I'm working on a website where users can add films to a film directory through a form. One of the fields that can be filled in is a "Release date" field, where a correct release date can be filled in. The form uses dropdown boxes for selecting the date; this is much less confusing in terms of how to format the date than if one would just use a text input field. Here's a screen shot:[URL]..
I've been looking for a Javascript script that does three things:
1) Validate the entered date (i.e. no "31st of February" dates).
2) Check whether the date entered doesn't exceed today's date (so no release date in the future is allowed). This could be combined with PHP to find the today date.
3) If the "I don't know the release date" box is checked, simply skip the whole validation process (no need to validate something that won't be used).
I've been looking for Javascript code that does this, and I found a couple of scripts (like this one) [URL].. /date_validation.asp), but they all make use of text input fields where the user has to input it in a certain format (mm/dd/yyyy et cetera). This is not what I'm looking for, but having zero knowledge of Javascript I am completely unable to write my own code or adapt this code to what I want.
I already figured out the PHP that does all of the above, but I would also very much like to have some code that checks the date before the data is processed so that users who have made a mistake don't have to fill in the whole form a second time.
I'm wondering if there is a way to check if a form is valid withouttriggering UI feedback for invalid fields in the form? I tried boththe $('#myform').valid() and validator.form() methods, but they bothtrigger the UI.
I've been doing a bit of research and haven't found anything too easy. Can anyone point me to an article that has a function written in javascript that validates that a date that has been submitted via a form that it is a valid date?
The following script generates three SELECT menu's... one for days one for months and one for years. Each time a new year or a month is selected the menu's are updated to allow only valid dates. Its only just been finished and could probably use commenting more, but im always open to suggestions, advice and criticism.
I need to be able to add dynamically multiple "Date Picker" input boxes to a form. I wanted to use a simple dynamic textbox added form which will easily add or remove date pickers.
I already have a Date Picker which works well also I have a very dynamic field added.
is it possible to use another JavaScript inside another script as one seems to corrupt the other?

I am calling a custom method to validate adate input element (this element is an array ). Upon validation, a message is displayed against each date input element, even if the others are valid. If one date element is invalid, all other valid date elements too show the message. How do I make sure that the error message is displayed only for the invalid element?
My formelement is defined as such: <input name="order_date[ ]" size="10" type="text"> Here's the script: <script type="text/javascript">
Just looking for the simplest. right now my perl script returns an error messge to the user if the date string is invalid. would like to do this before accessing the server.
I'm wondering how to go about creating two dropdown boxes such that when you select a value from the first one, the second is populated with values that depend on the first.
I am getting some problems with populating my drop down boxes. I create the drop down through dom object.when I call this function onClick event in a button its work fine and populate the records from database so it does't matter how many times you click the button its work fine and populate all rows. The problem start when I call this function in a loop like in php file its populate only last row. but I want to populate all rows.
I would like to create reverse dropdown boxes (that is, dropdown boxes that "drop" the other way around--perhaps "drop-up" boxes could be the closest term I could associate with such elements) for the menu of my personal site; I've seen such menus before, however at the same time I have also neglected to take note of what JavaScripts were used.
I'm absolutely terrible at coding javascript, it makes no since to me, I'm "ok" at html but I just can't get Java, but anyways. I'm working on an averaging code for a forum I apart of that has to take the selected number from 5 drop down boxes adding them together, dividing by 5 and displaying the result.
the code I have is barely half completed, but it's not to long just the same thing over and over with the drop down boxes, so I was hoping someone could help me with this. Or at least guide me in the right direction. Code:
I'm populating a couple of dropdown boxes from an xml file, but can't get them working independently. As you can seehtmwhen you select an item from the first select box (a polyline), itdisplays the corresponding item from the other box (a polygon), too.I found this answer on the google maps forum:"Don't know of an example, but building two select boxes isn'tdifficult: pass into your createMarker() function the relevant flag,and add the data to one of two variables (instead of everything beingadded to select_html as now).You shouldn't need two handleSelected() functions -- both select listscan use the same function because each select box passes itself("this") into the function."which is what I thought I did (making sel_html and select_html) butmaybe the two variables being discussed here are different ones?cross-posted on the google maps forum here and here but not answered.
[code]I have created an array of cars so if personA has more cars, they can click add and select another one. If they have 1 car and just enter name and 1 car, the form works but when I click Add row and select another car, it doesnt work?
I am trying to make a unit converter with two dropdown boxes, two textfields and a button. I want to enter a number into the first textfield, select a unit option, then select another appropriate unit option based on the first selection, press the button and get the result in the second textfield. What would be the best approach for this. So far I have:
I have a product select page that is really slow to use because 6 dropdowns must be populated and the page reloads after selecting each box, to get the options for the next box.
I want to speed it up as follows:
1) User selects one of 50 products from a dropdown list.
2) Page reloads, and all the possible options for the remaining 5 dropdown boxes are now populated (ie. list options all stored client side)
3) User can freely input the remaining 5 dropdowns without the page reloading.
I am building a custom validator. I don't want any suggestions on using a jQuery framework, i just want to ask a few question on how best to continue.
Code: <script type="text/javascript"> //Validator Strings And Expressions. var Letters = /^[A-Za-z]+$/;
[Code].....
This is the "on page" validation. This, as you can see calls functions held in an included file onkeyup. This all works well, also the username check ajax call works great. However I have 2 questions that I need to sort before this will work correctly.
1. Using M_USERNAME form as an example. If I start typing in there it will begin validating, which is great, However, if i typed in "matt_thomas" based on the validations, Empty:Pass, ValidChars:Fail, Range:Pass, Check:Pass.
So I know that it isn't empty, it's the correct length and it's not already in the DB. But it fails because of the "_". This should mean that I receive the error i have setup for that failure. But I don't. Because I don't stop on a Fail, I receive the success message of the last function.
So my question is; How Can I stop running any more functions when one fails?
2. Looking at the above code, How can I make sure that a submit will only work when ALL fields validate correctly?
I've got two dropdown boxes ('language' and 'word'). When the submit button is pressed, I want a div to show with the right word in it. I can do this fine with one dropdown box, but two has got me stumped.
I have a drop down box (select) in my website: [URL] that works fine; but the problems is if the user click on a wrong option, it will show a box and if the user click on another option from the box, the last one will be on display and won't go off..
Like this select something and then at the same box change the selection you will see the code will build up boxes on the screen.. How I do for it not happens if the user change the option in the last box, the one before disappears!
I've been trying to do this since yesterday with no luck. I've tried stackoverflow, DIC and this is my last chance. I'm using drop down boxes to have a user select a ship date. I don't want them to be able to choose a date in the past however. Below is some code a guy at DIC sent me which doesn't have many changes from my original one but he said it was working and I havent been able to get it working.
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function date_check()
i don't know much about JavaScript. I'm working on a PHP file, it has two dropdown boxes 'starttime' and 'endtime' I want it so that if someone selected 9am 'starttime' the 'endtime' should change to 10am onwards. so basiclly gap of 1hr.
I'm looking for four level connected drop down boxes. Unlike all the scripts I have seen on the internet I need all the options to be available if nothing is selected in the previous drop down. So I want something like combination of connected drop downs and ordinary drop down. If the selection is made, display appropriate options in other drop downs... Hope I'm clear...
