Make ckeditor read only on page load - html

I want to make ckeditor read-only on a page, and only read-only. How do I do this? I have tried to reform the below code to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out.
I made the editor to have a toggle read-only mode, which loads as not read-only. (It's not but I want, but this is the closest I have gotten) This is the code I have for that:
window.onload = function () {
CKEDITOR.replace('textBox', );
}
var editor;
// The instanceReady event is fired, when an instance of CKEditor has finished
// its initialization.
CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function (ev) {
editor = ev.editor;
// Show this "on" button.
document.getElementById('readOnlyOn').style.display = '';
// Event fired when the readOnly property changes.
editor.on('readOnly', function () {
document.getElementById('readOnlyOn').style.display = this.readOnly ? 'none' : '';
document.getElementById('readOnlyOff').style.display = this.readOnly ? '' : 'none';
});
});
function toggleReadOnly(isReadOnly) {
// Change the read-only state of the editor.
// http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/symbols/CKEDITOR.editor.html#setReadOnly
editor.setReadOnly(isReadOnly);
}
And the html:
<p>
<textarea class="ckeditor" id="editor1" name="editor1" style="height:400px;width:900px">${alert.html}</textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input id="readOnlyOn" onclick="toggleReadOnly();" type="button" value="Make it read-only"
style="display:none" />
<input id="readOnlyOff" onclick="toggleReadOnly( false );" type="button"
value="Make it editable again" style="display:none" />
</p>

Define disabled attribute for <textarea> and the editor will start read-only:
<textarea id="editor" disabled>Cow says moo!</textarea>
See the sample fiddle.

I made the html & js code to do the validation check. But the data is submitted before checking the data

<form name="mForm" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/login/insertSeller.do" method="post">
id : <input type="text" name="id" />
<input type="submit" value="register" onClick="doAction()" />
</form>
<script>
function doAction() {
var f = document.mForm;
var id = f.id;
if (id.value == "") {
alert("insert your id");
id.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
Is there any error to correct?
If I click the button, the alert window opens with a message,
but the data is submitted without the validation check.
What do I need to do?
Please help me :)
You really shouldn’t have inline event handlers in modern HTML. Nevertheless, you could try the following:
<input … onclick="return doAction()">
The return in the onclick causes the input to wait for permission.
For the sake of completeness, here is how I would do it in a modern browser:
First, use a button instead:
<button type="submit">register</button>
Second, give your button a name
<button name="register" type="submit">register</button>
You can give a name to the older style input element, and the process will still work.
Next, add the following to your JavaScript:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',function() {
document.querySelector('button[name="register"]).onclick=doAction;
},false);
The main function acts as a startup script. The point of it is that it is waiting for the DOM to have loaded. Otherwise it’s not possible to look for elements that aren’t there yet.
Note that you assign to the onclick event handler the name of the function.

HTML form validation with Google Apps Script's HTML Service

I'm trying to use HTML form validation when using Google Apps Script's HTML Service. As another user asked, according to the documentation example, you must use a button input instead of a submit input. Using a submit button seems to do the validation, but the server function is called anyway. The answer given to that user didn't work for me. Also, I want to call two functions when submitting the form and this can make it more complex.
This is what I'm trying to do: The user fills a form and I generate a Google Doc and give him the URL. When he clicks the submit button, I show him a jQuery UI dialog saying "Your document is being created" with a nice spinner. Then, when the document is generated, I give him the link. I use the success handler to show the result when the Google Doc stuff is finished, but meanwhile I need a function to show the spinner. I don't know if there is a better way to do that than adding another function to the onclick event and maybe it can be damaging the process in some way. Is there a way not to call any of these functions if the form is not valid (using HTML validation)?
This is a simplified version of my code:
Code.gs
function generateDocument(formObject) {
var doc = DocumentApp.create("Document name");
...
return doc.getUrl();
}
Page.html
<main>
<form id="myForm">
...
<input type="button" value="Generate document"
onclick="showProgress();
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(openDocument)
.generateDocument(this.parentNode);"/>
</form>
<div id="dialog-confirm" title="Your document">
<div id="dialog-confirm-text"></div>
</div>
Javascript.html
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false, modal: true });
function showProgress() {
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({ buttons: [ { text: "Cancel", click: function() { $( this ).dialog( "close" ); } } ] });
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog( "open" );
$( "#dialog-confirm-text" ).html( "<br />Wait a second, your document is being generated...<br /><br /><img src='http://i.stack.imgur.com/FhHRx.gif' alt='Spinner'></img>" );
return false;
}
function openDocument(url) {
$( "#dialog-confirm" ).dialog({ autoOpen: false, resizable: false, width: 400, buttons: [ { text: "Ok", click: function() { $( this ).dialog( "close" ); } } ] });
$( "#dialog-confirm-text" ).html( '<br />Click here to open and print your document!' );
return false;
}
All three HTML docs are joined together (and working with its respective tags) with the include function as recommended in the documentation.
The Cancel button in the dialog will close it but won't stop the doc being created. Is it possible to stop this process?
Here's a solution that I found:
"<input type='submit' onclick='if(verifyForm(this.parentNode)===true){google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(YOUROUTPUT).YOURFUNCTION(this.parentNode); return false;}' value='Submit'></form>";
JavaScript side
function verifyForm(){
var elements = document.getElementById("myForm").elements;
for (var i = 0, element; element = elements[i++];) {
if (element.hasAttribute("required") && element.value === ""){
resetInputs();
return false;
}
if (element.hasAttribute("pattern")){
var value = element.value;
if(value.match(element.pattern)){
}else{
resetInputs();
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
Calling the window has issues in iOS sometimes, which is why I investigated this further.
Move the function call to the <form> element; remove any function call from the submit input element; and put intermediary JavaScript code into a <script> tag:
<input tabindex="9" type="submit" value="Save Input" id='idInputBtn'>
<form id="myInputForm" name="input" onsubmit="fncWriteInput(this)">
<script>
window.fncWriteInput= function(argTheInfo) {
// Do additional checks here if you want
var everythingIsOk = . . . . . . . ;
if (everythingIsOk) {
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler(openDocument)
.generateDocument(argTheInfo);
};
};
Notice that this.parentNode gets removed to the arg of the function call, and just use this in the function argument because the function is getting called from the <form> element, which is the parent.
If there are any errors, the form will not be submitted, and the user will get a msg that something was wrong. No code will run.
This is pseudo code, but I do use a set up like this in my application. But use developer tools and you can put a break point right in your browser and step through every line to test it without needing to put in console.log statements.

Cannot unbind a click event?

I am trying to undo an event handler/listener that is added in an linked JS file in the header of the webpage.
The basic setup:
<form id="form_enter_giveaway" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="04b931caff99a0a688241e6da5f09839">
<input type="hidden" name="enter_giveaway" value="1">
Enter to Win! (1P)
</form>
JS file (http://www.steamgifts.com/js/header_functions.js):
$('.submit_entry, .remove_entry').click(function(){
$('#form_enter_giveaway').submit();
return false;
});
There is nothing native that should run if I click that link, and searching every reference to that link and that form in general seems to show that that single piece of JS is the only thing that could possibly be causing the form to submit.
But I have tried $('.submit_entry, .remove_entry') .unbind(), .off(), die() with the console; All with and without 'click', and every time I click that link tag it still submits. And it is interfering with the event I want to have run in its place.
Try this
var $selector = $('.submit_entry, .remove_entry');
// Binding the event using on so that it can be unbinded later
// that triggers the submitForm handler
$selector.on('click', submitForm);
function submitForm() {
$('#form_enter_giveaway').submit();
return false
}
// Unbind the event using off
$selector.off('click');
// Bind the event and prevent the default action of anchor
$selector.on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});

Making 'file' input element mandatory (required)

I want to make (an HTML) 'file' input element mandatory: something like
<input type='file' required = 'required' .../>
But it is not working.
I saw this WW3 manual which states 'required' attribute is new to HTML 5. But I am not using HTML 5 in the project I am working which doesn't support the new feature.
Any idea?
Thanks to HTML5, it is as easy as this:
<input type='file' required />
Example:
<form>
<input type='file' required />
<button type="submit"> Submit </button>
</form>
You can do it using Jquery like this:-
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#upload').bind("click",function()
{
var imgVal = $('#uploadfile').val();
if(imgVal=='')
{
alert("empty input file");
return false;
}
});
});
</script>
<input type="file" name="image" id="uploadfile" size="30" />
<input type="submit" name="upload" id="upload" class="send_upload" value="upload" />
As of now in 2017, I am able to do this-
<input type='file' required />
and when you submit the form, it asks for file.
You could create a polyfill that executes on the form submit. For example:
/* Attach the form event when jQuery loads. */
$(document).ready(function(e){
/* Handle any form's submit event. */
$("form").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault(); /* Stop the form from submitting immediately. */
var continueInvoke = true; /* Variable used to avoid $(this) scope confusion with .each() function. */
/* Loop through each form element that has the required="" attribute. */
$("form input[required]").each(function(){
/* If the element has no value. */
if($(this).val() == ""){
continueInvoke = false; /* Set the variable to false, to indicate that the form should not be submited. */
}
});
/* Read the variable. Detect any items with no value. */
if(continueInvoke == true){
$(this).submit(); /* Submit the form. */
}
});
});
This script waits for the form to be submitted, then loops though each form element that has the required attribute has a value entered. If everything has a value, it submits the form.
An example element to be checked could be:
<input type="file" name="file_input" required="true" />
(You can remove the comments & minify this code when using it on your website)
var imgVal = $('[type=file]').val();
Similar to Vivek's suggestion, but now you have a more generic selector of the input file and you don't rely on specific ID or class.
See this demo.
Some times the input field is not bound with the form.
I might seem within the <form> and </form> tags but it is outside these tags.
You can try applying the form attribute to the input field to make sure it is related to your form.
<input type="file" name="" required="" form="YOUR-FORM-ID-HERE" />
I hope it helps.
All statements above are entirely correct. However, it is possible for a malicious user to send a POST request without using your form in order to generate errors. Thus, HTML and JS, while offering a user-friendly approach, will not prevent these sorts of attacks. To do so, make sure that your server double checks request data to make sure nothing is empty.

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

var inpObj = document.getElementById("gfg");
if (!inpObj.checkValidity()) {

.innerHTML = inpObj.validationMessage;
} else {
document.getElementById("geeks")
.innerHTML = "Input is ALL RIGHT";
}

javascript/jQuery Double Submit Prevention method disables initiation of html5 attributes (e.g. Required, Pattern, etc.)

The javascript/jQuery double submit prevention method I use is this:
$("#btnsubmit").click(function () {
$("#btnsubmit").attr('disabled','disabled');
$('#postform').submit();
});
So on submit click, the Submit Button is disabled and the form is submit. So double submit of the form will not happen. BUT. The problem now is that the html5 attributes will not initiate (e.g. Required, Pattern, etc.)
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
or maybe you can suggest alternative double submit prevention method that will not tamper with the html5 attributes?
EDIT + DANIEL PATZ ANSWER:
$('#postform').on('submit', function (e) {
// THIS PART
var titleLength = $("#title").val().length;
var descriptionLength = $("#description").val().length;
if(titleLength < 20 || descriptionLength < 150) {
$("#ps").text("Title and Desc Problem.");
} else {
// UNTIL HERE
$('[type="submit"]').prop('disabled','disabled');
}
});
If you catch the submit event, it should work. http://jsfiddle.net/tcc7u/
HTML:
<form>
<input required /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
JS:
$('form').on('submit', function (e) {
$('[type="submit"]').prop('disabled','disabled');
});
