JavaScript form validation (stop form submit prior to the selection of the option chosen)

I check that a "month" has been selected in the options field in a form, which works ok (code below)

< script type = "text/javascript" >

<!--

function checkDayUpdate() {}

var dm = document.forms.dayUpdate.dayMonth.value;

inform the customer to select a month to view

If (dm == null | dm == "Select Month")

{

Alert ("Please select a month to view");

Returns false;

}

} / / end of function

->

< /script >

BUT as soon as I click on the 'OK' prompt in the JavaScript "alert box" in to go back and pick a month I get immediately redirected to the page in the field of 'action' forms until I have a chance to select the month.

< form name = "dayUpdate" method = "post" action = "updateDays.php" onsubmit ="checkDayUpdate ()" > "

How can I prevent that from happening?

See you soon

Operating system

You don't say how you trigger the function. Assuming you are using the onsubmit as opening event:

onsubmit = "return checkDayUpdate()".

Note that you must return the result of the function, not just run it.

  • (Redirected) Distributor of DELL is ripped off of something - guaranteed valid to a date prior to the purchase

    Hello.

    The distributor of DELL that I chose, sold me a laptop, well, but when I connect to the DELL Web site with my service tag security seems to have started 4 months before my purchase.

    I need DELL Europe or DELL WE directly contact to complain about my Distributor. I am from Bulgaria, and DELL are not present in Bulgaria (directly), only to resellers.

    I searched and searched for DELL website to find a way to complain, but all that it redirects me is the list of the resellers for my country. Of course, I need to ignore them and pass over them to complain about the specific dealer.

    There must be a way to tell DELL what one of their tricks on me tire dealers.

    Help, please.

    Hi martinch8002,

    You have purchased from a Distributor, who bought this pc four months ago. The guarantee starts when the laptop was purchased. I don't know may be modified on this something, but transfer your question in the forum we see customer service.

  • Data validation JavaScript form composite valid so that a single grid

    Hi all

    I created a validateData.js validation to check if some cells in my data form contains data before the data will be saved. When the cell is missing, a warning is displayed to inform the user and economy action is aborted. It works quite well for a single form of data, but using this composite form I would like to run the validation only to the first form. I think it should be possible to run the validation only for the first grid using dataGridArray [0], but now I have the idea of how put this in my script. Can some help me with that?

    Thank you

    function validateCell() {}
    var valid = true;

    for (r = currentDataGrid.startRow; r < currentDataGrid.numberGridRows; r ++) {}

    If ((grille [r] [1]! = manquant) |) (grid [r] [2]! = missing). (grille [r] [3]! = manquant)) {
    If ((grille [r] [1] == manque) |) (grid [r] [2] == lack). (grid [r] [3] is lack)) {

    validated = false;

    }
    }
    }
    If (! validated) {}
    Alert ("all the fields to fill need");
    }
    Return (Validated);
    }

    If you are using

    currentDataGrid = dataGridArray [0];

    You can then access a value in a cell in the grid using the

    currentDataGrid.fullPrecision [row] [col]

    You must provide the values of line and neck or you could scroll the cells.

    See you soon

  • How can a form has been submitted via: onchange = 'this.form.submit ()'

    I'm hoping that it might be a simple answer to the question below.

    I have a page with a form and the form Send call the same exact page forms on. When I check the form variables after the submit button the form.button2 variable exists and has a value when I use a button to send the page.


    However, during the presentation of the page via OnChange ='this. Form.Submit () ' no form variable is being updated to reflect that the page submitted by the user.


    Is it possible to force a form variable to update so I can see that the user has come form this control through javascript?

    Use a hidden field instead of depend on the value of the button. The values button is present only if the user actually clicks on the button. By using the form submit event via a code or even the user pressing enter instead of clicking the button will result does no interest button is displayed.

  • How can I find this process form.submit code?

    I'm doing an analysis of the code for the services of the Complutense University of MADRID. I started with CHECKIN_NEW_FORM and finally, finished in std_page.htm, where a postCheckInStandard function executes a command Form.Submit ();

    I understand that at this stage a request to the server is created - follow-up of the 'requestaudit' I know that he runs the CHECKIN_NEWservice.

    However, my question is, what piece of code determines what service should be run? What is something described on the front-end server (by definition of the code connects to the CHECKIN_NEW_FORM), or if it establishes as the back-end? If the latter, how can you find the relevant part of the code?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Check the javascript code in the page. You will see that there is a line that by default is the chain of service:

    var checkinService = "CHECKIN_NEW";

    A lot of the form submission and processing is done within the function of js postCheckIn.

    Thank you

  • Want to write the results to submit the login form to log on the server

    I cooked up a little family site to share memories and old photos. This is a members only site and I use a PHP login script that compares the user name and password to a list.

    I would like to know
    (a) if someone tries to guess their way in.
    (b) If a member is having connection problems... We have a few not so computer savvy family members which eventually get frustrated and give up.
    (c) whose members are logging... It is a new effort, to run one year on a trial basis... and it is worth.

    To do this, I add code to take the results of any shipment (on my login form) and to add the results of this to some sort of log file that I can periodically review. Because the foundations are in place this (I think) not an otherwise difficult task. But I have no idea on how to do this and hope someone can show me.

    Thank you for your time and help

    Ralph

    If it helps, it's the PHP code that I guess deals with the connection.

    / Repairable none by the user under this item. */

    $php_self = $_SERVER ['PHP_SELF'];

    / * Clean up variables: we only do $user and $password of the form. */
    $submit = $_POST ['submit'];
    $user = ";
    $password = ";
    If ($_GET ['user']) {}
    $user = $_GET ['user'];
    $password = $_GET ["password"];
    }
    If ($_POST ['user']) {}
    $user = $_POST ['user'];
    $password = $_POST ["password"];
    }

    session_start();

    / * Check the couple login/password until you find the one that is correct, or re-display the login form. */
    $loginsuccessful = FALSE;

    {foreach ($authorization as $loginpair)}
    {If (($user == $loginpair[0]) & & ($password == {$loginpair [1]}))}
    $_SESSION ['user'] = $user;
    $_SESSION ["password"] = $password;
    $loginsuccessful = TRUE;
    }
    {If (($_SESSION ['user'] == $loginpair[0]) & & ($_SESSION ['password'] == {$loginpair [1]}))}
    $loginsuccessful = TRUE;
    }
    }

    If ($loginsuccessful = TRUE) {}
    / * The user is connected, go on our merry way. */
    echo $loginmsg;
    } else {}
    / * User does not match our valid connection, their decline to the form. */
    $loginmsg = "invalid username or password";
    require ($indexphp);
    "exit";
    }

    No, it's not particularly difficult. Of course, you use a login script you obtained, because the code is very different from the one generated by Dreamweaver. Judging from the code, you do not use a database to store the usernames and passwords. Thus, you probably want to save the details of an external text file.

    Add the following code where indicated:

    if ($_POST['user']) {
        $user = $_POST['user'];
        $password = $_POST['password'];
    }
    
    // New code goes here
    
    $logfile = 'log.txt';
    $date = date('j M Y H:i:s');
    $address = 'Unknown';
    if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])) {
         $address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
    if ($file = fopen($logfile, 'a')) {
      fwrite($file, "\r\n$date $address $user $password");
      fclose($file);
    }
    
    // end of new code
    
    session_start();
    

    This will create a text file named log.txt in the same folder as the logon script. Since it is a text file, it should ideally be outside the root of the web server, then you must change the value of $logfile to point to a file outside of the root of the server, but in a folder where the script is allowed to write.

    Whenever someone tries to connect, it will record the date and time, IP address, if known, and the user name and password submitted.

    Once you got this job, I suggest you change the following line:

    if ($file = fopen($logfile, 'a')) {
    

    Change to this:

    if ($file = @fopen($logfile, 'a')) {
    

    This will remove any error message if the script is unable to open the log file. However, you should not do that change until you have things market, because deleting an error will prevent you to discover what the problem is if this does not work.

  • Submit the stop does not work when the Validation Code is executed

    Hi all!

    I would like to thank all those who help now, just in case I forgot to thank later.

    I worked on a form that collects a persons name, phone number, and type of event and send it to my email address (its for a catering company). Everything worked until I added a validation code that would ensure people were filling out the form, so I wouldn't take empty email.

    The Validation Code that I currently have is:

    function formValidationChecks() {}
    Import mx.controls.Alert;
    If {(name_txt.length == 0)
    _Global.styles.alert.SetStyle ("color", 0 x 000099);
    Alert.Show ("Name is a required field.", "Caution");
    Selection.setFocus ("name_txt");
    }
    Else if (phone_txt.length == 0) {}
    _Global.styles.alert.SetStyle ("color", 0 x 000099);
    Alert.Show ("phone is a required field.", "Caution");
    Selection.setFocus ("phone_txt");
    }
    Else if (event_txt.length == 0) {}
    _Global.styles.alert.SetStyle ("color", 0 x 000099);
    Alert.Show ("Event is a required field.", "Caution");
    Selection.setFocus ("event_txt");
    }

    }

    Once the form is completed and the user presses the button send, additional code is executed:

    on (release) {}
    {if (formValidationChecks ())}
    mySendVars = new LoadVars();
    mySendVars.name = name_txt.text;
    mySendVars.phone = phone_txt.text;
    mySendVars.event = event_txt.text;
    mySendVars.email = "[email protected]";
    mySendVars.send ("sendmail.asp", "_self", "POST");
    }

    }

    As everything is now, if I don't fill in all areas, he spits back my warning, but if everything is filled in and press the button submit, nothing happens, no email...

    It became frustrating... any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You bet, I'm glad it helped.

  • Blind form submit on Landing Pages?

    You can add a store form submit to a landing page? I know that they are generally used in emails, but just curious.

    No problem.

    You need to create the blind form submit URL (same process as in an email: Eloqua10: trigger multiple actions with a click-through email (via 'send blind form')). You probably need to add a few mergers field (if the page where the blind form submit lives is a landing page Eloqua) or some sort of database search to fill in the values of the blind form submit URL.

    For example:

    http://s[SITE_ID].t.Eloqua.com/e/F2?elqFormName=[ELQ_FORM_NAME]&elqSiteID= [SITE_ID] &EmailAddress= email & retURL = [URL_TO_THE_ASSET]

    In the above example, the e-mail address must be dynamic and a merger of field was used.

    How is it that when I click on clear form Acrobat is option clears all fields populated by a JavaScript document level and if I save them the start of the JavaScript document level form is no longer works?

    Or a link to the form or a sample with the same problem.

    You only set the function to run but not executed.

    You should add a line like:

    AtStartup();

    to your script.

    As noted if you have been set "defaultValue" to the fields, then clear the fields would remove any entry present and restore the default values.

    Or you could write a custom JavaScript to clear the fields and then run your startup script.

    OK, I re-read your question. It's actually expected behavior. The user must manually send the email.

    If you want it to be a silent process, then you must either install a script on the local computer of the user who will do this, or use any email but something as a service web to which you directly submit the form data.
