mickeymouse 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 Isn't this code correct? I'm trying to test for the length of an input field when submit is clicked. function formcheck() {if(stdcd.value.length < 9){alert(\"MUST BE 9 CHARACTERS.\");return false;} return true;} Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,014 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 The variable "stdcd" is not defined, you need to assign an input element to it before you can use it. You can access an element using one of many DOM methods such as getElementById() or querySelector() 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makwana Prahlad 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 Hello, @mickeymouse Try this code : <html> <head> <script> function countlength() { var textval = document.getElementById("val"); if (textval.value.length < 9) { alert("MUST BE 9 CHARACTERS." + "\n\nYour input characters length is :- " + textval.value.length); return false; } return true; } </script> <title>Input value length checked</title> </head> <body> <h2>Input value length checked</h2> <input type="text" name="val" id="val" /> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit" onclick="countlength()" /> </body> </html> I hope above code will be useful for you. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsonesuk 901 Report post Posted October 23, 2019 That limits the string length to a max of 9, the js code allows 9 and above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
