JavaScript - Server Side Validation Return A Value
I have a form field that needs to be validated in a hidden Iframe which is driven by Coldfusion. Which is working fine. But the same form field also need do some client side validation as well if Server side (iframe) validation passes.
I thought I could create a javascript function, in it call a server side validate and then client side, but without any success. It does not process in the order as expected. Javascript always go first, then the server side validation. I tried to delay the client side with time delay, then server side did process first, but client function could not recognize the parameter passed. here is the function: Function doValidation(param1,param2,param3,param4) { .... document.iframName.src='serverValidate.cfm?m1=param1&p2=param2'; .... clientValidate(param3,param4); } If only I could have serverside validation return a value the function, then I could defined that value then the the clientValidate(param3,param5) to start other wise warn with a message. Both validation does work seperately. The issue is it triggered by one onChange event I have to put them in one function. Maybe I am on a wrong track. Please advise if anyone could have better solution. Thanks in advance. JT Similar TutorialsI know that Javascript is client side, but I'd like to know the best way to populate HTML drop downs in real time based on information typed in the other HTML form fields with information found on the server as opposed to the client. For instance if a user wants to select certain files located in a directory on the server, as they type in the pathname supposedly containing the files the drop downs continually refresh themselves with the server files listed in that directory (if it exists, and apache has permissions to see what's inside) as if it was showing client files instead. What would be nice is if my browser could continually query the server for some of its private information and not have to refresh itself to obtain it, whether that means the server-side would have to continually refresh itself makes no difference to me as long as the client-side doesn't have to. But I guess this is not possible because no matter what you would have to at least refresh the client-side page once? Submitting the form to a CGI or PHP script would not work because I need this functionality to help populate the form BEFORE I send it. I would like to not have to press a button to update the form every time I change the pathname and need to update the drop downs since this would be annoying. I'm open to anything that could do this or something similar not just Javascript. I'm not sure if you could accomplish this by converting the HTML page to CGI/PHP and having it continually reload itself without refreshing the page? I'm not worried about any security risks this may pose because: 1) The server is located on company intranet which is firewalled 2) I could always password protect and encrypt all transmissions, making sure only authorized users use the app Hi people, I need help as follows: On the server side I have a php generated session parameter. I need to pass it to javascript on the client side page. I saw on the web the following solution: <script language="JavaScript"> var mySessionVar="<%= Session["MySessionVar"] %>"; </script> I tried it but it did not work. I could not find any explanation of this syntax - will appreciate one. Any suggestions, maybe in another way? Thanks Hello again... I have written a custom slideshow script which gets the images from an array... The script will change the src of a img, which is a fullscreen background. Now here's the problem, I've been trying to write a function where can define a folder "gallery\test\", and then get all image files in that folder and repopulate the slideshow array. So, is there a way to scan folders? I've searched around and found some solutions where PHP is used, but i really want to keep this pure js, if possible (?) Thanks, Hi guys, I need your expertise regarding my dilema. I was able to create a simple google map html page at our web server, this web server has access to the internet. the problem is, when this page is accessed from a different PC that has no internet access, the google map won't work. I know that javascripts are run at the client side, so i'm asking is it possible to run everything at the server, including the javascripts and still output the google map? i used this tutorial to make my google map page : http://googlemaps.mayzes.org/ I would like to use functionality similar to DirectoryInfo and FileInfo using server-side javascript in ASP.NET, but neither are recognized. What are the equivalents, if they exist, in javascript?
Hi, I have a script that writes to an IFRAME, it writes dynamically and then needs to reload it server side. Anybody knows how to do it? I'm joining the code of my attempt but it appears to be reloading the IFRAME on the client side therefore causing an activeX error since I am running this in FireFox: PHP Code: var frTraductionID = document.getElementById("frTraduction"); frTraductionID = (frTraductionID.contentWindow) ? frTraductionID.contentWindow : (frTraductionID.contentDocument.document) ? frTraductionID.contentDocument.document : frTraductionID.contentDocument; var x=frTraductionID.document.getElementById("hCount").value; var ifrm = document.getElementById("ifUPDATE"); ifrm = (ifrm.contentWindow) ? ifrm.contentWindow : (ifrm.contentDocument.document) ? ifrm.contentDocument.document : ifrm.contentDocument; ifrm.document.open(); ifrm.document.write('<scr' + 'ipt language=javascript type="text/javascript" runat=server>'); ifrm.document.write('var fso = new Active' + 'XObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); '); ifrm.document.write('var f = fso.OpenTextFile("' + sFileName + '", 2, true); '); for (var i=0;i<x;i+=1) { var sString=""; sString +="f.WriteLine('"; sString +=frTraductionID.document.getElementById("h"+i).value; sString +='="'; sDetail=frTraductionID.document.getElementById("d"+i).value.replace('"', ' '); sDetail=sDetail.replace("'", "`"); sString +=sDetail; sString +='"'; sString +="')"; sString +="; "; alert("i = " + i + " str = " + sString); ifrm.document.write(sString); } ifrm.document.write("f.Close();"); ifrm.document.write("</Scr" + "ipt>"); ifrm.document.close(); document.getElementById('ifUPDATE').contentWindow.location.reload(true); any help would be appreciated. I'm attempting to pull the hidden iframe file upload trick using javascript. I've go my form file upload and iframe fine, but I can't figure out what to do when it gets server side. There seems to be relatively no documentation on how to handle uploaded files in server-side javascript. Ideas? I'm at a loss.
Hello, I have two problems. Firstly I am trying to make a form with client side validation but I have come across a problem. I need to validate the whole form under just one button but for validating email and phone number I have two different buttons and I am not sure how to make all the code run under just one button when it is submitted. The second problem is with validating the phone number. I am sure the code and javascript is fine, but for some reason it will not work.

I hope you guys can help. Thank you I have a form that I've made in the XHTML comprised of text boxes and radio buttons. I want to put a button on the page that when clicked, takes the values in the data, processes it client-side and then outputs it to the same page that it took the data from. I'm having difficulty know exactly how to reference the data in each form element. So far, it seems like I can use getElementById, but my efforts so far have stymied me.

Right down the bottom, under the word 'Quote is where the output should go. Any suggestions on how to do this? Regards Jenny Hi all, I would like to have an HTML button which, when clicked by the user, contacts the server and runs a Python script on the server. When the Python script finishes running, the current HTML page automatically reloads a file from the server. Is that possible? YJ Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read over my thread. I'm pretty new with Javascript coding and have been working with an example script for a new membership registration form. The original form seemed to have worked for most intents and purposes but it only contained one entry for a password field. Naturally I felt it needed a conformation field and have tried to stick one in, which is where I ran into problems. I successfully made the script throw an alert box if the two forms are the same, but it then throws another alert box of undefined function as well as throwing the same undefined function alert box even if the fields are a match. Hopefully a knowledgeable person could take a quick look at this and kindly inform me of where I'm going wrong? The code contains two of my numerous attempts to make it work (one commented out, it was easier to remember different things I have tried before to leave then in but commented out, I'm sure you all are quite familiar with that idea).

Hi, I have created a global navigation includes document. Unfortunately the drop down menus that are part of the navigation aren't working. They worked fine when they were part of the page, but now that they are separated from the page as includes the drop down menus don't appear in my test site (posted to a web server).

I have heard that it is wrong to just do client validtion. SO can anyone help me with my form? The code below, has client validation and php and I am not sure that I have got it right. Also I would need to cover server side validation too but have no idea on how to do this. I must say I have very small knowledge of JS. Does anyone know the easiest method of doing forms with php, JS server and client side validation.

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">

http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=87742 I've been using the advice and code here to start incorporating expanding/collapsing tables into my work, but I'm hitting a little problem. I want to have multiple such tables side-by-side (each headed by a picture and populated by a lightbox, which isn't the issue), but Dreamweaver wants nothing to do with the idea. I don't really even know if it's possible, but if it is I'd like to know what sort of changes I might need to make to achieve it.
I don't understand the logic of Break, Return False, Return True. It was never really covered in our college class, and I see everyone using it. I got an A in the class, if that 'proves' that I really tried to apply myself. NOTE: I understand what the function is doing. I just don't understand WHEN to use break, return false or return true if the the translator can determine the conditional statements. PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } else return false; } if the the translator can determine the conditional statements, why not write it like this: PHP Code: function submitForm(){ var ageSelected = false; for (var i=0; i<5; ++1){ if (document.forms[0].ageGroup[i].checked == true) { ageSelected = true; break; // what's the point for the 'break'? Won't the rest of the code be ignored since it passed the first condition? } } if (ageSelected == false){ window.alert("You must select your age group"); return false; } // why not leave the last else out? is it just a 'safety' catch, in case something other than true or false is inputted? else return false; // what's the point? } Questions: Why use return true, if the translator knows it's ture? Why use "return false" if the translator knows it's false and the alert window has already gone up? why not use "break" to stop the code? Why use the "return false" at the end "else" statement? Hi room, Hey, I opened up the source code for this page in google chrome and since i'm learning javascript, i wanted see if i could "read" it and figure out what was going on. I'm am having the hardest time understanding "return false" and "return true". Could someone step me through this via interpreting this code (in bold typeface): Code: var DefaultValue = 'Search';
function clearSearch() {
if (document.searchForm.q.value == DefaultValue) {
document.searchForm.q.value = '';
}
}
function validateSearchHeader() {
if ( document.searchForm.q.value == '' || document.searchForm.q.value.toLocaleLowerCase() == DefaultValue.toLocaleLowerCase() ) {
alert('Please enter at least one keyword in the Search box.');
document.searchForm.q.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
Thanks! I am trying to create two lists where data can be entered. The code below puts them on top of each other in the form. I am simply trying to get them next to each other (i.e. side-by-side). I have attempted using <div> or <table>, but have failed so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW... the user is asked to input the number of data they will be entering (datacount) in the body of the document. I am a newbie with JavaScript, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you! Code: function createXYForm() {
var numberOfData = document.forms[0].datacount.value;
var form = document.createElement("form"); // create a form
with(form) {
setAttribute("name", "theForm"); // give form a name
setAttribute("action", "./calculate.php"); // give form an action
setAttribute("method", "GET"); // give form a method
}
document.body.appendChild(form);
for (var i=1; i<=numberOfData; i++) {
var input = document.createElement("input"); // create an input element
with(input) {
setAttribute("name", "dataX[]"); // give input a name
setAttribute("type", "text"); // make it a text input
setAttribute("value", ""); // give input a value
}
form.appendChild(input); // append input to form
form.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}
form.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
for (var j=1; j<=numberOfData; j++) {
var input = document.createElement("input"); // create an input element
with(input) {
setAttribute("name", "dataY[]"); // give input a name
setAttribute("type", "text"); // make it a text input
setAttribute("value", ""); // give input a value
}
form.appendChild(input); // append input to form
form.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}
form.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
var input = document.createElement("input"); // create an input element
with(input) {
setAttribute("type", "submit"); // make it a submit button
setAttribute("value", "Submit"); // give input a value
}
form.appendChild(input); // append input to form
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(form); // append form to body element
}
