First off wanted to that all that replied to my previous questions, you were
much help.
Had a couple of general questions.
Why has everyone suggested not using VB Script on the Client Side?
Secondly, I have decided to do my validation on the processing page.
If a field on the form does not meet the validation rules, I am able to
redirect back to the sending page. How do I do this so that the sending
page retains the values that the Client had previously put in so that he
only
needs to correct the fields that are not valid?
Thanks for helping out the nuuubeeeee.....

You should certainly always do the server-side validation, but there is no
compelling reason to require the client-side type.
4 Million forms a day, times two-three trips to the server... :)

I guarantee Amazon does more round trips a day than you do, and I've never
run into client-side validation on their site. Compelling? I think it
stretches the word. Required? Absolutely not.

Where can I find an online PHP form validator script library to use? I
have tried hacking the one here at work for weeks now and it's getting
more and more impossible to customize, especially now with form
elements that turn out to be arrays that have to be compared with one
another!
I have one form element, languages, a checkbox group. Beside each
checkbox is a dropdown, proficiency (which will become proficiency
alongside languages)....

I have a form on a webpage and want to use JavaScript validation for the
form fields.
I have searched the web for form validation scripts and have come up with
scripts that only validate individual fields, such as an "Email Validation
Script" or a "Phone Validation Script".
Is it ok to put all these scripts on page as they are or should they be
joined in some way together to be one script?
I'm a total JavaScript newbie and am completely...

Hello all!
As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven
websites using javascript and vbscript for about 6-7 years now, and I
am *horrible* at form validation.
To be honest I usually hire someone to do it for me, grab predone
scripts and kind of hack out the parts that I need, or just do very
minimal validation (e.g. this is numeric, this is alpha-numeric, etc.)

I'm trying to implement a simple server-side form validation (No
Javascript). If the user submits a form with errors, I want to

correct I need to submit to another page that uses the form data.
I first tried making the form submit action= field point to the same

Hi,
I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql
db. I would like to validate the form. I have tried a couple of Javascript
form validation functions, but it appears that the data goes straight to the
processing page, rather than the javascript seeing if data is missing and
popping up an alert. I thought it may be because much of the form is
populated with data from the db (lists, etc.), but when I leave...

Hello guys,
now that I'm that I'm working on my first major 'open' forms (with

a lot of possibilities to check wether certain fields match certain

(offcourse, this will be checked on posting the data again, but that's
something I've got a lot of experience with).
Now, offcourse it's...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
