I have a question that I'm pretty sure is basic, but can't seem to find the answer to it anywhere. I have an html page with two buttons. Ideally, I would have them show/do two different things (both are popup windows), but I find that I can't even get the second button to work when they share the exact same code.
Here's the code (I've omitted the css):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf=8"/>
<center>
<nav>
<a href="#loginmodal" class="flatbtn" id="modaltrigger">LOGIN</a>
<a href="#contactmodal" class="flatbtn" id="modaltrigger">CONTACT</a>
</nav>
</center>
<!--script for checklogin-->
<script type = "text/javascript">
function checkLogin(){
//All this (index.php, validate.js, and login.php) taken from: /*http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15513031/authentication-using-ajax-php*/
var u = document.getElementById("username").value;
var p = document.getElementById("password").value;
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{// code for IE6, IE5
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function(){
if(xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200){
if(xmlhttp.responseText == u){
alert(':)');
}
else{
alert(':(');
}
}
}
xmlhttp.open("GET", "checkpw.php?u=" + u + "&p=" + p, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
function newUser(){
location.href = 'signup.php';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<!--Login-->
<div id="loginmodal" style="display:none;">
<logh1>Sign In</logh1>
<form id="loginform" name="loginform" method="post" action="index.html">
<label for="username"><h2>Username:</h2></label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="txtfield" tabindex="1">
<label for="password"><h2>Password:</h2></label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="txtfield" tabindex="2">
<div class="center">
<input type="submit" name="loginbtn" id="loginbtn" class="flatbtn-blu hidemodal" value="Log In" onclick="checkLogin(); return false;" tabindex="3">
<input type="submit" name="newusrbtn" id="create-user"" class="flatbtn-blu hidemodal" value="New User" onclick="newUser();" tabindex="4">
</div>
</form>
</div>
<!--Contact-->
<div id="contactmodal" style="display:none;">
<logh1>Sign In</logh1>
<form id="contactform" name="contactform" method="post" action="index.html">
<label for="username"><h2>Username:</h2></label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="txtfield" tabindex="1">
<label for="password"><h2>Password:</h2></label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="txtfield" tabindex="2">
<div class="center">
<input type="submit" name="loginbtn" id="loginbtn" class="flatbtn-blu hidemodal" value="Log In" onclick="checkLogin(); return false;" tabindex="3">
<input type="submit" name="newusrbtn" id="create-user"" class="flatbtn-blu hidemodal" value="New User" onclick="newUser();" tabindex="4">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</center>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#loginform').submit(function(e){
return false;
});
$('#contactform').submit(function(e){
return false;
});
$('#modaltrigger').leanModal({ top: 110, overlay: 0.45, closeButton: ".hidemodal" });
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
All I did was change the following for the second (contact) button: div id, form id, form name (all from <!--Login--> to <!--Contact-->). What I noticed when I loaded my page was that the first (login) button worked just fine, but when I closed its dialog box and pressed the second (contact) button, nothing would happen, but the following would show up on my url:
...login.php#contactmodal
(vs the original url of ...login.php)
Could someone please tell me what's going on, and why my second button isn't working? Also, because I'm a beginner, any opinions on style or syntax are appreciated as well.
<to get a<(but you don't need>for>; that one shows up unless it closes an HTML tag).
