html form, newbie error - html

I have two html files namely "file1.html" and "file2.html". File1 is supposed to encode a string written in an input file and send it to file2 via URL so that it could be decoded there.
My problem is an embarrassing one as I'm having trouble while passing from file1 to file2. Here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function encode()
{
var encodeThis = document.getElementById("exampleText").value;
document.getElementById("exampleText").value = escape(escape(encodeThis));
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="input" action="file2.html" method="get">
<input id="exampleText" type="text" name="example" value="Not strongly encoded" />
<input type="button" value="Encode and Submit!" onclick="encode()" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I click to submit button, I expect to send the encoded string via URL and pass to file2.html where I can process it, however I remain at my first page: "file1.html". Which fundamental knowledge do I lack here ? Thanks in advance for your time.

Because there is no submit. Either you give the input-tag the type submit instead of button or you make a form.submit () via JS.
document.input.submit(); should do this.
BTW... why double-escape?

The submit button should be like this:
<input type="submit" value="Encode and Submit!" onclick="encode()" />

how to call GAS functions in local html page

to demonstrate what im trying to do using a simple example:
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<form id="uploaderForm" action="https://script.google.com/macros/.......exec Method="POST">
<input type="text" name="applicantName" id="applicantName">
<input type="text" name="applicantEmail" id="applicantEmail">
<input type="button" value="Submit">
</form>
<script>
.
.
.
google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(onFileUploaded)
.uploadFile(content, file.name, folderId);
</script>
so this is an example of the html and js page that is in my pc, not in the google app, i just called the google app in the form, and in the javascript part im calling a function called uploadFile, which is located in the google script, but obviously i get an error in the console , it says :
Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined
at uploadFiles (6166bff606ac6fee1994e592:67)
at HTMLInputElement.onclick
is it possible to call a GAS function inside JS that is not in the GAS html.
is what im trying to do even possible, the whoel reason im doing this is so that i can pass the username and email automatically from the database to the app, the app works if the html part is hosted in the google app script, but then i cant figure out how to pass the email and username to it because in this case i call the app using , so is it possible to pass the username and email through the iframe call, i dunno im very new to this i have so many questions, honestly the documentation wasn't helpful to me. please feel free to comment anything, everythign is helpful
Since you're just posting the form data, you can name the function you want to call as doPost()(instead of uploadFile) and it will receive the posted data. You have to republish the webapp as a new version after the modification.
I just ran it as a dialog. I returned the data back into the success handler and loaded by into the html to insure it was working.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<base target="_top">
</head>
<body>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" name="applicantName" id="applicantName"/>
<input type="text" name="applicantEmail" id="applicantEmail"/>
<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="uploadfile(this.parentNode);" />
</form>
<div id="msg"></div>
<script>
function uploadfile(form) {
google.script.run
.withSuccessHandler((m) => document.getElementById("msg").innerHTML = m)
.uploadMyFile(form);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
gs:
function uploadMyFile(obj) {
return `Applicant Name: ${obj.applicantName}<br />Applicant Email: ${obj.applicantEmail}`;
}
function launchFormDialog() {
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModelessDialog(HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('ah2'),'Test Dialog');
}

Send a form without the "?" character and the name of the value

I have this code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="https://api.pagar.me/1/zipcodes/">
<input type="text" placeholder="cep" name="cep">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I type a number, for example 05423110, I get on the adress bar is "https://api.pagar.me/1/zipcodes/?cep=05423110", but I would like to have "https://api.pagar.me/1/zipcodes/05423110".
What do I need to change on my code?
Thanks!
I would do it like this. The other answer will have the problem where it could potentially append something twice.
I also set it so the button disables for user friendliness (in case the server takes awhile to respond).
This solution does use jQuery, but chances are you will need to do other simple DOM manipulation and this will be very helpful.
Because you don't want the query string in there, but you must have it be GET, then its impossible not to have it append the query string to the URL (because that's what a GET request does).
Instead, I use javascript to simply redirect to the proper URL and ignore the form GET/POST entirely.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="https://api.pagar.me/1/zipcodes/">
<input type="text" placeholder="cep" name="cep">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
(function() {
var form = $('form');
var baseUrl = form.attr('action');
$('form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
form.find('[type="submit"]').prop('disabled', true);
window.location.href = baseUrl + form.find('[name="cep"]').val();
});
})();
</script>
Add method="post" to the form tag, then add an event listener to the form's submit event which append the input value to the action attribute value on the form:
const form = document.forms[0]
form.addEventListener('submit',()=>{form.action+=cep.value})
<form action="https://api.pagar.me/1/zipcodes/" method="post">
<input type="text" placeholder="cep" name="cep" id="cep">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Ofc StackOverflow snippets prevents POST.

Show validation message without using required

I want to display a validation message only when a user types something in the input field. I can't put required in the input box.
<input type="url" class="form-control" name="website_url">
The input data should be a valid website URL.
Can I do this without using Jquery or Javascript?
You can achieve this by javascript like this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
Enter your url: <input type="text" id="url" onfocusout="myFunction()">
<script>
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("url");
var re = //use valid regex here;
if (!re.test(url)) {
alert("url error");
return false;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
you have to use valid regex for url like this
but I prefer to do server side validation to in case javascript is off.

Submit Button Sends Email even If reCaptcha has been done

Im in the process of adding the reCaptcha from google to my form. The problem is that even though I have followed the instructions from google. I can still press the Submit button without doing the recaptcha. Any Ideas please heres the relevant code snippets.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>webpage title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="view.css" media="all">
<script type="text/javascript" src="view.js"></script>
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
</head>
And the this snippet in the form part of the webpage
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="xxxxxxmyapikeyxxxxxxx_xxxxxxmyapikeyxxxxxxx"></div>
<li class="buttons">
<input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="1136056" />
<input id="saveForm" class="button_text" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</li>
</ul>
</form>
As far as I'm aware I have placed the code in the specified areas of my webpage. One before the closing tag on your HTML template and the snippet at the end of the where I want the reCAPTCHA widget to appear.
I have put the recaptcha before the submit button. There is a part about the server side integration that I do not understand.
[QUOTE]
When your users submit the form where you integrated reCAPTCHA, you'll
get as part of the payload a string with the name "g-recaptcha-response".
In order to check whether Google has verified that user,
send a POST request with these parameters:
URL: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify
secret (required) xxxxxmysecretkeyxxxxxxx
response (required) The value of 'g-recaptcha-response'.
remoteip The end user's ip address.
[/QUOTE]
Can anyone please shed some light on this please.
Thankyou
So we set up the form and make sure your library is included, I prevent the submit button from being clicked while the recaptcha has not been completed and show a tooltip to notify the user it is needed to continue. Then enable it when it has been complete using the callback methods.
login.php
<div class="formContainer">
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
<form action="loginHandler.php" method="post" name="login_form" id="loginForm" class="loginForm">
<h2>Login</h2>
<p><input type="text" required placeholder="Email" name="email"></p>
<p><input type="password" required placeholder="Password" name="password" id="password"></p>
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-callback="captcha_filled"
data-expired-callback="captcha_expired"
data-sitekey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX">
</div>
<div>
<p class="show-tt" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Complete the reCAPTCHA to login." data-placement="bottom">
<input id="submitLogin" type="submit" value="Login">
</p>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<script>
//prevent submit and show tooltip until captch is complete.
var submit = false;
$("#submitLogin").prop('disabled', true);
function captcha_filled() {
submit = true;
$("#submitLogin").prop('disabled', false);
$(".show-tt").tooltip('destroy');
}
function captcha_expired() {
submit = false;
$("#submitLogin").prop('disabled', true);
showTooltip();
}
function showTooltip () {
$(".show-tt").tooltip('show');
}
</script>
Now we post to loginHandler.php, or wherever your form submits too and then there we will assign your secret key and then verify the request with google.
loginHandler.php
$secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
if (isset($_POST["g-recaptcha-response"])) {
$url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=' . urlencode($secret) .
'&response=' . urlencode($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']) . '&remoteip=' . urlencode($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
//ip address is optional
$result = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);
if ($result != null && $result['success'] === true) {
//success, handle login/submit data or whatever
} else {
//response is bad, handle the error
header('Location: login.php?error=4');
}
} else {
//captcha response is not set, handle error
header('Location: login.php?error=5');
}

Store value in session variable in java script function on button click

I want to store rating value in jsp session variable inside the java script function for using in testOpeartion page
I tried this way but not storing any value "UserRating" session variable
<html>
<head>
<title>Registration Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SetRating()
{
var rating = document.getElementById("ratingValue").value;
<%
request.setAttribute("UsaerRating",rating);
%>
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="testOperation">
<input type="text" id="ratingValue" onclick="doDisplay(this);" />
<input type="Button" onclick="SetRating();" value="Set Rating"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
From this link
It's not possible to set any session variables directly from
javascript as it is purely a client side technology. You can use AJAX
though to asyncronously send a request to a servlet running on the
server and then add the data to the session from within the servlet.
So you wouldn't be using javascript to do the actual setting of
session variables but it would look like it is.
You can also get more details from THIS LINK
