I had a form that can send message and user need to select group from checkbox or manual input the group name. Now i want validate this form, if user not check any checkbox or insert any value in text field this form cannot sumbit.
Below is my form and here is my jsfiddle (already validate textarea).
<form action="" method="post" name="myform" id="myform">
<input type="checkbox" name="group_list[]" value="1" />Group 1<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="group_list[]" value="1" />Group 1<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="group_list[]" value="1" />Group 1<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="group_list[]" value="1" />Group 1<br />
<input type="text" name="manual_group" value="" placeholder="Group Name" /><br />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Message" />
</form>
User need to check one of checkbox or insert group name before submit.So the question is how to create condition for this rule?
*Remember this form still can submit if i not check one of the checkbox but key-in some name in manual_group , this form also can sumbit if i not key-in any name but check for checkbox.
You can achieve this by setting a rule on the textbox that it is required only if none of the checkboxes are checked. This uses the type of required specification that takes a function as a parameter.
rules: {
manual_group: {
required: function () {
return $('[name=group_list\\[\\]]:checked').length === 0;
}
}
}
The other thing you need to do is force a re-validation when either the checkboxes or the textbox are changed. I have done it like this,
$('form input').on('click focusin focusout keyup', function () {
$('form').validate().form();
});
The full script is below, and in this fiddle
$(function () {
$("form").validate({
rules: {
manual_group: {
required: function () {
return $('[name=group_list\\[\\]]:checked').length === 0;
}
}
},
messages: {
manual_group: "Please check a checkbox or fill in this field"
},
submitHandler: function () {
alert('form ok');
}
});
$('form input').on('click focusin focusout keyup', function () {
$('form').validate().form();
});
});
with reference to your Fiddle
you can add it in the same way just like the validation you'hv added for message
e.g.
"group_list[]": {required:true}...
May be this will work
$("#submit").click(function(){
if($('#myform input:checked').length >= 1 || $("#manual_group").val() !=""){
return true ;
}
return false;
}

I have a form and enabling the submit button after fill the all the fields in the form. I used jquery to disable the button also use the disabled="disabled" in the submit button. Now I am on the browser and button is showing disabled.
Now What I did, Right clicked and inspect elements and goes to my register button and I remove the disabled=" disabled" from the HTML and my button got enable without filling the details and I clicked no button form submitted.
I just want to know Is there any other solution to handle this issue? because anyone can enable this and access it without filling the form.
Would you help me out in this?
(function() {
$('form > input').keyup(function() {
var empty = false;
$('form > input').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == '') {
empty = true;
}
});
if (empty) {
$('#register').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
} else {
$('#register').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
})()
<form>
Username<br />
<input type="text" id="user_input" name="username" /><br />
Password<br />
<input type="password" id="pass_input" name="password" /><br />
Email<br />
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" /><br />
<input type="submit" id="register" value="Register" disabled="disabled" />

The disabled property is good but its more or less cosmetics.
There is a simple way to prevent a form submit using JavaScript submit Event handler. You check for a condition to be met - otherwise you cancel the submission.
You can prevent form submit by simply modifying your function to this:
(function() {
$('form > input').keyup(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var empty = false;
$('form > input').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == '') {
empty = true;
}
});
if (empty) {
$('#register').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
} else {
$('#register').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
})()
I have this form where I need to validate that - "If the user checks the checkbox, they must enter data in the text field. I have the following JS where I can verify the parent/child checkbox validation, but I am not sure how to use the script for text field validation. Thanks!
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#checkBtn').click(function() {
checked = $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").length;
if(!checked) {
alert("You must check at least one checkbox.");
return false;
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" class="model"> Model #
<input type="text" size="12" class="childModel"><BR>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="checkBtn" style="text-align:center;"/>
Sounds like you just need to check that:
either the checkbox is unchecked, OR
there's something in the checkbox
Here's a simple way to do it:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#checkBtn').click(function() {
var isCheckboxChecked = $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").length;
var isTextEntered = $("input.childModel").val().length;
if ( isTextEntered || !isCheckboxChecked ) {
alert("validation passed!");
} else {
alert("validation failed!");
}
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input type="checkbox" class="model"> Model #
<input type="text" size="12" class="childModel"><BR>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" id="checkBtn" style="text-align:center;"/>
I'm trying to check if the textbox is empty for my form. However, whenever I try to hit submit instead of an alert box message, telling me Firstname is empty I get "Please fill out filled".
('#submit').click(function() {
if ($('#firstname').val() == '') {
alert('Firstname is empty');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="elem" autocomplete="on">
First Name:
<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" required placeholder="Enter the first name" pattern="[A-Za-z\-]+" maxlength="25"><br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Firstly I'm assuming that the missing $ is just a typo in the question, as you state that you see the validation message appear.
The reason you're seeing the 'Please fill out this field' notification is because you've used the required attribute on the field. If you want to validate the form manually then remove that attribute. You will also need to hook to the submit event of the form, not the click of the button and prevent the form submission if the validation fails, something like this:
$('#elem').submit(function(e) {
if ($('#firstname').val().trim() == '') {
e.preventDefault();
alert('Firstname is empty');
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="elem" autocomplete="on">
First Name:
<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" placeholder="Enter the first name" pattern="[A-Za-z\-]+" maxlength="25"><br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Personally I'd suggest you use the required attribute as it saves all of the above needless JS code - unless you need more complex logic than just checking all required fields have been given values.
Because you have the required property set.It is giving you Please fill out field validation as the error message.It is the validation that HTML5 is performing.
For this please make one function like :
function Checktext()
{
if ($('#firstname').val() == '') {
alert('Firstname is empty');
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
now call this function on submit button click like :
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" onclick="return check();" />
I have an ASPX form and I need to disable the submit button if any one of six specific fields are empty. I'm trying to do this via Javascript or jQuery, but so far I can only find examples of either a single field on the form being empty, or ALL fields on the form. In my case, I don't care about several fields - only the six specific ones.
So basically, I have six conditions and one action. I found one example, but it was stringing together six different IF statements. I'd like to find a more streamlined way if possible. So, for example, I might do THIS for a single field... but how to do it for field2, field3, field4, etc. as well?
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled',true);
$('#field1').keyup(function(){
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled');
})
});
Using Javascript or jQuery, what's the most efficient way to disable an input button if any of six input fields is blank?
You can add the same class name to all the elements and then do a validation foreach class element. Like in below code, i added the same class name to all the input for which the validation is required using class="valid" and then use the jquery class selector and the keyup method that you used to control the state of the button.
(function() {
$('.valid').keyup(function() {
var isEmpty = false;
$('.valid').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() == '') {
isEmpty = true;
}
});
if (isEmpty) {
$('#button1').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
} else {
$('#button1').removeAttr('disabled');
}
});
})()
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
1<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
2<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
3<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
4<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
5<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
6<input type="text" class="valid" /><br />
<input type="button" id="button1" value="Test Me!" disabled="disabled" />
</form>
If your requirements will allow it, you can use HTML 5 field validation. The browser will not allow the form to submit.
<form>
<label for="choose">Foo</label>
<input name="bar" required>
<input type="submit" /> <!-- <--- This will generate an error message if the user clicks it when the field is empty -->
</form>
You have the start of it correct; create an array with six variables, one for each of the fields, and create a new function to validate everything that is called on each keyup. So you would have
var[] array
$('#field1').keyup(function() {
array[0] = $('#field1').val();
validate();
}
${'#field2').keyup(function() {
array[1] = $('#field2').val();
validate();
}
...create one each for each field
function validate() {
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
if(!arrays[i]) {
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled');
return;
}
}
$('#submit_btn').prop('enabled'):
}
What this does is it listens to the fields for changes and updates the array. A blank value is falsy so you can just go through the array and disable the button if it's blank or null or something. Break out of the for loop in that case; you don't care about whatever else. If nothing disables the button and breaks the for loop then it's valid and the button is enabled.
This approach is useful because it's easily extendable. You can just push extra things into the array if you want to check them without rewriting the validation function.
This assumes you do not want to just use standard form validation and do it manually.
Add a common class to each of the required inputs. Then check the length of that object against the length of a filtered object where value is not empty. Then you can use that condition to set the prop value of the button to true/false.
http://api.jquery.com/filter/
JQuery:
$('form .required-valid').on('input paste change', function() {
var $required = $('form .required-valid');
//filter required inputs to only ones that have a value.
var $valid = $required.filter(function() {
return this.value != '';
});
//set disabled prop to false if valid input count is != required input count
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled', $valid.length != $required.length);
});
HTML:
<form>
<label>Field1</label>
<input type="text" id="field1" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field2</label>
<input type="text" id="field2" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field3</label>
<input type="text" id="field3" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field4</label>
<input type="text" id="field4" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field5</label>
<input type="text" id="field5" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field6</label>
<input type="text" id="field6" class="required-valid" />
<label>Field7</label>
<input type="text" id="field7" class="not-required" placeholder="not required" />
<button id="submit_btn" disabled>
Submit
</button>
</form>
Example:
https://jsfiddle.net/SeanWessell/q2msc80L/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled', true);
$('#field1').keyup(function() { // on keyup
var value = $(this).val(); // retrieve the value of the input
if (value.length == 0) // if the value's length is 0 (empty)
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled', true); // disable the button
else // if not
$('#submit_btn').prop('disabled', false); // enable it
});
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form>
<input id="field1"/>
<input id="submit_btn" type="submit"/>
</form>
Just note that the form can be submitted using enter key, so instead of checking on every keyup, it would be better if you check onsubmit instead.
I usually work with PHP so sadly don't have some basic JS principles down. This is all I want to accomplish--I've seen many posts on this topic but they are usually beyond what I need.
Here is my form:
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="check" />
<input type="submit" name="email_submit" value="submit" onclick="----??----" />
The checkbox is a simple "I agree". I want the submit button to be pressed and it will only submit if that check box is selected.
Here's the thing: I want the simple, cheating way -- no methods -- just some inline code in that form (assuming its not overly long?). This is not a public page, I just need something quick and simple with that type of validation. If its unchecked, it will throw an alert(); if its checked it will submit via post through php and go on as normal.
You could use:
if(!this.form.checkbox.checked)
{
alert('You must agree to the terms first.');
return false;
}
(demo page).
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="check" />
<input type="submit" name="email_submit" value="submit" onclick="if(!this.form.checkbox.checked){alert('You must agree to the terms first.');return false}" />
Returning false from an inline event handler will prevent the default action from taking place (in this case, submitting the form).
! is the Boolean NOT operator.
this is the submit button because it is the element the event handler is attached to.
.form is the form the submit button is in.
.checkbox is the control named "checkbox" in that form.
.checked is true if the checkbox is checked and false if the checkbox is unchecked.
For now no jquery or php needed. Use just "required" HTML5 input attrbute like here
<form>
<p>
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" value="ok" class="btn btn-success" name="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="0" />
</p>
<p><input type="checkbox" required name="terms">I have read and accept SOMETHING Terms and Conditions</p>
</form>
This will validate and prevent any submit before checkbox is opt in. Language independent solution because its generated by users web browser.
You can do something like this:
<form action="../" onsubmit="return checkCheckBoxes(this);">
<p><input type="CHECKBOX" name="MyCheckbox" value="This..."> This...</p>
<p><input type="SUBMIT" value="Submit!"></p>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
function checkCheckBoxes(theForm) {
if (
theForm.MyCheckbox.checked == false)
{
alert ('You didn\'t choose any of the checkboxes!');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
//-->
</script>
http://lab.artlung.com/validate-checkbox/
Although less legible imho, this can be done without a separate function definition like this:
<form action="../" onsubmit="if (this.MyCheckbox.checked == false) { alert ('You didn\'t choose any of the checkboxes!'); return false; } else { return true; }">
<p><input type="CHECKBOX" name="MyCheckbox" value="This..."> This...</p>
<p><input type="SUBMIT" value="Submit!"></p>
</form>
You can do the following:
<form action="/" onsubmit="if(document.getElementById('agree').checked) { return true; } else { alert('please agree'); return false; }">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="check" id="agree" />
<input type="submit" name="email_submit" value="submit" />
</form>
Here is a working demo - http://jsfiddle.net/Ccr2x/
If your checkbox has an ID of 'checkbox':
if(document.getElementById('checkbox').checked == true){ // code here }
HTH
var confirm=document.getElementById("confirm").value;
if((confirm.checked==false)
{
alert("plz check the checkbox field");
document.getElementbyId("confirm").focus();
return false;
}
If the check box's ID "Delete" then for the "onclick" event of the submit button the javascript function can be as follows:
html:
<input type="checkbox" name="Delete" value="Delete" id="Delete"></td>
<input type="button" value="Delete" name="delBtn" id="delBtn" onclick="deleteData()">
script:
<script type="text/Javascript">
function deleteData() {
if(!document.getElementById('Delete').checked){
alert('Checkbox not checked');
return false;
}
</script>
Another simple way is to create a function and check if the checkbox(es) are checked or not, and disable a button that way using jQuery.
HTML:
<input type="checkbox" id="myCheckbox" />
<input type="submit" id="myButton" />
JavaScript:
var alterDisabledState = function () {
var isMyCheckboxChecked = $('#myCheckbox').is(':checked');
if (isMyCheckboxChecked) {
$('myButton').removeAttr("disabled");
}
else {
$('myButton').attr("disabled", "disabled");
}
}
Now you have a button that is disabled until they select the checkbox, and now you have a better user experience. I would make sure that you still do the server side validation though.
Another Simple way is to create & invoke the function validate() when the form loads & when submit button is clicked.
By using checked property we check whether the checkbox is selected or not.
cbox[0] has an index 0 which is used to access the first value (i.e Male) with name="gender"
You can do the following:
function validate() {
var cbox = document.forms["myForm"]["gender"];
if (
cbox[0].checked == false &&
cbox[1].checked == false &&
cbox[2].checked == false
) {
alert("Please Select Gender");
return false;
} else {
alert("Successfully Submited");
return true;
}
}
<form onload="return validate()" name="myForm">
<input type="checkbox" name="gender" value="male"> Male
<input type="checkbox" name="gender" value="female"> Female
<input type="checkbox" name="gender" value="other"> Other <br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="validate()">
</form>
Demo: CodePen
Target it by id and then use this code:
function check(){
if(document.getElementById('yourid').checked
{
return false;
}
else
{
alert ("checkbox not checked");
return false;
}
}
var testCheckbox = document.getElementById("checkbox");
if (!testCheckbox.checked) {
alert("Error Message!!");
}
else {
alert("Success Message!!");
}
Guys you can do this kind of validation very easily. Just you have to track the id or name of the checkboxes. you can do it statically or dynamically.
For statically you can use hard coded id of the checkboxes and for dynamically you can use the name of the field as an array and create a loop.
Please check the below link. You will get my point very easily.
