I created a contact form on my website and marked the name, phone and email address as required fields using a javascript form I found online. It works just fine in Firefox but not in IE and I can’t figure out what I need to change to make it work. Help!! Or if anyone has a better script I am open to changing it. I had to include a recapthca so maybe that’s what is messing things up. It is targeting contactengine.php in the action because I used a separate page for the packaging of the email and the recapthca php.
Here is the java I used..
<script type=”text/javascript” language=”JavaScript”><!–
var FormName = “form”;
var RequiredFields = “Name,Phone,Email”;
function ValidateRequiredFields()
{
var FieldList = RequiredFields.split(“,”)
var BadList = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < FieldList.length; i++) {
var s = eval(‘document.’ + FormName + ‘.’ + FieldList[i] + ‘.value’);
s = StripSpacesFromEnds(s);
if(s.length < 1) { BadList.push(FieldList[i]); }
}
if(BadList.length < 1) { return true; }
var ess = new String();
if(BadList.length > 1) { ess = ‘s’; }
var message = new String(‘nnThe following field’ + ess + ‘ are required:n’);
for(var i = 0; i < BadList.length; i++) { message += ‘n’ + BadList[i]; }
alert(message);
return false;
}
function StripSpacesFromEnds(s)
{
while((s.indexOf(‘ ‘,0) == 0) && (s.length> 1)) {
s = s.substring(1,s.length);
}
while((s.lastIndexOf(‘ ‘) == (s.length – 1)) && (s.length> 1)) {
s = s.substring(0,(s.length – 1));
}
if((s.indexOf(‘ ‘,0) == 0) && (s.length == 1)) { s = ”; }
return s;
}
// –>
</script>
Here is my form..
<form name=form method=”post” action=”contactengine.php” onsubmit=”return ValidateRequiredFields();”>
