Question

Validate form?

Asked by: Kouras

Hi, guys
Is the any way to validate the form fields in code below, that if the fields are haven't been filled, the error would appear against "your name", "your e-mail" showing something like : you didn't enter a valid e-mail address......... and so on.

<HTML>
<body>
<%
if request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "GET" then
%>
<center>
<form action="file.asp" method=post>
<table><tr><td>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFF33" size="2">
Your Name:</font><br> <input type="text" size="53" name="strName">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFF33" size="2">
Recipient Email:</font><br> <input type="text" size="53" name="strTo">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFF33" size="2">
Recipient2 Email:</font><br> <input type="text" size="53" name="strCc">
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#FFFF33" size="2">
Your message:</font><br>
<textarea cols="33" rows="8" name="message">
</textarea>
</td></tr>
</table>
<p><input type=submit name=send value=Send >  
<input type="Reset" value="Reset"></p>
</form></center>
<%

else
strName=request("strName")
strTo=request("strTo")
strCc=request("strCc")
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.Importance = 1
objMail.From = request("strName") & "<" & request("strEmail") & ">"
objMail.To = request("strTo")
objMail.Cc = request("strCc")
objMail.Subject = "A wallpaper for you"

' this is my messages HTML

strMsg = strMsg & "</title>"
strMsg = strMsg & "</head>"
strMsg = strMsg & "<body>"
strMsg = strMsg & "Sometext"
strMsg = strMsg & request("message")
strMsg = strMsg & "</body>"
strMsg = strMsg & "</html>"
' set the format of the email to html, etc
objMail.BodyFormat = 0
objMail.MailFormat = 0
objMail.Body = strMsg
objMail.Send

' destroy the email object
Set objMail = Nothing

by: suryaperiPosted on 2003-04-09 at 00:15:18ID: 8297682

the validation is possible on client side by javascript:

the changes made in ur code are:
1. javascript code has been added as function f1()

2. f1() is called on onclick event of submit button.

3. A <div></div> has been added after every field for validation
4. form has been assigned a name frm1

as soon as the form is submitted, the function f1() executes and validates the form.
now u copy the following code and check whether what u intended is happening or not:

<HTML>
<script>
function f1()
{
var blnIsValid=true
if(document.frm1.strName.value=="")
{
document.getElementById("nameerr").innerHTML ="U forgot to enter name"
document.frm1.strName.focus()
blnIsValid= false
}
else
{
document.getElementById("nameerr").innerHTML =""
}
if(document.frm1.strTo.value=="")
{
document.getElementById("toerr").innerHTML ="U forgot to enter Recipient Email id"
document.frm1.strTo.focus()
blnIsValid= false
}
else
{
document.getElementById("toerr").innerHTML =""
}

if(document.frm1.strCc.value=="")
{
document.getElementById("ccerr").innerHTML ="U forgot to enter Recipient2 Email id"
document.frm1.strCc.focus()
blnIsValid= false
}
else
{
document.getElementById("ccerr").innerHTML =""
}

if(document.frm1.message.value=="")
{
document.getElementById("msgerr").innerHTML ="U forgot to enter message"
document.frm1.message.focus()
blnIsValid= false
}
else
{

i forgot to mention another thing. After showing the error messages against the fields, if u reset the fields the error messages have to be cleared. for that write a function clear1 as follows and call it in onclick event of reset button.

function clear1()
{
document.getElementById("nameerr").innerHTML =""
document.getElementById("toerr").innerHTML =""
document.getElementById("ccerr").innerHTML =""
document.getElementById("msgerr").innerHTML =""
}

u can call this function on onclick event of reset button as :

<input type="Reset" value="Reset" onClick="clear1()">

and also on onload event of body tag as:

<body onload="clear1()">

plz do comment on my reply as i worked a lot to answer ur question.

by: KourasPosted on 2003-04-09 at 07:06:16ID: 8299764

Sorry,but neither of your scripts are working, guys.
With gladxml script: when I click on submit button the form appearing again with thank you words on the top......
With suryaperi script: clicking submit with empty fields and it returns thank you words.....no validation?

Anyway, sorry 4 bothering you guys.

Thanx to all of you for attention.

by: suryaperiPosted on 2003-04-09 at 07:21:29ID: 8299880

dear kouras,

do u want to have validation checking in asp after submit or in javascript.

i have tested my script. it doesnot allow to submit till u have entered all the fields then how thank you words will come on submit.

have u copied entire script of mine or not?

try once again as i have tested it

by: KourasPosted on 2003-04-09 at 09:04:01ID: 8300679

Sorry, suryaperi
....it works with validation, but when i receive e-mail there's only subject and message, the strMsg = strMsg & "Sometext" is not there , do you know why?

by: KourasPosted on 2003-04-09 at 09:11:05ID: 8300733

suryaperi , no worries, I sorted it out... I will accept your answer. Can you answer some more questions, please:
You javascript code only for validation, I mean if I have javascript disabled, I will still be able to use the form, but just without validation, am I right?

Thanx a lot

by: suryaperiPosted on 2003-04-10 at 00:40:48ID: 8305343

actaully if javascript is disabled then form will run without validation but with some errors:

1) in body onload u called clear1() function.
2) in submit button onclick u called f1() function.
3) in reset button onclick u called clear1() function.

as javascript is disabled these function are not found and error occurs. so u remove these events from <body> and both button tags. then the form will work better but without validation

Kouras,

Basically this is the question:

<<<
the error would appear against "your name", "your e-mail" showing something like

This requirement can only be achieve using server side... Unlike client side the message appears as a messagebox...

BTW below is the working code for validation using server side...

      error = "true"
end if
if request("strCC") = "" then
erroremail2 = "You didn't enter a valid e-mail address."
      error = "true"
end if
if request("message") = "" then
errormessage = "You didn't enter any messages."
      error = "true"
end if

end if

if error = "false" then
strName=request("strName")
strTo=request("strTo")
strCc=request("strCc")

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.Importance = 1

<<<

Yes but without but without the validation... And when you run the code and actually submit the pages without any email address you will have an error with sending of email script...

Many uses both approaches in a page so that if the client scripting is disabled you can still check for errors on server side...

Another things please do check your open question...

Thanx gladxml for explanation, if I could I would award you too. As for other open questions I posted...I solved them, so I don't even look at them, if I could delete them, I would've done that. Hope you are not that angry on me:)))

Thanx guys all of you!

Kouras,

Of course I am not angry with you...

If you wish to delete the question, you can post a zero-point question with Community Support (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Community_Support/qAskQuestion.jsp). Include a link to all the question that needs to be deleted.

Also it is much better to comment your solution to the question.. to notify the experts who had joined in that thread...

If you want to awards some point to me you can follow this steps...

You can post a "Points for <expertname>" Q for the expert(s) in the same topic area when you want to reward their help.

1) Post the link to the original Q in the "Points for <expertname>" and
2) Add in the original Q a comment with the link to the "Points for <expertname>", thus the email notif will warn the expert.

HTH...

gladxml ,
I will award you for the next question, coz I haven't got points much now.....And the other thing , is the any way to post a question for example for 10 or 15 points? Coz, when I sometimes search on google, and there's one of the pages on this site coming up with some person's question for 10 points, I'm thinking why I've got limit 20? Maybe that page out of date( rules have changed)?

Kouras,

Actually what you see is 100 points... If the question is anwered they strip off the last digit of the points...
