onclick= event not submitting form

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

I need this form to submit and post the values of export_type except it is not.

The problem is with the submit button.

Code:




<input type="button" name="export" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:window.location=\''.append_sid('export_grades.php?action=export&ARG1='.$cid.'&ARG2='.$qid).'\'">';

It doesn't really submit anything. I still need to be able to pass these other values in the URL but also need to post the new values.

I think I need a onclick="this.form.submit();" but don't know how to implement.

Here is the relevant code.

Code:

   echo    "<form name='exportgrades' action='".$_SERVER['php_self']."' method='POST'>"; 


//-- BEGIN quiz_report --> 


echo"<tr>"


   .         "<td class='row3' height='25'>"


   .            "<span class='cattitle'>Export Grades</span>"


   .         "</td>"


   .      "</tr>"


   .      "<tr>"


   .         "<td height='23' valign='middle'>" 


   .            "<table width='80%'  cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' border='0' align='left'>";


//-- BEGIN info -->


echo"<tr>"


    ."<td><select name=\"export_type\""


   ."<option value=\"IE\" selected>--Select Type--</option>"


   ."<option value=\"IE\">Initial Export</option>"


   ."<option value=\"AA\">Adjusted Answers</option>"


   ."<option value=\"LG\">Late Grades</option>"


   ."<option value=\"CE\">Corrupt Export</option>"


   ."</select> Select Type of Export"


   ."</td>"   


   ."</tr>"   


    ."<tr>"


   .                  "<td class='cattitle' align='left' valign='middle'> Exam Name: $quizname</td>"


   .               "</tr>"


   .                  "<td class='gen' align='left'> Once exams are exported they become locked.  This is so they cannot be exported again unless they are explicitly unlocked and re-exported.  Flight administrators only need to unlock the last known export.  This proccess will produce a comma delimited txt file to be imported into MedSIS.  The importation of these exam grades is not finished until the administrator completes the process in MedSIS.   </td>"


   .               "</tr>"   


   .               "</table>"


   .               "</td>"


   .               "</tr>"


   .               "</tr>"                  


   .               "<tr>"   


   .                        '<td class="gen" align="left" valign="middle"><input type="button" name="export" value="Submit" onclick="javascript:window.location=\''.append_sid('export_grades.php?action=export&ARG1='.$cid.'&ARG2='.$qid).'\'">'; 


      


    echo                    "</tr>";    


   echo               "</form>";

How can I merge

Code:

onClick="javascript:form.submit();"

with

Code:




onclick="javascript:window.location=\''.append_sid('export_grades.php?action=export&ARG1='.$cid.'&ARG2='.$qid).'\'">'

Your form is posting data, but your on-click just bypasses it. What you want to do is a proper form submission with hidden variables

Code:




<input type="hidden" name="action" value="export">


<input type="hidden" name="ARG1" value="' . $cid . '">


<input type="hidden" name="ARG2" value="' . $qid . '">


<input type="submit" name="export" value="Submit">

Doing it that way how could I append_sid() so I still have user authentication?

I changed it to this.

Code:

echo "<form name='exportgrades' action='".$_SERVER['php_self']."' method='POST'>"


    ."<tr>"


    ."<td><select name=\"export_type\">"


   ."<option value=\"IE\" selected>--Select Type--</option>"


   ."<option value=\"IE\">Initial Export</option>"


   ."<option value=\"AA\">Adjusted Answers</option>"


   ."<option value=\"LG\">Late Grades</option>"


   ."<option value=\"CE\">Corrupt Export</option>"


   ."</select> Select Type of Export"


   ."</td>"   


   ."</tr>"   


    ."<tr>"


   .                  "<td class='cattitle' align='left' valign='middle'> Exam Name: $quizname</td>"


   .               "</tr>"


   .                  "<td class='gen' align='left'> Once exams are exported they become locked.  This is so they cannot be exported again unless they are explicitly unlocked and re-exported.  Flight administrators only need to unlock the last known export.  This proccess will produce a comma delimited txt file to be imported into MedSIS.  The importation of these exam grades is not finished until the administrator completes the process in MedSIS.   </td>"


   .               "</tr>"   


   .               "</table>"


   .               "</td>"


   .               "</tr>"


   .               "</tr>"                  


   .               "<tr>"    


   .'<td class="gen" align="left" valign="middle">'


   .'<input type="hidden" name="action" value="export">'


   .'<input type="hidden" name="ARG1" value="' . $cid . '">'


   .'<input type="hidden" name="ARG2" value="' . $qid . '">'


   .'<input type="submit" name="export" value="Submit">'      


    .                    "</tr>"    


   .               "</form>";

However when the form submits to itself nothing happens.

At the top of the page I have

Code:




$mode = ( isset($_GET['action']) ) ? ($_GET['action']) : ( ( isset($_POST['action']) ) ? ($_POST['action']) : '') ;


$type = ( isset($_GET['export_type']) ) ? ($_GET['export_type']) : ( ( isset($_POST['export_type']) ) ? ($_POST['export_type']) : '') ;


$cid =  ( isset($_GET['ARG1']) ) ? ($_GET['ARG1']) : ( ( isset($_POST['ARG1']) ) ? ($_POST['ARG1']) : 0) ;


$qid =  ( isset($_GET['ARG2']) ) ? ($_GET['ARG2']) : ( ( isset($_POST['ARG2']) ) ? ($_POST['ARG2']) : 0) ;


$year = ( isset($_GET['ARG3']) ) ? ($_GET['ARG3']) : '';

Which should the send the page to

Code:




} else if (($mode == 'export') &&(( $userdata['user_level'] == ADMIN ))){





echo "<pre>";


print_r($_POST);


print_r($_GET);


echo "</pre>";


exit();

So I can see what is posted but the page just refreshes.

It depends on how append_sid is written. My guess is to stick another hidden variable sid
