How do I validate a specific string of text for input "promo"?
Here's the script I'm using:
<script>
function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["myInquiry"]["promo"].value;
if (x==null || x=="")
{
alert("Please Enter Promo Code");
return false;
}
}
</script>
Here's the form. Only relevant code.
<form action="contactdummy.php" name="myInquiry" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="promo" type="text" id="promo" size="17" tabindex=4 />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
use input tag for submit the form inside the form element
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />

I'm not getting form values on submit of two forms with the same class.
When I submit one of the forms,
a) Jquery submit event is called but values are empty
b) the submit event is skipped and I'm taken right to the php file where I enter the info into a database
My Jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('body').on('submit', '.newStaff', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var firstName= this.firstName.value;
// do other stuff
//complete AJAX call
});
});
My forms
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
// use other inputs.....
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
// use other inputs.....
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
Am I not binding correctly? Haven't had issues like this before. I've always been able to get unique input values based on the form that was submitted.
my be you can use function eq jquery for this
$(function() {
$('body').on('submit', '.newStaff', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var firstName = $('.newStaff input[name="firstName"]').eq(0).val();
alert(firstName);
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="1 2 3"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<br/>
<form class="newStaff" method="post" action="insertStaff.php">
<input type="text" name="firstName" value="a b c"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
I want to change my form destination based on an input value.
How can I do this?
<form id="form" method="POST" action="x.php" onSubmit="">
<input type="url" id="address" value="google.com">
<input type="submit" id="go" value="Go">
</form>
Example: When I set http://google.com as address value, so send this form to google.com.
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#address").blur(function () {
var form = document.getElementById('form');
form.action = $("#address").val();
});
});
</script>
<form id="form" method="POST" action="x.php" onSubmit="">
<input type="text" id="address" value="google.com">
<input type="submit" id="go" value="Go">
</form>
I use
"How do I get the value of text input field using JavaScript?"
&
"How can I set the form action through JavaScript?" to write my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function get_action(form) {
form.action = 'http://'+document.getElementById("address").value;
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="get_action(this);">
<input type="text" id="address" value="google.com">
<input type="submit" id="go" value="Go">
</form>
I'm a beginner, and I need some help with my assignment. I can't work out what I've done wrong. The label and submit button appear in html, but when I click on the submit button it doesn't validate the form.
My assignment is to produce a form to enter your name. Onsubmit a function to validate the name is called that will validate that the name cannot be blank and must be more than 6 characters.
<html>
<head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" autocomplete="on" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<p><label>First name (required) <input type="text" id="firstName"
autofocus="autofocus" /> </label></p>
</form>
<input type="submit" name="S1" value="Submit response" />
<script>
function validateForm(){
var firstName=document.getElementById("firstName");
if (firstName.value.length<6){
alert("Please enter your first name (6 characters or more)");
firstName.focus();
return false;
}
alert("Thank you for your submission");
return true;
}
</script>
</body>
</head>
</html>
Place submit button inside of form tag
function validateForm() {
var firstName = document.getElementById("firstName");
if (firstName.value.length < 6) {
alert("Please enter your first name (6 characters or more)");
firstName.focus();
return false;
}
alert("Thank you for your submission");
return true;
}
<html>
<head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" autocomplete="on" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<p><label>First name (required)<input type="text" id="firstName"
autofocus="autofocus" /> </label></p>
<input type="submit" name="S1" value="Submit response" />
</form>
</body>
</head>
</html>
The problem with your code is that you try to return a result to an event. Events do not accept any response. So try this;
<html>
<body>
<form name="myForm" autocomplete="on" onsubmit="validateForm()">
<p>
<label>First name (required)</label>
<input type="text" id="firstName" autofocus="autofocus" />
</p>
<input type="submit" name="S1" value="Submit response" />
</form>
<script>
function validateForm(){
var firstName=document.getElementById("firstName");
if (firstName.value.length<6){
alert("Please enter your first name (6 characters or more)");
firstName.focus();
return false;
}
alert("Thank you for your submission");
document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0].submit()
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Besides that, you put your body in your head, this can cause trouble with some browsers.
Your submit button is outside of form tag, that's why the onsubmit method is not gettting called.
Problem was in your code. Remember you have to put submit button under <form></form> tag. And always put JS code in <head></head> section.
Find below code and try hope this will work for you.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm() {
var firstName = document.getElementById("firstName");
if (firstName.value.length < 6) {
alert("Please enter your first name (6 characters or more)");
firstName.focus();
return false;
}
alert("Thank you for your submission");
return true;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" autocomplete="on" onsubmit="return validateForm();">
<p><label>First name (required) <input type="text" id="firstName"
autofocus="autofocus" /> </label></p>
<input type="submit" name="S1" value="Submit response" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I am a novice in web development, I have created a simple html page. The page has two buttons, Submit and Display Data. The Submit button is supposed to post form data to a particular page after validating the form. This button is working fine. I am facing a problem with the Display Data button. The button is supposed to open a separate page and there should not be any kind of form validation. The page is getting open but the form is also getting validated.
The html page:
<html>
<head>
<script>
function validateForm()
{
var name=document.forms["myForm"]["name"].value;
var email=document.forms["myForm"]["email"].value;
var mobile=document.forms["myForm"]["mobile"].value;
var address=document.forms["myForm"]["address"].value;
var atpos=email.indexOf("#");
var dotpos=email.lastIndexOf(".");
if (name==null || name=="")
{
alert("Name must be filled out");
return false;
}
else if (atpos<1 || dotpos<atpos+2 || dotpos+2>=email.length)
{
alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
return false;
}
else if(isNaN(mobile)||mobile.indexOf(" ")!=-1)
{
alert("Enter numeric value")
return false;
}
else if (mobile.length != 10)
{
alert("Enter 10 digit mobile");
return false;
}
else if (mobile.charAt(0)=="0")
{
alert("Mobile no should not start with 0");
return false;
}
else if (address==null || address=="")
{
alert("Address must be filled out");
return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Employee Details Entry</h2>
<form name="myForm" action="insertDisplay.php" onSubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br/>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
Mobile: <input type="text" name="mobile"><br/>
Address: <input type="text" name="address"><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> <button onClick="location.href = 'insertDisplay.php'">Display Data</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Where am I going wrong? Why is the form validation function getting called?
place
<button onClick="location.href = 'insertDisplay.php'">Display Data</button> this line out of the form...
give this button the type you want to behave it.
<button type="button" onClick="location.href = 'insertDisplay.php'">Display Data</button>
You can take the values out of the form, or you can use, <input type="button"/> tag. It will not submit your form and will work as you intended.
<input type="button" value="display data" onClick="location.href = 'a.php'">
I suppose you also want your datas to be passed to your PHP file after clicking your button ?
If you push the out of the form will not be sended and you'll have no datas.
In fact, you want both buttons to submit your form, but only the first one should validate it ?
If this is it you can do this :
<form name="myForm" action="insert.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br/>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
Mobile: <input type="text" name="mobile"><br/>
Address: <input type="text" name="address"><br/>
<input type="submit" name="typesubmit" value="Submit" onclick="return validateForm();" />
<input type="submit" name="typesubmit" value="Display Data" />
</form>
You'll be abled on your insert.php file to make difference between display and submit by checking $_POST['typesubmit'] value.
And if you want your "display" button to post your form on another php file, you can do this :
<form name="myForm" action="insert.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br/>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
Mobile: <input type="text" name="mobile"><br/>
Address: <input type="text" name="address"><br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return validateForm();" />
<input type="submit" value="Display Data" onclick="document.myForm.action='display.php';" />
</form>
I have a page that has 6 forms that all have a value with the same name 'audit_id_upload'. Currently I have one of them being validated (I'm just looking for empty values) with...
function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["audit_upload"]["audit_id_upload"].value;
if (x==null || x=="")
{
alert("Please Select an Audit");
return false;
}
}
</script>
Can I adapt this to validate the other forms as well without having to repeat it 5 more times?
Thanks
Since you have a input element with audit_id_upload in every form, you could pass the name of your form to this function and use it to validate the item.
function validateForm(fName)
{
var x=document.forms[fName]["audit_id_upload"].value;
if (x==null || x=="")
{
alert("Please Select an Audit");
return false;
}
return true;
}
and call it on the for onSubmit event.
<form name='f1' onsubmit="return validateForm('f1')">
</form>
<form name='f2' onsubmit="return validateForm('f2')">
</form>
<form name='f3' onsubmit="return validateForm('f3')">
</form>
Try this:
<html>
<script type="text/javascript">
function test(theform)
{
if (theform.thefield.value == "foo") return true;
else return false;
}
</script>
<body>
<form action="" onsubmit="return test(this);">
<input type="text" value="" name="thefield" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="" onsubmit="return test(this);">
<input type="text" value="" name="thefield" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<form action="" onsubmit="return test(this);">
<input type="text" value="" name="thefield" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
