pl. advise me how do i validate the array values in javascript.
i am posting the code that i am currently using. the problem is that even after filling up all the values, i still keep getting the validation error message.
pl. advise me where am i wrong
function chkdate() {
var x = document.forms["main"]["date"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
document.forms["main"]["date"].focus();
document.forms["main"]["date"].style.background = 'red';
alert("Date Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
}
function chkempty() {
var len = document.forms["main"]["item[]"].length;
if (len == undefined) {
var ic = document.forms["main"]["item[]"].value;
var iq = document.forms["main"]["qty[]"].value;
var ip = document.forms["main"]["price[]"].value;
if (ic == null || ic == "") {
document.forms["main"]["item[]"].focus();
document.forms["main"]["item[]"].style.background = 'red';
alert("Item Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
if (iq == null || iq == "") {
document.forms["main"]["qty[]"].focus();
document.forms["main"]["qty[]"].style.background = 'red';
alert("Qty Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
if (ip == null || ip == "") {
document.forms["main"]["price[]"].focus();
document.forms["main"]["price[]"].style.background = 'red';
alert("Price Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
} else for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var ica = document.forms["main"]["item[]"][i].value;
var iqa = document.forms["main"]["qty[]"][i].value;
var ipa = document.forms["main"]["price[]"][i].value;
if (ica == null || ica == "") {
document.forms["main"]["item[]"][i].focus();
document.forms["main"]["item[]"][i].style.background = 'red';
alert("Item Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
if (iqa == null || iqa == "") {
document.forms["main"]["qty[]"][i].focus();
document.forms["main"]["qty[]"][i].style.background = 'red';
alert("Qty Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
if (ipa == null || ipa == "") {
document.forms["main"]["price[]"][i].focus();
document.forms["main"]["price[]"][i].style.background = 'red';
alert("Price Cannot be empty");
return false;
}
}
}
other details are:-
form name: main
the input boxes item,qty and price are dynamic rows based on user's requirement.
thanks all.
I suggest you as first point to use JQuery in conjunction with validate plugin.
Then for your case follow this example that works fine for me:
$("#testform").validate({
rules: {'qty[]': {required: true,minlength: 1},
//other rules here
},
messages: {
'qty[]': "Select at least one qty",
//other custom error msgs go here
}
});
<input name="qty[]" id="1" value="1" type="checkbox" />
<input name="qty[]" id="2" value="2" type="checkbox" />
<input name="qty[]" id="3" value="3" type="checkbox" />
N.B. that the name of the field of array values must be specified with quotes ('qty[]')
or else you'll get a js error.

I have a form with inputs
Fist name
Last name
Password
Etc
Current my validation works one by one. I would like to integrate them into one pop up box.
Example currently:
All not filled up; upon submission it would pop up First name not filled. I want it to be First name not filled, last name not filled etc
function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["firstname"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
alert("First Name must be filled out");
return false;
}
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["lastname"].value;

if (password != confirmPassword) {
alert("Passwords do not match.");
return false;
}
var checkb = document.getElementById('checkboxid');

Add a flag called error and a string called errorMessage, then in each if statement, if there is an error, make error = true and append error message.
Then when submitted, if error == true, alert errorMessage
You can add an <ul> in your html form where you want to show errors
Example
<ul class="errorContainer"></ul>
Then JS
function validateForm() {
var errors = "";
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["firstname"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
errors +="<li>First Name must be filled out</li>";
}
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["lastname"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
errors +="<li>Last Name must be filled out</li>";
}
var status = false;
var emailRegEx = /^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i;
if (document.forms["myForm"]["email"].value.search(emailRegEx) == -1) {
errors +="<li>Please enter a valid email address.</li>";
}
var status = false;
var paswordregex = /^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\d)[A-Za-z\d]{8,}$/;
if (document.forms["myForm"]["password"].value.search(paswordregex) == -1) {
errors +="<li>Please enter a at least 8 alphanumeric characters</li>";
}
var password = document.getElementById("password").value;
var confirmPassword = document.getElementById("confirmpassword").value;
if (password != confirmPassword) {
errors +="<li>Passwords do not match.</li>";
}
var checkb = document.getElementById('checkboxid');
if (checkb.checked != true) {
errors +="<li>Agree to privacy agreement must be checked</li>";
}
if(errors!="")
{
$(".errorContainer").html(errors);
return false;
} else {
status = true;
return status;
}
}
I have a form myForm and I want to check if specific input field are filled out before sending the form. I'm very new to JavaScript so I don't really know what I did wrong. Any help is welcomed.
function validateForm() {
var validate = true;
var alert_string = "";
var children = $("#myForm").children("input");
console.log(children.size());
for(var i = 0; i < children.length ; i++){
if(children[i].attr(id).substring(0,8) != "ABC_FLAT"){
if(children[i].attr(id) == null || children[i].attr(id) == ""){
validate = false;
alert_string = alert_string.concat(childrern[i].attr(id)).concat(", ");
}
}
}
alert_string = alert_string.concat("must be filled out !");
if(validate == false){
alert(alert_string);
return false;
}
return true;
}
children[i].attr(id) == "" // wrong
You don't have to check whether their ids are null, you have to check whether their values are empty :)
if(children[i].value == "")
Since you are already using jQuery, you can simplify that code to a great extent. For example a simple "all fields filled" check can be
var flag=0;
$('#myForm').each(function() {
if ( $(this).val() === '' )
flag=1;
});
if you'll use jQuery, you can check the input fields if empty AND trap also white space/s. Add a class to all input fields , e.g. class="required" and add attribute fieldname with respective value for each input field.
var requiredFields = "";
$("#myForm").find('.required').each(function () {
if ($(this).val().trim().length == 0) {
requiredFields += " - " + $(this).attr("fieldname") + "\n";
}
});
if (requiredFields != "") {
alert("Please enter the following required field(s): \n" + requiredFields);
} else {
//save here
}
You can use required like <input required type="text" name="email" id="log" /> or use jQuery like
$("form").submit(function() {
var has_empty = false;
$(this).find('input').each(function() {
if(! $(this).val()) {
has_empty = true;
return false;
}
});
if(has_empty){return false;}
});
I have a page that I need to disable the email field on. It needs to be readonly and dimmed. I've never worked with PHP before, and I assume that's what this code is, but, I'm not sure where I would disable the email field. Here's the code I have so far:
/**
* Validate our form fields
*/
var emailField, passwordField, confirmField, formfields = FormField.GetValues(%%GLOBAL_EditAccountAccountFormFieldID%%);
for (var i=0; i<formfields.length; i++) {
var rtn = FormField.Validate(formfields[i].field);
if (!rtn.status) {
alert(rtn.msg);
FormField.Focus(formfields[i].field);
return false;
}
if (formfields[i].privateId == 'EmailAddress') {
emailField = formfields[i];
} else if (formfields[i].privateId == 'Password') {
passwordField = formfields[i];
} else if (formfields[i].privateId == 'ConfirmPassword') {
confirmField = formfields[i];
}
}
if(emailField.value.indexOf("#") == -1 || emailField.value.indexOf(".") == -1) {
alert("%%LNG_AccountEnterValidEmail%%");
FormField.Focus(emailField.field);
return false;
}
if((passwordField.value != "" || confirmField.value != "") && (passwordField.value != confirmField.value)) {
alert("%%LNG_AccountPasswordsDontMatch%%");
FormField.Focus(confirmField.field);
return false;
}
return true;
}
%%GLOBAL_FormFieldRequiredJS%%
//]]>
To display a disabled texfield, you should output:
echo '<input type="email" name="name_of_field" value="email_to_display#gmail.com" disabled>';
Example:
See here (and have a look at the code):

Perhaps if we had a link to the website we could have a look a it :)
I am having a hard time trying to do a correct form validation. I have Name, Email, and Phone Number fields. I implemented the validation check for all of them and when I click on the submit query, it returns email as false, but not anything else. It also will still submit the form. How do I fix this?
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/GVQpL/
JavaScript Code:
function validateForm(/*fullName, email, phoneNumber*/)
{
//-------------------------NAME VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var fullNameV = document.forms["queryForm"]["fullName"].value;
if (fullNameV == null || fullNameV == "")
{
alert("Name must be filled out!");
return false;
}
else if(fullNameV.indexOf(" ") <= fullNameV.length)
{
alert("Not a valid name");
return false;
}
//-------------------------EMAIL VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var emailV = document.forms["queryForm"]["email"].value;
if (emailV == null || emailV == "")
{
alert("Email must be filled out!");
return false;
}
var atpos = emailV.indexOf("#");
var dotpos = emailV.lastIndexOf(".");
if (atpos < 1 || dotpos < atpos + 2 || dotpos + 2 >= x.length)
{
alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
return false;
}
//-------------------------PHONE # VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var phoneNumberV = document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].value;
if (phoneNumberV == null || phoneNumberV == "")
{
alert("Phone Number must be filled out!");
return false;
}
var error = "";
var stripped = phoneNumberV.replace(/[\(\)\.\-\ ]/g, '');
if (phoneNumberV == "")
{
error = alert("You didn't enter a phone number.\n");
phoneNumberV.style.background = 'Yellow';
}
else if (isNaN(parseInt(stripped)))
{
error = alert("The phone number contains illegal characters.\n");
phoneNumberV.style.background = 'Yellow';
}
else if (!(stripped.length == 10))
{
error = alert("The phone number is the wrong length. Make sure you included an area code.\n");
phoneNumberV.style.background = 'Yellow';
}
return error;
}
Update your fiddle's html for the function to be called onsubmit="return validateForm()" and removed the required="required" changed your function to work, you can see it here:
http://jsfiddle.net/GVQpL/3/
function validateForm(/*fullName, email, phoneNumber*/)
{
//-------------------------NAME VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var fullNameV = document.forms["queryForm"]["fullName"].value;
if (fullNameV == null || fullNameV == "")
{
alert("Name must be filled out!");
document.forms["queryForm"]["fullName"].focus();
return false;
}
else if(fullNameV.indexOf(" ") >= fullNameV.length)
{
alert("Not a valid name");
document.forms["queryForm"]["fullName"].focus();
return false;
}
//-------------------------EMAIL VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var emailV = document.forms["queryForm"]["email"].value;
if (emailV == null || emailV == "")
{
alert("Email must be filled out!");
document.forms["queryForm"]["email"].focus();
return false;
}
var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+#([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/;
if(!emailReg.test(emailV)){
alert("Not a valid e-mail address");
document.forms["queryForm"]["email"].focus();
return false;
}
//-------------------------PHONE # VALIDATION-----------------------------//
var phoneNumberV = document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].value;
if (phoneNumberV == null || phoneNumberV == "")
{
alert("Phone Number must be filled out!");
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].focus();
return false;
}
var error = "";
var stripped = phoneNumberV.replace(/[\(\)\.\-\ ]/g, '');
if (phoneNumberV == "")
{
alert("You didn't enter a phone number.\n");
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].focus()
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].style.background = 'Yellow';
return false;
}
else if (isNaN(parseInt(stripped)))
{
alert("The phone number contains illegal characters.\n");
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].focus();
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].style.background = 'Yellow';
return false;
}
else if (!(stripped.length == 10))
{
alert("The phone number is the wrong length. Make sure you included an area code.\n");
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].focus();
document.forms["queryForm"]["phoneNumber"].style.background = 'Yellow';
return false;
}
if(!confirm('Are you sure you want to submit your DSLR query?')){
return false;
}
return true;
}
I have the following form:
<form name="survey1" action="add5up.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validateForm()">
<div id="question">Q1) My programme meets my expectations</div><br />
Always<INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='q1' value= 'a'>
Usually<INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='q1' value= 'b'>
Rarely<INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='q1' value= 'c'>
Never<INPUT TYPE = 'Radio' Name ='q1' value= 'd'>
<input type="submit" value="addData" />
</form>
I am trying to validate whether a Radio button has been selected.
The code I am using:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateForm()
{
if( document.forms["survey1"]["q1"].checked)
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert('Please answer all questions');
return false;
}
}
</script>
This is not working. Any ideas?
When using radiobuttons you have to go through to check if any of them is checked, because javascript threats them as an array:
<script type="text/javascript">
function validateRadio (radios)
{
for (i = 0; i < radios.length; ++ i)
{
if (radios [i].checked) return true;
}
return false;
}
function validateForm()
{
if(validateRadio (document.forms["survey1"]["q1"]))
{
return true;
}
else
{
alert('Please answer all questions');
return false;
}
}
</script>

My solution for validation complex forms include radios.
Usage is simple, function return TRUE/FALSE after validation.
var rs_target is ID of form
scTo is my custom func to scroll to ID, you can use own function to show/scroll errors
scTo("#"+err_target);
Error box will be like
<div class="rq_message_box rq_message_box_firstname display-none">err message</div>
Validation
var validation = validateForm(rs_target);
if(validation == false){
return false;
}
Function
function validateForm(rs_target) {
var radio_arr = [];
var my_form = $("#"+rs_target);
my_form = my_form[0];
$(".rq_message_box").hide(); //clear all errors
//console.log(my_form);
var err = false;
var err_target = "";
for (key in my_form) {
//console.log("do");
if(!my_form[key]||my_form[key]==null||err){
break;
}
//console.log(my_form[key].name);
var x = my_form[key].value;
//console.log(x);
if(my_form[key].type == "radio"){
//console.log("radio");
if(radio_arr[my_form[key].name] != true){
radio_arr[my_form[key].name] = null;
}
if(my_form[key].checked){
radio_arr[my_form[key].name] = true;
}
}else{
if (x == null || x == "") {
//console.log(form[key].name.toString() + " must be filled out");
err = true;
err_target = my_form[key].name;
//return false;
}
}
}
//console.log(radio_arr);
var rad_err = false;
for (key in radio_arr) {
if(rad_err){
break;
}
var x = radio_arr[key];
if (x == null || x == "") {
//console.log("RADIO> "+key + " must be filled out");
rad_err = true;
err_target = key;
}
}
if(err || rad_err){
// some error stuff, for me show prepared error/help box with class [".rq_message_box_"+err_target] / err_target is name of input like [.rq_message_box_firsname]
$(".rq_message_box_"+err_target).show(); //show error message for input
scTo("#"+err_target); //scroll to - custom func
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
