JavaScript - Array/validation
--Got it.
Similar TutorialsHello, I have just started learning JavaScript, so I do not know much about it at this moment. I need some help regarding validation of input values which are actually in an array. Okay, my HTML looks like this: Code: Link# 1: <input name="url[]" size="80" type="text"> Title# 1:<input name="title[]" size="80" type="text"> Link# 2: <input name="url[]" size="80" type="text"> Title# 2:<input name="title[]" size="80" type="text"> Link# 3: <input name="url[]" size="80" type="text"> Title# 3:<input name="title[]" size="80" type="text"> . . . . . And so on. (up to 20) User can add more input fields by adding "Add" button; I'm using JavaScript for that purpose. By default, only a couple of fields is shown. I want to validate these all fields using a loop or a number of loops, such that an alert appears if any field is left blank and also if any value in title[] array matches another value in that array and same for the second array url[] Examples of working would be something like this: Code: If Link# 1 is left blank: alert("Link# 1 is empty"); or If Link# 2 is left blank: alert("Link# 2 is empty"); or If Title# 1 is left blank: alert("Title# 1 is empty"); or If Title# 2 is left blank: alert("Title# 2 is empty"); or If Link# 1 == Link# 2: alert("Link# 1 is same as Link#2"); or If Link# 1 == Link# 3: alert("Link# 1 is same as Link#2"); or If Title# 1 == Title# 3: alert("Title# 1 is same as Title#3"); etc, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Hi, I have a .php page that have a multiple check box question that requires validation whether or not the user checked any values. ----------------------------- HTML: ----------------------------- <p><font color="#FF0000">*</font> If you are a health professional, what is your practice setting (check all that apply):<br> <input name="Q2_PracticeSetting[]" type="checkbox" value="Hospital"> Hospital<br> <input name="Q2_PracticeSetting[]" type="checkbox" value="Outpatient setting"> Outpatient setting<br> <input name="Q2_PracticeSetting[]" type="checkbox" value="Academia"> Academia<br> <input name="Q2_PracticeSetting[]" type="checkbox" value="Research"> Research<br> <input name="Q2_PracticeSetting[]" type="checkbox" value="Other"> Other </p> ----------------------------- Using Javascript: ----------------------------- function ValidateForm() { field = document.register.firstname; if (isBlank(field, "First Name")) return false; field = document.register.lastname; if (isBlank(field, "Last Name")) return false; field = document.register.credential; if (isBlank(field, "Credentials")) return false; field = document.register.email; if (isBlank(field, "Email Address")) return false; if (!isEmail(field, "Email Address")) return false; var chks = document.register.elements['Q2_PracticeSetting[]']; var hasChecked = true; for (var i=0;i<chks.length;i++){ if (chks[i].checked){ hasChecked = false; break; } } if (!hasChecked){ alert("Please select at least one."); chks[0].focus(); return false; } return true; } ----------------------------- Result: ----------------------------- Not working Any help is much apprciated! 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> Hello all, new here Seems like a very nice place to be apart of. I have my website www.gebcn.com. If you view source you will see all that I have done, but more importantly my problem. I have the JS code at the top there and I am unable to W3C validate my HTML because of the JS. I am using XHTML strict and would like to stay using it. The JS I have at the top is my form validation code. I am able to do any validating that I need with this "snippet" of code, I have shrank it from my library version just to use for this newsletter. Until now W3C validating was not important now for some reason it is and I am faced with this problem. I am not a Javascript guy more of a HTML/CSS guy and I can manipulate JS to suit my needs. <problem> I have tried to make this "snippet" of JS code an external file but receive multiple errors with the JS calling for the FORM NAME as it is not on the same page. The form NAME=NEWSLETTER is another problem, as W3C says I am unable to use attribute "NAME" in this location. <problem> I would like to keep the JS close to how it is now as I have a library to use this JS over and over again. Any pointers in the right direction or solutions to my problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Hopefully it is not to hard huh If there is anything anyone needs, the code pasted here, or anything else please let me know. Thanks again! I am working on a page where the user will select a location from a dynamically generated dropdown list. I was able to create the php multidimensional array (tested and working) from a MySql database using the users information at login, but I'm having problems converting it to a javascript multidimensional array. I need to be able to access variables that I can pass to a number of text fields within an html form. For instance, if a user belongs to a company with multiple addresses, I need to be able to let them select the address they need to prepopulate specific text fields. php array creation: Code: if ($row_locations) { while ($row_locations = mysql_fetch_assoc($locations)) { $mail[$row_locations['comp_id']]=array('mailto'=>$row_locations['mailto'], 'madd'=>$row_locations['madd'], 'madd2'=>$row_locations['madd2'], 'mcity'=>$row_locations['mcity'], 'mstate'=>$row_locations['mstate'], 'mzip'=>$row_locations['mzip'], 'billto'=>$row_locations['billto'], 'badd'=>$row_locations['badd'], 'badd2'=>$row_locations['badd2'], 'bcity'=>$row_locations['bcity'], 'bstate'=>$row_locations['bstate'], 'bzip'=>$row_locations['bzip']); } } javascript function - this should create the array and send variables to text fields. Code: function updateAddress() { var mail = $.parseJSON(<?php print json_encode(json_encode($mail)); ?>); { if (comp_id in mail) { document.getElementById('mailto').value=mail.comp_id.mailto.value; document.getElementById('madd').value=mail.comp_id.madd.value; document.getElementById('madd2').value=mail.comp_id.madd2.value; document.getElementById('mcity').value=mail.comp_id.mcity.value; document.getElementById('mstate').value=mail.comp_id.mstate.value; document.getElementById('mzip').value=mail.comp_id.mzip.value; } else { document.getElementById('mailto').value=''; document.getElementById('madd').value=''; document.getElementById('madd2').value=''; document.getElementById('mcity').value=''; document.getElementById('mstate').value=''; document.getElementById('mzip').value=''; } } } Where is this breaking? Thanks in advance. I have the following array that contain the people who are on off on certain time: Code: var all = [ ["1234", "Jim", "2011-10-23 00:00:00", "2011-10-25 07:00:00"], ["1235", "Jack", "2011-10-21 00:00:00", "2011-10-21 08:00:00"], ["1236", "Jane", "2011-10-11 00:00:00", "2011-10-11 00:30:00"], ["1237", "June", "2011-10-20 00:00:00", "2011-10-20 12:00:00"], ["1238", "Jill", "2011-10-14 00:00:00", "2011-10-14 11:00:00"], ["1239", "John", "2011-10-16 00:00:00", "2011-10-16 10:30:00"], ["1240", "Jacab", "2011-10-19 00:00:00", "2011-10-20 08:30:00"] ]; The above array, I wish to use javascript to insert into the FullCalendar (http://arshaw.com/fullcalendar/). I notice that the only way seems to be using the FullCalendar array style (or structure) as follows: Code: $('#calendar').fullCalendar({ events: [ { title : 'event1', start : '2010-01-01' }, { title : 'event2', start : '2010-01-05', end : '2010-01-07' }, { title : 'event3', start : '2010-01-09 12:30:00', allDay : false // will make the time show } ] }); So, the question is: How do I insert my array to match with the FullCalendar array? cause FullCalendar array had a different array structure from my array - and I don't think so that I can write in this way: Code: $('#calendar').fullCalendar({ events:all }); Appreciate any help provided. Hey guys, I'm hoping this is possible or that there is an easier way to do this. I'm having an issue with displaying data from one array that contains information about users in a table that is controlled by a different array. Is it possible to do this or is this use of arrays to display the data the wrong approach? The table is located on one webpage, I simply want to extract one piece of information that I have placed in the initial array as part of the login script that contains user information (for validation for login etc) and display it in a table on the new webpage that is opened as a result of successful validation of the user details. I'm completely stumped and after many attempts I just can't seem to get it to work. I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. In my website, I would like the user to input text into a single or multiple textbox(es) and then have the contents of the textbox(es) stored to either a variable or an array. Then I would like to have that variable/array compared to other arrays. Basically, the user is searching for items in a database. The user can search for as many or as little items as they want. Then the item(s) will be compared to multiple arrays to find out if what the user wants is in the database. So for example, let's say the user is searching for recipes that have all or part of these ingredients: chicken, broccoli, lemon, honey. So, there would have been a total of 4 textboxes...one for each ingredient. These ingredients are stored to an array..lets call it ingredient(). In the database of recipes, each recipe has its own array which includes the ingredients needed to make the recipe, we'll call them tag1(), tag2(), and tag3(). Now, I want the array, ingredient(), to be compared to each of the "tag" arrays to see if any of the "tag" arrays include exactly match the ingredient() tag in part or in whole. Is this possible? Hi, In a nutshell,can anyone tell me how to copy a 2d (two dimensional ,2 dimensional) php array to 2d javascript array?I would be obliged if anyone can provide me a method of doing that OR I have written a code to copy a 2d php array to a 2d javascript array.It is working but there is one problem(please see the following).Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? The 2d php array is $quest[100][6] and the 2d javascript array is questions[100][6] . I have written the javascript code inside the <?php....?> itself using echo "<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">.......</script>; Now ,inside the javascript,when I try to copy the 2d php array to the 2d javascript array using the following method it works questions[0]= ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[0]); ?>"]; questions[1]= ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[1]); ?>"]; ... and so on However, if I try to do the same using the following method it does not work for (var i= 0; i <= 99; i++) { questions[i]= ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[i]); ?>"]; } Why is that?What mistake am I making?Any help will be deeply appreciated.Thanks -----------------------------THE CODE------------------------------------ <?php Access database and store result of mysq_query in $result....... $result = mysql_query($query); for ( $count = 0; $count <= 99; $count++) { $quest[$count]=mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM);; } echo "<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var questions = new Array(100); for (var i = 0; i <100; i++) { questions[i] = new Array(6); } /*The following method of copying 2d php array to 2d javascript array is not working for ( var i = 0; i <= 99; i++) { questions[i]= ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[i]); ?>"]; } */ /*The following method ,however,is working*/ questions[0]= ["<?php echo join("\", \"", $quest[0]); ?>"]; questions[1] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"",$quest[1]); ?>"]; questions[2] = ["<?php echo join("\", \"",$quest[2]); ?>"]; ....and so on </script>"; mysql_close($db_server); ?> Hi, Here is a working code to copy 2d php array to 2d javascript array.

I'm having major pains trying to figure this out. I'm kind of new to Javascript, I need to open a text file from an external server, store each line in an array, then search that array for a certain word (HIGH), and if it exists then write something to the webpage, and if not, write something else.

I've read to put "&" in place of it, but whenever I do this, the code stops working.

Thanks in Advance Hey. Could someone point me in the direction of why this is not working, it worked in my last program, but not since I have changed things. I have a standard html form Code: <form method="POST" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)" action="anniversaryPreview.php"> <p class="demo5">Senders Name<a class="textFields2"> <input type="text" name="sender" value="e.g. Love from Nick" size="30" maxlength="35" /></a></p> <p class="btn2" > <input type="submit" value="Preview"></p> </form> And this should call up return validate_form(this) before bringing up the php page. Now the validator is just Code: function validate_required(field, alerttxt) { if (field.value == null || field.value == "") { alert(alerttxt); return false; } else { return true; } } function validate_form(thisform) { if (validate_required(thisform.name,"Please specify the receivers name.")==false) { thisform.name.focus(); return false; } if (validate_required(thisform.sender,"Please specify the sender's name.")==false) { thisform.sender.focus(); return false; } } (This is not in the html file, but its own seperate file) I cant see if I have made any mistakes with the variables names or something, or what I am doing wrong. Dont get any errors, just nothing happens if I leave my forms fields blank. Anyone have an idea of whats going on here? cheers Hi, got my form here Code: <form method="POST" onsubmit="return validateFormOnSubmit1(this)" action="sendEmail.php"> <p class="demo2">Receivers E-mail<a class="textFields"> <input type="text" name="receiver" size="30" maxlength="35" /></a></p> <p class="demo2">Senders E-mail<a class="textFields2"> <input type="text" name="sender" size="30" maxlength="35" /></a></p> <p class="btn" > <input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Send"/></p> </form> And that should call up this Code: function validateFormOnSubmit1(theForm) { var reason = ""; reason += validateEmail1(theForm.receiver); reason += validateEmail1(theForm.sender); if (reason != "") { alert("Some fields need correction:\n" + reason); return false; } return true; } function trim(s) { return s.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/, ''); } function validateEmail1(fld) { var error=""; var tfld = trim(fld.value); // value of field with whitespace trimmed off var emailFilter = /^[^@]+@[^@.]+\.[^@]*\w\w$/ ; var illegalChars= /[\(\)\<\>\,\;\:\\\"\[\]]/ ; if (fld.value == "") { fld.style.background = 'Yellow'; error = "You didn't enter an email address.\n"; } else if (!emailFilter.test(tfld)) { //test email for illegal characters fld.style.background = 'Yellow'; error = "Please enter a valid email address.\n"; } else if (fld.value.match(illegalChars)) { fld.style.background = 'Yellow'; error = "The email address contains illegal characters.\n"; } else if (fld.value.length == 0) { fld.style.background = 'Yellow'; error = "The required field has not been filled in.\n" } else { fld.style.background = 'White'; } return error; } For some reason though the validation is not working. Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong? cheers Hi All, I have a java script invoked within an ANT template. This java script as of now converts a text file to xml file. Now, how would I do the schema validation of that XML file against an XSD in the javascript? Saw many examples online but they were using MSXML or java classes Would be glad to have any sort of suggestions.. Thanks In my project i have a from which have several fields. The form is <form name="reg" action="payment.jsp" method="post"> ----------- <tr> <td>First name:</td> <td><input type="text" name="firstname"/></td></tr> -------------------------- <input type="submit" value="Next" onclick="fun()" /> ------------ </form> Then to validate the fields i have used JavaScript.They are validating rightly using a alert box. But when i am pressing ok of the alert box the control is passing to the page i have written in action of the form.I want when i will press ok it should come back to the same page.Only if all fields are then it should go to the page refereed in action. Can anyone help me? The JavaScript code is <script type="text/javascript"> function fun() { var x=document.forms["reg"]["firstname"].value; if (x==null || x=="") { alert("First name must be filled out"); } Hello, I dont know if I am going about this the right way, but.. I am trying to validate an email address. If the email is a valid looking email address, it will render the submit button disabled to prevent dupe's while the rest of the script processes. The email validation portion works, but, the part where it renders the form submit button disabled does not: <script type="text/javascript"> 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; submit.disabled = true;} } } function validate_form(thisform) { with (thisform) { if (validate_email(email,"Please enter a valid email address.")==false) {email.focus();return false;} } } </script> Any guidance or help would be apreciated. hey there, i dont have much experience with javascript and am doing a website that makes limited use of it. i need to take a text form and set it so that when a number is entered and submitted that falls within a certain range, a corresponding graphic is displayed based upon the set range it falls within. ie user enters '2' and a photo of an apple displays to the right user enters '3' and a photo of an orange displays to the right user enters '4' and wisconsin explodes. aforehand thanks. |
