Trying to change action on clicking certain button.
On clicking certain button, I changed Submit button text (submit -> update).
Current action is like
<form method ='POST' action=''>
// do something
</form>
On changing to update text, I want change this action to url_for using javascript instead ''.
And inside url_for I need to insert variable.
Tried code 1.
- Give url string to action.
<script>
var sel = 'space';
var new_url = "{{ url_for('abc', selected='" + sel + "') }}"
</script>
Using console.log(new_url);
I get /abc/%20%29sel%29%20
What I need was /abc/space
The main problem is that jinja does not allow variables in script section. Looked up stack to solve this problem. But cant find a way to solve this problem..
Tried code 2.
- Using
$.post()
This executed on everything. ex) onload window, on click submit button etc.
Could anyone help me with changing action in js using variables?
