First, I’m a total newbie at JS. I’m using this pratically self-made script to check if email and display name exist on database, using AJAX and jQuery. Each of the text inputs have a button to manually check, else it checks onBlur with the accordingly function.
The username one works fine but the email only works if I manually click to check. I’ve been trying to fix it but no luck at all.
[CODE]<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function() {
//the min chars for username
var display_min_chars = 3;
var display_max_chars = 20;
var email_min_chars = 5;
var email_max_chars = 120;
//result texts
var characters_display_error = ‘Length of display name: 3-20 chars.’;
var checking_display_html = ‘Checking…’;
var characters_email_error = ‘Length of email: 5-120 chars.’;
var checking_email_html = ‘Checking…’;
$(‘#check_email_availability’).click(function(){
if($(‘#email’).val().length < email_min_chars || $(‘#email’).val().length > email_max_chars){
$(‘#email_availability_result’).html(characters_email_error);
document.registerForm.submit_reg.disabled = true;
}else{
$(‘#email_availability_result’).html(checking_email_html);
check_email_availability();
}
});
$(‘#check_username_availability’).click(function(){
if($(‘#username’).val().length < display_min_chars || $(‘#username’).val().length > display_max_chars){
$(‘#username_availability_result’).html(characters_display_error);
document.registerForm.submit_reg.disabled = true;
}else{
$(‘#username_availability_result’).html(checking_display_html);
check_display_availability();
}
});
});
