Trying to trigger the submit functionality from JQuery. what am I doing wrong? In theory, this should work. I've tried about 4 different ways though.
I have tried
$('input#submit').trigger(click);
$( form:first ).submit();
$( form:first ).trigger(submit);
$('form#databaseActionForm').submit();
NOTHNG HAS WORKED (YET)?!
CODE:
<html lang=en>
<head>
<title>Database Management</title>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=UTF-8 />
<script src=http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.0.min.js integrity=sha256-cCueBR6CsyA4/9szpPfrX3s49M9vUU5BgtiJj06wt/s= crossorigin=anonymous></script>
<style>
table td { border: 1px solid black; }
table td:first-child { text-align: left; }
</style>
<script>
<!--
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#erase').click(function() {
if (confirm(Are you sure that you want to ERASE ALL DATA from the database?))
{
$('#buttonTypePressed').val(erase);
$('input#submit').trigger(click); <!-- HERE -->
}
});
$('#update').click(function() {
var appID = $('#updateAppID').val();
var field = $('#fieldName').val();
var value = $('#newValue').val();
if (appID == null || appID == ) {
alert(You must enter the ID number of the entry you wish to modify.);
$('#updateAppID').focus();
}
else if (field == null || field == ) {
alert(You must choose which field you wish to modify.);
$('#fieldName').focus();
}
else if (value == null || value == ) {
alert(You must choose the new value you wish to appear in the database.);
$('#newValue').focus();
}
else {
$('#buttonTypePressed').val(update);
$('input#submit').trigger(click); <!-- HERE -->
}
});
$('#delete').click(function() {
var appID = $('#deleteAppID').val();
if (appID == null || appID == ) {
alert(You must enter the ID number of the entry you wish to delete.);
$('#deleteAppID').focus();
}
else {
$('#buttonTypePressed').val(delete);
$('input#submit').trigger(click); <!-- HERE -->
}
});
});
-->
