I have a simple form and i want the submit button not to work for the conditions i give in the pattern, but if i leave it blank the submit works. how can i make the pattern not to accept it if it is blank?
<form action="test.php" method="POST">
Enter user name:
<input type="text" name="username" pattern="[A-Za-z0-9]{1,20}">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
I thought the {1,20} is enought but it seems it's not.
HTML has the required attribute to accomplish this. If you set any input to be required, modern browsers won't let you submit the form if those fields are empty.
<input type="text" name="username" required="required" pattern="[A-Za-z0-9]{1,20}">
To prevent errors from showing on load, you can not use the HTML5 required attribute. You can use JavaScript. For example:
if ( $('#form-password').val() === "" )
{
e.preventDefault();
}
Using HTML Patterns to match at least one:
<input type="text" name="username" pattern=".{1,}">

I'm trying to validating a form submit just if, in just ONE field, the user enters his First Name and Last Name.
I know: in other countries, it's not like this, but I'm doing for Brazil, so its First Name and Last Name.
What I have tried:
<input type="text" name="fullname" pattern="^.* .*$">
But it didn't work.
The field needs a First name (minimum 2 characters, no limit), a SPACE, then the last name with minimum 1 characters and no limit too.
Examples:
TRUE:
João da Silva
João S
João S.
Joao S. Pedro
FALSE:
Joao
João
Joao (just a space)
I hope you can understand me.
Thank you so much.
Actual code: does not work any validation:
<form action="http://xxxxxxxxx" method="POST">
* Nome Completo: <input type="text" name="fullname" required="required" pattern="^(\w\w+)\s(\w+)$" /><br>
* Telefone: <input type="tel" name="mobilephone"/><br>
* E-Mail: <input type="email" name="emailaddress1"><br>
* Informe melhor horário para contato: <input type="text" name="crmcol_sugestaodecontato"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="crmcol_novocontato" value="64340000"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="crmcol_origemdoregistro" value="643400005"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Enviar" class= "botaoenvio" onclick="this.disabled=true;this.value='Enviando, aguarde um momento..';this.form.submit();">
This pattern looks for 2 or more "word characters", a single space, then 1 or more following word-characters:
pattern="^(\w\w+)\s(\w+)$"
The automatic client-side validation using pattern="" won't happen unless the input is inside a <form>, you should also add the required boolean attribute too to avoid empty (but valid) input.
I've made a JSFiddle demonstrating it here: https://jsfiddle.net/3r4Luwnp/
Update:
I created a JSFiddle with your updated markup and it looks like your custom script in your onclick handler calls form.submit() directly, this will skip client-side input validation.
If you change the button to <button type="submit"> and remove the onclick JavaScript then it works fine:

I'm trying to setup a pattern validator with the following regex :
^(((0|[1-9]\d{0,2})(\.\d{2})?)|())$
Try Regex here
That should allow me to get 1 to 3 digits, and then a decimal part of maximum 2 digits, and that should allow empty values as well.
The problem is that either my input is of type text and the validator is rejecting my input (any input since it's not considered as a digit I believe); or the input is of type number and without step="any" my input value is rejected if I have a decimal input (while the regex seems to be working on simpler values), and with step="any" it seems my regex is not working at all, allowing whatever value because of the step.
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" #bottleUpdatePriceForm="ngForm" >
<div class="form-group" *ngFor="let bottle of bottleArrayToUpdate; let i = index">
<label for="bottlePrice">{{bottle.name}} : </label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" name="bottlePrice" autocomplete="off" step="any"
[pattern]="pricePattern"
[(ngModel)]="bottleArrayToUpdate[i].price">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
<!--(click)="bottleUpdatePriceForm.reset();"-->
</form>
EDIT : adding my component code for regex binding
private pricePattern = /^(((0|[1-9]\d{0,2})(\.\d{2})?)|())$/;
Be it text or number I don't really care, I just need the pattern to work on my input... Any insight or something I am missing ?
Here is a working example in a plunkr : https://plnkr.co/edit/znVaS7?p=info
You can switch the input line in the plunkr to see the different cases :
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="bottlePrice" autocomplete="off"
<input type="number" class="form-control" name="bottlePrice" autocomplete="off" step="any"
Unrelated to the main issue : Is there any way to call the form reset from the component rather than directly in the template ?
==> bottleUpdatePriceForm.reset();
I was wondering, this is just for bonus.
Thanks a lot
This is not a direct solution for the not working regex, but this works with the same purpose. So remove the pattern and just change your input with max and min instead:
<input type="number" class="form-control" name="bottlePrice"
autocomplete="off" step="any" max="999" min="0"
[(ngModel)]="bottleArrayToUpdate[i].price">
I've built a simple form to open up a JIRA ticket based on user input. I've almost got all of it, except I don't know how to use the form element in the POST request. Here's what I have so far:
<form target="_blank" action='http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10517&issuetype=3&summary=Change+application+name+to+{{new_name}}&reporter={{request.user}}&priority=5&assignee=xxx' method='post'>
<label for="new_name">New name: </label>
<input id="new_name" type="text" name="new_name" value="{{item.name}}">
<input type="submit" value="Create JIRA ticket">
</form>
So I just need the value the user puts in the new_name element to be passed into the appropriate spot in the URL. How do I access that?
It sounds like you're getting POST and GET mixed. POST data would not be included in the URL itself, but rather in the request payload itself.
So, your URL would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa
The payload would be separately put in the body of the HTTP request.
If you need to use a GET method, the URL itself would be the same as above, but the URL that eventually gets hit would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?new_name=WHATEVERVALUE.
If you need additional key-value pairs to get passed, just add them as hidden fields and pass them that way.
Your code, edited:
<form target="_blank" action='http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa' method='post'> <!-- ARE YOU SURE IT'S A POST REQUEST AND NOT A GET? -->
<label for="new_name">New name: </label>
<input id="new_name" type="text" name="new_name" value="{{item.name}}">
<input type="hidden" value="10517" name="pid">
<input type="hidden" value="3" name="issuetype">
<input type="hidden" value="5" name="priority">
<input type="hidden" value="Change application name to {{new_name}}" name="summary">
<input type="hidden" value="{{request.user}}" name="reporter">
<input type="hidden" value="xxx" name="assignee">
<input type="submit" value="Create JIRA ticket">
</form>
Makes sense?
I'm trying the pattern attribute for the first time, and I can't get it to work (my browser does support it, though).
Right now I have:
input type="text" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}" name="formName"
The first problem is that is doesn't notify me if it's blank; the second problem is that if I do type in something, it won't accept it. I want it to accept alphanumeric characters and be exactly 6 characters is length. I tried it with forward slashes and a few other variations.
As Duikboot already pointed out, the right way to do it is:
<input type="text" name="formField" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}" required>
The required attribute causes the validation to fail, when the field is empty.
The pattern attribute defines the regex to test against, when the field is not empty.
(Your initial pattern seems to work fine.)
More info can be found here.
This is simple enough so as not to require a demo, but nonetheless you can find one here.
Works for me here : http://jsfiddle.net/barbuslex/nR6yg/
<form>
<input type="text" pattern="[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}" name="formName" />
<input type="submit" value="OK" />
</form>
I use Google Chrome
You simply need to add the required attribute to your tag, which will notify the user if they attempt to send the form with that very field blank.
<input type="text" pattern="[a-zA-z0-9]{6}" name="formName" required>
Try this code its working perfectly
<html>
<body>
<form action="demo_form.asp">
Country code: <input type="text" name="country_code" pattern="[A-Za-z]{3}" title="Three letter country code">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Enter invalid country code and click submit button. Then You can get a message (title="Three letter country code")
I have two different forms on my home page: one for logins and one for registrations. As you can see from the code, the forms have inputs with different names:
<h3> Log In </h3>
<form action="/login/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="password" name="login_password" id="id_login_password" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Login</button>
</form>
<h3> Sign Up <small>(It's free!)</small></h3>
<form action="/register/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_register_username" type="text" name="register_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="text" name="register_email" id="id_register_email" />
<input type="password" name="register_password" id="id_register_password" />
<input type="password" name="register_password2" id="id_register_password2" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Which renders to this in Chrome:
What can be causing this? And how can I fix it?
That's a really good question and I'm sorry to say I have no idea. Did
you try to register once and also login at least once? If so, that
"might" be what's causing it as browsers come complete with the
"autoremember" feature.
Assuming autofill is enabled (it is by default), the reason it autofills the rest is because chrome's autofill server works on regular expressions, not exact matches.
All the regular expressions used for the various fields can be found in autofill_regex_constants.cc.utf8.
From there you can see that the expression for email field is "e.?mail" and for username it is "user.?name|user.?id|nickname|maiden name|title|prefix|suffix"
It appears a similar question has been asked before:
What is the correct way to stop form input boxes auto-completing?
There is an autocomplete attribute you can use in form fields.
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" autocomplete="off" />
