pakenney38 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Here's a code snippet from something I am working on.The problem is that my JavaScript function doesn't seem to run at all when the page is pulled up in the browser.[code]echo "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'><html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><head><meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' /><title>Set up email</title><script type='text/javascript'><!--function passcheck(Form1) { if (Form1.Password.value.length < 6) {alert('The password must contain at least 6 characters.'); return false;} else { if (Form1.Password.value.indexOf('XXX') > -1) {alert (\"The password you have entered violates\none or more of the following rules:\n 1.

ted_chou12 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Do you have the if post submit statement? because I cant seem to find it on your script, that might be the cause...Ted Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32083-password-field-checks-dont-run/#findComment-148901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 This is a Javascript question, not a PHP question, so I will move it to the Javascript section.Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32083-password-field-checks-dont-run/#findComment-148903 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pakenney38 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 I will be more than happy to rewrite this code in PHP where it will be twice as difficult to write and then repost it back into a forum that actually gets looked at.

michaellunsford Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 No need to be rude. The PHP portion of the source code is working properly -- so the problem isn't PHP. The javascript part of your source code is not working properly, so you got moved to the javascript forum. The moderator did you a favor by putting your post where it would get the fastest answer.Now, the problem your javascript is having: "unterminated string literal." That means if you put a newline in a javascript string, then the string won't terminate.Your source code has two different types of newlines that are causing this to happen:1. your \n character is being converted to a newline by PHP. To eliminate this, you need to escape your backslash .. like so "\\n". This tells PHP to not convert \n to a newline character, but pass it "as is" to the browser. First problem overcome.2. Your source code also contains newline characters. Look here -- after the \n you are putting a carriage return in the source code to "pretty it up."[quote]{alert (\"The password you have entered violates\none or more of the following rules:\n 1. The password must be 6 or more characters long.\n[/quote]This is causing the other half of your problem. Delete that carriage return and you're back in business.After I fixed or removed the two different types of newline characters, "poof" your code works just fine.
