Need help with email validation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 23.2007

Hi guys,

I am trying to make a form where you need JavaScript to check that you have entered a first name, and also check that a correct email address has been entered, but these 2 functions require different code. One requires onsubmit=”return validate(this) while the other requires onsubmit=”return validate_form(this) – and I am really confused as to how you can use both functions on the same form when they need 2 different onsubmits values?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Josh

@CrazyMerlinFeb 23.2007 — you have a submit button.

attach to that an onclick event. And be sure to set a return value so it knows whether to continue processing the form.

then attach your other validation to the forms onSubmit like you are doing now.

Alternatively you can run one function on the forms submit, and if it is fine, return the other function.

That will cause the other function to run and pass back to the form it's return value.

If you need the form reference in both functions, simply pass it from one to another.

example:
<i>
</i>function doThis(form)
{
//do something
if(ok)
{
return doSomethingElse(form);
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

Success!
