I want to show data after inserting in form div and show results of that submitted form on another div on same page without changing page in wordpress? I used javascript function onSubmit it works according to which i want but after submit form div it shows the hidden result div for few seconds and then it reloads immediately and i dont want to reload or refresh the page after show result div?

Form Code Which Is First Div:

<form  style="margin-top: 30px;" class="form-horizontal t-gray" id="ContactForm" method="post"  onsubmit="document.getElementById('first').style.display = 'none';document.getElementById('hidden_div').style.display = ''; return true;" action="">
							<div id="first">

						<div class="col-md-6">
						<div class="form-group">
							<label for="" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Select Journey Type:</label>
							<div class="col-sm-6">
							  <select class="form-control" name="JourneyType">
							  	<option value="Distance (point A to Point B)">Distance (point A to Point B)</option>
							  <option value="Hourly">Hourly</option>
									</select>
							</div>
						</div>

						<div class="form-group">
							<label for="" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Baby Seat Required:</label>
							<div class="col-sm-6">
							  <select class="form-control" name="babyseat"><option value="Not Required">Not Required</option><option value="baby seat">Baby Seat</option>
									<option value="booster seat">Booster Seat</option></select>
							</div>
						</div>
	</div>
	<div class="col-md-6">
						<div class="form-group" style="position: relative;">
							<label for="" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Journey From:</label>
							<div class="col-sm-6">
							  <input class="form-control" type="text" value="" name="Journey_From" id="inputString" onKeyUp="lookup(this.value);" onBlur="fill();" />
							</div>
							<div class="suggestionsBox" id="suggestions" style="display: none;">
								<!-- <img src="images/upArrow.png" style="position: relative; top: -12px; left: 30px;" alt="upArrow" /> -->
								<div class="suggestionList" id="autoSuggestionsList">

								</div>
							</div>
						</div>
						<div class="form-group" style="position: relative;">
							<label for="" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Journey To:</label>
							<div class="col-sm-6">
							  <select class="form-control" name="Journey_To"><option value="Melbourne Airport">Melbourne Airport</option>
									<option value="Melbourne CBD">Melbourne CBD</option></select>
							</div>
						</div>
	</div>
						<div class="form-group">
							<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
							<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-primary" style="background-color:#e6ae48; border-color:#e6ae48; color:#fff;">Get Quote</button>
							</div>
						</div>
					</div>

					</form>
				</div></div>
</div>
				<div class="clear"></div><div class="clear"></div></div></div><div class="clear"></div>

And this is my Second Div Which Shows Data after first div submit but don't stay for long:

<div id="hidden_div" style="display:none" >
						<?php        
// $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","", "melbou99_melcars") or die("Could not make connection to the Database.");

$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","tanxeelc_singh","singh@123", "tanxeelc_melb") or die("Could not make connection to the Database.");

// $db= mysql_select_db("melbou99_melcars",$conn) or die("Could not select the Database.");
//$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die("Could not make connection to the Database.");
//$db= mysql_select_db("nz",$conn) or die("Could not select the Database.");
// old pass - !Cmo_;,cBb^A
?>

your code is hard to read ... suggest you look up event.preventDefault - Jaromanda X
You need to stop the first form Submitting if you don't want the page to reload. However, it looks like you need the form to submit to get the data for the second Div - is that right? - Tom
yes i want first div data to submit and show in second div which is hidden but when i use return false; in java script function it doesn't reload but also don't get data from the first div - Zain

You can use e.preventDefault() by passing e into your onsubmit function.

What this does is, in simple terms, it changes the default behavior of the event. In your case of submitting a form, the page in the browser would not refresh. You can read more about event.preventDefault() at MDN.

Doing inline JavaScript function calling inside HTML elements is not considered best practice, at least not when developing in vanilla JS. Rather, you would use an HTML reference of your element, in this case preferably an id, within a seperate JS-file or a script tag.

To reference your form you would then do:

ES6 (recommended)

const contactForm = document.getElementById('ContactForm');

ES5

var contactForm = document.getElementById('ContactForm');

Binding the submit event could then be done either simply through dot notation:

contactForm.onsubmit = function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  // do some other stuff
};

Or by adding an event listener:

contactForm.addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // keep doing stuff
}, false);

Most JS developers prefer the addEventListener() method as it gives them more control over the event handling. However, in your case it could be considered superfluous.
