JavaScript - Date Validation Issues
HI All,
i have a form with 5 date fields, and i need to validate these fields against each other and prevent two date fields from future dates. I have used EPOCH calendar control on my page and set all date fields as read only. The calendar function is called on page load event. I have written a function to compare my dates (comparedates()) and called this function into another function (validateform(this)) which is triggered when the form is submitted. The validateform function first checks for null values and then calls comparedates function. When i test the form, the validate form works well and the form won't submit if there are any missing details, however when it executes the comparedates() function, this is what happens: in FireFox: alerts are popping up, but the page is submitted anyway in IE8 : alerts do not pop up and the page is submitted in both browsers i don't see any javascript error. here is the code i'm using in the page, apart from validateform and compare dates, i have a function to check email and another function to disable/enable text field upon a specific selection from a drop down. These two functions work perfectly, i just included them in the code just to see if it is at all affecting my comparedate() function. please let me know if you would like to also see EPOCH calendar code. Thank you for your help Maryam Code: function getToday() { var date = new Date(); var mm = zeroPadValue(date.getMonth() + 1); var dd = zeroPadValue(date.getDate()); var yyyy = date.getFullYear(); var result = yyyy + "-" + mm + "-" + dd; return result; } function zeroPadValue(value) { if (value < 10) { value = "0" + value; } return value; } function validateForm(form) { var sysDate = new getToday(); var obj=document.createform.nationality; for(var i=0; i < form.elements.length; i++){ if(form.elements[i].value.length == 0 && form.elements[i].name != "submit" && form.elements[i].name !="qualification" && form.elements[i].name !="gender" && form.elements[i].name !="marital" && form.elements[i].name !="cbirth" && form.elements[i].name !="citybirth" && form.elements[i].name !="email" && form.elements[i].name !="pspace" && form.elements[i].name !="paidby" && form.elements[i].name !="visano" && form.elements[i].name !="difcsponsored" && form.elements[i].name !="vissuedate" && form.elements[i].name !="vexpirydate" && form.elements[i].name !="compreg"){ alert('No value entered in '+form.elements[i].title+'.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } } comparedates(); return true; } function comparedates() { var form = document.forms[0]; var curr = new Date(getToday()); var getdob = new Date(document.createform.dob.value); var getpi = new Date(document.createform.pissue.value); var getpe = new Date(document.createform.pexpiry.value); for(var i=0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { if(form.elements[i].name =="dob") { if(getdob > curr) { alert(form.elements[i].title + ' cannot be greater than today\'\s date.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } } if(form.elements[i].name=="pissue") { if(getpi > curr ) { alert(form.elements[i].title+' cannot be greater than today\'\s date.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } if(getpi < getdob) { alert(form.elements[i].title+' cannot be smaller than ' + document.createform.dob.title + '.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } } if(form.elements[i].name=="pexpiry"){ if(getpe < getpi) { alert(form.elements[i].title+' cannot be smaller than ' + document.createform.pissue.title +'.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } if( getpe < getdob) { alert(form.elements[i].title+' cannot be smaller than '+ document.createform.dob.title+'.'); form.elements[i].focus(); return false; } } } } function disableFields(obj){ if(obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="BH" || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="KW" || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="OM" || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="QA" || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="SA" || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].value=="AE"){ // alert('true'); document.createform.visano.disabled=true; document.createform.difcsponsored.disabled=true; document.createform.vissuedate.disabled=true; document.createform.vexpirydate.disabled=true; } else { document.createform.visano.disabled=false; document.createform.difcsponsored.disabled=false; document.createform.vissuedate.disabled=false; document.createform.vexpirydate.disabled=false; } } function validateEmail(myemail){ var AtPos = myemail.value.indexOf("@"); var StopPos = myemail.value.lastIndexOf("."); var Message = ""; //var getemail = document.getElementById("txtemail"); if (myemail.value.length !=0){ if (AtPos == -1 || StopPos == -1 || StopPos < AtPos || StopPos - AtPos == 1) { Message = "Not a valid email address"; alert (Message); //myemail.focus(); setTimeout('document.getElementById(\'email\').focus();document.getElementById(\'email\').select();',0); //return false; } else { return true; } } } function callall(){ getCal(); // comparedates(); } Similar TutorialsHello guys, I am trying to create a basic unobtrusive form validation function but I am having some issues/questions. Basically I am checking if any of the form fields have <= 3 characters, and if they do so, then I make those fields' backgrounds and borders red. Also in the empty <span> tags I insert an error message. My issues/questions a #1: So when I say if (fieldVals[i]<=3) this means that the errors should appear if the values are 1,2 or 3 characters long, right? It does not do that though, when I insert one character in any of the form fields the errors go away, but they should not, right? #2: How do I cancel the form from submitting if errors are visible and vice versa? When I use the return false when errors are visible, the code does not even run. What is going on? return true does the same. #3: When I use a submit button(type="submit") instead of just a button(type="button"), the code does not run? What am I doing wrong? NOTE: I am not trying to use this on a website, I am just trying to learn how to use unobtrusive javascript. That's why I am only checking for empty fields. If I learn how to do this first, later I will try to add email check, date check etc. (sorry for the long message) Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

It seems like this may be my new home away from home. Now, I'm a beginner with JavaScript and I'm working on a forum validation but I have a few questions. First off, here's the code I'm working on: Essentially the code below checks every field with the class "req" for input, and it also validates the email address but I'm not sure how exactly.. Could someone explain the condition for the if statement? I am really lost, especially with the random "+2's" and "x.length". What is x? it was never defined? and what is with the +2's? what are they adding onto? Thanks. Here's the code too: Code: function alertme(){ for(var i = 1;i < myform.elements.length;i++){ if(myform.elements[i].className == "req" && myform.elements[1].value.length == 0) { alert("Please fill in all required fields"); return false; } } var email = document.getElementById('email').value; var atpos = email.indexOf('@'); var dotpos = email.lastIndexOf('.'); if (atpos < 1 || dotpos < atpos+2 || dotpos+2 >= x.length){ alert("Not a valid email") false; } } Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot guys. HI Guys, Could someone help me out; i am checking if return_date is greater than the departure_date. Somehow the date is checking on mm/dd/yyyy format while my form is capturing date on dd/mm/yyyy format. Can someone point out where i can actually change this format. I would like to stick to dd/mm/yyyy format. Here is my code:- <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function doDateCheck() { var depart=new Date(document.getElementById('DPC_date1').value); var return=new Date(document.getElementById('DPC_date2').value); if(eval(return.getTime() )<eval(depart.getTime())) { alert("Return date must be greater then departure date."); return false; } return true; } </script> hi there all, i am working on an application built using JSP, and many screens in the application have date fields that use a calendar.js file to show and pick the date. the requirement is to set a validation where the user cannot enter a date bigger than the current date, fair enough, but my problem is that i am a newb and this whole application is built by ppl that don't work for my company no more so im stuck with it, below is the calendar.js file maybe u guys could help me on where should i put the validation. thanks in advance Code: var weekend = [4,5]; var weekendColor = "#EAF4D6"; var fontface = "Verdana"; var fontsize = 1; var TYPE = 1; // 1 for arabic and 2 for hirji var gNow = new Date(); var ggWinCal; isNav = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) ? true : false; isIE = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) ? true : false; Calendar.Months = ["�����", "������", "����", "�����", "����", "�����", "�����", "�����", "������", "�������", "�����", "������"]; // Non-Leap year Month days..

Hi, Got input boxes for begin and end dates - using JQuery for date picker calendar for each. Need to validate 2 things - 1 is that end date is => than begin date, 2 is that user enters date into begin date rather than just numbers. I got date picker JQuery from another office where I work and can not change their parameters or code. So my input boxes allow for date picker selection or manual data entry. The end date input box can be empty if user only inputting one day for begin date and not a range. Also have 3 more begin/end date input box sets which are not visible until user clicks "Add Row" button - one click, one set added. Want to insure if user added row and input date then removed row (clicked "Remove Row" button) that the data entered is removed and not inserted into database. Add & remove rows: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var showing = 0; function showAnother() { if ( showing <= 3 ) { ++showing; document.getElementById("row"+showing).style.display =""; } if ( showing == 3) { alert("Maximum number of rows allowed."); } } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function removeRow() { if ( showing >= 0 ) { document.getElementById("row"+showing).style.display ="none"; showing--; } if ( showing == 0 ) { return true; } } </script> Begin & end date input boxes: Code: <td><input style="width: 70px" type="text" id="startdate1" name="startdate1" /></td> <td><input name="stopdate1" style="width: 70px" type="text" id="stopdate1"/></td> Other 3 begin & end date input boxes same with names increased by one digit - startdate2/stopdate2, and so on to 4. Thanks, John Hello, Im still new to JS/Ajax/PHP and Im creating a filter(html checkbox form) that will call a single query that will filter unwanted items.. This query contains a INNER JOIN, AND and ON conditions. I have also created a simple javascript loop to scan the form for checked values.. but im having trouble connecting the dots.. Im not certain how to make each checked value trigger individual parts of the query.. Heres what I have: Loop: Code: function sendInfo(form) { var filterList = ""; for( var i =0; i < form.elements.length; i++ ) { if( form.elements[i].type = 'checkbox' ) { if( form.elements[i].checked == true ) { filterList += form.elements[i].value + ','; } } } alert("The filter list is " + filterList); } HTML FORM: Code: <form name="filterForm" id="filterForm"> <input type="checkbox" name="red" value="red" id="red"> RED <input type="checkbox" name="blue" value="blue" id="blue"> BLUE <input type="checkbox" name="green" value="green" id="green"> GREEN <input type="submit" name="submit" value="click" onClick="sendInfo(document.filterForm)"> </form> PHP/Mysql QUERYused to filter results) Code: $submitFilter= isset($_POST['submit']); if($submitFilter) { //checks for submitted form //connect to database //select database $filterQuery= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_1 INNER JOIN table_2 ON table_1.color_Id=table_2.color_Id WHERE table_2.color_Category <> 'red' AND table_2.color_Type <> 'red' AND table_2.color_Category <> 'blue' AND table_2.color_Type <> 'blue' AND table_2.color_Category <> 'green' AND table_2.color_Type <> 'green' As you can see I have joined two tables and want to exclude any from table_1 where the color is red.. how can I request this action from the loop once a check box has been checked??? like I said im new so if this looks wrong/confusing feel free to be brutal !! I have searched the forums and Iv been close to finding an example/post but nothing solid.. I think I mayb using the wrong terminology/descriptions in my searches to find the correct results bcuz I feel like im circling the block to no end.. PLEASE HELP or POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!!!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE! Hi guys, Great site by the way =). Basically if you view http://debtclock.co.uk/contact and click the form submit before inputting any details in the boxes you will see that the boxes highlight red to indicate there are some fields missing. Everything works fine, but if you view it on I.E 8 you can see that the red fill doesnt appear, only the text above it saying there are errors. Anyway I hope someone can get back to me with an idea, I am sat here in the office pulling my hair out not having an idea what it could be ><><>< Hi, Using this script Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function compareDate() { var start = document.beginDate.startdate.value; var end = document.termDate.enddate.value; var stDate = new Date(start); var enDate = new Date(end); var compDate = enDate - stDate; if(compDate >= 0) return true; else { alert("Please correct-end date is before begin date."); return false; } } </script> Have two input boxes for Start Date and End Date. Both boxes have JQuery linked code for datepicker calendar. Want to ensure that end date is >= to start date. Want dates validated on losing focus from end date input (text) box - like this - I guess. Code: <input style="width: 70px" type="text" id="enddate" onblur="function compareDate();" /> The reason I am here is that, of course, what I have is not working. Appreciate your help. Thanks - John Maybe somone can help me out he I am trying to validate two dates, to make sure one comes before another. This is the code I have: Code: function validate_time(fielda, fieldb) { if (fielda < fieldb ) { ErrFields.push("The start date must be before the end date"); return false; } else { return true; } } and it is called using: Code: validate_time(startdate, enddate); This code dosen't work at all, so I guess I am way off. If anyone knows what may be the problem or any suggestions I would apprecate it. Thanks. Hi all , first let me just say I know incredibly little about JavaScript at all , I'm currently studying PHP however as part of a course and do occasionally use JavaScript here and there My problem is on a register page for example i have a JavaScript Date picker so users can select their D.O.B without me having to worry about if the date is valid ...etc through PHP checking. PHP Code: <tr> <th>Date of Birth :</th> <td input name="dob" id="dob"><?php $thisyear= getdate(); $myCalendar = new tc_calendar("date5", true, false); $myCalendar->setIcon("./images/iconCalendar.gif"); $myCalendar->setDate($thisyear['year'],$thisyear['month'],$thisyear['day']); $myCalendar->setPath("./"); $myCalendar->setYearInterval(1910, ($thisyear['year'])); $myCalendar->dateAllow('1910-05-13', ($thisyear['year']-18) ); $myCalendar->setDateFormat('j F Y'); //$myCalendar->setHeight(350); //$myCalendar->autoSubmit(true, "form1"); $myCalendar->writeScript(); ?></td> </tr> Now in the <head> tag of my page i do i my JavaScript validation , and was wondering what would i have to do for this to work Thus far i've tried .checked/.selected basically anything i can think of but since its not my forte there isn't a lot for me to think of PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(form) { if(!document.form1.agree.checked) { alert("Please check the terms and conditions"); return false; } if(!document.form1.dob.checked) { alert("Please select a date of birth"); return false; } return true; } </script> </script> Now i was wondering is there anyway to check if a valid date was selected ?? if you can offer any help it'd be much appreciated. Hello, i have a question about date validation. I'm new to javascript and am still learning. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem i am facing. I want my code to be able to validate the date in different formats other then 01/25/2007. I would like the code to be able to validate 1-25-07, 1-25-2007, or 01/25/2007. Here is the code i have thus far which works with the 01/25/2007 format. Any ideas on how i could make this code work to validate the other formats?

For example, if somebody only enters in their e-mail address the form would validate correctly and send the validation information to a conformation page. Or, the other s scenario would be they entered their mailing address information but left the e-mail field blank, the form would validate and confirm the form information on a conformation page. Or the last scenario would be that all fields were filled out, which then wouldn't be an issue(my form does this now). What I have done was made a custom function, which is in the code above on line, 39 and then have it called on an onsubmit button but that wasn't working. Code he Code: function formChoice(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.fname, elem.lname, elem.address, elem.city, elem.state, elem.zcode == 0 || elem.email == 0){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return flase; } } The other thing I tried to do was making the if on line 25 an else if else and or just an else. I understand with an else if the condition are not met than the if statement moves on to the else and if that isn't met then both statements are false and the form will not submit, but both else if else, and else doesn't work at line 25. I tried moving the line 25 e-mail line down past the brackets and that didn't work. I have read many books and have visited many sites to try on my own to learn how to do this, and I think I am not understanding some basic concepts, and I would be tickled if somebody could look at my code and look at my problem and see what knowledge I am missing and how to fix my problem. Thanks. I'm a fairly new ColdFusion developer and a true Javascript newbie, so gentleness please! I have a CF application that accepts two dates. The first date - Out Date - is required. The second date - Return Date - is optional, but if populated, must be equal to or greater than the Out Date. Here's the screen & code: <script type="text/javascript"> function compareDate() { if(document.editleave.temp_ret_date.value != "01/01/0001") if(document.editleave.temp_ret_date.value < document.editleave.temp_out_date.value) alert("Scheduled Through Date cannot be earlier than the Scheduled Out Date!"); setFormFocus(document.editleave.temp_ret_date); } </script> <cfinput type="datefield" name="temp_out_date" id="temp_out_date" value="#DateFormat(Now(), 'mm/dd/yyyy')#" validate="date" ValidateAt="onBlur,onSubmit" message="Please enter a valid date in MM/DD/CCYY format." size="6" maxlength="10"> <cfinput type="datefield" name="temp_ret_date" id="temp_ret_date" value="01/01/0001" ValidateAt="onBlur,onSubmit" message="Please enter a valid date in MM/DD/CCYY format." onBlur="compareDate();" size="6" maxlength="10"> Everything works fine....EXCEPT...if the Return Date is invalid, I cannot click on the calendar box to select a date (or open another browser session). Basically, IE is locked up until the user manually types in a valid date. This ain't good. I want to be able to trap the error, just like I have, but I still want the calendar selection box to be usable. Is it possible to "reset" the error condition after the intial warning to only trigger on the onSubmit parameter? Hello, I am arranging a validation form checking a start date (DepartureDate) against today's date to verify that it must be later than today's date, I am a newbie on javascript and I have tried various ways, unfortunately I have hit the wall and I need help. [CODE] <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" SCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> function checkForm() { DepartureDate= /^(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])[\/](0[1-9]|1[012])[\/](20)\d\d$/ //check if DepartueDate is valid entry var depdate=myform.DepartureDate.value; // get date from keyed text box var prsDepdate= Date.parse(depdate); // convert to date parse var currentDate = new Date();// today's date var now=Date.parse(currentDate);//parsed todays date if (!DepartureDate.test(depdate)) { alert("Departure Date must be entered in numbers in the following format dd/mm/yyyy with the first two year digits being 20yy"); return false; } //validation if departure Date is entered correctly if (prsDepdate<=currentDate) { alert("Departure Date must be later than Today's date!")//comparison if Departure Date is less than today return false; } } </SCRIPT> [CODE] Thanks a lot Hello all, I have a multistep jquery form that validates user input and then should send me an email. 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(); $('#fourth_step').slideDown(); if(error <= 0) { return true } else{ return false } }); }); Hey all. I have a simple validation I need to do. I need to just make sure that a Checkbox is checked, and that a Text field has content. Sounds simple but I cannot find any thing that has a check and a text field. Here what I have. Can I modify this script to do this? A Checkbox MUST be checked and Text field MUST be filled out. This currently does the text field fine, but no Checkbox obviously. How can I add a checkbox validation to this? Thats it. Any help is appreciated. Code: <script type="text/javascript"> var textFields = ["digsig"]; function validateForm( ) { var oops = ""; // must initialize this! var form = document.sig; for ( var t = 0; t < textFields.length; ++t ) { var field = form[textFields[t]]; var value = field.value.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,""); // trim the input if ( value.length < 1 ) { oops += "You MUST enter your Digital Signature"; } } if ( oops != "" ) { alert("ERROR:" + oops); return false; } } } </script> Not sure if this is possible in javascript: I'm looking for two different dates (bill date and due date) on an invoice that are captured by OCR. If one of them exists, but the other does not, I want the empty field to be 14 days before (or after) the other. For example: if the bill date is 7/27/2010 and the due date was not captured, I want to set the due date as 8/10/2010 (14 days after the bill date). If the due date was captured as 8/10/2010, but the due date is blank, I want to assign the bill date as 7/27/2010 (14 days before the due date). if both dates have values, do nothing. Thanks. I have a drop down menu where people can select a month, day and year. Based on their selection, I want to show them an image. If their selection is >= July 26, 2010 but <= July 25, 2011, show the red image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2011 but <= July 25, 2012, show the white image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2012 but <= July 25, 2013, show the blue image; If their selection is >= July 26, 2013 but <= July 25, 2014, show the yellow image; I don't know how to compare a selected date to a range of dates like this. |
