i want that "name is too short" to be visible when last_name.errors.minlength is true. but i get an error:
Property 'minlength' comes from an index signature, so it must be accessed with ['minlength'].
<div>
<label for="lastname">Last Name</label>
<input required #last_name="ngModel" minlength="4" maxlength="10" type="text" name="lastName" ngModel>
<div [ngClass]="{visible: last_name.touched && last_name.invalid}" class="message">
<div *ngIf="last_name.errors.minlength">name is too short</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
I usually do validations in a "reactive" way, to a form with the own Validators that ReactiveFormModule gives you, so I'm not used to validate just a simple field as "#local reference"...
But, try to change your *ngIf code like this:
*ngIf="last_name?.errors?.['minlength']"
In your project's configuration, you have the noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature rule enabled. It ensures, that if a certain field wasn't explicitly defined in an interface, then you cannot access it via dot syntax.
So, here what you need to do is to use indexed syntax instead:
*ngIf="last_name.errors['minlength']"
Or as another option, that looks cleaner, you can also use the hasError method. The code will look like that:
*ngIf="last_name.hasError('minlength')"
Correct syntax:
“last_name.errors['minlength']"
Is it possible to nest html forms like this
<form name="mainForm">
<form name="subForm">
</form>
</form>
so that both forms work? My friend is having problems with this, a part of the subForm works, while another part of it does not.
In a word, no. You can have several forms in a page but they should not be nested.
From the html5 working draft:
4.10.3 The form element
Content model:
Flow content, but with no form element descendants.
The HTML5 <input> form attribute can be the solution.
From http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_form.asp:
The form attribute is new in HTML5.
Specifies which <form> element an <input> element belongs to. The value of this attribute must be the id attribute of a <form> element in the same document.
Scenario:
input_Form1_n1
input_Form2_n1
input_Form1_n2
input_Form2_n2
Implementation:
<form id="Form1" action="Action1.php" method="post"></form>
<form id="Form2" action="Action2.php" method="post"></form>
<input type="text" name="input_Form1_n1" form="Form1" />
<input type="text" name="input_Form2_n1" form="Form2" />
<input type="text" name="input_Form1_n2" form="Form1" />
<input type="text" name="input_Form2_n2" form="Form2" />
<input type="submit" name="button1" value="buttonVal1" form="Form1" />
<input type="submit" name="button2" value="buttonVal2" form="Form2" />
Here you'll find browser's compatibility.
It is possible to achieve the same result as nested forms, but without nesting them.
HTML5 introduced the form attribute. You can add the form attribute to form controls outside of a form to link them to a specific form element (by id).
https://www.impressivewebs.com/html5-form-attribute/
This way you can structure your html like this:
<form id="main-form" action="/main-action" method="post"></form>
<form id="sub-form" action="/sub-action" method="post"></form>
<div class="main-component">
<input type="text" name="main-property1" form="main-form" />
<input type="text" name="main-property2" form="main-form" />
<div class="sub-component">
<input type="text" name="sub-property1" form="sub-form" />
<input type="text" name="sub-property2" form="sub-form" />
<input type="submit" name="sub-save" value="Save" form="sub-form" />
</div>
<input type="submit" name="main-save" value="Save" form="main-form" />
</div>
The form attribute is supported by all modern browsers. IE does not support this though but IE is not a browser anymore, rather a compatibility tool, as confirmed by Microsoft itself: https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-security-chief-ie-is-not-a-browser-so-stop-using-it-as-your-default/. It's about time we stop caring about making things work in IE.
https://caniuse.com/#feat=form-attribute
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fae-form
From the html spec:
This feature allows authors to work around the lack of support for
nested form elements.
The second form will be ignored, see the snippet from WebKit for example:
bool HTMLParser::formCreateErrorCheck(Token* t, RefPtr<Node>& result)
{
// Only create a new form if we're not already inside one.
// This is consistent with other browsers' behavior.
if (!m_currentFormElement) {
m_currentFormElement = new HTMLFormElement(formTag, m_document);
result = m_currentFormElement;
pCloserCreateErrorCheck(t, result);
}
return false;
}
Plain html cannot allow you to do this. But with javascript you can be able to do that.
If you are using javascript/jquery you could classify your form elements with a class and then use serialize() to serialize only those form elements for the subset of the items you want to submit.
<form id="formid">
<input type="text" class="class1" />
<input type="text" class="class2">
</form>
Then in your javascript you could do this to serialize class1 elements
$(".class1").serialize();
For class2 you could do
$(".class2").serialize();
For the whole form
$("#formid").serialize();
or simply
$("#formid").submit();
If you're using AngularJS, any <form> tags inside your ng-app are replaced at runtime with ngForm directives that are designed to be nested.
In Angular forms can be nested. This means that the outer form is valid when all of the child forms are valid as well. However, browsers do not allow nesting of <form> elements, so Angular provides the ngForm directive which behaves identically to <form> but can be nested. This allows you to have nested forms, which is very useful when using Angular validation directives in forms that are dynamically generated using the ngRepeat directive. (source)
Another way to get around this problem, if you are using some server side scripting language that allows you to manipulate the posted data, is to declare your html form like this :
<form>
<input name="a_name"/>
<input name="a_second_name"/>
<input name="subform[another_name]"/>
<input name="subform[another_second_name]"/>
</form>
If you print the posted data (I will use PHP here), you will get an array like this :
//print_r($_POST) will output :
array(
'a_name' => 'a_name_value',
'a_second_name' => 'a_second_name_value',
'subform' => array(
'another_name' => 'a_name_value',
'another_second_name' => 'another_second_name_value',
),
);
Then you can just do something like :
$my_sub_form_data = $_POST['subform'];
unset($_POST['subform']);
Your $_POST now has only your "main form" data, and your subform data is stored in another variable you can manipulate at will.
Hope this helps!
As Craig said, no.
But, regarding your comment as to why:
It might be easier to use 1 <form> with the inputs and the "Update" button, and use copy hidden inputs with the "Submit Order" button in a another <form>.
Note you are not allowed to nest FORM elements!
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/forms.html
https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/changes.html#h-A.3.9 (html4 specification notes no changes regarding nesting forms from 3.2 to 4)
https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/changes.html#h-A.1.1.12 (html4 specification notes no changes regarding nesting forms from 4.0 to 4.1)
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/ (html5 specification notes no changes regarding nesting forms from 4 to 5)
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#association-of-controls-and-forms comments to "This feature allows authors to work around the lack of support for nested form elements.", but does not cite where this is specified, I think they are assuming that we should assume that it's specified in the html3 specification :)
You can also use formaction="" inside the button tag.
<button type="submit" formaction="/rmDog" method='post' id="rmDog">-</button>
This would be nested in the original form as a separate button.
A simple workaround is to use a iframe to hold the "nested" form.
Visually the form is nested but on the code side its in a separate html file altogether.
Even if you could get it to work in one browser, there's no guarantee that it would work the same in all browsers. So while you might be able to get it to work some of the time, you certainly wouldn't be able to get it to work all of the time.
While I don't present a solution to nested forms (it doesn't work reliably), I do present a workaround that works for me:
Usage scenario: A superform allowing to change N items at once. It has a "Submit All" button at the bottom. Each item wants to have its own nested form with a "Submit Item # N" button. But can't...
In this case, one can actually use a single form, and then have the name of the buttons be submit_1..submit_N and submitAll and handle it servers-side, by only looking at params ending in _1 if the name of the button was submit_1.
<form>
<div id="item1">
<input type="text" name="foo_1" value="23">
<input type="submit" name="submit_1" value="Submit Item #1">
</div>
<div id="item2">
<input type="text" name="foo_2" value="33">
<input type="submit" name="submit_2" value="Submit Item #2">
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submitAll" value="Submit All Items">
</form>
Ok, so not much of an invention, but it does the job.
Use empty form tag before your nested form
Tested and Worked on Firefox, Chrome
Not Tested on I.E.
<form name="mainForm" action="mainAction">
<form></form>
<form name="subForm" action="subAction">
</form>
</form>
EDIT by #adusza: As the commenters pointed out, the above code does not result in nested forms. However, if you add div elements like below, you will have subForm inside mainForm, and the first blank form will be removed.
<form name="mainForm" action="mainAction">
<div>
<form></form>
<form name="subForm" action="subAction">
</form>
</div>
</form>
Although the question is pretty old and I agree with the #everyone that nesting of form is not allowed in HTML
But this something all might want to see this
where you can hack(I'm calling it a hack since I'm sure this ain't legitimate) html to allow browser to have nested form
<form id="form_one" action="http://apple.com">
<div>
<div>
<form id="form_two" action="/">
<!-- DUMMY FORM TO ALLOW BROWSER TO ACCEPT NESTED FORM -->
</form>
</div>
<br/>
<div>
<form id="form_three" action="http://www.linuxtopia.org/">
<input type='submit' value='LINUX TOPIA'/>
</form>
</div>
<br/>
<div>
<form id="form_four" action="http://bing.com">
<input type='submit' value='BING'/>
</form>
</div>
<br/>
<input type='submit' value='Apple'/>
</div>
</form>

About nesting forms: I spent 10 years one afternoon trying to debug an ajax script.
my previous answer/example didn't account for the html markup, sorry.
<form id='form_1' et al>
<input stuff>
<submit onClick='ajaxFunction(That_Puts_form_2_In_The_ajaxContainer)'>
<td id='ajaxContainer'></td>
</form>
form_2 constantly failed saying invalid form_2.
When I moved the ajaxContainer that produced form_2 <i>outside</i> of form_1, I was back in business. It the answer the question as to why one might nest forms. I mean, really, what's the ID for if not to define which form is to be used? There must be a better, slicker work around.
No you cannot have a nested form. Instead you can open up a Modal that contains form and perform Ajax form submit.
Really not possible...
I couldn't nest form tags...
However I used this code:
<form>
OTHER FORM STUFF
<div novalidate role="form" method="post" id="fake_form_id_0" data-url="YOUR_POST_URL">
THIS FORM STUFF
</div>
</form>
with {% csrf_token %} and stuff
and applied some JS
var url = $(form_id).attr("data-url");
$.ajax({
url: url,
"type": "POST",
"data": {
'csrfmiddlewaretoken': '{{ csrf_token }}',
'custom-param-attachment': 'value'
},
success: function (e, data) {
if (e.is_valid) {
DO STUFF
}
}
});
Today, I also got stuck in same issue, and resolve the issue I have added a user control and
on this control I use this code
<div class="divformTagEx">
</div>
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="litFormTag" Visible="false">
'<div> <form style="margin-bottom: 3;" action="http://login.php" method="post" name="testformtag"></form> </div>'</asp:Literal>
and on PreRenderComplete event of the page call this method
private void InitializeJavaScript()
{
var script = new StringBuilder();
script.Append("$(document).ready(function () {");
script.Append("$('.divformTagEx').append( ");
script.Append(litFormTag.Text);
script.Append(" )");
script.Append(" });");
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), "nestedFormTagEx", script.ToString(), true);
}
I believe this will help.
Before I knew I wasn't supposed to do this I had nested forms for the purpose of having multiple submit buttons. Ran that way for 18 months, thousands of signup transactions, no one called us about any difficulties.
Nested forms gave me an ID to parse for the correct action to take. Didn't break 'til I tried to attach a field to one of the buttons and Validate complained. Wasn't a big deal to untangle it--I used an explicit stringify on the outer form so it didn't matter the submit and form didn't match. Yeah, yeah, should've taken the buttons from a submit to an onclick.
Point is there are circumstances where it's not entirely broken. But "not entirely broken" is perhaps too low a standard to shoot for :-)
[see thecode.. code format below ]2simple trick
simply dont use other inside another form tag, please use the same elements without using form tag.
see example below
"" dont use another form // just recall the enter image description hereelement in it""
How can I both validate the pattern of an input field while use required attribute in an html form. I want to make 2 different warning message for each attribute.
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail</label>
<div class="col-md-4 inputGroupContainer">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-envelope"></i></span>
<input name="email" placeholder="Địa chỉ E-Mail" class="form-control" type="text" required
pattern=" /^[a-z0-9._%+-]+#[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$/"
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Vui lòng nhập địa chỉ email')"
oninput="setCustomValidity('')"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And anyone have a working regex to check valid email? I found that regex on the Internet but it does not work correctly
Keep it simple :o) Unless you really need to go use the Constraint Validation API, as you are currently doing, I would go with regular Form Validation which has pretty good browser support.
Basically when you apply the required attribute on input elements they will be matched against a few conditions. One is the field cannot be left blank. A second is an optional pattern. In your case, you can specify type="email" and the browser will match the input for a valid email address. As far as I can read your request, the following should cover your needs:
<form action="">
<input type="email" required>
<input type="submit">
</form>
The risk of defining a custom pattern using regex is that you might end up testing for a faulty pattern. In your case, testing for example#example.cancerresearch would fail even if it's a valid email address.
In the sample code:
HTML (Index):
<form>
<br><br>
Name:
<br>
<input type="text" name="name">
<br><br>
Comments:
<br>
<input type="text" id="comments">
<br><br>
<input type="button" id="button" value="Submit Info" onclick="google.script.run
.testFunction(this.form)">
</form>
Code:
function doGet() {//Creates the webpage
return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('Index')//From the GUI file.
.evaluate()
.setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME);
}
function testFunction(form){
Logger.log(form.name);//Works when using the 'name' of the element.
Logger.log(form.comments);//Does not work when using the 'ID'.
}
Why does a value get returned when adding the 'Name' of the HTML value, but not the 'ID'? If I want to get the value by ID, how would I do this instead? I've tried:
form.getElementById("comments");
But this just throws me an error, and to be honest I'm out of ideas after that.
Note: It's completely acceptable to me to use the 'name' field, as I have been doing, I'm just curious as I'm brushing up on my HTML.
I believe what Google is doing behind the scenes is extracting the form out as a HTML form and sending it back to the server. HTML forms use the name attribute to store all their name value pairs when sent back to the server. So if this was a get request for this form:
<form>
<input type="text" name="field1" value="value1"/>
<input type="text" name="field2" value="value2"/>
</form>
it would look something like ?field1=value1&field2=value2.
So on the server side in your Code.gs you are basically getting this back as an object (not a DOM object, which is why your form.getElementById("comments"); won't work).
Either way, the standard with <input> tags is to use the name attribute, so you should be sticking with that. The id attribute should really only be used if you need to look up a value in your client side javascript.
Is it possible to get AngularJS working with Classic ASP? I couldn't find any resources on this, but I suspect the answer would be yes, since AngularJS (excluding its AJAX stuff) is mostly Client Side.
If that is the case, I have a form that looks like this:
How can I use AngularJS to validate this form? The validation I want is:
All Fields Required
Email must be valid format
I know I can use jQuery, but I want to do this with AngularJS. I have already gone ahead and added the AngularJS script to the bottom of the form, also added the ng-app to the <html tag.
I'd like to know the proper, decoupled way of doing this, also if possible, client side end to end test for this simple form, just so that I get the idea.
UPDATE: Thanks to DoubleSharp's link, I have progressed a little, though validation still does not work.
Here is the code I have:
<div class="panel-body" ng-controller="UserCtrl">
<form novalidate class="css-form">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" class="form-control" ng-model="user.fname" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="Last Name" class="form-control" ng-model="user.lname" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="Email" class="form-control" ng-model="user.email" required />
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" placeholder="Password" class="form-control" ng-model="user.password" required />
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
And here is my JavaScript/Angular Code:
function UserCtrl($scope) {
$scope.master= {};
$scope.update = function(user) {
$scope.master = angular.copy(user);
};
$scope.reset = function() {
$scope.user = angular.copy($scope.master);
};
$scope.reset();
}
As you can see I simply copying the tutorial, I have also gone ahead and added the CSS styles, but my validation is still not working, even though the page is freshly loaded, I get ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-invalid-required CSS on my text fields, whereas in the tutorial they have ng-valid
I am guessing this has something to do with ngModel which I have no where, but the tutorial does not mention that at all in its code, I'm confused.
If you just want to validate that the required fields are entered and that the email is in a valid format, it can all be done client side without any calls back to the server, so it doesn't matter if it is ASP classic, PHP, etc... it is all in the browser. The AngularJS site has examples of this, so rather than repeating them here...
See this page for implementing custom form validation: http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/forms
See this page for the email input type: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:input.email
