Can anyone help me with this - first, I need a script where if someone clicks a button twice in a row, an alert box comes up and tells them that they clicked it twice, then it refreshes the page. The other script I need, is for a textbox. If someone writes some particular word, like EzBoard, then clicks the Submit button, it says they can't write that word, then it refreshes the page. Will any one help?

Yea, first script...

<input type="button" onDblClick="alert('Only click once, please!'); window.location.reload()">

Second...
<SCRIPT>
if(document.frm.textarea1.indexOf("EzBoard") {
alert("You cannot use that word");
window.location.reload()
}
</SCRIPT>
<FORM name="frm">
<TEXTAREA name="textarea1">
</TEXTAREA>

OK, let's try a function...

<SCRIPT>
function test() {
if(document.myForm.textarea1.indexOf("EzBoard") {
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()
} }
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<Form name="myForm">
<textarea name="textarea1">
</textarea><br>
<input type=button onClick="test()" value="TEST!">
</form>

hmm... I used to know JavaScript by reading millions of tutorials lol but havn't done it for ages and forgot how to work with it lol... I can't get that script to work either. Heres my page...

<html>
<head>
<title>tests</title>

<SCRIPT>
function test() {
if(document.myForm.textarea1.indexOf("EzBoard") {
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()
} }
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body>

<Form name="myForm">
<textarea name="textarea1"> </textarea><br>
<input type=button onClick="test()" value="TEST!">
</form>

</body>
</html>

Heh, I can't find it either... :confused:

First of all, notice we are missing a )

if(document.myForm.textarea1.indexOf("EzBoard") {

Should be:

if(document.myForm.textarea1.indexOf("EzBoard")) {

But I tried that, and it has a problem too!
Hmmmmmmmm..............

<html>
<head>
<title>tests</title>

<SCRIPT>
function test() {
if(document.myForm.textarea1.value.indexOf("EzBoard")) {
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()
} }
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body>

<Form name="myForm">

That works - but - your still the idiot that you are :p. lol j/k but any word I enter brings up the pop-up window. You forgot the { else } things lol. I'll fix that. Thanks.

Hmm that didn't work either, when I added else...

<html>
<head>
<title>tests</title>

<SCRIPT>
function test() {
if(document.myForm.textarea1.value.indexOf("EzBoard")) {
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()

}
{
else
}
}
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body>

<Form name="myForm">
<textarea name="textarea1"> </textarea><br>
<input type=button onClick="test()" value="TEST!">
</form>

</body>
</html>

I didn't test it completely :)

Yea, the else worked for me. Without the else I see where you're coming from. Are you using Netscape? It works perfectly in IE6. You may try, "else { return false }" or something like that.

function test()
{
if(document.myForm.textarea1.value.indexOf("EzBoard"))
{
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()
}
else
{
}
}


The braces after else were wrong.

Are you on a Mac?

That works fine for me. Let me put it here again:
<SCRIPT>
function test() {
if(document.myForm.textarea1.value.indexOf("EzBoard")) {
alert("You cannot post that word");
window.location.reload()
} else {
} }
</SCRIPT>

If that doesn't work, you must have JavaScript disabled or something!

That's weird: it works perfectly for me...

if(document.formName.textarea.value=="EzBoard") {
alert("but this only works if they ONLY typed EzBoard!")
}
