I have one page with two separate forms. Most input fields are required. When I click the submit button on the second form, it asks me to fill out the required fields in the first form.
How do I make sure that it only validates the form in which I clicked the submit button?
<form method="post" action="index.php" name="orderQuick" id="orderQuick">
<input type="text" name="street" id="street" required>
<button type="submit" name="submitBtn" id="submitBtn">Submit</button>
</form>
<form method="post" action="index.php" name="order" id="order">
<input type="text" name="street2" id="street2" required>
<button type="submit" name="submitBtn2" id="submitBtn2">Submit</button>
</form>
I think it is because you have not closed <button> tag so it is considering both input type in one form. Close <button> tag.I think it will solve your issue.
I think you will need to use the jqueryvalidation plugin: (http://jqueryvalidation.org/valid/)
Using this plugin, on the click of the respective submit buttons, you just need to call the method:
$("#orderQuick").valid();
and
$("#order").valid();
This should solve your issue.

I recently started HTML and made my first Website. I made bunch of lines of codes, and the last line is: <input type="submit" name="register" value="Register" action="Registered.html">. I wanted to this submit button named as "Register" to get me to the my "Registered.html" file but something isn't right. The button shows up, and it's valued as "Register" but `action="Registered.html" doesn't work. I hope you understand me, if you can, fix this for me.
The form element takes the action attribute, not the input:
<form action="Registered.html">
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Register">
</form>
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
notice the action is at the form..
refer https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_form_submit
In general form elements are used to send data to a server. It wraps around the elements which specifies the data, input or button elements, for instance. If you add a name and a value attribute to your input and button elements, you will send this name-value-pair to your server.
If you don’t need to send any (additional) data to your server, just use anchor elements:
Register
<form>
<input type="submit" formaction="Registered.html" value="Register">
</form>
The formaction attribute of the input tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
I want a html button with parameter functionality.
new/?sorting=desc is the url that it should link to. But when I try, the parameter is not passed. How should it be done? I tried both the methods below but none worked.
<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="./?sorting=desc">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Äldst först">
</FORM>
I want buttons that behave like these links:
Äldst först
Nyast först
If you want something to act as a link, then you should use a link.
That said:
When you submit a GET form, the query string is removed from the action and a new one is generated from the data in the form.
You need to store the data in hidden inputs.
<form action="/social/tracking/new/">
<input type="hidden"
name="sorting"
value="desc">
<input type="submit"
value="Nyast först">
</form>
<form action="/social/tracking/new/">
<input type="hidden"
name="sorting"
value="asc">
<input type="submit"
value="Sort the other way">
</form>
If you are using jQuery, you can use the code below.
This will fill a hidden input with the correct value when you click on one of the submit buttons.
<form method="get" action="./">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" id="sorting" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Äldst först" id="sort_desc" />
<input type="submit" value="Nyast först" id="sort_asc" />
</form>
<script>
$('#sort_desc').click(function(){
$('#sorting').val('desc');
});
$('#sort_asc').click(function(){
$('#sorting').val('asc');
});
</script>
I think its not possible. A form is used to send data (mostly) via POST or GET. Your goal is to open a specific URL. I would create a standard and would style it like a button. Whats the reason you want to use a button?
I'm working with html and jsp, and I'm trying to do a custom search that performs the same action as that of a catalog search that is on another page. I have two pages:
There is a page (outside my app, so I can't modify at all) that is a catalog search:
<form name="formulario" id="formulario" method="post" action="Main">
<input tabindex="116" size="55" id="txtSimpleSearch" name="txtSimpleSearch">
<input value="Search" type="submit" name="btnSearch" tabindex="102">
</form>
I have to create a page in my app that works as a custom search in that catalog seach. So I created this form:
<form method="post" rel="external" action="http://example.com/pages/SimpleSearch" target="_blank">
<fieldset>
<label for="txt"><span class="label">Text:</span>
<input name="txtSimpleSearch" id="txt" type="text"></label>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input class="boton" value="Search" type="submit">
</div>
</form>
The action of the second form (my page) goes to the catalog search, with the value of txt input, but it isn't do the search on the first page (the catalog search page not execute the submit of the form formulario).
Maybe I could get the form of the catalog search page and do the submit using Javascript? Or isn't possible?
Thanks.
You'll have to use the same name attributes for your input, so the page will be able to get the search value.
<form method="post" rel="external" action="http://example.com/pages/SimpleSearch" target="_blank">
<fieldset>
<label for="txt"><span class="label">Text:</span>
<input name="txtSimpleSearch" id="txt" type="text"></label>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input class="boton" value="Search" type="submit" name="btnSearch">
</div>
</form>
change input type='submit' to type='button' , add attribute to the input onclick='actionSubmitForm1()' then use javascript submit
document.forms["myform"].submit();
then submit you'rs second form
document.forms["myform2"].submit();
here is my code
<body>
<input type=text name=name>
<form action=new3.jsp method=post name="f1">
<input type=text name=name>
<input type=submit value=next>
</form>
<form action=new1.jsp method=post>
<input type=submit value=back>
</form>
</body>
as you can see there are two forms here with two different submit buttons named "next" and "back". The text box is in the form where "next" button is. My question is here how to send the value of this text box to "new1.jsp" clicking "back button" without using javascript. Thanks in advance...
Don't post form to JSPs. Post the to servlets instead, and let the server analyze the parameters and forward to the appropriate JSP depending on which button has been clicked:
<form action="/controllerServlet" method="post" name="f1">
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="submit" name="destination" value="next"/>
<input type="submit" name="destination" value="back"/>
</form>
Using the above form (which BTW, is valid HTML), the servlet can use the value of the "destination" parameter. If it's "next", it should forward to new3.jsp. If it's back, it should forward to "new1.jsp". And if, for example, you want to redisplay the same page because the user didn't enter a valid value in the text field, it can do so.
That's the well-known MVC pattern. You should use it.
I have a simple form:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="search">
</form>
When submitting the url becomes `/search?q=Loremipsum&search=search
I really don't want that last bit, this seems pretty common problem and think it could be solved without js, but I realized that even google.com has this problem when you click on the search button. (maybe they don't care much about ugly urls?)
search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Loremipsum&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&..
Is there a way to prevent the value of the submit button to be excluded without javascript?
I see in Stack overflow the search is ?q= but they don't have a submit button.
You can omit name attribute in the final input like this:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>
Should do the trick. Keeping value attribute allows you to manipulate what text is displayed on the button.
For the record, you can also omit the submit button if you like, and the form will submit when you press return after typing your search term. (This is how the Stack Overflow search box works).
