Auto Submit

[mark048]

I had a code to automatically submit a page without the user clicking "Submit." I cannot find the code anymore. Does anyone have this code?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Here is a code sample to autosubmit a form.

<script> function f_submit() { document.getElementById("caspioform").submit(); } window.onload = f_submit; </script>

Cheers, Barbara

Thanks!

how do you impliment this code?

You can place the code inside an HTML block on the DataPage.

Best,

This works well for me, unless I have a problem (e.g., unique constraint violation). Then I get an endless loop that requires the user to stop or close the window, losing context.

Can something be added to the script to check for a caspio error to break the loop?

Hello jlwilliford, 

 

Created simple JavaScript that may satisfy your needs.

 

pre-requisites:

- In Styles the class "cbFormError" should be set (non empty). This could be check under: Styles >> Edit Style >> Click "Show Advanced options" on 1st wizard step >> Forms/Details (3rd wizard step) >> Errors and Messages >> "Source" tab

- Your Web Form do not results with ending message (step "Destination and Triggers" when editing DataPage; radio option selected other than "Display this message")

1) In the header of your WebForm paste modified script 

2) In the footer you paste the checking for errors on page: I did not test all the browsers, but think it should work as there are common JavaScript functions used.

 

Please tell if this helped.

The above described code was not working in case DataPage is deployed using embedded deploy code. I have modified JavaScript of footer (IsError function) in order to be working in embedded DataPage.

Done, after autosubmit, because is not close page in all broswer, i put this code.  

 

<script> function f_submit() { document.getElementById("caspioform").submit(); } window.onload = f_submit; </script>  

<script type="text/javascript"> 

  <!-- function redirect(){     

     window.location = "../test.html" } 

  --> 

</script> 

<script language="javascript"> <!-- setTimeout("redirect();",700) --> </script>

This code works for me in IE  

<script> function f_submit() { document.getElementById("caspioform").submit(); } window.onload = f_submit; </script>

but in Firefox it loops over and over. (I put it in the footer in the destination form).  

I tried the above suggestions, but I couldn't get them to work.  

I would be really grateful if you have any suggestions as to how I could solve this.  

 

Thank you  

Bjorn

I found a solution. 

 

I redirect to the form from another form through a querystring. 

 

In the querystring I defined a variable that I then used in an if statement as below: 

<script> 

  function f_submit() 

  { 

        document.getElementById("caspioform").submit(); 

  }  

  if('[@ItemID]' !='') 

  { 

        window.onload = f_submit;  

  } 

  else 

  { 

        window.close(); 

  } 

</script>

 

The window doesn't actually close in Firefox either, but that's OK.

Is it possible to auto submit whenever a value changes?
