Hi,
I created a form with javascript validation. It works fine in Internet Explorer, but the validation doesn’t work at all in Netscape or Safari. Help!
Here is the java script::
<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
function checkForm(){
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterFirstName.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your first name. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterFirstName.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterLastName.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your last name. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterLastName.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.TitlePresentation.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter the title of your presentation. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.TitlePresentation.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PresentationType[0].checked==false && document.abstract.PresentationType[1].checked==false && document.abstract.PresentationType[2].checked==false){
alert(“Please choose the type of presentation you will be presenting. Thank you.”)
document.abstract.PresentationType[0].focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterOrganization.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your organization. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterOrganization.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterAddress.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your address. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterAddress.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterCity.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your city. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterCity.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterCountry.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your country. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterCountry.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterTelephone.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter phone number. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterTelephone.focus();
return false
}
var k=””; var fieldName=””;
var checkStr = “”;
for(k=0;k<4;k++)
{
if (k==0)
{
checkStr = abstract.PrimaryPresenterTelephone.value;
fieldName=”Phone number”;
}
if (k==1) {
checkStr = abstract.PrimaryPresenterFax.value;
fieldName=”Fax Number”;
}
//alert(“fieldName”+fieldName+”—“+k);
var checkOK = “0123456789 -“;
var allValid = true;
var allNum = “”;
var i=””;
for (i = 0; i < checkStr.length; i++)
{
ch = checkStr.charAt(i);
for (j = 0; j < checkOK.length; j++)
if (ch == checkOK.charAt(j))
break;
if (j == checkOK.length)
{
allValid = false;
break;
}
if (ch != “,”)
allNum += ch;
}
if (!allValid)
{
alert(“Please enter only numerals, hyphens or blank spaces in the “+ fieldName +” field.”);
abstract.PrimaryPresenterTelephone.focus();
return (false);
}
}//for
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter your Email address. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.focus();
return false
}
elemail=document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.value;
var elemail3=elemail.indexOf(“@”);
var elemail4=elemail.indexOf(“.”);
if(elemail3==-1 || elemail4==-1)
{
alert(“Please enter a valid E-mail address. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.focus();
return false
}
var elemail1=elemail.split(“@”);
var elemail2=elemail1[1].split(“.”);
if(elemail1[0]==””||elemail1[1]==””||elemail2[0]==””||elemail2[1]==””){
alert(“Please enter a valid E-mail address. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.focus();
return false
}
if(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmailConfirm.value==””)
{
alert(“Please confirm your Email address. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmailConfirm.focus();
return false
}
if((document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.value)!=(document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmailConfirm.value))
{
alert(“Your email fields don’t match. Please check them. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.PrimaryPresenterEmail.focus();
return false;
}
if(document.abstract.AbstractSummary.value==””)
{
alert(“Please enter a summary of your abstract. Thank you!”)
document.abstract.AbstractSummary.focus();
return false
}
var maxlength=550
if (document.abstract.AbstractSummary.value.length>maxlength){
alert(“Abstract Summary cannot exceed 550 characters, including spaces. Please shorten. Thank you!”)
return false
}
return true;
}
