JavaScript - Form Validation Problem
Working of JS form validation now, this is my code:
Code: <html> <head> <script> function notEmpty(elem, helperMsg){ if(elem.value.length == 0){ alert(helperMsg); elem.focus(); // set the focus to this input return false; } return true; } </script> </head> <body> <form action="mailto:fonzhende1@yahoo.com" method="post"> <table> <tr> <td>Name:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="name" value="" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>email address:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="email" value="" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <th></th> <td> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </td> </tr> </table> <textarea rows="2" cols="20"> Test area </textarea><br/> <br/> <select> <option value="volvo">Volvo</option> <option value="saab">Saab</option> <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option> <option value="audi">Audi</option> </select><br/> <br/> <input type="radio" name="group1" value="Milk"> Milk<br> <input type="radio" name="group1" value="Butter" checked> Butter<br> </form> </body> </html> Problem is when I submit the form I am getting what you see in the attachment, I guess this email form which pops up needs to be directed to Yahoo Hosting then redirected from there back to me? Anyway I would like if it the email could be sent directly to me without this form popping up, is that possible? Also, when I submit the form with the fields empty I am not getting the error message? Similar Tutorialshi again i hope somebody will help me to fix this problem I have a form which has not submit button but two options either to pay or to just submit so i use this in my code: Code: td><input type="button" value="Payment" onClick="this.form.action='payments.php';this.form.submit()" /> <input type="button" value="More Information" onClick="this.form.action='confirmation.php';this.form.submit()" /></td> so when they click on "Payments" they move to "payments.php and when they click on "More Information" they move to confirmation.php. Now my problem is i wants to validated it either through JavaScript or PHP but there is only one way i know with submit method. here i am using onClick function to move to other page. Please if somebody can help i much appericiate. here is the complete code of form i try to use PHP validation here but no luck please help me Code: <?php if ($_POST['submit']) { $title = $_POST['title']; $name = $_POST['name']; $insurance = $_POST['insurance']; $address = $_POST['address']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $email = $_POST['title']; $error = ""; if (!$title) $error = $error.

One that houses the functions mylibrary.js and another that call the validated functions myform.js. I can not get the form to validate any data. The data just sits there and will not report errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Code: function valForm() { if(!isAlpha(document.myform.firstname.value)) { myform.firstname.focus(); return false; } if(!validEmail(document.myform.email.value)) { myform.email.focus(); return false; } if(!isRequired1(document.myform.options.value)) { myform.options.focus(); return false; } return true; } // JavaScript Document seperate js file mylibrary.js function isNumber(num) { return !(/\D/.test(num)); } function isAlpha(text){ return text.match(/\w+/) } function validEmail(email){ return email.match(/^([a-zA-Z0-9]{3,})(((\.|\-|\_)[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,})+)?@([a-z]{3,})(\-[a-z0-9]{3,})?(\.[a-z]{2,})+$/i ) } function isRequired1(){ if(myform.food.selectedIndex ==0) { alert("Please select from the drop-down list."); } } EDIT: sorry sorry, I just realized I posted this on the wrong place.... {palmface} Just to start off, Javascript is NOT my forte'. Ive been trying to do some form validating for a few hours now. I've tried many different combos and trying multiple functions to make this work but I have seemed to make more of a mess than anything now. Here's what I've got going on... A simple form with 3 text inputs a checkbox and a submit button. I'm trying to do 7 things. 1. strip special characters from all 3 input fields (except : / and @) 2. make sure no input fields are blank 3. verify that email has @ and . in it 4. insure that the checkbox is checked I would love to set the email not to allow certain domains(yahoo,gmail) but that is a bit out of my league. Any help would be appreciated, below is the current garbled mess of javascript I am left with after hours of trying to get it to work... my appologies. I know it's ugly. Code: <script LANGUAGE="Javascript"> <!-- Begin function CleanUp() { name = document.register.name.value; email = document.register.email.value; website = document.register.website.value; var iChars = "!#$%^&*()+=-[]\';,.{}|\"<>?"; //remove crap name for (var i = 0; i < document.register.name.value.length; i++) { if ((iChars.indexOf(document.register.name.charAt(i)) != -1)) { window.alert ("No special characters allowed."); return false; }} //remove crap website for (var i = 0; i < document.register.website.value.length; i++) { if ((iChars.indexOf(document.register.website.charAt(i)) != -1)) { window.alert ("No special characters allowed."); return false; }} //remove crap email for (var i = 0; i < document.register.email.value.length; i++) { if ((iChars.indexOf(document.register.email.charAt(i)) != -1)) { window.alert ("No special characters allowed."); return false; }} //check required field if ((name == "") || (email == "")|| (website == "")) { window.alert("Please enter your Name, website, and E-mail address."); return false; } //verify email if (email.value.indexOf("@", 0) < 0) { window.alert("Please enter a valid e-mail address."); return false; } if (email.value.indexOf(".", 0) < 0) { window.alert("Please enter a valid e-mail address."); return false; } // check agree term before submit if (agree.checked == false ) { alert('Please confirm you are the site owner.'); return false; //done }else return true; } // End --> </script> can anyone help me validate a survey page i have? it has many questions and each question has 5 radio buttons. i followed many guides and none of them worked for me.

On the Request Information page I am using MM_validateForm function and the FormtoEmail.php script. When required fields are blank, you are alerted via pop-up notification when hitting submit. Afterwards though, the form still sends without letting you finish completing required fields. I have noticed that if the First Name field is blank the form will not send, but any other field it just still sends. I have looked this up on Google endlessly and have tried every 'fix'. This is the function: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0 if (document.getElementById){ var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments; for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=document.getElementById(args[i]); if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") { if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@'); if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' Must Contain an Email Address.\n'; } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val); if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' Must Contain a Valid Phone Number.\n'; if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':'); min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1); if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' Must Contain a Number Between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n'; } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' Is Required.\n'; } } if (errors){ alert('Please Complete All Required Fields:\n'+errors); } document.MM_returnValue = (errors ==''); } } //--> This is the form html code: Code: <form action="FormToEmail.php" method="post" name="myform" class="cmxform" id="myform" onsubmit="MM_validateForm('first-name','','R');MM_validateForm('last-name','','R');MM_validateForm('workphone','','RisNum');MM_validateForm('address1','','R');MM_validateForm('city','','R');MM_validateForm('state','','R');MM_validateForm('country','','R');return document.MM_returnValue;"> This is the code on the submit button: Code: <input type="submit" class="buttons" onClick="MM_validateForm('first-name','','R');MM_validateForm('last-name','','R');MM_validateForm('workphone','','RisNum');MM_validateForm('address1','','R');MM_validateForm('city','','R');MM_validateForm('state','','R');MM_validateForm('country','','R');return document.MM_returnValue;" value="Send"/> I may be missing something really obvious but i've gone over this for three days.

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 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;

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

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.

(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.

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.

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 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> 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> Hi all, I am trying to get a form to validate when the submit button is clicked. If I use this method with an <input type="submit"> it works fine, the validation runs and if there are no errors, the form submits: Code: <form name="form" class="form" id="Form" method="post" action="contact/send_email.php" onsubmit="return validate.check(this); "> <label for="Full_Name" accesskey="U">Your Name <span>*</span></label> <input name="Full_Name" type="text" id="Full_Name" /> <label for="Email_Address" accesskey="E">Email <span>*</span></label <input name="Email_Address" type="text" id="Email_Address" /> <label for="Telephone_Number" accesskey="P">Phone <span>*</span></label> <input name="Telephone_Number" type="text" id="Telephone_Number" /> <label for="Your_Message" accesskey="C">Message <span>*</span></label> <textarea name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message"></textarea> <input name="contactus" type="submit" class="submitbutton" id="contactus" value="Send Email" /> <p class="required"><span>*</span><i> denotes required fields.</i></p> </form> However, if i try to use a link to submit the form,the validation will not run: Code: <form name="form" class="form" id="Form" method="post" action="contact/send_email.php" onsubmit="return validate.check(this); "> <label for="Full_Name" accesskey="U">Your Name <span>*</span></label> <input name="Full_Name" type="text" id="Full_Name" /> <label for="Email_Address" accesskey="E">Email <span>*</span></label <input name="Email_Address" type="text" id="Email_Address" /> <label for="Telephone_Number" accesskey="P">Phone <span>*</span></label> <input name="Telephone_Number" type="text" id="Telephone_Number" /> <label for="Your_Message" accesskey="C">Message <span>*</span></label> <textarea name="Your_Message" id="Your_Message"></textarea> <div class="btns"><a href="#" class="button1" onclick="document.form.submit();return false;">Send Email</a></div> <p class="required"><span>*</span><i> denotes required fields.</i></p> </form> I'm very new to js so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Chris I need a code so when a user clicks the 'Send!' button, the information on the form is sent to an e-mail address. I'm not entirely sure on the best method to do this, if you have any ideas that'd be great VALIDATION: Validation checks need to be carried out on the onClick event of the 'send' command button. E-mail field: Standard e-mail validation needed, so it must include a @ and a . in order to be accepted. Query field: Must contain some text. No limit or minimum requirement. The reply check box doesn't need any validation, but if it's checked, the email that gets sent needs to have an indication of this. Thanks for any help I am trying to create a form and validate it so that when the user enters their details, it doesn't let them confirm if the details are not filled out or incorrect. I am trying to use document.getElementById and labels, so instead of alerts appearing, a label appears next to the field that is required. I also am trying to validate the email to make sure the '@' and the '.' is in the right place.
Hello everyone, I found a form on this page http://sbpoley.home.xs4all.nl/webmatters/formval.html and I want to make something like that.. could someone please tell me the javascript code this. it doesnt have to be the entire code. just one texfield so I can see how it's done. I want to make a form where it validates while the user is entering the information... just like that example. thanks! |
