JavaScript - Need Help With Form Checkbox Validation Code

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 need help with a JavaScript form validation code. I am using the form validation code that is found on this page: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...uiredcheck.htm

The code works fine for me, but what I'm trying to do is add an additional condition to it. Currently, I just have the code set up to check if the user has enter their name, email, and phone number. But I also need it to validate something else only if a specific condition is true. On my form I have 2 different sets of Radio lists. One is called Function and the other radio list is called Design. If the user selects an option on one of the 2 lists, then it will be required for the user to also select an option from the 2nd list. The user CAN decide not to select anything from either radio list, but can not select from one list and NOT from the other.

This is the If statement that I created (don't know if its correct or how to insert it to my current validation code).

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (Function+Design<1 or == 400 or == 800)
  {document.write("Please select both a Function and Design Type");}
</script>

here is the html code that i have

PHP Code:
<td valign="middle" valign="middle">
                                                <input type="radio" name="gender" id="genderM" value="Male" />&nbsp;Male&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
                                                <input  type="radio" name="gender" id="genderFM" value="Female" />&nbsp;Female
                                            </td> 


and here is the js funtion

PHP Code:
    var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
    function isValidEmail(str) {
       return (str.indexOf(".") > 2) && (str.indexOf("@") > 0);
    }
    function validateForm(){
            var firstName;
            var lastName;
            var email;
            var mobile;
            var comment;
            var error;
            
            firstName = $j('#firstName').val();
            lastName = $j('#lastName').val();
            email = $j('#email').val();
            mobile = $j('#mobile').val();
            comment = $j('#comment').val();
            if(firstName=='' || firstName.length < 3){
                error = 'Please Enter Your First Name';
                $j('#errormsg').html('<p class="errors">'+ error +'</p>');
                return false;
            }
            if(lastName=='' || lastName.length < 3){
                error = 'Please Enter Your Second Name';
                $j('#errormsg').html('<p class="errors">'+ error +'</p>');
                return false;
            }
        
            //mob
            //$jmob_pattern = '^\d{10}$j';
            if(mobile.length != 10 || isNaN(mobile)){
                error = 'Please Enter Your Mobile Number';
                $j('#errormsg').html('<p class="errors">'+ error +'</p>');
                return false;
            }
                if(email=='' || !isValidEmail(email)){
                error = 'Please Enter Your Email Address';
                $j('#errormsg').html('<p class="errors">'+ error +'</p>');
                return false;
            }
            
            if(comment.length < 5){
                error = 'Please Enter A Comment';
                $j('#errormsg').html('<p class="errors">'+ error +'</p>');
                return false;
            }
            return true;
    } 


Does anybody know how i check to see if the radio button is select and also can anybody tell me how i can check for an email in the correct format

the function isValidEmail in the above alows emails to pass through if they are in this format aaa@aaa. i only want them to go through if they are aaa@aaa.com

Thanks for your help if you give it

Hey guys, I am having a bit of an issue here. I have a form which has 3 checkboxes in it: (sorry, ignore the asp)

Code:

<input name="certs" id="certs" type="checkbox" <% If certs="on" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") %> />

<input name="nocerts" id="nocerts" type="checkbox" <% If nocerts="on" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") %> />

<input name="certsna" id="certsna" type="checkbox" <% If certsna="on" Then Response.Write("checked=""checked""") %> />

Anyways, I want to enforce the following:
- Only one checkbox can be checked from these 3, no more
- At least one checkbox must be checked before submission

I have found a couple small scripts to validate that at least one is pressed, but I do not know how to make sure no more than one is pressed, and how to combine scripts is beyond me. Can anyone offer any assistance? Is this difficult to do?

Hi All

I am not a genius when it comes to javascript so if anyone could help, I would really be grateful.

scenario:

I am creating a custom product (75g) which will be made up of 3 others products (25g + 25g + 25g). The 3 options will be made up of a combination of smaller products each with their own options (25g, 50g, 75g) which will allow the customer to have one of each or fill up all 3 with just one type.

Here is what I have in code already:

Code:

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back">Organic Sour Worms</h4>
<div class="back">
<input name="id[14][48]" value="48" id="attrib-14-48" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-14-48">25g</label><br>
<input name="id[14][49]" value="49" id="attrib-14-49" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-14-49">50g</label><br>
<input name="id[14][50]" value="50" id="attrib-14-50" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-14-50">75g</label><br>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth">
</div>

<br class="clearBoth">

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back">Organic Sugar Bears</h4>
<div class="back">
<input name="id[15][51]" value="51" id="attrib-15-51" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-15-51">25g</label><br>
<input name="id[15][52]" value="52" id="attrib-15-52" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-15-52">50g</label><br>
<input name="id[15][53]" value="53" id="attrib-15-53" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-15-53">75g</label><br>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth">
</div>

<br class="clearBoth">

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back">Organic Fruit Cocktail</h4>
<div class="back">
<input name="id[16][54]" value="54" id="attrib-16-54" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-16-54">25g</label><br>
<input name="id[16][55]" value="55" id="attrib-16-55" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-16-55">50g</label><br>
<input name="id[16][59]" value="59" id="attrib-16-59" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-16-59">75g</label><br>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth">
</div>

<br class="clearBoth">

<div class="wrapperAttribsOptions">
<h4 class="optionName back">Organic Jelly Bears</h4>
<div class="back">
<input name="id[17][57]" value="57" id="attrib-17-57" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-17-57">25g</label><br>
<input name="id[17][58]" value="58" id="attrib-17-58" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-17-58">50g</label><br>
<input name="id[17][60]" value="60" id="attrib-17-60" type="checkbox"><label class="attribsCheckbox" for="attrib-17-60">75g</label><br>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth">
</div>

What I need to do is to some how ensure that the product is filled with 75g worth of the other products.
Another option may to not use the 'grams' but rather use the 3 compartments that will be filled so 25g = 1, 50g = 2, 75g = 3 etc.

Note: Name, Values, Ids are made dynamically by the cart, and I cannot change those as they are used for adding to cart and updating account info etc.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

-----------------------------
Jay

First of all Thank you for looking at my issues. Just so you know, I am not a coder

I have a new set of problems I'm hoping someone can help me with.
Please read all three problems listed below as they are all intertwined. Thank you for any assistance you have with these issues.

First, here is the url to my test form
http://www.rocpinions.com/test-main-form.html

Next, Here is the code I am using.

The code is set up on dog cat other and none.
The test check 1 etc are all individual check box groups

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkI()
{
var other=0;
 var checkL = document.getElementsByName('form[PetsInHouse][]');
   for (var i=0;i<checkL.length-1;i++){
     if(document.getElementById('PetsInHouse3').checked){
      document.getElementById('PetsInHouse'+i).disabled = true;
      document.getElementById('PetsInHouse'+i).checked = false;
		}
     else {
      document.getElementById('PetsInHouse'+i).disabled = false;
		}
		if(document.getElementById('PetsInHouse'+i).checked){
		other++
		}
	 }
	 document.getElementById('PetsInHouse3').disabled=other>0?true:false;
	}
</script>

And here is the call I am using

onclick="checkI();"

Problem 1
This code works fine as is is set up and does what it should. The problem is i am also using this on longer sets of check boxes and I would like to instead of disabling I would like to have it set up so if someone clicks dog cat and other then if they choose the check box "None" it would empty all other check boxes and check the check box "None" and visa versa if none was checked and they checked dog, it would empty the None check.

Problem 2
I am using Joomla cms and a form constructor called RS Form Pro. It stores the data submitted in the form to a data base. As it is now, all the info in the check box group is submitted to ONE column. I need to submit it to individual columns for each choice. I can accomplish this by using individual check box groups for EACH item. This will put it in separate columns in the data base but I still need to have it set up so if someone clicks dog cat and other then if they choose the check box "None" it would empty all other check boxes and check the check box "None" and visa versa if none was checked and they checked dog, it would empty the None check.

Problem 3
How it submits data to the data base
Right now, it submits the data from the check boxes by the name of the check box. What I would like to have is a 1 if it IS checked and a 0 if IS NOT checked.

Again, Thank you for any assistance

DeZiner

I have a simple html form with 2 text fields and submit button

please send me code will be very thankful for your help

Hello,

After pulling out all my hairs, I am seeking some help with a JS validation script which would be for a case where we have multiple radio buttons which required a response from user and as a additional case if certain radio option is selected user should select one or more options listed as check boxes under that specific radio button.

I have attached an image showing sample scenario with this post.

If someone has an Idea how to to do please sail me thru.

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!

This code is designed to send people either to List 1 or List 2 in the Aweber form.

At this time, I cannot make the uncheck go to List 2 to receive that thankyou email. Can you tell me what is wrong???

Check--Yes I would like to subscribe--List 1 email--thank you
uncheck--No, I do not want to subscribe--List 2--you need more information

I am omitting the top of the Aweber code before <body>--


<script language="javascript">

function magCheck(){
var magcheckbox = document.MainForm.magcheckbox.checked;

if(magcheckbox == true){
document.getElementById("keylivingwell").value = '1355523361'

Hello everyone. I have been trying 2 days straight to figure out how to make this script work. Basically I am trying to have a hidden checkbox with a drop down menu. I want the user to be able to choose 0-9 where 0 the check box will not be checked and 1-9 if picked from the dropdown menu it will automatically check the hidden box. Here is the closest string of code I could find out there to help me figure it out but I am having no luck. The closest I got was....well I never really figured out how to make it work. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkUncheck (selected) {
var checkBox = document.getElementById("box");

if ((selected == 2) || (selected == 3)) {
checkBox.checked = "checked";
}
if ((selected == 0) || (selected == 1)) {
checkBox.checked = "false";
}
}
</script>
<form id="frm">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" id="box" checked="false"/></td>

<td>
<select id="sel0" onchange="checkUncheck(this.selectedIndex)">
<option value="zero">zero</option>
<option value="one">one</option>

<option value="two">two</option>
<option value="three">three</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>

Hello everyone, my 1st post here and my 1st day with javascript!

I am having some problems with the below script:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">

var electronics = ["mobiles", "hi-fi"];
var entertainment = ["books", "dvds",];

 
 function check(checkboxid) {  
 document.getElementById(checkboxid).checked = "checked";  
 }  
 
function visiblox(arrDiv, hs) {
	var disp = (hs) ? "none" : "block";
	for(var x = 0; x < arrDiv.length; x++) {
		document.getElementById(arrDiv[x]).style.display = disp;
	}
}

function chk(what, item) {
	if(item) {
		visiblox(what, false);
	} else {
		visiblox(what, true);
	}
	
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
<!--

.hide
{
	display: block;
}

.hide
{
	display: none;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>

<img src="images/electronics.png" onclick="check('electronics');"> 
<input type="checkbox" id="electronics" onchange="chk(electronics, this.checked);" >  <br>
 
<input type="checkbox" onclick="chk(entertainment, this.checked);"> Entertainment<br>
<br>

<br>

<div id="mobiles" class="hide">Mobiles</div><br>
<div id="hi-fi" class="hide">Hi-Fi</div><br>
<div id="books" class="hide">Books</div><br>
<div id="dvds" class="hide">DVD's</div><br>


</body>
</html>

Basically what happens is, when you select a checkbox it displays the relevant divs, this works fine with the entertainment checkbox in the code.

What I am trying to achieve is use an image to trigger the checkbox (which will be hidden) and the run the chk code to display the divs

What actually happens when you click the image the checkbox does become checked, however the divs do not display, if I uncheck the checkbox itself and then check the actual checkbox then it works.

Basically getting very frustrated as I can't seem to see whats wrong! I am guessing that for some reason the check code stops the chk running, but I dont know why!
Many thanks for any help

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">

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">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
  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=MM_findObj(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 == '');

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>
