The Praetorian Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi. I'm using this script ... Here ... to validate my mail form to make sure people aren't sending in blank forms. It worked fine until I added this code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html><head><title>The Shattered Realms ~ Application</title><?php include 'meta.txt'?><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="new.css" media="all" /><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="app.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">function hideshow(which){ if (!document.getElementById) return; var spans = document.getElementsByTagName("span"); for(var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) { if(spans[i].className == "hide") spans[i].style.display = "none"; } if (which.style.display != "inline") which.style.display = "inline";}</script><style type="text/css">.hide {display:none;}</style></head><body><table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" class="table" align="center"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <?php include 'menutop.txt'?> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="lnavigate" valign="top"> <?php include 'menu.txt'?> </td> <td class="content" valign="top"> <div class="header">~ The Application ~</div> <div class="maincontent"><form method="post" action="appmail.php" name="app" onsubmit="return ValidateRequiredFields();"><h1>Character Information</h1><br /><p>* : Required Fields</p><p><b>* Name</b><br /><input type="text" name="CharacterName" size="20" /><br /></p><p><b>* Nationality</b> ( + Requires you to choose a Race/Sub-species )<br /><input type="radio" name="Nation" value="Ihthian" onclick="hideshow(document.getElementById('raceone'))" /> : Ihthian +<span id="raceone" class="hide"> | Pahth : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Pahth" /> Roehn : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Roehn" /> Theyhn : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Theyhn" /> Ohnen : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Ohnen" /></span><br /><input type="radio" name="Nation" value="Siyk" /> : Siyk<br /><input type="radio" name="Nation" value="Shani" /> : Shani<br /><input type="radio" name="Nation" value="Ush'ii" /> : Ush'ii<br /><input type="radio" name="Nation" value="Ikarri" onclick="hideshow(document.getElementById('racetwo'))" /> : Ikarri +<span id="racetwo" class="hide"> | Kiil : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Kiil" /> Iken : <input type="radio" name="Race" value="Iken" /></span><br /></p><p><b>* Age</b> : <input type="text" name="CharacterAge" size="2" /></p><p><b>* M:</b><input type="radio" name="Gender" value="Male" /> <b>F:</b><input type="radio" name="Gender" value="Female" /></p><p><b>Shapers</b> <input type="checkbox" name="Guild" value="Yes" /><br />Check this box if you would like your character to be a Shaper.<br />(<b>Required reading: </b><a href="laws.php" target="_blank">The Laws of the Deep</a>, <a href="pathfinders.php" target="_blank">The Pathfinders</a>.)</p><p><b>* Brief History</b><br /><textarea name="History" rows="15" cols="52"></textarea></p><p><b>* Writing Sample</b><br /><textarea name="WritingSample" rows="15" cols="52"></textarea></p><br /><h1>Personal Information</h1><p>Please be honest.

The Praetorian Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well, I removed the <!-- --> from the js file and it still won't work.Honestly I think it's the other javascript that I have, because I'm using this validation script on another mail form and it works fine. Same script. For some reason I think adding the collapse/expand script messed up the other one.. but I'm not sure how... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Praetorian Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 Bump.Anyone have any ideas on this one?After some random testing.. I discovered that this script has only stopped working on Firefox. It still works on IE and on Opera. Very confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesh Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 After some random testing.. I discovered that this script has only stopped working on Firefox. It still works on IE and on Opera. Very confusing.Does Firefox report any errors? If so, what are those errors? If not, you might try adding an alert in the validation code just to make sure that the code is executing:function ValidateRequiredFields(){alert("Well? Does this show up?");var FieldList = RequiredFields.split(",")... I noticed that on your Contact Us form, you're using a file called mail.js whereas on the Apply form, you're using app.js. Perhaps there's a minor difference between the two codes that you may be overlooking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Praetorian Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Firefox doesn't report any errors. It runs the page fine and seems to ignore the script altogether.I looked at both forms, and they both seem to be the same. Only slightly different because one form is longer than the other.As for that validation script, could you be more specific? heh. I don't really know a whole lot about writing javascript.

jesh Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 As for that validation script, could you be more specific? heh. I don't really know a whole lot about writing javascript.Oh, I was just suggesting that you put in an alert into your ValidateRequiredFields function. That way, if the page calls that function, the alert will pop up and you'll know that you're on the right track. If the alert doesn't come up, then that function isn't being called. It's just a way to start debugging your scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
