Hi Group,
I have a registration.html.erb page with the following JavaScript at
the top which I use to validate form fields:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(){
if ((document.myForm.email_projectname.value=="")||
(document.myForm.email_projecttype_id.selectedIndex<1)||
(document.myForm.email_region_id.selectedIndex<1))
{
alert ("You must fill in all of the required fields!")
return false
}
else
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
further down the page I have the form:
<% form_tag({:action => ''sendregistration''}, {:name
=>
"myForm", :onSubmit => "return validate()"}) do -%>
<tr><td style="width:50%;">Project
Name:<strong> *</strong></
td><td><%= text_field ''email'',
''projectname'', :size => 30 %></td></tr>
<tr><td style="width:50%;">Project
Type:<strong> *</strong></
td><td><%= collection_select ''email'',
''projecttype_id'',
@projecttypes, :id, :name, { :include_blank => true }
%></td></tr>
<tr><td
style="width:50%;">Region:<strong> *</strong></td><td><%collection_select
''email'', ''region_id'', @regions, :id, :name,
{ :include_blank => true } %></td></tr>
etc.
<%= submit_tag "Send", :class => "submit", :id =>
"mysubmit", :disable_with => "Please wait..." %>
<% end -%>
When I click ''Send'' without the required fields the
''Send'' button is
disabled and the text is replaced with ''Please wait...'' which
is as I
expected. It also performs the ''validate'' JavaScript function
and
discovers that the required fields are not provided and displays a
popup window with the text ''You must fill in all of the required
fields!''
When I click ''Send'' with the required fields the
''Send'' button is
disabled and the text is replaced with ''Please wait...'' which
again is
as I expected. However, the form does not Submit / Post, it just
hangs.
What am I doing wrong? Would someone please help.
Thanks.
Regards
Walter

You can always return false and inside the else block, add this javascript that will submit the form: document.forms["myForm"].submit(); On Jan 8, 3:19 pm, Walter Lockhart <walterlockh...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi Group, > > I have a registration.html.erb page with the following JavaScript at > the top which I use to validate form fields: > > <script type="text/javascript"> > <!-- > function validate(){ > if ((document.myForm.email_projectname.value=="")|| > (document.myForm.email_projecttype_id.selectedIndex<1)|| > (document.myForm.email_region_id.selectedIndex<1)) > { > alert ("You must fill in all of the required fields!") > return false > } > else > return true;} > > //--> > </script> > > further down the page I have the form: > > <% form_tag({:action => ''sendregistration''}, {:name => > "myForm", :onSubmit => "return validate()"}) do -%> > > <tr><td style="width:50%;">Project Name:<strong> *</strong></ > td><td><%= text_field ''email'', ''projectname'', :size => 30 %></td></tr> > <tr><td style="width:50%;">Project Type:<strong> *</strong></ > td><td><%= collection_select ''email'', ''projecttype_id'', > @projecttypes, :id, :name, { :include_blank => true } %></td></tr> > <tr><td style="width:50%;">Region:<strong> *</strong></td><td><%> collection_select ''email'', ''region_id'', @regions, :id, :name, > { :include_blank => true } %></td></tr> > > etc. > > <%= submit_tag "Send", :class => "submit", :id => > "mysubmit", :disable_with => "Please wait..." %> > > <% end -%> > > When I click ''Send'' without the required fields the ''Send'' button is > disabled and the text is replaced with ''Please wait...'' which is as I > expected.

Hi Klaus,
thanks for your response. I tried this:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(){
if ((document.myForm.email_projectname.value=="")||
(document.myForm.email_projecttype_id.selectedIndex<1)||
(document.myForm.email_region_id.selectedIndex<1)
||(document.myForm.email_message_body.value==""))
{
alert ("You must fill in all of the required fields!")
return false
}
else
{
document.forms["myForm"].submit();
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>
which I hope is what you were proposing in your response, but it still
doesn''t Post. It just hangs.
Regards
Walter

Hi Klaus,
now I''m really confused. When I remove the validation and use return
true:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(){
document.forms["myForm"].submit();
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
It posts, no problem.
Any ideas?
Regards
Walter

Hi Klaus,
thanks for your help. The following code now works:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function validate(){
if ((document.myForm.email_projectname.value=="")||
(document.myForm.email_projecttype_id.selectedIndex<1)||
(document.myForm.email_region_id.selectedIndex<1))
{
alert ("You must fill in all of the required fields!");
return false;
}
else
{
document.forms["myForm"].submit();
return true;
}
}
//-->
</script>
Thanks again.
Regards
Walter
