Create A Basic Unobtrusive Form Validation Function ?
Nov 3, 2010
I am trying to create a basic unobtrusive form validation function but I am having some issues/questions. Basically I am checking if any of the form fields have <= 3 characters, and if they do so, then I make those fields' backgrounds and borders red. Also in the empty <span> tags I insert an error message. My issues/questions are:
#1: So when I say if (fieldVals<=3) this means that the errors should appear if the values are 1,2 or 3 characters long, right? It does not do that though, when I insert one character in any of the form fields the errors go away, but they should not, right?
#2: How do I cancel the form from submitting if errors are visible and vice versa? When I use the return false when errors are visible, the code does not even run. What is going on? return true does the same.
#3: When I use a submit button(type="submit") instead of just a button(type="button"), the code does not run? What am I doing wrong?
I am not trying to use this on a website, I am just trying to learn how to use unobtrusive javascript. That's why I am only checking for empty fields. If I learn how to do this first, later I will try to add email check, date check etc.

I was reading through a book that talked about unobtrusive javascript, and it gave this example of how to trigger a function instead of using an inline onmouseover event handler.
document.getElementById("RandomElementId").onmouseover=RandomFunction;
I thought this would be cool, but I can't seem to find a way to pass parameters to the function this way. I assumed you just use RandomFunction(parameter1,parameter2); but no go.
Is there a different syntax for this, or does this technique forbid using parameters?

I'm trying to create a simple registration form with ajax validation. I've got the form working almost how I'd like... a message appears on the page with the errors for each field entered incorrectly.
The problem is all the error messages appear in one div together and I would like to have each field have its own div containing only its own error.
I think I need to wrap my error messages in xml and use something like this -
Code:
- but can't seem to get it working
Does anyone know how I should modify my code to do this?
Attached are the 3 I'm currently using
And Here is my code for my ajax page only.

I have been playing with a bit of code I found of the web and it works well, it basicly allows me to create pages and navigate between them all done via JQuery. The one question I have is, how hard is it to add some simple animation to it, such as fadein which if I have read correctly is built into JQuery?
code below:

I have been using this simple js function to validate a field in a form is filled in.
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function SubmitForm()
{
var form = document.formname
if (form.client_id.value.length == 0)
{
alert('Please make a selection from the list');
form.client_id.focus();
}
else
{
form.submit();
}
}
//-->
</script>
Now I have a page with multiple forms and I would like to use the same script to validate depending on which form is submitted. I thought I should be able to do something like this.... but know very little javascript...any suggestions? Code:

If I replace:
Code:
document.val.search_word.value == ""
with
Code:
document.searchform.search_word.value == ""
It works fine, why isnt "val" passing the $frm value to the script?
Code HTML4Strict:
<script>
function checkSearch($frm) {
var val = $frm;
missinginfo = "";
if (document.val.search_word.value == "" ) {
missinginfo += "
- 'Search' was left blank!
";} .....

check out the Social Media "more" button dropdown at:[URL]
It's supposed to grown in size, and then fade the icons up.
In IE, it grows but then does nothing.
The jQuery code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery( function(){
$grown = 0;
jQuery("#more-social").click(function() {

I would like to know how to create a function in an external file for validating the fields of a form. If someone could please provide the code, it'll be real helpful. The form is as follows:
<form name="contactus" action="" method="get" id="form">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="autoName"></br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="autoEmail"></br>
Phone:<input type="integer" name="phone" id="phone"></br>
Date: <input type="text" name="date" id="date"></br>
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="submitclick"></form>

when the user types a FIRST NAME into the first name textbox this should update the paxname with the value and a space.when the user types a LAST NAME into the last name textbox this should update the paxname with the value therefore at the end of the process the paxname will have the full name of the person in order with spaces in between. also i would like the first name and last name values to be changed to proper case ie John Smith once placed into paxname the update process does not have to be instantaneous, it can perhaps update the paxname textbox when the focus is gone from the field in question, dont mind how it works as long as it updates.

I am trying to test out a basic xhtml form using radio buttons and text boxes. I want a user to select one of the radio buttons and have the focus change to the relevant text box where they can enter in the title of their choice.

My first day with jquery, and I've just been playing around a little but have run in to a problem in Firefox.
I've set up a basic form with a name and a button (not submit) and one text field.
All it does right now is open an alert box when the button is clicked. That's fair enough. However, in Firefox, if I have the text field selected and hit enter, it doesn't press the button.
How would I go about making sure the enter key presses the button? I'd like to avoid using onclick and a method in the form if possible. My aim eventually is to post data and return it without a page refresh instead of create an alert box.

I have very basic javascript skills, just started looking into jQuery and jQueryTools to enhance my websites. I have been coding PHP for about 1.5 years.I have a php form with which users can update their purchase order before making a final confirmation and payment.
Thought it would be nice if, instead of using php for redirecting to a success/fail message in a separate php file and redirecting again back to the form with a 3 second delay, I could get a jQuery script to pop up with a success/fail message, so avoiding all the clumsy php redirecting and page refreshing.I've searched for plugins, but they all act on event listeners attached to a submit button or other clickable html element.Ive searched the net for ages and can't find an easily understood explanation and complete example, where a jQuery pop up notification is displayed in response to a php script executing a db update.

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?

I am creating the following using an array called $validate
<script Language="JavaScript">
function validateForm(theForm) {
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[company_name],"Company Name",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[contact_name],"Contact Name",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[phone_number],"Phone Number",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[address],"Address",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[city],"City",true)) return false;
if (!validRequired(theForm.form[zip],"Zip",true)) return false;
return true;
}
</script>
Each field in my form is set to: form[field_name]. This is so when they submit I can grab the form array and it has all the fields they submitted. This seems to cause a problem with this javascript. It gives me an error at the first validRequired where form[company_name] is. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Is it possible to write this as and unobtrusive script in the head of a document?
This is a really long piece of code for being in the html!
<a href="whatever" onmouseover="document.images['s3a'].src='hover.gif'" onmouseout="document.images['s3a'].src='root.gif'" onmousedown="document.images['s3a'].src='active.gif'" onmouseup="document.images['s3a'].src='hover.gif'"><img src="root.gif" name="s3a" height="50" width="50" alt="" border="0"></a>

I have my website www.gebcn.com. If you view source you will see all that I have done, but more importantly my problem. I have the JS code at the top there and I am unable to W3C validate my HTML because of the JS. I am using XHTML strict and would like to stay using it.
The JS I have at the top is my form validation code. I am able to do any validating that I need with this "snippet" of code, I have shrank it from my library version just to use for this newsletter. Until now W3C validating was not important now for some reason it is and I am faced with this problem.
I am not a Javascript guy more of a HTML/CSS guy and I can manipulate JS to suit my needs.
<problem> I have tried to make this "snippet" of JS code an external file but receive multiple errors with the JS calling for the FORM NAME as it is not on the same page. The form NAME=NEWSLETTER is another problem, as W3C says I am unable to use attribute "NAME" in this location. <problem> I would like to keep the JS close to how it is now as I have a library to use this JS over and over again.
