JQuery :: Validate: Using A Different Selector To Identify Required Fields?
Jul 16, 2011
My CMS generates forms in a specific way, and I need to change the way validated fields are selected. I'm using the validation plugin: It identifies form fields that have the "required" class. My CMS generates required elements like this:
<div class="required"><input /></div>
I was hoping this can be easily changed in the plugin syntax, but I can't find any reference to such a change (to select the required fields using this selector: ".required input"[where input is any form element])
I am trying to use jquery: validation plugin by Jörn Zaefferer. Which works really well I have to say. The one limitation I am trying to work around is how I can run validation for required fields before I submit a form. At the moment I have to submit the form before I see the error messages for required fields I would like to see them prior as the user tabs through the form.
I would like to disable the submit button until all fields have been success. I have been looking for examples of call backs but could find anything I could use.
I have a form that has 4 "required fields" that validate using JS. I am now trying to add a 5th "required field" (the difference is that this field is a "radio button input as opposed to a text input).
I have it working so that when the 1st radio button is selected, the form will go through. However, when the 2nd radio button is selected, it comes up with the "please fill in all required fields" error.
Here is the JS I have so far:
HTML Code:
I tried adding the 2nd radio button value like this:
HTML Code:
(document.indiv_reg.skill[0].checked =="") || (document.indiv_reg.skill[1].checked =="") But when I do that, then even when the 1st radio button is selected it comes up with the "please fill out all required fields error".
I have a page here http://183.78.169.53/scv/addRoute3.php. What is does it check if either of the second/third dropdown list is not selected then minimal the third dropdown list is required. I have function like this. What it does when there is change in the second column dropdown list > 0 then I want to make the third column dropdown list to required false but when I submit it still shows me the error message "This field is required".
Code: function handleDwellTimeHourUpdate(index) { //alert("First or last row");
There are two input fields in a form, but only one of them is required, they are not required at the same time. Either A or B is required. ( A is required OR B is required). In other words, a user can input data to field A, or he can input data to filed B, but he can not input data to Both A and B at the same time. How to implement this constraint in Jquery form validation?
I'm redesigning a large website right now, and the problem i'm having is that there is already a CSS class called "required" that has been used extensively all over the site. However, I want to use the jQuery.validate.js for the forms. is there any way to override this?
the validate plugin at the form at the below URL is validating as true as long as the first required input is valid even though subsequent required fields are invalid. It even gives the invalid class to all fields correctly but the submitHandler function is triggered anyway. I have an alert trigger when the form successfully submits and a little more output for firebug if you want it. [URL]
im loading data via json dynamical from the server. Now i try to optimate the speed of my application and so i want to disable the validate of the fields during the data loading from the server.Is there a simple solution to this? like validate = false
How do I disable the submit button if all required fields in a form are not filled in? Say I have a form with Name, Age,message, and email. Name, message and email must be filled in or else the submit button will not show or will be disabled and then enabled once filled. If the fields are filled in then the submit button will show. If the fields are filled in but then one is deleted then the submit button will hide. Ideally if I can have it disabled that will work, if not I will settle on hide at this point.
I have a form that has a few required fields and also an "agree to terms" checkbox that must be required. I have used Javascripts for both functions individually, but I need a little help in combining them. Can someone help me combine these two scripts so they both work on the same page, with <FORM METHOD=POST onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)" etc., checking for required fields and making sure the agree-to-terms button is checked? Code:
I need to do a clientside check of a form to see if a "required" multiselect list and a checkbox have been left blank or not. To clarify, the user is required to select either one or more options from the multiselect list, the checkbox, or a combination of both.
What they can't do is leave both of them blank. Both the multiselect and the checkbox pass values to a PHPList script on the server as if they were one multiselect with the name "attribute17[]".

I'm dealing with a very long subscribe form, and so far I've been successful with figuring out the code to validate emails, select dropdowns, and checkboxes. This combination multiselect and checkbox is the last piece of the form that is giving me trouble. Hopefully somebody here has a solution.
For simplicity I've reduced the javascript and the form down to just the part I'm still having trouble with. Here is a piece of the javascript that I'm trying to use:
Code: <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> function checkform() { if(document.subscribeform.elements["attribute17[]"].value == "") { alert("Please select your Primary Work Locations");
I found this "required fields" script for a form I built, and I'd like to know how to convert it to accept multiple required fields. I'm a total novice at JavaScriptHere's the script:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function check(form) {
I am wanting to make a few fields required after they are enabled, but it's not working well.
<script language="javascript"> function enableAdd(){ document.form1.empJobTitle.disabled=false; document.form1.empExt.disabled=false; document.form1.empEmail.disabled=false; }
function disableAdd(){ document.form1.empJobTitle.disabled=true; document.form1.empExt.disabled=true; document.form1.empEmail.disabled=true; }
function validateCheck(){ if(document.form1.empJobTitle.disabled=false && document.form1.empJobTitle.value==""); alert("You must enter the employee's job title."); return false;
if(document.form1.empExt.disabled=false && document.form1.empExt.value==""); alert("You must enter the employee's extension."); return false;
if(document.form1.empEmail.disabled=false && document.form1.empEmail.value==""); alert("You must enter a valid email address for the employee."); return false; }
It's beginning to get confusing as some code seems very complicated. I simply want four fields to be mandatory when filling out the form - so if one or more is not filled in, an alert appears saying 'Please fill out all required fields' (or something to that extent) before it will process. I understand that I need to include Javascript within the Head secion of the page and corresponding html and javascript within the contact form itself.Required Fields are: Name, Address, Area Code and Phone.<div id="main"><p>Please feel free to contact us with any query. see the <a href="services.html">Services</a> page.<br />All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.</p>
I have a basic html form with some text input fields and a couple drop down selection lists. Our employees print the form and include it with items they need our shipping department to ship for them. The form uses the following verification script to ensure the required fields have been populated before the screen prints. It works exactly as desired in Safari and Firefox. In Internet Explorer, however, the selections made in the drop down lists are reset to the default values on the printed form.
Before you respond with, "don't use Internet Explorer," you have to understand that Internet Explorer is our only corporate approved web browser because it is the only browser supported by some of our other "mission critical" third party web apps and because it can be more rigorously controlled using Group Policies than Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, et al, can. How to make the form print without resetting the drop down list selections? :confused:
<script language="javascript"> function verify() { var themessage = "You must provide the following information"; if (document.shipment.SenderName.value == "") { themessage = themessage + ", Sender Name"; } .....
I have a form which I need to add an ajax loading image.My question is how do I connect it to the camcheckrequired function so that if there is an error the image doesn't show?
Code: <script language=javascript> function camcheckrequired(theform) {
