Good morning,
Is there a good way to use JavaScript to send a form submission, but get
back the response as a string, rather than loading it into a page? I
could write the code to send the submission via XMLHttpRequest, but that
seems hard... especially implementing multipart-encoded form submission
such as required for file upload.
Ideas?

You might want to have a look at kupu (SVN checkout from http://codespeak.net/svn/kupu/trunk/kupu) and search for kupu_upload_for m.
The form there has a target attribute and is followed by an invisible
iframe with a name matching the target. When the form is submitted, this
means the response comes back into the iframe. The response includes an
onLoad event which calls a javascript method back in the main document to
handle the result or display an error message.

That would work... except that I don't have any control over the form
tag... and the form needs to work as usual when the real submit button
is pressed. I suppose I could temporarily set the target via DOM, and
then put it back after the Form.submit() call... seems kinda kludgy,
though. I'm debating whether that's cleaner than faking the form submit
via XMLHttpRequest.

You may not have to put it back immediately: you just need an onsubmit
handler which works out which way you want to submit the form and direct
the target accordingly.
Alternatively clone the entire form and set the target on the clone. I have
no idea whether you can then submit the clone without adding it into the
DOM. If you can then that would be a nice solution, one call to cloneNode,
set the target and submit. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have form/select which executes a function using onchange. No
problem. However, when I validate the page with a strict HTML 4.01
doctype at http://validator.w3.org, it demands either an action or a
method for the form?.
If I give it an empty action <form action="" ..... it validates OK. Is
this acceptable or is there a better/standards correct way?
Thanks.

I am interested in hearing opinions on the semantic meaning of FORM
(elements) in HTML.
I have to start of apologising because this question arose in a context
that is not applicable to the Internet. Specifically, marking up a
document that will contain multiple related form controls (intended
exclusively for client-side scripting) that would never be intended to
be submitted. I realise that that concept is a non-starter in an

I have a table where all the TRs have an onClick handler registered.
One (and only one) of the rows has 2 text input boxes, where each

they work on different form elements). If the onChange event fires, I
need the form to be submitted. If the onClick event fires for a TR, I

I am working on a web/webservice application that has a service layer. Most
service methods will perform an access-check before executing. This check
uses the IPrincipal credentials available in HttpContext.Current. This works
great.
My issue is that I need to write unit tests for those service methods. These
tests then run outside of IIS, thus there is no HttpContext.Current
available - and the servicemethod will not execute.

Hi,
I have a Java/JavaScript GUI application where I perform a lot of long DB
operations
, which takes 5-60 secs to perform.
Sometimes user double-clicks the button or just gets impatient and clicks
again,
which created duplicate forcm submission and hence duplicate records.
So I am trying to disable the button as soon as it is clicked, and as soon

Hey guys.. my turn to ask a question:
I'm having a weird issue with a form I've reworked. This form has a combo box, which when used is changing the recordsource of a subform. This subform has no Master/Child relationship set to the main form. Specifically the problem seems to be that everytime the recordsource of the subform is changed, the subform object itself tries to set a default Master/Child value (both fields fill with the "ID"...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
