I have a button that can be clicked that will bring up a popup box with one textfield. Whenever, I enter something and click "Add", I want it to be inserted into my database.
Currently, when I click "Add", it will insert into the DB, but it will not read the value that was entered. Therefore, a null value is simply entered. I get no errors that I can see, however in my JavaScript I do a console.log(type + " : " + value); and it returns sku_group-0 : in the logs. I also do a console.log(dict) and the output in the log is Object {} so it doesn't look like the entered value is being logged. I also am getting a successful row inserted message in the logs too so it definitely looks like it is just a matter of being able to get the values to be read so they can then be processed in the insert-group.php script.
So my question is how can I get it to read the value in the JavaScript so that it can be successfully entered into the database?
HTML of Popup Box:
<div id="dialog-form" title="Add Group">
<p class="validateTips">Please Add a Group</p>
<!-- Dialog box displayed after add row button is clicked -->
<form>
<fieldset>
<label for="sku_group">SKU Group</label>
<input type="text" name="group" id="group" class="text ui-widget-content ui-corner-all">
<!-- Allow form submission with keyboard without duplicating the dialog button -->
<input type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="-1" style="position:absolute; top:-1000px">
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
HTML of Add button:
<button class="create-user" id="insertButton">Add Group</button>
JavaScript:
$( function() {
var dialog, form,
sku_group = $( "#group" ),
allFields = $( [] ).add( sku_group ),
tips = $( ".validateTips" );
console.log(allFields);
function updateTips( t ) {
tips
.text( t )
.addClass( "ui-state-highlight" );
setTimeout(function() {
tips.removeClass( "ui-state-highlight", 1500 );
}, 500 );
}
function checkRegexp( o, regexp, n ) {
if ( !( regexp.test( o.val() ) ) ) {
o.addClass( "ui-state-error" );
updateTips( n );
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
function addGroup() {
var valid = true;
allFields.removeClass( "ui-state-error" );
// ----- Validation for each input in add row dialog box -----
valid = valid && checkRegexp( sku_group, /^[a-z]([0-9a-z_\s])+$/i, "Please enter a valid SKU Group name" );
console.log(allFields);
if ( valid ) {
var $tr = $( "#skuTable tbody tr td" ).eq(0).clone();
var dict = {};
var errors = "";
$tr.each(function(){
var type = $(this).attr('id');
var value = $(this).html();
console.log(type + " : " + value);
switch (type) {
case "group":
dict["SKU Group"] = value;
break;
}
});
$( "#skuTable tbody" ).append($tr);
dialog.dialog( "close" );
console.log(dict);
var request = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "insert-group.php",
data: dict
});
request.done(function (response, textStatus, jqXHR){
if(JSON.parse(response) == true){
console.log("row inserted");
} else {
console.log("row failed to insert");
console.log(response);
}
});
// Callback handler that will be called on failure
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
console.error(
"The following error occurred: "+
textStatus, errorThrown
);
});
// Callback handler that will be called regardless
// if the request failed or succeeded
request.always(function () {
});
}
return valid;
}
