Validation help - Javascript

22 New Member

Hi,

I have a form that utilizes validation as most do via javascript. This form worked totaly fine until I needed to add a dynamic div now the validation doesn't work. It does work for the first dropdown but nothing there after. I always get the error saying [form object] is null or not an object. I need help trying to figure out how to access the ojects in this form.

Now in my body I have a <form> and it's name is form1 and I also have another <form> around a drop down and it's name is change and it closes right after the drop down. I don't want to put all of the code here because it's lengthy but I'll put some of it here so that someone can help me figure out what's going on.

<script>

<!--

function validate()

{
 
//check to see if the drop down was selected.
 
len = document.form1.program.length;

//alert(document.graderrors.school.length);

i = 0;

chosen = "none";
 
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) 

{

    if (document.form1.program[i].selected)

    {
 
        chosen = document.form1.program[i].value

        //alert(document.graderrors.school[i].value);

    } 

}

    if (chosen == "" || chosen==0 || chosen=="none") 

    {

        alert('Please select your program of study');

        return false;

    }
 
//Check for errors

if(window.document.form1.firstname.value=='')

{

        alert('Please fill out the First Name field');

        window.document.form1.firstname.focus();

        return false;

} 

else if(window.document.form1.lastname.value=='')

{

    alert('Please fill out the Last Name field.');

    window.document.form1.lastname.focus();

    return false;

}

....on and on with validation now on to some of the body

Don't nest form tags. You don't need the second form (change) if you're going to access 'program' using 'form1'.

Automated Form Validation?

by: Stefan Richter | last post by:

Hi, after coding for days on stupid form validations - Like: strings (min / max length), numbers(min / max value), money(min / max value), postcodes(min / max value), telefon numbers, email adresses and so on. I thought it might be a better way to programm an automated, dynamic form validation that works for all kinds of fields, shows the necessary error messages and highlights the coresponding form fields.

Client validation not working with XML data islands in tables
