View 3 Repliesit seems that the only way to get access to mouse position is via predefined events: mouseover, etc, where the mouse-position/object-beneath-mouse is stored in some properties of the event object such as clientX/target;
these properties are only accessible to me, the web developer, via the event object generated for the event;
so the problem is: what happens if none of the pre-defined events suit me?
specifically - all of the pre-defined events depend on user interaction: onmousemove, onfocus, onscroll, etc;
so if I do not have a user-interaction at some moment but yet still need mouse-position/object-beneath-mouse information I am out of luck ...
UNLESS I know how the event objects gather that info themselves;
for instance, onmouseover -- how does some <div> know that the mouse just moved over it?
I presume that on some internal clock scale, a time_A_mouse_pos is compared to a time_B_mouse_pos; and furthermore all objects in the document are queried at each time_N until some object says "hey, browser, I am located at that position";
so I would like to know how to access this internal communication between the mouse and the document that apparently the 'event' object accesses whenever an event is generated;
I have a form with multiple fieldsets which are visible conditionally. There are three submit buttons "Abandon", "Save" and "Save & Continue". Each button should validate specific controls of the form and submit it. I tried setting "onsubmit: false" and checking for "$('#myForm').valid ()" on click of these buttons., but that validates all controls of the form.

How can I stop the page from refreshing when validation fails? I have return false in my code when validation fails but still having same problem. Currently I have only done the validation for the full name only. The error msg is showed in:

This is in regards to Jrn Zaefferer's plug in.How do you customize input validation so that I can remove foullanguage?So that first name or last name doesn't have "fck you" or something
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Validation plugin for JQuery and was wondering if there was a function to submit the form without causing it to validate the form. I have a table with a list of radio-buttons and above that is a drop down list of states. The drop down list of states is used to filter the table rows and when the selected item changes it posts-back to the server (via $("#frm").submit()). I don't want this to cause any validation to occur. Is there another function I can call besides submit(), or some other method?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to validate two forms containing multiple input fields but want just one error message if any of the fields are left blank, the page is required to submit the users details (registration form). Also if any of these fields are left blank i don't want to be able to go to the next page on clicking the submit button
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Having a few problems with a form validation script. Its supposed to stop sending the form if key fields are missing, but it just sends them anyway!
Below is the code i use in the header to check for blank fields:
Code:
And now the code i use to action it:
Code:
From what i can see the fields match, it all links up correctly but still it will allow blank forms to be sent.
I'm having trouble changing the font color of my labels ONLY when I stop the form from submitting due to blank fields. I'm not sure whether if just changing my CSS will achieve what I want, or am I going to have to add somethig to my if else statement, or both? I would think I would need to change CSS to :
label.onfocus {
color:red;
}
but a little confused on what else.

I have a working contact form with 3 of the fields requiring validation and they work well. I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them. My problem is that the new fields don't show in the behaviours/validate panel even though they are within the form tag.
<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}

I currently have a form named "survey". I found here a JavaScript to validate my form.
I am having serious issues with this script, either it won't execute at all (the form doesn't work, as well as the validation) or the form submits without validating the form.
Here is the current JavaScript I am using.

Code:
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.

I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (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. just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok.[code]
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a multistep jquery form that validates user input and then should send me an email. 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 HTML code is in the second post in this thread (it was just too much to fit in one go).

I have created my second Form to File Web Form 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:[code]

Is it because of "its a question" so it didn't get published? where can i retrieve my question? cause it's not in the "My Account" page. it's kind of long and i didn't keep a copy for record Sorry for posting such a newbie question as "start a discussion".
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a web form with several fields. If I copy & paste from a RTF document into a field, the javascript validation and field length are bypassed and cause the form to fail.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to loop through all the elements in a form so as to check their values in order to validate the relevant fields, i thought i could get the number of form objects within the form using "formName.length." Then use a loop to go through all the form fields.
It seems formName.length is not working for me ... it's returning "undefined" or "0" values. How could i get the number of form objects within a certain form. Code:
I have a text field that I wish to cellect numbers of bird seen. However,
some folk want to use 'c' before the number or '+' after to indicate a fuzzy
number. I have tried creating a function that checks for each of these and
still validates the rest as a number: Code:
I've been playing with this form validation method for a while and have
tried an array of things but haven't had any luck with a couple items.
1. The validateForm() function doesn't detect when the Min price is
greater than the maximum price.
2. The validateForm() function doesn't call isNumber() on the minBaths,
maxBaths, minBeds, or maxBeds.
3. Despite errors in input and the validateForm() function returning
false, the form is still submitted.
Here's the code:
I'm using the JQuery Form Validation plugin which, BTW is working great.
I have a web site URL input field that my client wants to have the "http://" already included.
He's complaining that most users input their site url beginning with "www." instead of the full URL.
How would I go about doing that?
My idea is to have a fully AJAX based form that will validate the input, then via AJAX post it, and accordingly to the AJAX response display some messages (no full postback). I have no problem with the AJAX itself, the only issue I face is that my 'form' is not actually a <form> - it is a simple <div> with some textboxes (I am using Asp, and using forms is not so easy here, sine you can not have nested forms).Unfortunately the jQuery validation (http:[url].....) does not work for <div>. Is there any way to use jQuery validation without having to use <form> tag?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am beginner inthe programming , & I am trying to apply validation for different fields of a form, so that a user can get alert messages instantly at the time of mistake as if any form fields are empty or any Invalid values are entered.

I am doing form validation at college just now. The lecturer gave all of us this following example. But it doesn't seem to work in firefox. I have tried my own scripts and they seem to work so have no idea whats happening!

<title>Javascript validation program - limits field length and content</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateForm(){
var msg='';
if(document.getElementById('CC').value==''){
msg+='- Please enter CC

I am having trouble submitting a form after validation.
Here is my script.
The validation works fine its just that after the form does not submit.
