POjQuery Validation Engine and hashing with Sha512
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a problem with getting the password hashing working alongside with jQuery validation engine. The problem is that I can't seem to hash the given password.</p> <p>This is what i have so far.</p> <pre><code> <script> jQuery(document).ready( function() { jQuery("#form").validationEngine('attach', {onValidationComplete: function(form, status){ if (status == true) { $("form#form").bind('submit', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); }); function formhash(form, password) { var p = document.createElement("input"); form.appendChild(p); p.name = "p"; p.type = "hidden"; p.value = hex_sha512(password.value); password.value = ""; form.submit(); } } } }) }; </script> </code></pre> <p>By running the processing script after the submission I can find and use the un-hashed password but that just isn't good enough for me.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong?</p> <p>Edit: I applied some more javascript and an additional "background validation" by isolation the function (formhash) and put in in a seperate file, added onsubmit="return validate(this);" in the form header. It ain't that pretty but it seems to do the trick. </p> <p>Any suggestions about improvments are still welcome though. </p> <pre><code> <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(form) { var reason = ""; reason += validatePassword(form.password); if (reason != "") { return false; } formhash(form, form.password) return true; } function validatePassword(fld) { var error = ""; if (fld.value == "") { error = ""; } return error; } </script> </code></pre>
