在表单提交后显示隐藏的div

Question

I save the data using POST method from a form. After the data has been saved, page reloaded, I want to show a hidden div in the page.

onsubmit="showHide(this); return false;" 

shows the specified div but does not save data.

any ideas?

LE:

to make it more complicated: the form that trigges the page reload is on the div that i want to re-show. initialy i make the div visible with:

<a class="articleLink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick='$("#ModAdd<?php echo $rrows['id_']; ?>").show("slow");'></a>

Answer 1

No data will be sent since you have a return false; in your onSubmit .

If you want the user to stay on the same page, you'll need Ajax . Else, you have to show your div on the page that receives the data from your form.

Answer 2

You have to display the div after the reload.
onsubmit will display it right away (on the same page). So check if the $_POST is set in php after reloading the site and then display the div

Example

<?php
if (isset($_POST)):
?>
    <div>Saved successfully</div>
<?php
endif;
?>

Answer 3

You might try something like this after reloading the page, instead of onsubmit :

$POST = $POST['myPost'];
      $Message = '<script type="text/javascript">';
      $Message .= 'document.getElementById("' . $IDName . '").style.display="block";'; // Show the hidden DIV
      $Message .= 'document.getElementById("' . $IDName . '").innerHTML="' . $POST . '";'; // Output POST value
      $Message .= '</script>';
echo $Message;
