Hi all im trying to do is pass a value to the controller using an image instead of a button.
ive got it working using the button with.
<input type="submit" name="Vote" value="1" />
This works but when im try using a button type it fails saying that im sending a null parameter.
<input type="image" src="imagepath" value="1" alt="1" name="Vote" />
If anyone can help it would be a great thanks.
<input type="image" src="imagepath" value="1" alt="1" name="Vote" onclick="submit" />
But I think you'll lose submitting by hitting the enter key.
input image "sometimes"(?) just send the x and y coordinates of the image...
Input type="image" is anyway something to avoid for submit buttons.
Why not use Ajax ?
#Ajax.RawActionLink("Text", "Action", "Controller", null, ajaxOptions, new { #class = "button green small" })

I need some help with the following issue. I am pretty new to JavaScript so this one is pretty tough for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
We have a form for registration that is already in use and I need to make some amends to it to enhance its usability. The form itself already contains several validation scripts and I need to add in a new one - an error message to appear next to the mobile field. I am unable to amend the form HTML itself so I have to do everything by javascript – I need to bind the new function to the submit button so that it fires AFTER all the other validations (field highlight, pop ups), but before the page turns over.
Here is the form (I have just left in the feild i need to amend) :
<form method="post" action="#" id="register_form" class="validate">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="unregistered" value="false" />
<fieldset>
<legend>I am a new online customer</legend>
<div class="element">
<label for="mobile_number">Mobile:**</label>
<input name="mobileNumber" type="text" id="mobile_number" title="Please enter at least one number" class="text validate {validate:{minLength:10, eitherOr:'#telephone_number', messages:{minLength:'Please enter a valid phone number (at least #NUM digits long)', eitherOr:'Please enter either your Telephone or Mobile number'}}}" />
</div>
<div class="element continue_shopping_cont submit">
<button type="submit" class="submit button small_button"><span>Register</span></button>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="secure_from" value="" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Could someone help show me how i am supposed to do this and how is best to target this field?
I have this simple kendo-template script:
<!-- popup editor template -->
<script id="userEditor" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div id="popServerErrorSummaryPlaceholder" style="display:none"></div>
<div class="control-row">
<label class="span2" for="FirstName">Vorname</label>
<input Id="FirstName" class="span4" data-bind="value:FirstName" maxlength="50" name="FirstName" required="true" type="text" />
<span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="FirstName"></span>
</div>
<div class="control-row">
<label class="span2" for="LastName">Nachname</label>
<input Id="LastName" class="span4" data-bind="value:LastName" maxlength="50" name="LastName" required="true" type="text" />
<span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="LastName"></span>
</div>
</script>
Which is used while editing a single row within the Kend-UI grid.
I have got right now two issues:
a) The documentation states that I can control the position for validation messages via a "span" element that has a class "k-invalid-msg".
The behaviour right now is that this span Element gets replaced with a div element and it is positioned below the label element. I would like to get the message next to the input.
b) The validation is triggered immediately when the pop up is displayed.The validation should be trigger either when leaving the input or clicking the "update" button.
Someone out there who can help me here?
Things I am not quite sure how to handle:
c) Some validations are performed at the server. I get them back to the browser via the DataSource error event (custom JSON which is basically a list of field name and associated error messages). I would like to display the error messages within the validation span. I can create custom validation rules as documented here.
How do I get the validator that is associated with the pop up editor window? Or is there foreach input a validator created?
Anyone did this before?
Thanks for any help!
Updates:
regarding to point a)
OnaBai pointed me to the right direction. Thanks for that.
I am using ASP.net for a program with a number of check boxes and a submit button which initiates an action depending on the selected check boxes.
However, one of my check boxes should behave as this submit button, i.e, upon selecting/deselecting this check box, the same action as the button must be triggered. Can someone please help me in doing this (or perhaps direct me to a tutorial)
I have a controller class and model.
Thanks you
EDIT
The program look like:
#using(Html.BeginForm("controllername", FormMethod.Get)) {
#html.CheckBox("check1");
#HTMl.Checkbos("check2");
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}
Everything else is pretty much handled in the controller.
You can use javascript to listen to the check event of your check box and then invoke the form submit.
Assuming your markup of view is like this
<form id="yourFormId" action="user/post">
<input type="checkbox" class="optionChk" value="1" /> One
<input type="checkbox" class="optionChk" value="2" /> Two
<input type="checkbox" class="optionChk" value="3" /> Three
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$(".optionChk").click(function(){
var item=$(this);
if(item.val()=="2") //check your condition here
{
item.closest("form").submit();
}
});
});
</script>
EDIT : As per the question edit.
Change the CheckBox Helper method usage like the below to add a css class to the checkbox so that we can use that for the jQuery selection.
#Html.CheckBox("check1",new { #class="optionChk"})
imagining you have something like this:
#using(Html.BeginForm()) {
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="chb_a" id="chb_a"> Option A
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="chb_b" id="chb_b"> Option B
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="chb_c" id="chb_c"> Option C
</label>
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="chb_d" id="chb_d"> Option D
</label>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
}
you can write a simple jQuery to complement:
$(".submit").click(function() {
// find the <form> the element belongs and submit it
$(this).closest('form').submit();
});
and with this, all you need is to add a class named submit to any checkbox or more buttons if you want them to submit
for example:
<label class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="chb_e" id="chb_e" class="submit"> Option E
</label>
You can bind the click events on the checkboxes.
$( '.myCheckboxes' ).click(function () {
var clickedBox = $( this );
// now do something based on the clicked box...
});
If you need to know which checkboxes are checked, that's just another selector.
$( '.myCheckboxes:checked' ).each(function () {
// Now you have access to each checked box.
// Maybe you want to grab their values.
});
Just bind the checkbox to a click event. Assuming you have a way of uniquely identifying the checkbox that submits the form.
$( '#formSubmitCheckbox' ).click(function() {
$( '#myForm' ).submit();
});
I have this problem :
I have a submit button defined as follows :
<input type="submit" name="actionName" value="search" />
<input type="submit" name="actionName" value="New" />
both submit buttons are included in an Ajax beginForm:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("PFSearch", "Payer", ajaxOptions))
In the controller ... based on the actionName string provided .. i do different actions based on the value of button pressed within my Ajax befin form :
if (actionName="search")
{
//do something
}
And everything works like a charm .. until i want to add i want to add an image to the class of my submit button :
<input class="search" type="submit" name="actionName" value="search" />
<input class="search" type="submit" name="actionName" value="New" />
My search tab looks like this :
As you can clearly see my main impediment is that by adding value ... the text appears over my image.
How can i make those button act differently within my ajax begin form considering that giving value to the buttons doesn't work ? Any alternatives or workarounds are appreciated. Thanks !
Can you please give us a link to your project's demo? And try to use some margin, padding and background-position:center;
Below is the form which i loaded via ajax. When i run the form page directly then autofocus on c_name works in firefox but when loaded with ajax it doesn't! It works fine with opera/safari/chrome though!
<form action="client_entry_action.php" method="post" id="client_entry_form" name="client_entry_form">
<fieldset id="client_info_1">
<label for="c_name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="c_name" required placeholder="Name" autofocus="autofocus" />
<label for="c_phone">Phone Number:</label>
<input type="tel" name="c_phone" required placeholder="Mobile/Phone Number" />
<label for="c_email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="c_email" required placeholder="email#example.com" />
<label for="c_address">Address:</label>
<textarea name="c_address" ></textarea>
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="client_info_2">
<label for="c_info">Additional notes:</label>
<textarea name="c_info" ></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="add_client" value="Add Client" />
</fieldset>
</form>
Autofocus is only done before onload has fired; it's meant to be a declarative way of specifying focus on initial page load.
use settimeout after ajax call on the div, or using jquery use .ajaxComplete, or .done
function theAjax(){
//after the ajax actions loaded......
//use settimeout to refocused on the input..
var t=setTimeout("focusMe()",500);
}
function focusMe(){
document.getELementById("theInput").focus(); //the new input
}
//using jquery use .ajaxComplete, or .done
$( document ).ajaxComplete(function() {
$("#focusOnMe").focus();
}
I know this is old, but I just had this problem and maybe it helps someone.
If you use jQuery this works:
$("input[name='c_name']").focus();
Javascript would be something like this (general example):
document.getElementById('element').focus();
But you have to call that function after your form is loaded via ajax!
This worked for me:
$.get("/url.html", function(html) {
var form = $("#form", html);// extract form with id=form from ajax response
if (window.InstallTrigger) {// Detect Firefox and add focus script
// place focus on first element containing autofocus attribute
form.append("<script>$('[autofocus]')[0].focus();<\/script>");
}
$("#element").replaceWith(form);// Replace element with id=element with form
});
This is different from other solutions posted here because the script that places focus on the autofocus element is added to the DOM at the same time as the autofocus element itself thus ensuring that the script runs after the DOM is finished updating.
Note that this solution requires jQuery. If you are not using jQuery you can still do this easily enough with querySelectorAll
document.getElementById("element").innerHTML = form+"<script>document.querySelectorAll('[autofocus]')[0].focus()<\/script>"
