This is the markup I use:
<input type="text" form="myform" name="inp1" />
<form id="myform" name="myform">
...
</form>
Now I realized that it does not work for old IE and therefore I am searching for a HTML 5 polyfill.
Anyone aware of a certain polyfill which covers this HTML5 feature?
CodeColorist
I wrote this polyfill to emulate such feature by duplicating fields upon form submission, tested in IE6 and it worked fine.
(function($) {
/**
* polyfill for html5 form attr
*/
// detect if browser supports this
var sampleElement = $('[form]').get(0);
var isIE11 = !(window.ActiveXObject) && "ActiveXObject" in window;
if (sampleElement && window.HTMLFormElement && (sampleElement.form instanceof HTMLFormElement || sampleElement instanceof window.HTMLFormElement) && !isIE11) {
// browser supports it, no need to fix
return;
}
/**
* Append a field to a form
*
*/
$.fn.appendField = function(data) {
// for form only
if (!this.is('form')) return;
// wrap data
if (!$.isArray(data) && data.name && data.value) {
data = [data];
}
var $form = this;
// attach new params
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
$('<input/>')
.attr('type', 'hidden')
.attr('name', item.name)
.val(item.value).appendTo($form);
});
return $form;
};
/**
* Find all input fields with form attribute point to jQuery object
*
*/
$('form[id]').submit(function(e) {
// serialize data
var data = $('[form='+ this.id + ']').serializeArray();
// append data to form
$(this).appendField(data);
}).each(function() {
var form = this,
$fields = $('[form=' + this.id + ']');
$fields.filter('button, input').filter('[type=reset],[type=submit]').click(function() {
var type = this.type.toLowerCase();
if (type === 'reset') {
// reset form
form.reset();
// for elements outside form
$fields.each(function() {
this.value = this.defaultValue;
this.checked = this.defaultChecked;
}).filter('select').each(function() {
$(this).find('option').each(function() {
this.selected = this.defaultSelected;
});
});
} else if (type.match(/^submit|image$/i)) {
$(form).appendField({name: this.name, value: this.value}).submit();
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
The polyfill above doesn't take into account the Edge browser. I have amended it to use feature detection, which I have tested in IE7+, Edge, Firefox (mobile/desktop), Chrome (mobile/desktop), Safari (mobile/desktop), and Android browser 4.0.
(function($) {
/**
* polyfill for html5 form attr
*/
// detect if browser supports this
var SAMPLE_FORM_NAME = "html-5-polyfill-test";
var sampleForm = $("<form id='" + SAMPLE_FORM_NAME + "'/>");
var sampleFormAndHiddenInput = sampleForm.add($("<input type='hidden' form='" + SAMPLE_FORM_NAME + "'/>"));
sampleFormAndHiddenInput.prependTo('body');
var sampleElementFound = sampleForm[0].elements[0];
sampleFormAndHiddenInput.remove();
if (sampleElementFound) {
// browser supports it, no need to fix
return;
}
/**
* Append a field to a form
*
*/
$.fn.appendField = function(data) {
// for form only
if (!this.is('form')) return;
// wrap data
if (!$.isArray(data) && data.name && data.value) {
data = [data];
}
var $form = this;
// attach new params
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
$('<input/>')
.attr('type', 'hidden')
.attr('name', item.name)
.val(item.value).appendTo($form);
});
return $form;
};
/**
* Find all input fields with form attribute point to jQuery object
*
*/
$('form[id]').submit(function(e) {
// serialize data
var data = $('[form='+ this.id + ']').serializeArray();
// append data to form
$(this).appendField(data);
}).each(function() {
var form = this,
$fields = $('[form=' + this.id + ']');
$fields.filter('button, input').filter('[type=reset],[type=submit]').click(function() {
var type = this.type.toLowerCase();
if (type === 'reset') {
// reset form
form.reset();
// for elements outside form
$fields.each(function() {
this.value = this.defaultValue;
this.checked = this.defaultChecked;
}).filter('select').each(function() {
$(this).find('option').each(function() {
this.selected = this.defaultSelected;
});
});
} else if (type.match(/^submit|image$/i)) {
$(form).appendField({name: this.name, value: this.value}).submit();
}
});
});
})(jQuery);
I improved patstuart's polyfill, such that:
a form can now be submitted several times, e.g. when using the target attribute (external fields were duplicated previously)
reset buttons now work properly
Here it is:
(function($) {
/**
* polyfill for html5 form attr
*/
// detect if browser supports this
var SAMPLE_FORM_NAME = "html-5-polyfill-test";
var sampleForm = $("<form id='" + SAMPLE_FORM_NAME + "'/>");
var sampleFormAndHiddenInput = sampleForm.add($("<input type='hidden' form='" + SAMPLE_FORM_NAME + "'/>"));
sampleFormAndHiddenInput.prependTo('body');
var sampleElementFound = sampleForm[0].elements[0];
sampleFormAndHiddenInput.remove();
if (sampleElementFound) {
// browser supports it, no need to fix
return;
}
/**
* Append a field to a form
*
*/
var CLASS_NAME_POLYFILL_MARKER = "html-5-polyfill-form-attr-marker";
$.fn.appendField = function(data) {
// for form only
if (!this.is('form')) return;
// wrap data
if (!$.isArray(data) && data.name && data.value) {
data = [data];
}
var $form = this;
// attach new params
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
$('<input/>')
.attr('type', 'hidden')
.attr('name', item.name)
.attr('class', CLASS_NAME_POLYFILL_MARKER)
.val(item.value).appendTo($form);
});
return $form;
};
/**
* Find all input fields with form attribute point to jQuery object
*
*/
$('form[id]').submit(function(e, origSubmit) {
// clean up form from last submit
$('.'+CLASS_NAME_POLYFILL_MARKER, this).remove();
// serialize data
var data = $('[form='+ this.id + ']').serializeArray();
// add data from external submit, if needed:
if (origSubmit && origSubmit.name)
data.push({name: origSubmit.name, value: origSubmit.value})
// append data to form
$(this).appendField(data);
})
//submit and reset behaviour
$('button[type=reset], input[type=reset]').click(function() {
//extend reset buttons to fields with matching form attribute
// reset form
var formId = $(this).attr("form");
var formJq = $('#'+formId);
if (formJq.length)
formJq[0].reset();
// for elements outside form
if (!formId)
formId = $(this).closest("form").attr("id");
$fields = $('[form=' + formId + ']');
$fields.each(function() {
this.value = this.defaultValue;
this.checked = this.defaultChecked;
}).filter('select').each(function() {
$(this).find('option').each(function() {
this.selected = this.defaultSelected;
});
});
});
$('button[type=submit], input[type=submit], input[type=image]').click(function() {
var formId = $(this).attr("form") || $(this).closest("form").attr("id");
$('#'+formId).trigger('submit', this); //send clicked submit as extra parameter
});
})(jQuery);
after reading thru the docs of webshim it seems it has a polyfill for that.
I take some time to send an update for this polyfill because it doesn't work with MS Edge.
I add 2 line to fix it :
var isEdge = navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Edge");
if (sampleElement && window.HTMLFormElement && sampleElement.form instanceof HTMLFormElement && !isIE11 && isEdge == -1) {
// browser supports it, no need to fix
return;
}
I made a vanilla JavaScript polyfill based on the above polyfills and uploaded it on GitHub: https://github.com/Ununnilium/form-attribute-polyfill. I also added a custom event to handle the case when submit is processed by JavaScript and not directly by the browser. I tested the code only shortly with IE 11, so please check it yourself before use. The polling should maybe be replaced by a more efficient detection function.
function browserNeedsPolyfill() {
var TEST_FORM_NAME = "form-attribute-polyfill-test";
var testForm = document.createElement("form");
testForm.setAttribute("id", TEST_FORM_NAME);
testForm.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
var testInput = document.createElement("input");
testInput.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
testInput.setAttribute("form", TEST_FORM_NAME);
testForm.appendChild(testInput);
document.body.appendChild(testInput);
document.body.appendChild(testForm);
var sampleElementFound = testForm.elements.length === 1;
document.body.removeChild(testInput);
document.body.removeChild(testForm);
return !sampleElementFound;
}
