JavaScript - Javascript Form Validation On Submit
I have a simple form and am validating onchange and need a final validation onsubmit. I am displaying a message to the right of the inputbox on error.
I'm trying to keep this at DOM 1 compatible and not use any framework. HTML Code: <form id = "myForm" action = "" onsubmit = "return validateForm(this);"> <table class = "table-submit" border = "0"> <tr> <td> Username: </td> <td> <input type = "text" id = "username" size = "30" maxlength = "30" onchange = "validateUsername(this, 'msgUsername')" /> </td> <td id = "msgUsername"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Password: </td> <td> <input type = "password" id = "password" size = "30" maxlength = "30" onchange = "validatePassword(this, 'msgPassword')" /> </td> <td id = "msgPassword"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <input type = "submit" value = "Submit" /> <input type = "reset" value = "Clear" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> JavaScript Code: function validateUsername(myItem, myElement) { var dom = document.getElementById(myElement); if (myItem.value.length < 3) { dom.innerHTML = " Username needs to be a minimum of 3 characters! "; return false; } else { dom.innerHTML = ""; return true; } } function validatePassword(myItem, myElement) { var dom = document.getElementById(myElement); if (myItem.value.length < 5) { dom.innerHTML = " Password needs to be a minimum of 5 characters! "; return false; } else { dom.innerHTML = ""; return true; } } function validateForm (itm) { // kind of stuck here... } As you may of noticed, I am a bit stuck on my validateForm() function. The code validates on each inputbox onchange event. Not sure what is the best way to go from here. I thought about doing an If for my both single input box validation, but I would need to send each parameters which is what i was trying to avoid by using this. Would like some suggestions. Similar TutorialsI'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 am basically creating an edit screen for a record. No I want to check all these input elements using javascript validation. I want this to performed when a button "Archive" is pressed. My problem is this "Archive button" needs to be a submit button. This does run the javascript validation but after completing the validation it submits the form. I want that submission should be stopped when the validation is violated. how can I do this? What I want is a button which acts as a default button (triggers the onclick event when I press enter) but submits only if the form is valid. Trying to create an eBay listing template with a form on it. The form will allow the buyer to enter in their ebay ID, item number, and 3 choices. Form is complete, using this javascript for validation: Code: <SCRIPT language=javascript> function validate(){ var ebayid= document.getElementById('ebayid').value; var itemnumber= document.getElementById('itemnumber').value; var choice1= document.getElementById('choice1').value; var choice2= document.getElementById('choice2').value; var choice3= document.getElementById('choice3').value; if (!ebayid){ alert('Ebayid is required!'); document.getElementById('ebayid').focus(); return false; } if (!itemnumber){ alert('Item Number is required!'); document.getElementById('itemnumber').focus(); return false; } if (!choice1){ alert('Choice 1 is required!'); document.getElementById('choice1').focus(); return false; } if (!choice2){ alert('Choice 2 is required!'); return false; } if (!choice3){ alert('Choice 3 is required!'); return false; } return true; } </SCRIPT> I like this because it gives a pop up alert box (with definition) if a field is left empty. Upon success though the user is redirected off the page to a success page. I was told that this has to happen because the .php for the form to work is hosted on my site and the user needs to be redirected to my site in order for the form to work. Since this is the case, I was told I could use javascript to open up a separate window for this to happen, thus allowing the buyer to stay on the eBay listing (and to stay compliant with eBay's html/javascript policy). I have pieced together code from numerous forums to actually do this but there is one flaw. Code: <form action="http://www.mysite.com/test.php" method="post" name="testform" id="testform" onsubmit="window.open('', 'success', 'width=450,height=300,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'); javascript:return validate();" rel="nofollow" target="success"/> This code not only opens a new window but it opens the new window on any click to the submit button, even if the validation fails. How do I write this so that the new window is only opened when the validation completes all true and not when the validation returns an error/alert box? Additionally... how do I add to the javascript so that the field "ebayid" requires 6 characters and the "itemnumber" requires 12 numbers? I would also like for the form itself to erase after a successful submission to prevent the user from hitting the submit button 100's of times spamming me with email (if it's possible) Thanks Kemble Hi guys, Been stuck for a few days with this scenario. Any help? The alert box appears on an error. But the submitting won't stop. The details are submitted and the form is processed. Any help is greatly appreciated...

Is it possible to have the form submit and return a thank you message on the same page. basically submit the form without reloading. I am not familiar with javascript only html, but I have researched this problem and found some solutions, but I am unsure what to do with them. I have an html checkbox form that lists book titles. The user will click on the checkbox next to the titles that interest them. Then when they click submit, I want a pop-up box to appear with the titles they selected in a printable list. I found this javascript code: Code: <script langauge="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function openPreview() { var myWin = window.open ("popup.htm","myWindowName","width=500,height=350"); myWin.focus(); } </script> Then here is my html form code: Code: <form action="" form id= "myInput"> <table width="523"> <tr><td width="33"> <input type="checkbox" name="product" value="Ironman"></td> <td width="229"><div align="left">Ironman</div></td> <td width="174">Chris Crutcher </td> <td width="56" align="right"> </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="checkbox" name="product" value="Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes"> <th><div align="left">Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes </div></th> <td>Chris Crutcher </td> <td align="right"><tt>Realism</tt></td> </tr> <tr><td><input type="checkbox" name="product" value="The Watsons Go to Birmingham"> <th><div align="left">The Watsons Go to Birmingham </div></th> <td>Chrisopher Paul Curtis </td> <td align="right"> </td> </tr> </table> <input type="button" id="btnPreview" name="btnPreview" value="Preview" onclick="openPreview()" /> </form> Then on the popup.htm page I have this code Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> document.write(window.opener.document.getElementById("myInput").value); </script> This code has worked for me when the form is a textarea or a label, but I don't know how to use it with a checkbox form. I know that labeling the form "my input" only works for textarea or labels, so I understand why the pop-up menu says undefined. What do I need to do to get the checkbox data to appear. I have problem with my javascript form validation... Validation works only on last question and I can't understand why it doesn't work on other questions..

And how to solve it to make javascript validation work properly? Hello, I am using the following javascript to validate a text field on my site: Code: function checkExpire(form) { // regular expression to match required date format re = /^\d{1,2}\/\d{1,2}\/\d{4}$/; if(form.txtExpire.value != '' && !form.txtExpire.value.match(re)) { alert("Invalid date format: " + form.txtExpire.value); form.txtExpire.focus(); return false; } return true; } The above code works fine for the following situations: The default value of the field is: __/__/____ The JavaScript code above will not accept that for a field value. If a user inputs the following for a date 5_/7_/11__ for May 7th, 2011 the JavaScript will not accept the format it must be entered as: 05/07/2011 (in order to clear the validation)... NOW HERE IS WHAT I NEED THE JAVASCRIPT TO DO: 1) It needs to accept __/__/____ as a value that can be inserted into the database 2) still retains the code above so 5_/7_/11__ is not an acceptable date but 05/07/2011 will work just fine 3) Now... the default value of the text field in Internet Explorer is __/__/____ but the value is blank in Mozilla Firefox so in an instance where the text field is completely blank I need the JavaScript to assign the value '__/__/____' ... SO FAR: I did at one point get both the validation working so it worked for rules 1 and 2 mentioned above but I completely destroyed it while trying to integrate rule 3 into the functionality. So I know this can be accomplished with a series of if / else statements as well as assigning a value to a form object to handle rule# 3 ... I am just a novice getting ready to turn intermediate in JavaScript so any help, guidance, reference or example / sample code you could give me would be much appreciated. Thank your for your assitance and I hope you are all doing well. Cordially, aRK I have a form developed in Dreamweaver CS5 using Spry Assets, I have 2 required fields in the form.

Hi Guys, I have trying to validate my form using JavaScript. On blur of the a text box I am calling a function in JavaScript which checks if the text box is empty or not.... If the text box is empty it display an appropriate error message. The issue I am facing is that, for the first time if any user does not enter any value in the text box, the JS function is invoked and an appropriate error message is displayed.... So when the user tried to enter a value in the text box, a drop down list appear from the past forms data. (The drop down value appear because the user has already filled in the form in the past. Hence the Browser remember the data filed in, and displays it as a drop down list.) This allows the user to select any values from the drop down list to fill in the box.* After the user has selected the appropriate value from the drop down and takes its mouse cursor and navigates to another text box in the form, the first error message does not disappear. The form does not recognize that the value filed has already been filled in the first filed.* If the user actually types into the field it recognizes that the text box has a filed is filled. Please may I know how to solve this issue. Hi there! Could somebody please help me understand why this javascript isn't executing? I've been stuck with it for days and have researched the problem to death to no avail.

Hi i need help with an assignment that validates forms using javascript. Using my instructors example as a guide, i wrote this if you click submit on the example it properly returns false and displays an error message, in my assignment it does nothing but submit to the echo while im trying to get an error message. The assignment is unfinished but i wanted to test out the first bit of code and its not working. I have a form validation script that runs perfect. Now i want to add one more field to the form and want to make some fields "required" but i dont know how to do this. Please help me. I am also attaching the relevant files. Thanks in advance.

First question are radio buttons with 3 answers (name=answer). Second is a questions with a numeric value as answer with max 10 characters (name=questionb). Could anyone tell me where to start? Thanks, Walter Is there a way to stop a form submit after hitting submit? Refresh wouldn't realy be an option. Is abort() what I'm looking for?
I have two password fields on a webpage form. If the passwords don't match, I want to display a message. I could use a popup, I could redirect to a page containing the message with another redirect back to the form or, the option I'd like to use, have a hidden table cell in the form containing the message that displays should the form be submitted without matching passwords. If I use the latter, where do I call the javascript function to display the hidden table cell? So in effect, only javascript function would execute if the passwords don't match, the action page itself shouldn't load at all. Can/should this be done on the action page?
I want to use Javascript to submit a form - without filling the form in physically Is this possible? Let's say a web page has a form that submit First Name and Last Name to the next page Instead of filling in the form and hitting submit, can I submit the data in variables and call the next page somehow using Javascript? Thanks OM My html form code is <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="2.js"></script> </head> <body> <h1 id="remain"></h1> <form action="3.php" method="post" id="form1" name="form1"> <input type="text" name="id"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </form> </body> </html> I need to submit the form after coundown.Here is my countdown script file window.onload=counter; function counter() { var seconds = 5; countDown(); function countDown() { document.getElementById("remain").innerHTML=seconds; if(seconds>0) { seconds=seconds - 1; setTimeout(countDown,1000); } if(seconds == 0) { document.form1.submit(); } } } Countdown is working but form does not submit after countdown.Please help me regarding this.Thanks in advance Below is some code I wrote for my assignment that is due tonight; however, I can't seem to get any of the validation features to work. Can someone help me? I'm really new to javascript and struggling through it, but really want to figure this out. Here are the things I'm trying to do: -Validate each textbox to make sure they aren't empty -Validate one textbox to make sure that the text entered is numeric only -Validate the two email addresses for proper email format -Validate the two email addresses to make sure they are exactly alike -Show all of your errors at once, in one alert box, not individually. -Only check for matching emails if the first is valid. Here is my attempt at the code: [CODE] <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- Hide from older browsers var ProductInquiryForm; function Validate( ProductInquiryForm ) { formName = ProductInquiryForm; } function ValidEmail( EmailSearch ) { var txtEmail = EmailSearch.value; var intAtSign = txtEmail.indexOf("@"); var intLastDot = txtEmail.lastIndexOf("."); if( txtEmail == "" || txtEmail == null ) { return false; } if( intAtSign == -1 || intLastDot == -1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot < intAtSign ) { return false; } if( intLastDot - intAtSign == 1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot >= txtEmail.length-2 ) { return false; } else { return true; } } function ValidEmail( ConfirmEmailSearch ) { var txtEmail = ConfirmEmailSearch.value; var intAtSign = txtEmail.indexOf("@"); var intLastDot = txtEmail.lastIndexOf("."); if( txtEmail == "" || txtEmail == null ) { return false; } if( intAtSign == -1 || intLastDot == -1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot < intAtSign ) { return false; } if( intLastDot - intAtSign == 1 ) { return false; } if( intLastDot >= txtEmail.length-2 ) { return false; } if (EmailSearch!= ConfirmEmailSearch) { return false; } else { return true; } } function ApprovedEmail ( ConfirmEmailSearch ) { if( HasText(EmailSearch) && ValidEmail(EmailSearch) && HasText(ConfirmEmailSearch) && ValidEmail(ConfirmEmailSearch)) { return true; } else { alert("A valid email must be entered and match in both fields!"); return false; } } function validateZIP(ZIPSearch) { if( ZIPSearch.value != 0||1||2||3||4||5||6||7||8||9) { alert("Please enter digits only for the ZIP code."); return false; } if (field.length!=5) { alert("Please enter no more than 5 digits for your ZIP code."); return false; } function HasText( ProductSearchDescription ) { if( ProductSearchDescription.value.length != 0 ) { return true; } else { alert("Please enter your product needs."); return false; } } // Stop hiding --> </script> <noscript> This site uses JavaScript code for validation and calculations based on user input. </noscript> <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="intercept-searchform.asp" onsubmit="return Validate(this)"> <div> <label for="EmailSearch">Email Address:</label> <input name="EmailSearch" type="text" class="TextBox" id="EmailSearch" /> </div> <div> <label for="ConfirmEmailSearch">Confirm Email Address:</label> <input name="ConfirmEmailSearch" type="text" class="TextBox" id="ConfirmEmailSearch" /> </div> <div> <label for="ZIPSearch">ZIP Code</label> <input name="ZIPSearch" type="zip" class="zip" id="zip" /> </div> <div> <label for="ProductSearchDescription">Describe the product you are looking for.</label> <textarea name="ProductSearchDescription" id="ProductSearchDescription" class= "Comments" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea> </div> <br /> <div id="buttons"> <input name="Submit" type="Submit" value="Submit" /> <input name="Reset" type="Reset" /> </div> </form> [CODE] Thank you so much to anyone willing to help give me some guidance! |
