Jquery get all input from specific form

Hands-on form inputs

Understanding the handling of form inputs is vital for web developers as it forms the bedrock of user interaction.

Looping over inputs

jQuery's .each() method allows us to magnificently work with each individual input, be it to extract, modify or perform any other forms of wizardry.

Example:

$('#FormId').find(':input').each(function() {
  let type = $(this).attr('type');
  let name = $(this).attr('name');
  let value = $(this).val();
  // Now, the magic begins!
});


With this approach, you won't ever miss out on any input type. They all get a ticket to the show.

Embracing form diversity

Forms come in all shapes and sizes, like cookies in a cookie jar (yum!). Thankfully, we can still round up all our little data munchkins, irrespective of how they're dressed up inside the form.

Example:

$('#FormId input, #FormId select, #FormId textarea').each(function() {
  // Each one of you is special to me!
});


Halt! Who goes there?

At times, we need to guard the form gates, preventing submission unless specific conditions are met. The hero of this tale is e.preventDefault(), ably supported by the .on() method.

Example:

$('#FormId').on('submit', function(e) {
  if ($(this).find('input[required]').val().trim() === '') {
    e.preventDefault();
    // Wait right there buddy! You forgot something.
  }
  // Onto the sunset, the rest of the submit handling rides...
});


Making forms dynamic

Forms can be more than just static data receptacles. Equip your forms with interactivity and feedback using jQuery.

Animate on validation

What if forms could dance? Better yet, if they could break dance when validation fails!

Example:

if ($('#InputId').val().trim() === '') {
  $('#InputId').animate({backgroundColor: "#ffcccc"}, 500);
  // Dance little input, dance!
}


Interactive forms

Let's paint forms differently based on what users do.

Example:

$('#FormId :input').on('change', function() {
  if ($(this).val().trim() !== '') {
    // Input senses tingling! Let's act.
  }
});
