How Do I Validate This 3 Field Form?



Here is my function checkForm.

3 Fields - Name, Message & Email

Name = This should be more than 1 character
Message = This should be more than 1 character
Email = This is booleon set (True or False)

If these 3 Fields meet up to this criteria - I would like it to proceed to the else statement I have below.

I would like a method of validation which is alot more effective than the one used below:


ActionScript Code:
function checkForm() {        var myName = _root.pages_mc.nameField.text;    var myMessage = _root.pages_mc.messageField.text;    var myEmail = _root.pages_mc.emailField.text;        //VALIDATE NAME & MESSAGE FIELD    if (myName == ""){        _root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please fill out your name";        Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.nameField);        } else if (checkEmail(myEmail) == false){        _root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "You have entered an invalid email address";        } else if (myMessage == ""){        _root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please leave a message";        Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.messageField);        } else if (myEmail == ""){        _root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "Please write your email address";        Selection.setFocus(_root.pages_mc.emailField);        } else {            _root.pages_mc.errorField.text = "";            myXML.firstChild.appendChild(myXML.createElement("entry"));            myXML.firstChild.lastChild.attributes.myName = myName;            myXML.firstChild.lastChild.attributes.myEmail = myEmail;            myXML.firstChild.lastChild.appendChild(myXML.createElement("myText"));            myXML.firstChild.lastChild.lastChild.appendChild(myXML.createTextNode(myMessage));            myXML.sendAndLoad("processXML.php", receiverXML);              }}

I've tried it running the function above and it seems to process the else statement when the if statements say otherwise. So a better method would be really helpful.

How To Validate A Form's Text Field
I'm not very good with scripting, and am having a problem with a simple form that has 3 states: the form itself; an "invalid" error frame; and a "thanks" frame for successful submissions.

I need to setup 2 conditions for a field, in which the user types in their name. it's named "lotusnotesID".

if the field has any blank spaces, it should goto the "invalid" frame that displays an error message and asks them to retype their ID. if the field doesn't have any periods between their name (e.g. john.m.smith) they should goto the "invalid" frame and retype their ID.

my actions are set up in a button within the form. it reads as follows:

on (press) {
if (lotusnotesID == "Key.SPACE" ne "." ne "") {
gotoAndStop ("invalid");
} else {
loadVariablesNum ("http://creativeservices.accenture.com/client.stage/sfmoma/cdontsMail.asp", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop ("thanks");
}
}


as far as I can tell, it's setup correctly. the problem is that when I test it, the submit button will take me to the "invalid" frame if the text field contains a space, or is missing a period, or is blank, but once I'm in the "invalid" frame and retype the ID correctly, it won't submit properly and goto the "thanks" frame. also, if I type the name correctly initially, it works fine.

am I using the correct operators? any ideas?

thanks very much,

Validate A Form
Hi,

I have been trying to make a sort of flash mx plugin for my swishmovie. It's a form that have the actions to posts the textboxes to a cgi script. It all works but I keep getting empty forms so I would like to validate some fields: like an e-mail has to have a "@" and a "." in it and another field may not be blank. So far no luck. I did some searching on this board but couldn't understand it at all cause i'm a real newbie.

This is what my submit button does:

on(press)
{

getURL ("http://users.scoutnet.nl/cgi-bin/mail-a-form.cgi", "nullframe", "POST");

GotoAndStop(2);
}

Where frame 2 is a 'thank you' message.

Any helps would be greately appriciated

Thanks!

Validate Form
How do I post a form that has required fields, and lets the use know if they didn't fill them all in, before it submits to an email program?

Validate Form Fields
Folks:

Is there any way for me to validate user input in a form field? Here's the problem in a nutshell.

This is an educational flash movie. I want to verify that the user has entered the correct information in the text box. For example, if I tell them to enter the number 10 in the text box and they enter 11, the feedback will be something like "you entered the wrong number. try again." If they enter the right number they will move on to the next step.

The text field must be validated when the user presses the Enter key.

This solution has to be Flash 4 compatible because there is not Flash 5 plug-in for some UNIX machines (which are part of the target market).

Any help would be great.

Using Button To Validate Form
It's my first time I'm making a form in flash. As to how to validate, I'm not exactly sure. My idea was that when you hit the submit button, it does the validation and if any of the validations fail, it sets a dont-submit flag and displays an error message in the form of a box that pops up. Anyways, it doesn't seem to work: the box isn't poping up or anything else. Any ideas?

I defined error in my form frame actions:
function error(message) {
errorBox._visible = true;
errorBox.message = message;
}

And heres my code for the submit button:
on (release) {
submitGo = true;
// Checks
if (_root.name == "" || _root.name == " ") {
error("Please tell us your name.");
submitGo = false;
}
if (_root.company == "" || _root.company == " ") {
error("Please tell us your company name.");
submitGo = false;
}
if (_root.phone == "" || _root.phone == " ") {
error("Please tell us a phone number where we can contact you.");
submitGo = false;
}
if (_root.email == "" || _root.email == " ") {
error("Please tell us an e-mail address where we can contact you.");
submitGo = false;
}
if (_root.feedback == "" || _root.feedback == " ") {
error("Please give us some feedback.");
submitGo = false;
}
// Sending vars
if (submitGo == true) {
loadVariablesNum ("infoRecieve.asp", 0, "POST");
}
}

Form Validate Problem
Have a simple form in flash with 5 fields, contactname, subject, phone, email, and comments. Would like to do a validate on only two fields. Have this on a submit button that sends it to a php script that sends an email to my address.

on (release) {
if (email eq "") {
_root.response = "Required field incomplete";
}
if (comments eq "") {
_root.response = "Required field incomplete";
} else {
_root.response = "Sending Data...";
loadVariablesNum("email_scrpt/email_scrpt.php", 0, "POST");
}
}

Everything works but only the two fields, email and comments are sent in the email even if I fill in all the fields. Everything worked fine until I did the validation. How do I pass the other variables and only have two checked?

Thanks in advance

function validateMessage () {
var arr = []; // create an empty array
var msg = msg.text; // set var to the current text field

Trying To Pass Text From Form Text Field To A Flash Dynamic Text Field
Hi, I was hoping someone might enlighten me as to how/if I can do this...

Currently I'm using javascript which works fine to pass text from textfield A to textfield B:


Code:
window.onload=function()
{
document.forms.form1.shirtText.value=document.forms.form1.KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38.value
}
Is there a way to pass the textfield A text to a dynamic text input (flash) as I'd like to use the font embedding flash offers. I can make it work when loading a value from a txt file but I'm not sure how to access the value identified above as KitGroupID_16_TextOption_38 and make it appear in a dynamic input box. Eventually I might want to have 3 font choices for the user but I'd like to just see if I can get this working properly first.

Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated,

-Scott

Tab Key To Next Form Field

Form Field
Hi
How do I apply a script like this to a Form text-field?

<input type="text" value="Newsletter" onFocus="clearText(this)">

This javascript is placed in the header of the HTML-file

<script>
function clearText(thefield){
if (thefield.defaultValue==thefield.value)
thefield.value = ""
}
</script>

The script empties the textfield as the user clicks it!
The textfield has the varible letterField applied to it in the Flash-file.

Form Field Value And No Value
How can I do this in flash. You know how in html forms you can do this:


PHP Code:



onblur="this.value='enter email address';" onfocus="this.value='';" 




What I have are some form fields that have some text in it as a defalut value then when the person sets focus in the form field the value disappears. Now if the place a value in the form field then move to the next form field thus losing focus on the first form field. I would like the info they input in there to remain there. But if nothing was placed show the default value. I know how to do it in html but not in flash. Pleez help. Would love to do some flash forms.

Drop-down Form Field In AS3
Hey all,
Is it possible to make a drop-down form field w/in AS3? I don't need to send any data externally or anything -- so I don't need (I assume) any PHP code.
The selected value from the field is simply going to change a variable in the timeline.

Thx

Referencing A Value Within A Form Field
Hey all...

Within my org. we have a set of variables that we can use within our .asp forms that are stored on a DB but can be called within our forms. Basically when a user longs into their machine and opens up one of our html/asp forms their user information Name/department/title/phone/branch address are auto populated within the 'profile' section at the top of the form. Below is an example of the code used:

<td width="450"><input name="UserName" type="text" id="UserName" value="<%=g_emp_fullname%>" size="50" maxlength="100">


Instead of building forms via html/asp I would like to try and build a 'smart' form via flash and pass all of the variables collected to a processessing .asp page that generates the email.

What I can't figure out is how to, within flash, reference the...value="<%=g_emp_fullname%>" , within the Flash form fields so the values come up.

I would like Flash to auto-recognize the values just like my .asp page did.
Any ideas on code referencing within Flash is greatly appreciated as always!!

Form Field Focus?
Hi, I was wondering how to make a form field in flash that has text already in it when the form loads, and when the user clicks the field that text dissapears so they can enter their text.

I've also seen these forms that will put the initial text back if no text is entered and the user clicks a different text field.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Form Field Validation And ASP
Hello

I have a simple Flash contact form with name,email, message, etc fields and would like ASP - not Flash - to validate the fields. So if a site visitor completes the form and presses 'submit' while having omitted the @ sign, for example, from his email address, then ASP would tell Flash to display something like 'Please complete the email address field'.

I have some ASP (VB Script) which does this, but how do I pass it to Flash, and how would I get Flash to display it in a simple dynamic text box next to the form? And what happens if more than one field has been incorrectly completed?

Many thanks for any help.

Code For CC Field In Email Form?
Hello all,

I'm making a simple form that will generate an email in Outlook with the info you filed out.

Here is the code:

email = "";
mailto = "mailto:" add name add "<" add email add ">";
name = "Enter Name";
subject = "Subject of Email";

However, I also want to define who the email will go to in the CC. Anyone know how to do this?

I imagine its pretty simple but i can't get it to work for some reason.

Thanks in advance,
