Which calls up my javascript and php file (The php file should only be used when the javascript has found no errors).
Now I have a js file which does some validation
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_required(field,alerttxt) {
with (field) {
if (value==null||value=="") {
alert(alerttxt);
return false;
}
else {
return true;
}
}
}
function validate_email(field,alerttxt) {
with (field) {
apos=value.indexOf("@")
dotpos=value.lastIndexOf(".")
if (apos<1||dotpos-apos<2) {
alert(alerttxt);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
}
function validate_form(thisform) {
with (thisform) {
if (validate_required(name,"Please specify your name!")==false) {
name.focus();
return false;
}
if (validate_required(sender,"Please specify the receivers name!")==false) {
sender.focus();
return false;
}
if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false) {
email.focus();
return false;
}
if (validate_email(email,"Not a valid e-mail address!")==false) {
email.focus();
return false;
}
}
}
</script>
When I run it on my server, I get the form and enter nothing into it, I just click submit. However, it goes straight to the php file and brings up my flash movie, which it shouldnt do. When nothing is entered, the js file should return the error. I thought I had everything set up correctly, but obviously not. Can someone see where I am going wrong?
cheers
