Hi list. I have another problem. I have written a JavaScript validator, but
I can't seem to get it to work. I'm pretty sure it is just something
simple, so if somebody could look it over and tell me if they see anything
I would really appreciate it!! Here is the code:
-----------------
<.HTML><.HEAD>
<.script language="javascript">
<!--
function validate()
{
var errmessage = "Please fill in the following fields:";
if(document.contact.yourname.value=="")
{
errmessage = errmessage + "- Your Name";
}
if (document.contact.EmailAddress.value=="")
{
errmessage = errmessage + "- Email Address";
}
if(document.conatct.question.value=="")
{
errmessage = errmessage + "- Your Questoion";
}
if (errmessage == "Please fill in the following fields:")
{
document.form.submit();
}
else {
alert(errmessage);
return false;
}
}
// -->
<./SCRIPT>
<./HEAD>
<.BODY><.FORM name="contact" METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="TEXT/PLAIN">
<.input type="text" name="YourName" size="20"><.br>
Your email address:* (so we can get back to you)
<.input type="text" name="EmailAddress"size="20"><.br>
Your company's name:
<.input type="text" name="comapny" size="20"><.br>
Type your question here:*
<.textarea name="question" rows="3" cols="25"><./textarea><.br><.br>
<.input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onClick="validate">
<.input type="reset" name="reset">
<./form><./body><./html>
-------------
I have also tried changing where I call the function (validate), from the
submit button, to the form (using OnSubmit). Thanks again.
Matthew
