I did wrap this in a form with a submit button, but realized that this attempted to go to a new page without performing the logic. How can I pass the zip code to the onclick button event? If this is completely wrong, can you provide guidance onto how to perform this correctly.
<input type="text" placeholder="Zip Code" pattern="[0-9]{5}" name="zip" required />
<button id="checker">Go!</button>
<script>
var b = document.getElementById("checker");
b.addEventListener("click", function checkZipCode(zip) {
var zipCodes = [26505, 26501, 26507, 26506];
for (i = 0; i <= zipCodes.length - 1; i++) {
if (zip == zipCodes[i]) {
alert("YES");
break;
}
}
}
</script>
You need to get the value of your input and you can do this with document.querySelector('[name="zip"]').value
var b = document.getElementById("checker");
b.addEventListener("click", function checkZipCode(zip) {
var zip = document.querySelector('[name="zip"]').value;
var zipCodes = [26505, 26501, 26507, 26506];
for (i = 0; i <= zipCodes.length - 1; i++) {
if (zip == zipCodes[i]) {
alert("YES");
break;
}
}
})
<input type="text" placeholder="Zip Code" pattern="[0-9]{5}" name="zip" required />
<button id="checker">Go!</button>
Just use getElementById('ELEMENT_NAME_HERE').value like so:
Go!
<script>
var b = document.getElementById("checker");
b.addEventListener("click", function checkZipCode(zip){
console.log('Clicked');
var enteredZip = document.getElementById("zip").value;
console.log(enteredZip);
var zipCodes=[26505, 26501, 26507, 26506];
for(i=0; i<=zipCodes.length-1; i++){
if(zip == zipCodes[i]){
alert("YES");
break;
}}});
</script>

You can't pass it in.
basically if this myfunction() will return a false then the form would not be submitted;
Also this would only be performed at the time of submittion of the form
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_onsubmit.asp
<form onsubmit="myFunction()">
Enter name: <input type="text">
<input id='input-id' type="submit">
</form>
<script>
myfunction(){
if(/*some condition*/)
{
return false;
}
</script>
Also few things to consider since you seem new and people here are giving you very correct but specific solutions.
if you add a button to inside tag, that would submit the form on clicking it.
That is why many use a div which looks like a button by css. Mainly a clean solution to override the Button submit and also you can simply submit the form by Javascript.

How do I enable input2 if enable 1 has input within it (basically re-enabling it), I'm still a beginner and have no idea to do this.
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
<script language="javascript">
function valid() {
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").length;
var min = 1;
if (firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
//enable the text2 tag
}
}
//once input from text1 is entered launch this function
</script>
</form>
if i understand your question correctly, you want to enable the second input as long as the first input have value in it?
then use dom to change the disabled state of that input
if(firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
//enable the text2 tag
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
}
Please try this code :
var text1 = document.getElementById("text1");
text1.onchange = function () {
if (this.value != "" || this.value.length > 0) {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="text" id="text1">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
I think you should use .value to get the value. And, then test its .length. That is firstTag should be:
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").value.length;
And, the complete function should be:
function valid() {
var min = 1;
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1");
var secondTag = document.getElementById("text2");
if (firstTag.length > min) {
secondTag.disabled = false
} else {
secondTag.disabled = true
}
}
Let me know if that works.
You can use the .disabled property of the second element. It is a boolean property (true/false).
Also note that you need to use .value to retrieve the text of an input element.
Demo:
function valid() {
var text = document.getElementById("text1").value;
var minLength = 1;
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = text.length < minLength;
}
valid(); // run it at least once on start
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2">
I would just change #Korat code event to keyup like this:
<div>
<input type="text" id="in1" onkeyup="enablesecond()";/>
<input type="text" id="in2" disabled="true"/>
</div>
<script>
var text1 = document.getElementById("in1");
text1.onkeyup = function () {
if (this.value != "" || this.value.length > 0) {
document.getElementById("in2").disabled = false;
} else {
document.getElementById("in2").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
I tried to create my own so that I could automate this for more than just two inputs although the output is always set to null, is it that I cannot give text2's id from text1?
<div id="content">
<form id="form1">
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid(this.id,text2)">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
<script language ="javascript">
function valid(firstID,secondID){
var firstTag = document.getElementById(firstID).value.length;
var min = 0;
if(firstTag > min)
//if the text entered is longer than 1 alert to screen
{
document.getElementById(secondID).disabled = false;
}
if(firstTag == 0){
document.getElementById(secondID).disabled = true;
}
}
//once input from text1 is entered launch this function
</script>
</form>
First, you have to correct your code "document.getElementById("text1").length" to "document.getElementById("text1").value.length".
Second, there are two ways you can remove disabled property.
1) Jquery - $('#text2').prop('disabled', false);
2) Javascript - document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
Below is the example using javascript,
function valid() {
var firstTag = document.getElementById("text1").value.length;
var min = 1;
if (firstTag > min) {
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = false;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("text2").disabled = true;
}
}
<input type="text" id="text1" onkeyup="valid()">
<input type="text" id="text2" disabled="disabled">
If I understand you correctly, what you are asking is how to remove the disabled attribute (enable) from the second input when more than 1 character has been entered into the first input field.
You can to use the oninput event. This will call your function every time a new character is added to the first input field. Then you just need to set the second input field's disabled attribute to false.
Here is a working example.
Run this example at Repl.it
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<!-- Call enableInput2 on input event -->
<input id="input1" oninput="enableInput2()">
<input id="input2" disabled>
<script>
function enableInput2() {
// get the text from the input1 field
var input1 = document.getElementById("input1").value;
if (input1.length > 1) {
// enable input2 by setting disabled attribute to 'false'
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = false;
} else {
// disable input2 once there is 1 or less characters in input1
document.getElementById("input2").disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
NOTE: It is better practice to use addEventListener instead of putting event handlers (e.g. onclick, oninput, etc.) directly into HTML.
I'm using a at the moment in order to add a search feature to my site. I want them to enter a number that starts with 765611 and then has 11 numbers after that; if they type in a correct number, it will run the below script:
var a = document.getElementById('search');
a.addEventListener('submit',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var b = document.getElementById('searchbar').value;
window.location.href = 'thecopperkings.co.uk'+b;
});
If they enter a wrong number (i.e. one that does not start with 765611 and have 11 numbers proceeding it) the background of the div will flash red for two seconds (I assume the way this would be done is by adding a temporary class value which has a red background) with a transition as well, and the above code wouldn't run.
I'm pretty terrible (and new) to JS but looking at other peoples code and my basic knowledge, I assume it would have to be something along the lines of this:
var search = document.getElementByID('search');
a.addEventListener('submit',function(e) {
if document.getElementByID('searchbar').value = "765611[0-9]{11}$" {
e.preventDefault();
var b = document.getElementById('searchbar').value;
window.location.href = 'thecopperkings.co.uk'+b;
}
else {
**SET THE FORM'S CLASS TO "RED"?**
}
What is the best and most efficient way of doing this?
var a = document.getElementById('search');
a.addEventListener('submit',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var b = document.getElementById('searchbar').value;
window.location.href = 'thecopperkings.co.uk'+b;
});
<div>
<form class="search" id="search" method="get" action="html/player.html">
<input type="text" placeholder="What is your SteamID?" id="searchbar" name="id" maxlength="17">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
</div>
Please find the below answer.
working example can be found here jsFiddle
Add class red as .red { background-color:red !important;}
var a = document.getElementById('search');
function appendClass(elementId, classToAppend){
var oldClass = document.getElementById(elementId).getAttribute("class");
if (oldClass.indexOf(classToAppend) == -1)
{
document.getElementById(elementId).setAttribute("class", oldClass+ " "+classToAppend);
}
}
function removeClass(elementId, classToRemove){
var oldClass = document.getElementById(elementId).getAttribute("class");
if (oldClass.indexOf(classToRemove) !== -1)
{ document.getElementById(elementId).setAttribute("class",oldClass.replace(classToRemove,''));
}
}
a.addEventListener('submit',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var b = document.getElementById('searchbar').value;
//regular expression to match your criteria and test the sample value
if(/^765611[0-9]{11}$/.test(b)) {
alert('success -> '+ b );
window.location.href = 'thecopperkings.co.uk'+b;
} else {
//append the class red for searchid which is in form element
appendClass('search','red');
//remove the red class after 2sec(2000milliseconds)
window.setTimeout(function(){removeClass('search','red');},2000);
}
});
<div>
<form class="search" id="search" method="get" action="html/player.html">
<input type="text" placeholder="What is your SteamID?" id="searchbar" name="id" maxlength="17">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
</div>
var patt = new RegExp("765611[0-9]{11}$");
var searchbar = document.getElementByID('searchbar');
var searchForm = document.getElementByID('search');
if( patt.test(searchbar.value) ){
searchForm.classlist.remove('error');
// do your magic
} else{
searchForm.classlist.add('error');
// And maybe an alert or notice for the user

I wants to check, if entered field's value is valid or not using onchange before submitting the page. I have written like below.It validates well.But how to activate 'NEXT' button when there is no error on input entries.
<div><input type="text" name="your_name" id="your_name" onchange = "validate_Name(this,1,4)" />
<span id="your_name-error" class="signup-error">*</span>
</div>
<div><input type="text" name="your_addr" id="your_addr" onchange = "validate_Name(this,1,4)" />
<span id="your_addr-error" class="signup-error">*</span>
</div>
<input class="btnAction" type="button" name="next" id="next" value="Next" style="display:none;">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../inc/validate_js.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#next").click(function() {
var output = validate(); //return true if no error
if (output) {
var current = $(".active"); //activating NEXT button
} else {
alert("Please correct the fields.");
}
});
}
function validate() {
//What should write here?I want to analyse the validate_js.js value here.
}
</script>
Inside validate_js.js
function validate_Name(inputVal, minLeng, maxLeng) {
if (inputVal.value.length > maxLeng) {
inputVal.style.background = "red";
inputVal.nextElementSibling.innerHTML = "<br>Max Characters:" + maxLeng;
} else if (!(tBox.value.match(letters))) {
inputVal.style.background = "red";
inputVal.nextElementSibling.innerHTML = "<br>Use only a-zA-Z0-9_ ";
} else {
inputVal.style.background = "white";
inputVal.nextElementSibling.innerHTML = "";
}
}
If by "activating" you want to make it visible, you can call $('#next').show().
However if you want to simulate a click on it, with jQuery you can simply call $('#next').click() or $('#next').trigger('click') as described here. Also, you might want to put everything in a form and programmatically submit the form when the input passes validation.
You could possibly trigger the change event for each field so it validates each one again.
eg.
function validate() {
$("#your_name").trigger('change');
$("#your_addr").trigger('change');
}
<script>
function KeepCount() {
var x=0;
var count=0;
var x;
for(x=0; x<document.QuestionGenerate.elements["questions"].length; x++){
if(document.QuestionGenerate.elements["questions"][x].checked==true || document.QuestionGenerate.elements["option"][x].checked==true || document.QuestionGenerate.elements["Description"][x].checked==true || document.QuestionGenerate.elements["fillups"][x].checked==true){
count= count+1;
document.getElementsByName("t1")[0].value=count;
}
else
{
document.getElementsByName("t1")[0].value=count;
//var vn=$('#t1').val();
// alert(vn);
//alert(vn);
//alert("value is"+count);
}
}
// var cc = document.getElementsByName("t1")[0].value;
var vn=$('#t1').val();
alert(vn);
if(vn==0){
alert("You must choose at least 1");
return false;
}
}
</script>
<form action="SelectedQuestions.jsp" method="post" name="QuestionGenerate">
<input type="text" name="t1" id="t1" value="">
<input type="submit" id="fi" name="s" value="Finish" onclick="return KeepCount();">
</form>
I use the above code for checking how many check box are checked in my form my form having many check box. and if no check box are selected means it shows some message and than submit the form but for loop is working good and textbox get the value after the for loop the bellow code doesn't work even alert() is not working
**
var vn=$('#t1').val();
alert(vn);
if(vn==0){
alert("You must choose at least 1");
return false;
}
This code is not working why?
**
I change my KeepCount() function code shown in bellow that solve my problem
function KeepCount()
{
var check=$("input:checkbox:checked").length;
alert(check);
if(check==0)
{
alert("You must choose at least 1");
}
return false;
}
The bug is : document.QuestionGenerate.elements["questions"] it is undefined that's why the code is not even going inside for loop use instead :
document.QuestionGenerate.elements.length
I'm new to JavaScript and my form validation works but keeps jumping to validate username on submit even when its validated. Heres my code

clear_all();
complete = checkaddress(form.country.value);
}
if(complete)

clear_all();
complete = checkaddress(form.country.value);
}
if(complete)
{
clear_all();
complete = checkEmail(form.email.value);
}
if (complete)
{
clear_all();
complete = checkphone(form.phone.value);
}
}

Please point amateur coder in right direction Thanks
Like others said, you are trying to access the username inside a condition, where the condition is always false. You set complete=false on start and right after that you try to see if that is true.
By the way, clear_all() may not have the behavior you want before the first validation. It will hide every input in the screen, so if there is anything else wrong, you won't be able to see that. I should go for hiding at the end (or at the beginning like #mplungjan stated, and always depending on what you need), maybe reusing your if(complete) structure:
function validate_form(form)
{
clear_all();
var complete = checkUsernameForLength(form.username.value);
if(complete)
{
complete = checkaddress(form.country.value);
}
if(complete)
{
complete = checkEmail(form.email.value);
}
if (complete)
{
complete = checkphone(form.phone.value);
}
}
Also, and after stating the username validation works, you should return a boolean value in the other methods =)
EDIT: Also, checking the errors the others said is a high priority issue.
EDIT2: I turned to see a repeated condition. Now I deleted it. To keep using the if(complete) that way, you should also do these changes:
function checkaddress(whatYouTyped)
{
var fieldset = whatYouTyped.parentNode;
var txt = whatYouTyped.value;
if (txt.length > 3 && txt.length <10)
{
fieldset.className = "welldone";
return true; // <-- this change
}
else
{
fieldset.className = "";
return false; // <-- and this change
}
}
Also, change the other methods to return true and false when you need.
Don't panic.
Everyone has to start somewhere and it can be very frustrating when you're only just learning the ropes.
In answering this question, we need to look not only at your JavaScript, but at the HTML as well.
You don't have a submit input type; instead opting for a regular button. That wouldn't necessarily be a problem, except nowhere in your JavaScript are you actually submitting your form. That means every time someone clicks the "Send" button, it will fire the validate_form() function you've defined but do nothing further with it. Let's make a couple of changes:
Replace your button with a submit input:
<input value="send" type="submit" />
Next, add the following code to your form tag so that we define an action to take when the user tries to submit your form:
onsubmit="validate_form(this)"
So your whole form tag now looks like this:
<form method="post" action="mailto:s00103684#mail.itsligo.ie" name="basicform" id="basicform" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)">
Notice I removed an extra "form" from that element.
Ok, next we want to handle what happens when the form is ready to be validated.
function validate_form(form)
{
// ...we can step through each item by name and validate its value.
var username = checkUsernameForLength(form["username"].value);
var email = checkaddress(form["country"].value);
// ...and so on.
return (username && email && {my other return values});
}
Each method you call (e.g. CheckUsernameForLength) should return either true or false, depending on whether the input is valid or not.
Our last return is probably a little inelegant, but is a verbose example of a way to aggregate our returned values and see if there are any "failed" values in there. If all your methods returned true, that last return will evaluate to true. Otherwise (obviously) it will return false.
The submission of the form will depend on whatever value is returned from your validate_form() function.
Please start with this ( http://jsfiddle.net/4aynr/4/ )
function validate_form(form)
{
var complete=false;
clear_all();
complete = checkUsernameForLength(form.username); // pass the FIELD here
if(complete)
{
complete = checkaddress(form.country.value);
}
if(complete)
{
complete = checkEmail(form.email.value);
}
if (complete)
{
complete = checkphone(form.phone.value);
}
if (!complete) alert('something went wrong')
return complete;
}
and change
<form form method="post" action="mailto:s00103684#mail.itsligo.ie"
name="basicform" id="basicform" >
to
<form method="post" action="mailto:s00103684#mail.itsligo.ie"
name="basicform" id="basicform"
onSubmit="return validate_form(this)">
and change
<input value="send" type="button" onclick="validate_form(this.form)"/>
to
<input value="send" type="submit" />
