I've been working on this assignment for the longest while. My form validations weren't working previously but then I found out what the error was & everything was working perfectly.
Later on, I had made some changes to the code then deleted those changes and now the validations aren't working again & I can't seem to find what the problem is this time.
Below is my unfinished code:
function validateEmail() {
var email = document.getElementById('email').value;
if( email==null || email=="")
{
alert("Please input an email address");
}
}
function validateFName() {
var firstname = document.getElementById('firstname').value;
if( firstname==null || firstname=="")
{
alert("Please input a last name");
return false;
}
}
function validateLName() {
var lastname = document.getElementById('lastname').value;
if( lastname==null || lastname=="")
{
alert("Please input a last name");
}
}
function validateGender() {
var gender = document.getElementById('gender').value;
if( gender==null || gender=="")
{
alert("Please select a gender");
}
}
function validateDate() {
var date = document.getElementById('date').value;
if( date==null || date=="")
{
alert("Please select a date");
}
}
function validateVName() {
var vname = document.getElementById('vname').value;
if( vname==null || vname=="")
{
alert("Please input a victim's name");
}
}
function validateVEmail() {
var vemail = document.getElementById('vemail').value;
if( vemail==null || vemail=="")
{
alert("Please input a victim's email");
}
}

typo in function name, onclick="validateFName()...
it should be validateLName()
and you define duplicate
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html> // remove this one
The best possible solution would be to not use any alert boxes at all but instead embed the error message next to the place of the error, but that would be more involved. Instead, to stick with this solution, first add an id to your submit button:
<button type="submit" id="truth-submit">Submit</button>
Then, attach an onclick handler through JavaScript (and rewrite your code to be more re-usable):
// Only run when the window fully loads
window.addEventListener("load", function() {
function validateEmail() {
var email = document.getElementById("email").value;
if (email === null || email === "") {
return "Please input an email address";
}
return "";
}
function validateFName() {
var firstname = document.getElementById("firstname").value;
if (firstname === null || firstname === "") {
return "Please input an first name";
}
return "";
}
function validateLName() {
var lastname = document.getElementById("lastname").value;
if (lastname === null || lastname === "") {
return "Please input an last name";
}
return "";
}
function validateGender() {
var gender = document.getElementById("gender").value;
if (gender === null || gender === "") {
return "Please select a gender";
}
return "";
}
function validateDate() {
var date = document.getElementById("date").value;
if (date === null || date === "") {
return "Please select a date";
}
return "";
}
function validateVName() {
var vname = document.getElementById("vname").value;
if (vname === null || vname === "") {
return "Please input a victim's name";
}
return "";
}
function validateVEmail() {
var vemail = document.getElementById("vemail").value;
if (vemail === null || vemail === "") {
return "Please input a victim's email";
}
return "";
}
document.getElementById("truth-submit").addEventListener("click", function(event) {
// Grab all of the validation messages
var validationMessages = [validateFName(), validateLName(),
validateGender(), validateDate(), validateVName(), validateVEmail()];
var error = false;
// Print out the non-blank ones
validationMessages.forEach(function(message) {
if (message) {
alert(message);
error = true;
}
});
// Stop submission of the form if an error occurred
if (error) {
event.preventDefault();
}
}, false);

When I debug it, I can see that upon entering this page on my browser, the function "validateForm()" is being called, and also called again when I click the submit button. Why is it being called upon entering ?
I tried debugging it and I could see that upon entering the page, it jumps straight into validateForm and does all of the code inside of it, where instead, it should only perform the code inside of it if the user hits the submit button at the bottom of the page. I guess it registers the button from the previous stage as the submit button for some reason.
Use the submit event instead of the click event on the form.
<form onsubmit="return validateForm();">
Okay, I'm trying to get a contact form to work and it is, sort of. The data is passing through, but I can't get the jQuery to work. If I type in two different email addresses it doesn't catch it. Here is the relevant code I used:
HTML
<aside>
<form action="sendmail.php" method="post" name="contact_form" id="contact_form">
<fieldset>
<legend>sign up now!</legend><br>
<p>Sign up for my email list and get a free mini coloring book!</p><br>
<img src="Images/minicoloirngbook.jpg" alt="mini coloring book"><br>
<label for="name"> Name:</label>
<input type="text"name="name" id="name" required><span>*</span><br>
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" required><span>*</span><br>
<label for="verify">Verify Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="verify" id="verify" required> <span>*</span><br>
<div id="buttons">
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Sign Up">
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</aside>
and here is the Javascript:
$("#contact_form").submit(event => {
let isValid = true;
// validate the first name entry
const name = $("#name").val().trim();
if (name == "") {
$("#name").next().text("This field is required.");
isValid = false;
} else {
$("#name").next().text("");
}
$("#name").val(name);
// validate the email entry with a regular expression
const emailPattern = /\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}\b/;
const email = $("#email").val().trim();
if (email == "") {
$("#email").next().text("This field is required.");
isValid = false;
} else if ( !emailPattern.test(email) ) {
$("#email").next().text("Must be a valid email address.");
isValid = false;
} else {
$("#email").next().text("");
}
$("#email").val(email);
// validate the verify entry
const verify = $("#verify").val().trim();
if (verify == "") {
$("#verify").next().text("This field is required.");
isValid = false;
} else if (verify !== email) {
$("#verify").next().text("Must match first email entry.");
isValid = false;
} else {
$("#verify").next().text("");
}
$("#verify").val(verify);
// prevent the submission of the form if any entries are invalid
if (isValid == false) {
event.preventDefault();
}
}),
I think that the answer is probably something really simple that I can't see and would appreciate your help in figuring it out.
This should do it. Here is the jsfiddle if you like to play with the code: https://jsfiddle.net/bogatyr77/xk6ez3aq/7/
$("form").submit(function(e) {
var name = $("#a").val();
if (name == "") {
$("#nameerror").text("This field is required.");
alert('false');
} else {
alert('true');
$("#nameerror").remove();
}
//email1
var emailPattern = /\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}\b/;
const email = $("#b").val();
if (email == "") {
$("#email1error").text("This field is required.");
isValid = false;
} else if (!emailPattern.test(email)) {
$("#email1error").text("Must be a valid email address.");
isValid = false;
} else {
$("#email1error").remove();
}
//eamil 2
var verify = $("#c").val();
if (verify == "") {
$("#email2error").text("This field is required.");
isValid = false;
} else if (verify !== email) {
$("#email2error").text("Must match first email entry.");
isValid = false;
} else {
$("#email2error").remove();
}
if (isValid == false) {
event.preventDefault();
}
})

So I have this piece of HTML and JavaScript
function validate() {
const tabs = document.getElementsByClassName("tab");
const input = tabs[currentTab].querySelectorAll("input[type=tel], input[type=text], input[type=time], input[type=number], input[type=email]");
const radio = tabs[currentTab].querySelectorAll("input[type=radio]");
const select = tabs[currentTab].getElementsByTagName("select");
let valid = true;
if (radio.length == 0) {
for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (input[i].value == "") {
valid = false;
break;
}
}
for (let i = 0; i < select.length; i++) {
if (select[i].value == "") {
valid = false;
break;
}
}
} else if (radio[0].name == "phnum" && radio[0].checked) {
if (input[0].value == "" || input[1].value == "") {
valid = false;
}
} else if (radio[1].name == "phnum" && radio[1].checked) {
if (input[0].value == "" || input[1].value == "" || input[2].value == "") {
valid = false;
}
}
if (valid) {
document.getElementById("next").className = "prevNext";
}
}
<span id="radio">

that handles the input added by the user to make a button clickable if all necessary data is added. the problem is when i delete inside the input with back arrow key(the one above enter) the button remains active even if the condition for its activation no longer applies.
thank you guys for your time and help i really do appreciate it. :D
One thing I see - you're setting the class name if valid == true via document.getElementById("next").className = "prevNext";.
But nowhere are you removing that class name if valid == false.
That's probably why you aren't seeing the button disappear when you empty out the fields (if I understand your problem correctly).
if (!valid) { document.getElementById("next").className = ""; } is a quick and dirty way to get what you need.
The phone number and the email must be valid.
This is a basic popup contact form without the phone number validation. I would like to validate the phone number. I heard about regex but i´m not sure how to implement in the code.
Since i don´t understand javascrip yet i hope you can help me.
<form action="#" method="post" id="form">

<a id="submit" href="javascript: check_empty()">Send</a>
</form>
function check_empty(){
if(document.getElementById('company').value == ""
|| document.getElementById('name').value == ""
||document.getElementById('email').value == ""
||document.getElementById('phone').value == "" ){
alert ("Please, fill the fields!");
}
else {
document.getElementById('form').submit();
}
}
//function to display Popup
function div_show(){
document.getElementById('abc').style.display = "block";
}
//function to check target element
function check(e){
var target = (e && e.target) || (event && event.srcElement);
var obj = document.getElementById('abc');
var obj2 = document.getElementById('popup');
checkParent(target)?obj.style.display='none':null;
target==obj2?obj.style.display='block':null;
}
//function to check parent node and return result accordingly
function checkParent(t){
while(t.parentNode){
if(t==document.getElementById('abc'))

How to print error message under respective input field if left empty and error message must be removed when filled, how to proceed further i have not used javascript for validation earlier.

You can try this code:
It will check errors and returns at last after displaying all error messages if any.
function validateForm() {
var error = 0;
var a = document.forms["student_reg"]["name"].value;
document.getElementById('name_error').innerHTML = '';
if (a == null || a == "") {
// alert("Name must be filled out");
error++;
document.getElementById('name_error').innerHTML = 'Name must be filled out';
}
var b = document.forms["student_reg"]["email"].value;
document.getElementById('email_error').innerHTML = '';
if (b == null || b == "") {
// alert("Email must be filled out");
error++;
document.getElementById('email_error').innerHTML = 'Email must be filled out';
}
var c = document.forms["student_reg"]["username"].value;
document.getElementById('username_error').innerHTML = '';
if (c == null || c == "") {
// alert("Username must be filled out");
error++;
document.getElementById('username_error').innerHTML = 'Username must be filled out';
}
var d = document.forms["student_reg"]["password"].value;
document.getElementById('password_error').innerHTML = '';
if (d == null || d == "") {
// alert("Password must be filled out");
error++;
document.getElementById('password_error').innerHTML = 'Password must be filled out';
}
var e = document.forms["student_reg"]["roll_no"].value;
document.getElementById('roll_no_error').innerHTML = '';
if (e == null || e == "") {
// alert("Roll no must be filled out");
error++;
document.getElementById('roll_no_error').innerHTML = 'Roll no must be filled out';
}
if(error>0) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
Keep all the name attributes in array and validate in loop. As your ID is related to name attribute, concatenate the name with _error to get the ID of the error placeholder.
function validateForm() {
var names = ['name', 'email', 'username', 'password', 'roll_no'];
var errorCount = 0;
names.forEach(function(el) {
var val = document.forms["student_reg"][el].value;
if (val == null || val == "") {
document.getElementById(el + '_error').textContent = el.toUpperCase().replace('_', ' ') + " must be filled out";
++errorCount;
}
});
if (errorCount) return false;
}
<form name="student_reg" method="POST" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<p>NAME:</p>
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<span class="error"><p id="name_error"></p></span>

You can iterate through all elements of the form student_reg to validate email and required and print error message under respective input field if no value was set:
const validateForm = () => {
const form = document.forms['student_reg'],
inputs = [...form.getElementsByTagName('input')],
errors = [...form.getElementsByClassName('error')],
regex = /\S+#\S+\.\S+/,
setErrorMsg = (str, msg) => `${str.replace('_', ' ')} ${msg}`
let countErrors = 0
inputs.forEach((input, index) => {
// clear all errors
(errors[index] || '').innerHTML = ''
// validate email
if (input.name === 'email' && !regex.test(input.value)) {
errors[index].innerText = setErrorMsg(input.name, 'should be valid')
countErrors++
}
// validate required
if (!input.value) {
errors[index].innerText = setErrorMsg(input.name, 'field is required')
countErrors++
}
})
return countErrors === 0
}
p {
font-size: 13px;
margin: 4px 0 0;
}
.error {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 6px 0 4px;
color: red;
display: block
}
.error:first-letter {
text-transform: uppercase
}
button {
margin-top: 8px;
font-size: 16px;
}
<form name="student_reg" method="POST" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<p>NAME:</p>
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<span class="error"></span>
<p>EMAIL:</p>
<input type="text" name="email" value="">
<span class="error"></span>

</form>
simple form It hold the Span for the Error msg.The span Id is very important here.you need to make color for errors using css
<form id="loginform" name="loginform" action="" method="post">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="username" />
<p></p>
<span id="usernameError"></span>
<p></p>
<label>Pwd</label>
<input type="password" name="password" />
