form validation driving me bonkers!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 29.2003

Hi!

I’m trying to validate a simple guest book.
It must:

a) produce an alert when the email address is invalid;
b) produce an alert when a catagory of visitor is not selected;
c) produce an alert box informing them of the info that they have put in.

I can only get any 2 of the following working.. never all three!

Any ideas?

the script and html page are attached

Thanks

luds

@NedalsApr 29.2003 — There are a few errors in your javascript. Here is a working version. PLEASE look it over and understand what I did.

function submitIt(feedbackform) {

//if (document.feedbackform.catagory != 0) { ... deleted

//test 1

var catagorytype = "";

for (i = 0; i < document.feedbackform.catagory.length; i++) {

// removed ';' after ..checked);

if (document.feedbackform.catagory[i].checked) { catagorytype = document.feedbackform.catagory[i].value; }

}



if (!catagorytype) {
alert("Please enter a catagory!");
return false
}

//test 2 - removed extra '{ }'

if (re.test(feedbackform.emailaddress.value)) {

alert("Your Name: "+ feedbackform.yourname.value + "nYour email: "+ feedbackform.emailaddress.value + "nYour Catagory: "+ catagorytype + "nYour Comments: "+ feedbackform.comments.value)

return true

} else { // else was missing

alert("Invalid email address")

feedbackform.emailaddress.focus()

feedbackform.emailaddress.select()

return false

}

}

Thank you for your time and patience!
