Would anyone like to have a quick look at this code and let me know what i need to do for the following?

validate the form with a pop up error message for blank fields

only numbers accepted for the phone number

an proper email address only for the email bit such as joe@bloggs.com

Thanks....




code:


<html>

<head>

<title>Contact Page</title>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="/mail.cgi">
<p>name<input type="text" name="name" size="20"></p>
<p>address<input type="text" name="address" size="20"></p>
<p>phone&nbsp; <input type="text" name="phone" size="20"></p>
<p>email address<input type="text" name="email" size="20"></p>

I have had a bash at validation and can do the basics, but can't figure out the only numbers bit and valid email bit??

Have taken the info from the above mentioned url, the form now validates all fields, except the phone field still accepts letters and the email field accepts anything including no @'s etc. Anymore ideas as all the bits i have found on the net are way above my head.

Try this link...

http://www.gatewayorlando.com/content/informationrequest.asp

for an example of form field validation on steriods or that's been irradiated. There's a whole ton of Javascript driving the validation so it might just crap out on some browsers (http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2424). I'm in the process of shifting it from client-side to server-side. The pages should be up for at least the next three-four days.
Please remember that its not nice to use code without giving proper credit.

Thanks for your reply, I don't intend to go live with any web stuff as i am just trying to learn basic JS for fun. I seem to be able to pick it up better from examples rather than brainstorming through books. The linked validation is excellent but still way over my head, I am hoping to start with something basic but thanks anyway...

The overall design is based on the idea of using individual functions to handle each individual field. The function that validates the entire form simply calls one function after another.
