Hi all,

this validation script isnt working and I can't troubleshoot. Someone corrected it and posted a working version but I havent been able to figure out what was the problem and what was changed so that sort of leave me nowhere further than before. Can anyone look with a new pair of eyes and tell me what I am missing?

 

Thank you in advance,

J-R

<script type='text/javascript'>

 

function formValidator(){

  // Make quick references to our fields

  document.write("Hello");

  var p1 = document.getElementById('player_1');

 

      document.write(p1.value);

  // Check each input in the order that it appears in the form!

  if(notEmpty(p1, "Please  enter something, anything please!")){

      return true;

  }

 

  return false;

 

}

 

function notEmpty(elem, helperMsg){

  if(elem.value.length == 0){

      alert(helperMsg);

      elem.focus(); // set the focus to this input

      return false;

  }

  return true;

}

 

</script>

 

<?php

/*Form header information */

print <<<htmldebut

<form id="frmchoixronde1" name="frmchoixronde1"  method="POST"

enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" onsubmit='return formValidator()'>

 

<b>type something</b>

htmldebut;

  echo '<html><head><title>Page des poolers</title></head> <body>';

 

 

//If we get here as a result of the submit button having been pushed: We are going to validate the data

if(isset($_POST['submit'])){

      $nbjoueurs = 1;

     

      $error=''; //initialize $error to blank

      for ($i=1; $i <= $nbjoueurs; $i++)

      {

        if(trim($_POST['player_' . $i])=='') {

            $error .="Votre joueur #" . $i . " n'a pas ete choisi!<br />";

        }

      }

//There are no errors we can write to database

      if($error == ''){

        echo 'no errors';

      }else{

 

        echo '<fieldset style="width:450px">';

        echo '<legend>Erreurs</legend>';

        echo $error;

        echo '</fieldset>';

      }

  }

 

?>

 

<?php

 

echo '<br/>';

echo '<fieldset>';

 

echo '<b><label for="player_1" style="width:2em"> 1. </label></b><input name="player_1" id="player_1" type="text" size="30"><br/>';

echo '</fieldset>';

 

  echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Soumettre vos choix">';

 

 

//End of the form

?>

</form>

<br/>

</body></html>

Fixed:


function notEmpty(elem, helperMsg){
   if(elem.value.length === 0){
      alert(helperMsg);
      elem.focus(); // set the focus to this input
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

function formValidator(){
   // Make quick references to our fields
   document.createTextNode("Hello");
   var p1 = document.getElementById('player_1');
   
      document.createTextNode(p1.value);
   // Check each input in the order that it appears in the form!
   if(notEmpty(p1, "Please  enter something, anything please!")){
      return true;
   }
   
   return false;
   
}
