The following code asks the user to sumbit a name, email address, and some
text for a quotation via a FORM. I have written a javascript function to
evaluate the fields in the form and pop-up a message to tell the user if all
the fields have been fill-out. If the user has missed some information the
form re-displays with red "alerts" indicating where the user have missed the
information while re-populating the information the user has submitted.
May question is, after the user has successfully filled out the form, how
can the submit request be forwarded to another jsp so the information can be
emailed to me. I have written a jsp to accept the request and email it. This
works if I remove the validation code. I am not familiar enough with
javascript to be able to figure this one out. I may be on the wrong track.
Please help...
Here is my code .... (file is called QuoteReq2.jsp)
<%@ page contentType="te xt/html" %>

<HTML>
<script>
function validateform(fo rm)

if ((questions['toname'].value=="")||
(questions['emailto'].value=="")||
(questions['quote'].value==""))
{ alert("Some information is missing from your request.")

Inside the if that stops navigation, return false. Otherwise, return true.

Question: why aren't you doing the entire validation - field checks,
prompting (including those 'red alerts') - and rejecting submission -
at the client? Typically a validator is written to trap as many errors
as possible: JavaScript isn't jsp, but it isn't a toy language either.
Once submission is permitted, always do bullet-proof validation at the
server, naturally.
If you're round-tripping anyway (with errors) there's not much point in
using browser validation...

Hi,
I am implemeting a form in asp.net.
The form is quite large and the validation is reasonably complex, so I have
decieded to implement my own validation rather than use any custon
validators,
so I have a button on the form and the "causes validation" property is set
to true.
I have overridden the "Validate()" like so
