JavaScript - Multistep Form Validation Issues - Form Submits Too Early
Hello 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',
'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'] });

Similar TutorialsI have a form, on which I have multiple checkboxes and text fields. Now I want that the form can't submit untill at least 1 checkbox is selected or a text field is filled.

Hello, I am using a simple form to submit values to another website. This has been working without any problems. I now have added a second form to the page. I have separated the text boxes and duplicated the information from one form to another. The problem is, when I click on the link that use to submit the information, nothing happens. Before the addition of the new form a new window would open with the search that I had submitted. Am I missing something to point to one form or the other? The following is the code that i am using in the form that no longer submits. Thanks in advance for any help. Code: <script language="javascript">
function submitPostLink()
{
document.postlink.submit();
}

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.

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. 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 Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

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, Maybe I'm missing something simple here, but for some reason this form validates in both IE and Firefox, but it doesn't submit in IE. Little yellow exclamation icon appears on the status bar on form submit. Any help would be great. Thanks! Code:

THanks! hi dears, I'm trying to do simple form validation. But the form submits right after validated! at FireFox only. as i tried it at IE it works fine. condition: if return false the event must be stop, killed submitting the form value's. my form is: Code: <form action="index.php" id="cat_form" method="post" name="cat_form" onsubmit="return cats();"> my js is: Code: function cats()
{
if (document.cat_form.txttitle.value=="")
{
alert ("Sorry, Don't keep it blank!!")
cat_form.txttitle.focus();
return false;
}
else if (document.farticle.txtperpg.value==0)
{
alert("Sorry, Value must be grater than Zero");
cat_form.txtperpg.focus();
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
Any Idea ? 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">

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>

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
<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!" />

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;
}
}

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 everyone, this is my first thread on the forum. . I am having issues with a form I am trying to validate. It validates on a remote server (WAMP) I have set up on my laptop but when I attempt it on another server it will not work. The code is as follows: <script type="text/javascript"> function validateForm() { var x=document.forms["pass"]["npass"].value var y=document.forms["pass"]["password"].value if (x==null || x=="") { alert("Please enter your new password"); return false; } if (y==null || y=="") { alert ("Please confirm your new password"); return false; } else alert("Some message"); } </script> <form name="pass" action="#" method="post" onsubmit="validateForm()"> <input name="npass" type="password"> <input name="password" type="password"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> My browser is also configured to accept javascript. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance, tdsrogers I am trying to create a form and validate it so that when the user enters their details, it doesn't let them confirm if the details are not filled out or incorrect. I am trying to use document.getElementById and labels, so instead of alerts appearing, a label appears next to the field that is required. I also am trying to validate the email to make sure the '@' and the '.' is in the right place.
Hey all, I'm new to validating forms, so I'm trying to use jquery to do so. So far I have Code: <script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
var jQ = jQuery;
jQ(document).ready(
jQ("#register").validate({
rules: {
email1: {
required: true,
email: true
},
email2: {
required: true,
email:true
}
},
messages: {
email1:{
required: "Required",
email: "Must be a valid email"
},
email2:{
required: "Required",
email: "Must be a valid email"
}
}
})
);
</script>
