Hi
i need help! I am trying to code a registration page and want all the fields to be completed before moving to the next page.

Here is a snippet of the code! If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!Thanks!

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]
script language="javascript">

function ValidateForm(form)
{
alert("In function")

if(IsEmpty(form1.pass))
{
alert('Please enter a password')
form.pass.focus();
return false;
}

if(IsEmpty(form.logInName))
{
alert('Please enter a password')
form.logInName.focus();
return false;
}

return true;

}

<form name="form1" action="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#</cfoutput>" method="POST" onsubmit="javascript:return ValidateForm(this)">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> Login Name</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="logInName"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Password</td>
<td><input type="password" value="" name="pass"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>[/COLOR]

Try a search engine

Google Search Results for "validate form javascript"

Top link: Site Link
More specifically: Using JavaScript to Validate Form Entries

Good luck

If you've any more problems then post up here!

Is that the actual code?

Two things -
There's no closing </script> tag.
There's no submit button.

Nope but here it is!

What is happening is - it is going into the function but still going to next page and not going into the ifs!
Cheers everyone! This is just so annoying!

here is all the code:

<SCRIPT>
function Validate()
{
alert("in function")

logInName=form1.LogInName.value;
if (LogInName=="")
{
alert('LogInName name is a required field. Please try again.');
event.returnValue=false;
}

}
</SCRIPT>

</head>

<body>

<form name="form1" action="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#</cfoutput>" method="POST" onsubmit="Validate()">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> Login Name</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="logInName"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Password</td>
<td><input type="password" value="" name="pass"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">First Name</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="first"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Last Name</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="second"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> Company</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="company"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Address Line 1 </td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="address1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Address Line 2 </td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="address2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">City</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="city"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Postcode</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="pcode"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> Country</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="country"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Phone number</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="phnum"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Fax</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="faxNo"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Email</td>
<td><input type="text" value="" name="emailad"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" value="Register details" ></td>
<td><input type="reset" value="Reset" ></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

<input type="hidden" name="MM_InsertRecord" value="form1">
</form>

This is the original way I had the code before I looked up search engines (it worked before in another one of my websites

)

<script language = "javascript">

function checkform()
{


logInName = true;

if(document.form1.logInName.value=="")
{ logInName = false;
alert("Please enter a log in name in the field provided fdiona");
document.form1.logInName.focus();
return false;
}

pass = true;

if(document.form1.pass.value=="")
{ pass = false;
alert("Please enter your password in the field provided");
document.form1.pass.focus();
return false;
}

first= true;

if(document.form1.first.value=="")
{ first = false;
alert("Please enter your first name in the field provided");
document.form1.first.focus();
return false;
}

second = true;
if(document.form1.second.value=="")
{ second = false;
alert("Please enter your last name in the field provided");
document.form1.second.focus();
return false;

}

company = true;
if(document.form1.company.value=="")
{ company = false;
alert("Please enter your company name in the field provided");
document.form1.company.focus();
return false;
}

address1 = true;

if(document.form1.address1.value=="")
{ address1 = false;
alert("Please enter your address line 1 in the field provided");
document.form1.address1.focus();
return false;
}

address2 = true;

if(document.form1.address2.value=="")
{address2= false;
alert("Please enter your address line 2 in the field provided");
document.form1.address2.focus();
return false;
}

city = true;

if(document.form1.city.value=="")
{ city = false;
alert("Please enter your city in the field provided");
document.form1.city.focus();
return false;
}

pcode = true;

if(document.form1.pcode.value=="")
{ pcode = false;
alert("Please enter your post code in the field provided");
document.form1.pcode.focus();
return false;
}

country = true;

if(document.form1.country.value=="")
{ country = false;
alert("Please enter your country in the field provided");
document.form1.country.focus();
return false;
}

phnum = true;

if(document.form1.phnum.value=="")
{ phnum = false;
alert("Please enter your phone number in the field provided");
document.form1.phnum.focus();
return false;
}

faxNo = true;

if(document.form1.faxNo.value=="")
{ faxNo = false;

if(document.form1.emailad.value=="")
{ email = false;

if (second == true & first == true & pass == true & logInName == true & company == true & address1 == true & address2 == true & city == true & pcode == true & country == true & phnum == true & faxNo == true & email == true )
return true;
form1.method = "post";
form1.submit();
