I have a search form in my web application that throws an Apache 400 Bad Request error when you search using an apostrophe (smart quote, i.e. ’ not '). This happens when someone copy and pastes from Microsoft Word (which automatically converts tick marks to smart quotes).
The form causes a GET request which puts the search string in the URL. Even when I encode the string, it causes this error. What should I do to get this to work?
<script type="text/javascript">
function zend_submit_main() {
var query = $('#search_field').val();
if(query != '') {
var search_field = '/query/' + escape(query);
var url = '/search/results' + search_field + '/active-tab/contacts';
window.location = url;
}
return false;
}
</script>
<form id="search_form" method="GET" onsubmit="zend_submit_main(); return false;">
<input type="text" value="search by contact name" onFocus="if (this.value=='search by contact name') { this.value=''; }" onBlur="if (this.value=='') { this.value='search by contact name'; }" name="search_field" id="search_field" style="width:160px;" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
Use encodeURIComponent instead of escape:
var search_field = '/query/' + encodeURIComponent(query);
escape is not a standard function and does not encode the value according to the Percent-encoding as specified by RFC 3986. ’ for example is encoded as "%u2019.

I'm testing out Yodlee. I'm able to get FastLink working via POSTing a FORM element in my Chrome browser. I believe there is some type of redirect happening after the POST that tells Chrome to go to another URL address and that page loads. I want to do the POST with Java code and capture the redirect URL.
I've tried with the below RestTemplate code but the request hangs and the connection is eventually killed.
MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, String>();
map.add("rsession", getUserAuthToken());
map.add("token", fastLinkAccess.getAccessToken());
map.add("app", "10003600");
map.add("redirectReq", "true");
URI uri = template.postForLocation("https://node.developer.yodlee.com/authenticate/restserver/", map, String.class);
How can I go about this?
It will be possible to launch Fastlink by posting HTML content to the action(node) URL only.
As you are using java, you can use the following sample code to post a HTML using java-
String formHtmlContent = "<div class='center processText'>Processing...</div>"
+ "<div>"
+ "<form action='${NODE_URL}' method='post' id='rsessionPost'>"
+ " RSession : <input type='text' name='rsession' placeholder='rsession' value='${RSESSION}' id='rsession'/><br/>"
+ " FinappId : <input type='text' name='app' placeholder='FinappId' value='${FINAPP_ID}' id='finappId'/><br/>"
+ " Redirect : <input type='text' name='redirectReq' placeholder='true/false' value='true'/><br/>"
+ " Token : <input type='text' name='token' placeholder='token' value='${TOKEN}' id='token'/><br/>"
+ " Extra Params : <input type='text' name='extraParams' placeholder='Extra Params' value='${EXTRA_PARAMS}' id='extraParams'/><br/>"
+ "</form></div><script>document.getElementById('rsessionPost').submit();</script>";
So I have been sitting here racking my brain for a few hours and just cannot seem to find what I have wrong here. I am trying to get my form to send the information that the user inputs to my email. When I click send nothing happens... Anything would help! Thanks!
Here is the code I have atm:
Email me!
<div class="formCenter">
<form action="MAILTO:myemail#yahoo.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstName"><br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastName"><br>
Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="email"><br>
Comments:<br>
<textarea name="commentBox" rows="6" cols="40"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>
</div>
Okay so you have to send the Action to a page like Email.PHP (or ASP.net ect) which will process your POST variables.
Example:
<?php
$firstame = $_POST['firstName'];
?>
You then have to use Mail(), which will work on most servers but sometimes it won't so you can use a tool like PHPMailer which is an object orientated tool.
As you are providing the link as MAILTO, it opens up your local mail client to send an email with the POST variables listed, which is very unprofessional at best. You are better off having a link that goes to MAILTO for the time being, perhaps with a hidden value like or something like that, so when they open the client it automatically generates an email that they can just click. With that being said, you would keep your form layout as it is, but just swap out variables so they don't appear.
The reason you didn't see anything when you clicked Send is because even though your TYPE is a submit, you sometimes need the Value and/or Name to be Submit. Some browsers and servers will treat it differently, even frameworks like Bootsrap. If you change your name and value to Submit then change one back to Send to see what works for you, you can keep it in the Send format, given that it works.
I hope this helps.
you can try this one:
<?php
if($_POST["message"]) {
mail("your#email.address", "Form to email message", $_POST["message"], "From: an#email.address");
}
?>
see this page http://htmldog.com/techniques/formtoemail/
The form itself is not able to send the email. What the code does is prompts you to select email client software such as Outlook.
Did you check whether your email client software work properly? A reboot of machine is also a mean of troubleshooting.

This is the correct way to send a email. You can also use a php or C# code for sending a email. I have used vb.net code(webmethod) for sending email.
I want to display an error message when the login and the password are wrong, I tried this attempt but it didnt't work, thanks.
index.html
<body>
<form action="Serv">
<input type="text" name="log">
<input type="password" name="pwd">
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>
</body>
Serv.java
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String u =request.getParameter("log");
String p =request.getParameter("pwd");
if(u != "admin" && p!= "admin"){
String someMessage = "Error !";
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/index.html").forward(request, response);
out.println("<html><head>");
out.println("<script type=\"text/javascript");
out.println("alert("+ someMessage +");</script>");
out.println("</head><body></body></html>");
}
Use single quotes inside when it is possible, try this:
String someMessage = "Error !";
out.println("<script type='text/javascript'>");
out.println("alert(" + "'" + someMessage + "'" + ");</script>");
out.println("</head><body></body></html>");
It looks like you are not closing the quote or script tag, add the closing quote/angle bracket:
out.println("<script type=\"text/javascript\">");
I am trying to use the JQuery Ui function "Verfiy();" to verify that the name, age, country and date fields have been filled before allowing the form to submit.
The verify function should be called when the user hits 'submit', however when I use the following code the webpage is directed to the 'thankyou' page whether the fields have been completed or not. It does not show an error message.
<head>

Here you go, just a little tweak in your markup.
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="return verify()"/></div>
I am playing with Angular and writing a Regex tester.
Problem is leading whitespace is trimmed when I enter data. See example jsfiddle here:
So when the page loads I have the RegEx "^\d+$".test(" 123 ") which results in "No Match", But if you enter an extra leading or trailing space in the Candidate box:
The leading and trailing spaces are removed from my variable
The result changes "Match"
Here is my HTML:
<div id='ng:app' class='ng-app: myApp' ng-app='myApp'>
<div ng-controller="Controller">{{addTodo2()}}
<form novalidate class="simple-form">Pattern:
<input type="text" ng-model="pattern" />Candidate:
<input type="text" ng-model="candidate" />
<br />.{{candidate}}.
<br>.{{candidate2}}.</form>
</div>
</div>
And here is the associated JavaScript:
function Controller($scope) {
$scope.pattern = "^\\d+$";
$scope.candidate = " 123 ";
$scope.candidate2 = " 123 ";
$scope.addTodo2 = function () {
var str = "Javascript is an interesting scripting language";
var re = new RegExp($scope.pattern, "g");
var result = re.test($scope.candidate);
if (result) {
return "Match22";
} else {
return "No Match22";
};
};
}
var myapp = angular.module('myApp', []);
Updated the fiddle, added ng-trim="false" to the input tags
http://jsfiddle.net/T2zuV/12/
<div id='ng:app' class='ng-app: myApp' ng-app='myApp'>
<div ng-controller="Controller">{{addTodo2()}}
<form novalidate class="simple-form">Pattern:
<input type="text" ng-model="pattern" ng-trim="false"/>Candidate:
<input type="text" ng-model="candidate" ng-trim="false"/>
<br />.{{candidate}}.
<br>.{{candidate2}}.</form>
</div>
</div>
