}
<script>
How can i reset a form ? Any better suggestion ?
You just need to insert this within a form
<input type="reset" value="Reset form">
Don't even have to attach a listener to it
<form id="rwdPromotionDetailsAdd">
<input type="button" onclick="resetForm($('#rwdPromotionDetailsAdd'))" value="Reset form">
</form>
<script>
function resetForm($form) {
$form.find('input:text, input:password, input:file, select, textarea').val('');
$form.find('input:radio, input:checkbox').removeAttr('checked').removeAttr('selected');
}
<script>
I need form with one text box and submit button, and that's should be used for taking number from the user and open my site url + the number.
For example:
User will type in the text field : 44
Then he press the button.
The page should take the number and open a link like this :
http://localhost/44
<form action='http://example.com'>
<input type="text" name="number">
<input type="submit">
</form>
You have to use jquery + form like below may help you
<form method="get">
<input type="text" name="num" id="num" />
<input type="button" class="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('.submit').live('click',function(){
var url = "http://www.example.com";
var input = $('#num').val();
alert(input);
window.location.href=url+'/'+input;
});
</script>
Alright I could use a small tip here:
I have a form with two buttons, one has to submit the form and the other one has to reset the complete form.
The text - field keeps its value after every submit, but I would like to clear it completely with the reset button
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="text" value="Clear Me Please">
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
<button type="reset" name="reset">Reset</button>
</form>
I have a input field, submit button and a reset button. Upon submiting the form the user input will be inserted as value, because I dont want to lose the input. Now, when I type something into the field I can reset the form as planed, but after submiting the value now stays as supposed, but pressing the reset button resets the input to the value.
Example: I type in "TEXT", press Reset, gets reseted to "". Type "TEXT2", press Submit, gets submited, put in as value, field has now "TEXT2" written in. Replace "TEXT2" with "TEXT3", press Reset, now field contains "TEXT2" instead of "". I hope this is explaination enough.
may a little bit more you have to do
But his may help-Using Jquery

I am attempting to post form data to my app using Facebook. My form is integrated with a dialog and I am using form.submit() to submit the form. Please see my code. The post data does not appear on the backend (e.g. load-cargo-radio, city-id, train-id), but the fb_sig* data does. Does anyone know if there are any caveats regarding posting form data with Facebook? Thanks!
Note: I have tried both using my server domain and my fb callback url for the form action. Neither works.
<div id="action_prompt">
Loading cargo...
</div>
<fb:js_string var="fbjs_load_cargo_select">
<div id="load_cargo_select">
<form id="load_cargo_select_form" action="http://railsacrosseurope.com/turn/load_cargo_select" method="POST">
<p>Your train has stopped in the city of Arhus.</p>
<p>Arhus produces the following goods:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dairy</li>
</ul>
<p>Your train is hauling the following goods:</p>
<ul>
<li>Timber</li>
</ul>
<p>What would you like to do?</p>
<input type="radio" id="load_cargo_radio" value="1">Load new goods</input>
<input type="radio" id="load_cargo_radio" value="2">Discard existing goods</input>
<input type="hidden" id="city_id" value="3" />
<input type="hidden" id="train_id" value="15" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
</fb:js_string>
.
.
.
<script type="text/javascript">
var dialog = new Dialog().showChoice('Load Cargo', fbjs_load_cargo_select, 'Okay', 'Pass');
dialog.onconfirm = function() {
// Submit the form if it exists, then hide the dialog.
frm = document.getElementById('load_cargo_select_form');
if (frm) { frm.submit(); }
dialog.hide();
};
dialog.oncancel = function() {
form = document.getElementById('redirect_form');
form.setAction('http://apps.facebook.com/rails_across_europe/turn/move_trains_auto/');
form.submit();
}
</script>
[/code]
The problem was not with Facebook. The problem was that I left out the "name" attribute for my input elements.
