Question:
I have a page where you can enter data within a series of texboxes (generated from php), and 2 buttons, GetData and SaveData. I want to be able to press enter when editing the texboxes, and it would perform the same action as clicking the SaveData button (onclick="onSave();"). I can acheive this by doing the following:
<form id="editForm" name="editForm" action="onSave();"> but when I press enter, the page is redirected to the page, without the php post (ex.:www.mypage.com/index.php, instead of www.mypage.com/index.php?edit_data=true)
How do I achieve what I want?
Solution:1
try <form id="editForm" name="editForm" action="onSave();return false;">
Solution:2
The answer was (thanks to Ulysses for part fo the answer):
<form id="editForm" name="editForm" onsubmit="onSave();return false;"> My onSave(); function did return false, but since it was doing the redirection, I had to put the return false after the onSave(); (explain why??)
Thanks!
Solution:3
Make sure that your onSave(); returns false, and change action to onsubmit="return onSave();".
Solution:4
hmm... did you intentionally forgot the tag method="POST" ? :)
Solution:5
button1 as Submit button
button2 as type='button' on cliking button2 call javascript function which create lik using window.location.href="www.mypage.com/index.php?edit_data=true"

None of these proposed solutions worked for me while using a PHP form.
Essentially, what I wanted to do was have a simple form that will hide after it is submitted. I used jQuery to listen for when the click happened, but it didn't matter because the page refreshed. Then, I used JS to prevent the default behavior for the submission (ex. e.preventDefault();). What I came up with...
I ended up setting the form action to "#" so that it would change the URL after the form was submitted. Javascript reads the URL for the hash and will hide/show necessary elements then redirect after a few seconds if it is present. Yes, the page still refreshes, but I get the proper behavior by using JS with the page refreshing feature.
Here's my code:
<?php include_once 'db.php'; // includes login to DB if('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && isset($_POST['submit'])) { $ip = $_POST['publicIP']; $sql_query = "INSERT INTO tablename(PublicIP) VALUES('$ip')"; mysql_query($sql_query); } ?> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script> <script>var publicIP = '<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>';</script> <style> form, [type="submit"] { max-width: 300px; margin: 0 auto; } form { border: 4px solid #757679; border-radius: 5px; box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px #A5A5A5; } [type="submit"] { border: none; height: 5em; width: 100%; font-size: 2em; color: #353638; background-color: #22D1F2; text-shadow: -1px -1px 1px #949494; } input[name="publicIP"] { display: none; } p { text-align: center; } p, form { -webkit-transition: all 2s; -moz-transition: all 2s; -ms-transition: all 2s; -o-transition: all 2s transition: all 2s; } .hidden { display: none !important; -webkit-transition: all 2s; -moz-transition: all 2s; -ms-transition: all 2s; -o-transition: all 2s transition: all 2s; } </style> </head> <body> <p class="hidden">Thank you for visiting. You will be redirected within 3 seconds.</p> <form action="#" method="POST"> <input type="text" name="publicIP"> <button type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button> </form> <script> document.querySelector('input[name=publicIP]').value = publicIP; </script> <script> function redirect() { setTimeout(function() { window.location = "https://google.com"; }, 3000); } if (window.top.location.href.indexOf('#') > 0) { $('form').addClass('hidden'); $('p').removeClass('hidden'); redirect(); } </script> </body> </html> Note:If u also have question or solution just comment us below or mail us on toontricks1994@gmail.com
