I have an external js file to validate a form and it works in IE and
Opera, but not Mozilla Firefox.
In Mozilla Firefox, the javascript console sasys "SearchForm " is not
defined in the second line
function Valid() {
if ((SearchForm.Fi rstName.value == "") && (SearchForm.Las tName.value
== "") && (SearchForm.Pho ne.value == "") && (SearchForm.Dep t.value ==
"%")) {
alert("Please enter criteria before submitting.");
SearchForm.Firs tName.focus();
return false;
}
else if (SearchForm.Com pany.value == "") {
alert("Please select a company to search by.");
SearchForm.Comp any.focus();
return false;
}
else
SearchForm.subm it();
}
Any ideas?

Try using the following syntax instead, replace where necessary:
document.forms["SearchForm "].elements["FirstName"].value
document.forms["SearchForm "].elements["LastName"].value
document.forms["SearchForm "].elements["Phone"].value
etc. etc.

Are you declaring it; for example:
var SearchForm = document.forms[0];
Or is it the name of the form; as in:
<form name="SearchFor m" ...>
Also, how are you calling your "Valid()" function?
I'm not declaring as it is the name of the form <form name="SearchFor m"
id="SearchForm" ..
I'm calling the Valid function like this:
<a href="#" onClick="Valid( )"><img src="/images/go.gif" alt="Submit"
width="34" height="19"/></a>

Changing the syntax fixed it along with changing the call to
Valid(document. Searchform) instead of just Valid()
Thanks for your help guys!

AFAIK, the proper way to reference it is by
"document.Searc hForm" not simply "SearchForm ".

Did you also change the above to the following?

should be both faster and smaller.

Hi all;
I code Perl for CGI, I using regular expression to check the validation
of user input, because the form is small and it run only from my own
computer, anyways if many people using my form, do you think it will be
slow due to Perl is run under server. How about using JavaSCript to
check validation for user input? Do you think it a bit faster?

Form validation using JavaScript has never been as easy and simple! We
have developed a free generic form validation script that can validate
any form with very little JavaScript required in form!
For example:
A normal HTML form with out validation:

<div>Name: <input type="text" name="customerName" value=""></div>

Hi,
I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql

form validation functions, but it appears that the data goes straight to the

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...

Hi,
I am working with a page that has both cfform elements and 'plain

I have been using a great javascript validation script; however, I am

javascript I'd been using before.

I am creating the perl script using html form(with embedded javascript inside).
When using this html form with javascript alone, it works where the form validation will pop up javascript windows to say the field is not keyed into properly. However, when i convert this html(with javascript inside) into perl script, the perl script did not validate when i keyed incorrect data in the form and it straight away executed perl script...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
