HTML - Need Help With Form Tags & Validation

Hi everyone,

does anyone know how to make it so, on a form, when a person inputs their phone number it wont accept anything less than 11 numbers and anything more than 11 numbers?

Thanks

Could someone please advise how to make a singular field validated before sending via smtp, through a Content Management system. I do not have access to the CSS side of things and am hoping this will help my own knowledge banks. The RTE does accept some types of Javascrpt but a resolution in this would ahve to be very simple. Appreciated any help given, thanks all. Tom

When trying to validate more then one text box, the code ignores the first set of code and moves straight to the second :\ why does it do that?

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function validate_form ( )

   { 
   valid = true;
    if ( document.MyFrom.fname.value == "" )
    {
        alert ( "Please fill in the 'Your Name' box." );
        valid = false;
   }
    return valid;
}
function validate_form ( )
{
    valid = true;

    if ( document.MyFrom.lname.value == "" )
    {
        alert ( "Please fill in the 'Youlr Name' box." );
        valid = false;
    }

    return valid;

}

</script>

Hi guys i have a form that has name , email , country (drop down list ) , state , city , address , phone . I would like to validate the form so that when a space is left empty for example the "name" space is left empty a message box alerts them

Hi

I am using a CGI-BIN script to submit an html form to an email address. I am wondering how i can make field in this html form "required"??

Would be thankful if someone could point me in the right direction.

If you look here at http://www.babyjai.com/quote.php you will see the form validates before it tries to push it thru, how come when you look at http://dinasky.me/contact.php it doesnt do it, it just pushed it thru, i cannot figure it out!

have a form.. has certain input fileds like - sptn, rptn, mps, mpr etc

am trying to validate all entries to be entirely numeric and within range


if (sptn>0 && sptn<65535 && rp>0 && rp<65535 && rptn>0 && rptn<65535 && mps>0 && mps<65535 && mpr>0 && mpr<65535)

alert("all values ok");


problem is => this works even if i enter any of the values as =-=-=- or ./,/.,-= or any other junk characters


but this snippet works fine
if (spn>99 && spn<=999 && rpn>99 && rpn<=999)
alert("ok");



please advise

I have a form that i want to ensure is filled out correctly before the user is able to proceed.

http://chimp.cc/start.htm

If the user fails to fill out the terms and conditions box with a "Yes"when the user clicks submit, i want a message to pop up to tell them to complete it.

and to return the user to that field for completion.

I honestly have no idea how to do this, can someone please help me.

I have attached the source code too.

Cheers

Andy

Hi Ya,

I am trying to validate the telephone number for a form. I would really like some help.
You see when i leave the telephone field blank the code error message comes up telling me that i cant leave that field blank. When i then put in illegal characters it says that i used illegal characters but instead of clearing the feild,allowing me to type the correct phone number and then moving onto the getradio if statement it goes to receipt page when the submit button is clicked instead of doing the validate checks first and then moving onto the receipt.html page.

This is the problem area.
Code:

 if (form.phone.value == "")
  {
	
    alert("Please enter your telephone number for shipping Information.");
    form.phone.focus();
    return (false);
  }
  else
	{
		validate();
		
	}

  if (getRadio("pay") == null)
  {
    alert("Please choose a payment method.");
    return (false);
  }
  return (true);
  }

  //--></script>

	<script language="javascript">
	function validate()
	{
		if (isNaN(parseInt(this.value))) 
		{
   		alert("The phone number contains illegal characters.");
		form.phone.focus();
		return (false);
		}
	}
//--></script>

The below code is for the form.
Code:

<FORM  name="information" action="..\..\Cars\GT\receipt.html" method="get" onSubmit=" return form_Validator(this)"> <!-- Tells the button what action to take -->

The below code is the full validation check function
Code:

<!-- This is used to validate the radio buttons to make sure that one of those options are pressed -->
<script language="javascript">
function getRadio(radioName){
    var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    var ret = null;
    for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++){
        if(inputs[i].type == 'radio' && (inputs[i].name == radioName || inputs[i].id == radioName) && inputs[i].checked){
            ret = inputs[i].value;
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

<!-- This is used to validate the text boxes to make sure that an item is written into it -->
<!-- I f the next box remains empty an error message appears -->
function form_Validator(form)
{
 	
	

  if (form.first_name.value == "")
  {
    alert("Please enter your first name for shipping Information.");
    form.first_name.focus();
return (false);
     }

  if (form.last_name.value == "")
  {
    alert("Please enter your last name for shipping Information.");
    form.last_name.focus();
    return (false);
  }
  
 if (form.address.value == "")
  {
    alert("Please enter your address for shipping Information.");
    form.address.focus();
    return (false);
  }
  if (form.acode.value == "")
  {
    alert("Please enter the area code for shipping Information.");
    form.acode.focus();
    return (false);
  }


 if (form.phone.value == "")
  {
	
    alert("Please enter your telephone number for shipping Information.");
    form.phone.focus();
    return (false);
  }
  else
	{
		validate();
		
	}

  if (getRadio("pay") == null)
  {
    alert("Please choose a payment method.");
    return (false);
  }
  return (true);
  }

  //--></script>

	<script language="javascript">
	function validate()
	{
		if (isNaN(parseInt(this.value))) 
		{
   		alert("The phone number contains illegal characters.");
		form.phone.focus();
		return (false);
		}
	}
//--></script>

Hi, I'm new to the forums, so if this is in the wrong place i apologize. I've been thrown into the fire at work to develop some of the website and I'm absolutely stuck on one of my forms.

It's submitting name, email and a couple checkboxes. I need the script to verify that the fields are not blank, the email field is a valid address, and the checkboxes are checked. Any ideas?

<body>


<script>
function Do_it()
{
if(document.Form1.FirstName.value == "")
{ errormessage += "\n\nPlease fill out your first name."; }
if(document.Form1.LastName.value == "")
{ errormessage += "\n\nPlease fill out your last name."; }
if(document.Form1.email.value == "")
{ errormessage += "\n\nPlease fill out your email address."; }
if(document.Form1.checkbox1.value == "")
{ errormessage += "\n\nPlease verify you are 13 or older."; }
if(document.Form1.checkbox2.value == "")
{ errormessage += "\n\nPlease verify you have read and agree to the Privacy Policy."; }
}
return false;

else
return true;

}

I'm using Godaddy's gdform.php form mailer for my forms. The forms work perfectly except the validation. I need the visitors to fill in the fields and then submit the information to my email, but the problem is that everyone can submitt even if he doesn't fill in the form. I want all of the fileds to be required. Is there something wrong with the code ? Here it is :




<form action="/gdform.php" method="post">
<table align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Form Submission">
<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="/Add/thankmes.html">
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="YourName, Email, description">
<tr>
<td><p><font color=WHITE font size=4>Your Name:</p> </font></td> <td align=center height=50><p><input type="text" name="YourName" size="52"/></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><p><font color=WHITE font size=4>Your E-mail:</p> </font></td> <td height=50><p><input type="text" name="Email" size="52"/></p></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><p><font color=WHITE font size=4>Your Message:</p> </font></td> <td><br><p><textarea name="description" cols="40" rows="5">

Hello,
I have an trouble with an html form validation called in a div with a javascript code for form validation.

I have a main page in which I have a named div(workplace) where I call a html form page.
Once the form page is called in the "workplace" div, the form is working, I can submit the entries to the database but the javascript validation doesn't work.
But if I open the form in a decicated browser window then the javascript form validation works.

I want to use div because everywhere I'm reading that "frames" is the devil and I should use div tag instead.

Where could be my trouble? Your help is appreciated.
Below there are my main page & form page.


Main page html code
Code:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../library/ajax_navagation.js"></script>
<title>My Web page</title>
</head>

<body>
<div id="Menu">
        <p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="open_url('../admin/adduser.html', 'workplace');">Add user</a></p>
        <p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="open_url('../admin/showusers.php', 'workplace');">Show users</a></p>
</div>

<div id="workplace"></div>


</body>
</html>

Add user form with javascript for form validation
Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
  if (document.getElementById){
    var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
    for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=document.getElementById(args[i]);
      if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
        if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
          if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
        } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
          if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
          if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
            min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
            if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
      } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
    } if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
    document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
} }
//-->
</script>

Add new user

<form action="../ui/admin/adduser.php" method="post" name=adduser onSubmit="MM_validateForm('username','','R','password','','R',);return document.MM_returnValue">
<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">

<td>&nbsp;</td>

<tr>
<td width="100">&nbsp;</td>
<td><input name="add" type="submit" id="add" value="Add New User" ></td>
</tr>

i'm looking for a cheap way out of making collapse/expand code.
i've learned a lot of 'ghetto' techniques n thought mayb i can use
something similar to the html tricks i've learned in the past.

the theory i have is.. i use the title of the collapse/expand text as a link to the text below it to open and close by using the navigating tags:
Code:

<a name="content">opening/closing text here</a>

and the title above the content:
Code:

<a href="#content">Title</a>

to open the area of text.

now my idea of a shortcut around the whole css/html/javacript combo is to make the text below it use a
Code:

<font size=0>content</font>

at default and have the href title link change the font size to the default 9pt but I don't know if that's even possible.
Is it possible with the Code:

<div>

tags? and if so, using that, would i still b able to make a link like that?
