Cannot validate user input correctly from server?

How do I check multiple variable inputs at once to ensure that the regex is working? Everytime I enter anything, the form submits and doesn't alert anything.
I have tried test()method of regex validation too, and still no luck.
I am trying to validate user input with the following regex that makes to where anything that is not a number or blank space is considered a wrong input.
var format=/^(\s*|\d+)$/;
It only accepts numbers and blank spaces in the text box.
The following javascript is what I have:
var pitch = document.getElementById("pitch");
var chisel = document.getElementById("chis");
var saw = document.getElementById("saw");
//var arguments = [chisel, saw, pitch];
var format = /^(\s*|\d+)$/;
function regexTest() {
if (!chisel.match(format) && !saw.match(format) && !pitch.match(format)) {
alert("Repressed Action");
return false;
} else {
alert('Thank you');
}
}
<div class="lab">
<form method="post" action="http://weblab.kennesaw.edu/formtest.php">
Chisels: <input type="text" name="chisels" id="chis" size="5" /> Saw: <input type="text" name="saw" id="saw" size="5" /> Pitchfork: <input type="text" name="pitchfork" id="pitch" size="5" />
<br /> Customer Name: <input type="text" name="customer name" size="25" />
<br /> Shipping Address: <input type="text" name="shipping address" size="25" />
<br /> State:

<input type="radio" id="visa" name="card" value="visa" /><label for="visa">Visa</label>
<br />
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
<div class="lab">
<button onclick="regexTest()">Submit</button>
<button onclick="return false">Cancel</button>
</div>

There are a number of issues with your code, below I've refactored it to be a bit easier to read and so it works.
The validation listener should be on the form's submit handler, not the submit button since forms can be submitted without clicking the button. Also, if you pass a reference to the form to the listener, it's much easier to access the form controls by name.
You should get the values of the form controls when the submit occurs, not before. Your code gets the values immediately, before the user has done anything (and possibly before the form even exists), so put that code inside the listener function.
Lastly, the regular expression needs to match anything that isn't a space or digit, so:
/[^\s\d]/
seems appropriate. However, this will still allow the form to submit if the fields are empty (they don't contain non-digits or non-spaces). You'll need to add a test for that.
function regexTest(form) {
// Get values when the function is called, not before
var pitch = form.pitchfork.value;
var chisel = form.chisels.value;
var saw = form.saw.value;
// Test for anything that's not a space or digit
// var format = /^(\s*|\d+)$/;
var format = /[^\s\d]/;
if (format.test(chisel) || format.test(pitch) || format.test(saw)) {
// There must be at least one non-space or non-digit in a field
alert("Repressed Action");
return false;
} else {
alert('Thank you');
// return false anyway for testing
return false;
}
}
<div class="lab">
<form onsubmit="return regexTest(this)">
Chisels: <input type="text" name="chisels" id="chis" size="5"><br>
Saw: <input type="text" name="saw" id="saw" size="5"><br>
Pitchfork: <input type="text" name="pitchfork" id="pitch" size="5"><br>
Customer Name: <input type="text" name="customer name" size="25"><br>
Shipping Address: <input type="text" name="shipping address" size="25">
<br> State:
<select name="states">

</select>
<br>
<input type="radio" id="master" name="card" value="master"><label for="master">MasterCard</label>
<input type="radio" id="american" name="card" value="american"><label for="american">American Express</label>

<br>
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

Hopefully this gets you to the next step.

html form-submit doesnt show result from javascript permanently in element

im having the issue, that my html website seems to always refresh automatically twice after i submitted a form.
I just see my - correct - result from the function behind the Submit for less than a second before it disappers.
I write the result into an tabledata element with document.getElementById("tabledata").innerHTML = result;
The code works fine, the result just doesn't remain in the tabledata element - but i want it to.
<td id="TDcontent200px">
<form name="formularSpiel" onSubmit="spielen()">
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Schere" checked="checked">Schere<br>
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Stein">Stein<br>
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Papier">Papier<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</td>
function spielen()
{
var meineWahl = getAuswahl();
var gegnerWahl = waehleGegner();
var ergebnis = vergleiche(meineWahl, gegnerWahl);
document.getElementById("TDergebnis").innerHTML = ergebnis;
}

can you put
return false;
after that document.getElementById... line?

I solved the Problem. #tom
I think I messed something up with the form and its use.
I deleted the "onsubmit" attribute and changed the input type from "submit" to "button" and added an "onclick" event on the button:
<form name="formularSpiel">
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Schere" checked="checked">Schere<br>
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Stein">Stein<br>
<input type="radio" name="radioGruppe" value="Papier">Papier<br><br>
<input **type="button"** value="submit" **onclick="spielen()"**>
</form>
Problem solved, thx #tom

If radio box is checked go to link

I am doing a quote website and i want if a user want to see most recent quotes to press the radio button and the page will display most recent quotes . I can not figure it out how to make the radio box to send to a certain page.
<input type="radio" name="order" id="noi" value="noi">
<label for="noi">Most Recent</label>
<input type="radio" name="order" id="vechi" value="vechi" >
<label for="vechi">Most Old</label>
<input type="radio" name="order" id="aprec" value="aprec" >
<label for="aprec">Most Liked</label>
Fiddle
I want to make something like this but without be need to press the submit button, but when radio box is checked be sent automaticaly to a link.
Don`t know if this is right or not but i have seen to other websites this kind of sort.
Is this possible without javascript or jquery?

http://jsfiddle.net/ryBs6/47/ - Update jsfiddle
$("input[type='radio']").on("click",function(){window.open($(this).attr("href"))})
anyway this would work , because if i right click and open link in new tab it works , but single click doesnt work, i dont know if this is disabled for security reasons or what !
http://jsfiddle.net/prollygeek/6vCdX/
<input type="radio" name="order" id="noi" value="noi">
<label for="noi">Most Recent</label>

If you REALLY don't want to use Javascript, try wrapping the input and the label in an anchor
<input type="radio" />
If you want to use some javascript, do
<input onclick="window.open('http://google.com');" />
Or if you don't want to use the onclick attribute, use ProllyGeek's answer (I like his answer the best):
$("input[type='radio']").on("click",function(){window.open($(this).attr("href"))})

<script>
$(function(){
$("input").change(function() {
if(this.checked) {
window.location = this.value;
}
});
});
</script>
<input type="radio" name="order" id="noi" value="http://stackoverflow.com">
<label for="noi">Most Recent</label>
<input type="radio" name="order" id="vechi" value="http://stackoverflow.com" >
<label for="vechi">Most Old</label>
<input type="radio" name="order" id="aprec" value="http://stackoverflow.com" >
<label for="aprec">Most Liked</label>
FIDDLE DEMO

Without jquery:
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
Array.prototype.forEach.call(inputs, function(item){
item.addEventListener('change', function(e){;
location.href = e.srcElement.value; // Redirect to value
});
});

<input type="radio" data-href='https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=9l5FU5L8C6KL8QfOz4GABA' name="order" id="noi" value="noi">
<label for="noi">Most Recent</label>
<input type="radio" data-href='https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=9l5FU5L8C6KL8QfOz4GABA' name="order" id="vechi" value="vechi" >
<label for="vechi">Most Old</label>
<input type="radio" data-href='https://www.google.co.in/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=9l5FU5L8C6KL8QfOz4GABA' name="order" id="aprec" value="aprec" >
<label for="aprec">Most Liked</label>
This should be your html
$('input[type='radio']').click(function()
{
window.location=$(this).attr('data-href')
});
You js here
Demo
Now without javascript or jquery
<input type="radio" name="order" id="vechi" value="vechi" >

function cal() with radio input

i created a form with cal() but im not able to make it work with radio input.
It worked with select and option, but now the value isnt taken.
here the code
<script>
function cal()
{
var pl=document.form1.template.value;
var resultat=pl;
document.form1.tresultat.value=resultat;
document.formfin.tresultatfin.value = calfin();
}
</script>
<form name="form1">
<label for="Template">Option 1 : Template</label>
<ul>
<li id="template"><label for="logo+texte">Logo et texte</label>
<input type="radio" id="test" name="template" value="500" onclick="cal()"></li>
<li><label for="base">Base</label>
<input type="radio" id="test" name="template" value="800" onclick="cal()"></li>
<li><label for="perso">Sur-Mesure</label>
<input type="radio" id="test" name="template" value="2900" onclick="cal()"></li></ul>
<input type="text" value="0" name="tresultat">
</form>
any idea to get the value in the text input when selected ?
thanks

Radio buttons are weird because there's a list of separate elements instead of just one. The simplest thing to do is to pass the element itself as a parameter:
function cal( button )
{
var pl = button.value;
var resultat=pl;
document.form1.tresultat.value=resultat;
document.formfin.tresultatfin.value = calfin();
}
and then change the radio buttons:
<input type="radio" id="test" name="template" value="800" onclick="cal( this )"></li>
passing this to the function.

Get radio button value which is outside a form post

I have a form which has some radio buttons which is outside this form.The html is as follows
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radios" value="radio1" checked>
<label for="radio1">Credit Card</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radios"value="radio2">
<label for="radio2">Debit Card</label>
<form method="post" action='./process.php'>
<label>name</label>
<input type="text"/>
<input type="submit" style="float:right" value="Pay Now"/>
</form>
When I press on the paynow button,i want to pass the value of button selected to the php of this form (process.php) .But I dont want to place the radio buttons inside the form.Is there any solution?

You could have a hidden value inside the form, onsubmit put the value of that radio button inside the hidden value
<input type="radio" name="test" value="a">a<br>
<input type="radio" name="test" value="b">b
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="test" id="hidden">
<submit onClick="transferData">
</form>
<script>
var transferData = function() {
var radioVal =$('input:radio[name=test]:checked').val()
$('#hidden').val(radioVal);
}
</script>

HTML5 supports an attribute called "form". You can use it to set the form for controls that are outside your form, like so:
<input type="radio" id="radio1" name="radios" value="radio1" checked>
<label form="myForm" for="radio1">Credit Card</label>
<input type="radio" id="radio2" name="radios"value="radio2">
<label form="myForm" for="radio2">Debit Card</label>
<form id="myForm" method="post" action='./process.php'>
<label>name</label>
<input type="text"/>
<input type="submit" style="float:right" value="Pay Now"/>
</form>
Note how id="myForm" is added to the form and form="myForm" is added to the radio-buttons. Hope that helped you.

Yeah, you could add a reference to jQuery, before the </body>. Then, using JQuery, you could select the checked radio button as follows:
var selected = $("input[type='radio']:checked");
if (selected.length > 0) {
selectedVal = selected.val();
}
The selectedVal parameter will hold the value you want.
The selection of the selected radio button should be done on the click event of submit button.
That could be done as follows:
$("input[type='submit']").click(function(){
// code goes here.
});

You must have a onsubmit attribute on your form, and inside, assign to a hidden field the selected radio button value.
Like this:
<form id='myForm' method="post" action='./process.php' onsubmit='getRadioButtonValue()'>
...
<input type="hidden" name="selectedRadioValue" />
</form>
function getRadioButtonValue(){
var radioValue = $('input[name=radios]:checked', '#myForm').val();
$('input[name='selectedRadioValue']').val(radioValue);
}

Put everything in the form. If you want to send all values. Add required attibute to your tags.
Other wise use jquery
<form id="test" method="POST">
<input type="text" id="name" required minlength="5" name="name"/>
<input type="password" id="pw" required name="pw"/>
<input id ="sub" type="submit"/>
</form>
<ul id="answer"></ul>
</body>
<script>
$("#sub").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
query = $.post({
url : 'check_ajax.php',
data : {'name': $('input[name=name]').val(), 'pw': $('#pw').val()},
});
query.done(function(response){
$('#answer').html(response);
});
});
</script>
All you need to do is to add the value of the option/input outside the form in the data

Use this onsubmit event!
$('input[name=radios]:checked').val()
