Flask Wtf.quick_form Running Some Javascript And Setting A Form Variable

I am creating blog posts and have so far done it with a normal html form. One funky think I was doing was running javascript onclick and setting a hidden variable in the form with

Solution 1:

Here is a very simple example of how to create a form with Flask-Bootstrap using WTForms (as it appears you are doing this in your code):

<form class="form form-horizontal" method="post" role="form">
  {{ form.hidden_tag() }}
  {{ wtf.form_errors(form, hiddens="only") }}

  {{ wtf.form_field(form.field1) }}
  {{ wtf.form_field(form.field2) }}
</form>

The above is manually. Here is without thinking:

{{ wtf.quick_form(form) }}

To answer your question, well that is hard to do because you haven't shown us any errors. But one thing is that

$("#new_entry_submit_button")

is a jQuery selector for an id attribute. To set that in Flask-Bootstrap either use:

{{ wtf.quick_form(form, id="whatever") }}

Or:

<form class="form form-horizontal" method="post" role="form">
  {{ form.hidden_tag() }}
  {{ wtf.form_errors(form, hiddens="only") }}
  {{ wtf.form_field(  form.field1(id='whatever')  ) }}
  {{ wtf.form_field(form.field2) }}
</form>
