I'm finding a strange behaviour in a popup FORM when I click on a BUTTON (that operates on some object using a JS code), and on a INPUT (used for submit): in both cases, the form closes, and it is an unexpected action. Probably is due to something very easy and common that I'm not fixing, but i can't find it.
This is the HTML interested part:
<form name="contactform" id="contactform" class="contact-form">
<div class="contactform-container">
<a href="" class="closeButton"></a>
<div class="common">
<label for="name">Nome</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
</div>
<div class="common">
<label for="name">Cognome</label>
<input type="text" id="familyName" name="familyName" />
</div>
<div class="common">
<label for="email">e-mail</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
</div>
<div class="message">
<label for="message">Annotazioni</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" class="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="passRow">
<fieldset class="validatePass">
<div class="formGroup">

</div>
</form>
</div>
The BUTTON that create problem is the one with class reloadButton.
The INPUT is the one with id submit.
I think css aren't necessary.
Regarding the JS part:
let formEls = formPopup.querySelectorAll('.common, .message, .note');
let charCode = [];
const refreshButton = document.querySelectorAll('.reloadButton')[0];
const passInput = document.getElementById('password');
window.onload = function () {
document.querySelector('#reserveBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
formPopup.classList.add('active');
});
getCode();
formPopup.querySelector('.closeButton').addEventListener('click', function () {
cleanForm();
formPopup.classList.remove('active');
});
formPopup.addEventListener('click', function (ev) {
if (ev.target.id == 'contactform-bg') {
cleanForm();
formPopup.classList.remove('active');
}
});
refreshButton.addEventListener('click', function (ev) {
charCode = [];
getCode();
});
passInput.addEventListener('keyup', function () {
passVal = passInput.value;
checkPass(passVal);
});
};
let cleanForm = function () {
formEls.forEach((item, i) => {
item.classList.remove('typing');
});
// console.log(window['contactform-bg'].innerHTML);
// console.log(document.getElementById('contactform').innerHTML);
// console.log(document.contactform.innerHTML);
document.contactform.name.value = '';
document.contactform.familyName.value = '';
document.contactform.email.value = '';
document.contactform.message.value = '';
passInput.value = '';
};
function getCode() {
let sChars = 'A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,!,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,)';
let arrayChars = sChars.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i <= 3; i++) {
// trova un indice casuale tra 0 e la lunghezza dell'array
RefIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * arrayChars.length);
// assegna il carattere estratto dall'array (strana indicazione del font come giapponese(??)
let char = arrayChars[RefIndex];
charCode[i] = char.toLowerCase;
createImgCaptcha(char, i);
}
}
I avoid to add the createImgCaptcha function because it just create CANVAS and doesn't have any impact on the matter.
Is there anyone able to explain to me why the FORM closes? I tried following the steps in JS but found no errors.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, I found the problems and fixed them. There were little mistakes one different from another. So, I list them:
<a href="" class="closeButton"></a> to <a href="#" class="closeButton" type="text/html"></a>, adding also the type attribute for greater completeness.<button>Click to do something</button> is a default submit button. I didn't know... so, I just added the right type attribute to solve, in this way: <button class="reloadButton" type="button">.function stopEvent(event) { event.preventDefault();}.Now, everything works correctly. Sorry if I bored you with these silly things; either way, it's always best to learn from mistakes.
