POMultiple form onsubmit validations?
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a form and currently I have a javascript code to validate my form to make sure that the user fills out every input. my form action includes:</p> <pre><code>onsubmit="return validateForm();" </code></pre> <p>Which is the javascript to make sure every field is filled out. If it makes any difference, here is my javascript code:</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[function validateForm() { var a=document.forms["myform"]["inf_field_FirstName"].value; var b=document.forms["myform"]["inf_field_Email"].value; var c=document.forms["myform"]["inf_field_Phone1"].value; if (a==null || a=="" || a=="First Name Here") { alert("Please enter your First Name!"); return false; } if (c==null || c==''|| c=="Enter Your Phone Here") { alert("Please insert your phone number!"); return false; } var emailRegEx = /^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$/i; if (document.myform.inf_field_Email.value.search(emailRegEx) == -1) { alert("Please enter a valid email address."); return false; } } // ]]> </script> </code></pre> <p>However on the phone number field, defined at c, I want to add another script that will pop up if the user doesn't enter a phone number at least 9 digits long. I was thinking of adding a code like this</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> function validate(){ var c=document.forms["myform"] if (input.length<9){ alert("Please enter a real phone number") return false }else { return true } } </script> </code></pre> <p>However I don't know how to run both functions on submit. I am extremely new to javascript so excuse me if there's already a simple solution to this.</p> <p>Thanks</p>
