Troubleshooting the Issue: Laravel 8 Javascript Function Not Working with Form Tag

When developing web applications using Laravel 8, you may encounter a common issue: your Javascript function, which works seamlessly without a form, suddenly stops functioning when you wrap it inside a <form> tag. This can be particularly frustrating as it disrupts your user interface and experience.

In this guide, we will walk through the problem, understand why it occurs, and provide you with a clear solution to get your Javascript function working again.

Understanding the Problem

The specific issue arises when using Javascript to toggle the state of form elements based on user input. In this example, we have a radio button input that, when selected, enables a text input field for entering a reason. The original Javascript function intended to achieve this is:

However, wrapping this code in a <form> tag introduces unexpected behavior, resulting in the function not performing as intended.

The Simple Solution

Interestingly, the solution to this problem comes down to a simple change in the Javascript function's name. When the function's name is altered, it seems that the issue resolves itself.

Revised Function Naming

Instead of using the original function name ismcstop, rename the function to something distinct like ismcsfortop. This simple change is crucial, as it allows the function to identify and address the form events correctly.

Here’s the revised implementation:
