I have a form that uses javascript form validation and instead of listing each variable and what to validate it against per variable, I am trying to combine all of those variables into one variable and then have them validate against a singular list of elements.
I was trying initially to assign all of the input fields to a class and have them validate against the class instead of the name element but I could not get that to work so I am trying this.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["input1"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["input2"].value;
var z = x + y;
if (z == "123CODE" || z == "125CODE") {
return true;}
else if (z != "123CODE" || z != "125CODE") {
alert("Please enter a valid code"); return false;}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" action="demo_form.asp"
onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="input1">
<input type="text" name="input2">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This will be your javascript submit function:
DEMO
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["input1"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["input2"].value;
var z = x + y;
if (z == "123CODE" || z == "125CODE")
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert("Please enter a valid code");
return false;
}
}
Simultaneously if your code is not case sensitive you can write your if condition as -
if (z.trim().toLowerCase() == "123code" || z.trim().toLowerCase() == "125code")
if (z.search("123CODE")>0 || z.search("125CODE")>0)
{
}
you can write if statement like this if the search result is > 0 then condition will be true otherwise false.

Concise way to compare against multiple values [duplicate]
(8 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
i need a help for javascript.
For example i have an x value and i want to two or multiple values equal to x in if statement.
if x equals to apple or pear or banana it writes "fruits". How can i do this?
I've tried || and && operators. I tried to put "," and ";" between the values.
<form name="formname" action="send.php" method="post" onsubmit="return confirm();">
Type your name : <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
<script>
function confirm() {
var x = document.formname.name.value;
if (x == "") {
alert("You need to fill here!");
return false;
}
else if (x == "Lisa" /* and a little more names... */) {
alert("You can't enter here");
return false;
}
else {
alert("Welcome");
return false;
}
}
</script>
When I put "," between values in "else if" statement and when I type else name from "else if" statement, it writes "You can't enter here" again. But i except it will write "Welcome".
function confirm() {
var x = document.formname.name.value;
if (x == "") {
alert("You need to fill here!");
return false;
} else if (x == "Lisa" || x == "value2" || x == "value3") {
alert("You can't enter here");
return false;
} else {
alert("Welcome");
return false;
}
}
<form name="formname" action="send.php" method="post" onsubmit="return confirm();">
Type your name : <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
I made this code which submits a form with a name and age field with a submit button. My code looks like this:
function checkForm() {
var name = document.forms["form"]["name"].value;
var age = document.forms["form"]["age"].value;
var regName = /^[A-Z]*[a-z]{3,} $/;
var regAge = /^[\d.*]{1,} $/;
if (name == regName && age == regAge) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
<form name="form" action="register.php" method="POST" onsubmit="return checkForm()">
<p>Name:</p>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">
<br>
<p>Age:</p>
<input type="text" name="age" id="age">
<br>
<br>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
The name should be using only upper case and lower case letters and the age must be numerical and a positive integer.
Supposedly, when I entered the wrong data, the form should not return false but its returning true and sending me through to register.php. Is there something wrong with my code?
Try evaluating regex With pattern.test('stringMethod')
function checkForm(event){
var name = document.forms["form"]["name"].value;
var age = document.forms["form"]["age"].value;
var regName = /^[A-Z]*[a-z]{3,} $/;
var regAge = /^[\d.*]{1,} $/;
if (regName.test(name) && regAge.test(age)){
return true;
} else{
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
}
Try to add event.preventDefault(); when the data is invalid.
function checkForm(event){
var name = document.forms["form"]["name"].value;
var age = document.forms["form"]["age"].value;
var regName = /^[A-Z]*[a-z]{3,} $/;
var regAge = /^[\d.*]{1,} $/;
if (name == regName && age == regAge){
return true;
} else{
event.preventDefault();
return false;
}
}
Form default behaviour is like that if you are calling a function on submit it will get submit. So you can call the function on button submit.
<button type="submit" name="submit" onsubmit="return checkForm()">Submit</button>
<head>
function search() {
var n = document.getElementById("search");
if(n === A || n === B) {
location.href = "search.php";
return true;
} else {
alert "Enter Correct value ...";
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
I'm using this code for verify entered value and after verification I want call php page to get the entered value for further task
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="search" onsubmit="search()" name="bg">
</form>
</body>
Not 100% sure what your asking!
If you are trying to get the value of the input field you need to change your document.getElementid("search");
To document.getElementid("search").value;
As this will be a string you will also need to change your if statement to make sure the value is equal to a 'A' ||'B'
Try this code : why you are not using opening script tag
< script > tag after < head >
<head>
</script>
function search() {
var n = document.getElementById("search");
if(n === A || n === B) {
location.href = "search.php";
return true;
} else {
alert "Enter Correct value ...";
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<head>
<script>
function search_bloodgroup(){
var bloodgroup = document.getElementById("search").value;
if(bloodgroup ==="a+"|| bloodgroup ==="A+" || bloodgroup ==="aplus" || bloodgroup ==="APLUS"){
alert("true");
return true;
}
else {
alert("Enter Correct");
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit="search_bloodgroup()" action="">
<input type="text" id="search" name="bg"></input>
<input type='submit'></input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
This works fine hopefully this will help.
I'm trying to figure out how to make the alert code "First and Last Name must be filled out" if both of the fields of the form have no information inserted. I know how to do them individually, but how do you do make an alert code for both messages combined on one line? I am pretty new to Javascript..
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["lname"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
alert("First Name is missing information");
return false;
}
else (y == null || y == "") {
alert("Last Name is missing information")
return false;
}
else (x == null || x == "" && y == null || y == "") {
alert("First and Last name are missing information")
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" action="demo_form.asp"
onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Delete all your JavaScript.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="demo_form.asp" method="post">
First Name: <input type="text" name="fname" required /><br />
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lname" required /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Notice the required attribute on the form.
Don't use JavaScript to do HTML's job.
Your logic needs to be reversed so that the case where both are null is checked first or the code will never get to it because either the x or y case happens first. Try:
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["fname"].value;
var y = document.forms["myForm"]["lname"].value;
var emptyX = x == null || x == "";
var emptyY = y == null || y == "";
if (emptyX && emptyY) {
alert("First and Last name are missing information")
return false;
}
else (emptyX) {
alert("First Name is missing information");
return false;
}
else (emptyY) {
alert("Last Name is missing information")
return false;
}
You should move your final else statement to the top. As your code currently exists, both fields will not be checked if either the first or last names are found to be empty.
Alternatively, you could add logic in each of x and y to check if the other is not empty but this isn't necessary if you just reverse the code.
<script type='text/javascript'>
function required()
{
var empt = document.forms["form1"]["Name"].value;
if (empt == "")
{
alert("Please input a Value");
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="form1" method="" action="">
<input type="text" name="name" value="Name"/><br />
<input type="text" name="address line1" value="Address Line 1"/><br />
I have more than one input text field, each having their default value. Before I submit the form I have to verify whether all fields are filled. So far i got the javascript to check for null since different text boxes have different default value. How can I write a javascript to verify that user has entered data? I mean, the script must identify that input data is other than default and null.
If you are not using jQuery then I would simply write a validation method that you can be fired when the form is submitted. The method can validate the text fields to make sure that they are not empty or the default value. The method will return a bool value and if it is false you can fire off your alert and assign classes to highlight the fields that did not pass validation.
HTML:
<form name="form1" method="" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm(this)">
<input type="text" name="name" value="Name"/><br />
<input type="text" name="addressLine01" value="Address Line 1"/><br />
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
JavaScript:
function validateForm(form) {
var nameField = form.name;
var addressLine01 = form.addressLine01;
if (isNotEmpty(nameField)) {
if(isNotEmpty(addressLine01)) {
return true;
{
{
return false;
}
function isNotEmpty(field) {
var fieldData = field.value;
if (fieldData.length == 0 || fieldData == "" || fieldData == fieldData) {
field.className = "FieldError"; //Classs to highlight error
alert("Please correct the errors in order to continue.");
return false;
} else {
field.className = "FieldOk"; //Resets field back to default
return true; //Submits form
}
}
The validateForm method assigns the elements you want to validate and then in this case calls the isNotEmpty method to validate if the field is empty or has not been changed from the default value. it continuously calls the inNotEmpty method until it returns a value of true or if the conditional fails for that field it will return false.
Give this a shot and let me know if it helps or if you have any questions. of course you can write additional custom methods to validate numbers only, email address, valid URL, etc.
If you use jQuery at all I would look into trying out the jQuery Validation plug-in. I have been using it for my last few projects and it is pretty nice. Check it out if you get a chance. http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
<form name="myForm" id="myForm" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm();">
First Name: <input type="text" id="name" /> <br />
<span id="nameErrMsg" class="error"></span> <br />
<!-- ... all your other stuff ... -->
</form>
<p>
1.word should be atleast 5 letter<br>
2.No space should be encountered<br>
3.No numbers and special characters allowed<br>
4.letters can be repeated upto 3(eg: aa is allowed aaa is not allowed)
</p>
<button id="validateTestButton" value="Validate now" onclick="validateForm();">Validate now</button>
validateForm = function () {
return checkName();
}
function checkName() {
var x = document.myForm;
var input = x.name.value;
var errMsgHolder = document.getElementById('nameErrMsg');
if (input.length < 5) {
errMsgHolder.innerHTML =
'Please enter a name with at least 5 letters';
return false;
} else if (!(/^\S{3,}$/.test(input))) {
errMsgHolder.innerHTML =
'Name cannot contain whitespace';
return false;
}else if(!(/^[a-zA-Z]+$/.test(input)))
{
errMsgHolder.innerHTML=
'Only alphabets allowed'
}
else if(!(/^(?:(\w)(?!\1\1))+$/.test(input)))
{
errMsgHolder.innerHTML=
'per 3 alphabets allowed'
}
else {
errMsgHolder.innerHTML = '';
return undefined;
}

For multiple elements you can pass inside your input elements loop their value into that function argument.
If a user inserted one or more spaces, thanks to the regex s+ the function will return false.
<pre><form name="myform" action="saveNew" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />
<input type="submit"/>
</form></pre>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
var frmvalidator = new Validator("myform");
frmvalidator.EnableFocusOnError(false);
frmvalidator.EnableMsgsTogether();
frmvalidator.addValidation("name","req","Plese Enter Name");
</script>
before using above code you have to add the gen_validatorv31.js js file
For flexibility and other places you might want to validated. You can use the following function.
`function validateOnlyTextField(element) {
var str = element.value;
if(!(/^[a-zA-Z, ]+$/.test(str))){
// console.log('String contain number characters');
str = str.substr(0, str.length -1);
element.value = str;
}
}`
Then on your html section use the following event.
<input type="text" id="names" onkeyup="validateOnlyTextField(this)" />
You can always reuse the function.
