I have a form which contains widgEditor (http://www.themaninblue.com/
experiment/widgEditor/) elements. This script adds onsubmit calls to
the form to clean itself up before submitting values.
The problem arises when I try to submit the form through javascipt
with $(form).submit();. When this happens it does not fire any of the
onSubmit functions which widg added. This works fine if i submit the
form through a normal submit button.
This is the code in widg (I do not want to change this, just for
reference).
theForm.observe(''submit'', function(e) {
How can I get my JS to execute the onsubmit actions?

That is correct, submit observers are not called when you call form.submit(). If you need to be able to call form.submit() as well as trap the user submission mechanism, you need to factor out your code into something you can call from both places. -Fred On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 10:28 AM, louis w <louiswalch-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I have a form which contains widgEditor (http://www.themaninblue.com/ > experiment/widgEditor/<http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/widgEditor/>) > elements.

Thanks Fred. Do you know of a way to submit a form through js and have it honor the observers? I would prefer not to alter the 3rd party code. This could be problematic for future upgrades.

Try sending the form with $(''submit_button'').click() --
new-school
meets old-school.

I''d guess you could fire the event with the browser Event API (element.fire in Prototype tries to iron out the browser issues), but I''m not sure, I haven''t tried it.

Nice one. .click() works. Thanks.

Thanks.If you have an inline JavaScript handler for the submit event, then you can fire it by just calling onsubmit like a method. Given: <form onsubmit="doStuff()" id="my-form"> ... </form> $(''my-form'').onsubmit() Think of it as a named method just waiting to be invoked. -justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
