The Submit button on this form does nothing unless I remove style="display:none" from the template=row div. Why??
(The name of each form control is populated dynamically by javascript, however, to simplify troubleshooting, I ran the form without the javascript and the problem boils down to whether or not that display tag is there).
This is what Chrome console says:
bundleAn invalid form control with name='' is not focusable.
bundleAn invalid form control with name='label' is not focusable.
bundleAn invalid form control with name='unique' is not focusable
HTML:
<form method="POST" action="/add/bundle">
<p>
<input type="text" name="singular" placeholder="Singular Name" required>
<input type="text" name="plural" placeholder="Plural Name" required>
</p>
<h4>Asset Fields</h4>
<div class="template-view" id="template_row" style="display:none">
<input type="text" data-keyname="name" placeholder="Field Name">
<input type="text" data-keyname="hint" placeholder="Hint">
<select data-keyname="fieldtype" required>
<option value="">Field Type...</option>
</select>
<input type="checkbox" data-keyname="required" value="true"> Required
<input type="checkbox" data-keyname="search" value="true"> Searchable
<input type="checkbox" data-keyname="readonly" value="true"> ReadOnly
<input type="checkbox" data-keyname="autocomplete" value="true"> AutoComplete
<input type="radio" data-keyname="label" value="label" name="label" required> Label
<input type="radio" data-keyname="unique" value="unique" name="unique" required> Unique
<button class="add" type="button">+</button>
<button class="remove" type="button">-</button>
</div>
<div id="target_list"></div>
<p><input type="submit" name="form.submitted" value="Submit" autofocus></p>
</form>
The cause seems to be HTML 5 constraint validation - it's the require attribute. Chrome has started supporting this with it's recent versions.
Apparently it seems like this is a backward compatibility issue, but you can fix it with setting the formnovalidate attribute for your submit button.
I assume that this is actually a security feature that prevents submitting supposed user data by submitting manipulated, hidden content, this quote points in that direction:
If one of the controls is not being rendered (e.g. it has the hidden attribute set) then user agents may report a script error.
Your inputs are of type text, so their purpose is to let users enter data, submitting their content while hidden is something that a user probably wouldn't want.
If you still want to submit hidden inputs while using client validation, I would suggest using <input type="hidden"> instead - I could imagine that there is no error on validation there because they are intended to be invisible.
I made a JSFiddle to explore your problem here, and I managed to fix it by adding checked to your radiobutton inputs like so: <input type="radio" data-keyname="label" value="label" name="label" required checked>. In your code above, the radio buttons are not checked, but since they are marked as required the form is failing validation and Chrome refuses to submit the form.

I am building a Bootstrap form and the email and password form elements show with pre-populated data from some other or some earlier form login on a different site. The Chrome browser is auto-populating the form elements.
Is there an HTML attribute of method in Bootstrap to force these form elements to null or empty on page load?
2015-10-29 -- here's the markup:
<form autocomplete="off" method="post" role="form">
<div class="form-group">
<input name="formSubmitted" type="hidden" value="1">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="username">Username</label>
<input autocomplete="off" autofocus="autofocus" class="form-control" id="username" name="username" required type="text">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input autocomplete="off" class="form-control" id="password" name="password" required type="password">
</div>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
Use autocomplete="new-password"
Works a charm!
Use the autocomplete="off" attribute on the <form> or <input>.
from MDN:
autocomplete
This attribute indicates whether the value of the control can be
automatically completed by the browser.
off The user must explicitly enter a value into this field for every use, or the document provides its own auto-completion method;
the browser does not automatically complete the entry.
on The browser is allowed to automatically complete the value based on values that the user has entered during previous uses...
Also from MDN, see: How to Turn Off Form Autocompletion
Also see:
Chrome Browser Ignoring AutoComplete=Off
"AutoComplete=Off" not working on Google Chrome Browser
autocomplete ='off' is not working when the input type is password and make the input field above it to enable autocomplete
I'm working on making client side validation for inputs.
I had had been using PHP to do it all.
Needless to say things got cluttered very quickly.
So I looked in to JS and HTML5 and want to move in to that system for validation.
The messages I want to show are like this:
I know that these are done with the the <input type="email"> tag.
After some help, I was pointed to this page html5rocks.
However I cant seem to get anything to popup.
I copied code straight from there site and nothing.
<input id="foo" type="number" max="2" value="1" />
<input id="bar" type="number" max="2" value="3" />
<script>
document.getElementById('foo').validity.rangeOverflow; //false
document.getElementById('bar').validity.rangeOverflow; //true
</script>
What am I missing to make the notification appear?
That popup is a new implementation in HTML5. Just create an input field like this:
<input type="email">
The popup appears automatically when the form is submitted if the input isn't an email-address.
More about the new input fields in HTML5 is at W3Schools.
Form must be submitted before validation kicks in.
So you have to add a button with the type of submit so like so:
<input type="submit" value="blah">
And then you have to enclose all the fields/inputs in a <form> and </form> tag.
here is the working code:
<form>
<input id="foo" type="number" max="2" value="1" />
<input id="bar" type="number" max="2" value="3" />
<input type="submit" value="blah">
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('foo').validity.rangeOverflow; //false
document.getElementById('bar').validity.rangeOverflow; //true
</script>
As the title states, I'm trying to incorporate many searches into one search bar. More specifically, Google and Amazon. I have setup a radio option to set which site to search when one is selected.
This is the code I currently have:
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<div align="center" style="font-size:75%">
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google or Amazon Search" /></br>
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" />The Web
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="yoursite.com" checked />This Site
</div>
</form>
I have this form for Amazon, but I'm just unsure how to code it into the one search bar.
<form action="http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss" method="get" target="_blank">
<input type="text" id="twotabsearchtextbox" name="field-keywords">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="nav-submit-input">
</form>
Use JavaScript to change the actual form action in page's DOM (and other parameters, if needed), depending on the user selection (use onclick event on radio to montior for change for example). Simple as that. You won't be able to do that in pure HTML without using some kind of proxy server to redirect the requests and return the results appropriately.
document.your-form.action = (google_selected) ? "http://www.google.com/search" : "http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss";
etc.
On form submission, how could you possibly mark a checkbox/radiobutton as required?
Source of inspiration: Pekka's answer to a question
Required checkboxes are not unusual. Practically every registration form uses some form of the "I have read and accept the User Agreement" checkbox.
If you have Opera handy try out the code below. The form won't submit unless the checkbox is checked.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>html5</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>html5 test</h1>
<form action="/">
<input type="checkbox" required="required" id="cb" name="cb">
<label for="cb">required checkbox</label>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
For checkboxes, the best way is probably to pre-select it and set it to disabled. Just kidding.
To ensure one radio button in a group has been selected, either start with a default choice or validate using javascript. There are no HTML-ways to do that because every possible selection is valid.
In html5 there is a required attribute for checkboxes.
They are somehow weird, so let me quote something to explain how they work.
For checkboxes, the required attribute shall only be satisfied when one or more of the checkboxes with that name in that form are checked.
For radio buttons, the required attribute shall only be satisfied when exactly one of the radio buttons in that radio group is checked.
Of course you always have to validate server side because the client can always send you whatever he desires. Just use these methods for better user experience.
I tested required attribute for Radio Buttons today on Firefox 17.0.1 on XP SP2.
It seems to comply with the specification of required attribute for radio buttons/groups. As Firefox prompts "Please select one of these options." for both of the code snippets below:
Either you set required attribute for each of the radio buttons
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male" required="required" />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="female" required="required" />
Or Any One of the Radio elements
<input type="radio" name="color" value="blue" />
<input type="radio" name="color" value="red" required="required" />
<input type="radio" name="color" value="green" />
Any comments and updates are welcome.
I just tried it on a radio button in Firefox 4. Adding required to one radio input, then submitting before selecting one, triggers a "Please select one of these options" tooltip.
E.g. this works:
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="m" required />
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="f" />
I have a form on a page that is shown via https:// as follows:
<form id="memberslogin_form" name="memberslogin_form">
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<div>
<label for="membershipId">Membership number</label>
<input type="text" class="field" name="membershipId" id="membershipId""/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="memberPassword">Password</label>
<input size="18" type="password" class="field" maxlength="50" name="memberPassword" id="memberPassword" />
</div>
<div id="button_login">
<input type="button" value="Login" class="button" id="signin" name="signin"/>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
The form is uniquely named, as are the inputs.
However, successful logins do not cause the "membershipId" entries to be listed in the input recent entries \ history. This occurs in both FF3.6 and IE6+.
I believe the ability to store field history is browser-based via it's settings, but I cannot retain the input history over https:// forms?
Is this a typo in here only, or in actual page:
<input type="text" class="field" name="membershipId" id="membershipId""/>
See the extra ".
I don't know much about the mechanism of saving form value in FF, but all this time, my form input is saved even if it in https site.
Maybe you can try lastpass that can save a form input for later usage as well as the password securely.
