Does anybody have any idea why this is not allowing the form to submit? I'm attempting to use Rotten Tomatoes API with a user search function.
FORM IN PHP PAGE
<form name="myform" action="" method="GET"><h3>Search for a movie here:</h3><br>
<input type="text" id="inputbox" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!">
JAVASCRIPT
$('form[name="myform"]').submit(function() {
$('#films table').empty(); //removes previous search results before adding the new ones.
var apikey = "frceg2d5djxezaedgm3qq94h";
var baseUrl = "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0";
var moviesSearchUrl = baseUrl + '/movies.json?apikey=' + apikey;
var query = form.inputbox.value; //uses the value from the input box as the query search
// sends the query
$.ajax({
url: moviesSearchUrl + '&q=' + encodeURI(query),
dataType: "jsonp",
success: searchCallback // if successful, run searchCallback function
});
// receives the results
function searchCallback(data) {
$('#films table').append('Found ' + data.total + ' results for ' + query);
var movies = data.movies;
$.each(movies, function(index, movie) {
$('#films table').append('<tr><td width="70" rowspan="2"><a href="' + movie.links.alternate +
'" title="Click here to view film information for ' + movie.title + '."><img class="ajaximage" src="'
+ movie.posters.thumbnail + '" /></a></td><td class="ajaxfilmlisttitle"><h3><a href="' + movie.links.alternate +
'" title="Click here to view film information for ' + movie.title + '.">' + movie.title + '</a></h3>Release year: '
+ movie.year + '</td></tr><tr><td class="ajaxfilmlistinfo">Audience Score: ' + movie.ratings.audience_score +
'%<br>' + 'Cinema Release Date: ' + movie.release_dates.theater +
'<br>Runtime: ' + movie.runtime + ' minutes</td></tr>');
});
};
});
I tested with this code and it works:
<form name="myform" action="" method="GET">
<h3>Search for a movie here:</h3>
<input type="text" id="inputbox" value="" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go!" />
</form>
<script>
$(function(){
$('form[name="myform"]').on('submit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#films table').empty(); //removes previous search results before adding the new ones.
var apikey = "frceg2d5djxezaedgm3qq94h";
var baseUrl = "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0";
var moviesSearchUrl = baseUrl + '/movies.json?apikey=' + apikey;
var query = $('#inputbox').val(); //uses the value from the input box as the query search
// sends the query
$.ajax({
url: moviesSearchUrl + '&q=' + encodeURI(query),
dataType: "jsonp",
success: searchCallback // if successful, run searchCallback function
});
// receives the results
function searchCallback(data) {
$('#films table').append('Found ' + data.total + ' results for ' + query);
var movies = data.movies;
$.each(movies, function(index, movie) {
$('#films table').append('<tr><td width="70" rowspan="2"><a href="' + movie.links.alternate +
'" title="Click here to view film information for ' + movie.title + '."><img class="ajaximage" src="'
+ movie.posters.thumbnail + '" /></a></td><td class="ajaxfilmlisttitle"><h3><a href="' + movie.links.alternate +
'" title="Click here to view film information for ' + movie.title + '.">' + movie.title + '</a></h3>Release year: '
+ movie.year + '</td></tr><tr><td class="ajaxfilmlistinfo">Audience Score: ' + movie.ratings.audience_score +
'%<br>' + 'Cinema Release Date: ' + movie.release_dates.theater +
'<br>Runtime: ' + movie.runtime + ' minutes</td></tr>');
});
};
});
});
</script>
There were a couple of problems:
form.inputbox.value
did not work, change it to $('#inputbox').val()
e.preventDefault()
to prevent the from from being submitted });
$('form[name="myform"]').submit(function() {
to $('form[name="myform"]').on('submit', function(e) {
