Hi,

Regarding form validation, does anyone know the code or what to do if you want only people with a certain username to be able to add to a database. So only people with the same email address extension can add entries into a database and if those email extensions dont match with a list, then the person gets a message saying invalid email. Onlypeople from company are be allowed into the website... thats why.

What scripting are you wanting to use?

You can do it with a combination of ASP & Javascript; for example, something like this.

<%

if request.form("username") = "yourdomain.com" then

response.redirect("yourpage.asp")

else

%>

<script language="javascript">

window.alert("Invalid Username")

window.history.go(-1)

</script>


<form>form action="" method="post">

<input type="text" name="username">

<input type="button" value="submit" name="submit">

</form>

Hi,

Im using just JSP - cant use ASP because of the way the system is setup, but that code looks very good! Can you tell me what the JSP code equivalent of the ASP code in the if statement is please - that would be very helpful!!! ?:)

Opps I forgot to add.... whats the extra code you need if there are more than one permitted email addresses that can be inserted into the database, kind of the code for a.a@domain1.com OR a.a@domain2.com

Thanks

I'm afraid I don't know the jsp equivalent - might have to search other forum's for that.

Hi,

How good is form validation anyway? Will it always work?

I was doing some testing and for some reason it stopped working! It started allowing blanks in the table!

Do versions of IE 3+ only support validation?

It's usually pretty failsafe as long as the client machine has javascript switched on.
