[How to get rid of form?]

Done it using this:

<input class="databut" type="button" value="Back" onClick='self.history.back();'>

Thanks

[How to get rid of form?]

Ahh

I have created a back button using

<input class="databut" type="button" value="Back" onClick="document.location='<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>';"/>

This takes me back but the details arent still in the form. How come when the browser button is pressed they are but with this button theyre not?

*edited*

[How to get rid of form?]

By pressing the back button in the browser, this returns the user to the input form with the correct details still entered. Therefore, surely I could just put a back button in my form without the use of a session, what do you think?

Thanks

[How to get rid of form?]

Is it possible to create a button in the error form so that when the user presses this they are returned to the input form with the fields they entered correctly still input??

Or is a session needed?

[How to get rid of form?]

Thanks a lot, great help!

All I need now is a back button to get back to the form  :)

[How to get rid of form?]

Looking at the picture I want the error messages shown without the input form. And then I am planning on creating a button in the error messages box to go back to the input form.

Any ideas how to do this? My code is as follows:

[code]<form name="myform" method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
 
  <div class="home_text">
  <?php
if ($sMode == 'complete')
{
echo '<div class="complete"><div class="formwrapper">Thank You for submitting your details.</div>';

}
else
{
?>

<? if(is_array($aErrors) && count($aErrors) > 0)
{
?>

<ul><div class="formwrapper">
<?
foreach($aErrors as $sError)
{
echo '<li>'.$sError.'<br></li>';

} // end foreach
?><br /></ul><?
} //end if (is_array($aErrors)...
?>

<div class="formwrapper">
  <div class="textlabel">Name*</div><div class="formlabel"> <input name="Name" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Name']))?>" />
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Email*</div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Email" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Email']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Address*</div>
<div class="formlabel">
  <textarea name="Address" rows="2" wrap="virtual" class="dataform"><?=(stripslashes($_POST['Address']))?></textarea>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Business Name*</div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Business_Name" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Business_Name']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Type of Business*</div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Type_of_Business" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Type_of_Business']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Comments</div>
<div class="formlabel">
  <textarea name="Comments" rows="2" wrap="virtual" class="dataform"><?=(stripslashes($_POST['Comments']))?></textarea>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">&nbsp;</div><div class="formlabel">
  <input name="Submit" type="submit" class="databut" value="Submit" />
    <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="apply" />
    <br class="clear"/>
</form>[/code]

This is class with the errors in by the way:

[code]private function ValidateClientData($aPostData)
{
$aErrors = array();

if(!$aPostData['Name'])
{
$aErrors['Name']='Please enter your Name';
}
if(validateemail($aPostData['Email'])===false)
{
$aErrors['Email']='Please enter a valid Email address';}
//if(validateemail(!$aPostData['Email'])===false)
//{
// $aErrors['Email']='Please enter your Email';
//}
if(!$aPostData['Address'])
{
$aErrors['Enquiry']='Please enter your Address';
}
if(!$aPostData['Business_Name'])
{
$aErrors['Business_Name']='Please enter your Business Name';
}
if(!$aPostData['Type_of_Business'])
{
$aErrors['Type_of_Business']='Please enter your Type of Business';
}


if (count($aErrors) > 0) return array(false, $aErrors);

return array(true);
}


}
?>[/code]

[Disabling / input or space bar input]

Ive done the email validation thats in my class.

I just wanted to stop people from just simply pressing the space bar rather than input data

Thanks anyway for your help

[Disabling / input or space bar input]

Hi I have created a form where a user inputs their details.

I want to be able to make the form not accept if someone simply just enters a load of ///// or just presses space bar to fill in the form.

I thought stripslashes would do this but it doesnt. Any ideas?

Here is my form:

[code]
<div class="formwrapper">
  <div class="textlabel">Name</div><div class="formlabel"> <input name="Name" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Name']))?>" />
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Email</div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Email" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Email']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Address</div>
<div class="formlabel">
  <textarea name="Address" rows="2" wrap="virtual" class="dataform"><?=(stripslashes($_POST['Address']))?></textarea>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Business Name </div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Business_Name" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Business_Name']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Type of Business </div>
<div class="formlabel"> <input name="Type_of_Business" type="text" class="dataform" value="<?=(stripslashes($_POST['Type_of_Business']))?>"/>
</div>
<div class="textlabel">Comments</div>
<div class="formlabel">

Is that enough for you? (*Hope this works*)

[Placing error messages in input form after submission]

Well I dont actually have an error. When I say error messages, they are there on purpose because the user has not entered all their details correctly. For example, if they entered nothing it would say:

# Please enter your Name
# Please enter a valid Email address
# Please enter your Address
# Please enter your Business Name
# Please enter your Type of Business

However, this is displayed directly above the input form.

Instead I want it to be displayed INSIDE the form, replacing the Name, Email, Address etc fields and then having a back button which then brings these fields back for the user to input correctly??

Do you understand? Sorry its confusing, but is this possible?

Thanks

[Placing error messages in input form after submission]

Hi

I have an input form which displays errors if one or more fields are not completed. E.g. Please enter name.

However, these appear above the input form which then moves the input form further down the page and out of place. Is there anyway, once the form is submitted, the error messages are shown inside the input form (well inside the outline of it) replacing the input values name, email etc, with a button to go back which then displays the input form with the missing input?

If you understood that, any help would be great thanks
