Form Validation

The script I have written below works perfect to make sure that each
text field in a form is not left with the default value of "0". The
problem is that I need it to only produce the alert if all fields are
left with the value or "0". In other words if one of the fields has
been changed to a "1" but the other are still all "0" then it should
not produce an alert. I am new at javascript and it took me over an 1
1/2 to get this far and I am stuck. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javas cript">
function checkForm(form) {
for (var i = 0; 1 < form.elements.l ength; i++) {
if (form.elements[i].value == 0) {
alert("Fill out All fields.")
return false
}
}
return true
}
</script>

<form method="post" action="http://www.balls.com" onSubmit='retur n
checkForm(this) ;'>
Item 1 : <input type="text" name="quantity1 " value="0"><br>
Item 2 : <input type="text" name="quantity2 " value="0"><br>
Item 3 : <input type="text" name="quantity3 " value="0"><br>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

var OK = false;
for (var i = 0; 1 < form.elements.l ength; i++) {
if (form.elements[i].value) {
OK = true; break; // at least one field is not equal 0 - break the loop
}
}
if (OK) {...}
else {alert(...)}

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 validation form that must behave differently based on the results of a PHP validation check. I have a post command at the top of my form that calls itself.

If any of the values that have been entered into the form are incorrect, I display a warning message on the screen...

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.)

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 uncontrolled users I mean, not a secure backend-interface), I'd like to add a lot of possibilities to check wether certain fields match certain criteria, and inform the user in different ways when the data is wrong (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...

What is the best way to apply a Validation Rule - or rather, where is the best place to put it? Is there an advantage to putting it on the field in the table vs setting the validation rule on the form the control is on? Basically I have a number of controls in a form that are required, and to check it I am setting the Validation Rule to "<>"IsNull" so that when the user tries to tab through/click out of a required area without entering...

Hi, I am trying to use XMLHttpRequest to do server side validation. I have several fields on a form and a submit button. The submit button has an event assocated with it when clicked. The javascript method will do the form validation for each field one by one. For each field, an XMLHttpRequst will be made to a PHP file and get the return, either set an error field (<span>'s innerHTML) or leave it empty. Then I'll check the error field...

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
