JavaScript - Radio Validation Not Working
I wrote a function to to validate some elements in my form and for some reason I can't seem to figure out why my radio validation is not working. There are about 3 to 4 radio buttons. all with the same name, but i need to make sure that at least one out of this group is selected.
Below is my code. Any help would be very useful. Thanks! JS: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate_required(field,alerttxt,select) { with (field) { if (value==null||value=="") { alert(alerttxt);return false; } else { return true; } } } function validate_form(thisform) { with (thisform) { if (document.getElementsByName('sleeper').checked==false) { window.alert('Please select a sleeper') return false;} } } //last </script> Form: Code: <form name="week_picks" method="post" action="confirm.php" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)"> <input name="sleeper" type="radio" value="<?=$sleeper;?>" /> <input name="sleeper" type="radio" value="<?=$sleeper;?>" /> <input name="sleeper" type="radio" value="<?=$sleeper;?>" /> etc... </form> Similar Tutorialshow would i check to see if my radio button is not checked. I know in javascript the term "checked" works. Is there a way to us unchecked? here is what i am trying to figure out. Code: with (thisform) { if(document.getElementById('m21').unchecked) { window.alert('Please Verify Your Age') m21.focus(); return false;} } Wondering how come this doesn't work any ideas? its validating that the radio buttons have been selected. Code: if ( ( form.q1[0].checked == false ) && ( form.q2[1].checked == false) && ( form.q3[2].checked == false )) { alert ( "Please Choose a " ); return false; } Hi everyone. I'm getting into javascript coding and i'm stumped with some problem about radio buttons. What I would like is to have a general function where I can pass in any group of radio buttons and have it return the textual value of the radio button selected. First, here is my code so far. Code: function Get_Radio_Selection(options) { var choice = ""; for (var index = 0; index <= options.length; index++) if (options[index].checked == true) choice = options[index].value; return choice; } Now here's a sample form: Code: <form name="form1"> <input type="radio" name="food" value="Banana">Banana <input type="radio" name="food" value="Mango">Mango <input type="radio" name="food" value="Orange">Orange <input type="radio" name="food" value="Oatmeal">Oatmeal <input type="button" name="blah" value="Get Selection" onclick="Get_Radio_Selection(document.form1.food);"> </form> My question is, when i run this function and pass it in the group of radio buttons by means of the onclick event handler, firefox 3.6.22 reports in the error console on line 22 that "options[index] is undefined". It seems that if i use the variable "index" more than one time it reports this error but if I take out the assignment to variable "choice" that it works just fine. I rewrote the function using a separate variable and this time it works perfectly: Code: function Get_Radio_Selection(options) { var choice = ""; var index; for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) { if (options[i].checked == true) { index = i; choice = options[index].value; } } return choice; } Notice the indexing variables in the "if" statement and the assignment to "choice" are different. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this happens? Thanks. Hi, I am using a script called osDate and I am trying to modify the sign up form to suit my setup. So far I have the below, but I would like to check a set ofradio buttons, but not sure, how to add it into the current code. var alphanumeric_chars = "0123456789.+-_#,/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ()_"; var alphanum_chars = "0123456789_ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; var text_chars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz /'"; var full_chars = "0123456789.+-_#,/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz() _$+=;:?'"; <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function validateme(form) { var tos_ok = form.accept_tos.checked; ErrorCount=0; ErrorMsg = new Array(); /* log details */ CheckFieldString("noblank",form.username,"Please enter the username."); CheckFieldString("alphanum",form.username,"Only letters, numbers and underscores '_' are allowed in the username."); CheckFieldString("noblank",form.email,"Email must be specified."); CheckFieldString("email",form.email,"Email address is not valid."); CheckFieldString("noblank",form.firstname,"First Name must be specified."); CheckFieldString("text",form.firstname,"Only letters are allowed in First Name."); CheckFieldString("noblank",form.lastname,"Last Name must be specified."); CheckFieldString("text",form.lastname,"Only letters are allowed in Last Name."); CheckFieldString("noblank",form.address1,"Last Name must be specified."); CheckFieldString("full",form.address1,"Only letters, numbers and underscores '_' are allowed in the password."); CheckFieldString("full",form.address2,"Only letters, numbers and underscores '_' are allowed in the password."); CheckFieldString("noblank",form.city,"Last Name must be specified."); CheckFieldString("text",form.city,"Only letters are allowed in Last Name."); if(form.username.value.length >= 5 && form.username.value.length <= 20){ if ( !isNaN(form.username.value.charAt(0)) ){ ErrorCount++; ErrorMsg[ErrorCount] = "Username must start with a letter." ; } }else{ ErrorCount++; ErrorMsg[ErrorCount] = "Number of characters in username should be between the specified range." ; } if (tos_ok != true) { ErrorCount++; ErrorMsg[ErrorCount]="Please read and accept the Terms of Service before registering"; } /* concat all error messages into one string */ result=""; if( ErrorCount > 0) { result = "---- Following errors occured -----"+ String.fromCharCode(13)+ String.fromCharCode(10); for( c in ErrorMsg) result += ErrorMsg[c]+ String.fromCharCode(13)+ String.fromCharCode(10)+ String.fromCharCode(10); alert(result); return false; } return true; } /* ]]> */ </script> Hi hope someone here can help me with a problem i'm stuck on. Basically I have 3 radio buttons and one of them has to be selected otherwise display a error message but I cant figure it out. Here is my failed attempt: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function validateForm() { var x=document.forms["form1"]["name"].value; var y=document.form1.difficulty.value; if (x==null || x=="") { alert("First name must be filled out"); return false; } if (y==false) { alert(y); return false; } } </script> </head> <body> <div id="horizon"> <div id="content"> <img src="images/logo.jpg" width="649" height="410"></div> <div id="content2"><form name ="form1" method ="post" action ="game.php" onSubmit="return validateForm()" > Name: <input type ='text' name='name' /> <br /> <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='difficulty' value= '1' />Easy <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='difficulty' value= '2' />Medium <Input type = 'Radio' Name ='difficulty' value= '3' />Hard <br /><Input type = "Submit" Name = "Submit" VALUE = "Submit"> </form></div></div> </body> </html> Thanks in advance i'm running a validation script to check if my radio buttons are selected, but i can't seem to get it to read the value of the field. heres my form Code: <form name="cases" action="cases_process.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(this)"> <input name="uscan" id="uscan" value="n" checked="checked" type="hidden" /> <input type="radio" name="uscan" id="uscan" value="us" class="radial" tabindex="1" /><label>United States</label> <input type="radio" name="uscan" id="uscan" value="canada" class="radial" tabindex="2" style="margin-left:30px;" /><label>Canada</label> <input type="radio" name="uscan" id="uscan" value="other" class="radial" tabindex="3" style="margin-left:30px;" /><label>Other</label> <div style="float:left;margin:-23px 0 0 370px;" id="cancelcon_uscan"></div> </div> <table class="category"> <tr><td><label>Case Name:</label></td><td><input type="text" name="casename" id="casename" class="field" tabindex="6" /></td> <td><div id="cancelcon_casename"></div></td></tr> </table> </form> i have a hidden checked field with a value of n, so there is a value of "n" for "uscan" if no radio is selected. i then run this code on submit: Code: function validate(form) { var uscan = form.uscan.value; var casename = form.casename.value; var reWhiteSpace = new RegExp(/^\s+$/); if(uscan == "n") { modinputbad('uscan'); var a = "1"; }else { modinputgood('uscan'); var a = "0"; } if(casename == "" || reWhiteSpace.test(casename) == true) { modinputbad('casename'); var b = "1"; }else { modinputgood('casename'); var b = "0"; } function modinputbad(id) { $(id).style.border = '1px solid #b63939'; $(id).style.background = '#ffdfdf'; $('cancelcon_'+id).innerHTML = '<img style="float:left;" src="static/images/cancel_16.png"/>'; } function modinputgood(id) { $(id).style.border = '1px solid #D9D9D9'; $(id).style.background = '#F2F4F3'; $('cancelcon_'+id).innerHTML = ''; } var added = a+b+c+d+e+f; var dowork = added.indexOf('1'); if(dowork == '-1')return true; else return false; } everything works up until the if(uscan == "n") so idk why it cant find what the value of the field is, because ive tested it and it seems to know even know what the value is. anything im doing wrong? 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. Hi, i'm new here and I need help. I need a script that can alert in 2 ways for multiple radio button groups of "yes" and "no." I got the first question to alert the way I need (with alert #1 for yes and alert#2 for no.) However, starting from the 2nd question it alerts #1 for both yes and no. This is the script I'm working with: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function valbutton(form) { myOption = -1; for (i=form.buttonset1.length-1; i > 0; i--) { if (form.buttonset1[i].checked) { myOption = i; i = -1; } } if (myOption == -1) { alert("Please select Yes or No"); return false; } if (myOption == 1) { alert("Yes, it works!"); return false; } if (myOption == 2) { alert("No, it won't work."); return false; } } </script> The following are the 1st two sets of radio buttons: Code: <form name="myform" action="formstest.html"> <tr> <td> <input type="reset" value="Click to Reset"> <br><input type="radio" name="buttonset1" value="1" rel="none" id="r1" /><label for="r1">Click to Start Over</label><br /></td> </tr> <tr><td class="question">Question #1</td> <td><input type="radio" name="buttonset1" value="2" rel="flat" id="r2" /> <label for="r2">Yes</label><br /> <input type="radio" name="buttonset1" value="3" rel="none" id="r3" /> <label for="r3">No</label><br /> </td> </tr> <tr rel="flat"> <td class="question"><label for="flat"><span class="accessibility">If metal:</span>Question #2</label></td> <td><input type="radio" name="buttonset2" value="4" rel="uneven" id="r4" /> <label for="r4">Yes</label><br /> <input type="radio" name="buttonset2" value="5" rel="none" id="r5" /> <label for="r5">No</label><br /> </td> </tr> Is it possible to switch out the alerts for yes and no for next 4 questions? And finally, the following is the lengthy, thorough version of my question if it clarifies what I'm trying to do. I would really appreciate someone to point me the right direction. I've tried all kinds of variation to the script and I just can't seem to make it work. Thanks in advance! (Lengthy Version) I also need questions to appear (or not show) below as select radio buttons are clicked. I have 6 groups of yes and no radio buttons. I would like the first two groups to have "alert 1" when yes is clicked (and "alert 2" for no.) I would like the rest to show "alert 2" when yes is clicked (and "alert 1" for no.) (I also have all the questions hidden below question 1. Each subsequent questions appear upon clicking yes for questions 1&2, and no for the rest. I would like to keep this intact - I put that js code I downloaded at the end of this post.) Here's what I have so far... I got most of it working except after the first question, "alert 1" appears for all the clicks submitted. I've been at it for a few weeks and I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance!

What my script does is if you do not select a radio button and you hit submit an error will pop up saying please select game1. this is taken from the name of the radio button.. How can i make it so it prints out the VALUES of the 2 radio buttons. end result should print please select Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals rather than please select game1. Code: function isChecked(radgrp) { var i = radgrp.length; do if (radgrp[--i].checked) return true; while (i); return false; } function validateTest(els) { var focus_me = null, msg = ""; if (!isChecked(els.game1)) { msg += " Game #1\n"; focus_me = focus_me || els.game1[0]; } if (!isChecked(els.game2)) { msg += " Game #2\n"; focus_me = focus_me || els.game2[0]; } if (!isChecked(els.game16)) { msg += " Game #16\n"; focus_me = focus_me || els.game16[0]; } if (msg != "") { var prefix = "\n WARNING: The following Games(s) were not selected:\n\n"; var suffix = "\nClick OK to submit your picks anyway.\n\n"; var suffix = suffix + "\n Click CANCEL to correct your picks." var ask = confirm(prefix + msg + suffix); if (ask) { if (focus_me) focus_me.focus(); return true; } else{ return false; } } } Here is the radio button. If you dont select the radio button i want the javascript validation pop but to say "please select Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals rather than game1 like it does now.

I am using ASP validators and I have a contact form. I want to be able to have a phone and email radio button group. The email textbox also has a RegularExpressionValidator If the phone item is selected then I want the validation to be enabled on the phone text box making it mandatory while the email text box isn't, and if they choose the email as the contact it will be reversed. I want to be able to do this without having to do a postback. I already have the logic on the code behind and the enquiry object. also I am fairly new to javascript so I have been using mostly jQuery as easier to implement here is the html code that i have PHP Code: <td valign="middle" valign="middle"> <input type="radio" name="gender" id="genderM" value="Male" /> Male <input type="radio" name="gender" id="genderFM" value="Female" /> 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 So, I have this calculator function I made to do some simple math and output the solution in a field on a form. I had it working great until I introduced a radio button. There are no errors and the total is still outputted but the number is off and if I change the radio to the other option it doesn't change the total. Here is my code, I am sure I am doing something wrong, just can't figure it out. Thanks to all in advance! Code: function calculateBudget() { var i; var list = 0; var listcost = document.getElementsByName('form[listcost]'); var totalBudget = document.getElementById('TotalBudget').value; var postage = document.getElementById('Postage').value; var printing = document.getElementById('Printing').value; var uses = document.getElementById('Uses').value; var totalRecords = document.getElementById('TotalRecords'); for (var i = 0; i < listcost.length; i++) { if (listcost[i].checked) { if (listcost[i] == "Single") { list = 0.10; } else { list = 0.13; } } } totalBudget = parseFloat(totalBudget); list = parseFloat(list); postage = parseFloat(postage); printing = parseFloat(printing); uses = parseFloat(uses); var result1 = postage + printing; var result2 = result1 * uses + list; var result3 = list / result2; var result4 = totalBudget * result3; totalRecords.value = 0; totalRecords.value = parseInt(totalRecords.value); totalRecords.value = Math.round(parseInt(totalRecords.value) + result4 / list) * 1/1; } Please help, my validation is not working: I added this to my HEAD Code: <script> function validate(){ var temp if (document.form.name.value=="") { alert("Please select a customer.") return false } return true } </script> then here is my form: Code: <form action="send-massemail-script.php" method="post" name="form" onsubmit="return validate()"> <fieldset> <!-- Set class to "column-left" or "column-right" on fieldsets to divide the form into columns --> <p> <label>Customer Name</label> <select name="name" id="name"> <option value="Please select name">Please select name</option> <?php while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result3)) { echo '<option value="'.$row1['id'].'">'.$row1['customer_name'].'</option>'; } ?> </select> </p> <p> <label>Email Title</label> <input class="text-input small-input" type="text" id="small-input" name="EmailTitle" /> </p> <p> <label>Email Body</label> <textarea rows="15" cols="79" name="EmailBody" id="textarea" class="text-input textarea wysiwyg" style="width: 930px; height: 247px;"></textarea> </p> <p> <input class="button" type="submit" value="Send Email" /> </p> </fieldset> <div class="clear"></div><!-- End .clear --> </form> I have a simple form here with a function to validate it, but I have no idea where I'm going wrong. I'm very familiar with ActionScript and C++, so I get the coding aspect of it, but one thing I'm not familiar with is how exactly JavaScript and HTML communicate. The problem is that this form always submits, even if my function returns false...but I can't even see if it returns false anyway, because alert() doesn't seem to be working either. Here's what I have for my HTML: Code: <form name="myForm" onSubmit="return checkForm();" action="processForm.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="25" name="firstName" value="*First Name" /> <br /> <input type="text" size="25" name="lastName" value="Last Name" /> <br /> <input type="text" size="25" name="phoneNumber" value="Phone" /> <br /> <input type="text" size="25" name="emailAddress" value="*Email" /> <br /> <textarea rows="6" cols="20">Message</textarea> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> And here's the JavaScript function: Code: function checkForm(){ with(firstName){ if(value==NULL || value=="" || value==defaultValue){ return false;} } with(emailAddress){ if(value==NULL || value=="" || value==defaultValue){ return false;} } return true; } What bugs me is even when I try to check my work by using alert statements to see what parts of the code are being executed, they never seem to come up. So it's kind of left me doing lots of guessing and trying a million things. Even if that last line in the JS function is "return false," the form still submits anyway. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this up? Hi all, I have created a contact form using php and have added some javascipt code to validate the fields, problem is the validation isnt working. Can anyone give me a little advice on how i can get this working? Page is located he http://www.brownscountryhouse.co.uk/testing/test.php The javascript used is: Code: <script language="javaScript"> function ValidateForm(){ var numeID=document.form1.nume var surnameID=document.form1.surname var emailID=document.form1.email if ((numeID.value==null)||(numeID.value=="")){ alert("Please enter your name") numeID.focus() return false } if ((surnameID.value==null)||(surnameID.value=="")){ alert("Please enter your surname") surnameID.focus() return false } if ((emailID.value==null)||(emailID.value=="")){ alert("Please enter your email address") emailID.focus() return false } if (echeck(emailID.value)==false){ emailID.value="" emailID.focus() return false } return true } function echeck2(str) { alert("Invalid E-mail Address") return false } function echeck(str) { var at="@" var dot="." var lat=str.indexOf(at) var lstr=str.length var ldot=str.indexOf(dot) if (str.indexOf(at)==-1){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.indexOf(at)==-1 || str.indexOf(at)==0 || str.indexOf(at)==lstr){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.indexOf(dot)==-1 || str.indexOf(dot)==0 || str.indexOf(dot)==lstr){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.indexOf(at,(lat+1))!=-1){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.substring(lat-1,lat)==dot || str.substring(lat+1,lat+2)==dot){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.indexOf(dot,(lat+2))==-1){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } if (str.indexOf(" ")!=-1){ alert("Invalid Email Address") return false } return true } </script> Thanks in advance for looking! Kyle Hi all, ive been staring at this code for over an hour now and i cant see what is wrong with it. any chance of a wee look over for me ? Thank you Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Comment Form</TITLE> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <SCRIPT language=javascript> function Validate() { var Message = "" Message = Message + Checkname() if (Message == ""){ return true } else { alert(Message) return false } } function CheckName() { var UserName = document.form.name.value if (UserName == "") { Message = "Something's wrong with your forename" + "\n" } else { Message = "" } return Message } </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <FORM name=form onsubmit="return Validate()" action="sent.htm" method=post encType=text/plain> <TABLE BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=0> <TBODY> <TD> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5> <TR> <TD><font size="2" face="Verdana"><b>Forename:</b></TD> <TD><INPUT NAME=name size=25></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD></TD> <TD align=right> <INPUT TYPE=reset VALUE="Reset" name=submit2> <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit" NAME=Submit> </TD> </TR> </TBODY> </TABLE> </TABLE> </FORM> </BODY> </HTML> It does not work in ie7! Here is my code and my link... I have been trying to fix for 2 hours now! Please help. I tried using jquery 1.6.1, 1.5.2, min.validation, regular validation, i changed the buttons to input type="submit" and did everything else I could find but nothing works. When you click submit, it does not validate. It goes straight to my thank you page and I get a blank form in return. I do not know much jquery, just enough to know what I copy and paste and make some minimal changes. Thanks! http://www.denver-website-designer.com/quote.html <script type="text/javascript"> $().ready(function() { var erroralert = $("#quoteForm").bind("invalid-form.validate", function() { $("#erroralert"); }); }); $.metadata.setType("attr", "validate"); $.validator.addMethod("ninja", function(value) { return value == "ninja"; }, 'Can a robot spell "ninja"'); $().ready(function() { $("#quoteForm").validate({ errorContainer: $("#erroralert"), rules: { fullname: { required:true, minlength:2, }, email: { required:true, email:true, }, phone: { required:true, minlength:10, maxlength:15, }, pages: { required:true, minlength:1, maxlength:10, number:true }, whyrate: { required:true, minlength:10, }, ninja: "ninja", }, messages: { email: "Please enter a valid email address", pages: "Numeric values only", } }); }); </script> |
