JavaScript - Urgent Help With Form Validation
Hi,
Can anyone spot a problem with the below code: PHP Code: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function CheckForm (f) {var dp; //pass in the form if (f.removethis && f.removethis.value) { //there is something to remove var rem = f.removethis.value; f.removethis.value=''; //reset this element var cf = confirm ('Are you sure you wish to remove this ' + rem + '?'); if (cf && (dp=document.getElementById('removebox'))) dp.style.visibility='visible'; return cf; } else { //this is a check form rather than a removal var s="" var d="" if(f['title']) {var sl=f['title']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'title, ';}} if(f['firstname'] && !f['firstname'].value) {s += 'first name, ';} if(f['lastname'] && !f['lastname'].value) {s += 'surname, ';} if(f['jobtitle'] && !f['jobtitle'].value) {s += 'job title, ';} if(f['company'] && !f['company'].value) {s += 'organisation, ';} if(f['address1'] && !f['address1'].value) {s += 'address, ';} if(f['city'] && !f['city'].value) {s += 'town, ';} if(f['postcode'] && !f['postcode'].value) {s += 'postcode, ';} if(f['country']) {var sl=f['country']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'country, ';}} if(f['tel'] && !f['tel'].value) {s += 'telephone, ';} if(f['email'] && !f['email'].value) {s += 'email, ';} if(f['position']) {var sl=f['position']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'position, ';}} if(f['Make']) {var sl=f['Make']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'marketing source, ';}} if(f['marketingsource']) {var sl=f['marketingsource']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'marketing source details, ';}} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "07 - Advert - Other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "15 - Direct mail - Other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "23 - General - other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "40 - Email - Other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "60 - Website - Other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if ((f['marketingsource'].value == "70 - Social media - Other") && (f['marketingsourceother'] && !f['marketingsourceother'].value)) {s += 'Marketing source other, ';} if(f['position']) {var sl=f['position']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'Position, ';}} if ((f['position'].value == "115 - Other (please specify)") && (f['positionother'] && !f['positionother'].value)) {s += 'Position other, ';} if ((f['interestsother'] && !f['interestsother'].value) && (f['interests[]'])) {var ch=0;for(var i=0;i<f.elements.length;i++){if(f.elements[i].name=='interests[]'&&f.elements[i].checked){ch++;}}if(ch==0) {s += 'main area(s) of interest, ';}} if(f['industry']) {var sl=f['industry']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'business sector, ';}} if ((f['industry'].value == "132 - Other (please specify)") && (f['industryother'] && !f['industryother'].value)) {s += 'business sector other, ';} if(f['budget']) {var sl=f['budget']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'training budget, ';}} if(f['employees']) {var sl=f['employees']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'number of employees, ';}} if(f['interested']) {var sl=f['interested']; var sls=0;if(sl.options[sl.selectedIndex].value) {sls++;}if(sls==0) {s += 'interested in exhibiting, ';}} var parts1 = GetNumber(f,"delegates_M1") + GetNumber(f,"delegates_M2"); var parts2 = GetNumber(f,"delegates_A1") + GetNumber(f,"delegates_A2"); var parts3 = GetNumber(f,"delegates_M3") + GetNumber(f,"delegates_M4"); var parts4 = GetNumber(f,"delegates_A4") + GetNumber(f,"delegates_A5"); //check if they've got the same number of seminars (added 23/8/2006 at Sarah's request) if (parts1 != parts2) {d += 'You must select the same number of seminars for the morning and afternoon on day 1.

';} if (d) {alert (d);} else if (s) {alert ('Please fill in the ' + s + 'then resubmit.');} else if (dp=document.getElementById('phpaulsavebox')) dp.style.visibility='visible'; return d ? false : true; return s ? false : true; } //checking the form } //end of check form function </script> Currently if parts 1 or 2, or parts 3 or 4 don't match, the form works correctly. You receive the alert 'You must select the same number of seminars for the morning and afternoon on day X', and the form stops. However, if you select the same amount of numbers for this section of the form, but do not complete e.g. 'first name', you receive the alert 'Please fill in the first name then resubmit', but then when you 'OK' the alert the form submits anyway. Any help? I need to get this sorted this morning. Many thanks, Sam Similar TutorialsHi all! I have a form which has some checkboxes and the name of every checkbox is email_(a counting number) . Lets say I have no access to the counting number because it is changed every time the page reloads. How can i create a script to return how many email_ checkboxes is in the form? Code: <script> // here i want a script to count how many checkboxes is in the form. // </script> <form> <script> counter = 2 // I dont have access to this number because it is changing every time I reload the page. for(i=0;i<counter;i++) { test.innerHTML += "<input type='checkbox' value='' name='email_"+i+"'>"; } </script> <div id="test"></div> </form> please help! Hi , I have 4 input form fields and when user enters data in any number of fields like he enter data in 2 fields and left 2 fields blank like(123, ,456, ,), i need to check on blur event so that it has to check for empty fields and once empty fields exits then it has to sort out all the data presented fields and then placed back to input fields like (456,123, , ,). i am new to java script and i have no idea how to implement this , please help me thanks. <input type="text" name="itemMod1_1" size="5" maxlength="5" class="mono" > <input type="text" name="itemMod2_1" size="5" maxlength="5" class="mono" > <input type="text" name="itemMod3_1" size="5" maxlength="5" class="mono" > <input type="text" name="itemMod4_1" size="5" maxlength="5" class="mono" > 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;

(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.

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 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 ?

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> I'm a PHP programmer, and am relatively new to Javascript. I'm validating a form, and need a bit of help. I need to validate content in an input field, whose content is generally similiar to this: abc, defsadsdf, asdfsd, sadfsd I need to be confirm that there are atleast 3 items in the field, that are separated by comments (as shown). Also, the items cannot be less than 3 chars. So if the field was: a, asdfsd, asdfds, asdfsd This would return an error. Or if the field was: asdf, adsfsdfd This would also return an error. (because there are only two items) In addition, the items themselves can have spaces within. Also, the items dont have to have spaces next to the commas. So for example, this would be a valid input and not return an error: santa claus,frank,george bush,Joe So basically it would be something along the lines of splitting it by the comma, trimming the data, then looping through. I know how to write the code to get to where the text is validated, I just don't know how to validate the string to the specifications I've listed above. I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks for your time. I'm using code at the bottom of this post for form validation. It works well to test that every field is not empty. BUT, I'm trying to prohibit email addresses in the description field. When I use this... Code: else if ( document.add_form.description.value =~ "@" ) ...the script sends up an alert, but then the content in the description field is completely erased and replaced with a "-1" which forces people to lose what they entered. How can I simply put up an alert that leaves the content in the description field? Here's the full code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function validate_form ( ) { valid = true; if ( document.add_form.title.value == "" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'Title' field." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.description.value == "" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'Description' field." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.description.value =~ "@" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'Description' field." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.address1.value == "" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'Address' field." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.city.value == "" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'City' field." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.state.selectedIndex == 0 ) { alert ( "Please select a State." ); valid = false; } else if ( document.add_form.zip.value == "" ) { alert ( "Please fill in the 'Zip Code' field." ); valid = false; } return valid; } //--> </script> Thanks! 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; } So, I've tried to get this working but i'm stumped. I'm trying to write some form validation... see below Code: function validateForm() { var x=document.forms["useraccount"]["firstname"].value if (x==null || x=="") { document.getElementById("errorfirstname").innerHTML="enter first name"; return false; } else { document.getElementById("errorfirstname").innerHTML=""; } var x=document.forms["useraccount"]["lastname"].value if (x==null || x=="") { document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML="enter last name"; return false; } else { document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML=""; } } and then in my html i have <div id="errorfirstname"></div> <div id="errorlastname"></div> etc.. and onsubmit="validateform()" in the form. It sort of works.. it shows the errors if i submit the form with empty fields, but then if i enter data into them, the only the 'first name' field will make my error message disappear. for the 'last name', once the error message appears.. (ie, enter last name') it will not clear the message (as it should with document.getElementById("errorlastname").innerHTML="" any help would be great. thanks. 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> For my class activity(home work) I need validate a form which has several fields. I have created the form (html) and wrote some codes for validation. I want all my form fields display help text when they get focused and when the user enter invalid data display error text(not alert). All my help text are working. but error text are not. I wrote on focus and on blur events and functions for each field. But every time I preview it on IE I am getting "object expected error" I carefully checked all the element Id and those are okay. Please help me. function myFocusHandler(e) { var newClassName; var eventTarget; if (e.target) { eventTarget = e.target; } else if (e.srcElement) { eventTarget = e.srcElement; } else { eventTarget = window.event.srcElement; } if (e.type == "focus" ) { newClassName = "helpshow"; eventTarget.className = 'inputfocus'; } else if (e.type == "blur" ) { newClassName = "helphide"; eventTarget.className = 'inputblur'; } var relatedSpansId = eventTarget.id + "help"; document.getElementById(relatedSpansId).className = newClassName; } function errorshow(elementId) { var relatedSpansId = elementId + "error"; document.getElementById(relatedSpansId).className = "errorshow"; function hideError(elementId) { var relatedSpansId= elementId + "error"; document.getElementById(relatedSpansId).className = "errorhide"; } function validateAllFields() { var isemailOK = false; var isformValid = true; var email=document.getElementById("email"); IsemailOK=IsemailValid(); if (IsemailOK == false) { formIsValid = false; errorshow("email"); } else { errorhide("email"); } return formIsValid; } function isemailValid() { var emailIsValid=false; var emailElement; var emailValue; emailElement = document.getElementById("email"); emailValue = emailElement.value; if (emaiValue== "/^[0-9A-Za-z\.\-_]+@([0-9A-Za-z\-_]+\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,}$/") { emailIsValid=true; }else{ emailIsValid=false; } return emailIsValid; function validateemail(event) { myFocusHnadler(event); var isemailOK = false; isemailOK=isemailValid(); if(emailOK == false) { errorshow("email"); }else{ erroehide("email"); } } Hello guys, I am working on my form page. Everything is working fine except one problem that I have...On my form, if I put nothing on the textboxes or choose no radio buttons, it suppose to say warning messages right next to it when I push the submit button. Also those warning messages supposed to be show up all at the same time. However, one of my warning messages for radio button don't show up. It only shows up when the other fieldset radio button is selected. And here is my code for html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta name="author" content="" /> <meta name="description" content="forms" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Client Side Programming, JavaScript, CSS" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="javascript.css"/> <script type="text/javascript" src="CSP.js"></script> <title>Forms::</title> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <!-- Begin web page --> <div id="header"><!-- Header and Navigation --> <!-- Page Heading --><!-- Navigation --> <script type="text/javascript"> displayHeader(); </script> <br/><br/> </div> <div id="content"> <!-- Main Content --> <h1>Photo Gallery: Ordering Form</h1><div id="orderForm"> <script type="text/javascript"> displayPhoto(); </script> <div id="photoName"><p>               City                                                         Night</p> </div> <form id="frmCourse" method="get" action="ErrorMessage_FormProcessor.htm" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" onsubmit= "return validate();"> // this is calling the function in my js file <fieldset> <legend>Customer Information</legend> <!-- Name Input --><div class=nameWrapper> <p><label for="txtName" id="lblName">Name: </label> <input type="text" name="txtName" id="txtName" accesskey="N" tabindex="0" value="" /> <label class="errorMessage" id="errMessageName">* Required Field</label></p> <!-- Email --> <p><label for="txtEmail" id="lblEmail">Email: </label> <input type="text" name="txtEmail" id="txtEmail" accesskey="E" tabindex="1" value="" /> <label class="errorMessage" id="errMessageEmail">* Required Field</label></p></div> </fieldset><br/> <fieldset> <legend>Select Image</legend> <!-- Order Option --> <p><label for="rdImageOne" id="rdImageOne">City</label> <input type="radio" name="rdImageOne" id="rdImageOne" accesskey="C" tabindex="2" value="" /> <label for="rdImageTwo" id="rdImageTwo">Night</label> <input type="radio" name="rdImageOne" id="rdImageTwo" accesskey="N" tabindex="3" value="" /> <label class="errorMessage" id="errMessageImageTwo">* Select an Image</label></p> </fieldset><br/> <fieldset> <legend>Order Information</legend> <!-- Size Option --> <p><label for="rdoptionOne" id="rdoptionOne">4-Wallets ($10)</label> <input type="radio" name="rdoption" id="rdoptionOne" accesskey="O" tabindex="4" value="" /> <label for="rdoptionTwo" id="rdoptionTwo">8X10 ($20)</label> <input type="radio" name="rdoption" id="rdoptionTwo" accesskey="T" tabindex="5" value="" /> <label class="errorMessage" id="errMessageOptionTwo">* Select a size</label></p> <p><label for="rdoptionThree" id="rdoptionThree">2-4X6 ($10)</label> <input type="radio" name="rdoption" id="rdoptionThree" accesskey="H" tabindex="6" value="" /> <label for="rdoptionFour" id="rdoptionFour">11X14 ($30)</label> <input type="radio" name="rdoption" id="rdoptionFour" accesskey="F" tabindex="7" value="" /></p> <p><label for="rdoptionOne" id="rdoptionOne">5X7 ($10)</label> <input type="radio" name="rdoption" id="rdoptionFive" accesskey="I" tabindex="8" value="" /></p> <p><label for="txtQuantity" id="lblQuantity">Quantity: </label> <input type="text" name="txtQuantity" id="txtQuantity" accesskey="X" tabindex="9" value="" /> <label class="errorMessage" id="errMessageQuantity">* Must Be 1-25</label></p> <!-- Submit Buttons --> <p><div class="submitWrapper"><input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="Prepare Order" align = "center" accesskey="s" tabindex="10" /></p> </div> </fieldset><br/> </form></div> <div id="footer"> <!-- Footer --> <!-- Begin Footer Div--> <script type="text/javascript">displayFooter();</script> <!-- End Footer Div --> </div> <!--End web page --> </div> </body> </html> And here is a code for my js file.
