client side validation

does anyone have an example of the following:

javascript validation on a form

if successfull call aspcode to process the form into a database. I have the javascript working but i cant get it to process correctly. Any example would be great

pretty busy at work right now, so dont have time to write up the code for you, but if you form validation is working, just do the following:

Code:

---


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
<!--

function checkform(){

  //do you checking here
  if successful
        document.form1.submit()

}


-->

</SCRIPT>

---

do you need more than this?

I have the javascript working fine. It does all the validation..


function validPass(inPass) {
if (inPass == "") {
return true
}
if (inPass.length >=6) {
return true
}

return false
}



function submitIt(JoinForm) {

if (JoinForm.oldPass.value == "") {
alert("Please enter password.")
JoinForm.oldPass.focus()
return false
}

if (JoinForm.newPass.value == "") {
alert("Please enter your password.")
JoinForm.newPass.focus()
JoinForm.newPass.select()
return false

}


if (!validPass(JoinForm.newPass.value)) {
alert("Your password must be at least 6 characters.")
JoinForm.newPass.focus()
JoinForm.newPass.select()
return false
}

if (JoinForm.confirmNewPass.value == "") {
alert("Please enter your password.")
JoinForm.confirmNewPass.focus()
JoinForm.confirmNewPass.select()
return false

}
if (JoinForm.confirmNewPass.value != JoinForm.newPass.value) {
alert("The passwords must be the same.")
JoinForm.confirmNewPass.focus()
JoinForm.confirmNewPass.select()
return false
}

document.frmPass.submit();



But the form is not bing called correctly. I sort of solved it by posting to another form that does the procesing but why cant i post to the same form?

Is the submitIt(JoinForm)function being called from frmPass's onSubmit event? If it is then your last line: document.frmPass.submit();
would not be allowed because it would endlessly loop.

i am calling it in the following manner:

<form onSubmit="return submitIt(this)" method="post" action="changePass.asp" id="frmPass" name="frmPass">

i have the following aspcode that i am trying to process at the beginning of the page

<%Sub ChangePass()
on error goto 0
dim dbconn
dim strNewPass
dim strLoginCheck
dim rstUpdate
Dim qryUpdate
dim blnSuccess

Set dbConn= Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
dbConn.Open connString
'student
set rstUpdate = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")


strLoginCheck="Y"


qryUpdate="UPDATE table SET variable='"& Request.form("variable") &"', variable='"& variable & "' WHERE variable = " & session("varaible")

set rstUpdate = dbConn.Execute(qryUpdate)
set rstupdate=dbconn.Execute("standard sql))
if not rstUpdate.EOF then
if rstUpdate("LOGIN_CHECK")="Y" then
closers(dbConn)
closeRS(rstUpdate)
Response.Redirect("goodpage.asp")
else
closers(dbConn)
closeRS(rstUpdate)
Response.Redirect("badpage.asp")
end if
end if
End Sub

If Request.Form("Submit1") = "GO" Then
call changePass()
end if%>


right now when i click the go button it works through the javascript but doesnt touch the asp code. But when i post to another page to process works great. I change the bottom of the java script to :

return false
}
return true'if successfull
}
i thought that might be a loop like you guys said.
