Validating Form Array - Type In Various Values For Several Items At A Time ?

Aug 15, 2011

In our ordering system, we have to type in various values for several items at a time. This means in one single form, for one order, we could be typing in a batch number 4 or 5 times. I can valiadate this easy enough with Javascript when there is only 1 line. But what if there is more than 1?

With PHP you add [] to the end of the form element's name. But how do I get javascript to work with this?

Code:

Basically, the batch number, expiry date and pallet/box number is mandetory. If they arn't entered, it needs to fail (return false). It doesn't seem to be doing anything, just moving on to the next part which is checking other parts of the form which isn't repeated.

Only Validating One Field At A Time In A Multi Field Form?

Aug 17, 2010

my javascript code is only validating one field at a time (as in it validates on field then submits the form, instead of going through the entire thing and then returning it as true and submitting it...) I'm not sure what to do to be honest, I've looked up google to no real avail.. my variables are declared in a seperate file to the actual even handlers and I have heaps of comments through out it, so please don't judge lol i'm still learning Quote:

//Event Registrations (Variable Declarations) found in validation_chkr.js
//Validate Entire Form using validate_join()
function validate_join()

Validating A Form With Multiple Field Conditionals?

Dec 8, 2009

I am somewhat a noob at js/jquery so I wasn't sure exactly how to do this. Think I just need a push in the right direction. Basically I'm trying to validate a form (jquery validation) with a couple of conditionals based on a selection box. So I have:

<form id="info" class="validate">
<select id="select">
<option value="senior">Senior Citizen</option>

[code]...

I'm trying to validate that if the user has selected "Senior Citizen" then their age must be 65 or older (and validate the adult/child ages as well).

Validating A Form Field If Radio Button Is Checked

Dec 2, 2004

I have a form that makes visible a text field when a specific radio button is checked. That works. Then I validate to see if a radio button is checked before I let the form be submitted. That works.

BUT - I cannot seem to get it to validate the form field that is made visible to see if it has content or at least the proper content when the form is submitted. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong please?

I can give more info on what kind of validation I want done if needed, but I think my code speaks for itself Code:

Form In Html That Contains Table Row - Missing Something When Validating Random Number

Oct 5, 2011

I wanted to throw a quick and easy .js function into my comments section to ward off some spamming bots. I have a form in html that contains this table row.

The function I am calling sits in an external .js file. The file itself has a handful of functions but I will post the important bits below.

The form has other fields that validate just fine.

Dynamic Math - Show / Hide Every Type Of Form Field

Mar 1, 2011

I have a form with a field that asks for a full year. If the year is greater than 20 years ago, I'd like additional form fields to be revealed. If the year is equal to or less than 20 years ago, it will not reveal the fields. (And it should be based on getFullYear(), so I don't have to update the script every year, yeah?)

I figured out how to script onclick functions and some basic .value == functions in order to show/hide just about every type of form field. So I don't need that info. But I'm unsure of how to calculate the value.

Get Input Field Attributes Type And Tagname By Field ID?

Aug 5, 2009

So I have to ask some stupid questions and make sure that there is not something wrong in this simple syntax. I am trying to get input field attributes type and tagname by field ID. Heres the code..

Code JavaScript:
var type = $('#' + input_id).attr('type');
var tag = $('#' + input_id).attr('tagName');

When I look in firebug I see there is the correct ID in input_id variable and that the input field with that id exists. But for tag and type variables I just get 'undefined' for reason unknown.. syntax is correct or?

Check If Form Field Exists And If It's An Array

Sep 5, 2007

I want to validate a form. In the form is a text field named 'extra[]' where the user inputs a number. The number is what I want to validate.

However, the 'extra[]' field is dynamic and does not always appear in the form.

If it appears, there may be only 1 occurrence of it which means it's then not an array but there may also be multiple occurrences of it.

I have a script that validates (and work as it should) if the 'extra[]' field occurs multiple times and is thereby an array, but I can't figure out how to validate the 'extra[]' if there is only 1 and to not throw an error if it's not there at all. 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; ?>">

[Code]..

Validating A Radio Button That Has A Field Name With A ^ In It

May 2, 2005

The application I'm helping develop is about 10 pages long and allows users to move back and forth, updating previous selections. Certain pages use Javascript to check current selections and show/hide divs based on those selections. Most of these fields are radio buttons and use simple onClick calls. However, one of these requires that 2 fields be checked for a specific value and if they are both true, display a div.

One problem though... for other reasons these form field names all begin with either a "r^" or a "t^" signifying it as either a text field or radio button. I can get the check to work fine without the "r^" but with it I'm lost. The carrot seems to be causing problems for me and I've tried many different combinations of things to get it to work. Code:

Validating Array Depending On Values

Aug 11, 2009

I have two arrays that are tied together Ink1Data[][InkID] and Ink1Data[][Ink1Desc]. I also have this Javascript code to validate it:
var chksink1 = document.getElementsByName("Ink1Data[][InkID]");
for (var i = 0; i < chksink1.length; i++) {
switch (chksink1[i]) {
case (chksink1.value=1);
var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]";
if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in a trim size.")==false)
{i1Desc.focus();return false;}
break;
case (chksink1.value=2);
var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]";
if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in folding instructions.")==false)
{i1Desc.focus();return false;}
break;
case (chksink1.value=3);
var i1Desc = "Ink1Data["+i+"][Ink1Desc]";
if (validate_required(i1Desc,"Please fill in scoring instructions.")==false)
{i1Desc.focus();return false;}
break;
}}
Basically, I want to count how many are in the array (will be the same number for both) and then depending on the value of the first array, validate the second and kick an appropriate error if necessary. It should be pretty easy, but I can't seem to get the code to work.
