When clicking on the checkbox it hides currently displaying DIV & shows hidden DIV. After this hidden div displayed it has a form to submit on button click.
My problem is when i click on this submit button, the form is hiding again. I have tried stopPropagation(), preventDefault() and many ways & problem still exist. When I use preventDefault() then it shows the div without hiding but the submit is disabled.
I saw many questions related this.but nothing works to me. I want to submit form without hiding the div which the form resides. I'm a beginner with jquery.
$(function() {
$("#active").click(function() {
if ($(this).is(":checked")) {
$("#donorTeam").show();
$("#donor").hide();
} else {
$("#donorTeam").hide();
$("#donor").show();
}
});
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" id="active"> select type
<div id="donor" style="display:block;"></div>
<div id="donorTeam" style="display:none;">
<form>
<button type="submit" id="sub">Add</button>
</form>
</div>
Thanks in advance.
You could try either of these 2 approaches
1.
$(function () {
$('#donorTeam form').on('submit',function (e) {
// Ajax call here
e.preventDefault();
});
});
2 . add onsubmit="return false" to the form attribute
<form onsubmit="return false">
<button type="submit" id="sub">Add</button>
</form>

I have a form in Angular that has two buttons tags in it. One button submits the form on ng-click. The other button is purely for navigation using ng-click. However, when this second button is clicked, AngularJS is causing a page refresh which triggers a 404. I’ve dropped a breakpoint in the function and it is triggering my function. If I do any of the following, it stops:
If I remove the ng-click, the button doesn’t cause a page refresh.
If I comment out the code in the function, it doesn’t cause a page refresh.
If I change the button tag to an anchor tag (<a>) with href="", then it doesn’t cause a refresh.
The latter seems like the simplest workaround, but why is AngularJS even running any code after my function that causes the page to reload? Seems like a bug.
Here is the form:
<form class="form-horizontal" name="myProfile" ng-switch-when="profile">
<fieldset>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="passwordButton">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<button id="passwordButton" class="secondaryButton" ng-click="showChangePassword()">Change</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="buttonBar">
<button id="saveProfileButton" class="primaryButton" ng-click="saveUser()">Save</button>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
Here is the controller method:
$scope.showChangePassword = function() {
$scope.selectedLink = "changePassword";
};
If you have a look at the W3C specification, it would seem like the obvious thing to try is to mark your button elements with type='button' when you don't want them to submit.
The thing to note in particular is where it says
A button element with no type attribute specified represents the same thing as a button element with its type attribute set to "submit"
You can try to prevent default handler:
html:
<button ng-click="saveUser($event)">
js:
$scope.saveUser = function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
// your code
}
You should declare the attribute ng-submit={expression} in your <form> tag.
From the ngSubmit docs
http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngSubmit
Enables binding angular expressions to onsubmit events.
Additionally it prevents the default action (which for form means sending the request to the server and reloading the current page).
I use directive to prevent default behaviour:
module.directive('preventDefault', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
angular.element(element).bind('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
});
}
});
And then, in html:
<button class="secondaryButton" prevent-default>Secondary action</button>
This directive can also be used with <a> and all other tags
You can keep <button type="submit">, but must remove the attribute action="" of <form>.
I wonder why nobody proposed the possibly simplest solution:
don't use a <form>
A <whatever ng-form> does IMHO a better job and without an HTML form, there's nothing to be submitted by the browser itself. Which is exactly the right behavior when using angular.
Add action to your form.
<form action="#">
This answer may not be directly related to the question. It's just for the case when you submit the form using scripts.
According to ng-submit code
var handleFormSubmission = function(event) {
scope.$apply(function() {
controller.$commitViewValue();
controller.$setSubmitted();
});
event.preventDefault();
};
formElement[0].addEventListener('submit', handleFormSubmission);
It adds submit event listener on the form.
But submit event handler wouldn't be called when submit is initiated by calling form.submit(). In this case, ng-submit will not prevent the default action, you have to call preventDefault yourself in ng-submit handler;
To provide a reasonably definitive answer, the HTML Form Submission Algorithm item 5 states that a form only dispatches a submit event if it was not submitted by calling the submit method (which means it only dispatches a submit event if submitted by a button or other implicit method, e.g. pressing enter while focus is on an input type text element).
See Form submitted using submit() from a link cannot be caught by onsubmit handler
I also had the same problem, but gladelly I fixed this by changing the type like from type="submit" to type="button" and it worked.
First Button submits the form and second does not
<body>
<form ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl" ng-submit="Sub()">
<div>
S:<input type="text" ng-model="v"><br>
<br>
<button>Submit</button>
//Dont Submit
<button type='button' ng-click="Dont()">Dont Submit</button>
</div>
</form>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.Sub=function()
{
alert('Inside Submit');
}
$scope.Dont=function()
{
$scope.v=0;
}
});
</script>
</body>
Just add the FormsModule in the imports array of app.module.ts file,
and add import { FormsModule } from '#angular/forms'; at the top of this file...this will work.
How can I display a message on the redirected page after submit a form?
I have a form on my page that after submitting the form it redirects to the index.html. After redirecting I have a div with a message that is set to display:none. What I'm trying to do is to set to display:block the div for a couple seconds then set the display back to none. Here is what I have so far:
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="index.html">
<button onclick="emailSubmit()" class="sub-button" type="submit" value="Send Message" style="margin-bottom: -35px;">Send Message</button>
<script>
function emailSubmit() {
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("confirmation").style.display = "block"; }, 500);
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById("confirmation").style.display = "none"; }, 3000);
}
</script>
Cold You please share Your code? How does your html file Look like?
Where Do You keep Your message?
As far You only hidden and show dom element. It is Look like the div is empty.
I have following markup in my view
<div ng-show="showTheForm" class='col-md-8'>
<form ng-submit='login()'action="http://localhost/test/signin.php" target='signin' method="post">
<input type="submit" class='alt-btn' id="signin-button" value="Sign in">
</form>
</div>
<div ng-show="!showTheForm" class='col-md-8'>
<iframe height='600px' width='470px' id="signin" name="signin" frameBorder="0"></iframe>
</div>
When I submit the form I run this function within my controller
$scope.login = function() {
//Show the iframe
$scope.showTheForm = false;
}
What I want to happen is the form hides and the div with the iframe becomes visible.
The form hides when I submit but the iframe does not become visible and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
I read about $apply and how it is used to inform angular if a variable is updated. I tried this but it made no effect.
Would anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?
the definition of function in your controller is wrong.
Change function definition from $scope.login() = function() ==> $scope.login = function()
I have some pre-written code by a developer, Which I have to modify, In that code, A directive is created using textboxe is used inside label, And I added another custom directive in that directive. So the final rendered HTML looks like.
<label class="myClass">
<div><input type="text" ng-model="someModel"></div>
<my-custom-tag>
<div class="customDropdown">
dropdownBox
</div>
</my-custom-tag>
</label>
As this div.customDropdown is inside label, whenever I click on dropdown, that click is going to textbox also.
So My question is, Is there any way to disable label feature of focusing input elements?
You can prevent the default action of the label's click event using jQuery.
$('label.myClass').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
This does it in vanilla JavaScript:
document.body.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
if(e.target.className === 'customDropdown') {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
document.body.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
if(e.target.className === 'customDropdown') {
e.preventDefault();
}
});
<label class="myClass">
<div><input type="text" ng-model="someModel"></div>
<my-custom-tag>
<div class="customDropdown">
dropdownBox
</div>
</my-custom-tag>
</label>
I recommend you to use div or span at the place of the label and if you want you can write it before or inside that ..
I know its not simple but you can do it ..
I have created a form with a submit button, the submit button is outside the actual form but its targeting the form using the form attribute for example.
<form id="myform">
</form>
<button form="myform"></button>
I apologize for the week example. This is working accross all browsers except IE 11. IE 8-10 is working 100%. Any ideas on how I can fix this. I prefer not writing scripts. I can do this with jQuery but I prefer to just keep it clean if possible
This is a solution with just a click event and a line of css. ( Minimal )
If your button has to be outside the form due to User Interface design.
I would suggest you add an input submit/button inside the form:
<form id="myform">
<input type="button" value="Submit" class="myButton" />
</form>
<button id="outerBtn">Submit</button>
Hide the input:
.myButton {display:none;} OR {visibility:none;}
Use jQuery to trigger click the input button inside the form:
$('#outerBtn').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('.myButton').trigger('click');
});
Just some quick answer. Should be alright.
If you do not want to write script, I would suggest you just keep your input button/submit inside the form.
<form id="form-any-name">
<input type="button" value="Submit" class="myButton" />
</form>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button[type=\'submit\']').on('click', function() {
$("form[id*='form-']").submit();
});
});
</script>
Simply include document on ready submit catcher you can place that code in main js file since we catching dinamicaly form id starting with form- so in other pages you can have the different foms:)
I would like to post my answer as this post helped me a lot and I came with an idea that works if you want to add the "button outside the form" functionality on older browsers.
I use JQuery but I dont think I would be a major problem to use pure JS as it's not complicated code.
Just create a class just as some of the answers suggested here
.hiddenSubmitButton {
display: none;
}
$("body").on("click", "button[form]", function () {
/*This will get the clicks when make on buttons with form attribute
* it's useful as we commonly use this property when we place buttons that submit forms outside the form itself
*/
let form, formProperty, formAttribute, code, newButtonID;
formProperty = $(this).prop("form");
if (!(formProperty === null || formProperty === "")) {//Most browsers that don't wsupport form property will return null others ""
return; //Browsers that support the form property won't continue
}
formAttribute = $(this).attr("form");
form = $("#" + formAttribute);
newButtonID = formAttribute + "_hiddenButton";
if (document.getElementById(newButtonID) !== null) {
$("#" + newButtonID).click();
return;
}
code = '<input id="' + newButtonID + '" class="hiddenSubmitButton" type="submit" value="Submit" />';
$(form).append(code);
setTimeout(function () {
$("#" + newButtonID).click();
}, 50);
});
One thing I like about creating buttons outside the form is that they allow us to custom the design more easily and we can use this code and it will work on old browsers and also, the browser will use its HTML form validator.
IE understands 'for', you can use "label for=''".
<label for="form_one_submit">Button one</label>
<form action="" id="form_one">
<span></span>
<input type="submit" id="form_one_submit" style="visibility:hidden;">
</form>
