How do I reference the submit button? I am trying to set the focus on the submit button when a certain field is exited.
Here's an example of my approach:
dataEvents:[{
type:'blur',
fn: function(){
$('#add').focus();
}
}]
Have also tried $('#submit').focus();
Note: This button is the Add button of the Add New Record modal form of jqGrid
Any help appreciated.
You should be able to set the focus after the blur via a
$('#sData').focus();
Add id in submit button and try this
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submit").focus();
});
<input type="submit" value="u" name="submit" id="submit"/>

I have an MVC2 C# .Net Web App. We are using the built in MVC3 Validation using the Domain class properties [Required(ErrorMessage = "Start From is required.")] and in the HTML #Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StartFrom)
However, when we submit the page using the Cancel button, the validation is fired stating the "Start From is Required" and therefore not exiting the page. How can I disable the Validation on the Cancel button? Or submit the page without firing the Validation?
I think you need to override the default behaviour of the submit button i.e., Cancel button in your case.
Say you have the cancel button like this:
<input type="submit" id="btnCancel" value="cancel"/>
now write the jQuery to override the default behaviour
$(function(){
$('#btnCancel').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//or you can return false from this method.
//return false;
});
});
I found an answer here, on Stackoverflow :) jQuery disable validation
Each of the first two answers in that link worked for me. #Karthik, thanks for the answer. It got me on the right track
Answer 1:
<input id = "theCancel" class="cancel" type="submit" value="Cancel" />
Answer 2:
$(function () {
$('#theCancel').click(function (e) {
$("form").validate().cancelSubmit = true;
});
});
I chose answer 2 and put it in our global js file. All of our Cancel buttons have an id of "theCancel"
Is it possible to allow multiple clicks on a sigle submit button of a form? I have a form where I want to perform an action on the first submission (first click) and a different action on the second submission (second click).
I am basically using ajax to populate a div in the form during the first submission and I want to submit the form on the second click.
I have tried to put by button in the div to by updated, and after the first click, I update update the div and re-creating the button in the updated div. But if I use this method, how can I set the action method of the newly created button in my controller method for Ajax?
My controller method returns something like
return Content( mystring + <input type='button' value='continue submission'/>
if i use this approach, how do I set the action method of the buttton, or is there another way of doing this?
Use two buttons with JavaScript:
Button 1 is shown initially. On click, it hides itself, shows button 2, and performs your action 1.
Button 2 is hidden initially. It is unhidden by button 1 and on click, it performs your second action.
This looks a little weird but I can tell you how to do this. Take an input type="submit" and make it hidden. Have a variable as var flag = false; When user first clicks you input type="button" call a function and do your stuff and make sure to make the flag=true; In the function itself check if flag=true; the trigger the event of your input type="submit".
Like as follows:
<input type="button" id="btn1" onclick="perfromAction()" value="submit"/>
<input type="submit" id="btn2" value="submit" style="display:none"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flag=false;
function performAction()
{
if(flag){
$("#btn2").trigger("click");
}
else{
//do processing
flag=true;
}
I have an strongly typed view for my model and what I'd like is that when the user clicks on submit, a confirmation box pop up confirming that the user does indeed wish to submit the form, if they click cancel then it shouldn't fire the HttpPost Action for that View, is this possible?
Of course it is possible. I like to use an unobtrusive approach. Here is a simplified example:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery('[data-confirm]').click(function (e) {
if (!confirm(jQuery(this).attr("data-confirm")))
{
e.preventDefault();
}
});
});
Then you only need to add a data-confirm attribute to your submit button for example
<input type="submit" data-confirm="are u sure?" />
Of course you can use this attribute on links, buttons, etc. you are not restricted to submit buttons only, and if you want to implement a fancier confirm dialog later than you will have to replace the code only in one place.
function doSubmit()
{
if(window.confirm("ARE YOU SURE TO PERFORM THIS ACTION"))
{
return true;
}
else return false;
}
call doSubmit() function on onsubmit event of the form,
Eg- onsubmit="return doSubmit()
you can add a simply jQuery call for that.
at the end of your view add:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("form").submit(function() {
return confirm('Are you sure?');
});
</script>
or, add a
onsubmit="return confirm('Are you sure?');"
as a new element property
I believe this can be done by overriding the submit button using jquery. Jquery .submit()
This way, when the person hits submit you can show a message and either submit it or cancel it.
I have a form + layout like so:
<form ...>
<div id="editor">
[form html]
<input type="submit" value="Submit form" />
</div>
</form>
And the following javascript:
$(function() {
var form = $('#editor').parents('form');
alert(form.length); // this alerts "1"
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function() {
alert('document form submit fired'); // this works as expected (alerts)
});
form.on('submit', function() {
alert('selected form submit fired'); // this is never alerted
});
});
This form is not loaded via ajax. When the page loads, the first dialog alerts "1". However when submitting the form, only one alert is fired -- the one that triggers submit for all forms in the document.
Why would this happen?
It does work. Something else is happening which is preventing the second alert from firing.
Your form selector is incorrect.
Try and do this
$("form").on('submit', function() {
Pretty sure this should work
Actually if nothing is being loaded through ajax or dynamically through javascript
You can just do
$("form").submit(function() {
EDIT
Scratch my above. Didn't see you set the value of form. Check out http://jsfiddle.net/s3fvM/1/. Seems to be working fine to me. both are firing and alerting.
I have an controller which has check like that
if (form["submit"].ToString() == "Continue")
{
}
and i have button which is doing submit
<button name="submit" value="Continue">Continue</button>
It was all working well until i decided to disable Continue button on submit to prevent double click using this function:
$('form').submit(function () {
if ($(this).valid()) {
$(':submit', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
});
So now i don't get value form["submit"] posted on controller.
Any thoughts how may i fix that?
I want still prevent second click but be able to get form["submit"] value posted on controller.
Can you control the submit value in a hidden field in the form? I can't tell what other logic you might need, but when the form renders, you could set the hidden field's value to the submit button's value and change it when necessary using the first script below. As long as it has a name attribute and is enabled (which you'd rarely disable a hidden field) then it will post when the form is submitted.
$(function() {
// this assumes your button has id="myButton" attribute
$(':hidden[name="submit"]').val($('#myButton').val());
});
And of course in your form, you would need a hidden field with name="submit"
<input type="hidden" name="submit" value="Continue" />
Then, whenever the state of your form changes, modify the disabled state of the button and the value of the hidden field to reflect the value (if it changed at all).
There are also frameworks you may find useful for UI features like this. KnockoutJS comes to mind. It can be used to "value" bind input elements. It's probably overkill for this small example, but it could be useful if your UI expands. I've added markup, script and comments below if you're interested.
$(function () {
var viewModel = {
submitValue: ko.observable("Continue")
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
$('form').submit(function() {
if($(this).valid()) {
// the following line will change the both the hidden field's value
// as well as the button's value attribute
viewModel.submitValue("some other value");
// I couldn't follow your selector here, but please note I changed
// the name of the submit button in the markup below.
$(':submit, this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
});
});
KnockoutJS requires you use the data-bind attribute to setup your elements. In your case, you'd bind one property to multiple elements like this:
<button name="submitButton" data-bind="value: submitValue"/>Continue</button>
<!-- and bind the same value similarly in the hidden field-->
<input type="hidden" name="submit" data-bind="value: submitValue"/>
