I am making two separate forms, and would like them to be both linked to the same button. In HTML5, one can link the submit button outside of a form with only an id. Is there any way to include a class, or at least the same id to the parent button?
EDIT: I am NOT submitting any data, only validating if the checkboxes are checked. If a person tries to move onto the next page by clicking the submit button, they have to first tick all the checkboxes. I am working with a disclaimer that needs to be clicked, and nothing more.
Main parent button
<button form="checkedTrue" type="submit">Submit example</button>
Form1:
<form id= 'checkedTrue'>
Checkbox: <input type='checkbox' id='myCheck' name='test' required>
</form>
Form 2:
<form id= 'checkedTrue'>
Checkbox: <input type='checkbox' id='myCheck2' name='test2' required>
</form>
in HTML 5 you can simply attach any forms elements to your form,
by the use of form
attribute.
myForm.onsubmit = e =>
{
e.preventDefault();
console.clear();
console.log('cbx1 = ', myForm.cbx1.checked ? 'checked' : 'unchecked' );
console.log('cbx2 = ', myForm.cbx2.checked ? 'checked' : 'unchecked' );
}
<form id="myForm"></form>
<p>Checkbox1:<input type="checkbox" name="cbx1" form="myForm" ></p>
<p>Checkbox2:<input type="checkbox" name="cbx2" form="myForm" ></p>
<button type="submit" form="myForm" >Submit button</button>
