Is it possible to generate a form in html that allows the text that's input to be sent to the address bar?
Sure is, you just make sure the forms METHOD is set to GET:
<form id="myForm" method="GET">
//Form Stuff
</form>
Take a look here for more information
Without any testing and going off the top of my head, this should do the trick (messily):
<form onsubmit="window.location = document.getElementById('addressfield').value; return false;">
<input type="text" id="addressfield" />
</form>

I am using a form id= contact-form with a form loader. I have tried getting my email to submit with form action and html href however nothing has working this is what I am currently trying to get to work. any suggestions?
<form method="post" action="mailto:m_galvin1005#email.campbell.edu" >
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" />
</form>
I placed this form method inside of a form id. Not sure if thats where I am getting held up at
Unfortunately, browsers don't actually know how to send emails. The web browser only really knows how to render HTML, JS and CSS code into a visual experience.
PHP is a language that runs server-side, which you can use to tell a web server to send an email to whatever address you input.
Here's a good article on PHP Emailing: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/php/send-email/
It is important to note that this code REQUIRES a web-space or server to compile.
It will be a very basic email form, having said this I think you are missingpost argument in your form tag. The following should work
<form action="mailto:m_galvin1005#email.campbell.edu" method="post" enctype="text/plain" >
Name:<input type="text" name="Name">
Email:<input type="text" name="Email">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
I am only starting to learn to code with HTML, so if this question seems trivial or simple, I apologise in advance.
Suppose I have a form, like
<form><input type="url" name="url"><input type="submit" value="Go"></form>
How do I make the submit button go to the url that the user types in?
You cannot do that using pure HTML. The form will always post/get to the URL which the action attribute of the form points to.
However, with some javascript you can do this.
This should work:
<form id="form" method="get">
<input type="url" name="url" onchange="document.getElementById('form').action = this.value;">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
What this does is it uses the onchange event of the url input box so everytime that changes, the action of the form is updated.
In addition to the sending the user to the url when they hit submit, are you trying to save the url that is typed in?
If so you will need more than HTML to accomplish this, probably php + sql would be the easiest route to save it.
However, if all you're trying to do is let a user go to the url they are typing in, you could accomplish this through javascript or jquery.
For example in your html:
<form>
<input id="url" type="url" name="url">
<input type="button" value="Go" />
</form>
Then add this jquery:
$('input[type=button]').click( function() {
var url = $('#url').text();
$(location).attr('href', url)
});
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/p6zxg25v/2/
I want a html button with parameter functionality.
new/?sorting=desc is the url that it should link to. But when I try, the parameter is not passed. How should it be done? I tried both the methods below but none worked.
<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="./?sorting=desc">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Äldst först">
</FORM>
I want buttons that behave like these links:
Äldst först
Nyast först
If you want something to act as a link, then you should use a link.
That said:
When you submit a GET form, the query string is removed from the action and a new one is generated from the data in the form.
You need to store the data in hidden inputs.
<form action="/social/tracking/new/">
<input type="hidden"
name="sorting"
value="desc">
<input type="submit"
value="Nyast först">
</form>
<form action="/social/tracking/new/">
<input type="hidden"
name="sorting"
value="asc">
<input type="submit"
value="Sort the other way">
</form>
If you are using jQuery, you can use the code below.
This will fill a hidden input with the correct value when you click on one of the submit buttons.
<form method="get" action="./">
<input type="hidden" name="sorting" id="sorting" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Äldst först" id="sort_desc" />
<input type="submit" value="Nyast först" id="sort_asc" />
</form>
<script>
$('#sort_desc').click(function(){
$('#sorting').val('desc');
});
$('#sort_asc').click(function(){
$('#sorting').val('asc');
});
</script>
I think its not possible. A form is used to send data (mostly) via POST or GET. Your goal is to open a specific URL. I would create a standard and would style it like a button. Whats the reason you want to use a button?
I am working on a Django project, in which a template login.html has code like -
<form name="input" action="welcome.html" method="get">
--------------SOME FORM ELEMENTS-----------------
<input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>
When I click on Login, I want URL to be -
http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome.html
or
http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome.html?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
but url comes out to be
http://127.0.0.1:8000/login.html/welcome.html?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(that is, "action" from form gets appended to the URL instead of getting appended to the domain) where "xxxxxxxx" stands for query submitted through form.
How can I achieve this?
<form name="input" action="/welcome.html" method="get">
You should set the action to be "/welcome.html".
thats really wired, try making your action="/welcome.html"
I have a simple form:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" name="search" value="search">
</form>
When submitting the url becomes `/search?q=Loremipsum&search=search
I really don't want that last bit, this seems pretty common problem and think it could be solved without js, but I realized that even google.com has this problem when you click on the search button. (maybe they don't care much about ugly urls?)
search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Loremipsum&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&..
Is there a way to prevent the value of the submit button to be excluded without javascript?
I see in Stack overflow the search is ?q= but they don't have a submit button.
You can omit name attribute in the final input like this:
<form action="/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q" value="">
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>
Should do the trick. Keeping value attribute allows you to manipulate what text is displayed on the button.
For the record, you can also omit the submit button if you like, and the form will submit when you press return after typing your search term. (This is how the Stack Overflow search box works).
