JavaScript - Need Help With My Validation Code For My Form To File Web Form
Hi All,
I have created my second Form to File Web Form thanks to some help from other members. Looks great. I am still new to HTML and Javascript, but basically I took my First Web Form coding (with the Java Script) and manipulated it so that it suited my needs for my 2nd Form (both are very close to being the same). For some reason, I can't get my Java Script validation to take effect. I was wondering if some one could try to pin point why it isn't functioning properly? Again it could be the most obvious thing, but please bear with me as I learn. Just for a little more clarity, I am going to list the things that I have changed to possibly make it easier to pin point: Added Fields: Department, SteetAddress, CityState Deleted: State/Research Accounts, Vendor Checkbox Modified: "Type" which is a radio button that I have changed the choices of. I beleive that's it...I will post my Java Script here and attach my Index File. Thank you in advance!! Code: /******************************************************************************** * * FORM VALIDATION * ********************************************************************************/ // get the value of a radio button group: function getRBValue(grp) { if ( grp.length == null ) return grp.checked ? grp.value : null; for ( var g = 0; g < grp.length; ++g ) { if ( grp[g].checked ) return grp[g].value; } return null; } // trim a string function trim(fld) { var val = fld.value.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+%/,"").toUpperCase(); fld.value = val; return val; } var echk = /^([a-z][\w\-\'\.]*)+\@([a-z][\w\-\'\.]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6}$/i function emailCheck( fld ) { var email = trim( fld ); fld.value = email; return echk.test(email); } var digonly = /[^\d]/g function formatPhone( fld ) { var ph = fld.value.replace( digonly, "" ); if ( ph.length != 10 ) return; fld.value = "(" + ph.substring(0,3) + ") " + ph.substring(3,6) + "-" + ph.substring(6); } var phchk = /^\(\d\d\d\) \d\d\d\-\d\d\d\d$/ function phoneCheck( fld ) { return phchk.test(fld.value); } function validateForm( frm ) { var oops = ""; if ( trim( frm.elements["Username."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your first and last name\n"; if ( ! emailCheck( frm.elements["Email."] ) ) oops += "That does not appear to be a valid email address\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["Department."] ).length < 3) oops += "You must enter your department name\n"; if ( ! phoneCheck( frm.elements["Phone."] ) ) oops += "That is not a valid 10-digit phone number\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["ShipToBuildingRoom."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your building and room information\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["StreetAddress."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your street address information\n"; if ( trim( frm.elements["CityZip."] ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter your city and zip code information\n"; apptype = getRBValue( frm.elements["Type."] ); if ( apptype == null ) oops += "You must check one class\n"; var app = getRBValue( frm.RequireApprovalYesNo ); if ( app == null ) oops += "You must specify whether or not approval is required.\n"; if ( app == "Yes" ) { if ( trim( frm.Approver ).length < 5 ) oops += "You must enter the name of the approver\n"; if ( ! emailCheck( frm.ApprovalEmail ) ) oops += "The approval email is not a valid email address\n"; } } function showapp(yesno) { document.getElementById("APP1").style.display = document.getElementById("APP2").style.display = document.getElementById("APP3").style.display = yesno ? "" : "none"; } </SCRIPT> Similar TutorialsI need help with a JavaScript form validation code. I am using the form validation code that is found on this page: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...uiredcheck.htm The code works fine for me, but what I'm trying to do is add an additional condition to it. Currently, I just have the code set up to check if the user has enter their name, email, and phone number. But I also need it to validate something else only if a specific condition is true. On my form I have 2 different sets of Radio lists. One is called Function and the other radio list is called Design. If the user selects an option on one of the 2 lists, then it will be required for the user to also select an option from the 2nd list. The user CAN decide not to select anything from either radio list, but can not select from one list and NOT from the other. This is the If statement that I created (don't know if its correct or how to insert it to my current validation code). Code: <script type="text/javascript"> if (Function+Design<1 or == 400 or == 800) {document.write("Please select both a Function and Design Type");} </script> I am trying to use some JavaScript code that I found by searching the web, my goal is to have a form with a "required" checkbox to force my users to acknowledge they have read my "Terms and Conditions" section. The code that I found ALMOST works properly - it does pop-up the "Alert" window when the checkbox is blank and the submit button is clicked... however, if the user closes the Alert window in order to click the checkbox in compliance, the "submit.form" command is executed before they have a chance. In other words, there is no "pause" in the execution of the script to allow the user to make the correction by clicking the checkbox. Here is the code: Code: <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function ValidateForm(form){ ErrorText= ""; if ( form.terms.checked == false ) { alert ( "Please check the Terms & Conditions box." ); return false; } if (ErrorText= "") { form.submit() }} --> </script> Here is the HTML for the checkbox: Code: <input name="terms" type="checkbox" value="Yes" /> Here is the HTML for the submit button that calls the function: Code: <input type="submit" value="Continue" onclick="ValidateForm(this.form)" /> I've searched for other examples of code to accomplish this objective, but I'm hoping for a quicker solution by coming to the experts who can see the flaw in this JavaScript. Thanks for any help, Rob I am trying to set up a looping structure that tests to see if the user enters a value. If the textbox is null then a global variable is false otherwise a checkbox is checked and the global variable is true. below is what i have done so far, please assist me. var isValid = false; window.onload = startForm; function startForm() { document.forms[0].firstName.focus(); document.forms[0].onsubmit = checkEntries; alert("You have been added to the list") } function checkEntries() { var menus = new Array(); var formObject = document.getElementsByTagName('*'); for (var i=0; i < formObject.length; i++){ if (formObject[i] == "myform") menus.push(formObject[i]); if (document.forms[0].firstName.value.length==0 || document.forms[0].firstName.value.length == null){ isValid= false; alert("Please enter a first name"); } else (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true); isValid=true; if (document.forms[0].lastName=="" || document.forms[0].lastName== null){ alert("Please enter a last name"); isValid = false; } else (document.forms[0].check1.checked=true); isValid=true; if (document.forms[0].email=="" || document.forms[0].email== null) { alert("Please enter a valid email"); } else return (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true); isValid=true; if (document.forms[0].bDate=="" || document.forms[0].bDate== null) { isValid=false; alert("please make sure you enter a valid birth date."); } else (document.forms[0].check0.checked=true); isValid=true; } } here is the form html... <form name="myform" > <input type="checkbox" name="check0" class="check0" id="check0" > First: <input type="text" name="firstName" id="firstName"> <BR> <input type="checkbox" name="check1" class="check1" id="check1" > Last: <input type="text" name="lastName" id="lastName" ><BR> <input type="checkbox" name="check2" class="check2" id="check2" > E-Mail: <input type="text" name="email" id="email"> <BR> <input type="checkbox" name="check3" class="check3" id="check3" > Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy): <input type="text" name="bDate" id="bDate"> <BR> <input type="submit" value="Join our mailing List" /> </form> 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 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"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;

(newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong? here is my code so far... Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok. Code: .... <script type="text/javascript"> window.onload = function() { document.forms[0].username.focus(); } function validate(form) { var form = document.getElementById("reg"); var e = document.getElementById("error"); e.style.background = "red"; for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++) { var el = form.elements[i]; if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password") { if(el.value == "") { e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!"; el.style.border = "1px solid red"; el.focus(); return false; } else { el.style.border = "1px solid green"; return false; } } } var un = form.username; un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; un.focus(); return false; } var pw = form.password; pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,""); if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value))) { e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters"; pw.focus(); return false; } e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!"; e.style.background = "green"; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"> <h1>My Cool Website</h1> </div> <div id="content"> <div class="padding"> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them.

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 } }); }); I have been hard at work coding a fancy JQuery form validation script. Problem is, when I run validation on my form, it seems to work, but no email is sent. But when I disable validation, the email sends just fine. I am fairly new to JavaScript, and need some help pinpointing where my error is. Here is the code. Code: // BEGIN JAVASCRIPT $(function(){ //original field values var field_values = { //id : value 'name' : 'your name', 'email' : 'your email', 'yourmessage' : 'I would like to inquire about' }; //inputfocus $('input#name').inputfocus({ value: field_values['name'] }); $('input#email').inputfocus({ value: field_values['email'] }); $('textarea#yourmessage').inputfocus({ value: field_values['yourmessage'] }); //form validation $('form').submit(function validateForm(){ return false }); // removing this return false seems to mess up validation $('#submit').click(function(){ //remove classes $('#sendamessage input').removeClass('error').removeClass('valid'); //ckeck if inputs aren't empty var emailPattern = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$/; var fields1 = $('#sendamessage input[type=text],#sendamessage textarea'); var error = 0; fields1.each(function(){ var value = $(this).val(); if( value.length<2 || value==field_values[$(this).attr('id')] || ( $(this).attr('id')=='email' && !emailPattern.test(value) ) ) { $(this).addClass('error'); // css class $(this).effect("shake", { times:3 }, 50); error++; } else { $(this).addClass('valid'); // css class } }); if(!error) { // this is where I get confused. How do I make this send the form? alert('Data sent'); }); } }); }); // END JAVASCRIPT <form method="post" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm()" > <input type="hidden" name="ccf_customhtml" value="1" /> <input type="hidden" name="success_message" value="Thank you for filling out our form!" /> <input type="hidden" name="destination_email" value="dauidus@gmail.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="required_fields" value="" /> <label for="name">Name</label> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="your name" /> <label for="email">Email</label> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="your email" /> <label for="yourmessage">Your Message</label> <textarea name="yourmessage" id="yourmessage" value="I would like to inquire about" style="margin-bottom:20px;" />I would like to inquire about</textarea> <input class="send submit" id="submit" type="submit" value="" style="position: relative; bottom: -70px; left: 25px; " /> </form> I am using a WordPress plugin to automatically send the contents of the form to email. It works without the javascript enabled. But when I turn on JS the form gets validated, but no email is sent. Please let me know if I should include anything else here... I've been looking at this code so much that I'm having a hard time doing it with fresh eyes. The problem page is on http://new.dauidusdesign.com/contact/. FYI, I am also looking to make this work with the 'request a quote' link on the same page. Cheers! -Dave I've been using a script for verifying forms across several pages, and I've run into a page where it won't work the way it is. It's a form that loops through and creates a set of fields over and over, depending on the number of attendees. I'm assuming this disrupts the form verification because the fields get generated with the same id. I think I need to find another way to make sure the user enters valid and complete information. Here's what I've been using: Code: function myForm(){ // Make quick references to our fields var fname = document.getElementById('fname'); var lname = document.getElementById('lname'); var birth_month = document.getElementById('birth_month'); var birthday = document.getElementById('birthday'); var birthyear = document.getElementById('birthyear'); // Check each input in the order that it appears in the form! if(isAlphabet(fname, "Please enter only letters for your first name")){ if(isAlphabet(lname, "Please enter only letters for your last name")){ if(madeSelection(birth_month, "Pleace choose a birth month")){ if(madeSelection(birthday, "Please choose a birth day")){ if(madeSelection(birthyear, "Please choose a birth year")){ return true; } } } } } return false; } function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){ var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z ]+$/; if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){ return true; }else{ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; } } function madeSelection(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.value == ''){ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); return false; }else{ return true; } } </script> <!-- the snippet that creates the form fields is he --> $count = $line; $i = 1; while ($i <= $count) { $i++; /* the printed value would be $i before the increment (post-increment) */ $x = $i-1; ?> <form name="register1" class="registration_form" method="post" action="register2.php" target="_self" onsubmit="return myForm()"> First Name<br><input type="text" name="kfname[]" id="fname" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" /><br> Kid's Last Name<br><input type="text" name="klname[]" id="lname" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" /><br> Birthdate<br> <select style="width:75px;" id="birth_month" name="bdate2[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">month</option> <option value="01">Jan</option> <option value="02">Feb</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> <select style="width:57px;" id="birthday" name="bdate[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">day</option> <option value="01">01</option> <option value="02">02</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> <select style="width:60px;" id="birthyear" name="bdate3[]" onfocus="this.className='reg_live';" onblur="this.className='reg_off';" > <option value="">year</option> <option value="1993">1993</option> <option value="1994">1994</option> <!-- etcetera --> </select> </form> So I have a little calendar widget on my site, for people to choose their dates for a reservation system. They then click a 'Book Now' button which creates a dynamic url (using their start date and the number of dates) to the booking engine. The problem is, the way it accomplishes this (window.location.href=), breaks cross-domain tracking on Google Analytics. And I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do it any other way. What I'd like to do is have clicking the Book Now button change the URL in the form action within the form with ID resForm, and then submit the form. I'm hoping someone can help me edit the form so that it accomplishes this. I'd be incredibly thankful. This is what I currently have: Code: <script> jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $(".book-now").click(function() { if($('#check-in').length > 0 && $('#DepartureDate').val() != '') { var data = $('#check-in').val(); var arr = data.split('/'); var datac = $('#DepartureDate').val(); var arr2 = datac.split('/'); var oneDay = 24*60*60*1000; // hours*minutes*seconds*milliseconds var firstDate = new Date(arr[2],arr[0] -1,arr[1]); var secondDate = new Date(arr2[2],arr2[0] -1,arr2[1]); var diffDays = Math.round((firstDate.getTime() - secondDate.getTime())/(oneDay)); if ((diffDays) < 0) { diffDays = Math.abs(diffDays); var link = "https://res.windsurfercrs.com/bbe/page1.aspx?propertyID=13841&checkin=" + arr[0] + "/" + arr[1] + "/" + arr[2] + "&nights=" + diffDays; console.log(link); window.location.href= link; } else { alert ('Please fill in correct Check-In and Check-Out dates. The Check-In date must be before the Check-Out date.'); } } else { alert ('Please fill in a Check-In and Check-Out date, thanks!'); } }); }); </script> The form looks like this: Code: <form action="#" onSubmit="_gaq.push(['_linkByPost',this]);" method="post" id="resForm"> <input type='text' name="checkin" id="check-in" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" data-default="MM/DD/YYYY" class='arrivaldate'/> <input name="checkout" id="DepartureDate" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" data-default="MM/DD/YYYY" class='departuredate'/> <input type="button" value="BOOK NOW" class='book-now' /> </form> Reply With Quote 01-25-2015, 12:46 AM #2 Old Pedant View Profile View Forum Posts Supreme Master coder!

Code: _gaq.push(['_linkByPost',document.getElementBy("resForm")]) window.location.href= link; 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've got a Uni-Form webform (similar to this one: http://ilija.biz/projects/uniform/) I'm using this for the AJAX validation: http://ilija.biz/projects/uniform/js/jquery.uni-form.js However, I can't seem to get it to work for checkboxes (or radio boxes). Code: Code: <p> <label for="I_Agree_TOS" class="inlineLabel"><input name="I Agree TOS" id="I_Agree_TOS" value="Yes" type="checkbox" class="required"/> <span>* I agree to all the Terms & Conditions</span></label> </p> </div> I would really appreciate some quick help on this! Thanks! Hey friends, I am working on making a simple form validation that will also validate that the email entered is in proper form.

Hawk</option> <option value="bigby">Atari Bigby</option> <option value="barnett">Nick Barnett</option> </select> </label></p> <p>Options: <label for="home"><input type="checkbox" id="home" value="Yes" /> Home Jersey </label> <label for="away"><input type="checkbox" id="away" value="Yes" /> Away Jersey</label></p> <p> <label for="jerseySet">Size: <input type="radio" id="large" name="jerseySet" value="sizeLarge" class="radio" /> Large <input type="radio" id="xlarge" name="jerseySet" value="sizeXlarge" class="radio" /> X-Large </label></p> <p> <label for="zip">Enter your Zip code:<br /> Zip: <input id="zip" type="text" size="5" maxlength="5" class="isZip dealerList" /> <select id="dealerList" size="4" class="zip"> <option value="Kenosha--Wisconsin">Kenosha--Wisconsin</option> <option value="Racine--Wisconsin">Racine--Wisconsin</option> <option value="Milwaukee--Wisconsin">Milwaukee--Wisconsin</option> <option value="Waukesha--Wisconsin">Waukesha--Wisconsin</option> <option value="Waterford--Wisconsin">Waterford--Wisconsin</option> </select> </label></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /> <input type="reset" /></p> </form> This is my JavaScript: Code: window.onload = initForms; function initForms() { for (var i=0; i< document.forms.length; i++) { document.forms[i].onsubmit = function() {return validForm();} } document.getElementById("home").onclick = jerseySet; } function validForm() { var allGood = true; var allTags = document.getElementsByTagName("*"); for (var i=0; i<allTags.length; i++) { if (!validTag(allTags[i])) { allGood = false; } } return allGood; function validTag(thisTag) { var outClass = ""; var allClasses = thisTag.className.split(" "); for (var j=0; j<allClasses.length; j++) { outClass += validBasedOnClass(allClasses[j]) + " "; } thisTag.className = outClass; if (outClass.indexOf("invalid") > -1) { invalidLabel(thisTag.parentNode); thisTag.focus(); if (thisTag.nodeName == "INPUT") { thisTag.select(); } return false; } return true; function validBasedOnClass(thisClass) { var classBack = ""; switch(thisClass) { case "": case "invalid": break; case "reqd": if (allGood && thisTag.value == "") { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; break; case "radio": if (allGood && !radioPicked(thisTag.name)) { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; break; case "isNum": if (allGood && !isNum(thisTag.value)) { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; break; case "isZip": if (allGood && !isZip(thisTag.value)) { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; break; case "email": if (allGood && !validEmail(thisTag.value)) { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; break; default: if (allGood && !crossCheck(thisTag,thisClass)) { classBack = "invalid "; } classBack += thisClass; } return classBack; } function crossCheck(inTag,otherFieldID) { if (!document.getElementById(otherFieldID)) { return false; } return (inTag.value != "" || document.getElementById(otherFieldID).value != ""); } function radioPicked(radioName) { var radioSet = ""; for (var k=0; k<document.forms.length; k++) { if (!radioSet) { radioSet = document.forms[k][radioName]; } } if (!radioSet) { return false; } for (k=0; k<radioSet.length; k++) { if (radioSet[k].checked) { return true; } } return false; } function isNum(passedVal) { if (passedVal == "") { return false; } for (var k=0; k<passedVal.length; k++) { if (passedVal.charAt(k) < "0") { return false; } if (passedVal.charAt(k) > "9") { return false; } } return true; } function isZip(inZip) { if (inZip == "") { return true; } return (isNum(inZip)); } function validEmail(email) { var invalidChars = " /:,;"; if (email == "") { return false; } for (var k=0; k<invalidChars.length; k++) { var badChar = invalidChars.charAt(k); if (email.indexOf(badChar) > -1) { return false; } } var atPos = email.indexOf("@",1); if (atPos == -1) { return false; } if (email.indexOf("@",atPos+1) != -1) { return false; } var periodPos = email.indexOf(".",atPos); if (periodPos == -1) { return false; } if (periodPos+3 > email.length) { return false; } return true; } function invalidLabel(parentTag) { if (parentTag.nodeName == "LABEL") { parentTag.className += " invalid"; } } } } function jerseySet() { if (this.checked) { document.getElementById("sizeLarge").checked = true; } } It will not submit and process. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance. I am a Newbie to JS and have a quick form validation question. I have a select box where a user can select different install locations. let's say options CD, network, USB, etc. Now, if they choose network, I have a hidden text option that pops out and asks them for the path. I want to create a validation script that requires the text field for the network path to be required if the network option is selected. Here is the code I have, but it is always showing my alert, it never actually views when the user has selected the NetworkInstallation. Please help! Thank you so much in advance. <code> if ( !checkSelect(form.InstallLocation == NetworkInstallation && txtNetworkInstallation == "") ) { errors[errors.length] = "Please fill out network location."; } </code> Hi, I am doing a form validation where the form fields are dynamically created.. I need to show errormessages(Instead of alert messages) for the fields which fails validation... For time being I have created a dummy hardcoded form to test validation... The classnames could be named as "mandatory|date" mandatory|email etc... or it can be null or it can be only named as email,date,numbers etc.... So Here I need to either 1) alert the label values and show corresponding error messages(eg.. Name should not be empty, email should not be empty etc... 2) Display error messages next to the field which fails validation... But also please keep it in mind that the div id for each fields would be same... So is there any way to get this done even thru DOM scripting..? For reference please find the attachment... Please help... Hey Guys. I am not good at javascript and need a little help. I have a form on a page and it already validates that the user has entered something. But, what I need the validator to do, is ensure that the information submitted is only numbers, and has to be 5 digits. Javascript Function: Code: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function checkFields() { zipcode = document.form.zipcode.value; if (zipcode == "") { alert("Please provide your zip code."); return false; } else return true; } </script> My Form Call: Code: onSubmit="return checkFields();" Good Day, I am new to this forum so i hope i am posting in the correct place. I have been working on a form validation in javascript where the error messages should be displayed beside the form field (no alerts!). The error message is displayed when i iuse alerts but not otherwise. I have included a code snippet below. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. function validation() { //alert('made it here'); var fName = document.getElementById('txtFname').value; var fNameId = document.getElementById('txtFname'); if(validateName(fName,fNameId)){ return true; } return false; } function validateName(name,id){ var ck_name = /^[A-Za-z0-9 ]{6,20}$/; //alert('made it it here'); if(!ck_name.test(name)) { //alert("Invalid"); var message = "Should be between 3 and 20 characters and made up of etters, numbers or - symbol"; //create a new span element var sp = document.createElement('span'); //assign the new span element a class sp.className = 'error'; //assign span some content sp.appendChild(document.createTextNode(message)); //place the message after the form field document.body.insertBefore(sp, id); name.value=""; name.focus(); return false; } return true; } Hello, I'm still learning javascript and have recently started to try to gain a better grasp on it. I'm trying to validate a form to ensure all fields are marked. Everything works except it's not validating the Education Level and Gender. I've looked at other forms in an attempt to correct this, but the changes I've made haven't worked. Any ideas? If you'd rather me upload it to a website, let me know. Thanks Code: function checkTextBox() { if (document.forms[0].name.value == "") { window.alert("You must enter your name."); document.forms[0].name.focus(); return false; } else return true; } function checkRadio() { var genderSelected = false; for (var i = 0; i < 2; ++i) { if (document.forms[0].Gender[i].checked == true) { genderSelected = true; break; } } if (genderSelected != true) { window.alert("You must select your gender."); return false; }else return true; } function checkCheck() { var referralSelected = false; for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) { if (document.forms[0].referral[i].checked == true) { referralSelected = true; break; } } if (referralSelected == false) { window.alert("You must select how you were referred"); } return referralSelected; } function validateForm() { if (checkTextBox() && checkRadio() && checkCheck()) return true; else return false; } function confirmReset() { var resetForm = window.confirm("Are you sure you want to reset the form?"); if (resetForm == true) return true; return false; } </script> </head> <body> <h2><b>Form Validation Example</b></h2> <form action="EasyFormProcessor.html" method="get" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; onsubmit = "return validateForm();" onreset="return confirmReset();"> <p><b>Enter your name: </b> <input type="text" name="name" size="50" /></p> <p><strong>Gender:</strong>: <input type="radio" name="gender" onclick="" value="Male" /> Male <input type="radio" name="gender" onclick="" value="Female" />Female</p> <p> <b>Education Level:</b> <input type="checkbox" name="Education" value="Drop Out" />High School Drop Out <input type="checkbox" name="Education" value="High School Diploma or GED" />High School Diploma/GED <input type="checkbox" name="Education" value="College" />College</p> <p> <b>How did you hear about us? <select name="Referral"> <option value="TV Ads">TV Ads</option> <option value="Newspaper Ad">Newspaper Ad</option> <option value="Search Engine">Search Engine</option> <option value="Friend">Friend</option> <option value="other">Other</option> </select> </b> <p> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /><b> </b><input type="reset" /><b><p> |
