I'm new to html and am trying to implement a search function. I've created an input box and search buttons but I have no idea what the form page should look like. Please Help. Thank you!
Here's the code:
"<form name=MB method=\"POST\" action=\"formpage-->not sure what this page should look like">\n "
"<p align=MIDDLE>Search for Tokens: " + //Search Description
"<input name=\"term\" type=\"text\" onkeypress=\"if(event.keyCode==13) " +
"document.MB.exact.click();\" size=30> </p> \n" + //Search Box
"\n<FONT FACE=\"Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,lucida sans,san-serif\"><STRONG>" + //search buttons
"<input name=\"exact\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Find Exact\"" +
"\n<input name=\"AND\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Find All Tokens\">" +
"\n<input name=\"OR\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Find Any Tokens\">" +
"\n</STRONG></FONT></TD>\n</TR>\n</TABLE>\n</form>\n"
PS the reaszon it's all in quotes is because its a java program that generates the htmlenter code here
This is a pretty vague question but you probably want something like:
<form action="URL_FOR_SEARCH_HERE" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="query"/><br />
<input type="submit" value="Search"/>
</form>
(URL_FOR_SEARCH_HERE would be replaced by something like "/search.php", depending on what server-side technology you're using to do the actual search processing.)
It depends what you are searching for as well. If you are searching through a database then your form should point to some code that executes a sql search function.

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>";
While this info doesn't help resolve my issue, I'll let it be known I'm creating automation tests in Python using Selenium WebDriver.
I have an issue where I want to verify the existence of two identical text elements that appear to have identical XPATH addresses. As you can see from the XPATH of the web page below...
<div class="pagebox">
<h2>Database</h2>
Restrict access to group: <input id="database_group" name="database_group" value="postgres" type="text">
<br></br>
<h2>Sessions</h2>
User sessions time out after
<input id="session_timeout" name="session_timeout" maxlength="5" value="1200" type="text">
minutes.
<br></br>
<h2>HMI</h2>
<input id="use_large_header_text" name="use_large_header_text" type="checkbox">
Use large text in the header bar and link bar on HMI
<br></br>
<input id="display_tagging_button" name="display_tagging_button" checked="true" type="checkbox">
Display tagging button and information in HMI control dialog
<br></br>
<br></br>
<h2>Inactive Redirect</h2>
Auto redirect after user is inactive for
<input id="inactive_time" name="inactive_time" maxlength="4" placeholder="Min: 0 (Default) Max: 1440" size="25" value="0" type="text"></input>
minutes.
<span id="ieInactTime" style="font-style: italic"> Min: 0 (Default) Max: 1440</span>
<br></br>
Redirect Address:
<input id="inactive_page" name="inactive_page" placeholder="File Path e.g. /Home/" size="30" value="" type="text"><span id="ieInactPage" style="font-style: italic"> File Path e.g. /Home/</span>
<br></br>
...the phrase "minutes." shows up twice [line 8 and line 21], but it doesn't show up in a way where I can use the element's XPATH to locate which element I want to verify the existence of as I normally would using methods you'd find here, here, or here. Both text elements appear to have the same exact XPATH address:
//div[#class='pagebox']
I tried to distinguish between the two text elements using brackets to signify which text elements I'd like to verify...
e.g. //div[#class='pagebox']/[1] & //div[#class='pagebox']/[2]
...but that didn't work.
The closest I could find to distinguishing between the two of these text elements was to use the 'text()' feature of XPATH.
//div[#class='pagebox']/text()[contains(.,'minutes')][1]
//div[#class='pagebox']/text()[contains(.,'minutes')][2]
Is there any way to verify these two text elements using XPATH?
You can use JavaScriptExecutor to find text node inside the element div. See C# code below:
IWebElement e = driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("pagebox"));
string script = "var nodes = arguments[0].childNodes;" +
"var text = [];" +
"var count=0;" +
"for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++) {" +
" if ((nodes[i].nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE) && (nodes[i].textContent.trim()=='minutes.')) {" +
" text[count]= nodes[i].textContent.trim();" +
" count++;" +
" }" +
"}" +
"return text;";
Object obj = ((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript(script,e);
To distinguish between the two different text elements "minutes.", you need the following XPATH:
For the 1st "minutes.": //div[#class='pagebox'][text()[contains(.,'minutes')][1]]
For the 2nd "minutes.": //div[#class='pagebox'][text()[contains(.,'minutes')][2]]
So, from what I have been learning for these past few weeks I believe I have sufficient knowledge on how to perform PHP, and SQL related queries to create a good and dynamic website that could support something like a forum. I've not been able to do that yet, and am having quite a bit of trouble with it as well. So far, I've made a PHP file, that was simply to see if I could use PHP well. It did not work out, and I've been getting plenty of errors, and I've been unable to fix them, whatsoever. And so, I'd like to come here to ask, if anyone out there could possibly analyze my code that I've written, and see what is wrong with it, if possible. Along with that, I'd like to know what would be the "Proper" way of
A. Connecting to SQL
B. Selecting Data
C. Displaying/Utilizing Data
And thank you, for reading and/or possibly replying to this.
Here, is the code I've written but have been unable to work.
<?php
include 'header.php';
include 'connect.php';
?>
<body>
<form>
Input First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="FN">
<br>
Input Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="LN">
<br>
Input Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="Email">
<br>
<input type="submit" method="post">
<?php
if (isset($_POST['FN'], $_POST['LN'], $_POST['Email']))
$sql = 'INSERT INTO `info` ("USERID", "FN", "LN", "Email") VALUES (\'$_POST[FN]\', '$_POST["LN"]', '$_POST["Email"]')';
?>
</form>
<?php
$sql = "SELECT FN, LN, Email
FROM
info"
$result = "mysql_query($sql)"
while($row_list = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
ECHO <div>The Names are:</div><br>
ECHO $FN . "," . $LN . "," . $Email;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Your PHP code is wrong in so many ways even in your query. What I did is clean your codes.
<?php
include 'header.php';
include 'connect.php';
?>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
Input First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="FN">
<br>
Input Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="LN">
<br>
Input Email:<br>
<input type="text" name="Email">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit-btn" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit-btn'])){
$sql = 'INSERT INTO info ( "FN", "LN", "Email") VALUES ('$_POST[FN]', '$_POST["LN"]', '$_POST["Email"]')';
if (mysql_query($sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
}
}
$sql = "SELECT FN, LN, Email FROM info";
$result = mysql_query($sql)
while($row_list = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
ECHO '<div>The Names are:</div><br>';
ECHO $FN . "," . $LN . "," . $Email;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
try to indent your code to make it more readable for yourself.
as already answered by user3814670, your insert query was wrong, with 4 elements (id,fn,ln,email) and only 3 data (fn,ln,email)
your query was't being executed also cleaned by user3814670 by adding the lines
if (mysql_query($sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
}
try to print your query to the screen and executing it in you database to see if your query fails or print the error to screen
mysql_error()
add this on top of your file after
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
Here's how you display data from the database using while loop
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['FN'] . " " . $row['LN'] . " " . $row['Email'];
}
Am just learning html. I need to write code that solves the quadratic equation formula. I tried php code embeding in html but am getting blank output. How do I get user values a, b, c and display conditional answers?
Here's a simple example of what you need to do. First make a HTML form:
<form method="post" action="index.php">
<input type="text" name="a" value="Enter 'a'" />
<input type="text" name="b" value="Enter 'b'" />
<input type="text" name="c" value="Enter 'c'" />
<input type="submit" name='calc' value="Calculate" />
</form>
There is your form. Now the calculations:
<?php
// Check if the form is submitted
if (isset($_POST['calc'])) {
//assign variables
$a = $_POST['a'];
$b = $_POST['b'];
$c = $_POST['c'];
//after assigning variables you can calculate your equation
$d = $b * $b - (4 * $a * $c);
$x1 = (-$b + sqrt($d)) / (2 * $a);
$x2 = (-$b - sqrt($d)) / (2 * $a);
echo "x<sub>1</sub> = {$x1} and x<sub>2</sub> = {$x2}";
} else {
// here you can put your HTML form
}
?>
You need to do more checks on it, but as I said before this is a simple example.
Edit: learn from the source , the official php site: http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php
1.Create a form with the fields you want. <form method='post' ....>...</form>
2.The user submit the form and then write a PHP code which get the posted data ($_POST)
and manipulate it according to the quadratic equation formula.
3.Echo the result.
I have smaller example.
This file sends data from form to itself. When it sends something - result of condition
$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'
is true. If its true - server process code in "if" block. It assigns data sent from form to 2 variables, then adds them and store in "$sum" variable. Result is displayed.
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST">
<p>
A: <br />
<input name="number_a" type="text"></input>
</p>
<p>B: <br />
<input name="number_b" type="text"></input>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit"/>
</p>
</form>
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') // process "if block", if form was sumbmitted
{
$a = $_POST['number_a'] ; // get first number form data sent by form to that file itself
$b = $_POST['number_b'] ; // get second number form data sent by form to that file itself
$sum = $a + $b; // calculate something
echo "A+B=" . $sum; // print this to html source, use "." (dot) for append text to another text/variable
}
?>
</body>
</html>
You need PHP server to test/use this! PHP file must be processed by web server, which creates page. Opening php file from disk will not work. If you need more explanations - ask for it in comments.
html += '<tr style="display:none;"><td class="leftval">ID:</td><td><span id="' + _uniqueId + '-id">' + one + '</span></td></tr>';
html += '<tr><td class="leftval"><label for="' + _uniqueId + '-itemdesc" title="This is the descriptive text that will actually appear in the email.">Description: </label></td>';
html += '<td><input value="' + four + '" class="CDinput" name="itemdesc" id="' + _uniqueId + '-itemdesc" type="text"></td></tr>';
html += '<tr><td class="leftval"><label for="' + _uniqueId + '-title" title="This is the title text that is used in the email. The text usually is used as the anchor text of a link.">Title: </label></td>';
html += '<td><input value="' + five + '" class="CDinput" name="title" id="' + _uniqueId + '-title" type="text"></td></tr>';
html += '<tr><td class="leftval"><label style="color:#f16d44;" for="' + _uniqueId + '-enddate" title="This is the expiration of the offer. The formating here is arbitrary and does not impact how the end date would look in the actual template.">End Date: </label></td>';
html += '<td><input style="width:230px" value="' + six + '" class="CDinput" name="enddate" id="' + _uniqueId + '-itemenddate" type="text">';//I'm overriding the default width for the calendar image
html += '<img style="cursor:pointer;" class="CDdate" id="' + _uniqueId + '-dateselector"src="/images/Calendar_hyperlink.png"></td></tr>';
I can think of 3 reasons:
string connector operands like ' + ' make it harder to read
Indentation is more difficult since it's awkward to indent the field to simulate a properly formatted html snippet.
Display logic is mixed in tightly with business application logic, making diversifying focus difficult.
You have 3 good reasons listed, and are in the top three. Trying to mix the two makes for ugly code, hard to read, hard to maintain, etc.
One other thing, though, that I hadn't thought of until recently, is that some editors, such as Netbeans, will tell you when your HTML is broken. Forgetting to close tags, wrong values, etc. I'm using PHP for my work, and I've gotten into the habit of doing soemthing like this:
<li>
<span class='name'><?php echo _TAG_INDEX ?>:</span>
<span class='value'><?php echo $get_zone_array['DB_ID'] ?></span>
</li>
Using it like this, if I forgot to close a tag, like if I forgot the closing </span> somewhere, it would point it out for me, so I could go in and fix it. However, if I was putting the HTML into a variable, or echoing it directly, like this:
$html = "<li><span class='name'>"._TAG_INDEX.":<span>" // notice missing / in </span>
. "<span class='value'>".$get_zone_array['DB_ID']."</span>"
. "</li>";
echo $html;
then there wouldn't be any HTML-checking from the editor, making finding those nasty little xHTML errors harder to find.
Some of the reasons:
It's butt-ugly!
It's slow. (The += operator in Java is not fast. Sometimes acceptable, but definitely not fast because it has to do a lot of object creation and buffer copying.)
It's too easy to introduce XSS vulnerabilities through strings not being properly quoted.
It's too inflexible; change anything on the layout and you have to change all the code.
Use a templating library instead. So much easier to get right.
