Basically i have a value from a database ($learner->idnumber)
I then have a form which posts using submithandler to process.php (this edits database)
Now this is the bit im stuck on, im trying to get the php db value $learner->idnumber to update without page refresh once the form has been processed.
I have found:
$("#pinnumber").load("profile.php #pinnumber");
but im not quite sure on how to implement this.
This is my code:
<a id="pinlink">edit</a>
<div id="results"><div>
<div id="pinnumber">
'.$learner->idnumber.'
<div>
<div id="pincontent" style="display:none;">
<form name="myform" id="myform" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="idnumber" id="idnumber" size="20" value=""/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update">
</form>
<div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#pinlink").click(function () {
$("#pincontent").show();
});
$("#myform").validate({
debug: false,
rules: {
idnumber: "required",
},
messages: {
idnumber: "Please enter your PIN",
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$("#pincontent").hide();
// do other stuff for a valid form
$.post('process.php', $("#myform").serialize(), function(data) {
$('#results').html(data);
});
}
});
});
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I included:
print "".$_POST['idnumber']."";
in process.php before the save to db code.
this then printed into:
<div id="results"><div>
when form was submitted.

thank you in advance for any help given. I'm just learning jQuery and AJAX and would appreciate some help with the following code. All validation rules work, the form submits and the page does not refresh. The problem is that the form values are not clearing/resetting to default after the submit has triggered. Thoughts?
**********EDITED to include HTML markup*************
<div id="form">
<h1 class="title">Contact Us</h1><!-- title ends -->
<p class="contactUs">Ask about our services and request a quote today!</p><!-- contactUs ends -->
<div id="success"><p>Your message was sent successfully. Thank you.</p></div>
<p id="required">* All fields required.</p>
<form name="form" id="contactMe" method="post" action="process.php" onSubmit="return validateForm()" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input class="txt" type="text" maxlength="50" size="50" required name="name" value="<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>" placeholder="Name" />
<div id="nameError"><p>Your name is required.</p></div>
<input class="txt" type="text" maxlength="50" size="50" required name="email" value="<?php echo $_GET['email'];?>" placeholder="Email Address" />
<div id="emailError"><p>A valid email address is required.</p></div>
<textarea name="message" rows="6" cols="40" required placeholder="Message"></textarea>

});//ajax ends
e.preventDefault();//prevent default page refresh
}//else ends

});//function ends
//if reset button is clicked AND messages displayed, remove all form html messages
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#form input[type="reset"]').click(function() {
if ($('#success, #nameError, #emailError, #messageError').is(':visible')) {
$('#success, #nameError, #emailError, #messageError').fadeOut(250);
}
});
});
By giving your input id="reset" and/or name="reset", you effectively overwrote the form.reset method of the form because by doing so you made form.reset target the reset button. Simply give it a different id and name value.
Never give elements name or id attributes that equal the name of a property of a dom node.
Have problem with fancybox and jquery validate plugin when form is in fancybox container.
For examle (inline):
html:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){ $.fancybox('
<form class="myform">
<input type="text" name="email" class="email" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
');
})
</script>
js file:
$(".myform").validate(
{
rules: {
email: "required",
email: "email"
}
}
);
How to make jquery validation pluging to work in fancybox?
Do two things...
Use the afterLoad FancyBox callback function to initialize .validate() immediately after the form is loaded.
Put the content for FancyBox in a hidden div instead of in your jQuery. It's cleaner.
Note: You may want to reconsider using email for the name attribute. It has potential to cause great confusion since the rule is also called email.
HTML:
<a id="test" href="#inline">Test</a>
<div style="display:none" id="inline">
<form class="myform">
<input type="text" name="email" class="email" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</div>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#test').fancybox({
afterLoad: function() {
$('.myform').validate({
// rules and options for validate plugin,
rules: {
email: { // "email" is name of the field
required: true,
email: true // "email" is name of the rule
}
}
});
}
});
});

Can anyone tell me why this is not working or give me another way into doing what I want.
I have a form on a page when click submit I want it to process into add.php and for it to open up in a DIV called right.
Form page
<script>
$("#Submit").click(function() {
var url = "add.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#myForm").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(html){ $("#right").html(html); }
});
return false; // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="add.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id ="myForm">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br>
Phone: <input type="text" name = "phone"><br>
Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
</body>
Now if I add action to form to direct it to add.php all works fine so other script is ok yet when i do it this way,nothing happens it does not load add.php into the 'right' div like I want it to.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Your $("#Submit") selector does not match anything (the submit button has no id and is defined after that bind attempt), so the function is not bound to any event, thus never executed.
Instead the form acts the way it should: upon submit it posts its content to the url specified in the 'action' attribute. This is what happens, that div is never touched.
you have to go back to understand how jquery selectors work. How to bind a function to an event.
Is this your exact code? There are a few issues:
$("#Submit").click should be wrapped in a document ready
handler so it doesnt run before the page has actually loaded.
There is no button that matches #Submit
There is no div that matches #right
Try
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#Submit").click(function() {
var url = "add.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url,
data: $("#myForm").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
success: function(html){ $("#right").html(html); }
});
return false; // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form.
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="right">
</div>
<form action="add.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id ="myForm">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br>
Phone: <input type="text" name = "phone"><br>
Photo: <input type="file" name="photo"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload" id="Submit">
</form>
you have to create on div in body tag which id will be right and
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="upload" >
add new div in body tag like this
<div id="right"></div>
I am trying to make a form submit through ajax and the JsHelper from CakePHP 1.3
I try to make a call to /eng/feedbacks/submit_feedback but instead in the console, i see a post to http://lang/eng/pa/homepage instead. The result returned is another instance of that page, rather than anything else.
This seems to be irrelevant to whether such submit_feedback exists or not. I have started that action with die("test"); and it doesn't change anything.
why is that, what is going on?
the form is in my layout (as i want it to be in my footer). Runs when the url is /eng/pa/homepage
Form code:
echo $this->Form->create('Feedback', array('url'=>array( 'controller'=>'feedbacks', 'action'=>'submit_feedback')));
echo $this->Form->input('Feedback.content', array('label'=>false, 'type'=>'textarea'));
echo $this->Js->submit('Save', array('class'=>'button blue',
'before'=>$this->Js->get('#sending')->effect('fadeIn'),
'success'=>$this->Js->Get('#sending')->effect('fadeOut'),
'update'=>'#success'
));
echo $this->Form->end();?>
<div id="success">xx</div>
In that #success DIV i get a related full page, rather than what I have defined in the controller action
Controller method:
function submit_feedback(){
if(!empty($this->data)){
$this->Feedback->set($this->data);
if($this->Feedback->validates()){
if($this->Feedback->save($this->data)){
// AJAX
if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax()){
$this->render('/feedbacks/success', 'ajax');
}else{
die('not ajax');
}
}
}
}
}
And the success template is:
<p style="background: lightgreen">Purple cow!</p>
What am i doing wrong?
NOTE: If I run the same form from the /eng/feedbacks/submit_feedback page, It works exactly as it should through ajax, and my database gets updated, i get the necessary 'success' template loaded and all is shiny and happy.
UPDATE: FORM SOURCE COUDE GENERATED:
<form accept-charset="utf-8" action="/eng/feedbacks/submit_feedback" method="post" id="FeedbackReadForm">
<div style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" value="POST" name="_method">
</div>
<input type="hidden" id="FeedbackUserId" value="141" name="data[Feedback][user_id]">
<div class="input radio">
<input type="hidden" value="" id="FeedbackType_" name="data[Feedback][type]">
<input type="radio" value="suggestion" id="FeedbackTypeSuggestion" name="data[Feedback][type]">
<label for="FeedbackTypeSuggestion">Suggestion</label>
<input type="radio" value="problem" id="FeedbackTypeProblem" name="data[Feedback][type]">
<label for="FeedbackTypeProblem">Poblem</label>
<input type="radio" value="opinion" id="FeedbackTypeOpinion" name="data[Feedback][type]">
<label for="FeedbackTypeOpinion">Other Opinion</label>
</div>
<div class="input textarea">
<textarea id="FeedbackContent" rows="6" cols="30" name="data[Feedback][content]"></textarea>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 17px; margin-right: 50px;" class="right">
<a onclick="javascript: closeFeedbackPuller(); return false;" href="#">Cancel</a>
</div>
<div class="submit">
<input type="submit" value="Save" id="submit-396027771" class="button blue">
</div>
</form>
UPDATE 2: JS generated:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#submit-396027771").bind("click", function (event) {
$.ajax({
beforeSend:function (XMLHttpRequest) {
$("#sending").fadeIn();
},
data:$("#submit-396027771").closest("form").serialize(),
dataType:"html",
success:function (data, textStatus) {
$("#sending").fadeOut();
$("#success").html(data);
},
type:"post",
url:"\/eng\/pa\/homepage"
});
return false;
});
});
I see that the url is wrong, even thought the form url was right. How can this be resolved?
echo $this->Js->submit('Save', array('class'=>'button blue',
'before'=>$this->Js->get('#sending')->effect('fadeIn'),
'success'=>$this->Js->Get('#sending')->effect('fadeOut'),
'url' => '/eng/feedbacks/submit_feedback',
'update'=>'#success'
));
That may fix your problem, but I am not 100% sure. It seems that the Js->submit() method accepts a lot of the Form helper methods.
I am combing the jQuery validation plug-in with the jQuery Form Plugin to submit the form via AJAX.
This works perfectly in Firefox & Chrome, but (as usual) Internet Explorer is being a pain. For reasons that are alluding me, IE is ignoring the ajaxSubmit, as a result it submits the form in the normal fashion.
I've followed the validation plug-in's documentation when constructing my code:
JS:
<script src="/js/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.form.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var validator = $("#form_notify").validate({
messages: {
email: {
required: 'Please insert your email address. Without your email address we will not be able to contact you!',
email:'Please enter a <b>valid</b> email address. Without a valid email address we will not be able to contact you!'
}
},
errorLabelContainer: "#error",
success: "valid",
submitHandler: function(form) {$(form).ajaxSubmit();}
});
$('#email').blur(function() {
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() > 0) {
$("#label").addClass("label_error");
return false;
}
else {$("#label").removeClass("label_error");}
});
$('#form_notify').submit(function() {
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() == 0) {
$(this).fadeOut('fast', function() {$('#thank-you').fadeIn();});
return true;
}
return false;
});
});
</script>
Form HTML:
<form id="form_notify" class="cmxform" name="form_notify" action="optin.pl" method="get">
<fieldset>
<div class="input">
<label id="label" for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" title="email address" class="{required:true, email:true}"/>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="sub-745-9.224;1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0;;subscribe-224.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="followup" value="19">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit-button" value="Notify Me">
<div id="error"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>
I can't understand what is causing IE to act differently, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I can provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance!
Try the following:
$('#form_notify').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() == 0) {
$(this).fadeOut('fast', function() {$('#thank-you').fadeIn();});
return true;
}
return false;
});
