JavaScript - Javascript Validation Error

I'm facing a validation error, whenever I leave any of the fields blank, it gives me a warning and then it redirects me to (index.php?option=com_ccnewsletter&view=ccnewsletter)

What I wanna know is how can I freeze the page until all fields are filled?

This is the javascript code:
Code:

	<script type="text/javascript">
	function formsubmit(task)
	{
		var form = document.subscribeFormModule;
		if(task == "addSubscriber")
		{
			if(form.name.value== "")
			{
				alert('<?php echo $parameters['namewarning']; ?>');
			}
			else if(form.email.value == "")
			{
				alert('<?php echo $parameters['emailwarning']; ?>');
			}
			else if(( form.email.value.search("@") == -1) || ( form.email.value.search("[.*]" ) == -1 ))
			{
				alert('<?php echo $parameters['emailwarning']; ?>');
			}

			<?php if($parameters['showterm'])
			{
			?>
			else if(form.terms_condition_ch.checked == false)
			{
				alert ('<?php echo $parameters['terms_cond_warn']; ?>');

			}
			<?php
			}
			?>

			else
			{
				form.task.value = "addSubscriber";
				form.submit();
			}
		}
		else if(task == "removeSubscriberByEmail")
		{
			if(form.email.value == "")
			{
				alert('<?php echo $parameters['emailwarning']; ?>');
			}
			else if(( form.email.value.search("@") == -1) || ( form.email.value.search("[.*]" ) == -1 ))
			{
				alert('<?php echo $parameters['emailwarning']; ?>');
			}
			else
			{
				form.task.value = "removeSubscriberByEmail";
				form.submit();
			}
		}
	}
	</script>

And this is the form's code:
Code:

<div class="mainnewsletter">
		<p><?php echo $parameters['introduction'] ?></p>
        <div class="module" style="padding-top: 0px;">
		<div class="normalsublayout">

			</div>
			</div>

			</p>
			<?php if($parameters['showterm'])

You may not beable to help but I could not find any where else..

I am getting this error when i submit my form without the email address..

Attribute validation error for tag CFMAIL.
The value of the attribute FROM is invalid. The length of the string, 0 character(s), must be greater than or equal to 1 character(s).

The error occurred in \\NAWINFS02\home\users\web\b153\rh.chadwickorchids\name\name.cfm: line 2

1 : <cfmail
2 : from="#form.visitor_email#"
3 : to="orders@chadwickorchids.com;#form.visitor_email#"
4 : subject="Chadwick Orchids Name Your Own Orchid"

How can I have this script go back to the form if it generates a error instead of going to the coldfussion error?

please help

Hi all.

I am using the Inline Form Validation Engine jQuery plugin found here, and though I have posted at their forum as well, am having a heck of a time (not being well versed in js OR Ajax, unfortunately)

All I need to do is edit the code so that when the onSubmit function is processed, it returns only the first error it encounters, rather than keeping and display the array of every error. I have picked through the code several times, and can't seem to find where the array is stored. I thought perhaps I could find a for loop to limit, but am at a complete loss.

Is there anyone out there who can help? I can post the code if needed; I didn't want to post the entire file (since I don't know which snippet is the one I need!)

Thank you in advance!

hello

i have a form which when the user hits "submit," the info in the textboxes is entered to a database.
the only textbox which is not entered to the DB is an "age" textbox, which i need to verify to see if user is 18yrs or older. if user is not 18 years or older, they get an alert telling them they arent 18+. if they are, then the form submits

this is my code so far, and i dont get any alerts when i enter an age younger than 18:

Code:

<head>
<script language="text/javascript">
	 var age;
	 document.getElementById("userage").value = age;

	 if (age >=18)
	 document.location="feedbacksaveanddisplay.php";
	 else {
	 alert('Sorry, we can not let you in!')
	 document.location="content.html";

	 }
	 </script>
</head>





<form method = "post" action = "FeedbackSaveAndDisplay.php">
<input type = "hidden" name = "user" value = "test"/>
<input type = "hidden" name = "pwd" value = "test"/>
<p>Enter your name, feedback, score</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" name = "name" style="width:150px; height:20px;" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Feedback</td>

<td>
<input type = "text" name = "feedback" style="width:150px; height:20px;" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Score</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" name = "score" style="width:150px; height:20px;" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Product</td>
<td>
<input type = "text" name = "product" style="width:150px; height:20px;" />
</td>
</tr>




<tr>
<td>Age</td>

<td>
<input type = "text" name = "age" style="width:150px; height:20px;" />
</td>
</tr>



<tr>
<td colspan = "2">
<input type = "submit"
value = "Submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

any tips/advice on how to fix my code? the problem i think is in the javascript...
will greatly appreciate any help
thanks!!

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.

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)

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. How can I get one message box when the user presses submit indicating all failed validation at one time
2. The expired credit card validation doesnt work
3. Cant seem to find a good "confirm password" script
3. The form does not submit if all the fields are correct.


<script language="javascript">

I have a validation issue. I need the input fields to highlight yellow if no text has been entered and when the form is submitted the error message displays to check the highlighted fields.
I get the input boxes to highlight when there is no text but on submit the form goes to the next page without the error alert message.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi. 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

I have an issue with a form I am creating, I have many check boxs where at least one of the 2 needs to be selected and the final one has to be selected for the submit button to become active

Code:

<form id="form1" action="#" method="post">

One <input type="checkbox" name="value1" onMouseDown='submit_form()'/>
Two<input type="checkbox" name="value2" onMouseDown='submit_form()'/>
//atleast 1 of these 2 has to be selected

Three<input type="checkbox" name="value3" onMouseDown='submit_form()'/>
//this 1 has to be selected

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="submit" disabled="disabled"/>

this is the javascript I have atm to do this

Code:

function submit_form(){
	if (form1.value1.checked == false || form1.value2.checked == false) {
		document.getElementById(submit);
		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!
