View 3 RepliesI am trying to create a basic unobtrusive form validation function but I am having some issues/questions. Basically I am checking if any of the form fields have <= 3 characters, and if they do so, then I make those fields' backgrounds and borders red. Also in the empty <span> tags I insert an error message. My issues/questions are:
#1: So when I say if (fieldVals<=3) this means that the errors should appear if the values are 1,2 or 3 characters long, right? It does not do that though, when I insert one character in any of the form fields the errors go away, but they should not, right?
#2: How do I cancel the form from submitting if errors are visible and vice versa? When I use the return false when errors are visible, the code does not even run. What is going on? return true does the same.
#3: When I use a submit button(type="submit") instead of just a button(type="button"), the code does not run? What am I doing wrong?
I am not trying to use this on a website, I am just trying to learn how to use unobtrusive javascript. That's why I am only checking for empty fields. If I learn how to do this first, later I will try to add email check, date check etc.
THE CODE:
I'm trying to create a simple registration form with ajax validation. I've got the form working almost how I'd like... a message appears on the page with the errors for each field entered incorrectly.
The problem is all the error messages appear in one div together and I would like to have each field have its own div containing only its own error.
I think I need to wrap my error messages in xml and use something like this -
Code:
- but can't seem to get it working
Does anyone know how I should modify my code to do this?
Attached are the 3 I'm currently using
And Here is my code for my ajax page only.

i am trying to make a form that out puts the inputs to a table and makes the form disappear in the process. I am encountering too problems though
a) at the submitt bit it says object expected for "document.getElementById('tablename').value=
document.getElementById('name').value"
why what did i forget to do??
b) am i missing a section of code needed to not only output the data to table but make form disappear?this is the full code

I was wanting to know what you all thought the best technique is to process email addresses entered in my form. Should I do it in JavaScript, or should I have my web server do it -- however that works. It's just a simple 1-field collection.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a successful php-based login screen for users. There are two radio buttons the user can select.
1) Login into Account Page (on my server).
2) Login into Affiliated Page (not on my server -- another website).
Now by default the radio button for the Account Page is selected. My question is, if the user selects the second radio button, how do I tell the form to now process the username/password for the affiliated site?
Currently, the action attribute in the form tag is set to "process.php" when the first radio button, Account Page, is selected. No big deal there.
But when they click the second radio button, I need the action attribute to process on the affiliated website by sending the username and password to this page: "http://www.affiliatepage.com/process.aspx"
So the issue is how does the login page know which form action to take?
Do I need to create two forms? If so, should the form for the Affiliate Page login be hidden? Code:
I am trying to build a webpage quotation form that collects the relevant data then outputs the calculated quote details to a table for an assignment. I know how to build the form and the table so they can be filled filled but i am stuck big time trying to work out best way to output the data on to the table and hide the original form in the process.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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:

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 am creating the following using an array called $validate
<script Language="JavaScript">
function validateForm(theForm) {
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[company_name],"Company Name",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[contact_name],"Contact Name",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[phone_number],"Phone Number",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[address],"Address",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[city],"City",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[zip],"Zip",true)) return false;
return true;
}
</script>
Each field in my form is set to: form[field_name]. This is so when they submit I can grab the form array and it has all the fields they submitted. This seems to cause a problem with this javascript. It gives me an error at the first validRequired where form[company_name] is. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
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.
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">
<!--

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]
View 9 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,
