I'm creating a form and validating it with JS. I want to make the email id optional. Either i can be left blank or filled. But i want to validate the email id only if the something's typed in the field. And i must use regexe.
"email":{
"regex":"/^([\.a-z0-9_\-]+[#][a-z0-9_\-]+([.][a-z0-9_\-]+)+[a-z]{1,4}$)/i",
"alertText":"* Invalid email address"}
What are the changes should me made here?
You'd have to do a two step validation I think. Apply a different validation check for the email field if its empty.
Since it's Javascript can you do something like:
if (str === '') {
validations['email'] = {}
} else {
validations['email'] = {
// email validation
}
}
I don't know of any other way to do it then that. Maybe there's something you can do with a regex like a condition check but considering how regex work I don't think that it is possible.
Try this
var $email = $('form input[name="email'); //change form to id or containment selector
var re = /[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}/igm;
if ($email.val() != '' && !re.test($email.val()))
{
alert('Please enter a valid email address.');
return false;
}
Try it :
if(email.length > 0) {
//Test Email is Valid Or Not
}
Final code :
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Enter Email : <input type="text" id="txt">
<button onclick="isValid()">Test</button>
<script>
var ele = document.getElementById("txt");
function isValid(){
var email = ele.value;
var patt = /^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+\.[a-z]{1,4}$/i;
if(email.length > 0) {
if(patt.test(email))
alert("Valid Address Email");
else
alert("Invalid address Email");
}
else
alert("Email is Empty : Valid Address Email");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

I have to validate E-Mail address using either JS or JQ.
Right now I am using JS but unable to pass the value of the text box as the parameter for JS. I want this to be implemented onchange.
I found solutions only using a button to validate which i don't want to.
Here is the HTML code.
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Father's E-Mail Address</label>
<input maxlength="30" pattern=".{1,50}" onchange="validateEmail(document.getElementById('txtFatherEmail').value);" title="Input Invalid" type="text" required="required" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Father's E-Mail Address" id="txtFatherEmail" runat="server"/>
</div>
Here is the JS I have used.
function validateEmail(email) {
var emailReg = 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);
var valid = emailReg.test(email);
if (!valid) {
alert("False");
} else {
alert("True");
}
}
Also I would like to know if there's any better way to do this.
If I understand correctly you want to validate input as you type.
To do this you can use onkeyup event.
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Father's E-Mail Address</label>
<input maxlength="30" pattern=".{1,50}" onkeyup="validateEmail(this.value);" title="Input Invalid" type="text" required="required" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Father's E-Mail Address" id="txtFatherEmail" runat="server"/>
</div>
Why are you using getElementById with "value"? Shouldn't you be using thee jquery syntax? Remember a jquery element is not a javasript don element. Maybe that's the trick...
function isvalid(x){
regexp1 = /#/g
gmail = /gmail.com/g
hotmail = /hotmail.com/g
if(regexp1.test(x) == true){
if(x.match(regexp1).length == 1){
x = x.split("#")
if(gmail.test(x[1]) == true){
if(x[1].match(gmail).length == 1 && x[1].length == 9){
alert("ok valid")
}else{
alert("not valid")
}
}else if(hotmail.test(x[1]) == true){
if(x[1].match(hotmail).length == 1 && x[1].length == 11){
alert("ok valid")
}else{
alert("not valid")
}
}else{
alert("no mail")
}
}else{
alert("too much #")
}
}else{
alert("no #")
}
}
this function is the jquery email check function and it just looks for gmail and hotmail and if you want just to check email from hot and gmail it is the reliable function for it
I'm trying to get my "username" and "password" fields to verify that there is information in them before submitting the form.
What should I need to add to my HTML and to my JavaScript to have them work! If you want to suggest a new JavaScript, please do!
HTML:
<form action="validateForm.html" id="registrationForm">
<label for="username" id="usernameLabel">* Username:</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="Your username" />
<div id="usernameError" style="display:none"></div>
<br/><br/>
<label for="password" id="passwordLabel">* Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" />
<div id="passwordError" style="display:none"></div>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form" id="submit" />
</form>
JavaScript
function validateForm()
{
if(!document.getElementByName("username"))
{
alert("Username field is required!");
}
if(!document.forms[0].username){
alert("Username field is required!");
}
if(!document.for (var i = username.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
alert("Username field is required!")
};)
}
One way would be getting your input by id and then validate its value
HTML
<input type="text" id="username" />
<input type="password" id="password" />
JS
function validateForm()
{
if(!document.getElementById("username").value) // true if input value is null, undefined or ""
{
alert("Username field is required!");
}
else if(!document.getElementById("password").value)
{
alert("Username field is required!");
}
}
(i strongly recommend you to use more attractive ways of giving users feedback than JS alerts)
I think all of those checks are incorrect in some for, let's start with the first one:
if(!document.getElementByName("username"))
{
alert("Username field is required!");
}
It's document.getElementsByName() (notice the plural)
The function returns an array of elements, so you'd still need to check for the value of the one you want (probably 0)
This is going to be true always as the field exist, you need to check the value in the input, but right now you are just checking the existence of the input.
Next one is similar:
if(!document.forms[0].username){
alert("Username field is required!");
}
You are checking the existence of the field, not its value
This type of selection is not recommended, you should be using a document.getElementBy... better.
And finally:
if(!document.for (var i = username.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
alert("Username field is required!")
};)
It looks like you tried to make a for loop but copy-pasted from above and got this mess... not even going to try to understand why the loop.
Recommendations:
Use the attribute id and read the fields using document.getElementById()
To check if a field has content, check its value: .value
Add an event handler for the form (onsubmit="validateForm()")
Make the form validator return false if one of the fields is incorrect (otherwise the form will be sent even with the incorrect fields)
Optionally: use the HTML5 required attribute.
So the function would look like:
function validateForm()
{
if(document.getElementById("username").value == "")
{
alert("Username field is required!");
return false;
}
// check the other fields
// .....
}
May I suggest something like this instead:
HTML:
<form action="validateForm.html" onSubmit="return validateForm(this)">
<label for="username" name="usernameLabel">* Username:</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" placeholder="Your username" />
<div id="usernameError" style="display:none"></div>
<br/><br/>
<label for="password" name="passwordLabel">* Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" />
<div id="passwordError" style="display:none"></div>
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit Form" />
</form>
JS:
function isEmpty (field) {
return field.value === "";
}
function validateForm (form) {
// assume the form to be valid
var isValid = true;
// create a variable to store any errors
var errors = "";
// check if the username is empty
if(isEmpty(form.username)) {
// our assumption is incorrect, the form is invalid
isValid = false;
// append the error message to the string
errors += "Username field is required!\n";
}
if (isEmpty(form.password)) {
isValid = false;
errors += "Password field is required!\n";
}
// display the errors if the form is invalid
if (!isValid) {
alert(errors);
}
return isValid;
}
This way, you are passing the form directly to the validateForm function and can easily access each field using their name properties. You can then check if they're empty by determining what their value contains.
If you need to get the DOM by it name means it will returns an Array so you need to get it by
if(!document.getElementsByName("username")[0].value == ""){
//do ur stuff
}
or
if(!document.getElementById("username").value == ""){
//do ur stuff
}
I my HTMT page, I have a input field which receives an email address

Use String.split(';') to extract emails to array and then loop through array with validator
Required field custom validation
I have one form with many input fields. I have put html5 validations
<input type="text" name="topicName" id="topicName" required />
when I submit the form without filling this textbox it shows default message like
"Please fill out this field"
Can anyone please help me to edit this message?
I have a javascript code to edit it, but it's not working
$(document).ready(function() {
var elements = document.getElementsByName("topicName");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].oninvalid = function(e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("");
if (!e.target.validity.valid) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("Please enter Room Topic Title");
}
};
elements[i].oninput = function(e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("");
};
}
})
Email custom validations
I have following HTML form
<form id="myform">
<input id="email" name="email" type="email" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Validation messages I want like.
Required field: Please Enter Email Address
Wrong Email: 'testing#.com' is not a Valid Email Address. (here, entered email address displayed in textbox)
I have tried this.
function check(input) {
if(input.validity.typeMismatch){
input.setCustomValidity("'" + input.value + "' is not a Valid Email Address.");
}
else {
input.setCustomValidity("");
}
}
This function is not working properly, Do you have any other way to do this? It would be appreciated.

Usage
→ jsFiddle
<input id="email" type="email" required="required" />
InvalidInputHelper(document.getElementById("email"), {
defaultText: "Please enter an email address!",
emptyText: "Please enter an email address!",
invalidText: function (input) {
return 'The email address "' + input.value + '" is invalid!';
}
});
More details
defaultText is displayed initially
emptyText is displayed when the input is empty (was cleared)
invalidText is displayed when the input is marked as invalid by the browser (for example when it's not a valid email address)
You can either assign a string or a function to each of the three properties.
If you assign a function, it can accept a reference to the input element (DOM node) and it must return a string which is then displayed as the error message.

Old answer
You can see the old revision here: https://stackoverflow.com/revisions/16069817/6
You can simply achieve this using oninvalid attribute,
checkout this demo code
<form>
<input type="email" pattern="[^#]*#[^#]" required oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Put here custom message')"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
Codepen Demo: https://codepen.io/akshaykhale1992/pen/yLNvOqP
HTML:
<form id="myform">
<input id="email" oninvalid="InvalidMsg(this);" name="email" oninput="InvalidMsg(this);" type="email" required="required" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
JAVASCRIPT :
function InvalidMsg(textbox) {
if (textbox.value == '') {
textbox.setCustomValidity('Required email address');
}
else if (textbox.validity.typeMismatch){{
textbox.setCustomValidity('please enter a valid email address');
}
else {
textbox.setCustomValidity('');
}
return true;
}
Demo :
http://jsfiddle.net/patelriki13/Sqq8e/
Try this:
$(function() {
var elements = document.getElementsByName("topicName");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
elements[i].oninvalid = function(e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("Please enter Room Topic Title");
};
}
})
I tested this in Chrome and FF and it worked in both browsers.
Man, I never have done that in HTML 5 but I'll try. Take a look on this fiddle.
I have used some jQuery, HTML5 native events and properties and a custom attribute on input tag(this may cause problem if you try to validade your code). I didn't tested in all browsers but I think it may work.
This is the field validation JavaScript code with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('input[required], input[required="required"]').each(function(i, e)
{
e.oninput = function(el)
{
el.target.setCustomValidity("");
if (el.target.type == "email")
{
if (el.target.validity.patternMismatch)
{
el.target.setCustomValidity("E-mail format invalid.");
if (el.target.validity.typeMismatch)
{
el.target.setCustomValidity("An e-mail address must be given.");
}
}
}
};
e.oninvalid = function(el)
{
el.target.setCustomValidity(!el.target.validity.valid ? e.attributes.requiredmessage.value : "");
};
});
});
Nice. Here is the simple form html:
<form method="post" action="" id="validation">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" required="required" requiredmessage="Name is required." />
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required="required" requiredmessage="A valid E-mail address is required." pattern="^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$" />
<input type="submit" value="Send it!" />
</form>
The attribute requiredmessage is the custom attribute I talked about. You can set your message for each required field there cause jQuery will get from it when it will display the error message. You don't have to set each field right on JavaScript, jQuery does it for you. That regex seems to be fine(at least it block your testing#.com! haha)
As you can see on fiddle, I make an extra validation of submit form event(this goes on document.ready too):
$("#validation").on("submit", function(e)
{
for (var i = 0; i < e.target.length; i++)
{
if (!e.target[i].validity.valid)
{
window.alert(e.target.attributes.requiredmessage.value);
e.target.focus();
return false;
}
}
});
I hope this works or helps you in anyway.
This works well for me:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var intputElements = document.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for (var i = 0; i < intputElements.length; i++) {
intputElements[i].oninvalid = function (e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity("");
if (!e.target.validity.valid) {
if (e.target.name == "email") {
e.target.setCustomValidity("Please enter a valid email address.");
} else {
e.target.setCustomValidity("Please enter a password.");
}
}
}
}
});
and the form I'm using it with (truncated):
<form id="welcome-popup-form" action="authentication" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="signup" value="1">
<input type="email" name="email" id="welcome-email" placeholder="Email" required></div>
<input type="password" name="passwd" id="welcome-passwd" placeholder="Password" required>
<input type="submit" id="submitSignup" name="signup" value="SUBMIT" />
</form>
You can do this setting up an event listener for the 'invalid' across all the inputs of the same type, or just one, depending on what you need, and then setting up the proper message.
[].forEach.call( document.querySelectorAll('[type="email"]'), function(emailElement) {
emailElement.addEventListener('invalid', function() {
var message = this.value + 'is not a valid email address';
emailElement.setCustomValidity(message)
}, false);
emailElement.addEventListener('input', function() {
try{emailElement.setCustomValidity('')}catch(e){}
}, false);
});
The second piece of the script, the validity message will be reset, since otherwise won't be possible to submit the form: for example this prevent the message to be triggered even when the email address has been corrected.
Also you don't have to set up the input field as required, since the 'invalid' will be triggered once you start typing in the input.
Here is a fiddle for that: http://jsfiddle.net/napy84/U4pB7/2/
Hope that helps!
Just need to get the element and use the method setCustomValidity.
Example
var foo = document.getElementById('foo');
foo.setCustomValidity(' An error occurred');
Use the attribute "title" in every input tag and write a message on it
you can just simply using the oninvalid=" attribute, with the bingding the this.setCustomValidity() eventListener!
Here is my demo codes!(you can run it to check out!)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>oninvalid</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="https://www.google.com.hk/webhp?#safe=strict&q=" method="post" >
<input type="email" placeholder="xgqfrms#email.xyz" required="" autocomplete="" autofocus="" oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity(`This is a customlised invalid warning info!`)">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
reference link
http://caniuse.com/#feat=form-validation
https://www.w3.org/TR/html51/sec-forms.html#sec-constraint-validation
You can add this script for showing your own message.
<script>
input = document.getElementById("topicName");
input.addEventListener('invalid', function (e) {
if(input.validity.valueMissing)
{
e.target.setCustomValidity("Please enter topic name");
}
//To Remove the sticky error message at end write
input.addEventListener('input', function (e) {
e.target.setCustomValidity('');
});
});
</script>
For other validation like pattern mismatch you can add addtional if else condition
like
else if (input.validity.patternMismatch)
{
e.target.setCustomValidity("Your Message");
}
there are other validity conditions like rangeOverflow,rangeUnderflow,stepMismatch,typeMismatch,valid
use it on the onvalid attribute as follows
oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Special Characters are not allowed')
