Hi there I am really stuck on this and since I am a javscript beginner this boggles my mind.
Is there someone who knows how to write the following javascript form validation?
I am sure that it is very simple, but I can not figure this one out to save my life.
Thank you for you sharing your knowledge.
I need to write WITHOUT jquery the following form validation. Whenever an error is encountered, prevent the form from being submitted. I need to use the window.onload function to assign a validation callback function. There are 4 inputs which get validated by the javascript code. Also the javascript needs to be in its own file.
Validation Rules are as follow:
INPUT: Username; Required (yes); Validation (Must be 5-10 characters long).
INPUT: Email; Required (yes); Validation (Must have an # sign, must have a period).
INPUT: Street name; Required (no); Validation (Must start with a number).
INPUT: Year of birth; Required (yes); Validation (must be numeric).
My code looks as follow:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script defer="defer" type="text/javascript" src="form.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="fake.php">
Username*: <input type="text" class="required" name="u"/><br/>
Email*: <input type="text" class="required" name="p"/><br/>
Street address: <input type="text" class="numeric" name="s"/><br/>
Year of birth*: <input type="text" class="required numeric" name="b"/><br/>
<input type="submit"/><br/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
JS
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
document.forms[0].onsubmit=function(){
for(var i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++){
var el = document.forms[0].elements[i];
if((el.className.indexOf("required") != -1) &&
(el.value == "")){
alert("missing required field");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor="yellow";
return false;
}
if((el.className.indexOf("numeric") != -1) &&
(isNaN(el.value))){
alert(el.value + " is not a number");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor="pink";
return false;
}
}
}
without changing much of your code ... updated your code for other validation like length (needs a class verifylength to validate length) and so on....
try this
HTML
<form action="fake.php">Username*:
<input type="text" class="required verifylength" name="u" />
<br/>Email*:
<input type="text" class="required email" name="p" />
<br/>Street address:
<input type="text" class="numeric" name="s" />
<br/>Year of birth*:
<input type="text" class="required numeric" name="b" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" />
<br/>
</form>
JAVASCRIPT
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
document.forms[0].onsubmit = function () {
for (var i = 0; i < document.forms[0].elements.length; i++) {
var el = document.forms[0].elements[i];
if ((el.className.indexOf("required") != -1) && (el.value == "")) {
alert("missing required field");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
return false;
} else {
if (el.className.indexOf("verifylength") != -1) {
if (el.value.length < 5 || el.value.length > 10) {
alert("'" + el.value + "' must be 5-10 charater long");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor = "pink";
return false;
}
}
}
if (el.className.indexOf("email") != -1) {
var regEx = /^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*#([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$/;
var emailTest = regEx.test(el.value);
if (!emailTest) {
alert("email not valid");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
return false;
}
};
if ((el.className.indexOf("numeric") != -1) && (isNaN(el.value))) {
alert(el.value + " is not a number");
el.focus();
el.style.backgroundColor = "pink";
return false;
}
}
}
working fiddle
something alongs the lines of...
//username 5-10 chars
var uVal = document.getElementsByTagName("u").value;
if (uVal.length < 5 || uVal.length > 10) return false;
//email needs # and .
var eVal = document.getElementsByTagName("p").value;
if !(eVal.match('/.*#.*\./g')) return false;
//street starts w/ num
var sVal = document.getElementsByTagName("s").value;
if !(sVal.match('/^[0-9]/g')) return false;
i think the regex is off + untested :)
Here is your javascript validation object in work. Hope you can make some modification according to your need.
Style
<style>
.valid {border: #0C0 solid 1px;}
.invalid {border: #F00 solid 1px;}
</style>

If you call your plugin on the form element, instead of the checkbox and then search the document for all desired element types except the one with the id of user_login, your inputs JQuery wrapper will only contain the elements you want.

I copied the code and tried the same code. It works. It might be that you filled all the three inputs but you did not put correct EMAIL that fulfills the EMAIL format(regex) in the code.
For example try to fill inputs with these three inputs someone, someone, someone#gmail.com; Submit is enabled
I'm working on a web form with several textboxes and a submit button. When the submit button is clicked, I am supposed to verify that the required fields all have input and that the age field is only numeric. For example, the user can enter 56, but 56 years-old, shouldn't be accepted. If the user enters invalid input or leaves required fields blank, the border around the appropriate textboxes should turn red.
However, as my code is written now all the required fields turn red regardless of input. Any ideas how I can fix this and make the page follow the couple of rules I listed?

The problem I'm currently having is that when I click the submit button, all the fields turn red for a split second, but then go back to the regular color and the input is erased. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
By including all of the borderColor="red" statements in a single code block, you're applying that style to all your inputs, even if only one of them failed validation. You need to separate out each statement so that it only applies to the individual field(s) that failed validation:
document.getElementById("lastname").style.borderColor = (lname == "") ? "red" : "transparent";
document.getElementById("phone").style.borderColor = (pNum == "") ? "red" : "transparent";
...
Also, I'm using the ternary operator ? : to clean up the code as well. These statements would replace the if-else block you've written.
I am using the following javascript functions in order to validate my form variables. Hope these will helpful for you.
var W3CDOM = (document.getElementsByTagName && document.createElement);
window.onload = function () {
document.forms[0].onsubmit = function () {
return validate()
}
}
function validate() {
validForm = true;
firstError = null;
errorstring = '';
var x = document.forms[0].elements;
for (var i = 0;i < x.length;i++) {
if (!x[i].value) {
validForm = false;
writeError(x[i], 'This field is required');
}
}
// This can be used to validate input type Email values
/* if (x['email'].value.indexOf('#') == -1) {
validForm = false;
writeError(x['email'],'This is not a valid email address');
}
*/
if (!W3CDOM)
alert(errorstring);
if (firstError)
firstError.focus();
return validForm;
}
function writeError(obj, message) {
validForm = false;
//if (obj.hasError) return false;
if (W3CDOM) {
obj.className += ' error';
obj.onchange = removeError;
var sp = document.createElement('span');
sp.className = 'error';
sp.appendChild(document.createTextNode(message));
obj.parentNode.appendChild(sp);
obj.hasError = sp;
} else {
errorstring += obj.name + ': ' + message + '\n';
obj.hasError = true;
}
if (!firstError)
firstError = obj;
return false;
}
function removeError() {
this.className = this.className.substring(0, this.className.lastIndexOf(' '));
this.parentNode.removeChild(this.hasError);
this.hasError = null;
this.onchange = null;
}
You can call the validations right after the form submission as given below.
<form name="loginForm" action="do.login" method="POST" class="form" onsubmit="return validate();">
Ok i have multy fields with same name, and i want to check is all fields are not empty. My code works if i have only one input, but i have no idea how to do that with more inputs
<input class = "new_input" type=text name="name[]"/>
<input class = "new_input" type=text name="name[]"/>
function validation(){
var x = document.forms["form"]["name"].value;
if(x ==='')
{
$("#warning").html("Morate uneti vrednost!").css('color','red');
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
for example if enter only one field, validation will work, and i want to check all fields
Using just JS you could do something like
<input class="new_input" type="text" name="name[]">
<input class="new_input" type="text" name="name[]">
<input class="new_input" type="text" name="name[]">
<input class="new_input" type="text" name="name[]">
<button onclick="validate()">Validate</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate() {
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
var empty_inputs = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
if(inputs[i].name.indexOf('name') == 0) { // check all inputs with 'name' in their name
if (inputs[i].value == '') {
empty_inputs++;
console.log('Input ' + i + ' is empty!');
}
}
}
if (empty_inputs == 0) {
console.log('All inputs have a value');
}
}
</script>
You have tagged jquery, so I have given something which works in jquery
http://jsfiddle.net/8uwo6fjz/1/
$("#validate").click(function(){
var x = $("input[name='name[]']")
$(x).each(function(key,val){
if($(val).val().length<=0)
{
$("#warning").html("Morate uneti vrednost!").css('color','red');
}
});
});
Try this:
function validate(){
var error = 0;
$.each( $("input[name='name[]']"), function(index,value){
if( value.value.length == 0){
$("#warning").html("Morate uneti vrednost!").css('color','red');
error = 1;
return;
}
});
if(!error){
$("#warning").html("");
}
}

<input id="post" type="text" style="width:400px;"/>
You know when you go to a site, start typing in a textbox, and all of a sudden, your keyboard stops typing stuff because you've reached the character limit?
How can I make that happen for this textbox for 140 chars?
Use the maxlength attribute.
<input id="post" type="text" style="width:400px;" maxlength="140" />
Using the jQuery Limit plugin : http://jsfiddle.net/AqPQT/ (Demo)
<script src="http://jquery-limit.googlecode.com/files/jquery.limit-1.2.source.js"></script>
<textarea ></textarea>
<span id="left" />
and
$('textarea').limit('140','#left');
see also: http://unwrongest.com/projects/limit/
If you are looking for a sans-jquery solution, just use the maxlength attribute.
<input type="text" maxlength="140" />
function limitChars(textid, limit, infodiv) {
var text = $('#'+textid).val();
var textlength = text.length;
if(textlength > limit) {
$('#' + infodiv).html('You cannot write more then '+limit+' characters!');
$('#'+textid).val(text.substr(0,limit));
return false;
}
else {
$('#' + infodiv).html('You have '+ (limit - textlength) +' characters left.');
return true;
}
}
// Bind the function to ready event of document.
$(function(){
$('#comment').keyup(function(){
limitChars('comment', 140, 'charlimitinfo');
})
});
Try this piece of code..
var limitCount;
function limitText(limitField, limitNum)
{
if (limitField.value.length > limitNum)
{
limitField.value = limitField.value.substring(0, limitNum);
}
else
{
if (limitField == '')
{
limitCount = limitNum - 0;
}
else
{
limitCount = limitNum - limitField.value.length;
}
}
if (limitCount == 0)
{
document.getElementById("comment").style.borderColor = "red";
}
else
{
document.getElementById("comment").style.borderColor = "";
}
}
<input type="text" id="comment" name="comment" onkeyup="limitText(this,20);" onkeypress="limitText(this,20);" onkeydown="limitText(this,20);" />
