How to call two javascript methods onSubmit

[jay_bo]

Hi, i'm trying to get two javascripts to run when my form is submitted but i'm having trouble with the function validate...

 

This is my form tag....

<form name="form1" onsubmit="return formValidator() && validate()">

 

And my javascript

 

<script language="javascript">

<!--

function validate(){

var f=document.form1;

if(formValidator()==true){

f.command.value='update';

f.submit();

}

 

function formValidator(){

// Make quick references to our fields

var firstname = document.getElementById('firstname');

var lastname = document.getElementById('lastname');

var email = document.getElementById('email');

var number = document.getElementById('number');

var street = document.getElementById('street');

var postcode = document.getElementById('postcode');

var town = document.getElementById('town');

var county = document.getElementById('county');

var telephone = document.getElementById('telephone');

var other_telephone = document.getElementById('other_telephone');

var username = document.getElementById('username');

var password = document.getElementById('password');

 

 

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

if(isAlphabet(firstname, "Please enter only letters for your First Name")){

  if(isAlphanumeric(lastname, "Numbers and Letters Only for Last Name")){

if(emailValidator(email, "Please enter a valid email address")){

    if(isAlphanumeric(number, "Numbers and Letters Only for the Property Number/Name")){

      if(notEmpty(street, "Please enter only letters for Street")){

if(notEmpty(postcode, "Numbers and Letters Only for Post Code")){

  if(isAlphabet(town, "Please enter only letters for Town")){

  if(isAlphabet(county, "Please enter only letters for County")){

    if(isNumeric(telephone, "Please enter only numbers for telephone")){

  if(isNumeric(other_telephone, "Please enter only numbers for Alternative Telephone")){

if(lengthRestriction(username, 6)){

  if(lengthRestriction(password, 6)){

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;

}

 

function isNumeric(elem, helperMsg){

var numericExpression = /^[0-9]+$/;

if(elem.value.match(numericExpression)){

return true;

}else{

alert(helperMsg);

elem.focus();

return false;

}

}

 

function isAlphabet(elem, helperMsg){

var alphaExp = /^[a-zA-Z]+$/;

if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){

return true;

}else{

alert(helperMsg);

elem.focus();

return false;

}

}

 

function isAlphanumeric(elem, helperMsg){

var alphaExp = /^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$/;

if(elem.value.match(alphaExp)){

return true;

}else{

alert(helperMsg);

elem.focus();

return false;

}

}

 

function lengthRestriction(elem, min, max){

var uInput = elem.value;

if(uInput.length >= min){

return true;

}else{

alert("Please enter " +min+ " or more Characters");

elem.focus();

return false;

}

}

 

function emailValidator(elem, helperMsg){

var emailExp = /^[\w\-\.\+]+\@[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+\.[a-zA-z0-9]{2,4}$/;

if(elem.value.match(emailExp)){

return true;

}else{

alert(helperMsg);

elem.focus();

return false;

}

}

//-->

</script>

validate() doesn't return anything which is requested in the onSubmit event.

Either return something in that function as well or create a wrapper function that checks for both of those 2 functions.

 

function submit_handler() {
  if (formValidator() && validate()) {
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

 

But then again validate() needs to return something.
