JavaScript - Js Contact Form Validation
i cant see to get my finger on the validation correctly, im trying to achieve that:
(*) Required fields are required in the final submission All other fields are validated by their content type But all fields without (*) Required are not needed for the form to be submitted http://www.on-media.co.uk/clients/hlmd/ http://www.on-media.co.uk/clients/hl...ipt/contact.js is the below code: Code: function formValidator(){ // Make quick references to our fields var name = document.getElementById('name'); var sname = document.getElementById('sname'); var phone = document.getElementById('phone'); var cell = document.getElementById('cell'); var calltime = document.getElementById('calltime'); var email = document.getElementById('email'); var address = document.getElementById('address'); var zip = document.getElementById('zip'); var loana = document.getElementById('loana'); var loanb = document.getElementById('loanb'); var balance = document.getElementById('balance'); // Check each input in the order that it appears in the form! if(isAlphabet(name, "Please enter only letters for your name")){ if(isAlphabet(sname, "Please enter only letters for your surname")){ if(isNumeric(phone, "please enter only numbers for your phone number")){ if(isNumeric(cell, "please enter only numbers for your cell number")){ if(madeSelection(calltime, "Please select a time for your callback")){ if(isAlphanumeric(address, "please enter your address in numbers and letters")){ if(isNumeric(zip, "Please enter a valid zip code")){ if(emailValidator(email, "Please enter a valid email address")){ if(isAlphanumeric(loana, "Please enter the value of your loan")){ if(isAlphanumeric(loanb, "Please enter the value of your loan")){ if(madeSelection(balance, "Select the duration you are behind on your loan re-payments")){ return true; } } } } } } } } } } } return false; } function notEmpty(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.value.length == 0){ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); // set the focus to this input return false; } return true; } function isNumeric(elem, helperMsg){ var numericExpression = /^[0-9]+$/; if(elem.value.match(numericExpression)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){ var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/; if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } function isAlphanumeric(elem, helperMsg){ var alphaExp = /^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$/; if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.value == "Please Choose"){ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; }else{ return true; } } function emailValidator(elem, helperMsg){ var emailExp = /^[\w\-\.\+]+\@[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-z0-9]{2,4}$/; if(elem.value.match(emailExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } is my form: Code: <form onsubmit='return formValidator()' ><div id="contactfC"> <div id="contactf1"> <table width="240" border="0"> <tr> <td width="102"><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Name:</td> <td width="108"><input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Surname:</td> <td><input name="sname" type="text" id="sname" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Phone Number:</td> <td><input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell Number:</td> <td><input name="cell" type="text" id="cell" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Best time to call:</td> <td><select name="calltime" id="calltime"> <option value="Morning">Morning</option> <option value="Afternoon">Afternoon</option> <option value="Evening">Evening</option> <option value="Anytime">Anytime</option> <option value="Please Choose" selected="selected">Please Choose</option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Address:</td> <td><textarea name="address" id="address" cols="15" rows="3"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="contactf2"> <table width="245" border="0"> <tr> <td width="133"><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Zip Code:</td> <td width="118"><input name="zip" type="text" id="zip" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Email:</td> <td><input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>1st Loan Amount:</td> <td><input name="loana" type="text" id="loana" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>2nd Loan Amount:</td> <td><input name="loanb" type="text" id="loanb" size="15" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><span style="color:#F00;">*</span>Balance Past Due:</td> <td><select name="balance" id="balance"> <option value="One Month">1 Month</option> <option value="Two Months">2 Months</option> <option value="Three Months">3 Months</option> <option value="Four Months">4 Months</option> <option value="Five Months +">5 Months +</option> <option value="Not Applicable">N/A</option> <option value="Please Choose" selected="selected">Please Choose</option> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td><input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" /></td> </tr> </table> </div> </div></form> i appricate any help thanks Similar TutorialsI have heard that it is wrong to just do client validtion. SO can anyone help me with my form? The code below, has client validation and php and I am not sure that I have got it right. Also I would need to cover server side validation too but have no idea on how to do this. I must say I have very small knowledge of JS. Does anyone know the easiest method of doing forms with php, JS server and client side validation.

Thanks for your help if you give some Hello, I have an existing php contact form which incorporates php validation (required name with only characters, valid email address format, and minimum message length) and re-captcha. I would like to add some "real time" validation to the fields on my form (there are 3 fields - name, email and message) before the "Submit" button is pressed. For example when the user tabs from one text box to the next but hasn't filled in the required information. I am totally new to any type of java, but am I right in thinking I need either JavaScript, Ajax or JQuery to perform real-time validation? If so, which should I be looking into and are there any basic examples of form validation? I want to keep my pup validation as I'm aware that php is client-side but still needed as people can turn Java off in their web browsers. Any tips and pointers will be very much appreciated! Thankyou, Tom Not totally sure this is in the correct section but here goes!... I've coded up my form in html / css and added some scripts i found online that should prevent users from submitting the form without the fields filled in. However the form only seems to work in chrome, safari and yet firefox it lets users submit without needing anything filled in. my form is he http://www.rhombusone.com/projecttiger/contact.html Also targeting the error text so that it appears below the field box instead of being all over the place, what value am i targeting? Thanks M 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! Basically I can't get it to work. I'm following this tutorial and I'm not able to hide the error messages, or just get the form to submit. I could really use some direction. Here is the page I am working on: http://www.mustlovepink.com/public_html/contact.php Code: // Form submission $('#contact-form').submit(function() { // Hide any message $('span#contact-msg').css('opacity', 0); // Build data string var fields = [ 'name', 'email', 'message' ]; var data = 'ajax=1'; for (var i = 0; i < fields.length; i++) data += '&' + fields[i] + '=' + encodeURI($('#' + fields[i]).val()); // Submit $.ajax( { url : $('#contact-msg').attr('action'), dataType: 'json', data: data, type: 'POST', success: function(data) { if (data.sent == true) { $('span#contact-msg').html('Thanks for the message. I will get back to you as soon as possible.'); $('#send').css('backgroundPosition', '-207px -168px'); $('#send').attr('disabled', 'disabled'); } else $('span#contact-msg').html(data.error); $('span#contact-msg').animate( { opacity: 1 }, 400); } }); return false; }); I got this code for an contact form, but where can I set the email address to send to? Does someone know how to let 2 of the same type of contact form, working on the same page? Because i have the contact form on the footer of my page, and when you visit at the mennu: contact us, the same contact form will be shown. But it wont work, only the one in the footer. Hi, I have created a website which employs javascript contact forms. There is a javascript contact form located on the left of every page of the website which works fine but on the contact page where there are two forms the main form on the page does not work. The contact us page is located he http://www.goodletterwriting.co.uk/contact-us.html The two javascript files that are being used a http://www.goodletterwriting.co.uk/scripts/scripts.js & http://www.goodletterwriting.co.uk/scripts2/scripts2.js Can somebody please help? Thanks in advance, Peter I already have the html and the php part of my form. My Form already can be verified using only php, but i would also like it to use javascipt so they dont have to load a new page just to say ''this field is blank"" im not very intelligent with javascipt so im just looking that if the user does not have a field that is needed that a red mark comes up around it or next to it saying you need to fill it out. Im using php also for verification just incase someone turns on JavaScript on there browser.. heres my php file Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <?php $errors = ''; $myemail = 'support@ludemanndistributors.net';//<-----Put Your email address here. if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['message'])) { $errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required"; } $name = $_POST['name']; $email_address = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; if (!eregi( "^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email_address)) { $errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address"; } if( empty($errors)) { $to = $myemail; $email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name"; $email_body = "You have received a new message.

Thanks in advance. Hello JScript gurus, though I am quite an advanced and experienced VB& .NET programmer, I am totally new to Jscript coding, (I don't actually code Jscript) but I build websites all the same too. I am also new here. I really need help from you gurus here. I am working on a website and I really wish to incorporate a contact or an order form to it so that when the user fills in the fields and clicks send, I receive the data in my email. I have made some searches and found quite a few but all didn't touch on how I retrieve my data. Please help me. I will be very grateful. Thank you. Friends, I want a simple contact form of 3 fields on my website which emails data on my email address or write a file on my server or just other any way inform me that data. But I dont want that "submit" button redirects to other 'thankyou' page where code is located. Plzzzzzzzz suggest or tell me what I have to do?? Hei! I am trying to use a contact form which appears in a lightbox from : http://www.xul.fr/javascript/lightbox-form.html It is working great but, of course I have a problem. My page is very big and when I want my page to scroll to the point where the form is. I am using window.scrollTo function. the problem is that before scrolling to that point , it automatically scrolls to the coordinates (0,0) and only after that. I am posting my javascript and css code. Thanks for your help ! JAVASCRIPT Code: function gradient(id, level) { var box = document.getElementById(id); box.style.opacity = level; box.style.MozOpacity = level; box.style.KhtmlOpacity = level; box.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=" + level * 100 + ")"; box.style.display="block"; if(id=='boxa') { window.scrollTo(2500,0); } else { window.scrollTo(100,100); } return; } function fadein(id) { var level = 0; while(level <= 1) { setTimeout( "gradient('" + id + "'," + level + ")", (level* 1000) + 10); level += 0.01; } } function openbox(formtitle, fadin,boxtitle,boxN) { var box = document.getElementById(boxN); document.getElementById('filter').style.display='block'; //var btitle = document.getElementById(boxtitle); // btitle.innerHTML = formtitle; // var btitle = document.getElementById(boxtitle); // btitle.innerHTML = formtitle; if(fadin) { gradient(boxN, 0); fadein(boxN); } else { box.style.display='block'; } } // Close the lightbox function closebox() { document.getElementById('box').style.display='none'; document.getElementById('filter').style.display='none'; document.getElementById('boxa').style.display='none'; document.getElementById('filter').style.display='none'; } CSS Code: #filter { display: none; position: absolute; top: -500px; left: -500px; width: 7200px; height: 3300px; background-color: #000; z-index:10; opacity:0.5; filter: alpha(opacity=50); } #box { display: none; position: absolute; top: 20%; left: 20%; width: 400px; height: 200px; padding: 48px; margin:0; border: 1px solid black; background-color: white; z-index:101; overflow: none; } #boxtitle { position:absolute; float:center; top:0; left:0; width:496px; height:24px; padding:0; padding-top:4px; left-padding:8px; margin:0; border-bottom:4px solid #3CF; background-color: #09c; color:white; text-align:center; } #boxa { display: none; position: absolute; top: 350px; left: 2950px; width: 700px; height: 200px; padding: 48px; z-index:101; overflow: visible; /* background-image: url(../imagini/tutorial.png); */ background-repeat:no-repeat; } Hi! I would like to show you guys the JavaScript that i using for my contact form /*----- Code goes here by clicking the link -----*/ http://web.ezenne.com/js/completeValid.js The above code was copied from a Youtube tutorial about JavaScript. I would like to ask, what additional code should be added in the existing code in order to validate the numbers only and an email format before the form to be submitted? Thanks! Regards, Ezenne Hey there guys, I am building a site of which I would like the contact information and form to pop up from the button on the menu/header frame into the main frame as a lightbox ...no matter which page is loaded in the main frame. I was trying to experiment with the archived "jQuery Contact form for your website" tutorial from web devlopment blog . com. (I didnt want to post a link to it as I dont want to possibly flag the moderators) Any Ideas? Go to http://whitetailfantasies.com to see the layout and what I am going for. Thanks 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"> <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;

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.
