Validation On A Field For A "last Name" While Allowing For An Apostrophe
May 4, 2010
I am trying to re-work some pre-written Javascript code at which I am a novice at (I'm more CSS, HTML, PHP...). I am trying to validate a form field for a Purchaser's last name while accounting for an apostrophe if they have one in their last name.
I bet it's something simple, but I still haven't been able to figure it out, or write it correctly:
function checkPurchaserName()
{
var err = false;
var f = $(getApogeeElement('purchaser_name_first'));
var l = $(getApogeeElement('purchaser_name_last'));
[Code]...
As an example. I started the purchasing process with the name "Patrick O'Malley".
At the end page where this validation occurs, they have (2) text boxes, one for "first name" and one for "last name". They must type the same exact name for purchaser that they did for applicant, so "Patrick", then "O'Malley"

Whoever allowed apostrophes to be valid within emails needs some talking to!
Anyway. I have just found out that this JS function I have been using and have no idea how it works does not allow emails with apostrophes in it. Does anyone know how to alter this code to allow apostrophes?
var pattern = new RegExp(/^(("[w-s]+")|([w-]+(?:.[w-]+)*)|("[w-s]+")([w-]+(?:.[w-]+)*))(@((?:[w-]+.)*w[w-]{0,66}).([a-z]{2,6}(?:.[a-z]{2})?)$)|(@[?((25[0-5].|2[0-4][0-9].|1[0-9]{2}.|[0-9]{1,2}.))((25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2}).){2}(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|[0-9]{1,2})]?$)/i);

I'm using the Jquery Validation Plugin on my site, and I have a textfield that validates to only allow numbers. However, that also doesn't allow linebreaks - which I need to have! Is there a way around this?Here's the working code:

I'm using the validation plugin available here and seem to be encountering trouble in IE7. The validation is not occuring and my forms submit. Not what I want.The functions below are working fine in FF3, Opera 9.0, Chrome, & Safari.I'm going to guess this is a result of some misplaced character or ...??? Maybe a second set of eyes will spot the error.
Code JavaScript:

In the folowing Input tag I am trying to get the apostrophe in "Friends" to appear and it almost works the way it is but when I first load the page the "" (backslash) also shows up. If I click in the field (onfocus) the words "Friend's Email" disappear as they are supposed to. Then when I click somewhere else (onblur) it comes back like this "Friend's Email" which is the way I want it to appear when the page first loads. Is this a browser problem or something else I am missing?
<input type="text" name="who_to" size="12" value="Friend's Email" maxlength="100" onFocus="if(this.value='Friend's Email') {this.value=''}" onBlur="if (this.value=='') {this.value='Friend's Email'}">

The following form validation script works, currently if one of the five fields are completed, a message appears the remaining field(s) must be completed etc. Although the information the user has inputted in the first field is cleared. How can this information be available, if there is one problem in the form it doesn't make sense that the user must re-input all the information again. I look forward to hearing your response,
function validate_form ( )
{
valid = true;

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.

In my form I have an email textfield. Whenever the user enters an email
address the form gets automatically submitted using JavaScript. However,
when a user enters in an email that contains an apostrophe eg:
Mc’Knight. I get a javascript error and the form never gets submitted.

I've recently added Cufon to a site and generated a font that includes the WordPress Punctuation option. [URL]
However when I try and use an apostrophe in the text it does not appear on the page.
As a potential fix, I tried inserting ' into the HTML tab of the page via the WP dashboard. It works in Firefox. Cufon displays an apostrophe.
However, in Internet Explorer it displays the code and not the apostrophe.

we had someone write this script for us a few years ago and we thought it was working fine until this week. It uses javascript to generate a dependant drop down menu eg. Depending on what the user chooses in the first drop down menu, (in this case a manual/book title) the second drop down displays the chapter/category headings that are available within that manual and then the users uploads a file that appears under that heading.
If our user adds a chapter/category heading with an apostrophe in it the script quits and the second drop down does not display the corresponding chapter headings. We are storing the info in a mysql database and use php and javascript to extract the data/build the drop down menus. Code:

I have a situation where i need to locate a radio button by it's value and check it. The solution below works in all browsers. However, in IE 6 & 7 (not 8), if there's an apostrophe it blows up.It's happening for me in both jQuery 1.6.4 and 1.7.1. Here's an example. var diagnosis = "Huntington's Disease"; $(...).find('input[value="' +diagnosis+ '"]').attr('checked','checked'); I've tried diagnosis.replace("'","'") and that seems to have no affect.

I'm trying to display an alert if a form field has a value in it. I got this function, and looked at a half dozen others that are virtually identical They ALL claim to work This doesn't and I have no idea what I've got wrong Can somebody tell me what's going on? The function gets called onSubmit, and the Alert "xxx" is displaying.
[Code]...
And while I'm in here asking questions about javascript, can somebody tell me how to do an alert that'll append a value to text? For example... Alert ("xxx" + form.newfile0.value); How do I write this so it actually works?

My code seems to work individually it is when I try to do multiple input validation that everything goes wrong.I have tried at the moment to cut it down to just two validation inputs to simplify things, but the more I try and play around with it the worse it seems to get.I know a lot of people post about this but I have tried comparing to other people's codes and solutions and just can't work out what is wrong.

I have a three field contact form on an HTML5 page. Using CSS3/HTML5 techniques, the fields change state as the info is entered properly (green OK symbol if good, red "!" if not, etc). That all works as expected in all browsers.
My final hurdle is preventing the form being submitted with nothing entered in the fields. I have done hours of research and have tried several ways of writing the checkFeedbackForm function. My problem is that none of the solutions I've found are recognized by FireFox (mac and pc) and IE. They just ignore the javascript and allow the empty form to be emailed.

Form validationhaving had a number of responses to my initial request for a template for a simple client-side JavaScript form with basic field validation it seems that this simple request is far from simple.so, collating all of the not-so-simple comments that I have had heres a revised request
Is there anywhere that I can find a template JS script that will provide me with a form that has the most basic of fields on it first name, surname, telephone.e-mail etc that comes with field validation? The users will predominantly have hotmail, yahoo etc e-mail addresses Not all of them will have IE web browsers Not all of them will have Outlook Express as their mail client
The form fields MUST BE VALIDATED ON THE CLIENT-SIDE as there is no server-sideaccess and the site that the form is then be posted to will only accept validated field data. Or would it be simpler for someone to provide me with plans for a engine that would provide light-speed.?

I have some problems with validating form in javascript.
I have a following HTML code:
What I want in validation is to check all the field in form (check for required fields etc). I want to show user error message in div tag with id='poruka'.
Part of code of function ValidirajFormu:
So, validation works OK, but message is not written in div tag. Only if all fields are correct, form is submited, but there are no error message.

I am having difficulty with my javascript data validation for a birthday field. The error is coming up correctly, but the result is never returned as true. Even if I enter the date correctly, the error "Invalid date! The correct date format is like '01/01/2004'. Please try again." comes up. This data validation is for a contact form that i've developed for a personal site. Can someone please stear me in the right direction? I feel as if this is a simple syntax error, but I have looked at it for hours and cannot seem to find any error in script or the functions.Here is the code:

I need this function to accept decimal values (e.g., 2.5 ok, not just whole numbers between 1 and 5).
I can't find this answer...

I need to invoke a method when a field validation is either successful or unsuccessful. I have managed to get the function to run if the field validation fails by using the following:
$('#myform').validate({
rules: {
client_name: {
[code]....
But how do I invoke a method specific to a field that triggers when the field validates successfully? I need to invoke showBigGreenTick(fieldname) for the fields that are validOn another note, I find it very strange the the documentation is so poor regarding this validation. To even find out that there was a "messages" option for validate was found on another website.
