JavaScript - Form Validation On Submit And New Window Only On Success
Trying to create an eBay listing template with a form on it.
The form will allow the buyer to enter in their ebay ID, item number, and 3 choices. Form is complete, using this javascript for validation: Code: <SCRIPT language=javascript> function validate(){ var ebayid= document.getElementById('ebayid').value; var itemnumber= document.getElementById('itemnumber').value; var choice1= document.getElementById('choice1').value; var choice2= document.getElementById('choice2').value; var choice3= document.getElementById('choice3').value; if (!ebayid){ alert('Ebayid is required!'); document.getElementById('ebayid').focus(); return false; } if (!itemnumber){ alert('Item Number is required!'); document.getElementById('itemnumber').focus(); return false; } if (!choice1){ alert('Choice 1 is required!'); document.getElementById('choice1').focus(); return false; } if (!choice2){ alert('Choice 2 is required!'); return false; } if (!choice3){ alert('Choice 3 is required!'); return false; } return true; } </SCRIPT> I like this because it gives a pop up alert box (with definition) if a field is left empty. Upon success though the user is redirected off the page to a success page. I was told that this has to happen because the .php for the form to work is hosted on my site and the user needs to be redirected to my site in order for the form to work. Since this is the case, I was told I could use javascript to open up a separate window for this to happen, thus allowing the buyer to stay on the eBay listing (and to stay compliant with eBay's html/javascript policy). I have pieced together code from numerous forums to actually do this but there is one flaw. Code: <form action="http://www.mysite.com/test.php" method="post" name="testform" id="testform" onsubmit="window.open('', 'success', 'width=450,height=300,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); javascript:return validate();" rel="nofollow" target="success"/> This code not only opens a new window but it opens the new window on any click to the submit button, even if the validation fails. How do I write this so that the new window is only opened when the validation completes all true and not when the validation returns an error/alert box? Additionally... how do I add to the javascript so that the field "ebayid" requires 6 characters and the "itemnumber" requires 12 numbers? I would also like for the form itself to erase after a successful submission to prevent the user from hitting the submit button 100's of times spamming me with email (if it's possible) Thanks Kemble Similar TutorialsI've literally tried everything. Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes. I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return. html form: Code: <form id="f1" name="form1" onsubmit="validate_form(this); return false;" action="register" method="post"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;

I am displaying a message to the right of the inputbox on error. I'm trying to keep this at DOM 1 compatible and not use any framework. HTML Code: <form id = "myForm" action = "" onsubmit = "return validateForm(this);"> <table class = "table-submit" border = "0"> <tr> <td> Username: </td> <td> <input type = "text" id = "username" size = "30" maxlength = "30" onchange = "validateUsername(this, 'msgUsername')" /> </td> <td id = "msgUsername"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Password: </td> <td> <input type = "password" id = "password" size = "30" maxlength = "30" onchange = "validatePassword(this, 'msgPassword')" /> </td> <td id = "msgPassword"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <input type = "submit" value = "Submit" /> <input type = "reset" value = "Clear" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> JavaScript Code: function validateUsername(myItem, myElement) { var dom = document.getElementById(myElement); if (myItem.value.length < 3) { dom.innerHTML = " Username needs to be a minimum of 3 characters! "; return false; } else { dom.innerHTML = ""; return true; } } function validatePassword(myItem, myElement) { var dom = document.getElementById(myElement); if (myItem.value.length < 5) { dom.innerHTML = " Password needs to be a minimum of 5 characters! "; return false; } else { dom.innerHTML = ""; return true; } } function validateForm (itm) { // kind of stuck here... } As you may of noticed, I am a bit stuck on my validateForm() function. The code validates on each inputbox onchange event. Not sure what is the best way to go from here. I thought about doing an If for my both single input box validation, but I would need to send each parameters which is what i was trying to avoid by using this. Would like some suggestions. Hi there i have a simple form in a popup window that was called like this: Code: document.onkeyup = KeyCheck; function KeyCheck(e) { var KeyID = (window.event) ? event.keyCode : e.keyCode; switch(KeyID) { case 40: window.open("?page_id=9","MS_PopUp","width=800,left=100,top=100,height=630,toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,status=1,menubar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,copyhistory=1"); break; } } This works well enough. The form has a four fields: Code: <form name="contact_form" id="form1" method="post" action="?page_id=41"> <fieldset> <label class="label" for="name">Your Name: </label> <input tabindex="1" type="text" id="name" name="name" class="input" onload="focus()" /><span id="error_name"> </span><br /> <label class="label" for="email">Your Email: </label> <input tabindex="2" type="text" id="email" name="email" class="input" /><span id="error_email"> </span><br /> <label class="label" for="website">Your Website: </label> <input tabindex="3" type="text" id="website" name="website" class="input" /><span id="error_website"> </span><br /> <label class="label" for="problem">Your Problem: </label> <textarea tabindex="4" class="textarea" name="problem" id="problem" rows="5" cols="10"></textarea><span id="error_problem"> </span><br /> </fieldset> <div class="buttons"> <input tabindex="6" type="button" value="Reset" onclick="resetForm()" /> <input tabindex="5" type="button" value="Send" onclick="popupmail()" /> </div> </form> and the function 'popupmail()' ends with Code: document.contact_form.submit() ; which i used on numerous forms before. after submit, the action URL (?page_id=41) is displayed in the popup window location bar but the page is not! 'page not found'. if i copy & paste the URL and refresh, the page is found. this may not be a JS problem but maybe a popup window limitation. but what do i know? also, this is a wordpress site but i cant see how this is related to wordpress. any idea? Hello all I created a form which has a lot of textboxes, checkboxes and select-lists which are getting filled up by the records from a database table. I am basically creating an edit screen for a record. No I want to check all these input elements using javascript validation. I want this to performed when a button "Archive" is pressed. My problem is this "Archive button" needs to be a submit button. This does run the javascript validation but after completing the validation it submits the form. I want that submission should be stopped when the validation is violated. how can I do this? What I want is a button which acts as a default button (triggers the onclick event when I press enter) but submits only if the form is valid. Hi friends, i'm using greybox on my website, and using survey. i want when click submit button then post form data to opened greybox window.. but can't.... my form actions <form action="anket.php?islem=ok" method="post" onSubmit="javascript:return GB_showCenter('Anket',this.action, 280, 350)" > greybox window open, but can't show post data.. can anyone help me ? sorry for may bad english Hi Guys, I'm developing a registration form to be viewed on an iPad, this will be put on display in store for customers to complete. The idea is that once the form has been completed a success message will show in lightbox form (currently using query reveal) and then after a few seconds disappear and the form will be refreshed. Any idea on how to do this? I am using the below code but the obvious error is with the action. "<form name="signup" class="form" id="signup" action="data-reveal-id="myModal"" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_signup(this)">" All help very much appreciated. From my main page, I have a dropdown-login box. Is it possible login form go to my user's control panel if the login was successful, or go to the login page if it's not? Ideally, I don't want to use a re-direct. Do I need to use ajax? Thank you! When the form below is submitted, I want the result page to open in the same window. I tried adding 'rel="nofollow" target=_self', but that didn't do the trick (Another option is to open the new page in a new window with pre-defined dimensions) Can someone help me out?

I am having trouble getting a form to validate when it is submitted. My goal is that if a checkbox is checked (allowing the user to request more information via email) that the email address textbox should also verified to be filled out. What I have is a script in the page body, that (I believe) validates the two form elements, and the form has an onsubmit tag to run the javascript. However, everytime I run a test on the page, it submits regardless of if there is or isn't anything in the email field, with the box checked. Any guidance would be appreciated! Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(){ if(document.getElementById('00N50000002tarI').value == '1' && document.getElementById('email').value == ''){ alert('Please enter your email address'); return false; } </script> <form class="apply_now_form" action="test.php" id="apply_now_form" method="POST" onsubmit="return validate();"> <div class="text"><label for="email">Email</label> <input id="email" type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" /></div> <div class="check"><font color="#006e92"><input id="00N50000002tarI" name="00N50000002tarI" type="checkbox" value="1" />*I would like to receive the latest updates via email.</font><br></div> <div class="submit"><input class="c pill-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Apply Now!"/></div> </form> Note: This form was generated by SalesForce Web-to-lead, so I cannot modify form field names, and the form is running on WordPress, in an blank page template (so there shouldn't be any WordPress code muddling with the form). Hi everyone, I currently use javascript in an anchor tag to submit a form using Code: <a href="#" onClick="document.myformname.submit(); return false;">Submit</a> The only problem is, JQuery doesn't acknowledge that my form has been submitted. Has anyone come up against this problem before? If so, can you please share your work around? Thank you! B Hi, I am having a problem with my script used to disable my submit button. I want the button to disable upon correct submission of the form, and the button to be kept enabled if the required fields are not filled in. I have the following code at the moment (which only does the first if statement). Code: SCRIPT CODE: <script type="text/javascript" > function validateForm() { var amount=document.forms["expenserecord"]["amount"].value; var picker=document.forms["expenserecord"]["picker"].value; var desc=document.forms["expenserecord"]["description"].value; if (amount==null || amount=="" || picker==null || picker=="" || desc==null || desc=="") { alert("All required fields must be filled out."); document.getElementById("sub").disabled = false; return false; } else { document.getElementByID("sub").disabled = true; } } </script> BUTTON CODE: <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="return validateForm()" id="sub"></p> Hi all, I'm designing something to addon to an existing product. I'm struggling with some javascript problems. I want to submit a hidden field when you click on an image button, rather than it being an actual submit button. It's going to submit the value "1" to a PHP page, but I don't want it to actually have to GO to the PHP page, just submit it within the webpage. Is this possible? Thanks Hi everyone. New programmer here trying to get fix this one specific issue I am having and I could use some help. Using Javascript, ASP.net with C# code behind. I am validating a textbox using the onblur event. It is being validated in that it must have an alphanumeric entry before the user tabs off of it to the next box. The validation part works, the part that doesn't work is that I get the validation alert textbox if I close the window. I have a workaround in that I am assigning that textbox a character using windo.onberforeunload but I know that isn't right. Here is what I have so far... Code behind on Page_Load... Code: txtCLBRTNWC.Attributes.Add("onblur", "return reqVLD(this)"); here is my textbox field... Code: <asp:TextBox ID="txtCLBRTNWC" runat="server" Width="75" MaxLength="4" ontextchanged="txtCLBRTNWC_TextChanged" TabIndex="1" onkeyup="clbwclngCHK(this);" ></asp:TextBox> And here are the 2 functions being used... Code: function reqVLD(alphanumericChar) { var chk = /^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/; // var boxid = document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value; // var matchArray = boxid.match(chk); if(document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value.match(chk)) { return true; } else { document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").focus(); document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value = ""; alert("Please enter a Work Center."); return false; } } function clbwclngCHK(obj_in)//When txtCLBRTNWC entry hits the max of 4 auto focuses to next box. { if (obj_in.value.length == 4) document.getElementById("<%=txtSTRTDT.ClientID%>").focus(); } Here is my work around... Code: window.onbeforeunload = function () { document.getElementById("<%=txtCLBRTNWC.ClientID%>").value = "1"; } Summary. User has to enter something in box before they can move on. This is checked and validating using an onblur event. Problem is, the onblur event fires if closing\exiting the window. I know there has to be a better way of doing this. Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Will Hello all, new here Seems like a very nice place to be apart of. I have my website www.gebcn.com. If you view source you will see all that I have done, but more importantly my problem. I have the JS code at the top there and I am unable to W3C validate my HTML because of the JS. I am using XHTML strict and would like to stay using it. The JS I have at the top is my form validation code. I am able to do any validating that I need with this "snippet" of code, I have shrank it from my library version just to use for this newsletter. Until now W3C validating was not important now for some reason it is and I am faced with this problem. I am not a Javascript guy more of a HTML/CSS guy and I can manipulate JS to suit my needs. <problem> I have tried to make this "snippet" of JS code an external file but receive multiple errors with the JS calling for the FORM NAME as it is not on the same page. The form NAME=NEWSLETTER is another problem, as W3C says I am unable to use attribute "NAME" in this location. <problem> I would like to keep the JS close to how it is now as I have a library to use this JS over and over again. Any pointers in the right direction or solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hopefully it is not to hard huh If there is anything anyone needs, the code pasted here, or anything else please let me know. Thanks again! Hi guys, Been stuck for a few days with this scenario. Any help? The alert box appears on an error. But the submitting won't stop. The details are submitted and the form is processed. Any help is greatly appreciated...

Problem is, right now, I can only get it to validate the first page, then it sends the email before the rest of the pages are viewed. I'm just trying to delay the submission of the form until the "submit_fourth" button is pressed. I've got $25 via paypal for the one who sticks with this one for long enough to come up with a workable solution. Here is my code... I know it's a lot, but I wasn't sure how much would be helpful. HTML code is in the second post in this thread (it was just too much to fit in one go). Cheers! -Dave The Javascript: Code: $(function validateForm(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'email', 'phone' : '(555) 123-4567', 'other' : 'other', 'detail' : 'project overview' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('input#phone').inputfocus({ value: field_values['phone'] }); $('input#other').inputfocus({ value: field_values['other'] }); $('input#detail').inputfocus({ value: field_values['detail'] }); //reset progress bar $('#progress').css('width','0'); $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); //first_step $('form').submit(function(){ }); $('#submit_first').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#first_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#first_step input[type=text]'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#first_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_second').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('0% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','0px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#first_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_second').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#second_step input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); var fields2 = $('#second_step input[textarea]'); var error = 0; fields2.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<5 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] ) { $(this).addClass('error'); $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); } }); if(error <= 0) { //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#second_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); } else return false; }); $('#back_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('25% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','85px'); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#second_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_third').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('75% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','255px'); //prepare the fourth step var fields3 = new Array( $('#time').val(), $('#budget').val() ); var fields2half = new Array( $('#detail').val() ); var fields2 = new Array( $('#other').val(), $('#pages').val() ); var fields1 = new Array( $('#name').val(), $('#email').val(), $('#phone').val(), $('#contact').val(), $('#url').val() ); var tr = $('#fourth_step tr'); tr.each(function(){ //alert( fields[$(this).index()] ) $(this).children('.1 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields1[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.2half td:nth-child(2)').html(fields2half[$(this).index()]); $(this).children('.3 td:nth-child(2)').html(fields3[$(this).index()]); }); //slide steps $('#third_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); }); $('#back_fourth').click(function(){ //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('50% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','170px'); //slide steps $('#fourth_step').slideUp(); $('#third_step').slideDown(); }); $('#submit_fourth').click(function(){ //send information to server //update progress bar $('#progress_text').html('100% Complete'); $('#progress').css('width','339px'); //slide steps $('#fifth_step').slideUp(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); if(error <= 0) { return true } else{ return false } }); }); I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong? here is my code so far... Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok. Code: .... <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { document.forms[0].username.focus(); } function validate(form) { var form = document.getElementById("reg"); var e = document.getElementById("error"); e.style.background = "red"; for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { var el = form.elements[i]; if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password") { if(el.value == "") { e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!"; el.style.border = "1px solid red"; el.focus(); return false; } else { el.style.border = "1px solid green"; return false; } } } var un = form.username; un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; un.focus(); return false; } var pw = form.password; pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; pw.focus(); return false; } e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!"; e.style.background = "green"; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <h1>My Cool Website</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="padding"> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them.

Problem is, when I run validation on my form, it seems to work, but no email is sent. But when I disable validation, the email sends just fine. I am fairly new to JavaScript, and need some help pinpointing where my error is. Here is the code. Code: // BEGIN JAVASCRIPT $(function(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'your email', 'yourmessage' : 'I would like to inquire about' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('textarea#yourmessage').inputfocus({ value: field_values['yourmessage'] }); //form validation $('form').submit(function validateForm(){ return false }); // removing this return false seems to mess up validation $('#submit').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#sendamessage input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#sendamessage input[type=text],#sendamessage textarea'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<2 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); // css class $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); // css class } }); if(!error) { // this is where I get confused. How do I make this send the form? alert('Data sent'); }); } }); }); // END JAVASCRIPT <form method="post" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm()" > <input type="hidden" name="ccf_customhtml" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="success_message" value="Thank you for filling out our form!" /> <input type="hidden" name="destination_email" value="dauidus@gmail.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="required_fields" value="" /> <label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="your name" /> <label for="email">Email</label> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="your email" /> <label for="yourmessage">Your Message</label> <textarea name="yourmessage" id="yourmessage" value="I would like to inquire about" style="margin-bottom:20px;" />I would like to inquire about</textarea> <input class="send submit" id="submit" type="submit" value="" style="position: relative; bottom: -70px; left: 25px; " /> </form> I am using a WordPress plugin to automatically send the contents of the form to email. It works without the javascript enabled. But when I turn on JS the form gets validated, but no email is sent. Please let me know if I should include anything else here... I've been looking at this code so much that I'm having a hard time doing it with fresh eyes. The problem page is on http://new.dauidusdesign.com/contact/. FYI, I am also looking to make this work with the 'request a quote' link on the same page. Cheers! -Dave |
