how to do validate form with input pattern . i have looked into w3schools pattern attribute but not able to get how to implement it in my way. i want to match my form input in this way. this is the appid = "EVISA2505550816" . this pattern should match in input field. where in every id IVISA is common then next 10 digits will be.
<form method="post" action="#">
<input type="text" id="appid" name="appid" pattern="" required>
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
You only have to write a regular expression in the pattern attribute :
\d means that you want a digit and {10} means that you want that char 10 times.
Note that if the first letter is not always E, you can write [A-Z]VISA\d{10}
<form method="post" action="#">
<input type="text" id="appid" name="appid" pattern="EVISA\d{10}" required>
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

I am following the tutorial of HTML Forms,
reference to the 'Name Attribute', it says "Each input field must have a name attribute to be submitted."
However, in the official exmaple, type submit input does not follow the rule.
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" value="Mickey"><br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
If there's no name/value pair, how can the server capture the 'submit' action?
This is an example of what not to do.
Each input field must have a name attribute to be submitted.
If the name attribute is omitted, the data of that input field will
not be sent at all.
This example will only submit the "Last name" input field:
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" value="Mickey"><br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
i am working on a search function, herefore i need the value of an input to generate the final url (which shows the results)
Let's say the user enters the content he is looking for here:
Name: <input type="text" id="myText">
now i need to generate a hyperlink from
http://constant/constant?query=NAME&someotherconstantthings
here, the NAME needs to be replaced from the content of the input
Try to use PHP, you could add a action to the Form Element to post the entered informations to the PHP file, then generate ur hyperlink.
<form action="phpfilename.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" id="myText" name="myText">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
<?php
$name = $_POST['myText'];
$hyperlink = 'http://constant/constant?query='.$name;
?>
You need something like this:
<form action="URL" method="get">
Enter your name here: <input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
You need to replace the keyword URL with the path to the page which performs the search. You can remove the keyword URL if want to submit the form to the same page.
I have the following form
<form name="input" action="http://testdomain.com/search/?" method="get" autocomplete="off">
<input type="text" name="?wpv_paged_preload_reach=1&wpv_view_count=1&wpv_post_id=205499&wpv_post_search=">
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="">
</form>
However the actual URL displays the following search query:
/search/?%3Fwpv_paged_preload_reach%3D1%26wpv_view_count%3D1%26wpv_post_id%3D205499%26wpv_post_search%3D=test
It seems that special symbols such as ? and = are getting replaced with special Encoding characters.
My question is, how do I get the form to not switch my special symbols with the encoding characters?
Thanks
The name of an input element controls the name of one field. The browser doesn’t blindly mash it and its value together and send that to the server. For a GET request, you can include each one as a hidden field:
<form name="input" action="http://testdomain.com/search/" method="get" autocomplete="off">
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_paged_preload_reach" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_view_count" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="wpv_post_id" value="205499" />
<input type="text" name="wpv_post_search" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" />
</form>
Consider a form in Html:
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
<div class="form-group" style="margin-top:7px;">
<label class=".... </label>
<input type="text" name="prefersite1" placeholder="http://www.website.com">
<input type="text" name="prefersite2" cla....;">
<input type="text" name="prefersite3" cl....">
<input type="text" name="prefersite4" c....">
<input type="text" name="prefersite5" cla....">
</div>
On using a 'submit' type button, is there a way to get appended prefersite_list[] or comma separated string in the url
The button I used is just:
<button type="submit">
Submit
</button>
I am working on django platform and use this url to extract variables by request.GET.get method in python. Is there a way to change name=prefersite[0], [1] etc so that I will get a single long string.
Instead of /?prefersite1=&prefersite2=&prefersite3=.. , I need a single /?prefersite=.
Using prefersite[] as name seems to be working for post forms, but I need to use get forms.
I have a standard HTML form.
<form method="post" name="myemailform" action="form-to-email.php">
Enter Name: <input type="text" name="name">
Enter Email Address: <input type="text" name="email">
Enter Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send Form">
</form>
The problem is that when a value is input that is larger than the field size, upon clicking away, the field skips back to the beginning of the field so the end is cut off.
Is there a way to get it so that the view of the field stays where the carat was?
This is a javascript problem (client side), not a PHP one (server side).
You need to do this:
<input type="text" name="name" size="10" onblur="if (this.length > 10) {this.dir = 'rtl';} else {this.dir = 'ltr';}">
just check what is the proper length to use in order to change the input direction
You can use the HTML attribute size.
