While using IE9, every link (when clicked) the search form is being submitted. Every link seems as if it is redirecting to the action value of the search form.
There is no java script attached to the form element.
<form action="/my-search-url" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="search" />
<input type="text" value="" />
</form>
The issue was with the order of the form elements. Apparently the original developer decided to place the submit button before any input elements. By putting the submit input last (or removing it) fixed this issue.
<form action="/my-search-url" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="search" />
</form>

I recently started HTML and made my first Website. I made bunch of lines of codes, and the last line is: <input type="submit" name="register" value="Register" action="Registered.html">. I wanted to this submit button named as "Register" to get me to the my "Registered.html" file but something isn't right. The button shows up, and it's valued as "Register" but `action="Registered.html" doesn't work. I hope you understand me, if you can, fix this for me.
The form element takes the action attribute, not the input:
<form action="Registered.html">
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Register">
</form>
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
notice the action is at the form..

In general form elements are used to send data to a server. It wraps around the elements which specifies the data, input or button elements, for instance. If you add a name and a value attribute to your input and button elements, you will send this name-value-pair to your server.
If you don’t need to send any (additional) data to your server, just use anchor elements:
Register
<form>
<input type="submit" formaction="Registered.html" value="Register">
</form>
The formaction attribute of the input tag is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
I have made this:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <input type="submit"><br>
Show: <input type="submit">
</form>
Is there any way I can pass a parameter when I press a different button? When I click now it sends me to links.php?link= which is good, but I want to do so that if I click one of the buttons, it sends me to links.php?link=&up=no.
I think I found a solution but it uses javascript, I want to do it with HTML only.
If you're looking to add a parameter based on what submit button was pressed, you can add a name to each of them:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <input type="submit" name="direct"><br>
Show: <input type="submit" name="show">
</form>
Pressing the direct submit button will give:
?link=&direct=...
Pressing the show button will give:
?link=&show=...
edit
In the event that you want to pass a specific value for each button (which isn't tied to it's text like a submit input is), use the button tag instead of the input tag and pass it explicitly:
<form action="links.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="link" value="" style="height:25px;length:0px;font-size:8pt;"><br>
Direct: <button name="direct" value="foo">Submit</button><br>
Show: <button name="name" value="bar">Submit</button>
</form>
which would result in: ?link=&direct=foo and ?link=&show=bar
I'm working with html and jsp, and I'm trying to do a custom search that performs the same action as that of a catalog search that is on another page. I have two pages:
There is a page (outside my app, so I can't modify at all) that is a catalog search:
<form name="formulario" id="formulario" method="post" action="Main">
<input tabindex="116" size="55" id="txtSimpleSearch" name="txtSimpleSearch">
<input value="Search" type="submit" name="btnSearch" tabindex="102">
</form>
I have to create a page in my app that works as a custom search in that catalog seach. So I created this form:
<form method="post" rel="external" action="http://example.com/pages/SimpleSearch" target="_blank">
<fieldset>
<label for="txt"><span class="label">Text:</span>
<input name="txtSimpleSearch" id="txt" type="text"></label>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input class="boton" value="Search" type="submit">
</div>
</form>
The action of the second form (my page) goes to the catalog search, with the value of txt input, but it isn't do the search on the first page (the catalog search page not execute the submit of the form formulario).
Maybe I could get the form of the catalog search page and do the submit using Javascript? Or isn't possible?
Thanks.
You'll have to use the same name attributes for your input, so the page will be able to get the search value.
<form method="post" rel="external" action="http://example.com/pages/SimpleSearch" target="_blank">
<fieldset>
<label for="txt"><span class="label">Text:</span>
<input name="txtSimpleSearch" id="txt" type="text"></label>
</fieldset>
<div>
<input class="boton" value="Search" type="submit" name="btnSearch">
</div>
</form>
change input type='submit' to type='button' , add attribute to the input onclick='actionSubmitForm1()' then use javascript submit
document.forms["myform"].submit();
then submit you'rs second form
document.forms["myform2"].submit();
I am writing a mobile app in html5/css/js.
On the first page index.html I made a form with a submit button that point to result.html (with formaction="result.html").
But when I open index.html in Chrome just to debug the app, the submit button doesn't bring the user to result.html, but stays on index.html.
What's wrong?
Thanks
<form name="userdata" method="get">
<input type="number" step="any" class="hiddenbutton" name="userVolume" value="" >
<button type="submit" id="submitbutton" name="issubmitted" value="no" class="submitbutton" formmethod="get" formaction="result.html">Submit</button>
</form>
It doesn't work neither with:
<form name="userdata" method="get" action="result.html">
<input type="number" step="any" class="hiddenbutton" name="userVolume" value="" >
<button type="submit" id="submitbutton" name="issubmitted" value="no" class="submitbutton">Submit</button>
</form>
EDIT: I just discovered that there is no problem when I use firefox instead of Chromium (Ubuntu). Any hint on what's happening?
I think you need to explicitly state that as an attribute, i.e. an 'action' attribute in 'form'.
<form name="userdata" method="get" action="result.html">
<input type="number" step="any" class="hiddenbutton" name="userVolume" value="" >
<button type="submit" id="submitbutton" name="issubmitted" value="no" class="submitbutton" formmethod="get" formaction="result.html">Submit</button>
</form>
I removed all the action and formaction attributes to the form and submit button, and I decided to code my page as an SPA (single page app) so I move to next page using jquery:
$.mobile.changePage($('#result-page'));
For example, would like 5 checks boxes to have their own submit button and the other 5 to have their own submit. Should be independednt of each other but they are not grouped together in the html page.
Do I nest the other form? Do I put them under the same name and if so how do I distinct the submit? Submit seems to submit the form name element, not the elements names within the form. (Using HTML and JS)
Thanks.
Your clarification doesn't make too much sense from a user standpoint. Perhaps you want something like this:
<form action="/cgi-bin/Lib.exe" method="post" name="checks" id="Form1">
<input type="checkbox" name="user" value="'$NAME'" id="Checkbox1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="user" value="'$NAME'" id="Checkbox2" />
<input type="submit" value="DELETE" id="Submit1" name="Submit1" />
</form>
<form action="/cgi-bin/Lib.exe" method="post" name="checks" id="Form2">
<input type="checkbox" name="guest" value="'$NAME'" id="Checkbox1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="guest" value="'$NAME'" id="Checkbox2" />
<input type="submit" value="DELETE" id="Submit2" name="Submit2" />
</form>
I'd use the button element. Try this link: http://particletree.com/features/rediscovering-the-button-element/
Basically you use them as your submits. Firefox correctly sends the value attribute but IE sends the innerHTML. But they all come across as name=value/innerHTML.
So for example, using PHP, you could use
if (isset($_POST['nameOfButtonElement'])) {
echo 'user clicked this button';
}
EDIT: IE6 (surprise surprise) doesn't handle this correctly at all. See this question: IE 6 and the multiple button elements all sending their name & values
Maybe something like that (this way you can control it):
function ava_aken_hp()
{
// I use blank form with hidden fields to populate it with values from POST.
document.blank.action="https://www.mypage.com";
document.blank.elements["CHECK"].value=....;
...
document.blank.submit();
}
// In your form:
<input type="submit" value="Submit1" onclick="ava_aken_hp();">
