I have developed a website and have included a form for new members to register. The website is coded in such a way that the Form is generated in ASP. This means that when I insert the JavaScript to validate the ASP form it won't work. Does anyone know how to validate it using Javascript without having to recreate the page so that the form isnt generated using ASP.

The ASP code is shown below:

<%
Content = "" 'Clear the Content string
QStr = Request.QueryString("login") 'Save the login querystring to QStr

if ucase(left(QStr,6))="CREATE" then
Title = "Registration"
else
Title = "Login"
end if

'The code below saves the contents the table must have in the variable Content
'The content depends on what's in the QueryString


'The form below is the form that I want to Validate using JavaScript. I want to validate all the usual items such as valid email, correct format age and salary and no fields left blank etc

if QStr="createnew" then
Content = Content & "<form name=frmCreate action=create.asp Method=post>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Username: <input type=text name=txtUsername></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td >Password: <input type=password name=txtPassword></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>First name: <input type=text name=txtFirstName></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Surname: <input type=text name=txtLastName></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Address: <input type=text name=txtAddress></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>County: <input type=text name=txtCounty></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Postcode: <input type=text name=txtPostcode></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Age: <input type=text name=txtAge></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Income: <input type=text name=txtAnnualIncome></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Gender: <input type=text name=txtGender></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>E-mail Address: <input type=text name=txtEmail></td></tr>"

Content = Content & "<tr><td ><input type=submit name=submit value=Register <td></tr>"

Content = Content & "</form>"

%>

'The following is code is where the table is generated to show the registration form

<table border="1" cellspacing="5" width="350px">
    <%
    Response.Write("<tr><td valign=top align=center><strong>" & Title & "</strong></td></tr>")
    Response.Write(Content) ' Paste the contents in the table
    %>
  </table>


If anyone knows how it can be done I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

Gareth,

Do it the same way you're creating the form. Just add the javascript to the Content variable you're carrying.

Content = Content & " <script language='JavaScript'>function formSubmit() { var success = True ... yada yada ... return success }</script>"

Be sure when you define your form you do it like:
Content = Content & "<form name=frmCreate action=create.asp Method=post onsubmit='return formSubmit()'>"

I am still having trouble. the problem is that i'm not sure exactly how to enter the javascript code so that the valdation can execute properly. The code below is how I inserted the javascript. Any suggestions on what i am doing wrong. I am still a begginner so i am still stuggling to understand everything:

elseif QStr="createnew" then
Content = Content & "<script language=javascript>

function checkForm(form) {
    var errors = '';
    var numErrors = 0;

    if (!isValidEmail(form.txtEmail.value)) {
     errors += '- The email field is not valid.\\n';
     numErrors++;
    }


    if (form.txtFirstName.value=="") {
     errors += '- You must enter a forename.\\n';
     numErrors++;
    }

    if (form.txtFirstname.value=="") {
     errors += '- You must enter a First Name.\\n';
     numErrors++;
    }

    if (form.txtEmail.value=="") {
     errors += '- You must enter an email address.\\n';
     numErrors++;
    }

    if (form.txtAddress.value=="") {
     errors += '- You must enter an address.\\n';
     numErrors++;
    }

    if (numErrors) {
     errors = 'The form was not submitted due to the following problem' + ((numErrors > 1) ? 's' : '') + ':\\n' + errors + 'Pl
ease fix ' + ((numErrors > 1) ? 'these' : 'this') + ' problem' + ((numErrors > 1) ? 's' : '') + ' and resubmit the form.';
     alert(errors);
     return false;
    }
    return true;
   }</script>"
        Content = Content & "<form name=frmCreate action=create.asp Method=post onsubmit=return formSubmit()>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Username: <input type=text name=txtUsername></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td >Password: <input type=password name=txtPassword></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>First name: <input type=text name=txtFirstName></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Surname: <input type=text name=txtLastName></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Address: <input type=text name=txtAddress></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>County: <input type=text name=txtCounty></td></tr>"

        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Postcode: <input type=text name=txtPostcode></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Age: <input type=text name=txtAge></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Income: <input type=text name=txtAnnualIncome></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>Gender: <input type=text name=txtGender></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><br>E-mail Address: <input type=text name=txtEmail></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "<tr><td ><input type=submit name=formSubmit value=Register onsubmit=javascript:return ValidateForm(this)></td></tr>"
        Content = Content & "</form>"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
