Adjusting code block

JavaScript

Hi everyone,

I have a form on a website where the form action is as follows:

<form id="catwebformform22024" name="catwebformform22024" method="post">

I’m using the following code to prevent spam bots on the form so it fills in the action url on keypress.

$( "#catwebformform22024" ).on( "keypress", function( event ) {
            var action = $("#catwebformform22024").attr("action");
            if ( typeof(action) === "undefined" || action === null || action === "" ) {
                var url = "/FormProcess.aspx"
                var params = "?WebFormID=100340&amp;OID=17489470&amp;OTYPE=1&amp;EID=0&amp;CID=0";
                $( "#catwebformform22024" ).attr("action",url + params);
            }
        });

I want to do something similar on another form on a new website.

The form action currently looks like this:

<form action="https://www.mysite.com./contacts/index/post/" id="contactForm" method="post">

To try and get it to work I added a name attribute and value to the form element as follows:

<form action="https://www.mysite.com./contacts/index/post/" id="contactForm" name="contactForm" method="post">

Then changed the code to the following:

$( "#contactForm" ).on( "keypress", function( event ) {
            var action = $("#contactForm").attr("action");
            if ( typeof(action) === "undefined" || action === null || action === "" ) {
                var url = "/FormProcess.aspx"
                var params = "?WebFormID=100340&amp;OID=17489470&amp;OTYPE=1&amp;EID=0&amp;CID=0";
                $( "#contactForm" ).attr("action",url + params);
            }
        });

The problem is I don’t know what the value for url and params should be.

I wondered if someone could help me out?

Would appreciate any advice.

I must be missing something, wouldn’t they be the path to the file that processes the form input and the parameters it needs?

Thanks for the reply. I have this sorted now.
