So I am making a VERY simple Chrome extension which allows someone to click it, then type in a French word, it will then take the word and redirect you to a french dictionary.
Here is the relevant code:
<div id="pattern" class="pattern">
<form action="http://www.wordreference.com/fren/" method="get" class="f" target="_blank">
<input type="search" name="query" placeholder="Search Videos.." />
<input type="submit" class="btn search-submit" value="Search">
</form>
However this does not work, when I enter in a word, instead of taking me to
www.wordreference.com/fren/Bonjour
It takes me to
http://www.wordreference.com/fren/?query=Bonjour
Thanks in advance guys!
Should be noted changing the text query to 'a' will take me to
http://www.wordreference.com/fren/?a=Bonjour
Use POST method in form.
<form id="my_form" class="f">....</form>
target="_blank" is for a tag (not in form):
Test url
If you want to change the output URL.
Try to use redirect method (script) like:
window.location.href = custom_url+'?'+form.serialize();
Sample script for Form submit:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).readY(function(){
$("form#my_form").on("submit", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var parameters = $(this).serialize();
window.location.href = "?a=" + parameters;
});
});
</script>
Modify the url as you wish.

I have this code that needs to be adapted to work with something similar to the code below the commented line. If I can make it without many changes would be perfect so that I don't need to change the CSS and so. Any help? Many thanks in advance.
<!-- The code to be adapted is this: -->
<form action="" id="search-form">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" class="text" /><input type="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<!-- The new code that I got from the web and that needs to be adapted to the old one
is the following: -->
<textarea id="Blah"></textarea><button onclick="search()">Search</button>
<script>
function search() {
var Blah = document.getElementById("Blah").value;
location.replace("https://www.google.com/search?q=" + Blah + "");
}
</script>
I'm imagining you probably want something like
document.querySelector("#searchButton").addEventListener("click", ()=>{
const value = document.querySelector("#searchBox").value;
const url = `https://www.google.com/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(value)}`;
window.location.replace(url);
});
<fieldset>
<input type="text" class="search" id="searchBox">
<Button id="searchButton">Search</button>
</fieldset>
The id attribute on HTML elements allows you to access them via JavaScript. There's a wealth of tutorials online if you want to learn JavaScript deeply, but the basics of what this is doing is:
It finds the HTML element with the id of searchButton, and adds a click listener to it --- this gets triggered whenever that element is clicked.
In that listener, we find the value of the text input with the id of searchBox.
We compose our new URL. One thing I've added here is a call to encodeURIComponent to correctly handle the cases where they try searching for something which contains a character which isn't valid in a URL --- for example, the space character etc.
It was not working as I wanted, but a little trick made it work.
Here is my final code:
<form action="" id="search-form">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" class="search" id="searchBox">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<script>
let myvar;
document.querySelector(".submit").addEventListener("click", ()=>{
const value = document.querySelector("#searchBox").value;
myvar = `https://www.google.com/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(value)}`;
setTimeout(callurl, 1);
return false;
});
function callurl() {
location.assign(myvar);
return false;
}
</script>
This is my form code:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload-file" method="post" action="http://example.com/upload">
<div class="formi">
<input id="text-link-input" type="text" name="url" class="link_form" value="your link" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue) this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value=this.defaultValue;" />
<input type="submit" value="OK" class="link_but" />
</div>
<div class="upl" title="Upload"><img src="http://example.com/example.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>Upload
<input type="file" name="file" size="1" class="up" onchange = "document.getElementById('text-link-input').value = String(this.value).replace('C:\\fakepath\\','')"/>
</div>
</form>
Now, I want to redirect the submitter to any page of my choice after the form data has been submitted, but the action resides on another website where I cannot edit. Is it possible to redirect the user to any page after he has submitted the data to that site?
From some Googling, this is what I have found. Adding this to form code:
onSubmit=window.location='http://google.com'
This didnt work. Maybe I didnt implement it correctly? This is what I did:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="upload-file" method="post" onSubmit=window.location='http://google.com' action="http://example.com/upload">
Another person says adding a hidden field should work:
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://your.host/to/file.html">
How should I implement this is my code?
Suggestions and help awaited...
Try this Javascript (jquery) code. Its an ajax request to an external URL. Use the callback function to fire any code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('form').submit(function(){
$.post('http://example.com/upload', function() {
window.location = 'http://google.com';
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
I got an URL in a html tag, so in a GET format :
http://toto.fr/grc/start.swe?SWECmd=ExecuteLogin&SWEAC=SWECmd=InvokeMethod&SWEMethod=GotoView&SWEService=GRC+Debranchement+Generique&BusObject=Contact&BusComp=Contact&ViewName=GRC+Contact+Synthetic+View&SWEUserName=titi&SWEPassword=toto&ValeurChamp=35925436&Champ=Person UId
I want to call it in POST. Is there a way to do this easily ?
You need to create an HTML form with all the URL parameters as hidden variables.
e.g.
<form action="http://toto.fr/grc/start.swe" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="SWECmd" value="ExecuteLogin" />
<!--- repeat for all other parameters --->
</form>
Replace the <form method="GET"> to <form method="POST">
if this doesn't work, could you post your code?
I've just been thinking about this again and if you really do need to have a link submit a POST request then it may be possible by giving the form an id attribute, create your link with an id attribute and then you can add a click event handler which will submit the form in Javascript.
See the mock-up code below (syntax may not be perfect!)...
HTML.
<form id="loginForm" action="http://toto.fr/grc/start.swe" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="SWECmd" value="ExecuteLogin" />
<!--- repeat for all other parameters --->
</form>
<a id="LoginLink" href="#">Login</a>
Javascript.
<script type="text/javascript">
var loginForm = document.getElementById('loginForm');
var loginLink = document.getElementById('loginLink');
loginLink.addEventListener('click', login);
var login = function() {
loginForm.submit();
}
</script>
I am trying to add a Google search box to my own website. I would like it to search Google itself, not my site. There was some code I had that use to work, but no longer does:
<form method="get" action="https://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" name="g" size="31" value="">
</form>
When I try making a search, it just directs to the Google homepage. Well, actually it directs here: https://www.google.com/webhp
Does anyone have a different solution? What am I doing wrong?
Sorry for replying on an older question, but I would like to clarify the last question.
You use a "get" method for your form.
When the name of your input-field is "g", it will make a URL like this:
https://www.google.com/search?g=[value from input-field]
But when you search with google, you notice the following URL:
https://www.google.nl/search?q=google+search+bar
Google uses the "q" Querystring variable as it's search-query.
Therefor, renaming your field from "g" to "q" solved the problem.
This is one of the way to add google site search to websites:
<form action="https://www.google.com/search" class="searchform" method="get" name="searchform" target="_blank">
<input name="sitesearch" type="hidden" value="example.com">
<input autocomplete="on" class="form-control search" name="q" placeholder="Search in example.com" required="required" type="text">
<button class="button" type="submit">Search</button>
</form>
Figured it out, folks! for the NAME of the text box, you have to use "q". I had "g" just for my own personal preferences. But apparently it has to be "q".
Anyone know why?
(The reason your code isn't working is because the GET request name is now "q" instead of "g".
I recommend using one of the two methods below:
Method 1: Simply send a GET request directly to Google (Best and most simple option)
<form method="GET" action="https://www.google.com/search">
<input name="q" type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Another (more complicated) answer would be
Method 2: Use JS to redirect to Google
<textarea id="searchterm"></textarea><button
onclick="search()">Search</button>
<script>
function search() {
var Blah = document.getElementById("searchterm").value;
location.replace("https://www.google.com/search?q=" + searchterm + "");
}
</script>
Hope this helps!
From 13 March 2021. I make this very easy code for my website https://neculaifantanaru.com/en/how-can-i-integrate-google-search-box-to-my-website-by-implementing-custom-code.html
First Step. This is the search box. Copy this code where you want in your html/php pages. People will search here the information. This form will send the search results to another html page called search.html
<form action="https://YOUR-WEBSITE.com/search.html" method="get" id="site-search">
<fieldset>
<!-- <label for="search">Search in website</label> -->
<input type="text" name="q" id="q" value="" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-inverse">search</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
Second Step. Create a new html page named search.html. And add this code in the <head> section, more likely before </head>:
<script>
(function() {
var cx = 'YOUR-NUMBER-CODE';
var gcse = document.createElement('script'); gcse.type = 'text/javascript'; gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
</script>
YOUR-NUMBER-CODE you can get from this link https://cse.google.com/cse/all (Here you must add your new search engine.. Also, put OFF on the option "Search the entire web" in order to find results only on your website, not the entire web)
Step Three. Copy this code in the <body> section on the same page: search.html
<div class="main-content">
<h1>Search the site</h1><p>If you want to search for our articles on a specific topic, write the search term in the form below.</p>
<gcse:searchbox-only></gcse:searchbox-only>
<gcse:searchresults-only></gcse:searchresults-only>
</div>
THAT'S ALL.
I am trying to create a very simple form with a little bit of extra code to get the results as described below: the problem is I don't know how to go about doing it.
What I am trying to achieve:
I have a form which has one text input box with the name 'url'. I want the user to be able to input a number into the box. When the user submits the form they should be redirected to a new website. The new website's URL will be based on the number inputted into the form.
The first part of the URL will always be: http://name.com/
Then the number that the user inputted will be attached to the end. So if 123456 is entered into the form then on submission of the form the user would be taken to http://name.com/123456
How can I get this working? I am guessing it will require JavaScript or something.
<script>
function process()
{
var url = "http://name.com/" + document.getElementById("url").value;
location.href = url;
return false;
}
</script>
<form onSubmit="return process();">
URL: <input type="text" name="url" id="url">
<input type="submit" value="go">
</form>
You can add onsubmit="this.action='http://google.com/'+this.fieldName.value;" to your tag.
This should do it:
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToPage() {
var page = document.getElementById('page').value;
window.location = "http://name.com/" + page;
}
</script>
<input type="text" id="page" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" onclick="goToPage();" />
