Question

So I’ve made this search that does what its supposed to do front-end wise. However, when submitting I’d like the query to ignore commas.

Right now I’m using commas to make a comma separated search. The whole thing is, when I submit; the comma’s are included and thus messes up my search values.

Is there any way to ignore comma’s upon submit?

Example: Searching [Example][Test] will actually return Example,Test.

I’ve made a fiddle here

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

var firster = true;
//capture form submit
$('form.nice').submit(function(e){
    if(firster){
         // if its the first submit prevent default
         e.preventDefault();
         // update input value to have no commas
         var val = $('input').val();
         val = val.replace(/,/g, ' ');
         $('input').val(val);
         // let submit go through and submit
         firster = false;
         $(this).submit();
    }
});
