Using Prompt To Validate A Text String?
Jan 30, 2011
I want to prompt a user to enter their name, if the user entry includes numbers I would like to prompt them to re-enter their name using only text.
I have tried:
var userName = prompt ("Please enter your name", " ");
if (userName == null || !isNaN(userName)) {
prompt ("Please enter a valid name, and do not include any numbers in this field");
userNamm.focus();
} else {
document.write("Welcome back " +userName); }
It isn't working, I would like to monitor the user entry for only text values

I making a form, nothing special, just for myself... so when user loads my form it askes him for his name ( with prompt 'var name=prompt("Your name please",""); ) then says Welcome 'name' (with alert box). THEN he can start filling in the form. What I want is for a user not to have to type his name two times but to pass the value of var name into the input type="text" name="First Name" ..

Using jQuery Validate to do it's job of validating a form. Problem is I need to get at least one phone number recorded in the form - either a Telephone or Mobile (Cell).Is there any inbuilt way of setting up the rules to do this?I have seen the Milk demo for the validate plugin where there's something similar, but the 'name' attribute is the same, something that's not going to be the same for two different text inputs.

I'm trying to validate the text of an input as it is typed.I have this keyup:[code]The idea is that only let the user type a decimal number; and it does.The only problem is that it let type a dot [decimal separator I need] at the beginning; and I don't want that.I've been a while and searched Google for the Reg Exp, but had no luck.

I have a text field where a user can enter either a(n):American zip code (example: "02475")Canadian zip code (example: "A3F 4G6")A "city/state abbreviation" combination (example: "Toronto, ON", or "Las Vegas, NV")For the most part, users don't have much of a problem with the first two criteria, but some people have some trouble with the third, either by entering simply a state ("NB", or "Texas"), a city, or spelling out the state name "Chicago, Illinois". I need to put together some validation that makes sure that:
If the entered text is not an american or canadian zip code (IOW, if the entered text contains no numbers at all - in that case, move on to the next validation check)Check to see if the third to last character is non alphanumeric (if they entered the city/state combination correctly, there would be some sort of non-alphanumeric separator between the city and state abbreviation)if the entered text doesn't fit the criteria, return the error.
function hasNumbers(string) {
var regex = /d/g;
return regex.test(string);
}

I am using the jquery form validation plugin [URL] to get some simple validation done on my form. It's working perfect so far. When I set a particular form field to have the class "required" that makes it so that it can't be blank and when the user tries to submit the form, JQuery displays a "This field is required." text beside the field and focuses on it. The text generally appears right beside the input element. I was wondering whether it is possible to actually control where the error text appears? Say like I set an element div element which I want the error to appear. Is there a way to make it the error text appear in that div element?

I'm trying to set up a form that has a text field that is required to be blank - I'm dealing with form spam, and the bots are stuffing every text field with random crap. So, I have a text box that is required to be blank. But I can't get jquery.validate to understand both required and blank.the text input is has a name and id of live_check.I have added this method:
$.validator.addMethod("equalToParam", function(value, element, param) {return value == param;});
and then my rules look like this:
rules: {
first_name: "required",
last_name: "required",[code]...
But validate flags the empty text box as invalid (because it's required?)

I have searched the internet and couldn't find a problem regarding this issue. The thing I want to do is simply validate a text input so when you enter a number in it, it won't validate and give you an error message. This is the code:

I have written a form in HTML which contains username,lastname,email,password and submit.I have written a javascript to validate this form [validate(username,lastname,,password)].On submit this javascript function will be called and hence form get validated. I am passing all the arguements(username,lastname,email and password) to the javascript function..Is it possible to make me a code such that it should call an individual function for each field in the form.for ex:if i have not entered username, last name in the form and attempt to submit, only username arguement should be passed to the function as it comes first in the form.In other sense i want to validate individual text field validation of my form.
