Submit Form Notification Message

[JP]

Hi folks,

Using ASP and/or JavaScript, how do you create that little
notification message (usually in red below the submit button) when the
Submit button is pushed. Something that says "Your information is
being sent ..."

Thanks for any assistance.

ASP is not a programming language, but a serverside platform for
javascript, VBscript, etc. So the "or" is not possible.

It is being done clientside, so ASP cannot do that.

Please ask a clientside NG, like:

comp.lang.javascript

<script type="text/javascript">

function doSubmit()
{
var form = this.form
this.nextSibiling.style.visibility = 'visible'
window.setTimeout(fnSubmit, 0)

function fnSubmit()
{
form.submit()
}
}

</script>

<input type="button" onclick="doSubmit.call(this)" value="Send" /><br />
<span style="visibility:hidden; color:red">Sending...</span>

/<span style="visibility:hidden; color:red">Sending...</span>

Wouldn't the next sibling be the <br>?

call Method (JScript 5.6):

Calls a method of an object, substituting
another object for the current object.

Could you explain for us mortals what the call() here does?

You're quite right. I wrote the code then added the BR as an after thought.

nextSibliling.nextSibling would be necessary.

It calls the doSubmit function as if the input had a doSubmit method
attached. Hence in the doSubmit execution the 'this' context is the input
element.

It could have been written:-

function doSubmit(elem)
{
var form = elem.form
elem.nextSibling.nextSibiling.style.visibility = 'visible'
window.setTimeout(fnSubmit, 0)

function fnSubmit()
{
form.submit()
}
}

and onclick would be "doSubmit(this)"

However I prefer .call since it is consistent with assigning the event
handler in code:-

elem.onclick = doSubmit
