Can I intercept a form submit action and do some JavaScript function before sending it to POST or GET?
For example:
<form action="something.php" method="post">
<input type="text" value="Some data"/>
<input ... ... ... />
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
Is there a way I can call a JavaScript function before calling action when I click the submit button?
javascriptFunction();
// Now go to form action...
<form action="something.php" method="post" onsubmit="return myFunction()">
<input type="text" value="Some data"/>
<input ... ... ... />
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
// Do something here
// If you want to submit form
return true;
// If you don't want to submit
return false;
}
</script>
Try to add an onclick event to the button
onclick="yourfunction()"
and submit the form at the end of the function
document.getElementById("yourform").submit()
