Javascript validation issues

Recommended Posts

I'm making a javascript script to check that the user has filled in the form correctly. Two problems:

 

1. Email isn't validating properly.

2. I can't seem to get anything except name and email to validate - the other bits just dont do anything.

 

You can see it in action (or not) here: http://names-not-numbers.co.uk/sponsor/

 

Here is my form

<form name="form" id="form" class="form" action="payment.php" onsubmit="return validate(this)" method="post">
<table width="485"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
   <td width="216" align="right"><label for="name">Full Name:</label></td>
    <td width="269"><input type="text" name="name" id="name" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="216" align="right"><label for="email">Email Address:</label></td>
    <td width="269"><input type="text" name="email" id="email" /></td>
  </tr>  
  <tr>
    <td width="216" align="right"><label for="address">First line of address:</label></td>
    <td width="269"><input type="text" name="address" id="address" /></tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label for="address2">Second line of address:</label></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="address2" id="address2" />  
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label for="city">City:</label></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="city" id="city" />  
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label for="county">County:</label></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="county" id="county" />  
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label for="postcode">Postcode:</label></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="postcode" id="postcode" />  
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label>Are you eligible to pay gift aid?</label></td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="giftaid" value=1> Yes
    <input type="radio" name="giftaid" value=0> No
    <br>  
  </tr>  
  <tr>
    <td align="right"><label>Payment method</label></td>
    <td><input type="radio" name="payment" value="online">Online Payment 
    <input type="radio" name="payment" value="cheque"> Cheque 
    <input type="radio" name="payment" value="cash">Cash 
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" align="center"><INPUT name="send_form" type="submit" value="Submit"> </td>
  </tr>
</table> 

 

 

An here's my script

function validate(form) {
  var name = form.name.value;
  var email = form.email.value;
  var address = form.address.value;  
  var address2 = form.address2.value;
  var city = form.city.value;
  var county = form.county.value;
  var payment = form.payment.value;	
  var giftaid = form.giftaid.value;
  var nameRegex = /^[a-zA-Z]+(([\'\,\.\- ][a-zA-Z ])?[a-zA-Z]*)*$/;
  var emailRegex = /^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/;
  var messageRegex = new RegExp(/<\/?\w+((\s+\w+(\s*=\s*(?:".*?"|'.*?'|[^'">\s]+))?)+\s*|\s*)\/?>/gim);
  if(name == "") {
    inlineMsg('name','You must enter your name.',2);
    return false;
  }
  if(!name.match(nameRegex)) {
    inlineMsg('name','You have entered an invalid name.',2);
    return false;
  }
  if(email == "") {
    inlineMsg('email','<strong>Error</strong><br />You must enter your email.',2);
    return false;
  }
  if(!email.match(emailRegex)) {
    inlineMsg('email','<strong>Error</strong><br />You have entered an invalid email.',2);
return false;
  }
   if(address == "") {
alert("I am here");
    inlineMsg('address','Please enter your address.',2);
    return false;
  }
   if(city == "") {
    inlineMsg('city','Please enter a city.',2);
    return false;
  }
   if(county == "") {
    inlineMsg('county','You must enter a county.',2);
    return false;
  }
   if(payment == "") {
    inlineMsg('payment','You must select a payment method.',2);
    return false;
  }
   if(giftaid == "") {
    inlineMsg('giftaid','Please select one option.',2);
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}
