I have the next HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE><html><body>
<form method='post' action='/upload' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='uploadFile'/>
<input type='submit' /></form>
</body></html>
Which create a file input and submit button, which sends a POST method (/upload).
I want to create a new button (submitBig), which would send another POST method (/uploadBig).
How can I do it?
A simple workaround, Create 2 Forms:
<!DOCTYPE><html><body>
<form method='post' action='/upload' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='uploadFile'/>
<input type='submit' /></form>
<form method='post' action='/uploadBig' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='uploadFileBig'/>
<input type='submit' /></form>
</body></html>
Else you should indeed refer to Javascript.
Use JavaScript to run a different function for each button. Set the .action and do the .submit from there.
You will need to use Javascript. Essentially this will edit the Action of the form and post it on click:
$('#big-submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('form').attr('action', '/uploadBig').submit();
});
An even better solution would be to just have the one button, and then get the file size on click and post to the relevant action.
You can use jQuery or simple Javascript:
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" id="theForm" action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="uploadFile" />
<input type="submit" value="normal Submit (/upload)" />
<input type="button" id="bigButton" value="big Submit (/uploadBig)" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var theForm = document.getElementById('theForm');
/* When the button is clicked */
document.getElementById('bigButton').onclick = function() {
/* Change the location */
theForm.action = '/uploadBig';
/* Submit the form */
theForm.submit();
};
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can use the HTML5 formaction attribute to do that (but you have to check it's compatibility with your requirements to use it : it only works on recent browsers).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="uploadFile"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit big" formaction="/uploadBig" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here One way to get around this is to handle each button's OnClick event and set the "action" for the form dynamically:
<!-- create the form -->
<form name="Form1" method="post">
<!-- Add the data entry bits -->
Your Name <input type="text" name="text1" size="10" /><br />
<!-- Add some buttons -->
<INPUT type="button" value="Button1" name=button1 onclick="return OnButton1();">
<INPUT type="button" value="Button2" name=button2 onclick="return OnButton2();">
<!-- close the form -->
</form>
Our button click handlers for Button1 and Button2 would look like the following:
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
function OnButton1()
{
document.Form1.action = "Page1.aspx"
document.Form1.target = "_blank"; // Open in a new window
document.Form1.submit(); // Submit the page
return true;
}
function OnButton2()
{
document.Form1.action = "Page2.aspx"
document.Form1.target = "_blank"; // Open in a new window
document.Form1.submit(); // Submit the page
return true;
}
-->
</script>
<noscript>You need Javascript enabled for this to work</noscript>
Where Page1.aspx should be called when Button1 is pressed, and Page2.aspx called when Button2 is pressed.

I want to use a text input as a link when user hits enter.
for instance user types "stacks" to the input area and when user hits enter, it directs user to "lookup/stacks".
How can I do this?
Thanks.
I have this code but it does not work.
<form class="ui icon input" role="form" action="/lookup/">
<input type="text" placeholder="Ara...">
<i class="search link icon"></i>
</form>
Here's a quick idea to update the form's URL whenever the input changes, although I haven't tested it. The hidden submit button means the enter key works as you intend. I think you should also follow Alex's idea for a server-side backup just in case a visitor has javascript disabled.
<form class="ui icon input" role="form" action="/lookup/">
<input type="text" placeholder="Ara..." id="input_lookup">
<i class="search link icon"></i>
<input type="submit" style="position: absolute; left: -9999px"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
// if "change" doesn't work then maybe "keyup"?
document.getElementById("input_lookup").addEventListener("change", function(){
this.form.setAttribute("action", "/lookup/" + this.value);
});
</script>
You can do it with jQuery .submit().
Here's the example given on jQuery's page:
<form id="target" action="destination.html">
<input type="text" value="Hello there">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
<div id="other">
Trigger the handler
</div>
$( "#target" ).submit(function( event ) {
alert( "Handler for .submit() called." );
event.preventDefault();
});
You could use PHP to do this..
Here is a basic example, you could expand on this later if needed.
1st page..
HTML:
<form action="url.php" method="post">
<input name="url" id="url" type="text">
<input type="submit" name = "submit" value="submit">
</form>
2nd page - url.php (must be called depending on form action url)
<?php
$url = $_POST['url'];
header('Location: ' . $url);
?>
i am trying to assign a textbox value to a php variable now problem is i want one button to work for two different pages i.e if i enter in a text box 'a'and click on button it should redirect to 'a.php' page if i write in a text box 'b' it should redirect to 'b.php'.
so one textbox,one button two different pages.
Code :
<html><head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<script>
function submitForm(action)
{
document.getElementById('a').action = action;
document.getElementById('a').submit();
}
function submitForm1(action)
{
document.getElementById('b').action = action;
document.getElementById('b').submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body >
<h3><font face="verdana" size="3"><b>Enter Text:</b></h3>
<input type="text" align="right" style="font-size:15pt;height:32px;"><br><br>
<form action="b.php" name="b" id="b" method="post">
<form action="a.php" name="a" id="a" method="post">
<input type="submit" onclick="submitForm('a.php')" value="TRY" name="a">
<input type="button" onclick="submitForm1('b.php')" value="TRY" name="b">
</form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
You can change the action onsubmit based on the text inside the input.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function onsubmit_handler(){
var myForm = document.getElementById('myForm');
var data = document.getElementById('data').value;
if(data == "a")
myForm.setAttribute('action', 'a.php');
else if(data == "b")
myForm.setAttribute('action', 'b.php');
else
myForm.setAttribute('action', 'error.php');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Enter Text:</h3>
<form id="myForm" method="post" onsubmit="onsubmit_handler()">
<input type="text" id="data" name="data" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Post">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Test code here : http://jsfiddle.net/Eg9S4/
use this codes buddy
<html><head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<script>
function submitForm()
{
var link=document.getElementById('a');
var str1 = "a.php";
var n = str1.localeCompare(link);
if(n==1)
{
window.open("main.html");
}
else if(n==-1)
{
window.open("index.html");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body >
<h3><font face="verdana" size="3"><b>Enter Text:</b></h3>
<input type="text" align="right" style="font-size:15pt;height:32px;"><br><br>
<input type="submit" onclick="submitForm()" value="TRY" name="a">
</form>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The problem looks to be that you're using getElementById but the input elements don't have an ID (they only have a name).
I'd also recommend attaching an onSubmit event to the form and removing the onClick events from the buttons.
Edit: After looking at the code in detail I saw that there were some other issues that were probably hindering the opersation. The most notable one was that you can't nest form tags. There were some other CSS and validation issues.
Here is some working code:
Test Page
function SubmitForm(el) {
// Get the form element so that we can set the action later
var form = document.getElementById('theForm');
// Set the action for the form based on which button was clicked
if (el.id == "A")
form.action = "a.php";
if (el.id == "B")
form.action = "b.php";
// You dont need to submit the form. It's alreasdy happening, so there is no need for an explicit call.
}
</script>
<h3 style="font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bold;">Enter Text:</h3>
<input type="text" style="font-size:15pt;height:32px;"><br><br>
<form method="post" onsubmit="SubmitForm();" action="fake.html" id="theForm">
<input type="submit" id="A" value="A" onclick="SubmitForm(this);">
<input type="submit" id="B" value="B" onclick="SubmitForm(this);">
</form>
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 have a form which has an iframe as target. It works well when using the classic "submit" button, but when I use Jquery to submit the form, it opens a new window and does not target in the iframe. Any suggestion on why this happens?
Here is my code:
function formSubmit() {
$('#formId').submit();
}
<form name="formId" id="formId" action="ajax/submitForm.php" method="post" target="iframe_submit" tmt:validate="true">
[...]
<input type="button" id="submit_button" value="GO" onclick="javascript:formSubmit();" />
</form>
<iframe style="border:none;width:0px;height:0px" id="iframe_submit" name="iframe_submit"></iframe>
try with
$('#formId').get(0).submit();
Problem not in iframe but in onclick="javascript:formSubmit();". For start you don't need to write javascript: in on..="" attributes. But better to use jQuery events:
<form name="formId" id="formId" action="ajax/submitForm.php" method="post" target="iframe_submit">
<input type="text" name="x" />
<input type="button" id="submit_button" value="GO" />
</form>
and:
function ftformSubmit() {
$('#formId').submit();
}
$(function(){
$('#submit_button').click(function(){
$('#formId').submit();
});
});

I am submitting form via javascript by using 'document.FormName.submit()' . But this is giving me error of 'submit is not a function'. I m using IE8
<script typr="text/javascript">
function submitForm()
{
document.theForm.submit()
}
</script>
<body>
<form name="theForm" method="post">
<input type="text" name= "name">
<input type="button" name="submit" value="submit" onclick="submitForm()">
</form>
</body>
Please help me ?
problem is with your button name
i have use this its work fine
<script type='text/javascript'>
function submitForm()
{
document.theForm.submit();
}
</script>
<form name="theForm" method="post" action="default.php">
<input type="text" name="t" id="t"/><br/>
<input type="button" name="t1" value="submit" onClick="submitForm();">
</form>
use
document.forms[index].submit()
instead
Try this:
document.getElementsByName("theForm")[0].submit();
And you need to put the script after you declared the elements so :
<form name="theForm" onSubmit= "submitForm()">
<input type="text" name= "name">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm()
{
document.getElementsByName("theForm")[0].submit();
}
</script>
Or you can use events like document onload if you want to kepp your scripts in the page head.
If your form name is FormName
try this
Action
by the way your code is missing a semicolon at the end of the statement
and a spelling mistake here
<script typr="text/javascript">
typr
Here is the problem
change it typr is nothing should be type
<script typr="text/javascript">
to
<script language="javascript">
OR
<script type="text/javascript">
I just copy your code and executed in IE8 and it worked fine, so how is not working on your IE8. May be it is because of your hierarchy. So you please give id to form and try document.getElementById to access your form and then submit method. Do some thing like this"
<script type='text/javascript'>
function submitForm()
{
document.getElementById('your_form').submit();
}
</script>
<form name="theForm" id="your_form" method="post" action="default.php">
<input type="text" name="t" id="t"/>
<input type="button" name="t1" value="submit" onClick="submitForm();">
</form>
document.getElementById("theForm").submit();
It works perfect in my case.
you can use it in function also like,
function submitForm()
{
document.getElementById("theForm").submit();
}
Set "theForm" as your form ID. It's done.
