I'm creating a login form and in that if any input is wrong then i want to stay on the same page and notify the client to enter the correct input I want to stay on this page http://localhost:8080/loginpage/ but after every click i'm redirected to http://localhost:8080/loginpage/?UserName=UserName&pword=&ConfirmPassword=&Email=Email&FirstName=First+Name&LastName=Last+Name&cars=male&Signup=Signup .
I have written a code for this but it does not seem to work.
if(t!==0)
{
var er="Email-id already exists";
window.location.reload(false);
document.getElementById("nemail").value=er;
document.getElementById("username").value=username;
document.getElementById("pword").value="";
document.getElementById("confpwd").value="";
document.getElementById("fname").value=fname;
document.getElementById("lname").value=lname;
document.getElementById("gender").value=gender;
}
I have tried to use several other methods like
window.location.replace('/loginpage/');
window.location.href="/loginpage/index.html";
But none of them works. Please help!

Reset to default 1There are two ways to prevent a form to submit.
- Set form
onsubmit="return false". - Register a submit event on a from. In the callback call
event.preventDefault();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h2>1 way to prevent form to submit via onclick attribute</h2>
<form action="#submit-from-1-way" onsubmit="return validate(this)"><!--set onsubmit="return false"-->
<input name="value"/>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<h2>2 way to prevent form to submit via submit event</h2>
<form id="form" action="#submit-from-2-way"><!--set onsubmit="return false"-->
<input name="value"/>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<script>
console.log(location.href+'#'+location.hash+'?'+location.search);
function validate(form) {
return $(form).find('input').val();
}
$('#form').submit(function (e) {
if (!validate(this)) e.preventDefault();
});
</script>You can use preventDefault() on the click event for a given html object. This will prevent the browser from taking the default action on a specific HTML object.
For example to prevent actoin on a link:
<body>
<a href="http://www.google." id="clickMe">Click Me</a>
<script>
function dontGo(event) {
event.preventDefault();
}
document.getElementById("clickMe").addEventListener("click",dontGo);
</script>
</body>
