I'm currently developing an online work brief, where the user has to enter details regarding the project into a form. I've come to a section in the form where the user has the option of selecting between two checkboxes and an input element. I have to ensure that at least one of the checkboxes have been checked or that the input element is not empty. I've come up with this function:
function validateMedia(){ var count = 0; if(document.workBrief.mediaOnline.checked){ count++; } if(document.workBrief.mediaPrint.checked){ count++; } if(document.workBrief.mediaOther.value != ""){ count++; } if(count 0){ return true; }else{ alert('Please choose at least one media option'); return false; }}
I'm sure there is a more effiecient way of writing this.
I just got a checkbox form to validate, but the name of the checkbox group is a variable from PHP. so I have to pass the name of the checkbox in the parameter like function checkForm(inputName). The browser said it is a null object(inputName), anybody helps? Easy for you guys here, so just give me a hint.
Why is it when I have multiple "list" values the function works fine but when there is only one "list" value it tells me to "Select a Record" even when it is selected.
Code:
<script> function listValuesexcel(form) { var cbs = form["list[]"];
I have a script where checkboxes are created dynamically and I want to make sure the user have selected at least two options. I found this script which works fine, but it only checks if at least one checkbox is selected. How can I modify it so it has to be at least two? Code:
I have six checkboxes. once u choose checkboxes and click submit, those checkboxes which are checked will be posted and inserted into database. How can I write the javascript?
I need to validate a TOS checkbox on a form that has other non-required checkboxes. I am trying to use a bit of javascript described in this thread:
[URL]
The follow code I have in the <HEAD> section is this:
Code: <SCRIPT language=JavaScript> function checkCheckbox (f,name,require) { var checked = 0, e, i = 0 while (e = f.elements[i++]) {if (e.type == 'checkbox' && e.className == name && e.checked) checked++}
I am trying to display/hide different div tags when a checkbox is checked and when a California is selected as a drop-down value. I have it working when the check-box is selected and choosing the drop-down value, but not when the drop-down is selected and clicking the check-box.I hope this is an easy fix and my newbie-ness is at fault.
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!-- function show(obj) {
I very new to JavaScript and I need to validate a text field after a checkbox has been clicked. This is part of a larger form validation. I am looking for the simplest and easy solution to this issue. I have seen a couple of other examples that are far too complicated for the my needs. The form is asking a user to identify a referral source. If the referral source is a website, it wants the user to provide a URL. To clarify, all it needs to do is verify that if the website checkbox is clicked then there is text in the corresponding textbox. Here's what i'am been trying to make work
I'm trying to have my webform validate a checkbox, here is the code: Part of the form:
Code: <div class="ctrlHolder"> <label for="Checkbox"><em>*</em> I have read and agree to the Terms of Service</a></label> <input name="checkbox" id="checkbox" value="" type="checkbox" class="required validate_checkbox" /> </div> The Validator class: Required Code:
[Code]...
But it's not working, it tells me that the field is not filled in correctly, but checking the box doesn't make it work.
that a javascript which is validating a phone number accepts only digits but if the text field is left empty it should accept the entry as an empty entry...
I am trying to make several fields in a HTML form validated, but only when a dynamic checkbox is selected. I am not sure how to do this.
Here is a snippet of the dynamic checkbox code: <% Set RSLIST = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") SQLLIST = "SELECT * FROM Newsletters ORDER BY Newsletter_Name" RSLIST.Open SQLLIST, Conn, 1, 3 %> <%Do While Not RSLIST.EOF%> <input type="checkbox" name="Newsletters" value="<%=RSLIST("ID")%>"><%=RSLIST("Newsletter_Name")%>
I would like to make three fields (company, phone_work, license) mandatory when one of the "ID" (i.e. ID 2) is checked.
I have a textbox and 2 checkbox, and I'd like to validate the textbox if at least one of the two checkbox is selected. If is just one checkbox, I'll write: myTextboxl: { required: '#myFirstCheckbox:checked' } but in the case of 2 checkbox, how can I solve?
I have a simple form which I am running a validation on a single text box (as shown below, adapted from the milk example).
$(document).ready(function() { // validate signup form on keyup and submit var validator = $("#updateModules").validate({ rules: { guestbookContact: { required: true, email: true }, }, // the errorPlacement has to take the table layout into account errorPlacement: function(error, element) { if ( element.is(":radio") ) error.appendTo( element.parent().next().next() ); else if ( element.is(":checkbox") ) error.appendTo ( element.next() ); else error.appendTo( element.parent().next() ); }, // specifying a submitHandler prevents the default submit, good for the demo submitHandler: function() { form.submit(); }, // set this class to error-labels to indicate valid fields success: function(label) { // set as text for IE label.html(" ").addClass("checked"); }});
Now I only want to validate the text box if the checkbox "requireEmail" is checked. Is there an easy way to do this?
I need to do a clientside check of a form to see if a "required" multiselect list and a checkbox have been left blank or not. To clarify, the user is required to select either one or more options from the multiselect list, the checkbox, or a combination of both.
What they can't do is leave both of them blank. Both the multiselect and the checkbox pass values to a PHPList script on the server as if they were one multiselect with the name "attribute17[]".
***Disclaimer - I am a total javascript noob and am piecing together examples from several days (and long nights) of googling.***
I'm dealing with a very long subscribe form, and so far I've been successful with figuring out the code to validate emails, select dropdowns, and checkboxes. This combination multiselect and checkbox is the last piece of the form that is giving me trouble. Hopefully somebody here has a solution.
For simplicity I've reduced the javascript and the form down to just the part I'm still having trouble with. Here is a piece of the javascript that I'm trying to use:
Code: <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> function checkform() { if(document.subscribeform.elements["attribute17[]"].value == "") { alert("Please select your Primary Work Locations");
I am trying to come up with a script that will validate a radio group based upon the status of a checkbox.If box is checked radio button is required else it can stay false.here is as far as I have gotten so far. just a basic if statement but i need to incorporate the check box
Code:
function validate_form ( ) { valid = true;[code]......
I am trying to validate a form with a couple of elements being required if a checkbox is NOT checked. Now if I submit the form the rules fire - and then I check the checkbox on - the validation rules have already fired - and even though the checkbox is now checked - the validation rules still apply and the form will not submit until I enter the fields.What I was hoping was that the checkbox could toggle the rules on or off.
var validator = $(".cmxform").validate({ rules: { txtAddress1: {
I have a fairly straightforward form with validation on a number of fields, all of which is working fine.
I have credit card information fields being validated only if a Payment Method radio button is set to 'Visa' or 'Mastercard', and this is also working correctly.
These input names don't appear anywhere else in the HTML document and they're not validated fields, however if either of them are checked, the conditional credit card validation no longer fires, although the remaining non-conditional validation on the page continues to work as normal.
EDIT: It would appear that if *any* of the radio buttons on the form are selected, the payment information validation is disabled.
I'm at a loss as to explain what's happening. I'm leaning towardsinput[#payment_method]:checked syntax, and specifically the :checked syntax as potentially causing the issue
I have the checkbox validation. I have it set onClick, this works perfectly with both the mouse click and also if the space bar is used to select the option, which is great. However if a user simply 'tabs' over the option it doesn't validate real time. The solution I came up with was adding a onKeyDown event to trigger the same function.
I must be missing something, is there not an easy way to validate inline?
For example, I have a required text input that is given focus on page load, I would like for it to throw an error if the user moves to the next field w/o entering any data.
im loading data via json dynamical from the server. Now i try to optimate the speed of my application and so i want to disable the validate of the fields during the data loading from the server.Is there a simple solution to this? like validate = false
I have a form (form1) to register with the fields: user, email, password being validated normally.
Have a second form (Form2) to the user update the data registered in form1, and the fields user, email, password is already populated with data from the database, the email field I use the remote validation, and as the field already has been completed and read always says that this email already exists, how do I create a rule or method so that when the field is already filled it not do so validating and validate if it is filled with a new email. Email2 have a hidden field in order to do a test type.
I'm working under certain constraints wherein,at a certain point outside my direct control,validate is called with no arguments, but after that I want to set a custom validation function on a form field. I figure there's got to be a way to manipulate validate's internal data structure to add the function, but I don't have a clue as to how.
I have a section of a form containing elements that are not visible, currently just in a hidden div. Some of these elements have validation on them so when the form is submitted it fails on this validation.What I am after is a way to stop the validation firing for any hidden elements. I have tried setting them to 'display: none' and 'visibility: hidden' but this does not have any affect.
