More than One Form Action

Lamez · October 2, 2007

I was wanting to know how can I make more than one form action?

In my form I need a captcha action, a validate form action(it makes sure the forms are filed in), and a verify password action

Just put all make a function for each seperate action in side an action.html file. One for the verify fields, verify password, and captcha.

Then post the action as action.html.

Alright, but I am not sure on how to mix 2 javascripts and one php script. Can you help me do that?

jbingman · October 2, 2007

Put the javascript in an external .js file for the form validation. Then make an action.php script with the form process. Or you can just put the javascript in the head section of the same file. I personally think its cleaner to use an external. so...

<head>
<script language="javascript">
//your javascript validation code here
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="action.php">
//form inputs here
</form>
</body>

I know, but how do I mix my 2 JavaScripts?

Here My Validation Script (JS)

<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("username")) {
alert("Please fill your username.");
setFocus("username");
return false;
}
if (isEmpty("password")) {
alert("Please fill in your password.");
setFocus("password");
return false;
}
if (!isAnEmailAddress("email")) {
alert("The entered email address is invalid.");
setFocus("email");
return false;
}
return true;

}
</script>

Here is My Password Validation (JS)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Original:  Russ Swift (rswift220@yahoo.com) -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
function validatePwd() {
var invalid = " "; // Invalid character is a space
var minLength = 6; // Minimum length
var pw1 = document.myForm.password.value;
var pw2 = document.myForm.password2.value;
// check for a value in both fields.
if (pw1 == '' || pw2 == '') {
alert('Please enter your password twice.');
return false;
}
// check for minimum length
if (document.myForm.password.value.length < minLength) {
alert('Your password must be at least ' + minLength + ' characters long. Try again.');
return false;
}
// check for spaces
if (document.myForm.password.value.indexOf(invalid) > -1) {
alert("Sorry, spaces are not allowed.");
return false;
}
else {
if (pw1 != pw2) {
alert ("You did not enter the same new password twice. Please re-enter your password.");
return false;
}
else {
alert('Nice job.');
return true;
      }
   }
}
//  End -->
</script>

Here is My Captcha (PHP)

<?php   
if (chk_crypt($_POST['code'])) 
echo "<a><font color='#009700'>Correct</font></a>" ;
else echo "<a><font color='#FF0000'>Incorrect</font></a>" ;
?>

Any Ideas?

try:

<form action="validate.js">
//form input

<?php   
if (chk_crypt($_POST['code'])) 
echo "<a><font color='#009700'>Correct</font></a>" ;
else echo "<a><font color='#FF0000'>Incorrect</font></a>" ;
?>
</form>

Wow never thought to do it that way, but I seriously need help mixing the JavaScript's, and by that I mean take one script and add it to the other one to make it work, but I have no experience with it at all, please help me with this.

here is yoru mixed JS:

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

// THIS IS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SCRIPTS //

function validatePwd() {
var invalid = " "; // Invalid character is a space
var minLength = 6; // Minimum length
var pw1 = document.myForm.password.value;
var pw2 = document.myForm.password2.value;
// check for a value in both fields.
if (pw1 == '' || pw2 == '') {
alert('Please enter your password twice.');
return false;
}
// check for minimum length
if (document.myForm.password.value.length < minLength) {
alert('Your password must be at least ' + minLength + ' characters long. Try again.');
return false;
}
// check for spaces
if (document.myForm.password.value.indexOf(invalid) > -1) {
alert("Sorry, spaces are not allowed.");
return false;
}
else {
if (pw1 != pw2) {
alert ("You did not enter the same new password twice. Please re-enter your password.");
return false;
}
else {
alert('Nice job.');
return true;
      }
   }
