Wordpress search form action
Question
I need to do a custom search function in my wordpress page, some javascript codes needed to put into header and use wordpress search form to call that function.
Under the theme folder of wordpress, I have added some javascript codes between tag in header.php
<head>
<script>
var test123456 = function() {
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
}
</script>
</head>
The default theme searchform.php was:
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
I would like to ask how do I call that javascript function by searchform.php ?
my form part:
<form action="javascript:test123456()">
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="" id="curlinput">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
many thanks and appreciated !!

change your code to
<form onsubmit="test123456()">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>

You can put form line this.
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="javascript:void(0);" onsubmit="test123456();">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
OR like below
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="javascript:test123456()">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
If you also want to set action file then try below code.
<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" onsubmit="test123456();">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for:</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
