I've a issue with Basic Form Validation.
In Dreamwaver It says, There is a Syntax Error on 26th Line. How am I supposed to fix it. My Validation is not working at all.
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value==null||value=="")
{
alert(alerttxt);return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
}
function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false)
{email.focus();return false;}
}
else if (validate_required(name,"Name required")==false){
name.focus(); return false;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="submit.htm" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)" method="post">
Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30"><br />
Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Does this help you see the problem?
Code: Select all
function validate_form (thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(email, "Email must be filled out!") == false)
{
email.focus();
return false;
}
}
else if (validate_required(name, "Name required") == false)
{
name.focus();
return false;
}
}

I didn't give you a solution. I reformatted your code so you can see that the else is at the same nesting level as the with instead of the if.
