Hi. I'm doing a form at my website, and I found this document which is very interesting: Javascript form validation - doing it right .
I have a little question though. All the documents within my page has the *.php extention since I'm using PHP the most. I'm also using gettext to translate strings to other languages. If I want to translate the string "hello", I would write it like this in my *.php document:
In my navigation bar, I have links to different languages. Pressing one of these links sets a global variable that gettext uses to identify what language that's active and then translates all the strings which are marked in same way as the code above..
I encounter a problem when mixing this JavaScript code with my PHP code. Because I want the output messages from the validation to be translated as well. For instance if a field is left blank the JavaScript outputs the message: "Required field cannot be left blank". I want this message to be translated as well.
So what is the best strategy here? Should I do it all in PHP? Does anyone have experience with this kind of setup? Thanks in advance.
Regards

I wanted to ask a question, therefore I started this thread. What seems to be the problem?

You didn't 'start this thread', you hi-jacked someone else's thread. That is the problem.

Ah, Sorry about that :S I didn't realise I posted inside another thread :S
Hmm...
Can you please delete this thread? It looks silly now with this discussion.

Negative. Then you might not receive an answer. I'll have a look at your question now.

I can't, at the moment, think of an efficient way to do this. I could only suggest you make an ajax call to a page with the error that your javascript validation threw and the language you want it changing to. Then have the php page return the errors counterpart in whatever language you specify.
Quite an ugly way of doing it.. but, hey.

Could you not simply set the message your JavaScript is supposed to use via PHP when the page is loaded?
Something like: -
<html>
-
<head>
-
<title><?php echo _("Page title"); ?></title>
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
var fieldRequiredMsg = '<?php echo _("Fill out the fields! NOW!"); ?>';
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<button onclick="alert(fieldRequiredMsg);">Click me</button>
-
</body>
-
</html>
-

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

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?

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 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.
