JavaScript - Form Input Length Validation
I'm trying to figure out how to add a length paramater to this function. Not quite sure how to do it. here's what I tried:
Code: var phone = document.getElementById('phone'); if(isNumericdashes(phone, "Please enter a valid phone number")){ return true; } function isNumericdashes(elem, helperMsg){ var numericExpression = /^[0-9\(\)-]+$/; if(elem.value.match(numericExpression) &&(elem.length > 9)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } Similar TutorialsHi I have a problem with a form in my site he http://www.21centuryanswers.com/submit.php if no field is filled and you click submit, an alert will be shown, yet the next page will still load! How do I fix it? the code for the form is: <form action="privacy.php" method="post" onsubmit="return checkform(this);"> <fieldset> <center> E-mail: <input type="textfield" name="email" size="60" value="" /><br/></br> Question: <input type="textfield" name="question" size="70" value="" /><br/><br/> <input type="submit" value = "Submit"/> </center> </fieldset> </form> and here is the validation script: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function checkform ( form ) { // ** START ** if (form.email.value == "") { alert( "Please enter your email." ); form.author.focus(); return false ; } if (form.question.value == "") { alert( "Please enter the question." ); form.title.focus(); return false ; } // ** END ** return true ; } //--> </script> Please help! My array is like so... shp[0][0] = 5; shp[0][1] = "A5"; shp[0][2] = "A2"; shp[0][3] = "A1"; shp[0][4] = "A4"; shp[0][5] = "A3"; shp[1][0] = 4; shp[1][1] = "C3"; shp[1][2] = "C4"; shp[1][3] = "C1"; shp[1][4] = "C2"; shp[2][0] = 3; shp[2][1] = "E1"; shp[2][2] = "E3"; shp[2][3] = "E2"; shp[3][0] = 3; shp[3][1] = "G3"; shp[3][2] = "G2"; shp[3][3] = "G1"; shp[4][0] = 2; shp[4][1] = "I2"; shp[4][2] = "I1"; the results I am after is... shp[0][0] = 5; shp[0][1] = "A1"; shp[0][2] = "A2"; shp[0][3] = "A3"; shp[0][4] = "A4"; shp[0][5] = "A5"; shp[1][0] = 4; shp[1][1] = "C1"; shp[1][2] = "C2"; shp[1][3] = "C3"; shp[1][4] = "C4"; shp[2][0] = 3; shp[2][1] = "E1"; shp[2][2] = "E2"; shp[2][3] = "E3"; shp[3][0] = 3; shp[3][1] = "G1"; shp[3][2] = "G2"; shp[3][3] = "G3"; shp[4][0] = 2; shp[4][1] = "I1"; shp[4][2] = "I2"; so it sorts all from the second part of the array to the end in alpha-numerical order. I tried the following but i get errors about Cannot call method 'unshift' of undefined. // var shp; var shpbk; var shpbktemp; // shpbk = shp.slice(); shpbktemp[0] = shpbk[0][0]; shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].shift; shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].sort; shpbk[0] = shpbk[0].unshift(shpbktemp[0]); shpbktemp[1] = shpbk[1][0]; shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].shift; shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].sort; shpbk[1] = shpbk[1].unshift(shpbktemp[1]); shpbktemp[2] = shpbk[2][0]; shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].shift; shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].sort; shpbk[2] = shpbk[2].unshift(shpbktemp[2]); shpbktemp[3] = shpbk[3][0]; shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].shift; shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].sort; shpbk[3] = shpbk[3].unshift(shpbktemp[3]); shpbktemp[4] = shpbk[4][0]; shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].shift; shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].sort; shpbk[4] = shpbk[4].unshift(shpbktemp[4]); function checkValidFormInput() { if (document.getElementsByName('customerName').value != '') { document.getElementById('customerNameImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/greenTick.png">'; } else { document.getElementById('customerNameImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png">'; } if (document.getElementsByName('customerEmail').length > 0) { document.getElementById('customerEmailImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Valid" src="images/greenTick.png">'; } else { document.getElementById('customerEmailImg').innerHTML = '<img alt="Invalid" src="images/redX.png">'; } } I need to have an online submission form, which accepts text for print adverts. Here is my problem: Whereas with Twitter, you are limited to 140 characters as the output is digital, with print the overall width of text is vital if it has to fit within a given space. Are there any javascript software libraries available that can calculate the printed length? Preferably as the user types. This assumes that the font, font-size and kerning are known. (I do not want to use the 'Courier' font) We will have to write this in-house unless there is something available on the internets (I'm possibly not the first person to come up against this) Can anyone help? (I've posted this at 'graphicdesignforum' but figure the readership will be different) im suppose to validate an ID text field so that is it mandatory, and must be 6 numeric digits. The code i have for the ID field is: Code: <form id="ThisForm"> <label for="emId"> Employee ID: </label></td> <input type="text" name="empID" id="emId" ;"/> </form> I'm beginner to javascript and really has no idea what to do, can someone help pls. Anyone know how do I use javascript to limit the numeric amount enetered in a text box less than 1000?
I am thinking this should be fairly easy but yet I am not getting far. I want to have a form with a single text imput field for a zip code. Depending on which zip code the user enters will determine which url they will be sent to. If they enter a zip code which is not in the script, they would be sent to a default url. I am also assuming this can be accomplished with javascript. Any help is greatly appreciated. i have been trying to edit the below code so i can validate text fields and numeric fields but whenever i try it bypasses all validation and executed the php script. Can someone please let me know what i'm doing wrong fld = form.elements['name']; if ( !isValidText( fld.value ) ) { msg = 'The name is not valid.'; addValidationField(fld); addValidationMessage(msg); } function isValidText(val) { var re = /^\s{1,}$/g; if ((mytext.value.length==0) || (mytext.value==null) || ((mytext.value.search(re)) > -1)) { return true; }else { return false; } } Code: fld = form.elements['email']; if ( !isValidEmail( fld.value ) ) { msg = 'The email address is not valid.'; addValidationField(fld); addValidationMessage(msg); } the above code calls: Code: function isValidEmail(val) { var re = /^[\w\+\'\.-]+@[\w\'\.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/; // /^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9_\-\.]*)@([a-z0-9_\-\.]*)(\.[a-z]{2,4}(\.[a-z]{2}){0,2})$/i; if (!re.test(val)) { return false; } return true; } the entire script is as follows Code: /* order form code from dyn-web.com */ // onchange of qty field entry function getProductTotal(field) { clearErrorInfo(); var form = field.form; if (field.value == "") field.value = 0; if ( !isPosInt(field.value) ) { var msg = 'Please enter a positive integer for quantity.'; addValidationMessage(msg); addValidationField(field) displayErrorInfo( form ); return; } else { var product = field.name.slice(0, field.name.lastIndexOf("_") ); var price = form.elements[product + "_price"].value; var amt = field.value * price; form.elements[product + "_tot"].value = formatDecimal(amt); doTotals(form); } } function doTotals(form) { var total = 0; for (var i=0; PRODUCT_ABBRS[i]; i++) { var cur_field = form.elements[ PRODUCT_ABBRS[i] + "_qty" ]; if ( !isPosInt(cur_field.value) ) { var msg = 'Please enter a positive integer for quantity.'; addValidationMessage(msg); addValidationField(cur_field) displayErrorInfo( form ); return; } total += parseFloat(cur_field.value) * parseFloat( form.elements[ PRODUCT_ABBRS[i] + "_price" ].value ); } form.elements['total'].value = formatDecimal(total); } function finalCheck(form) { clearErrorInfo(); var msg = '', fld; // final check of quantity entries' validity for (var i=0; PRODUCT_ABBRS[i]; i++) { var cur_field = form.elements[ PRODUCT_ABBRS[i] + "_qty" ]; if ( !isPosInt(cur_field.value) ) { msg = 'Please enter a positive integer for quantity.'; addValidationField(cur_field) } } if (msg) { // one msg for qty flds addValidationMessage(msg); } ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // add check on email and any other required fields here fld = form.elements['email']; if ( !isValidEmail( fld.value ) ) { msg = 'The email address is not valid.'; addValidationField(fld); addValidationMessage(msg); } // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// if (msg) { // if any error msg's, display and cancel submission displayErrorInfo( form ); return false; } // check if a quantity entered if (form.elements['total'].value == 0) { msg = "You haven't ordered anything."; addValidationMessage(msg); displayErrorInfo( form ); return false; } return true; } function isValidEmail(val) { var re = /^[\w\+\'\.-]+@[\w\'\.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/; // /^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9_\-\.]*)@([a-z0-9_\-\.]*)(\.[a-z]{2,4}(\.[a-z]{2}){0,2})$/i; if (!re.test(val)) { return false; } return true; } // onclick function checkValue(field) { if (field.value == 0) field.value = ""; } // onblur function reCheckValue(field) { if (field.value == "") field.value = 0; } function isPosInt(val) { var re = /^\d+$/ if ( !re.test(val) ) { return false; } return true; } // format val to n number of decimal places // modified version of Danny Goodman's (JS Bible) function formatDecimal(val, n) { n = n || 2; var str = "" + Math.round ( parseFloat(val) * Math.pow(10, n) ); while (str.length <= n) str = "0" + str; var pt = str.length - n; return str.slice(0,pt) + "." + str.slice(pt); } Hello all, I have in my application input type file for uploading files. How can i do javascript validation to check if filename has special characters in it?? Thanks As you can see the above warning will be only shown when there is an error while inserting the data into the login form. Now I have tried to achieve it by: Hiding the div say "warning". Use a javascript while submitting the form to check for input validation. If found any error, the hidden div "warning" will show above the form as shown as in the image. I have tried it in Edit fiddle - JSFiddle Ples help I'm having trouble figuring out this code. I have a isInitialsTextValid function that checks to see if the user enters their initials in the correct format. Then I have a function checkInitials. In the checkInitials function I am supposed (1)to declare a variable to be used for the boolean value returned by the isInitialsTextValid function.(2)call the isInitialsTextValid function.(3)If the value returned is false, place focus back on initials textbox.(4)If the value return is true call the submit function. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, but I get a checkInitials is no defined error from firefox and it is pointing to my xhtml file. Here is the relevant code.

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, i want to set an input value to the same value as the input selected from another input on the same form so when the user selects input 1 i want the hidden input2 to get the same value im guessing i use onsubmit because its hidden so there wont be a focus or blur this would be part of the input Code: onsubmit="(this.value = this.othervalue)" othervalue being the other input name="othervalue" is that the correct syntax 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;

(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.

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 } }); }); 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?

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!" /> <input type="hidden" name="destination_email" value="dauidus@gmail.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="required_fields" value="" /> <label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="your name" /> <label for="email">Email</label> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="your email" /> <label for="yourmessage">Your Message</label> <textarea name="yourmessage" id="yourmessage" value="I would like to inquire about" style="margin-bottom:20px;" />I would like to inquire about</textarea> <input class="send submit" id="submit" type="submit" value="" style="position: relative; bottom: -70px; left: 25px; " /> </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!!
