I have a aspx page that I need to call without going directly on that page.
I have tried to make POST from form but it opens this action url in browser.
<form method="POST" action="http://mysite/actionpage.aspx">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
You could use curl if you're on a *nix system.
Here is a reference on how to post data to a page. The result will be returned through the command line.
What is the curl command line syntax to do a post request?
Here is the syntax for reference:
curl -d "param1=value1¶m2=value2" http://example.com/resource.cgi
or
curl -F "fileupload=#filename.txt" http://example.com/resource.cgi
If jQuery is allowed to use in your case, You may use jQuery ajax to call that page
$("form").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.post("yoursecondpage",function(data){
//do whatever with the response from that page
});
});
You can do it via ajax.
For example, if you add a script reference to jQuery things will get much easier, and you can do the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function postIt()
{
$.post(
"http://mysite/actionpage.aspx"
, function(data)
{
// data was returned from the server
alert("data posted in the background");
} );
}
</script>
The processing you be done via background.
Your final HTML woul be :
<form method="POST" action="http://mysite/actionpage.aspx">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="postIt();" />
</form>
I haven't tested , but looks like you are navigating to .aspx means server page, i.e. you need to use runat="Server" in your tags like this

I have a simple problem yet it seems impossible to solve in AMP!!
I have a simple form with an input and a submit button like this:
<form id="myform">
<input type="text" id="srchInput"/>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
All I want is to be able to concat a static url to the input value and redirect the page to the result, when the form is submitted.
For instance if the user inputs: "Hello" and submits the form, I would like to redirect him to a page like "MY/STATIC/URL/Hello".
Is there any way to achieve this in amp?
One way of doing this is by setting the AMP-Redirect-To header in the response (See AMP-form-redirection). Send the user input on form submission, and then generate your desired url from your API endpoint and set AMP-Redirect-To header in your response to the generated URL.
Another way of doing it would be by using navigateTo(url=STRING) action (See AMP Actions & Events) on for the form submit event. In this case you have to store the value in input to a state by using events like input-throttled, and then use url substitution in the navigateTo url string to append amp-state value.
The first method is guaranteed to work.
The second method should work in theory, but I was unable to figure out how to get AMP-STATE value by url substitution. The code for the same should be something like:
<form id="myform" on="submit:AMP.navigateTo(url="MY/STATIC/URL/AMP_STATE(endValue)>")">
<input type="text" id="srchInput" on="input-throttled:AMP.setState({ endValue : event.value })" />
<button type="submit"> Submit </button>
</form>
If you can figure out how to substitute amp-state value to the url this should work. Let me know if it helped.
The easiest way to do this is via a GET action:
<head>
...
<script async custom-element="amp-form" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-form-0.1.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="GET" action="MY/STATIC/URL" target="_top">
<input type="text" id="srchInput" name="srcInput" value="test">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
The form submit will navigate to /MY/STATIC/URL?srcInput=test.
I am a newbie in AdobeCQ5. I am facing some trouble in posting form. Here is my Structure -
/apps/<myproject>/components/mytestcomponent
mytestcomopnent.jsp has following code -
<form id="myForm" action="<%=resource.getPath()+".html" %>">
<input type="text" id="t1" class="input-small" placeholder="Temprature F" />
<input type="text" id="t2" class="input-small" placeholder="Temprature C" readonly/>
<button type="button" id="cbtn" class="btn">Convert</button>
</form>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#cbtn').click(function () {
var URL = $("#myForm").attr("action");
alert(URL);
var t1=$("#t1").val();
var t2=$("#t2").val();
$.ajax({
url: URL,
data:{'t1':t1},
type:"post",
success: function(data, status) {
$("#t2").val(data);
},
error: function( xhr, txtStat, errThrown ) {
alert("ajax error! " + txtStat + ":::" + errThrown);
}
});
});
});
</script>
This is giving my response code 200 (Success) but the output is not desired. My mycomponent.POST.jsp has following code -
<%
// TODO add you code here
String t1=request.getParameter("t1");
%>
<%= t1 %>
It gives the following output
Content modified /content/imobile/en/jcr:content/social.html

Please help to resolve this.
The JSP file handling the POST method for your component should be named POST.jsp rather than mycomponent.POST.jsp.
Please notice that if you intercept all POST requests to your component, you won't be able to edit it on the author instance using a dialog (as the dialog simply POSTs data to the component URL). To avoid it, consider using a custom selector (like form). Your form should look be declared like this:
<form id="myForm" action="${resource.path}.form.html">
and the script handling POST request should be called form.POST.jsp.
The second important thing is that you should use Java classes rather than JSP files to store business logic. In this case it means that the form.POST.jsp script can be replaced with a Sling servlet declared as follows:
#SlingServlet(
resourceTypes="myproject/components/mytestcomponent",
methods="POST",
selectors="form")
I've tried to read similar postings. Couldn't get a clue on my code about why mine is still going to the php page displaying messages and not showing on the original html page.
Here is the code snippet.
In javascript
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#myForm").submit(function(){
var url = $(this).attr("action");
var str=$(this).serialize();
$.post(url,str,function(msg){$('msg_div').show();$('msg_div').html(msg);});
return false;
});
});
in html
<form name="myForm" action="abc.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
<input type="submit" name="Submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" onClick="return validateForm()"/>
in PHP
if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers)) echo "<p>hank you for your query.</p>";
else {
echo "<p>Error: email failed."; die('Error!');
}
What has gone wrong with this code? Thank you in advance.
Have a good day and All the best,
Allison
I see that you tried to stop the behaviour of submitted forms (with return false, which seems fine), I did this once too but don't now in which project that was, so I don't have any sample right now.
Maybe this helps (but didn't test it yet):
$("#myForm").submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr("action");
var str=$(this).serialize();
$.post(url,str,function(msg){$('msg_div').show();$('msg_div').html(msg);});
return false;
});
The e.preventDefault(); should stop the submit process. How does your validateForm() look like?
I am writing a form using jQuery and encounter some difficulties.
My form works fine in static page (html).
However, when I use the form in dynamic page(aspx), the form does not behave correctly.
I cannot append items to the form and call the form.serialize function.
I think the error occurs when a form is inside another form (.aspx code needs to enclosed by a form tag).
What should I do?
Let me give a simplified version of my code:
<form name="Form1" method="post" id="Form1">
some content
<form name="form_inside">
<input name="fname" type="text" />
</form>
</form>
jQuery code:
$("#form_inside").append($("<input type='text' name='lname'>"));
When the user submits,
$("#form_inside").serialize();
// it should return fname=inputfname&lname=inputlname
I want to append element to "form_inside" and serialize the form "form_inside".
The form "Form1" is required by the aspx and I cannot remove it.
Could you just serialize the fields inside Form1?
I don't know anything about ASP, but it seems that you're not doing a straightforward "submit" anyway - so does it really matter if the fields aren't within their own separate form?
You could possibly group the fields you're interested in within a <div> or something, e.g.:
<div id="my-interesting-fields">
...
</div>
then substitute #form-inside with #my-interesting-fields where appropriate - is that helpful at all?
Edit
OK, a quick glance at the jQuery code suggests that serialize() depends on the form's elements member.
I suppose you could hack this in a couple of different ways:
Copy all elements from #my-interesting-fields into a temporary <form> that you dynamically create outside Form1, then call serialize() on that. Something like:
$("#Form1").after("<form id='tmp-form'></form>").
append("#my-interesting-fields input");
$("tmp-form").serialize();
Or, create an elements member on #my-interesting-fields, e.g.
$("#my-interesting-fields").elements = $("#my-interesting-fields input");
$("#my-interesting-fields").serialize();
I haven't tried either of these, but that might give you a couple of ideas. Not that I would necessarily recommend either of them :)
Because you can't have nested <form> tags you'll need to close off the standard dotnet form tag like below:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#form_inside").append($("<input type='text' name='lname'>"));
$("#submitBtn").click(function() {function() {
var obj = $("#form_inside *");
var values = new Array();
obj.each(function(i,obj1) {
if (obj1.name && !obj1.disabled && obj1.value) {
values.push(obj1);
};
});
alert(jQuery.param(values));
}); });
});
</script>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<div id="form_inside" name="form_inside"> <input name="fname" type="text" /><input type="button" id="submitBtn" /></div>
</div>
</form>
jQuery.param on a array of form elements will give you the same results as .serialize()
so you get all elements in div $("#form_inside *) then filter for elements then on the result jQuery.param will give you exactly what you need
I have a standard aspx page with which I need to add another standard HTML form into and have it submit to another location (external site), however whenever I press the submit button the page seems to do a post back rather than using the sub-forms action url.
A mock up of what the form relationships is below. Note in the real deployment the form will be part of a content area of a master page layout, so the form needs to submit independantly from the master page form.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<form id="subscribe_form" method="post" action="https://someothersite.com" name="em_subscribe_form" >
<input type="text" id="field1" name="field1" />
<input id="submitsubform" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
It's an interesting problem. Ideally you only want the 1 form tag on the page as other users have mentioned. Potentially you could post the data via javascript without having 2 form tags.
Example taken from here, modified for your needs. Not 100% sure if this will work for you but I think this is how you'll have to approach it.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function postdata()
{
var fieldValue = document.getElementById("field1").value;
postwith("http://someothersite.com",{field1:fieldValue});
}
function postwith (to,p) {
var myForm = document.createElement("form");
myForm.method="post" ;
myForm.action = to ;
for (var k in p) {
var myInput = document.createElement("input") ;
myInput.setAttribute("name", k) ;
myInput.setAttribute("value", p[k]);
myForm.appendChild(myInput) ;
}
document.body.appendChild(myForm) ;
myForm.submit() ;
document.body.removeChild(myForm) ;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<div>
<input type="text" id="field1" name="field1" />
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmitSubscribe" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClientClick="postdata(); return false;" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
If javascript is not a viable option - you can use .Net's HttpWebRequest object to create the post call in code behind. Would look something like this in the code behind (assuming your text field is an asp textbox:
private void OnSubscribeClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string field1 = Field1.Text;
ASCIIEncoding encoding=new ASCIIEncoding();
string postData="field1="+field1 ;
byte[] data = encoding.GetBytes(postData);
// Prepare web request...
HttpWebRequest myRequest =
(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://someotherwebsite/");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
myRequest.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myRequest.ContentLength = data.Length;
Stream newStream=myRequest.GetRequestStream();
// Send the data.
newStream.Write(data,0,data.Length);
newStream.Close();
}
If you add an ASP.NET button to the form, and set its PostBackUrl property to the external site, then all the form data will be posted to that URL.
There is a very nice tricky solution for this problem.
You can insert a </form> tag before your <form> to close the asp.net form which causes the problem. Do not forget to add a <form> tag after your html form. It may cause the editor to give you an exception, but do not worry, it will work.
Nested forms are not possible in HTML according to the W3C. You can achieve your intended result using JavaScript or with jQuery as explained by Peter on a blog called My Thoughts.
In my experience, Appetere Web Solutions has the best solution. Simple and elegant...and it's not a hack. Use the PostBackUrl.
I just tried it and everything works as expected. I didn't want to use Javascript because I didn't want to include it in my Master Page for every page that uses it.
I had the same situation as Ross - except that my input types were all of the "hidden" varitey.
Cowgod's answer got me thinking about nested forms within my .aspx page. I ended up "un-nesting" my 2nd form OUT of the main .aspx form ( ) and placed it (along with my js script tags) just under the body tag - but before the main .aspx form tag.
Suddenly, everything was submitting as it was supposed to. Is this a hack?
ASP.NET allows you to have multiple forms on one page, but only one can be runat=server. However I don't think you can nest forms at all.
You might have to make a new master page, one without a form tag on it so the form will work on that one page only. This is not a good solution, unless you can place the form outside the master pages' form, and use javascript to submit the second form, but that's hardly better. There really is no good solution for what you are trying to achieve, and if so I'd like to hear it. I don't think you can do a POST call from a code-behind, can you? I'm sure there's some way. But that's probably the only solution: from code.
