[soheir]

am doing my first project so plz help
i've created a submit button
[HTML]<input type="submit" onclick="valid()">[/HTML]
my function valid checks if the fields are not empty if empty a window prmpt appears then when i press ok i move to the next page
for example
[HTML]<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function valid()
{
var n=document.form.fname.value.length;
if(n==0){
window.alert("enter ur first name");
return false;
} }
//--></script>
[/HTML]then the php code
[HTML] <input type="submit" name="sub" value="Submit Your Entries" onclick="valid()" />
[/HTML]i wrote instead of type="submit" =>type="button" it works but when i fill all the fields am not moving to next page

what if you added this to your function:

else
{
location.href="URL goes here";
}

that way if the field is not blank, it will take you to the page specified.

<input type="submit" onclick="valid()">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function valid()
{
var n=document.form.fname.value.length;
if(n==0){
window.alert("enter ur first name");
return false;
} }
//--></script>

Use code Tags buddy :-)
Please read the posting guidelines before you post.

Have a look at this ....

<form onsubmit = "return valid();">
.
.
</form>
 

function valid()
{
 return (condition_satisfies);
}

Heya, ajos.

why are you using <!-- --> ? you are commenting the function that needs to be called...plz remove the comments...

The code is not actually commented. It's an old trick to prevent *really* older browsers (does anyone use a browser that doesn't know what JavaScript is anymore?) from displaying JavaScript code on the web page. But all modern browsers know that the code isn't *really* commented.

Nowadays, the bigger concern is XML compatibility. That's why you often see:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
// ]]>
</script>
