In my index.html, I have the following code:
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://mysrc.com/something.js&collectorId=f8n0soi9"
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">window.ATL_JQ_PAGE_PROPS = {
'f8n0soi9': {
"triggerFunction": function (showCollectorDialog) {
document.getElementById("button1").addEventListener("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
showCollectorDialog();
});
}
}
};</script>
</head>
and then in my myComponent.tsx file, I have a button somewhere on the page that looks like this:
function myComponent() {
return (
...
<button id="button1">
Button Text
</button>
...
);
}
export default myComponent;
It's probably also important to note that I'm using react-routing to navigate between various components, and the button above is just in one of those components
So the issue seems to be that if you load in to a site on any other webpage and later navigate to the page with the button on it, the button won't work unless you refresh that specific page, since presumably it wasn't on the first page loaded and perhaps no element with id "button1" was found to bind the event listener to. React-routing doesn't refresh the page by default when navigating through the site.
Putting the code I have in the index.html file into the myComponent.tsx file also does not work, since (I think) the index.html file allows for any raw html but the tsx file isn't truly html? Is there perhaps a way to define this as a function in the index.html file and then assign an onClick event to the button? Thank you all in advance!
Yes, it should be possible to bind the function that shows the dialog for later use and then use the recommended React event on the button.
In this example bound globally to the window object for simplicity:
"triggerFunction": function (showCollectorDialog) {
window.showCollectorDialog = showCollectorDialog;
}
// ...
<button id="button1" onClick={e => {e.preventDefault(); window.showCollectorDialog();}}>
If you run into Type errors with that, try (on the button):
=> {...; (window as any).showCollectorDialog();}
Or declare only the property (possible be more specific than any here if the signature is known):
declare global {
interface Window { showCollectorDialog: any; }
}
It should be fine to have this just somewhere in your TS source, your index.html without TS should just assign it.
I'm building a website (e-commerce like) with Django.
At some point I display a list of items and for each item there is a form with submit button Order and Quantity picker.
I've implemented filter function that delete the html code of my items list and rebuild it with the matching items with jquery.
The new forms generated by this function do nothing when the submit button is clicked
Here is a part of the code I use in my function (I use an ajax call to generate a json of matching items and then I display them in the table list) :
$.each(code_json, function(index, value){
var string = "<tr id="+ value.material +"><td>"+ value.manufNo +"</td><form method='POST' action='/add_to_cart/"+value.material+"/"+ value.node+"/{{language}}'><td><input type='submit' class='btn' value='Commander' style='color:blue;'></td><td><input id='qty' type='number' name='qty' class='form-control' value='1'></td></form></tr>";
$("#header").after(string);
});
I know that usually with Django you have to add {% csrf_token %} for each form. However it throw an error page usually when missing and here it doesn't show anything
Edit : I tried to bind an onclick event on the submit button dynamically created. In this I did a $.post in jquery to simulate the submit of the form but nothing happend
$(document).on('click', '.btnStandard', function(event) {
console.log($(this).attr('id'));
$.post('/add_to_cart/'+$(this).attr('id'),
{
qty: $("#qty"+$(this).attr('id')).val()
},function(data,status,xhr){
alert("Data : "+data+", status: "+status+", xhr: "+xhr);
});
It print in console $(this).attr('id') but it doesn't do anything else
Thank you for your help
It doesn't explain why I have this problem but I found a workaround to solve my problem.
Instead of dynamically generate forms, I generate them with template and then I hide them all. Later, I make those I need visible when I need thanks to css.
I have an html form ( ) , I want that it is displayed when I click on a button.
the declaration of the form is the following :
<div id = "formulaire" class="gl" >
and the button is :
Edit
I use angularjs in my code . Please help me.
It better to use a simple variable than a function in this case. I would also recommend using controller scope when setting variables instead of the application scope so you don't run into issues with the variables when your application becomes large.
I also picked data-ng-click over ng-click because it will allow the html to validate correctly (which can be checked using the W3's validator).
Try this...
"use strict";
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller("myController", function() {
this.edit = false;
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<div data-ng-app="myApp" data-ng-controller="myController as ctrl">
Edit
<div id="formulaire" class="gl" data-ng-show="ctrl.edit">
<form>
<fieldset>
<label>Field:</label>
<input type="text" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
</div>
Have you looked into the ngShow directive? It ables you to show or hide a DOM element depending on whether the attribute expression resolves to a truthey or falsey value.
Add model change on click
Edit
And then display the form if model is true
<div id = "formulaire" class="gl" ng-if="show">
I'm trying to submit a form the normal way in a AngularJS application but I encounter an issue : it seems that I must specify the action attribute.
According to the HTML specifications (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#form-submission-algorithm) :
If action is the empty string, let action be the document's address of
the form document.
But AngularJS refuses to submit the form if the action attribute is not filled.
A work-around I found would be to use action="#" but this is not an acceptable solution since I might use the hash and I don't want it to be rewritten.
Has anyone ever experienced this issue ?
Edit : I don't want to use angular for this form, I just want to submit it the "old" way
I created a small directive to solve this:
.directive('form', ['$location', function($location) {
return {
restrict:'E',
priority: 999,
compile: function() {
return {
pre: function(scope, element, attrs){
if (attrs.noaction === '') return;
if (attrs.action === undefined || attrs.action === ''){
attrs.action = $location.absUrl();
}
}
}
}
}
}]);
Seems to be good for me. It looks for a form where the action is empty, and sets it to the current url.
Actually, it doesn't set the action - it sets the attr value, so the actual form directive thinks it's got one.
Update by #Reimund is good - I have actually had to do the same.
New Update - I have added the option to add a noaction attribute to the form element; this enables you to return to a "normal" angular situation. Otherwise this directive will submit forms twice if using ajax.
In the library, you can see that Angular listens to the event submit of your forms without action : https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/b9fa5c5a6781f4e1ec337f27d55c69db491a6555/src/ng/directive/form.js#L331
You can comment this line, it works, but I'm against editing the code of libraries.
Few lines after, you can see that Angular listening to the event $destroy enabling to remove the action on this event.
Therefore, to avoid modifying Angular, you can just trigger this event of your form:
angular.element(document).ready(function(){
angular.element(document.querySelector("#loginForm")).triggerHandler("$destroy");
});
The reason of this behavior is described few lines above:
we can't use jq events because if a form is destroyed during submission the default action is not prevented.
And the related issue is: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/1238
You can use ng-submit.
Form
<form name="test" action="" ng-submit="submit()">
What's your name? <input ng-model="name" /><br />
<button>Send</button>
</form>
<br />
My name is: {{name}}
JS
var app = angular.module('App', []);
app.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.submit = function() {
$scope.name = $scope.name + ' Doe';
}
});

Normally I simply make button with ng-click handler.
<button ng-click="Generate()">Submit</button><br>
I have a form with several different fieldsets. I have some jQuery that displays the field sets to the users one at a time. For browsers that support HTML5 validation, I'd love to make use of it. However, I need to do it on my terms. I'm using JQuery.
When a user clicks a JS Link to move to the next fieldset, I need the validation to happen on the current fieldset and block the user from moving forward if there is issues.
Ideally, as the user loses focus on an element, validation will occur.
Currently have novalidate going and using jQuery. Would prefer to use the native method. :)
TL;DR: Not caring about old browsers? Use form.reportValidity().
Need legacy browser support? Read on.
It actually is possible to trigger validation manually.
I'll use plain JavaScript in my answer to improve reusability, no jQuery is needed.
Assume the following HTML form:
<form>
<input required>
<button type="button">Trigger validation</button>
</form>
And let's grab our UI elements in JavaScript:
var form = document.querySelector('form')
var triggerButton = document.querySelector('button')
Don't need support for legacy browsers like Internet Explorer? This is for you.
All modern browsers support the reportValidity() method on form elements.
triggerButton.onclick = function () {
form.reportValidity()
}
That's it, we're done. Also, here's a simple CodePen using this approach.
Approach for older browsers
Below is a detailed explanation how reportValidity() can be emulated in older browsers.
However, you don't need to copy&paste those code blocks into your project yourself — there is a ponyfill/polyfill readily available for you.
Where reportValidity() is not supported, we need to trick the browser a little bit. So, what will we do?
Check validity of the form by calling form.checkValidity(). This will tell us if the form is valid, but not show the validation UI.
If the form is invalid, we create a temporary submit button and trigger a click on it. Since the form is not valid, we know it won't actually submit, however, it will show validation hints to the user. We'll remove the temporary submit button immedtiately, so it will never be visible to the user.
If the form is valid, we don't need to interfere at all and let the user proceed.
In code:
triggerButton.onclick = function () {
// Form is invalid!
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
// Create the temporary button, click and remove it
var tmpSubmit = document.createElement('button')
form.appendChild(tmpSubmit)
tmpSubmit.click()
form.removeChild(tmpSubmit)
} else {
// Form is valid, let the user proceed or do whatever we need to
}
}
This code will work in pretty much any common browser (I've tested it successfully down to IE11).
Here's a working CodePen example.
You can't trigger the native validation UI (see edit below), but you can easily take advantage of the validation API on arbitrary input elements:
$('input').blur(function(event) {
event.target.checkValidity();
}).bind('invalid', function(event) {
setTimeout(function() { $(event.target).focus();}, 50);
});
The first event fires checkValidity on every input element as soon as it loses focus, if the element is invalid then the corresponding event will be fired and trapped by the second event handler. This one sets the focus back to the element, but that could be quite annoying, I assume you have a better solution for notifying about the errors. Here's a working example of my code above.
EDIT: All modern browsers support the reportValidity() method for native HTML5 validation, per this answer.
In some extent, You CAN trigger HTML5 form validation and show hints to user without submitting the form!
Two button, one for validate, one for submit
Set a onclick listener on the validate button to set a global flag(say justValidate) to indicate this click is intended to check the validation of the form.
And set a onclick listener on the submit button to set the justValidate flag to false.
Then in the onsubmit handler of the form, you check the flag justValidate to decide the returning value and invoke the preventDefault() to stop the form to submit. As you know, the HTML5 form validation(and the GUI hint to user) is preformed before the onsubmit event, and even if the form is VALID you can stop the form submit by returning false or invoke preventDefault().
And, in HTML5 you have a method to check the form's validation: the form.checkValidity(), then in you can know if the form is validate or not in your code.
OK, here is the demo:
http://jsbin.com/buvuku/2/edit
var field = $("#field")
field.keyup(function(ev){
if(field[0].value.length < 10) {
field[0].setCustomValidity("characters less than 10")
}else if (field[0].value.length === 10) {
field[0].setCustomValidity("characters equal to 10")
}else if (field[0].value.length > 10 && field[0].value.length < 20) {
field[0].setCustomValidity("characters greater than 10 and less than 20")
}else if(field[0].validity.typeMismatch) {
field[0].setCustomValidity("wrong email message")
}else {
field[0].setCustomValidity("") // no more errors
}
field[0].reportValidity()
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="email" id="field">
Somewhat easy to make add or remove HTML5 validation to fieldsets.
$('form').each(function(){
// CLEAR OUT ALL THE HTML5 REQUIRED ATTRS
$(this).find('.required').attr('required', false);
// ADD THEM BACK TO THE CURRENT FIELDSET
// I'M JUST USING A CLASS TO IDENTIFY REQUIRED FIELDS
$(this).find('fieldset.current .required').attr('required', true);
$(this).submit(function(){
var current = $(this).find('fieldset.current')
var next = $(current).next()
// MOVE THE CURRENT MARKER
$(current).removeClass('current');
$(next).addClass('current');
// ADD THE REQUIRED TAGS TO THE NEXT PART
// NO NEED TO REMOVE THE OLD ONES
// SINCE THEY SHOULD BE FILLED OUT CORRECTLY
$(next).find('.required').attr('required', true);
});
});
I seem to find the trick:
Just remove the form target attribute, then use a submit button to validate the form and show hints, check if form valid via JavaScript, and then post whatever. The following code works for me:
<form>
<input name="foo" required>
<button id="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
$('#submit').click( function(e){
var isValid = true;
$('form input').map(function() {
isValid &= this.validity['valid'] ;
}) ;
if (isValid) {
console.log('valid!');
// post something..
} else
console.log('not valid!');
});
</script>
Html Code:
<form class="validateDontSubmit">
....
<button style="dislay:none">submit</button>
</form>
<button class="outside"></button>
javascript( using Jquery):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('submit','.validateDontSubmit',function (e) {
//prevent the form from doing a submit
e.preventDefault();
return false;
})
$(document).ready(function(){
// using button outside trigger click
$('.outside').click(function() {
$('.validateDontSubmit button').trigger('click');
});
});
</script>
Hope this will help you
For input field
<input id="PrimaryPhNumber" type="text" name="mobile" required
pattern="^[789]\d{9}$" minlenght="10" maxLength="10" placeholder="Eg: 9444400000"
class="inputBoxCss"/>
$('#PrimaryPhNumber').keyup(function (e) {
console.log(e)
let field=$(this)
if(Number(field.val()).toString()=="NaN"){
field.val('');
field.focus();
field[0].setCustomValidity('Please enter a valid phone number');
field[0].reportValidity()
$(":focus").css("border", "2px solid red");
}
})
$('#id').get(0).reportValidity();
This will trigger the input with ID specified. Use ".classname" for classes.
When there is a very complex (especially asynchronous) validation process, there is a simple workaround:
<form id="form1">
<input type="button" onclick="javascript:submitIfVeryComplexValidationIsOk()" />
<input type="submit" id="form1_submit_hidden" style="display:none" />
</form>
...
<script>
function submitIfVeryComplexValidationIsOk() {
var form1 = document.forms['form1']
if (!form1.checkValidity()) {
$("#form1_submit_hidden").click()
return
}
if (checkForVeryComplexValidation() === 'Ok') {
form1.submit()
} else {
alert('form is invalid')
}
}
</script>
Another way to resolve this problem:
$('input').oninvalid(function (event, errorMessage) {
event.target.focus();
});
