Redirect Form After Validated

Question

I'm trying to redirect the form on https://sodacitysolar.com/consultation.html to https://sodacitysolar.com/thanks.html once the form is validated. I've traced the code and believe the solution lies somewhere below, which is the form.js file:

$(function()
{
    function after_form_submitted(data) 
    {
        if(data.result == 'success')
        {
            $('form#reused_form').hide();
            $('#success_message').show();
            $('#error_message').hide();
        }
        else
        {
            $('#error_message').append('<ul></ul>');

            jQuery.each(data.errors,function(key,val)
            {
                $('#error_message ul').append('<li>'+key+':'+val+'</li>');
            });
            $('#success_message').hide();
            $('#error_message').show();

            //reverse the response on the button
            $('button[type="button"]', $form).each(function()
            {
                $btn = $(this);
                label = $btn.prop('orig_label');
                if(label)
                {
                    $btn.prop('type','submit' ); 
                    $btn.text(label);
                    $btn.prop('orig_label','');
                }
            });

        }//else
    }

    $('#reused_form').submit(function(e)
      {
        e.preventDefault();

        $form = $(this);
        //show some response on the button
        $('button[type="submit"]', $form).each(function()
        {
            $btn = $(this);
            $btn.prop('type','button' ); 
            $btn.prop('orig_label',$btn.text());
            $btn.text('Sending ...');
        });


                    $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: 'handler.php',
                data: $form.serialize(),
                success: after_form_submitted,
                dataType: 'json' 
            });        

      });   
});

I've tried to replace this code with the code below but it's not working:

$('form#reused_form').hide();
            $('#success_message').show();
            $('#error_message').hide();



function redirect()
{
    window.location.href="thanks.html";
}

Any chance you guys could point me in the right direction?

EDIT:

Here's the code I was trying to use:

$(function()
    {
        function after_form_submitted(data) 
        {
            if(data.result == 'success')
            {
                 function redirect()
    {
        window.location.href="thanks.html";
    }
            }
            else
            {
                $('#error_message').append('<ul></ul>');

                jQuery.each(data.errors,function(key,val)
                {
                    $('#error_message ul').append('<li>'+key+':'+val+'</li>');
                });
                $('#success_message').hide();
                $('#error_message').show();

                //reverse the response on the button
                $('button[type="button"]', $form).each(function()
                {
                    $btn = $(this);
                    label = $btn.prop('orig_label');
                    if(label)
                    {
                        $btn.prop('type','submit' ); 
                        $btn.text(label);
                        $btn.prop('orig_label','');
                    }
                });

            }//else
        }

        $('#reused_form').submit(function(e)
          {
            e.preventDefault();

            $form = $(this);
            //show some response on the button
            $('button[type="submit"]', $form).each(function()
            {
                $btn = $(this);
                $btn.prop('type','button' ); 
                $btn.prop('orig_label',$btn.text());
                $btn.text('Sending ...');
            });


                        $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: 'handler.php',
                    data: $form.serialize(),
                    success: after_form_submitted,
                    dataType: 'json' 
                });        

          });   
    });

Answer 1

You created a function block, that will do nothing unless you actually call that specific function.

For example:

function foo() {
  console.log('bar');
}

Here, I have a simple function which would print bar in my Console. However, this function above will do nothing unless I first call it:

foo() // bar

After calling it in my code I will then see bar in my console.

You can brush up your function knowledge here :

Generally speaking, a function is a "subprogram" that can be called by code external (or internal in the case of recursion) to the function. Like the program itself, a function is composed of a sequence of statements called the function body. Values can be passed to a function, and the function will return a value.

Solution

But to make your code work, simply add:

//...
redirect(); // calls the redirect function
// ...

Completed code

This is what this should look like:

 $(function () { function after_form_submitted(data) { if (data.result == 'success') { $('form#reused_form').hide(); $('#success_message').show(); $('#error_message').hide(); // call the function redirect(); } else { $('#error_message').append('<ul></ul>'); jQuery.each(data.errors, function (key, val) { $('#error_message ul').append('<li>' + key + ':' + val + '</li>'); }); $('#success_message').hide(); $('#error_message').show(); //reverse the response on the button $('button[type="button"]', $form).each(function () { $btn = $(this); label = $btn.prop('orig_label'); if (label) { $btn.prop('type', 'submit'); $btn.text(label); $btn.prop('orig_label', ''); } }); } //else } $('#reused_form').submit(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); $form = $(this); //show some response on the button $('button[type="submit"]', $form).each(function () { $btn = $(this); $btn.prop('type', 'button'); $btn.prop('orig_label', $btn.text()); $btn.text('Sending ...'); }); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: 'handler.php', data: $form.serialize(), success: after_form_submitted, dataType: 'json' }); }); }); function redirect() { window.location.href = 'thanks.html'; }
