Hi Folks,

 

I'm just playing around with the OnBlur event and while it works my visitors still can Submit.

 

Let's say I want to check for a certain character in a field and bring up an error message. I can use

 

if (this.value.indexOf("@") == -1)

{

alert("error")

}

 

But this doesn't stop the visitor from hitting the Submit link.

 

I know I can remove the text in the field and set the field to be required but that wouldn't please the visitor if they have entered a lot of text.

 

This is just an example to highlight a potential problem.

 

I supppose what I would like would be an OnSubmit validation facility.

 

Any ideas, hints or tips ?

 

Thanks

 

Tony

 

 

 

 

Hi Tony, I've not verified this solution will work, but it's worth a try. Try adding a return false; in your javascript, such as...

if (this.value.indexOf("@") == -1)

{

alert("error")
return false;
}
