Contact Form Error Checking & Validation?
Oct 29, 2010
I'm currently learning many web programming languages and figured this would be a good way to learn more and do things better. I have been working on a contact form for my website. I had originally did the error checking in PHP, but I would like to change it to JaveScript since this is the preferred way. I have it all semi working,It seems like I have some unnecessary variables and such.. I would like to clean it all up as best as possible.

I made a contact form for my website originally in PHP. I wanted to change it to JavaScript because that is the preferred way. Originally I had the form in my HTML file using a separate PHP file for error checking. For JavaScript do I have to make a separate page and call to it like the last time? I have put it all on my HTML page and where it was calling for the php page, I also put the JavaScript code. When I go to my site, the error checking is not working at all. There must be something wrong, but I haven't been able to point it out and I am very new to JavaScript. Also, when I go to my page and right click for the source code, the JavaScript I have in there does not show up. Below is my HTML code.
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL]">
<html xmlns="[URL]">
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />
<title>Contact_Form</title>
</head>
<body> .....

You can see that when selecting 'Contact' from the top navigation a light-box (fancybox) with a contact form opens, this form can be filled and when the submit button is pressed the content of the form is emailed to myself. However.... The 'Thank you message' is not appearing in the light-box as I would like it to and I cannot work out how to do this.

I am trying to display validation error messages when form validation fails. Currently it does display the error messages but then disappears straight away. 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:

I'm using Firefox with the Firebug add-on and whenever I load my test page with the contact form, I receive this error message in Firebug:
$(form).getElementsByTagName is not a function
getElements([])prototype.js (line 1799)
initialize("contact_form", Object immediate=true)validation.js (line 88)
create()
I've got this to work before on other sites, but for some reason it's not working on this site and I just don't know why and I don't understand what the error is telling me.

I'm using the validation plugin and tries to get the invalid errors to appear like I want to. If the form isn't valid, I would like to change the invalid elements placeholder text to a different color. That's it. I don't want to show any message somewhere. Is this possible? How?

I have managed to create a very basic form validation script that I can retrospectively add into current forms with the least effort.
As far as the validation goes I am sure that the script is not pretty, but it does work. However, I have failed to manage to get it to return the focus to the first field that errors.
My abortive attempts are not included in the attached script because I have tried and failed with many different attempts that I have confused myself. I would appreciate any advice that could point me in the right direction to place the focus in the first error field found. Code:

I'm using the form validation and it's working great. But the form reset button, although it clears the form fields, does not clear the errors. My page header has this code so far:
[Code]....
I'm trying to understand how to implement the following in order for the reset button to do that:
var validator = $("#myform").validate();
validator.resetForm();
I'm not an experienced JS person but have a lot of other programming experience (vb, vba, mssql, delphi).

I have a form where a user can upload a file. I do a check to see if it's a zip file. If it isn't then its supposed to stop the file from being uploaded. Only thing is, the file still uploads regardless of getting the error or not.
How can I prevent the form from submitting the file if the error pops up?[code]...

What is happening is when I try to submit the form, I receive an error that says I need to input all data in the proper format.
<html><head>
<title>Conference Registration Form</title>
<link href="conf.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type = "text/javascript">
Calculate total registration fee
Retrieve the value of the selected index property from guests selection lists
Multiply the selected index by 30 and add this to the cost variable
If the first member radio button is checked subtract 25 from the value of the cost variable
Set the value of the total field equal to the value of the cost variable
function calcCost() {
cost = 145 + (guests_quantity * 30);
guests = document.reg.guests;
gindex = guests.selectedIndex;
guests_quantity = guests.options[gindex].value;
if (document.reg.member[0].checked == true) {
cost = cost - 25;
} document.reg.total.value = cost; .....

I'm using the jQuery form validation plugin along with the fileinput plugin which hides the initial input area, but uses <divs> and some styling /javascript to show the file input field.The issue I am having, is that the 'this field is required' text that is meant to show on submission, doesn't come up for the file input field, nor some checkboxes that I have in a table. I am guessing that this is because the code is needing the label to be RIGHT next to the element (in this case the file input or the checkbox) in order for the validation message to show..Are there any work arounds that anyone knows of so that I can get the error message to show?Is there a way to show the error message for required fields when they have a div wrapping them or anything wrapping them?

I made a registration form.I have used php,html as well as javascript in it.In the onclick event of submit button I've provided a call to a function written in javascript.Things are workin fine i.e validations are working properly and insertion of values to the database is also ok.
And the problem dat I have is, I want to check whether username and emailid provided is unique with respect to my site...that is no two users can't have same emailid or username.I'm able to retreive the entire emailid and username out of the database.But I don't know where should I place the code for checking the equality.I think that the code should be placed in the javascript validation function..but the code for retreiving values from db is in php.
I'm totally confused.I'm attaching here the registration page that I made...anyone out there please go through it and help me with a solution.

I downloaded a contact box from GreyBox to incorporate into my website (I like how they pop out on the same page instead of directing you to another page). From their example, I isolated the part of the code that I wanted to use and pasted it into my code, but it didn't come out the way I wanted it to.On my site, I have a GMAIL logo and when it is clicked, I want it to take the user to a pop out window. I am able to do this when the code is isolated in its own project, but when I incorporate it into my project, and view it in a broswer, it becomes a link and when you click the link, it redirects you to another page(instead of staying on the same page with a pop out box).Here is the code for the isolated project:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html xmlns="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)" xml:lang="en"> <head>

I have a javascript function which checks if the user has enteed certain text into an input or if they have entered any text at all before the submit button which submits the text is able to be activated. How can I enhance this so that if the user no text at all and only enters several spaces this will also not be allowed and will return false?

Sorry this will be an ignorant question I know, but I'm just trying to implement some quick JS in my form to check if the fields were filled in:
function check_form() {
if (survey.form_firstname.value == "") {
firstname_error = "-Please enter your first name
";
}
if (survey.form_lastname.value == "") {
lastname_error = "-Please enter your last name
";
}
if (survey.form_phone.value == "") {
phone_error = "-Please enter your phone number
";
}
if (survey.form_email.value == "") {
email_error = "-Please enter your email
";
}
if (!survey.form_agree.checked) {
agree_error = "-You must be over 18 and provide accurate information
";
}
errors = firstname_error + lastname_error + phone_error + email_error + agree_error;
if(!errors) {
return true;
} else {
alert("There were errors:
" + errors);
delete firstname_error;
delete lastname_error;
delete phone_error;
delete email_error;
delete agree_error;
delete errors;
return false;
}
}
It only seems to work if no values are filled in, if one of the fields is filled in the error checking fails. Again, I'm extremely new to JS, i've only ever copy/pasted and this is the first time i've tried writing a piece.

though I am quite an advanced and experienced VB& .NET programmer, I am totally new to Jscript coding, (I don't actually code Jscript) but I build websites all the same too. I am also new here.I am working on a website and I really wish to incorporate a contact or an order form to it so that when the user fills in the fields and clicks send, I receive the data in my email.

I want to add a cookie to this form so that if a visitor has already completed this form, the browesr recognizes the user and sends them to a page that states they have already filled out this form.
It is my understanding that using a cookie is the only way to accomplish this and I really do not understand how to use cookies. Shame on me I guess.

I am making a contact us form, when the user will submit the form it will send the entered information via email to a already specified E-mail address ( using mailto: option), Now everything is working fine, But I can not figure out how format the enterd information into a nicely formatted E-mail. I know that can be done using PHP, but it suppose to be made from javascript (Client requirement).

Here is the contact page for my website:
Bryson's Contact Page
When you click the "GMAIL" logo, it takes you to another page which has the contact form. Instead of taking the user to another page, how do I incorporate the contact form into LightBox2, so that it swiftly pops out?

I have a form that displays various hidden divs if a visitor checks a certain option in my form. For example, if they select Yes in a radio button a few more form fields will appear beneath it. It works fine except when the form is not filled out properly and the form is displayed again (using PHP). When the page reloads it doesn't show the hidden div unless they select No.
how to make it so if they select Yes, it will make the div appear again when the page reloads? Here's the code I'm using: Code:
