I have a form with n multiple choice questions implemented as radio buttons (using jquery-ui
). I would like to ensure that all the questions have been answered before allowing the user to submit the form. I am running into two issues while performing this validation:
- On initial load, the submit button does not respond to clicks or mouseovers until all questions have a response selected as desired. However, it still appears to be clickable (I would like this to be faded out)
- If the reset button is pressed, the submit button is faded out (as desired) but I am unable to re-enable the submit button once the form has been completed.
This is my first time using javascipt/jquery. What is going wrong? How do I achieve the desired functionality across both cases?
Here is the pertinent javascript portion:
$(document).ready(function(){
$( '.button' ).button ();
$( '.radio-set' ).buttonset ();
$( 'input[type="submit"]' ).attr( 'disabled', true );
var progress = 0;
var total_fields = $('.response').length
/* Track Progress function*/
$('input[type="radio"]').click( function(){
progress = $('input[type="radio"]:checked').length
$(".progressbar").progressbar( {value: ( progress / total_fields ) * 100} )
console.log(progress, total_fields)
if( progress == total_fields ){
console.log( "Hello from inside the conditional" )
$( 'input[type="submit"]' ).removeAttr( 'disabled' );
}
});
$( 'input[type="reset"]' ).click( function(){
progress = 0
$( ".progressbar" ).progressbar( {value: 0} )
$( 'input[type="submit"]' ).attr( 'disabled', true );
});
});
Example of one of the questions within the form (with bacon filler text):
<div class="model_feature">
<span class="feature_name" title="M1">M1</span>
<span class="response radio-set">
<label for="M1-1">1</label>
<input type="radio" name="M1" id="M1-1" value="1" class="feature-input" autocomplete="off" />
<label for="M1-0">0</label>
<input type="radio" name="M1" id="M1-0" value="0" class="feature-input" autocomplete="off" />
<label for="M1-Unk">Unknown</label>
<input type="radio" name="M1" id="M1-Unk" value="Unknown" class="feature-input" autocomplete="off" />
</span <!-- close response -->
<span class="feature_description">Chicken spare ribs capicola beef brisket hamburger. Kielbasa filet mignon tail ribeye ball tip ground round.</span>
</div> <!-- close model_feature -->
Input and Reset buttons for completeness:
<input type="reset" class="button" id="reset-button" />
<input type="submit" class="button" id="submit-button" disabled="disabled" />
