Is there a way in jQuery to create and submit a form on the fly.
Something like below.
Title Text Goe
There were two things wrong with your code. The first one is that you included the $(document).ready();
but didn't wrap the jQuery object that's creating the element with it.
The second was the method you were using. jQuery will create any element when the selector (or where you would usually put the selector) is replaced with the element you wish to create. Then you just append it to the body and submit it.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('<form action="form2.html"></form>').appendTo('body').submit();
});
Here's the code in action. In this example, it doesn't auto submit, just to prove that it would add the form element.
Here's the code with auto submit. It works out fine. Jsfiddle takes you to a 404 page because "form2.html" doesn't exist on its server, obviously.
Its My version without jQuery, simple function can be used on fly
Function:
function post_to_url(path, params, method) {
method = method || "post";
var form = document.createElement("form");
form.setAttribute("method", method);
form.setAttribute("action", path);
for(var key in params) {
if(params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
var hiddenField = document.createElement("input");
hiddenField.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
hiddenField.setAttribute("name", key);
hiddenField.setAttribute("value", params[key]);
form.appendChild(hiddenField);
}
}
document.body.appendChild(form);
form.submit();
}
Usage:
post_to_url('fullurlpath', {
field1:'value1',
field2:'value2'
}, 'post');
Try with this code -
It is a totally dynamic solution:
var form = $(document.createElement('form'));
$(form).attr("action", "reserves.php");
$(form).attr("method", "POST");
var input = $("<input>").attr("type", "hidden").attr("name", "mydata").val("bla");
$(form).append($(input));
$(form).submit();
Yes, it is possible. One of the solutions is below (jsfiddle as a proof).
HTML:
<a id="fire" href="#" title="submit form">Submit form</a>
(see, above there is no form)
JavaScript:
jQuery('#fire').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
var newForm = jQuery('<form>', {
'action': 'http://www.google.com/search',
'target': '_top'
}).append(jQuery('<input>', {
'name': 'q',
'value': 'stack overflow',
'type': 'hidden'
}));
newForm.submit();
});
The above example shows you how to create form, how to add inputs and how to submit. Sometimes display of the result is forbidden by X-Frame-Options
, so I have set target
to _top
, which replaces the main window's content. Alternatively if you set _blank
, it can show within new window / tab.
Josepmra example works well for what i need. But i had to add the line
form.appendTo( document.body )
for it to work.
var form = $(document.createElement('form'));
$(form).attr("action", "reserves.php");
$(form).attr("method", "POST");
var input = $("<input>")
.attr("type", "hidden")
.attr("name", "mydata")
.val("bla" );
$(form).append($(input));
form.appendTo( document.body )
$(form).submit();
Why don't you $.post or $.get directly?
GET
requests:
$.get(url, data, callback);
POST
requests:
$.post(url, data, callback);
Then you don't need a form, just send the data in your data object.
$.post("form2.html", {myField: "some value"}, function(){
alert("done!");
});
