problem with internet explorer

[janim]

hi guys i really like this forum and a lot of thanks for you all

ok

i have registration page you know name email country ....

but i found in the internet javascript msgs to prompt people who register if there any error like valid email and Full all fields ..

this is the code

<script type="text/javascript">
function setFocus(aField) {
document.forms[0][aField].focus();
}

function isAnEmailAddress(aTextField) {

if (document.forms[0][aTextField].value.length<5) {
return false;
}
else if (document.forms[0][aTextField].value.indexOf("@") < 1) {
return false;
}
else if (document.forms[0][aTextField].value.length -
document.forms[0][aTextField].value.indexOf("@") < 4) {
return false;
}
else { return true; }
}

function isEmpty(aTextField) {
if ((document.forms[0][aTextField].value.length==0) ||
(document.forms[0][aTextField].value==null)) {
return true;
}
else { return false; }
}
function validate() {

if (isEmpty("name")) {
alert("Please fill your name.");
setFocus("name");
return false;
}
if (isEmpty("Country")) {
alert("Please fill your Country.");
setFocus("con");
return false;
}
if (!isAnEmailAddress("email")) {
alert(" The entered email address is invalid.");
setFocus("email");
return false;
}
return true;

}
</script>

where are you guys ????  ??? ???

you should NOT use javascript to validate users inputs - or at least you should not rely on it. However it is nice to have some checks before the data is sent - it will improve the user experience by allowing the user to not have to wait for a whole page request before theya re told they did something wrong.

 

SO make sure you check all this server side too as javascript can be turned off...

 

Anyway to your problem....

 

if (isEmpty("Country")) {

alert("Please fill your Country.");

setFocus("con");

return false;

}

 

 

can you see it yet???? "Country" and "con"???

 

if (isEmpty("con")) {

alert("Please fill your Country.");

setFocus("con");

return false;

}

if (isEmpty("Country")) {

I noticed that your field name above is capitalized  but none of the other field names are capitalized.  Some browsers are finicky about capitalization and id="Country" versus id="country" will not be treated the same.
