Form Validation


cultivate

Recommended Posts

Hi I'm trying to create a simple registration form with ajax validation. I've got the form working almost how I'd like... a message appears on the page with the errors for each field entered incorrectly.

 

The problem is all the error messages appear in one div together and I would like to have each field have its own div containing only its own error.

 

I think I need to wrap my error messages in xml and use something like this -

 document.getElementById("feedback1").innerHTML= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("lname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

- but I can't seem to get it working

 

Does anyone know how I should modify my code to do this?

 

Attached are the 3 files I'm currently working with

 

And Here is my code for my ajax page only.

 

var xmlHttp;

function regForm(thisform) {
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject();
if (xmlHttp==null) {
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request");
return;
}
var formdata = "";
formdata = "lname=" + thisform.elements['lname'].value + "&fname=" + thisform.elements['fname'].value + "&email=" + thisform.elements['email'].value + "&username=" + thisform.elements['username'].value + "&pass=" + thisform.elements['pass'].value + "&pass2=" + thisform.elements['pass2'].value;
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=formSubmitted;
xmlHttp.open("POST", "adduser.php",true);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", formdata.length);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xmlHttp.send(formdata);
return false;
}

function formSubmitted() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete") { 
xmlDoc=xmlHttp.responseXML;
document.getElementById("feedback").innerHTML = xmlHttp.responseText;
//document.getElementById("feedback1").innerHTML= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("lname")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
}

function GetXmlHttpObject() {
xmlHttp=null;
try
{
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e)
{
try
  {
  xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
  }
catch (e)
  {
  xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
}
return xmlHttp;
}
