JavaScript - Javascript Form Validation
Hi Guys,
I have trying to validate my form using JavaScript. On blur of the a text box I am calling a function in JavaScript which checks if the text box is empty or not.... If the text box is empty it display an appropriate error message. The issue I am facing is that, for the first time if any user does not enter any value in the text box, the JS function is invoked and an appropriate error message is displayed.... So when the user tried to enter a value in the text box, a drop down list appear from the past forms data. (The drop down value appear because the user has already filled in the form in the past. Hence the Browser remember the data filed in, and displays it as a drop down list.) This allows the user to select any values from the drop down list to fill in the box.* After the user has selected the appropriate value from the drop down and takes its mouse cursor and navigates to another text box in the form, the first error message does not disappear. The form does not recognize that the value filed has already been filled in the first filed.* If the user actually types into the field it recognizes that the text box has a filed is filled. Please may I know how to solve this issue. Similar TutorialsI'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">

Where is my mistake? And how to solve it to make javascript validation work properly? Hello, I am using the following javascript to validate a text field on my site: Code: function checkExpire(form)
{
// regular expression to match required date format
re = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/;
if(form.txtExpire.value != '' && !form.txtExpire.value.match(re)) {
alert("Invalid date format: " + form.txtExpire.value);
form.txtExpire.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
The above code works fine for the following situations: The default value of the field is: __/__/____ The JavaScript code above will not accept that for a field value. If a user inputs the following for a date 5_/7_/11__ for May 7th, 2011 the JavaScript will not accept the format it must be entered as: 05/07/2011 (in order to clear the validation)... NOW HERE IS WHAT I NEED THE JAVASCRIPT TO DO: 1) It needs to accept __/__/____ as a value that can be inserted into the database 2) still retains the code above so 5_/7_/11__ is not an acceptable date but 05/07/2011 will work just fine 3) Now... the default value of the text field in Internet Explorer is __/__/____ but the value is blank in Mozilla Firefox so in an instance where the text field is completely blank I need the JavaScript to assign the value '__/__/____' ... SO FAR: I did at one point get both the validation working so it worked for rules 1 and 2 mentioned above but I completely destroyed it while trying to integrate rule 3 into the functionality. So I know this can be accomplished with a series of if / else statements as well as assigning a value to a form object to handle rule# 3 ... I am just a novice getting ready to turn intermediate in JavaScript so any help, guidance, reference or example / sample code you could give me would be much appreciated. Thank your for your assitance and I hope you are all doing well. Cordially, aRK I have a form validation script that runs perfect. Now i want to add one more field to the form and want to make some fields "required" but i dont know how to do this. Please help me. I am also attaching the relevant files. Thanks in advance. Fields to add: 1. Social Security Number (Same as Home Telephone but allows 3 digits in 1st field, 2 in 2nd and 4in 3rd field (123)-(12)-(1234)) Fields to make "required" : Social Security Number First Name Last Name The Script Code: var phoneRegEx = /^(?:(?:\(?(?:(?:[246-8](?:(?:[02-8][0-9])|(?:1[02-9])))|(?:3(?:(?:[02-68][0-9])|(?:1[02-9])))|(?:5(?:(?:[02-46-8][0-9])|(?:5[0-46-9])|(?:1[02-9])))|(?:9(?:(?:[02-578][0-9])|(?:1[02-9]))))\)?)(?:[\- ]?)(?:(?:700(?:[\- ]?)(?:(?:[0-35-9][0-9]{3})|(?:4[02-9][0-9]{2})|(?:41[0-35-9][0-9])|(?:414[02-9])))|(?:(?:(?:[23468][02-9][0-9])|(?:[2-9]1[02-9])|(?:5(?:(?:5[0-46-9])|(?:[02346-9][0-9])|(?:1[02-9])))|(?:7(?:(?:[2-9][0-9])|(?:0[1-9])|(?:1[02-9])))|(?:9(?:(?:[0234689][0-9])|(?:1[02-9])|(?:5[1-7])|(?:7[0-5789]))))(?:[\- ]?)(?:[0-9]{4}))))$/;

Thanks very much in advance. 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? Thanks, Walter I have a form developed in Dreamweaver CS5 using Spry Assets, I have 2 required fields in the form. One is email the other is phone. I want the user to only have to fill in one or the other, but one or the other needs to be filled out.

Hi i need help with an assignment that validates forms using javascript. Using my instructors example as a guide, i wrote this if you click submit on the example it properly returns false and displays an error message, in my assignment it does nothing but submit to the echo while im trying to get an error message. The assignment is unfinished but i wanted to test out the first bit of code and its not working. Hiya, Got a form located at the following link: http://www.boostcreative.com/MA/ In short, trying to make it so that the user can type multiple numbers into the various fields and in real time they add up. If it hits the magic number, they can submit the form. The problem I'm having is the form validation. Any thoughts as to how I would set it so that the form is only submitted if the magic number is reached? (In this case 200) Thanks! Code: $(document).ready(function(){
$(".addition").each(function() {
$(this).keyup(function(){
calculateSum();
});
});
});
function calculateSum() {
var sum = 0;
$(".addition").each(function() {
if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
sum += parseFloat(this.value);
if ( sum == 200 ) {
$('#negative').hide();$('#positive').show();}
if ( sum != 200 ) {
$('#negative').show();$('#positive').hide();}
}
});
$("#sum").html(sum.toFixed(0));
}
function validateForm()
{
var total = 0;
$(".addition").each(function() {
if(!isNaN(this.value) && this.value.length!=0) {
total += parseFloat(this.value);
if ( total != 200 ) {
alert("That Total is incorrect");
return false;
}
}
Code: <form method="post" action="contactForm.php" name="MAloyalty" id="MAloyalty" onsubmit="return validateForm(this)" > 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>

Any help we be appreciated. Regards. Hello: I am using javascript validation for submitting a form. All the other fields are working except for the Terms of Use checkbox. It sends and alert and says it wasn't checked whether or not you check it. It also submits the form whether or not it is checked immediately after the alert. The field is called df_Terms. Can anyone see anything I am missing? Code:
<script>
//submit after validation functionality
function submit_onclick() {
var proceed = false;
if (typeof validateForm == "function") {
proceed = validateForm();
}
else {
proceed = true;
}
return proceed;
}
//validation functionality
function validateForm() {
if ((document.form1.df_Plans[0].checked == false) && (document.form1.df_Plans[1].checked == false)) {
alert("Please select Your Plan");
document.form1.df_Plans[0].focus();
return false;
}
if ("" == document.form1.df_first_Name1.value) {
alert("Please enter your First Name");
document.form1.df_first_Name1.focus();
return false;
}
if ("" == document.form1.df_last_Name1.value) {
alert("Please enter your Last Name.");
document.form1.df_last_Name1.focus();
return false;
}
if ("" == document.form1.df_email1.value) {
alert("Please enter your email.");
document.form1.df_email1.focus();
return false;
}
validRegExp = /^[^@]+@[^@]+.[a-z]{2,}$/i;
strEmail = document.form1.df_email1.value;
if (strEmail.search(validRegExp) == -1) {
alert("A valid e-mail address is required.");
document.form1.df_email1.focus();
return false;
}
if (!document.form1.df_Terms.checked == 1) {
alert("Please agree to the Terms of Use.");
document.form1.df_Terms.focus();
return false;
}
}
//reset field functionality
function reset_onclick() {
for (i = 0; i < document.form1.elements.length; i++) {
if (document.form1.elements[i].type == "text") {
document.form1.elements[i].value = "";
}
if (document.form1.elements[i].type == "checkbox") {
document.form1.elements[i].checked = false;
}
if (document.form1.elements[i].type == "radio") {
document.form1.elements[i].checked = false;

I'm trying to do a simple validation to see if the field is blank, if it is, I want to write a message to a div. I've added the function call to an onclick. It seems to be set off no matter if there is a value or not, and what's more, the fields are clearing out when the link is clicked. My brain is mush right now, so what am I missing? Code: function validateThis() {
document.getElementById('messages').innerHTML = ''
var theMessage = '';
var reqMsg = 'must have a value.';
for (var i = 0; i <document.theForm1.elements.length; i++) {
if (document.theForm1.elements[i].value = ' ') {
theMessage += document.theForm1.elements[i].name +' ' + reqMsg +'<br/>';
}}
document.getElementById('messages').innerHTML = theMessage;
}
Hello there, I hope you might be able to help me with an issue I'm having getting a form to validate before submission. I've been trying to figure out where I'm going wrong but being relatively new to javascript I'm obviously missing something. I have a form which calls one of two validation scripts with onBlur for each field (I've only included one of each field, there are 8 fields in total in the form): Code:
<form name="submitrunnertime" action="http://......reflect.php" onsubmit="return valResultsForm();" method="post">
<table>
<tr><td><label for="RunnerID">Runner ID</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="RunnerID" size="5" maxlength="5" onBlur="valRange(RunnerID, 1, 99999, 'RunnerID_bk');" />
</td><td id="RunnerID_bk"><span></span></td></tr>
<tr><td><label for="">Date (YYYY-MM-DD)</label></td>
<td><input type="text" name="Date" size="10" maxlength="10" onBlur="valExpression(Date, '^(19[0-9{2}|20[01][0-9])\-(0[1-9]|1[012])\-([012][0-9]|3[01])$', 'Date_bk', 'please use indicated format');" />
</td><td id="Date_bk"><span></span></td></tr>
etc. etc.
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submitrunnertime" value="submit">
</form>
I've managed to get each individual field to validate as the form is filled in. Now, if I fill valResultsForm.js with a simple line return false; then the form refuses to submit as it should do, but if I try and re-run the validation of each field so that the form will only submit if all fields have been filled in correctly, even if I force valResultsForm to return a false result, the form still submits. I just can't figure out why it is doing this and it's driving me around the bend. valResultsForm looks like: Code:
function valResultsForm() {
var res1 = valRange(RunnerID, 1, 99999, 'RunnerID_bk');
var res2 = valExpression(Date, '^(19[0-9{2}|20[01][0-9])\-(0[1-9]|1[012])\-([012][0-9]|3[01])$', 'Date_bk', 'please use indicated format');
if (res1 == true && res2 == true) {
return true;
}
else { return false; }
}
Any hints or advice that anyone could give me would be hugely appreciated. Thank you, Andrew I have a simple form and am validating onchange and need a final validation onsubmit. I am displaying a message to the right of the inputbox on error. I'm trying to keep this at DOM 1 compatible and not use any framework. HTML Code: <form id = "myForm" action = "" onsubmit = "return validateForm(this);">
<table class = "table-submit" border = "0">
<tr>
<td>
Username:
</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" id = "username"
size = "30" maxlength = "30"
onchange = "validateUsername(this, 'msgUsername')" />
</td>
<td id = "msgUsername">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Password:
</td>
<td>
<input type = "password" id = "password"
size = "30" maxlength = "30"
onchange = "validatePassword(this, 'msgPassword')" />
</td>
<td id = "msgPassword">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit" />
<input type = "reset" value = "Clear" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

// kind of stuck here...
}
As you may of noticed, I am a bit stuck on my validateForm() function. The code validates on each inputbox onchange event. Not sure what is the best way to go from here. I thought about doing an If for my both single input box validation, but I would need to send each parameters which is what i was trying to avoid by using this. Would like some suggestions. Below is some code I wrote for my assignment that is due tonight; however, I can't seem to get any of the validation features to work. Can someone help me? I'm really new to javascript and struggling through it, but really want to figure this out. Here are the things I'm trying to do: -Validate each textbox to make sure they aren't empty -Validate one textbox to make sure that the text entered is numeric only -Validate the two email addresses for proper email format -Validate the two email addresses to make sure they are exactly alike -Show all of your errors at once, in one alert box, not individually. -Only check for matching emails if the first is valid. Here is my attempt at the code: [CODE] <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- Hide from older browsers var ProductInquiryForm; function Validate( ProductInquiryForm ) { formName = ProductInquiryForm; } function ValidEmail( EmailSearch ) { var txtEmail = EmailSearch.value; var intAtSign = txtEmail.indexOf("@"); var intLastDot = txtEmail.lastIndexOf("."); if( txtEmail == "" || txtEmail == null ) { return false; } if( intAtSign == -1 || intLastDot == -1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot < intAtSign ) { return false; } if( intLastDot - intAtSign == 1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot >= txtEmail.length-2 ) { return false; } else { return true; } } function ValidEmail( ConfirmEmailSearch ) { var txtEmail = ConfirmEmailSearch.value; var intAtSign = txtEmail.indexOf("@"); var intLastDot = txtEmail.lastIndexOf("."); if( txtEmail == "" || txtEmail == null ) { return false; } if( intAtSign == -1 || intLastDot == -1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot < intAtSign ) { return false; } if( intLastDot - intAtSign == 1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot >= txtEmail.length-2 ) { return false; } if (EmailSearch!= ConfirmEmailSearch) { return false; } else { return true; } } function ApprovedEmail ( ConfirmEmailSearch ) { if( HasText(EmailSearch) && ValidEmail(EmailSearch) && HasText(ConfirmEmailSearch) && ValidEmail(ConfirmEmailSearch)) { return true; } else { alert("A valid email must be entered and match in both fields!"); return false; } } function validateZIP(ZIPSearch) { if( ZIPSearch.value != 0||1||2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9) { alert("Please enter digits only for the ZIP code."); return false; } if (field.length!=5) { alert("Please enter no more than 5 digits for your ZIP code."); return false; } function HasText( ProductSearchDescription ) { if( ProductSearchDescription.value.length != 0 ) { return true; } else { alert("Please enter your product needs."); return false; } } // Stop hiding --> </script> <noscript> This site uses JavaScript code for validation and calculations based on user input. </noscript> <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="intercept-searchform.asp" onsubmit="return Validate(this)"> <div> <label for="EmailSearch">Email Address:</label> <input name="EmailSearch" type="text" class="TextBox" id="EmailSearch" /> </div> <div> <label for="ConfirmEmailSearch">Confirm Email Address:</label> <input name="ConfirmEmailSearch" type="text" class="TextBox" id="ConfirmEmailSearch" /> </div> <div> <label for="ZIPSearch">ZIP Code</label> <input name="ZIPSearch" type="zip" class="zip" id="zip" /> </div> <div> <label for="ProductSearchDescription">Describe the product you are looking for.</label> <textarea name="ProductSearchDescription" id="ProductSearchDescription" class= "Comments" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea> </div> <br /> <div id="buttons"> <input name="Submit" type="Submit" value="Submit" /> <input name="Reset" type="Reset" /> </div> </form> [CODE] Thank you so much to anyone willing to help give me some guidance! Hello, I am a computing pupil currently taking part in a computer science project at GCSE level. Our project is a research task regarding web form validation, JavaScript and embedding JavaScript into HTML code. I have no prior knowledge of any of these topics, so would be very interested in hearing your opinions on the aboce. I would also like to know your opinion on how effective JavaScript validation is, possibly in your field of work, or just your experience of using it? Thanks in advance, Ellen Hello Coding Forum gurus, I'm hoping to find some help here with a javascript order form. I am currently working on a javascript form that requires field validation as well as a summary page (order confirmation) after every field is entered correctly. At this point I am satisfied with the field validation portion of the script, however, I am not sure how to call a function to display the summary page. here is a description of my dilemma: To begin, the field validation functions are called by the form's onsubmit event handler. Which then works it way through several text field validation functions. After the script finishes validating and checking each field for acceptable input, how do I call a function to display a summary page of the order form? On a side note, the only programming experience I have ever had is with javascript. I have never taken any other programming classes, and I am fairly new to this. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if I am allowed to post the entire script here or not but I'd be willing to send to anyone that would like to take a look, HUGE THANK YOU in advance to anyone that takes time out of their busy schedules to take a look. Hey, I'm looking for different JS form validation techniques. I've seen quite a few but nothing that really stands out. I'm particularly interested in finding design techniques...ie: how and where are the errors displayed inside a form? I realize that I can't count on JS for validation, but I'm trying to add an assistive technology to make a web form feel more like a web application. I'd love to see your favorite way of displaying form errors via JS. I've got a few of my own but if you've ever tried to do this you know it's a difficult problem to handle the general case. Thanks! |
