javascript_howto thread: Form Validation


Message #1 by "Daryl Isaacs" <idaryl@d...> on Mon, 23 Dec 2002 02:06:36
I have a problem with a javascript form validation script I'm currently 
using. The script below is what I normally use - however I added " }
        else{ 
          alert("All ok");
          return true; " [I commented it out]
so it would notify the user that they had filled in the form correctly prior 
to submission. If I leave it out it works fine, but the client wants it to tell 
them the form is OK. What am I doing wrong here? Any ideas?

function contactCheck() 
    {
        if (document.contactform.first_name.value == "") 
        {
        alert("First Name | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour first 
name\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!.");
        document.contactform.first_name.focus();
        return false;
        }
        
        if (document.contactform.last_name.value == "") 
        {
        alert("Last Name | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour last 
name\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!.");
        document.contactform.last_name.focus();
        return false;
        }
        
        if (document.contactform.submit_by.value.indexOf("@") == -1 ||
        document.contactform.submit_by.value == "") 
        {
        alert("Email Address | Problem:\n\nYou forgot to enter\nyour 
email\n\nPlease enter it\n\nThis entry is required!.");
        document.contactform.submit_by.focus();
        return false;
        
       // }
        // else{ 
         // alert("All ok");
          // return true;
        
        }
   }
