Is there an easy way (without listing them all separately) in jquery to select all form elements and only form elements.
I can't use children() etc because the form contains other HTML.
E.g:
$("form").each(function(){
$(this, "input, textarea, select");
});
Edit: As pointed out in comments (Mario Awad & Brock Hensley), use .find to get the children
$("form").each(function(){
$(this).find(':input') //<-- Should return all input elements in that specific form.
});
forms also have an elements collection, sometimes this differs from children such as when the form tag is in a table and is not closed.
var summary = [];
$('form').each(function () {
summary.push('Form ' + this.id + ' has ' + $(this).find(':input').length + ' child(ren).');
summary.push('Form ' + this.id + ' has ' + this.elements.length + ' form element(s).');
});
$('#results').html(summary.join('<br />'));<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="A" style="display: none;">
<input type="text" />
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
<form id="B" style="display: none;">
<select><option>A</option></select>
<button>Submit</button>
</form>
<table bgcolor="white" cellpadding="12" border="1" style="display: none;">
<tr><td colspan="2"><center><h1><i><b>Login
Area</b></i></h1></center></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>UserID:</b></i></h1></td><td><form id="login" name="login" method="post"><input
name="id" type="text"></td></tr>
<tr><td><h1><i><b>Password:</b></i></h1></td><td><input name="pass"
type="password"></td></tr>
<tr><td><center><input type="button" value="Login"
onClick="pasuser(this.form)"></center></td><td><center><br /><input
type="Reset"></form></td></tr></table></center>
<div id="results"></div>May be :input selector is what you want
$("form").each(function(){
$(':input', this)//<-- Should return all input elements in that specific form.
});
As pointed out in docs
To achieve the best performance when using :input to select elements, first select the elements using a pure CSS selector, then use .filter(":input").
You can use like below,
$("form").each(function(){
$(this).filter(':input') //<-- Should return all input elements in that specific form.
});
The below code helps to get the details of elements from the specific form with the form id,
$('#formId input, #formId select').each(
function(index){
var input = $(this);
alert('Type: ' + input.attr('type') + 'Name: ' + input.attr('name') + 'Value: ' + input.val());
}
);
The below code helps to get the details of elements from all the forms which are place in the loading page,
$('form input, form select').each(
function(index){
var input = $(this);
alert('Type: ' + input.attr('type') + 'Name: ' + input.attr('name') + 'Value: ' + input.val());
}
);
The below code helps to get the details of elements which are place in the loading page even when the element is not place inside the tag,
$('input, select').each(
function(index){
var input = $(this);
alert('Type: ' + input.attr('type') + 'Name: ' + input.attr('name') + 'Value: ' + input.val());
}
);
NOTE: We add the more element tag name what we need in the object list like as below,
Example: to get name of attribute "textarea",
$('input, select, textarea').each(
function(index){
var input = $(this);
alert('Type: ' + input.attr('type') + 'Name: ' + input.attr('name') + 'Value: ' + input.val());
}
);
If you have additional types, edit the selector:
var formElements = new Array();
$("form :input").each(function(){
formElements.push($(this));
});
All form elements are now in the array formElements.
For the record: The following snippet can help you to get details about input, textarea, select, button, a tags through a temp title when hover them.
$( 'body' ).on( 'mouseover', 'input, textarea, select, button, a', function() {
var $tag = $( this );
var $form = $tag.closest( 'form' );
var title = this.title;
var id = this.id;
var name = this.name;
var value = this.value;
var type = this.type;
var cls = this.className;
var tagName = this.tagName;
var options = [];
var hidden = [];
var formDetails = '';
if ( $form.length ) {
$form.find( ':input[type="hidden"]' ).each( function( index, el ) {
hidden.push( "\t" + el.name + ' = ' + el.value );
} );
var formName = $form.prop( 'name' );
var formTitle = $form.prop( 'title' );
var formId = $form.prop( 'id' );
var formClass = $form.prop( 'class' );
formDetails +=
"\n\nFORM NAME: " + formName +
"\nFORM TITLE: " + formTitle +
"\nFORM ID: " + formId +
"\nFORM CLASS: " + formClass +
"\nFORM HIDDEN INPUT:\n" + hidden.join( "\n" );
}
var tempTitle =
"TAG: " + tagName +
"\nTITLE: " + title +
"\nID: " + id +
"\nCLASS: " + cls;
if ( 'SELECT' === tagName ) {
$tag.find( 'option' ).each( function( index, el ) {
options.push( el.value );
} );
tempTitle +=
"\nNAME: " + name +
"\nVALUE: " + value +
"\nTYPE: " + type +
"\nSELECT OPTIONS:\n\t" + options;
} else if ( 'A' === tagName ) {
tempTitle +=
"\nHTML: " + $tag.html();
} else {
tempTitle +=
"\nNAME: " + name +
"\nVALUE: " + value +
"\nTYPE: " + type;
}
tempTitle += formDetails;
$tag.prop( 'title', tempTitle );
$tag.on( 'mouseout', function() {
$tag.prop( 'title', title );
} )
} );
jQuery keeps a reference to the vanilla JS form element, and this contains a reference to all of the form's child elements. You could simply grab the reference and proceed forward:
var someForm = $('#SomeForm');
$.each(someForm[0].elements, function(index, elem){
//Do something here.
});
var $form_elements = $("#form_id").find(":input");
All the elements including the submit-button are now in the variable $form_elements.
Just to add another way:
$('form[name=' + formName + ']').find(':input')
This is my favorite function and it works like a charm for me!
It returns an object with all for input, select and textarea data.
And it's trying to getting objects name by look for elements name else Id else class.
var All_Data = Get_All_Forms_Data();
console.log(All_Data);
//-------------------------------------------
function Get_All_Forms_Data(Element)
{
Element = Element || '';
var All_Page_Data = {};
var All_Forms_Data_Temp = {};
if(Element != '')
{
$(Element).find('input,select,textarea').each(function(i){
All_Forms_Data_Temp[i] = $(this);
});
}
else
{
$('input,select,textarea').each(function(i){
All_Forms_Data_Temp[i] = $(this);
});
}
$.each(All_Forms_Data_Temp,function(){
var input = $(this);
var Element_Name;
var Element_Value;
if((input.attr('type') == 'submit') || (input.attr('type') == 'button'))
{
return true;
}
if((input.attr('name') !== undefined) && (input.attr('name') != ''))
{
Element_Name = input.attr('name').trim();
}
else if((input.attr('id') !== undefined) && (input.attr('id') != ''))
{
Element_Name = input.attr('id').trim();
}
else if((input.attr('class') !== undefined) && (input.attr('class') != ''))
{
Element_Name = input.attr('class').trim();
}
if(input.val() !== undefined)
{
if((input.attr('type') == 'radio') || (input.attr('type') == 'checkbox'))
{
Element_Value = jQuery('input[name="'+Element_Name+'"]:checked').val();
}
else
{
Element_Value = input.val();
}
}
else if(input.text() != undefined)
{
Element_Value = input.text();
}
if(Element_Value === undefined)
{
Element_Value = '';
}
if(Element_Name !== undefined)
{
var Element_Array = new Array();
if(Element_Name.indexOf(' ') !== -1)
{
Element_Array = Element_Name.split(/(\s+)/);
}
else
{
Element_Array.push(Element_Name);
}
$.each(Element_Array,function(index, Name)
{
Name = Name.trim();
if(Name != '')
{
All_Page_Data[Name] = Element_Value;
}
});
}
});
return All_Page_Data;
}
JQuery serialize function makes it pretty easy to get all form elements.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/55xnJ/2/
$("form").serialize(); //get all form elements at once
//result would be like this:
single=Single&multiple=Multiple&multiple=Multiple3&check=check2&radio=radio1
Try something like this:
<form action="/" id="searchForm">
<input type="text" name="s" placeholder="Search...">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
<!-- the result of the search will be rendered inside this div -->
<div id="result"></div>
<script>
// Attach a submit handler to the form
$( "#searchForm" ).submit(function( event ) {
// Stop form from submitting normally
event.preventDefault();
// Get some values from elements on the page:
var $form = $( this ),
term = $form.find( "input[name='s']" ).val(),
url = $form.attr( "action" );
// Send the data using post
var posting = $.post( url, { s: term } );
// Put the results in a div
posting.done(function( data ) {
var content = $( data ).find( "#content" );
$( "#result" ).empty().append( content );
});
});
</script>
Note the use of input[]
all inputs:
var inputs = $("#formId :input");
all buttons
var button = $("#formId :button")
