Javascript Form Validation Error
Oct 15, 2007
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 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 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'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 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?

Form validation using JavaScript has never been as easy and simple! We
have developed a free generic form validation script that can validate
any form with very little JavaScript required in form!
For example:
A normal HTML form with out validation:

I'm trying to protect a form from being submitted by the website it resides on. I'm using the following code, but this just stops the form submitting if '@email.com' is in the form field. How can I say 'if this field contains @email.com then do not submit'?
Whilst we are at it, I also need to do the same with php if anyone also knows this?
Code:
if(value.itech03.value == "@itech.com") {
alert("Message here.");
value.itech03.focus();
value.itech03.select();
return false;
}

My JavaScript Form Validation doesn't work at all in Netscape, but it works fine in IE.
I made some of the suggested changes which enabled it to work in IE. I couldn't make all the changes because then it didn't work in IE.
How can I enable this javascipt form validation to work in Netscape? When I use netscape, none of the alert boxes appear. It submits the form without validating anything.
In IE, I get all the alert boxes and everything is validated.

I 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.

actually there's no error in the code only that is only made to check for one input field and my form has 3 image upload fields, the original is:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="action.php" method="post" onSubmit="if(!this.img1.value.match(/.jpg$/i)){alert('Must be JPG file');return false};return val(this)">
<input type="file" name="img1">
</form>
This works great but what modifications should have to be able to check multiple file input fields?

I have this web form that I want to validate only four of the fields (these are just input text fields, one of which is for e-mail). The code is supposed to bring up an alert box when a fields is empty and after the user clicks ok puts the focus on the offending input field. For the e-mail box, it is supposed to also check for correct e-mail address form.
While testing the first field, the alert text box appears, I click ok but the page sends the incomplete form to my processing page and causes and error. Firebug says that "field1 is not defined". Honestly it looks like it is defined to me. Can any of you take a look at the code below and see what I am doing wrong? Only my JS code appears below. I've searched online for possible solutions, but the things I've tried produced similar undefined errors. I admit I need more practice in JavaScript (familiar with JS, not proficient)

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.

I'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?

From stepping through the code, when the pound and pence fields on the form are blank, but the name is filled in, it should error at "Please fill in value for pence" but it doesnt? It just submits the form anyway?

I haven't really gotten to far into javascript, but i think i'm going to need to with a particularly annoying problem with one of my javascript statements.
i use this statement in some of pages to take the user back to the referring page:
Code:
<a href="<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER"-->">BACK</a>
the problem is if the page is directly accessed this code doesn't work obviously.
error messages suck, what can i do to validate this and if a referrer isn't found then redirect it to the home page of my site?

I am using the Inline Form Validation Engine jQuery plugin found here [URL], and though I have posted at their forum as well, am having a heck of a time (not being well versed in js OR Ajax, unfortunately)
All I need to do is edit the code so that when the onSubmit function is processed, it returns only the first error it encounters, rather than keeping and display the array of every error. I have picked through the code several times, and can't seem to find where the array is stored. I thought perhaps I could find a for loop to limit, but am at a complete loss.

See this code:
The above is a simplified version of my code, but it shows enough. The two DIVs are set to "display:none".
How do I invoke the validate plugin in such a way that it shows the appropriate DIV when validation fails on the relevant field?

The jquery.validate.pack.js file found on [url] causes an error when run in IE6. I re-ran the packing process with the perl port of Dean Edwards' Packer found here [url] and the problem no longer persists.
Here is the command I ran on cygwin:
These are the safest settings I've found with jsPacker.pl. The packed file lost 2kb (.1kb gzipped) of savings, but it works now!
