I can't seem to find how to make this work - selecting an option from the drop-down list & submitting it using a submit button then having an alert / text box show after after clicking submit button. Is it possible ? TIA
What language do you use? if it web, you can add javascript to check your value dropdown.
you can add onSubmit on your form

I am having a problem with automatically deselecting a chosen mat-button-toggle if the cancel option is chosen in the dialog popup.
I made a dummy example from some angular code to demonstrate what I mean https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-azhbe2?file=src/app/dialog-content-example.html
For example:
The Permanent field is selected at first
The Freelancer field is selected and a dialog opens, if "install" is chosen then the Freelancer field should still be the selected field -- but -- if the "cancel" option is chosen or it the dialog box is closed by clicking outside of the box, then the Permanent field should be chosen automatically again, not the Freelancer field..
Any ideas on how to handle this?
Thanks :-)
I have two forms, a login form and a register form on the same page and each has its own submit button. If I fill in bad data and click on submit button on register form, I get the form back with errors ( expected). If I now enter sign in details on signin form and click on signin form's submit button, the register form gets submitted.
This is strange behaviour. I am not sure where to start search for this. I am using firefox to test this.
Thanks
Well, you will need to debug it step by step.
Check your form nesting and follow good structure, make sure both form are not overlapping with each other or not being closed properly.
Give you form a proper ID and NAME. Be careful when two forms have the same name From Name Attr.
Based on your structure and your question, make sure you have a different submit buttons for each form and that button is placed within the form nesting.
Same as for the forms, give your submit button a proper unique ID and NAME .
Choose whether you want to submit by your using submit in html, or having JS to submit the form for you JS submit form.
If you are using HTML5, you can separate the button from the FORM. They can run separately. Means dynamic association between the form and it's submit button by having submit button placed anywhere and can submit a form located in different place. Check Association of Controls and Forms & HTML5′s New “form” Attribute.
Please post some code in order for us to have a better understanding of your issue.
Good luck.
I have an application where in a signed in user searches a database and is displayed a table of results. These results are basically listings of events. I give the user then, the privilege to "keep" or "discard" any event (using radio buttons beside each event).
Now however, I wish to implement a functionality whereby, the user at the end can click just one "update" button and all changes are affected (since keeping one button for each record will be very user unfriendly). That is, I am looking equivalently to submit multiple forms with just one submit/update button.
Is this possible ?
You need to use javascript, I suggest you using JQuery. Using AJAX you need to submit each form - this way page will not be redirected once you submit a form!
Then, within each forms assign individual IDs for each form. Then, assign your submit button an id for example mySubmit. Up next, add following code:
$('#mySubmit').click(function(){
// submit form1 by ajax...
// submit form2 by ajax...
});
You may see jQuery's http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ for further information on how to submit a form using ajax.
As long as all of the radio buttons and submit button are part of the same form, you don't need to worry about submitting multiple forms because there won't be any. You can have multiple submit buttons in a single form, you can give them different values to know which button was clicked.
If you don't want to use jQuery then use javascript to form a list of data separated by say ~ character and set this string to some hidden field and submit using document.formx.submit()
You will need to parse the string on server side to get the data in correct format.
I'm trying to use celerity to submit a form. This form has a generated link that is called when the user hits the enter button. How do I trigger this?
I know you can submit by finding the link / button and pressing .click(). But I want to submit by pressing enter.
I noticed that celerity form objects has a:
(Object) submit
Submits the form.

but I cant seem to access it. Thanks in advance
I have a form with two submit buttons - one for Cancel and the other is for Saving form values to the DB . When Enter key is pressed, the Cancel button submits the form instead of the Save button submitting the form. How can I make the Save button submit the form when Enter key is pressed?
Thanks,
Your form should not have two submit buttons. Have the Save button be of type submit, and the Cancel button be of type button.
EDIT: I'm going to update this answer to handle several issues that were brought up.
Nothing I've seen in the HTML specification (i.e. the DTD) disallows two submit buttons in one form, but the exact issue the OP mentioned can occur. In his or her case, the solution is to make the Cancel button of type button and add in the following JavaScript:
<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="window.location.href='nextpage.html';"/>
Here, one would replace nextpage.html with the appropriate URL. Or, this.form.action can be the new location if the redirection is to the action of the form.
If the OP wants to be safe and avoid JavaScript, this could only be a (perhaps styled) hyperlink.
