form validation

[manick]

Hi all,Me again (js newbie), I am trying to validate info entered into a form but again am fairly clueless, can anybody tell me if I am anywhere near?regexp = /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/function ismail(isit){ if (regexp.test(form.billEmailAddress.value)){ return true } return false }function isname(isit){ if (isit==""||isit==null) return false }function istel(isit){ var num = "0123456789() ";for (var intLoop = 0; intLoop < form.billPhoneNumber.value.length; intLoop++) {if (-1 == num.indexOf(form.billPhoneNumber.value.charAt(intLoop))) return false} function validate() {if (isname(form.billFamilyName==false) {alert ("Please enter your surname");form.billFamilyName.focus();return false;}if ismail(form.billEmailAddress==false) {alert ("Please enter a valid Email Address");form.billEmailAddress.focus();return false;}if (istel(form.billPhoneNumber==false){alert ("please enter a valid telephone Number");form.billPhoneNumber.focus();return false;} return true;}I'm still a bit clueless about how it gets the info from the form as well If anybody has got any pointers?Many thanksNick Trenam

The only way you will know if you are near is by testing it, try entering correct/incorrect info into your form and see what happens. Depending on the results you will know what areas need to be looked at

I'm still a bit clueless about how it gets the info from the form as well If anybody has got any pointers?

To get info from forms i tend to use:Form element: <input type="text" id="box1" />access it by: var first=document.getElementById('box1').value;check it by: if(first==null) etc etc
