I was trying to add a second form to a javascript/jquery script that I wrote, however, when i implemented and began testing it, when I would try to send the firm form via a jquery post request, it would instead send a get request. I know that this has to do with the second form, because commenting the script out for the second form makes the site work again. Hopefully a pair of fresh eyes can help!(the loadpage function works as well)
The register function seems to be where the problem is:
//when the user first goes to the page
$(document).ready(function(){
var user = $("#username");
var pass = $("#password");
var submit = $("#submit");
//both of these methods work, I'm not sure if one is better than the other
//$("#submitbutton").click(function(event){
$("#loginform").on('submit', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.loginerror').remove();
$.post("login.php", {username:user.val(), password:pass.val()}, function(data){
if(!data)
{
$("#login").append("<h3 class='loginerror'>Incorrect Username or Password</h3>");
}
else
{
loadpage();
}
}, "json");
});
//if the user clicks the username prompt him with the login div
$("#registerbutton").click(function(event){
register();
});
});
function register()
{
$("#login").hide("slow");
$("#registerdiv").css("display", "block");
//initiate some variables
var regusername = $("#regusername");
var reg1password = $("#reg1password");
var reg2password = $("#reg2password");
var regemail = $("#regemail");
var regfirstname = $("#regfirstname");
var reglastname = $("#reglastname");
//TODO: check to make sure form is filled out properly
$("#registerform").on('submit', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
//send post request
$.post("register.php", {regusername:regusername.val(), password1:reg1password.val(), password2:reg2password.val(), email:regemail.val(), firstname:regfirstname.val(), lastname:reglastname.val()}, function(data){
if(!data)
$("#registerdiv").append("<h3> class='loginerror'>Server error, retry</h3>");
else
$("#registerdiv").hide("slow");
$("#loginiv").slidedown("slow");
}, "json");
}
And here's the HTML with the two forms:
<body>
<Div id="welcome"> Welcome </div>
<Div id="login">
<br><br><h2>Welcome to QuotesLib</h2>
<br><br><br><form id="loginform"> Username:
<input type = "text" name = "username" id ="username"> <br> Password:
<input type = "password" name = "password" id = "password"> <br>
<input type = "submit" name="submitbutton" id="submitbutton" class = "bluebutton">
</form>
<form><br><br><br>Don't have an account yet?<br><button id="registerbutton" name="registerbutton" href="register.html">Register Now</button>
</Div>
<Div id="registerdiv">
<br><br><h2>Sign Up For QuotesLib</h2>
<br><form id="registerform"> Username:
<input type ="text" id="regusername"> <br> Password:
<input type ="password" id="reg1password"> <br> Repeat Password:
<input type ="password" id="reg2password"> <br> First Name:
<input type ="text" id="regfirstname"> <br> Last Name:
<input type ="text" id="reglastname"> <br> email:
<input type ="text" id="regEmail"> <br>
<input type ="submit" id ="registersubmitbutton">
<br> </form>
</Div>
It would be super helpful if someone could give me an answer to this question!
