I know that this question was answered several hundred times, but I was faced with a load of potential solitons, but none of them seem to work in my case.
Below is my form and code for submitting the form. It runs on a PHP script. Now I know that the script itself is not the reason for submitting, since I tried the form manually, and it only submits once.
The first part of jQuery code is related to opening a lightbox and pulling values from the table below, I turned it on if for any reason this is a potential problem.
JQuery Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.form_error').hide();
$('a.launch-1').click(function() {
var launcher = $(this).attr('id'),
launcher = launcher.split('_');
launcher, launcher[1], $('td .'+launcher[1]);
$('.'+launcher[1]).each(function(){
var field = $(this).attr('data-name'),
fieldValue = $(this).html();
if(field === 'InvoiceID'){
$("#previouspaymentsload").load("functions/invoicing_payments_received.php?invoice="+fieldValue, null, function() {
$("#previouspaymentsloader").hide();
});
} else if(field === 'InvoiceNumber'){
$("#addinvoicenum").html(fieldValue);
}
$('#'+field).val(fieldValue);
});
});
$("#addpayment_submit").click(function(event) {
$('.form_error').hide();
var amount = $("input#amount").val();
if (amount == "") {
$("#amount_error").show();
$("input#amount").focus();
return false;
}
date = $("input#date").val();
if (date == "") {
$("#date_error").show();
$("input#date").focus();
return false;
}
credit = $("input#credit").val();
invoiceID = $("input#InvoiceID").val();
by = $("input#by").val();
dataString = 'amount='+ amount + '&date=' + date + '&credit=' + credit + '&InvoiceID=' + invoiceID + '&by=' + by;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "functions/invoicing_payments_make.php",
data: dataString,
success: function(result) {
if(result == 1){
$('#payment_window_message_success').fadeIn(300);
$('#payment_window_message_success').delay(5000).fadeOut(700);
return false;
} else {
$('#payment_window_message_error_mes').html(result);
$('#payment_window_message_error').fadeIn(300);
$('#payment_window_message_error').delay(5000).fadeOut(700);
return false;
}
},
error: function() {
$('#payment_window_message_error_mes').html("An error occured, form was not submitted");
$('#payment_window_message_error').fadeIn(300);
$('#payment_window_message_error').delay(5000).fadeOut(700);
}
});
return false;
});
});
Here is the html form:
<div id="makepayment_form">
<form name="payment" id="payment" class="halfboxform">
<input type="hidden" name="InvoiceID" id="InvoiceID" />
<input type="hidden" name="by" id="by" value="<?php echo $userInfo_ID; ?>" />
<fieldset>
<label for="amount" class="label">Amount:</label>
<input type="text" id="amount" name="amount" value="0.00" />
<p class="form_error clearb red input" id="amount_error">This field is required.</p>
<label for="credit" class="label">Credit:</label>
<input type="text" id="credit" name="credit" />
<label for="amount" class="label">Date:</label>
<input type="text" id="date" name="date" />
<p class="form_error clearb red input" id="date_error">This field is required.</p>
</fieldset>
<input type="submit" class="submit" value="Add Payment" id="addpayment_submit">
</form>
</div>
Hope someone can help as it drives me crazy. Thank.
