    Hi,

    I’m wanting to have my S&F form submit when the input value changes via javascript.

    For example:

    
$("#button").on("click", function(){
   $(".sf-input-text").val("Desired Search Term");
});

    When the value is changed via javascript, nothing happens. The input has to be manually typed. Is there a way to trigger the submit event after the value is changed? I tried using .trigger(“input) with no luck.

    Thanks

    Add this to the script:

    $('.searchandfilter').submit()

    $(‘.searchandfilter’).submit() does successfully submit the form. However, the search term does not carry over to the search template page. It simply returns results as if the search term was empty.

    Are you trying to send a search term from a theme search box (such as one might find in a header/nav bar) to our search form on a results page?

    No, I’m using an S&F widget. I’ve put together an example site here:http://holmestuned-001-site3.itempurl.com/

    Click on the ‘Custom Search Term’ button to fill the S&F search bar and submit the form. Notice that the search term is not being saved.

    You can manually type into the search box and everything works fine.

    The original code may need to be:

    $("#button").on("click", function(){
   $(".sf-input-text").val("Desired Search Term").change();
});

    I am not sure if you would then need to submit, so try it without at first.

    Unfortunately, that’s not working. I tried both ways as you mentioned. Adding $(‘.searchandfilter’).submit() does the same with no search term being carried over to the results page.

    I have referred this thread to our developer, Ross, for his input.

    Hi Nathan

    That’s odd indeed… I tested on our demo site, and it works fine.

    So I thought, maybe your theme is doing something different with the input field / js events… so I tried to “blur” the field before submitting, and it seems to work?

    jQuery( '#search-filter-form-15 .sf-field-search input[type="text"]' ).val("test");
jQuery( '#search-filter-form-15 .sf-field-search input[type="text"]' ).blur();
jQuery( '#search-filter-form-15' ).submit();

    Thanks

    Hi Ross,

    I added your code to my test site. The results are the same, it’s submitting the form but the search term is not being stored.
