javascript function validateForm() does not validate my form in upload.php file.

it seems to be that your form is closed out of scope

Hi Gloria,

I can't be sure how to go about this without the complete Script or how advanced you may be at programming so I will start with something simple. I am no expert let it be said hehe!! Here goes:

I once had trouble with my Forms not validating and it was a simple remedy. In the Form tag at the top make sure you state the Form to be validated by calling it's NAME as follows:

<form name="contactsubmission" action="submaildetails.asp" method="post" onSubmit="return validateForm(contactsubmission)";>

Then use the onClick EventHandler to call the Form that is in focus, i.e. the Form that is being filled in, with the flashing tab - (this would signify focus on this Form).

Sorry if this is to basic etc but this is my first real entry and to be honest in the little experience I have, I have noticed it is always the obvious thing's that we tend to forget or miss out.

Let me know how you get on.

Sorry I meant to show the onClick EventHandler so here it is:

<input class="2" type="submit" value="Submit Enquiry" onClick="return validateForm(form)";>

Good luck!

I cant find validateForm() function anywhere in your page!

a sample for validation

<script language="javascript">
function validateForm(){
 form = document.myForm;
 fname = form.fname.value;
 fadd = form.fadd1.value;
 if(fname.length<5) {
  alert('Fill Name correctly');
  return false;
 }
 if(fadd.length<20) {
  alert('Fill Address correctly');
  return false;
 }
 return true;
}
</script>

<form name="myForm" id="myForm" method="post" action="formaction.php" onsubmit="return validateForm();">
Name: <input type="text" id="fname" name="fname" value="" /> * minimum 5 letters <br/>
Address1: <input type="text" id="fadd1" name="fadd1" value="" /> * minimum 20 letters<br/>
Address2: <input type="text" id="fadd2" name="fadd2" value="" /> * optional<br/>
<input type="Submit" id="sbt" name="sbt" value="Post Form" /><br/>
</form>
Here I have added the validation function to onSubmit EventHandler of form

or you may also attach to onClick EventHandler of submit button as webkungfu told.

cheers
