I am trying to call a jQuery action within a div (subpage) that was generated by JavaScript. I pretty new at this so bear with me.
In the index.html I am populating a div, via a JavaScript load command.
<ul>
<li>Add new Group</li>
<li>List Groups</li>
</ul>
<div id="content"></div>
Then on the page that is generated (which isn't a full HTML page, just a form).
<?php
include "../incl/db_class_inc.php";
?>
<script>
$('input').live('click', function(){
$("input:.datepicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
<form action="./data/save_group.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<hr>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Group number:</td>
<td><input type="number" name="name" required /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Start date:</td>
<td><input type="date" name="start_date" class="datepicker" required /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>End date:</td>
<td><input type="date" name="end_date" class="datepicker" /></td>
</tr>
I am trying to run a jQuery script, and it will not run for anything. I know it has something to do with the .live() function right?
How do I get this jQuery function to run in the new DIV that is created?
Your selector is wrong:
$("input:.datepicker").datepicker();
You need to delete the :
$("input.datepicker").datepicker();
Note that live is deprecated, if you're using jQuery version 1.7+ use the on function instead
$('body').on('click', 'input',function(){
$("input.datepicker").datepicker();
});
Replace body with the closest static element that holds the dynamic inputs (div\form)
Move the inline scripts to the js file (separate of concerns). The HTML should only take care of the presentation of the page, not on the scripts at all.

I'm trying to add row to the table without refreshing page is it possible without using js? Basically I have a table and input in the modal my problem is that I need to refresh the page whenever I'm adding data to table which closes modal and data from the table has to be saved only when pressing save button in the modal. Maybe it is possible to do that using Laravel Controllers?
<table class="table" style="margin-top: 16px">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="table-text">
<div style="float: left">TASK NAME</div>
</td>
<td style="width: 10%">
<div style="float: end">DELETE</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
This is not possible without javascript.
Assuming you are using jquery, I would do something like this:
$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault(); // Disable the sending of the form
var one = $('#one').val();
var two = $('#two').val();
$('#one').val('');
$('#two').val('');
$.ajax({
url: "/api/products/add",
method: 'post',
data: {
product: one,
price: two
},
success: function(){
appendToTable(one, two);
}
});
appendToTable(one, two); // The Success function in this ajax would never reach, because the url is not set. Thats because the function is called here.
});
function appendToTable(one, two) {
$('table').append(`
<tr>
<td>${one}</td>
<td>${two}</td>
</tr>
`);
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form action="/api/products/add" method="post">
<input id="one" name="product" type="text" placeholder="product" required>
<input id="two" name="price" type="number" placeholder="price" required>
<button>Add</button>
</form>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PC</td>
<td>500</td>
</tr>
</table>
You disable the forms default behavior (submitting) and do the nessesarry work with js (or jquery). If the user hover disables js, the form submits as normal and sends the data.
I have a single table that is generated dynamically by looping through a result set and creating rows. For each row, I need to include 2 checkboxes. Checkbox A on each row needs to correspond to form A, and checkbox B to form B.
I know this isn't valid, but the below pseudocode is essentially what I want. I know that in HTML5 I can specify which form an input element belongs to, but my users will primarily be using IE8, which, as far as I can tell, doesn't support this feature.
<form name="formA">
<form name="formB">
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<th>
<th>
</tr>
LOOP
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chkA" value="1"></td>
<td>Something</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chkB" value="1"></td>
</tr>
END LOOP
</table>
<input type="submit" /> //formA
<input type="submit" /> //formB
</form> //formA
</form> //formB
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? I suppose one way would be to use a single form and change the action depending on which submit button is clicked, but I want to see if anyone else has any ideas before I do that.
Thanks,
Tom
Probably the best way is to just make it all in one form and act differently later according to the options selected.
For example
<form action="doStuff.php" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
<!-- LOOP -->
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chkA" value="1"></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="chkB" value="1"></td>
</tr>
<!-- END LOOP -->
</table>
<div>
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</div>
</form>
doStuff.php
if (isset( $_POST["chkA"] ) ){
// Checkbox A is checked.
}
if (isset( $_POST["chkB"] ) ){
// Checkbox B is checked.
}
I am stuck with a tabindex problem here. As you can see in the HTML mock up, I have four buttons namely "Add", "Subtract", "Save" and "Close". When user Hits the Tab key, the flow starts correctly from Add-> Subtract-> Save-> Close, but after Close if user hits the Tab key again, the focus goes to the TD TAG with comment "Jumping Here". What I want it to do is to go to Add button instead. I tried giving all Buttons a tabindex of 1, 2, 3, 4 then I tried giving every button an index of 1 and rest of the places as -1 but that didnt solve the problem either. How do I solve this issue?
http://jsfiddle.net/t3ch/aNxjy/
Pretty sure this is not possible. Just because you have a form with tabindex values, it doesn't mean those are the only elements that will receive focus. Even browser components, like the address bar, will receive focus at some point. The browser will use the tabindex you specify, but after that tabbing will cycle through everything else.
I don't like this idea but a way you could achieve this is registering an onblur event for the Close Button, then set the focus to what ever control you wanted...
This does work....
function resetFocusIndex(){
var obj = document.getElementsByName('addIt');
if(obj[0])
obj[0].focus();
}
<INPUT TYPE="button" tabindex = "1" VALUE="Close" NAME="closeIt" onblur="resetFocusIndex()">

function resetFocusIndex(){
var obj = document.getElementsByName('addIt');
if(obj){
obj[0].focus();
}
}

Don't do this it's an awful idea.
Have focusable items (eg input) preceding the first and following the last button in tab order. Hide them (eg by positioning them off the side of the page with position: absolute; left: -1000px;). When they get a focus event, move focus to the button at the other end of the tab order.
Don't do this it's an awful idea. Really.
First you need 'id's for the buttons, that's always good.
Then you need to set two handlers; one on the last to tab to first, and one on the first button to shif+tab to the last.
See this: http://jsfiddle.net/aNxjy/11/.
I used jquery, but you can accomplish this with regular js as well. Just that you'll have to do cross-browser compatibility.
Further to gmcalab's answer instead of getElementsByName you could use getElementById
var obj = document.getElementById('test2');
if(obj){
obj.focus();
}
or possibly:
var obj = document.getElementById('test2');
if(obj){
obj.select();
}
I've created a form that posts to a cfm file. When running a script onLoad that fills in the form values and tries to submit...The site takes me back to the login screen.
<script>
function f()
{
document.getElementById("email").value = "asdf#asdf.com";
document.getElementById("password").value = "asdf";
document.getElementById("form1").submit();
}
</script>
Please help!
update:
Here is the code....When the values for email and password are filled ini manually and the enter button is pressed it will direct me to the home page. However, when writing a script that submits the form onload, it redirects me to the login page.
<form action="https://www.asdf.com/dev/mem/login/login.cfm" method="post" id="caring" name="login" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<input name="page" type="hidden" id="page" value="https://www.asdf.com/dev/mem/home/home.cfm">
<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" class="title"></td>
<td class="label"><label for="email"></label></td>
<td class="element"><input name="email" id="email" value ="asdf#asdf.com" /></td>
<script>
//<td rowspan="2" class="action"><input type="submit" name="login" value="submit" alt="go" title="go" /></td>
</script>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label"><label for="username"></label></td>
<td class="element"><input name="password" value = "asdf" id="password" /></td>
</tr>
<td rowspan="2" class="action"><input type="submit" name="login" value="enter" alt="go" title="go" /></td>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
It's hard to tell without the HTML of the form itself, but my guess would be that the action="" attribute of your form is blank. If that attribute is blank, the browser will post the form back to the same page.
Since you're using coldfusion, check to see if there is code generating your action="" value, and look for bugs in it if so. It may help to view the rendered HTML source of the page.
Make sure you aren't using a <cflocation> (or some other redirect) on your destination cfm page that could be redirecting the user back to the form page.
(It would help if you would post your full code)
Make sure to set the action. Here's the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function f() {
document.getElementById("email").value="asdf#asdf.com";
document.getElementById("password").value="asdf";
document.getElementById('caring').action=document.getElementById("page").value;
document.getElementById('caring').submit();
}
</script>
And of course add the onload attribute to your body tag:
<body onload="f();">
There's a couple of other things to fix in your code. Check it with Total Validator. It's a great tool that will make you a better coder.
I can best describe this as follows:
I want this (entire table in editmode and save button in every row).
<table>
<tr>
<td>Id</td>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" value="Name" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="description" value="Description" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Save" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="id" value="2" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="name" value="Name2" /></td>
<td><input type="text" name="description" value="Description2" /></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Save" /></td>
</tr>
<!-- and more rows here ... -->
</table>
Where should I put the <form> tags?
It's worth mentioning that this is possible in HTML5, using the "form" attribute for input elements:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Id</td>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><form id="form1"><input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" /></form></td>
<td><input form="form1" type="text" name="name" value="Name" /></td>
<td><input form="form1" type="text" name="description" value="Description" /></td>
<td><input form="form1" type="submit" value="Save" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><form id="form2"><input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" /></form></td>
<td><input form="form2" type="text" name="name" value="Name" /></td>
<td><input form="form2" type="text" name="description" value="Description" /></td>
<td><input form="form2" type="submit" value="Save" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
While clean in its lack of JS and use of original elements, unfortunately this isn't working in IE10.
I had a similar question and this answer in question HTML: table of forms? solved it for me. (Not sure if it is XHTML, but it works in an HTML5 browser.)
You can use css to give table layout to other elements.
.table { display: table; }
.table>* { display: table-row; }
.table>*>* { display: table-cell; }
Then you use the following valid html.
<div class="table">
<form>
<div>snake<input type="hidden" name="cartitem" value="55"></div>
<div><input name="count" value="4" /></div>
</form>
</div>
You can't. Your only option is to divide this into multiple tables and put the form tag outside of it. You could end up nesting your tables, but this is not recommended:
<table>
<tr><td><form>
<table><tr><td>id</td><td>name</td>...</tr></table>
</form></td></tr>
</table>
I would remove the tables entirely and replace it with styled html elements like divs and spans.
I wrote the below over ten years ago, when the world was a different place. These days I know of many ways to crack this particular nut, but a quick and dirty solution that will validate is to do much the same but use CSS tables for layout, not a regular HTML table.
I'd say you can, although it doesn't validate and Firefox will re-arrange the code (so what you see in 'View generated source' when using Web Developer may well surprise). I'm no expert, but putting
<form action="someexecpage.php" method="post">
just ahead of the
<tr>
and then using
</tr></form>
at the end of the row certainly gives the functionality (tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE7-9). Working for me, even if the number of validation errors it produced was a new personal best/worst! No problems seen as a consequence, and I have a fairly heavily styled table. I guess you may have a dynamically produced table, as I do, which is why parsing the table rows is a bit non-obvious for us mortals. So basically, open the form at the beginning of the row and close it just after the end of the row.
The answer of #wmantly is basicly 'the same' as I would go for at this moment.
Don't use <form> tags at all and prevent 'inappropiate' tag nesting.
Use javascript (in this case jQuery) to do the posting of the data, mostly you will do it with javascript, because only one row had to be updated and feedback must be given without refreshing the whole page (if refreshing the whole page, it's no use to go through all these trobules to only post a single row).
I attach a click handler to a 'update' anchor at each row, that will trigger the collection and 'submit' of the fields on the same row. With an optional data-action attribute on the anchor tag the target url of the POST can be specified.
Example html
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="id" value="row1"/><input name="textfield" type="text" value="input1" /></td>
<td><select name="selectfield">
<option selected value="select1-option1">select1-option1</option>
<option value="select1-option2">select1-option2</option>
<option value="select1-option3">select1-option3</option>
</select></td>
<td><a class="submit" href="#" data-action="/exampleurl">Update</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="id" value="row2"/><input name="textfield" type="text" value="input2" /></td>
<td><select name="selectfield">
<option selected value="select2-option1">select2-option1</option>
<option value="select2-option2">select2-option2</option>
<option value="select2-option3">select2-option3</option>
</select></td>
<td><a class="submit" href="#" data-action="/different-url">Update</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" name="id" value="row3"/><input name="textfield" type="text" value="input3" /></td>
<td><select name="selectfield">
<option selected value="select3-option1">select3-option1</option>
<option value="select3-option2">select3-option2</option>
<option value="select3-option3">select3-option3</option>
</select></td>
<td><a class="submit" href="#">Update</a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Example script
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".submit").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var url = ($(this).data("action") === "undefined" ? "/" : $(this).data("action"));
var row = $(this).parents("tr").first();
var data = row.find("input, select, radio").serialize();
$.post(url, data, function(result){ console.log(result); });
});
});
A JSFIddle
You just have to put the <form ... > tag before the <table> tag and the </form> at the end.
Hopte it helps.
In fact I have the problem with a form on each row of a table, with javascript (actually jquery) :
like Lothre1 said, "some browsers in the process of rendering will close form tag right after the declaration leaving inputs outside of the element"
which makes my input fields OUTSIDE the form, therefore I can't access the children of my form through the DOM with JAVASCRIPT..
typically, the following JQUERY code won't work :
$('#id_form :input').each(function(){/*action*/});
// this is supposed to select all inputS
// within the form that has an id ='id_form'
BUT the above exemple doesn't work with the rendered HTML :
<table>
<form id="id_form"></form>
<tr id="tr_id">
<td><input type="text"/></td>
<td><input type="submit"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm still looking for a clean solution (though using the TR 'id' parameter to walk the DOM would fix this specific problem)
dirty solution would be (for jquery):
$('#tr_id :input').each(function(){/*action*/});
// this will select all the inputS
// fields within the TR with the id='tr_id'
the above exemple will work, but it's not really "clean", because it refers to the TR instead of the FORM, AND it requires AJAX ...
EDIT : complete process with jquery/ajax would be :
//init data string
// the dummy init value (1=1)is just here
// to avoid dealing with trailing &
// and should not be implemented
// (though it works)
var data_str = '1=1';
// for each input in the TR
$('#tr_id :input').each(function(){
//retrieve field name and value from the DOM
var field = $(this).attr('name');
var value = $(this).val();
//iterate the string to pass the datas
// so in the end it will render s/g like
// "1=1&field1_name=value1&field2_name=value2"...
data_str += '&' + field + '=' + value;
});
//Sendind fields datawith ajax
// to be treated
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: "target_for_the_form_treatment",
data:data_string,
success:function(msg){
/*actions on success of the request*/
});
});
this way, the "target_for_the_form_treatment" should receive POST data as if a form was sent to him (appart from the post[1] = 1, but to implement this solution i would recommand dealing with the trailing '&' of the data_str instead).
still I don't like this solution, but I'm forced to use TABLE structure because of the dataTables jquery plugin...
Im late to the party, but this worked great for me and the code should explain itself;
<script type="text/javascript">
function formAJAX(btn){
var $form = $(btn).closest('[action]');
var str = $form.find('[name]').serialize();
$.post($form.attr('action'), str, function(data){
//do stuff
});
}
<script>
HTML:
<tr action="scriptURL.php">
<td>
Field 1:<input type="text" name="field1"/>
</td>
<td>
Field 2:<input type="text" name="field2" />
</td>
<td><button type="button" onclick="formAJAX(this)">Update</button></td>
</tr>
If you try to add a form warping a tr element like this
<table>
<form>
<tr>
<td><input type="text"/></td>
<td><input type="submit"/></td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>
some browsers in the process of rendering will close form tag right after the declaration leaving inputs outside of the element
something like this
<table>
<form></form>
<tr>
<td><input type="text"/></td>
<td><input type="submit"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
This issue is still valid for warping multiple table cells
As stereoscott said above, nesting tables are a possible solution which is not recommended.
Avoid using tables.
