Form Validation For Checkbox Named As Array

Jul 24, 2005

I have a number of checkboxes and radio buttons in an HTML form that are named as arrays, ie.

<INPUT type="checkbox" ID="i1" VALUE="MILK" NAME="Q1[]">
<INPUT type="checkbox" ID="i2" VALUE="SUGAR" NAME="Q1[]">
<INPUT type="checkbox" ID="i3" VALUE="BISCUIT" NAME="Q1[]">

I need to keep the 'NAME' as an array as above because of the form processing that is used after submit.

I was really hoping to use Javascript to validate the form and make sure that each checkbox group has at least one option selected , but my javascript messes up because the 'NAME' is Q1[] as opposed to Q1. I had been using:

<script>
function validate() {
if (!(mainform.Q1[0].checked || mainform.Q1[1].checked|| mainform.Q1[2].checked)) {
alert('Please answer question 1.');
event.returnValue=false;
}}
</script>

but this only works when I name the checkboxes NAME="Q1". Is anyone aware of how to get the validate function to work (or another way of validating the form) even when the checkboxes and radio buttons are named like NAME="Q1[]".

Form Validation -> Checkbox Array

Sep 19, 2006

<form name="new_page" action="test.php"><input type="checkbox" name="allowed[]" value="2">
<input type="checkbox" name="allowed[]" value="2">
<input type="checkbox" name="allowed[]" value="2">
<input class="button_140" type="button" value="Toevoegen"

if (!document.new_page.allowed[].checked){ popupalert('allowed'); }
else { this.form.submit(); }"></form>

This is a piece of the code I've written. It's supposed to check if one of the allowed[]-checkboxes is checked, and if not, to run function popupalert('allowed');. It's not working. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Form Validation - Dynamic Checkbox

Apr 20, 2007

I have a form which contains a number of check boxes in format of fielduse_x where x is incremented each time (1 - 30)

Everytime one of the checkboxes is ticked or unticked i want to perform a function for related boxes but i am having difficaulty doing this.

The code i have in the javascript is :

function changeStatus(f)
{
alert(f);
if(document.newForm.fielduse_[f].checked==true)
alert("YES")
else
alert("NO");
}

f is passed from the form field and contains the number (1 - 30). I know that the form is passing the values across as alert(f) gives the correct number. I don't seem to be able to get the next line to work. How do i put the value of f into the if statment as what i have done isn't working

if(document.newForm.fielduse_[f].checked==true)

Form Array Checkbox Accesing

Feb 21, 2005

First I'm sure the answer to ths JS question is buried somewhere in the many item of this forum. Just could not find it. So I'm working on changes to a form developed by someone else. In the form the previous developer wrote the following:

<input type="checkbox" name="method[]" value="payroll_onetime">Payroll
<input type="checkbox" name="method[]" value="payroll_onetime">One-time
<input type="checkbox" name="method[]" value="paper">Paper Check
<input type="checkbox" name="method[]" "onlinebill">Online Bill

Note there are other form and HTML I removed.

So my problem is this. I'm trying to access the method checkbox array from a JS function. So I write:

function setPayrollStatus()
{
alert(document.profile.method.length);
}

This does give me that value of 4. Since there are 4 checkboxes for method I'm thinking this is correct. So next I add:

for (var idx=0; idx < document.profile.method.length; idx++)
{
alert(document.profile.method[idx].checked);
}

Now I get only 'undefined'.

What I want to accomplish is to check the first item. I thought I would be able to write something like: document.profile. method[0].checked = true;

If I change the form name tags from 'method[]' to 'method' it works. Problem is he also wrote the php back end processing for this form. And in PHP this syntax yeilds an array for the method vriable.

Form Input Array Validation

Mar 6, 2004

The form contains 3 file input tags. The name for each is an array. This is for further processing by PHP script. I want to make sure at least one of the file input tags has selected a file.

The rest of the validation script works, but I get a 'not object' error when I include the section that checks the file input tags. Code:

Using Hidden Form Field In Array For Validation

Mar 29, 2011

I have an order form where a customer can select a number of artwork prints supplied by different artists and suppliers. The name, price, postage amount and other details for each of the prints are held in a table in a MySQL database. As postage amount may vary between prints and suppliers of the prints we must have the customer select postage per print - not the amount just yes or no. The customer may select as many of these prints as he desires - printa, printb, printc, printd etc. through to printz. Many of the prints are provided by separate individual suppliers and must therefore have postage paid for each ordered print and this is automatically added by the order form. However some prints are provided by the same supplier and only one postage fee needs to be chosen (yes or no), so these are not automatically added and the customer must choose to pay postage on only one of the prints (not all 3 if he orders 3 of them).

So for postage purposes I have a postage code on the table in the MySQL database. For example printa, printb and printc are all supplied by the same supplier so each have a linked postage code of A. Similarly others may also be linked using different postage codes e.g. printx and printy may have a postage code of B. So whenever a customer chooses a print that does not have a linked postage code then the postage fee is automatically selected for him and charged to the total. However where prints are linked to the same postage code we must allow the costomer to select postage (yes or no), but we must force him to select yes or no for at least one of the linked prints.

So to do this I need a javascript validation alert to force the customer to choose yes for postage for at least one of the prints, not necessarily all of them, where they have a linked postage code. To do that I can add the the postage linked code as an array for each print selected to a form hidden field so that my javascript can use the field as follows: <input type="hidden" name="postagearray[]" value="<? echo $postagecode; ?>">

JQuery :: Validate -- Require Series Of Checkboxes When Named As Array[]?

Sep 23, 2009

I have a working example of jQuery validate working in the link below. The newsletter checkbox is required and working. However, the "colors" checkboxes are all named as an array ( ex: name="color[]" ), and so the problem lies in the validation code, where it uses the name of the element to require elements ( ex: newsletter: "required" ).

Code JavaScript:
<script>
$("#testform").validate({

Multiple Array And Display - Declare A Variable Named Total With An Initial Value Of 0

Sep 17, 2010

I am looking for a push in the right direction for a few problems i am running into; my first problem is I have to create a script element that contains the function amountTotal which should return the sum of all the values in the amount array. There are no parameters for this function, and I have to add the following commands to it.

1. declare a variable named total with an initial value of 0

2. create a for loop thatloops through all of the values in the amount array, at each iteration of the loop, add the current value of the array item to the value of the total variable.

3. and after the for loop is completed, return the value of the total variable.

The amount array has already been created and populated in a list.js file, I had to first create a script element pointing to it.

This is what i had for my link to the list.js file and funtion :

I have my entire code written but i am trying to break it up and fix my problems 1 at a time: when i open the code, it does'nt display correctly ( which is another problem) but I ran the debugger and it says my total is undefined. ( this is in another section of my code), but I guess my function is wrong somewhere.

JQuery :: Filling Different Listboxes On Form With Named ID

Jun 4, 2011

I have ONE page which consists of php, html, and javascript, all on the same page. I have 3 different listboxes on a form, their named id's are: "strike", "grapple", and "strength". I have a span tag named id as: "pa". I Have a variable which is constant and named $totalValue and its vale is: 30, I have another variable named: $availableValue which will get its initial value from $totalValue. What I want to do is this, a user will choose his/her first list box. When the uses clicks the arrow on the listbox it drops down filled with values to choose from, these values come from the $availableValue variable and should be displayed as: 1,2,3,4,5,etc,etc,etc, after the user makes their selection the value of $availableValue is decreased by the amount of the user's selected choice and the value of the $availableValue is displayed on the html part of the page in a span tag.

The user will then choose his/her second listbox, upon clicking that arrow the listbox drops down displaying the REMAINING values from $availableValue variable and displays them as: 1,2,3,etc,etc,etc, after the user makes their selection the value of $availableValue is decreased by the amount of the user's selected choice and the value of the $availableValue is displayed on the html part of the page in a span tag. The user will then choose the last listbox, and upon clicking its arrow the list drops down with the LAST REMAINING values from $availableValue and will be displayed as: 1,2,etc,etc, after the user makes their selection the value of $availableValue is decreased by the amount of the user's selected choice and the value of the $availableValue is displayed on the html part of the page in a span tag.

The user should be able to choose which ever listbox he/she wants as their first listbox. So for argument's sake lets say the user chooses listbox "grapple" first, but of course the user could have chosen any of the 3 listboxes first, but he/she choose "grapple" first. The "grapple" listbox should fill with values 1 to 30, ex: 1,2,3,4,up to 30, the user selects value 5 from "grapple", the $availableValue variable will decrease by 5 and the value of $availableValue is displayed in a span tag. The user then chooses listbox "strength", its values should be filled and displayed with values from 1 to 25, the user selects 8 from "strength", the $availableValue variable decreases by 8 and the value of $availableValue is displayed in a span tag. Finally the user selects listbox "stamina", it listbox displays the values from 1 to 17, the user selects 17 from "stamina" and the $availableValue variable decreases by 17 and the value of $availableValue is displayed in a span tag. All this should happen BEFORE I submit the form via php code.

The code below, including the html, is ALL on one page named: createfighter.php
<?php
$totalValue = 30;
$availableValue = $totalValue;
$action = $_REQUEST['action'];
$strike = $_POST['strike'];
$grapple = $_POST['grapple'];
$strength = $_POST['strength'];
?> .....

JQuery :: 1.3.2 Error - Form Element Must Not Be Named Submit

Aug 2, 2009

I was using jquery-1.2.6 and now, I started to use jquery-1.3.2, and I get my first "difference": when I use the wrapped set operation $ (':input[@name=submit]') with jquery-1.3.2 it returns all input fields, but if I use it with jquery-1.2.6 it returns 0 (as espected). Is it an error with 1.3.2 version?What do you think I'm doing wrong? This wrapped set is used by "jQuery Form Plugin" and, if I have file uploads I get the alert 'Error: Form elements must not be named "submit".' from the function "fileUpload" of this plugin.

Password Validation With Checkbox Approval

May 6, 2009

I have a form with a password the user must enter. The password has no conditions, but there is a checkbox next to it. Users have an option to choose one of two checkboxes. If they choose the checkbox with the password then the password is required, the other checkbox does not require a password so the form would not need to validate the password in that instance.
