Re: Newbie problem checking input fields

DaveForgotHisEngineering a écrit :

I suspect that the function isEmpty() is not being run
when the user clicks submit. Thanks in advance for any suggestions
you can offer.

function isEmpty()
{
var a=document.getElementsByName("Name:").value.length ;
var b=document.getElementsByName("Email:").value.lengt h;
var c=document.getElementsByName("Telephone:").value.l ength;
var d=document.getElementsByName("City:").value.length ;
var e=document.getElementsByName("State:").value.lengt h;
var f=document.getElementsByName("Comments").value.len gth;

// and where do you look if the elements's values are empty ?

var a=document.getElementsByName("Name:").value.length >0;
var b=document.getElementsByName("Email:").value.lengt h>0;
var c=document.getElementsByName("Telephone:").value.l ength>0;
var d=document.getElementsByName("City:").value.length >0;
var e=document.getElementsByName("State:").value.lengt h>0;
var f=document.getElementsByName("Comments").value.len gth>0;

if(!a || !b || !c || !d || !e || !f)
{
alert("Please fill in all of the fields and comments");

return false;

}

return true;

}

(Code snippet by submit button)

<form onsubmit="return isEmpty()" action="blah....">

<h2>Please include a short story about your restaurant:</h2
<p class="style1"
<label
<textarea name="Comments" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea
</label
</p
p>&nbsp;</p
p
input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"
onclick-"isEmpty()"/

<input type="submit" />

/form
