JavaScript - Js Form Validation Issues
Hello guys,
I am trying to create a basic unobtrusive form validation function but I am having some issues/questions. Basically I am checking if any of the form fields have <= 3 characters, and if they do so, then I make those fields' backgrounds and borders red. Also in the empty <span> tags I insert an error message. My issues/questions a #1: So when I say if (fieldVals[i]<=3) this means that the errors should appear if the values are 1,2 or 3 characters long, right? It does not do that though, when I insert one character in any of the form fields the errors go away, but they should not, right? #2: How do I cancel the form from submitting if errors are visible and vice versa? When I use the return false when errors are visible, the code does not even run. What is going on? return true does the same. #3: When I use a submit button(type="submit") instead of just a button(type="button"), the code does not run? What am I doing wrong? NOTE: I am not trying to use this on a website, I am just trying to learn how to use unobtrusive javascript. That's why I am only checking for empty fields. If I learn how to do this first, later I will try to add email check, date check etc. (sorry for the long message) Any help would be much appreciated, thanks! THE CODE: function addEvent (eventObj, event, codeToEexcute) { if (eventObj.addEventListener) { eventObj.addEventListener(event, codeToEexcute, false ); } else if (eventObj.attachEvent) { // If IE event = "on" + event; eventObj.attachEvent(event, codeToEexcute); } } function cancelEvent(event) { if (event.preventDefault) { event.preventDefault(); event.stopPropagation(); } else { event.returnValue = false; event.cancelBubble = true; } } addEvent(window, 'load', pageEvents); function pageEvents () { if (!document.getElementById || !document.createTextNode) {return;} var send = document.getElementById('send'); //<input type="button" id="send" value="Contact Us" /> if (!send) {return;} addEvent(send, 'click', validate); } function validate () { var name = document.getElementById('name'); //<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" /> var lastName = document.getElementById('lastName'); //<input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName" value="" /> var email = document.getElementById('email'); //<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" /> var subject = document.getElementById('subject'); //<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" value="" /> var message = document.getElementById('message'); //<textarea name="message" id="message" value=""></textarea> var fields = [name, lastName, email, subject, message]; var fieldVals = [name.value, lastName.value, email.value, subject.value, message.value]; for (var i = 0; i<fieldVals.length; i++) { var contactForm = document.getElementById('contactForm'); //<form> tag var errs = contactForm.getElementsByTagName('span'); //one empty <span> tag next to each form field if (fieldVals[i]<=3) { //BUG HE it still validates with 3 or less character but it should not, right? fields[i].style.background = "#FFCCCC"; fields[i].style.borderColor = "red"; errs[i].innerHTML ="Please enter a correct value"; //by using 'i' I get the same index for the <span> tags //if I insert a "return false" here, the code above does not run. //how do I make the form not to submit when the code above is executed? } else { fields[i].style.background = "none"; fields[i].style.borderColor = "#cecece"; errs[i].innerHTML = " "; //how do I make the form to submit? when i use "return true" the code above does not run. } } //end for loop } //end validate Similar TutorialsHello all, I have a multistep jquery form that validates user input and then should send me an email. 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',

Hello, first off, let me just say that I'm very happy to be apart of this community. It seems like this may be my new home away from home. Now, I'm a beginner with JavaScript and I'm working on a forum validation but I have a few questions. First off, here's the code I'm working on: Essentially the code below checks every field with the class "req" for input, and it also validates the email address but I'm not sure how exactly.. Could someone explain the condition for the if statement? I am really lost, especially with the random "+2's" and "x.length". What is x? it was never defined? and what is with the +2's? what are they adding onto? Thanks. Here's the code too: Code:
function alertme(){
for(var i = 1;i < myform.elements.length;i++){
if(myform.elements[i].className == "req" && myform.elements[1].value.length == 0) {
alert("Please fill in all required fields");
return false;
}
}
var email = document.getElementById('email').value;
var atpos = email.indexOf('@');
var dotpos = email.lastIndexOf('.');
if (atpos < 1 || dotpos < atpos+2 || dotpos+2 >= x.length){
alert("Not a valid email")
false;
}
}
Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot guys. I am new here, and having massive difficulties with JavaScript, so like everything else I'm interested in, there's an awesome forum available so here I am. I have been browsing the site all night, checking stickies, searching related issues, etc but still having trouble. I am creating a pizza order form. Yes I see that there are previous issues with Pizza order forms, but they did not help. I've got issues with validation, and my test code does not respond at all when I click the submit button.

Hello Everyone - I am trying to make a form that requires a user to either enter in their mailing address and or e-mail or both. For example, if somebody only enters in their e-mail address the form would validate correctly and send the validation information to a conformation page. Or, the other s scenario would be they entered their mailing address information but left the e-mail field blank, the form would validate and confirm the form information on a conformation page. Or the last scenario would be that all fields were filled out, which then wouldn't be an issue(my form does this now). What I have done was made a custom function, which is in the code above on line, 39 and then have it called on an onsubmit button but that wasn't working. Code he Code: function formChoice(elem, helperMsg){
if(elem.fname, elem.lname, elem.address, elem.city, elem.state, elem.zcode == 0 || elem.email == 0){
return true;
}else{
alert(helperMsg);
elem.focus();
return flase;
}
}
The other thing I tried to do was making the if on line 25 an else if else and or just an else. I understand with an else if the condition are not met than the if statement moves on to the else and if that isn't met then both statements are false and the form will not submit, but both else if else, and else doesn't work at line 25. I tried moving the line 25 e-mail line down past the brackets and that didn't work. I have read many books and have visited many sites to try on my own to learn how to do this, and I think I am not understanding some basic concepts, and I would be tickled if somebody could look at my code and look at my problem and see what knowledge I am missing and how to fix my problem. Thanks. HI All, i have a form with 5 date fields, and i need to validate these fields against each other and prevent two date fields from future dates. I have used EPOCH calendar control on my page and set all date fields as read only. The calendar function is called on page load event. I have written a function to compare my dates (comparedates()) and called this function into another function (validateform(this)) which is triggered when the form is submitted. The validateform function first checks for null values and then calls comparedates function. When i test the form, the validate form works well and the form won't submit if there are any missing details, however when it executes the comparedates() function, this is what happens: in FireFox: alerts are popping up, but the page is submitted anyway in IE8 : alerts do not pop up and the page is submitted in both browsers i don't see any javascript error. here is the code i'm using in the page, apart from validateform and compare dates, i have a function to check email and another function to disable/enable text field upon a specific selection from a drop down. These two functions work perfectly, i just included them in the code just to see if it is at all affecting my comparedate() function. please let me know if you would like to also see EPOCH calendar code. Thank you for your help Maryam Code: function getToday() {
var date = new Date();
var mm = zeroPadValue(date.getMonth() + 1);
var dd = zeroPadValue(date.getDate());
var yyyy = date.getFullYear();

Hello, Im still new to JS/Ajax/PHP and Im creating a filter(html checkbox form) that will call a single query that will filter unwanted items.. This query contains a INNER JOIN, AND and ON conditions. I have also created a simple javascript loop to scan the form for checked values.. but im having trouble connecting the dots.. Im not certain how to make each checked value trigger individual parts of the query.. Heres what I have: Loop: Code: function sendInfo(form) {
var filterList = "";
for( var i =0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) {
if( form.elements[i].type = 'checkbox' ) {
if( form.elements[i].checked == true ) {
filterList += form.elements[i].value + ',';
}
}
}
alert("The filter list is " + filterList);
}
HTML FORM: Code: <form name="filterForm" id="filterForm"> <input type="checkbox" name="red" value="red" id="red"> RED <input type="checkbox" name="blue" value="blue" id="blue"> BLUE <input type="checkbox" name="green" value="green" id="green"> GREEN <input type="submit" name="submit" value="click" onClick="sendInfo(document.filterForm)"> </form> PHP/Mysql QUERYused to filter results) Code: $submitFilter= isset($_POST['submit']);
if($submitFilter)
{
//checks for submitted form
//connect to database
//select database
$filterQuery= mysql_query("SELECT *
FROM table_1
INNER JOIN table_2 ON table_1.color_Id=table_2.color_Id
WHERE
table_2.color_Category <> 'red'
AND table_2.color_Type <> 'red'
AND table_2.color_Category <> 'blue'
AND table_2.color_Type <> 'blue'
AND table_2.color_Category <> 'green'
AND table_2.color_Type <> 'green'
As you can see I have joined two tables and want to exclude any from table_1 where the color is red.. how can I request this action from the loop once a check box has been checked??? like I said im new so if this looks wrong/confusing feel free to be brutal !! I have searched the forums and Iv been close to finding an example/post but nothing solid.. I think I mayb using the wrong terminology/descriptions in my searches to find the correct results bcuz I feel like im circling the block to no end.. PLEASE HELP or POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE! Hi guys, Great site by the way =). Basically if you view http://debtclock.co.uk/contact and click the form submit before inputting any details in the boxes you will see that the boxes highlight red to indicate there are some fields missing. Everything works fine, but if you view it on I.E 8 you can see that the red fill doesnt appear, only the text above it saying there are errors. Anyway I hope someone can get back to me with an idea, I am sat here in the office pulling my hair out not having an idea what it could be ><><>< 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! I'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">

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;
}

Hi, I have a working contact form with 3 of the fields requiring validation and they work well. I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them. My problem is that the new fields don't show in the behaviours/validate panel even though they are within the form tag. Can anyone give me any help and advice as to how to accomplish this? Many thanks Code below.... Code: <script type="text/JavaScript">

I have been hard at work coding a fancy JQuery form validation script. 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

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 Hi All, I have created my second Form to File Web Form thanks to some help from other members. Looks great. I am still new to HTML and Javascript, but basically I took my First Web Form coding (with the Java Script) and manipulated it so that it suited my needs for my 2nd Form (both are very close to being the same). For some reason, I can't get my Java Script validation to take effect. I was wondering if some one could try to pin point why it isn't functioning properly? Again it could be the most obvious thing, but please bear with me as I learn. Just for a little more clarity, I am going to list the things that I have changed to possibly make it easier to pin point: Added Fields: Department, SteetAddress, CityState Deleted: State/Research Accounts, Vendor Checkbox Modified: "Type" which is a radio button that I have changed the choices of. I beleive that's it...I will post my Java Script here and attach my Index File. Thank you in advance!! Code: /********************************************************************************

I've been using a script for verifying forms across several pages, and I've run into a page where it won't work the way it is. It's a form that loops through and creates a set of fields over and over, depending on the number of attendees. I'm assuming this disrupts the form verification because the fields get generated with the same id. I think I need to find another way to make sure the user enters valid and complete information. Here's what I've been using: Code: function myForm(){
// Make quick references to our fields
var fname = document.getElementById('fname');
var lname = document.getElementById('lname');
var birth_month = document.getElementById('birth_month');
var birthday = document.getElementById('birthday');
var birthyear = document.getElementById('birthyear');
// Check each input in the order that it appears in the form!
if(isAlphabet(fname, "Please enter only letters for your first name")){
if(isAlphabet(lname, "Please enter only letters for your last name")){
if(madeSelection(birth_month, "Pleace choose a birth month")){
if(madeSelection(birthday, "Please choose a birth day")){
if(madeSelection(birthyear, "Please choose a birth year")){
return true;
}
}
}
}
}
return false;
}
function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){
var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z ]+$/;
if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){
return true;
}else{
alert(helperMsg);
elem.focus();
return false;
}
}
function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg){
if(elem.value == ''){
alert(helperMsg);
elem.focus();
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}

Hi, I have a form where I want to check that at least one email address has been entered on one line. The html form is below and users are given the option to add additional lines to the form using the addRowToTable function also below. How do I do this? I've tried several ways but because lines are added to the form, it doesn't work if you check over all 10 lines, when you're only showing 5. Form: <form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" onsubmit="check_form();"name="form"> <input type="hidden" name="migrate" value="1" /> <table id="migration_emails" > <tr><td><input type="text" name="email_account_1" id="email_account_1" size="40"><input type="button" onclick="addRowToTable();" name="add" value="Add text box" /></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="email_account_2" id="email_account_2" size="40"></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="email_account_3" id="email_account_3" size="40"></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="email_account_4" id="email_account_4" size="40"></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="text" name="email_account_5" id="email_account_5" size="40"></td></tr> </table> <p><input type="submit" value="Migrate" /></p> </form> Add row to table function: function addRowToTable() { var tbl = document.getElementById('migration_emails'); var lastRow = tbl.rows.length; var iteration = lastRow + 1; if(iteration <= 10) { var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow); var cellLeft = row.insertCell(0); var el = document.createElement('input'); el.type = 'text'; el.name = 'email_account_' + iteration; el.id = 'email_account_' + iteration; el.size = 40; cellLeft.appendChild(el); } else { document.form.add.disabled=true; alert('Sorry, a maximum of 10 accounts can be added at one time.'); } } So, I've tried to get this working but i'm stumped. I'm trying to write some form validation... see below Code: function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["useraccount"]["firstname"].value
if (x==null || x=="")
{
document.getElementById("errorfirstname").innerHTML="enter first name";
return false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("errorfirstname").innerHTML="";
}
var x=document.forms["useraccount"]["lastname"].value
if (x==null || x=="")
{
document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML="enter last name";
return false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML="";
}
}
and then in my html i have <div id="errorfirstname"></div> <div id="errorlastname"></div> etc.. and onsubmit="validateform()" in the form. It sort of works.. it shows the errors if i submit the form with empty fields, but then if i enter data into them, the only the 'first name' field will make my error message disappear. for the 'last name', once the error message appears.. (ie, enter last name') it will not clear the message (as it should with document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML="" any help would be great. thanks. I'm using code at the bottom of this post for form validation. It works well to test that every field is not empty. BUT, I'm trying to prohibit email addresses in the description field. When I use this... Code: else if ( document.add_form.description.value =~ "@" ) ...the script sends up an alert, but then the content in the description field is completely erased and replaced with a "-1" which forces people to lose what they entered. How can I simply put up an alert that leaves the content in the description field? Here's the full code: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate_form ( )
{
valid = true;
if ( document.add_form.title.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'Title' field." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.description.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'Description' field." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.description.value =~ "@" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'Description' field." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.address1.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'Address' field." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.city.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'City' field." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.state.selectedIndex == 0 )
{
alert ( "Please select a State." );
valid = false;
}
else if ( document.add_form.zip.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'Zip Code' field." );
valid = false;
}
return valid;
}
//-->

Thanks! Hi, I am trying to make a form check two fields (using regular expressions) and then submit. So far I have created my expressions but i cant get the form to validate correctly! I seem to get the error associated with the loyalty card rather than the postcode check. Any help would be appreciated My code is: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(postalCode) { var re = new RegExp(/^([a-zA-Z]{2}[0-9]{1,2})|([0-9]{2}[a-zA-Z]{1,2})$/); var str = postalCode.value; if (re.test(str)) return true; else { alert("That is not a valid postcode. Please verify your input."); return false; } } function validate(cardNumber) { var re = new RegExp(/^([a-zA-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z0-9]{4})([a-zA-Z0-9]{5})([a-zA-Z0-9]{3})([0-9]{1}[!&@?]{1})$/); var str = cardNumber.value; if (re.test(str)) return true; else { alert("That is not a valid card number. Please verify your input."); return false; } } </script> <html> <form id="order" action= "" method="post" > <table cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td>Postal Code</td> <td><input type="text" name="postalCode" maxlength= "30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Loyalty card</td> <td><input type="text" name="cardNumber" maxlength= "30" /></td> </tr> <input id = "submit" type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="validate(postalCode); validate(cardNumber)" /> </td> </form> </html> I need a code so when a user clicks the 'Send!' button, the information on the form is sent to an e-mail address. I'm not entirely sure on the best method to do this, if you have any ideas that'd be great VALIDATION: Validation checks need to be carried out on the onClick event of the 'send' command button. E-mail field: Standard e-mail validation needed, so it must include a @ and a . in order to be accepted. Query field: Must contain some text. No limit or minimum requirement. The reply check box doesn't need any validation, but if it's checked, the email that gets sent needs to have an indication of this. Thanks for any help |
