Hello guys I wanted to know that is there a way to tell a input box to append something at the start
<input type="text" label="false" placeholder="Article Source URL" name="url" id="7TkwumNLSSXC9hJ7d" data-schema-key="url" required="" pattern="https?://.+">
in it we are telling it the pattern but is there a way that a input box always append https:// at the start without using jquery ??
No.
You can use the value attribute to give it a default value of http://, but HTML provides nothing that would change its value automatically if that was removed.
You can do that with JavaScript (adding it on blur or when the form is submitted, for example) and libraries like jQuery can make that simpler.

I have an input in my form with a step defined to 3:
<form>
<input name="surface" id="surface" type="number" step="3" />
</form>
I would like to be able to enter a number not multiple of the step, but it's refused at validation by the browser.
In example, if I insert "2.5" in the input, the message error I've got is:
Please select a valid value. The 2 closest values are 0 and 3.
Is it possible to make this step not mandatory?
I've tried to add novalidate="novalidate" as attribute but it doesn't work.
After more research, it appears it's not possible to make the step non mandatory on an HTML5 input.
I'll have to implement a custom number input (in jQuery or else) to achieve this.
Hello I have a form that allows the user to check as many options as they like and then hit submit. Is there any way to have the input type 'checkbox' submit more than one value?
For example right now I have:
<input type="checkbox" value="testuser">
But I want something like:
<input type="checkbox" value="testuser" valuetwo="1">
Is there any way to achieve this second option?
Thanks!
Since there is no way to submit to values, is there a way to submit them both in value one?
For example:
<input type="checkbox" value="testuser,1">
And if so how would I separate the value into two?
From your comments, it sounds like you have some JavaScript that handles the data before it's submitted. If that's the case, you can add a data attribute to the checkbox. To use your example, you could call it data-valuetwo.
<input type="checkbox" value="testuser" data-valuetwo="1">
Then, your JavaScript can use getAttribute to retrieve the value in your data-valuetwo attribute and handle it appropriately. It could look something like this:
var valuetwo = checkbox.getAttribute("data-valuetwo");
I found a way to do this without JavaScript or Libraries using a hidden form-field instead:
<input name="selectedValue" type="hidden" value="defaultValue">
<input name="selectedValue" type="checkbox" value="secondValue">
Now, if the checkbox is not selected, the hidden value is sent, if it is selected, the hidden value is overridden.
You might try alternative using select2, see: https://select2.github.io/examples.html (Tagging support, use two options limit). Again, there is no enough information supplied to fully satisfy Your question.
Another approach with select box and JSON is Can an Option in a Select tag carry multiple values? (can be rewritten for checkbox)
I have a form:
<form method="GET">
<input type="text" value="hello" name="myname" />
</form>
If this form is submitted, I will end up at:
example.com/?myname=hello
What I would prefer is that when this gets submitted, I end up at:
example.com/hello
Is this possible?
No, you cannot change the way form submission works in HTML. (Using JavaScript, you can do transactions in a different way, without using HTML form submission.) When using method="GET", the URL gets constructed in a specific way; when using method="POST", the URL does not contain submitted data at all (it is sent outside the URL).
There is a trick that changes form submission in one way, but not quite the way you want. If the name of a control is isindex, then the control name and the equals sign are omitted; but the question mark is still there. That is, <input type="text" value="hello" name="isindex" /> would result in http://www.example.com/?hello. And Chrome has broken this when they removed the remainders of support to the isindex element.
If, for some special reason, you really need to make a form create requests like http://example.com/hello, then the simplest way is to set up a very simple server-side script that accepts normal requests that result from HTML forms and just passes them forward after modifying the URL in a simple way.
Is there a way to use HTML5's built in form validation in input elements that are NOT required? I.e. is there a way to validate an HTML5 input if and only if the field has an actual value?
For example, I'd like to use the following markup to check whether some_name is a URL if and only if the user actually enters a value in the input. If the user leaves the input blank, the form should still be able to submit as usual.
<input type="url" name="some_name" [some attribute or additional markup?]/>
Thanks very much for your help.
Use the pattern attribute that accepts javascript regular expressions.
<input type="url" name="some_name" pattern="your regular expression"/>
I am using the the "GET" method in a form on my website. For some reason it is passing the value of the submit button to the url. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong?
Form:
<form method="GET" action="searcht1.php">
<input type="text" name="search"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
Url:
searcht1.php?search=colin+pacelli&submit=Submit
It's supposed to happen. If you don't want that, do not define name attribute on the button. You probably want value instead, to show the user what the button is for.
Also, this question has nothing to do with PHP; it is purely about HTML semantics.
The reason is that the name attribute makes the submit button a “successful control” (in HTML 4.01 terminology) when it is used for form submission. This causes the name=value pair from it to be included in the form data.
Note that in your case, this data is name=foo where foo is the browser-dependent default value of the button. It could be submit, or it could be Lähetä kysely, or something exotic. You can, and normally should, use the value attribute to set this value, since it determines the text displayed in the button. It’s usually not desirable to have a submit button on your English-language appear with e.g. some text in Japanese just because a Japanese-language browser is being used.
So as others have written, the solution (if this is a problem) is to remove the name attribute. But since the value attribute should normally be used, you can make two changes simultaneously by just replacing the attribute name name by the name value, though you might also capitalize the word shown:
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
Try to remove name attribute from submit input
remove the name attribute of the button.....
