In my html I have multiple forms (text inputs, radio buttons, check boxes and select) and one button. I would like to fill all these forms and send values to my php file. For now I am trying to submit values from text input and select but I am stuck at this point.
I have a js submit file:
submitForms = function(){
document.getElementById("form1").submit();
document.getElementById("form2").submit();
}
And my forms are like this: SELECT:
<form id ="form1" name="dists" action="solve.php" method="post">
<select id="demo" name="sadzba" onchange="selectElement1(this.value)>
<option value="">-- vyberte oblasť --</option>
</select>
</form>
Text input form + button:
<form id="form2" action="solve.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="spotVT" ><label>kWh za rok VT</label>
<div id="nt" style='display:none'><input type="text" name="spotNT" ><label>kWh za rok NT</label></div>
</form>
<input id="sub" type="button" value="Ok" style="margin-left:15px;" onclick="submitForms()"/>
But this is not working. Can you help me please? Thank you
So you can send both request asynchronously or send one request asynchronously and after its success submit second form. $('#form1'). submit(function() { submitTwoForms(); return false; }); But, if you do not want to do all this, you can use Jquery form plugin to submit form using Ajax.
Well, If you are sending both these forms in the same request, then you can make a form object inside the parent component and then pass the form object to the children form and bind it. And then on Submit just post the data which is in the object.
Yes, we can use multiple tags inside one single HTML page. Sometimes we need to submit two distinct data from a single HTML page. To do so we need to use multiple tags.
Once you are submitting one form your page reloads or terminates the javascript after that submission of form so better use Ajax for submitting multiple forms at the same time
with jquery
$("#sub").click(function(){
$("form").each(function(){
var fd = new FormData($(this)[0]);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "solve.php",
data: fd,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
success: function(data,status) {
//this will execute when form is submited without errors
},
error: function(data, status) {
//this will execute when get any error
},
});
});
});
Above code will submit every form when you click a button with id sub
It will be easier to only submit one form. You can give your select and input tag the same form name by assigning form="your-form-id".
Here's an simple example of a native Javascript implementation.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Multiform - JAVASCRIPT</title>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>Form 1</legend>
<form name="f1" id="f1" onsubmit="return validate(this)">
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username" />
</form>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Form 2</legend>
<form name="f2" id="f2" onsubmit="return validate(this)">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email" />
</form>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Form 3</legend>
<form name="f3" id="f3" onsubmit="return validate(this)">
<input type="text" name="password" placeholder="Password" />
</form>
</fieldset>
<button onclick="submitAll();">SUBMIT ALL</button>
<script>
'use strict';
function validate(form){
//forms processsing goes here...
console.log(form, form.name)
return false;
}
function submitAll(){
for(var i=0, n=document.forms.length; i<n; i++){
document.forms[i].onsubmit();
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
You could try this. If submitting all forms is fine for your page
$('form').submit();
Function that's in actual use:
function trySubmitAllForms() {
if ($('.saveSpinner').is(':visible')) {
return;
}
if ($('form').valid()) {
$('.saveSpinner').show();
$('form').submit();
} else {
showValidationErrorMessages();
}
}
