JavaScript - Validation Through Javascript Issue
Hi,
I am working on simple project and it's for the institute Class project where i am learning php. i have to submit the project as soon as possible. But i am doing it different way then of i was supposed. Instead of validation message i want to use a picture or icon with Red error icon and Green yes icon as you can check in the attached picture. I am calling a function on submit button and if there is any error then using document.GetElementById('error').style.background="none" and ="pic url". I am getting output but it's just for a second then disappeared. I have already attached the Screen Shot to get the full idea.. Mainly i want to display red icon on error and green one when there is not error. Similar TutorialsI'm having a problem validating this script in w3c its the last one to make the page valid xhtml transitional. here are the errors w3c gives me for the code.the website in question is http://www.orgdesignz.com Error Line 2722, Column 31: document type does not allow element "p" here Code: document.write('<p class="no">We\'ve detected that you\'re using <strong>AdBlock Plus</strong> or some other adblocking software. Please be aware that this is only contributing to the demise of the site. We need money to operate the site, and almost all of that comes from our online advertising. To read more about why you should disable ABP, please <a href="#">click here</a>.<!-- end .content --></p>'); the error was detected on the > after "no" The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed). One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error). Thanks, Mike@orgdesignz Hello, On my client's site: www.twdcycling.com he wanted a place where people could make suggestions for his blog. I accomplished the simple form using a textarea field and even put a little text that clears on clicks and reappears on blur. When you go there--go to the bottom left. It also actually works. The problem is that (besides the fact that so far no one has cared to make a suggestion) somehow the form is (this is what I believe) being submitted automatically. I don't believe a human is clicking submit. When I click submit w/o clicking in the field the default text that I have in the field already gets submitted in the generated email. So I now need to work on my validation in my php file that sends the email. For background I obtained my php file from html-form-guide.com here the file is in its entirety: Code: <?php if(!isset($_POST['submit'])) { //This page should not be accessed directly. Need to submit the form. echo "error; you need to submit the form!"; } $name = $_POST['name']; $visitor_email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; //Validate first if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email)) { echo "Name and email are mandatory!"; exit; } if(IsInjected($visitor_email)) { echo "Bad email value!"; exit; } $email_from = 'tom@amazing-designs.com';//<== update the email address $email_subject = "New Form submission"; $email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n". "Here is the message:\n $message". $to = "tom@amazing-designs.com";//<== update the email address $headers = "From: $email_from \r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n"; //Send the email! mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers); //done. redirect to thank-you page. header('Location: thank-you.html'); // Function to validate against any email injection attempts function IsInjected($str) { $injections = array('(\n+)', '(\r+)', '(\t+)', '(%0A+)', '(%0D+)', '(%08+)', '(%09+)' ); $inject = join('|', $injections); $inject = "/$inject/i"; if(preg_match($inject,$str)) { return true; } else { return false; } } ?> It does have some validation code, and it also is set up to handle more parameters than I needed. I tried to just pare it down to the one simple thing (I just need the user to type anything they want into my text area) My reasoning is that I should be able to go get some simple validation snippet to make it so that if there is the possibility something is causing the form to just "fire off" w/o a human clicking, the validation shouldn't allow it to send, cause the text field is empty. But one would think if that is happening my default text would allow it to send, but oddly enough, no! when I get the email (last one at 5:49 am) it was a blank email! So its like some robot is doing two things: clicking in the field to empty it and THEN clicking submit! Weird, I know. But the validation code would fix this if only I knew how. (But on another note, if I try to send an empty box my default text pops back in when I click submit--proving that its happening automatically. I tried all morning yesterday to implement a snippet from several sources. Here's a couple of examples of what I added: Code: function emptyvalidation(entered, alertbox) { // Emptyfield Validation by Henrik Petersen / NetKontoret // Explained at www.echoecho.com/jsforms.htm // Please do not remove this line and the two lines above. with (entered) { if (value==null || value=="") {if (alertbox!="") {alert(alertbox);} return false;} else {return true;} } } I didn't modify this code at all....maybe where I went wrong here. Should "value" correspond to text area name "message"? (about the only thing I didn't try) Here's another one --this one from W3 schools: Code: function validateForm() { var x=document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value; if (x==null || x=="") { alert("First name must be filled out"); return false; } } this is how it was on the source site, all I changed was "myForm" and "fname" to "blog_suggestion" But when testing both these snippets separately what happened is that on submit I just go to my php page (which is just blank) I'm assuming code I'm adding is crashing the script somehow. And then of course no thank you page and no email sent. Finally here is my current php page in its entirety, followed by the form code on the home page... Code: <?php if(!isset($_POST['submit'])) { //This page should not be accessed directly. Need to submit the form. echo "error; you need to submit the form!"; } $message = $_POST['message']; //Validate first if(empty($message)) { echo "Please enter a suggestion before clicking submit."; exit; } $email_from = 'f7digitaldesign@gmail.com';//<== update the email address $email_subject = "SOMEONE HAS SUBMITTED A SUGGESTION FOR THE BLOG!"; $email_body = "\n $message". $to = "f7digitaldesign@gmail.com";//<== update the email address $headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" . //Send the email! mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers); //done. redirect to thank-you page. header('Location: thank-you.html'); // Function to validate against any email injection attempts function IsInjected($str) { $injections = array('(\n+)', '(\r+)', '(\t+)', '(%0A+)', '(%0D+)', '(%08+)', '(%09+)' ); $inject = join('|', $injections); $inject = "/$inject/i"; if(preg_match($inject,$str)) { return true; } else { return false; } } ?> I tried to modify the validation I got w/ this to produce the "echo" message "Please enter a suggestion before clicking submit." But let's be honest, by now you know I don't know what in the heck I'm doing (it doesn't seem to matter). Form code: Code: <form name="blog_suggetion" method="post" action="send_form_blogidea.php"> <span class="bloginfotext" ><textarea name="message" rows="14" cols="12" onfocus="clearValue(this, 'Please submit ideas for our blog here—we’d love to hear from you!')" onclick="this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Please submit ideas for our blog here—we’d love to hear from you!';}" ></textarea></span> <div style="font-size:6px; color:#FFF;">sdsadfds</div> <input type="submit" name='submit' value="submit"> </form> Any time spent and help offered for this is greatly appreciated!! Also if you need to/want to test the field, I don't care--send me a message. I'll know someone cares! Brian Hello I have some JS email validation which does not appear to be working. I originally had a form and decided to add validation to it, so I am adding JS to that original file. My original form used this: Code: <form action="form_script.asp" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="return onSubmitForm();"> and the validation script uses this: Code: <form name="theform" method="post" action="#" onSubmit="return check(this);"> I am trying to get them both to work. How would I do that, please? The test site is he http://proofreading4students.com/contact_test.asp Thanks for any help. Steve I can't seem to get any Email validation to work, at all. no matter what different tactic I try. Right now I'm trying the most simplest of tactics.. Code: if((document.subscribe.contacttype.selectedIndex==1) && (document.subscribe.email.value=="")){ alert("Please enter a Valid Email Address."); return false; } else{ if((document.subscribe.email.indexOf('@') < 0) || ((document.subscribe.email.charAt(email.length-4) != '.') && (document.subscribe.email.charAt(email.length-3) != '.'))) {alert("you have entered an invalid Email Address. Please try again."); } } } Any suggestions? my 'Email' feed is displayed after the 'drop-down selector' has been chosen, thus, the invoking of the if selectedIndex==1 && email.value="" return false;. Thanks for your assistance ahead of time. Ok, so I'm using two different scripts for my websites registrations. One is genvalidatorv4, from here. Now, instead of messing around with messy regular expressions for a birthday validation, I decided to hunt around for something procedural like the Facebook registration. I found this. Now I have the validation running great up until the bday picker. See, that script uses Jquery to output the form select boxes on a page load. Here's the form's code: Code: <form action="new_client_exec.php" id="newClient" method="post"> <span> <label for='FirstName'>First Name:</label> <input type="text" id="FirstName" name="FirstName" /> <div id='newClient_FirstName_errorloc' class='error_strings'></div> </span> <span> <label for='LastName'>Last Name:</label> <input type="text" id="LastName" name="LastName" /> <div id='newClient_LastName_errorloc' class='error_strings'></div> </span> <span> <label for='Email'>Email:</label> <input type="text" id="Email" name="Email" /> <div id='newClient_Email_errorloc' class='error_strings'></div> </span> <span> <label for='ConfirmEmail'>Confirm Email:</label> <input type="text" id="ConfirmEmail" name="ConfirmEmail" /> <div id='newClient_ConfirmEmail_errorloc' class='error_strings'></div> </span> <span> <div id="bdayLabel">Birthday:</div> <div class="picker" id="bdaypicker"></div> <div class="clear"></div> <div id='newClient_birthmonth_errorloc' class='error_strings'></div> </span> <span> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </span> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> var frmvalidator = new Validator("newClient") frmvalidator.EnableOnPageErrorDisplay(); frmvalidator.EnableMsgsTogether(); frmvalidator.addValidation("FirstName","req","Please enter your First Name"); frmvalidator.addValidation("FirstName","maxlen=24","Max length is 24"); frmvalidator.addValidation("LastName","req","Please enter your Last Name"); frmvalidator.addValidation("LastName","maxlen=24","Max length is 24"); frmvalidator.addValidation("Email","maxlen=50", "Max length is 50"); frmvalidator.addValidation("Email","req", "Please enter your Email"); frmvalidator.addValidation("Email","email", "This email appears to be invalid"); frmvalidator.addValidation("ConfirmEmail","req", "Please confirm your Email"); frmvalidator.addValidation("ConfirmEmail","eqelmnt=Email", "The confirmed password is not same as password"); </script> Now, when the page is run, it adds the bday fieldset into the <div class="picker" id="bdaypicker"></div>. As you can see, the validator accesses the field data via the "name" attribute, so I try to add validation to what the ids and names that the picker script adds but it doesn't work. Now, I'm fairly new to Javascript and it's derivatives, but if classes, ids, and names are already being used or generated by other scripts, does that not allow you to access them elsewhere in a different script? I've tried just about everything else, including going into that picker script and modifying the names and ids it outputs. I'm sorry for not being able to post a full html page. I don't want links to this site floating around out there yet. If I need to I'll post a dummy page with all the necessary code. Thanks for any help! Hello all, I have had a look around the forums, but cannot find the answer that I am after. basically, I have a text area to enter a search, and I have already written the JavaScript part of it (unsure if this is where the problem lies). The text that will go into the text area is a URL. the search button is disabled if there are spaces in the query, or if the field is blank, else the button is enabled. The problem I'm having may or may not be to do with my script. The HTML is set to 'onKeyUp' and 'onBlur' to run the function. now, it works fine, unless the user uses the mouse to copy and paste a URL into the text area. the button remains disabled until the user focuses out of the text area then back in. if ctrl+v is used, then the function works. If you would like to see the script I have written let me know, I hope you have some ideas Thanks in advance! My code is working pretty well, except I have an issue validating. I think it may be to do with when there is an empty string. I know that NaN is Not a Number, but the only issue I can find with my code is when I input a non-digit such as "k" for example. And because I have put some code in to reload the page when it does not validate, when it refreshes it has 2 popup boxes. Thanks for taking the time to read my post Code: <html> <head> <title>Sound Travel Calculator</title> <script type="text/javascript"> // Setting our variables based on user input var hours = 0; var mins = 0; var m_per_secs = 340; alert("Speed of Sound \n\nAt Sea Level Sound Travels At 340 Metres Per Second \n\nIf You Would Like To Know How Far Sound Will Travel In A Given Time, Click OK"); hours = prompt("Please Enter Hours (If less than 1 hour, just type 0)"); mins = prompt("Please Enter Minutes"); // Validating input for a number less than zero or an not a number if ((isNaN(hours)) || (hours < 0) || (isNaN(mins)) || (mins < 0)) { alert("Please enter a numeric value, zero or greater"); window.location.reload(true); } // if there is no input, the value is set to zero if (hours =="") { hours = 0; } if (mins =="") { mins = 0; } // Calculations dist = (((parseFloat(hours)) * 60 * 60) + (parseFloat(mins * 60)) * parseFloat(m_per_secs) / 1000) // Output our calculation alert("The Distance of Sound Travelled is " + (dist) + " Kilometres"); </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> I have two simple forms on the site, each captures an email address they are for two separate languages. However when I try to validate, only one validates and the other one doesn't Javascript: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function checkform ( form ) { // ** START ** if (form.email.value == "") { alert( "Please enter your email address." ); form.email.focus(); return false ; } // ** END ** return true ; } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function checkform ( form ) { // ** START ** if (form.email2.value == "") { alert( "Please enter your email address." ); form.email2.focus(); return false ; } // ** END ** return true ; } </script> Form 1- It Validates Just Fine Code: <form name="quote" method="post" action="contact.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);"> <td> <input name="email" style=" background-color:#FFFFFF; width:200px; height:13; font-size:11px; color:#666666" type="text" /></td> <td> <input style="border:none" type="image" name="imageField" id="image" src="submit.jpg" /> </td> </form> Form2 Doesn't Validate Code: <form name="quote" method="post" action="contact.php" onsubmit="return checkform(this);"> <td><input name="email2" style=" background-color:#FFFFFF; width:200px; height:13; font-size:11px; color:#666666" type="text" /></td> <td> <input style="border:none" type="image" name="imageField2" id="image2" src="submit2.jpg" /> </td> </form> Hi, I have a simple bit of HTML / Javascript to validate email addresses entered into a field, split by a comma. Code: <html> <body> <form name="myForm" onsubmit="return chkEmail()" method="post"> e: <input type="text" name="fname"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Code: function validateEmail(email) { var re = /^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$/; return re.test(email); } function chkEmail(){ var myString = document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value; var mySplitResult = myString.split(","); for(i = 0; i < mySplitResult.length; i++){ emailCheck = validateEmail(mySplitResult[i]); alert(mySplitResult[i] + " - " + emailCheck); if (emailCheck = 'false') { alert(emailCheck); } } } If I enter e.g. "you@me.com,this@that.com" into the form, the alert debugs show: First: you@me.com - true Second: false Third: this@that.com - true Fourth: false The first debug seems to show that the condition is true, but then the if statement to check for a "false" value is firing, showing the value of "emailCheck" = "false", even though on the preceding alert, the value = "true". I'm not sure what's going wrong. Apologies for any silly mistakes. I also put my code he http://jsfiddle.net/XYyZa/ Thanks I am new to this forum.. and I am hoping to get help with this javascript validation for my form for my assignment. trying to validate multiple fields. I have never done javascript, so with my limited understanding from Google, I put together code snippets. Problems: 1.

I am trying to do some sim[ple form validation using javascript. I have a simple html 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>Send Card</title> <script language="JavaScript" src="gen_validatorv31.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body> <form action="getName.php" onsubmit="return validate_form(this);"> Receiver (To): <input type="text" name="name"><br> Sender (From): <input type="text" name="sender"><br> Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Which calls up my javascript and php file (The php file should only be used when the javascript has found no errors). Now I have a js file which does some validation Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate_required(field,alerttxt) { with (field) { if (value==null||value=="") { alert(alerttxt); return false; } else { return true; } } } function validate_email(field,alerttxt) { with (field) { apos=value.indexOf("@") dotpos=value.lastIndexOf(".") if (apos<1||dotpos-apos<2) { alert(alerttxt); return false; } else { return true; } } } function validate_form(thisform) { with (thisform) { if (validate_required(name,"Please specify your name!")==false) { name.focus(); return false; } if (validate_required(sender,"Please specify the receivers name!")==false) { sender.focus(); return false; } if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false) { email.focus(); return false; } if (validate_email(email,"Not a valid e-mail address!")==false) { email.focus(); return false; } } } </script> When I run it on my server, I get the form and enter nothing into it, I just click submit. However, it goes straight to the php file and brings up my flash movie, which it shouldnt do. When nothing is entered, the js file should return the error. I thought I had everything set up correctly, but obviously not. Can someone see where I am going wrong? cheers Hi, validation for pin must not be allow given below conditions 6 rising consecutive numbers(e.g 123456,456789 etc) 6 Descending consecutive numbers (eg. 654321,987654) All same digit (eg 111111,222222) Same digit appearing 3 or more time in pin code (eg:121212,1111432) for some reason this is not working can anyone tell me why?

orderForm.submit.disabled=false; } } i cant seem to get this to work, forgetting about the 3rd checkbox for now any help would be greatly appreciated! could anyone tell me how to do this? i don't know anything about javascript, but it is the most elegant way to validate a form. i have 2 questions asked in a form (name=questions). First question are radio buttons with 3 answers (name=answer). Second is a questions with a numeric value as answer with max 10 characters (name=questionb). Could anyone tell me where to start?
