I have a form inside a modal structure where I recollect some info from the user, after that I want to submit that info into a post request so I can process it in python.
The problem is that I need to check first if the user actually put the info, so I won't get empty values.
I'm using .preventDefault() in order to stop the submission and check the values. The program posts fine as long as I don't use the preventDefault, and actually doesn't post when using it.
The problem is that after passing all the conditions, it should post, but is not doing it and I don't know why.
Here is the code of the form:
<form id="forminout" action="/in_out" method="post">
<div class="modal fade bd-example-modal-lg" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" id="incomeModal">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title">Add your new income</h5>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" id="new_incomes">
<div style="padding:3%">
<input step=".01" type="number" class="form-control input-sm" name="incoming" min="0" placeholder="0">
<select class="incomselect" name="incomeselects" style="height:30px;">
<option selected disabled>This income is coming from?</option>
<option value="rent">Rents</option>
<option value="salary">Salary</option>
<option value="invest_reveneu">Investments reveneus</option>
<option value="others">Others</option>
</select>
<select class="incomdate" name="incomedate" style="height: 30px;">
<option selected disabled>Incoming date</option>
<option value=5>1 - 5</option>
<option value=10>6 - 10</option>
<option value=15>11 - 15</option>
<option value=20>16 - 20</option>
<option value=25>21 - 25</option>
<option value=31>26 - 31</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="addinbutt" type="submit">Save changes</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Which is working fine because the post is actually happening.
And here is the "simplified" code of the post request:
$("document").ready(function(){
$("form").on("submit", function(e){
errors = 0;
e.preventDefault();
if (errors==0)
{
document.getElementById("#forminout").submit();
}
})
})
In this case the errors==0 condition is only used as a simplification, supposing that all the actual conditions I need to check are ok.
I just can't get it to post.
solution : write this.submit() or e.target.submit() instead of doc.getElById().submit()
$("document").ready(function(){
$("#forminout").on("submit", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// ur conditions ...
this.submit();
})

</form>you can even write this based on e parameter :
$("document").ready(function(){
$("#forminout").on("submit", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
// ur conditions ...
e.target.submit();
})
})
