for the score (textbox) and remark (textarea) also same like rating...array. ..any ideas???

Recognized Expert Moderator Expert - document.surveyForm.rating[1].checked
this is most probably the problem, since you don’t have a form control named "rating" (but "rating[1]"). you would have to use the getElementsByNa me() method. further, there is no single "rating[1]" form control, but 5 of it, so whose .checked property do you test?
untested - function groupIsChecked(l)
-
{
-
for (var i = l.length; i--;) {
-
if (true == l[i].checked) {
-
return true;
-
}
-
}
-
return false;
-
}
-
var list = document.getElementsByName("rating[1]");
-
if (!groupIsChecked(list)) {
-
alert('Please choose the rating!');
-
return false;
-
}
you could also set a default checked radio. once a group of radios is checked, there is no way without JavaScript to uncheck all of them.
Thanks a lot...I change a bit with the code and it really work...I do the same to validate the textbox but it didn't work and it keep display the alert message only... -
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
-
function rdButton()
-
{
-
var rdButtonSelected = false;
-
var selectedrdButton = document.getElementsByName("rating[1]"&&"rating[2]"&&"rating[3]"&&"rating[4]"&&"rating[5]"&&"rating[6]"&&"rating[7]");
-
-
for(var i=0; i<selectedrdButton.length; i++)
-
{
-
if(selectedrdButton[i].checked == true)
-
{
-
rdButtonSelected = true;
-
break;
-
}
-
}
-
-
if(rdButtonSelected == false)
-
{
-
window.alert("Please select the rating.");
-
return rdButtonSelected;
-
}
-
-
else
-
return rdButtonSelected;
-
}
-
-
function txtBox()
-
{
-
var txtBoxSelected = false;
-
var selectedtxtBox = document.getElementsByName("score[1]"&&"score[2]"&&"score[3]"&&"score[4]"&&"score[5]"&&"score[6]"&&"score[7]");
-
-
for(var i=0; i<selectedtxtBox.length; i++)
-
{
-
if(selectedtxtBox[i].checked == true)
-
{
-
txtBoxSelected = true;
-
break;
-
}
-
}
-
-
if(txtBoxSelected == false)
-
{
-
window.alert("Please insert the marks.");
-
return txtBoxSelected;
-
}
-
-
else
-
return txtBoxSelected;
-
}
-
</SCRIPT>
-
moreover, I try to do the validation for both of the function at the same time..but once the validation for radio button was completed, the function for validate the textbox didn't run...anyone got ideas on this??thanks in advance...
the code I write to run both of the functions... -
<form name="survey" id="survey" method="post" action="survey_code.php" onSubmit="return rdButton();txtBox();">

Recognized Expert Moderator Expert - document.getElementsByName("rating[1]"&&"rating[2]"&&"rating[3]"&&"rating[4]"&&"rating[5]"&&"rating[6]"&&"rating[7]");
that doesn’t work. getElementsByNa me() expects exactly on parameter and that is the string of the name (not a boolean).
you would have to loop over all names explicitly (although you can package it in a loop)
and text boxes don’t have a .checked property (That’s only for radios and checkboxes). you would have to test for the length (or validaty) of the .value property.
@Dormilich
thanks...ya, I know the textbox need to validate by . value property but it does not work...why??is it because they are in array and looping, so they can't be validate as usual...then how??
Dormilich 8,658
Recognized Expert Moderator Expert
is it because they are in array and looping,
you're not even getting there. you pass getElementsByNa me() a boolean ("rating[1]"&&"rating[2]" => true) which results in an empty NodeList.
you would have to loop over every rating separately. - var allRatings = ["rating[1]", "rating[2]", "rating[3]"];
-
for (var i = allRatings.length; i--;) {
-
var rating = document.getElementsByName(allRatings[i]);
-
// validation comes here
-
}
@Dormilich
Thanks for the reply.
Now, I used the code below to do the validation for textbox. -
function txtBox()
-
{
-
var chks = document.getElementsByName("score[1]");
-
-
for (var i = 0; i < chks.length; i++)
-
{
-
if (chks[i].value=="")
-
{
-
alert("Please insert the score");
-
chks[i].focus();
-
return false;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
Then I repeat as much as the textbox that I have with different score[] value for getElementsByNa me and it work for me. But now, how am I going to validate the numeric field validation for the same texbox?I try to do it in different function, but the three functions did not work together. But when I just try two functions, the validation for radio button and textbox, they can work. May I know why they become like this and how to solve?Thanks in advance.

I try to do it in different function, but the three functions did not work together.
something like - str = input.value;
-
if (check1(str) && check2(str) && check3(str)) {
-
// do something if all true
-
}
-
// resp.
-
if (!check1(str) && !check2(str) && !check3(str)) {
-
// do something if all false
-
}
?
@Dormilich
Thanks for the reply. May I know that it is used for validation of empty textbox, right?or it can be used for both validation of check empty textbox and check the data must be numeric?
Dormilich 8,658
Recognized Expert Moderator Expert
that depends on what you put in the check functions. what the functions check for solely depends on your skill, programming validation code. you could even use one big function to check for check box, text box filled with correct data, etc.

Hello all!
As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven

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.)
