[cjc1055]

I am new to validation. I have never done it before so any help would be appreciated. I am using classic ASP with ASPmail as the email client. Below is a link to my code... thanks in advance! the first half of the code is in below, and the second half is in the post below it....

<%
strHost = "mail.server.com"
If Request("Send") <> "" Then
Set Mail = Server.CreateObject("Persits.MailSender")
Mail.Host = strHost

Mail.From = "email@addres.com"
Mail.FromName = "from"
Mail.AddAddress "email@address.com", "name"


Mail.Subject = Request("Subject")
Mail.Body = "How did you hear about us: " &Request("hear") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Who is your Team manager: " &Request ("manager") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Who is your account executive: " &Request ("executive") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"What is your first name: " &Request ("first") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"What is your middle initial: " &Request ("middle") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"What is your last name: " &Request ("last") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Suffix: " &Request ("suffix") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Address: " &Request ("address") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"City: " &Request ("city") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"State: " &Request ("state") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Zip Code: " &Request ("zip") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Email Address: " &Request ("email") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Password: " &Request ("password") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Web Address: " &Request ("web") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Business Phone: " &Request ("business") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Mobile Phone: " &Request ("mobile") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Home Phone: " &Request ("home") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Fax Number: " &Request ("fax") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Social Security Number: " &Request ("ssn") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Best Phone to be reached: " &Request ("whichphone") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Best Time to be Reached: " &Request ("besttime") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company Name: " &Request ("company") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Owners Name: " &Request ("owner") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Broker of Record: " &Request ("broker") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company Address: " &Request ("companyaddress") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company City: " &Request ("companycity") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company State: " &Request ("companystate") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company Zip Code: " &Request ("companyzip") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Office Phone: " &Request ("companyofficephone") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Office Fax: " &Request ("companyfax") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Company Website Address: " &Request ("companyweb") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Licensed Realtor Since: " &Request ("realtorsince") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Years of experience as realtor: " &Request ("experience") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"FL Real estate lic #: " &Request ("realestatenumber") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"MLS ID #: " &Request ("mlsid") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Houses sold per month: " &Request ("averagesales") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Average Price of homes sold: " &Request ("averageprice") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Type of mortgages (clients): " &Request ("mortgagetypes") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Currently a broker: " &Request ("currentlymtgbroker") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Mortgage Broker Since: " &Request ("mtgbrokersince") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Years experience as Mtg Broker: " &Request ("experiencebroker") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Fl Mtg Broker License #: " &Request ("brokernumber") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"What state is license held: " &Request ("licensestate") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"License with lender?: " &Request ("licenselender") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Average amount of loans: " &Request ("amountofloan") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Avg Amt of loans per month: " &Request ("loansclosed") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Other Licenses: " &Request ("otherlicenses") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 1 Name: " &Request ("ref1name") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 1 Company: " &Request ("ref1company") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 1 Phone: " &Request ("ref1phone") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref 1 Time Known: " &Request ("ref1time") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 2 Name: " &Request ("ref2name") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 2 Company: " &Request ("ref2company") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 2 Phone: " &Request ("ref2phone") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref 2 Time Known: " &Request ("ref2time") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 3 Name: " &Request ("ref3name") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 3 Company: " &Request ("ref3company") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref. 3 Phone: " &Request ("ref3phone") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Ref 3 Time Known: " &Request ("ref3time") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Questions Comments: " &Request ("comments") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Felony or misdemeanor?: " &Request ("1a") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Any Felony?: " &Request ("1b") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"subject of investigation?: " &Request ("2") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Understands Disclosure: " &Request ("disclosure") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Information on coverages (on=yes) (blank=no): " &Request ("coverage") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Wants secure link services (on=yes) (blank=no): " &Request ("link") &chr(13) & chr(10) &"Wants to upgrade personal webpage (on=yes) (blank=no): " &Request ("upgrade")

I am new to validation. I have never done it before so any help would be appreciated.
Howsabout a description of what you want to validate and how? ;)

[cjc1055]

sorry :)

I want to have First name, last name, address, city, zip, state, email address(requiring a & and a .), password at least 4 charecters, business phone, home phone, and social security number, all of the professional references, (name, company, phone, how long have you know this person), the three radio buttons, and the non disclosure statement checkbox, all need to be validated.

Thanks for the quick response and I thank you for looking at this for me!

[cjc1055]

I've been working on this for hours and still can't figure it out... any suggestions?

[wmif]

post what you have so far. no one is gonna write everything out for you.

[cjc1055]

I'm really not asking anyone to write it for me.. I just need a starting point... I tried looking at other code to figure it out.. I'm just not getting it.. if someone could just give me a starting point to play with I could probably get it.

Thanks

[phpnovice]

For starters... For ASP validation, you'll generally want to use a flow similar to the following:

<% @Language=VBScript %>
<% Option Explicit
'
' opening ASP code here
'
Dim inError, errMessage
errMessage = ""
inError = False
'
If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
'
' validation and updating ASP code here
'
End If
'
If Not inError Then
'
' page initializing code here
'
End If
%>
<!DOCTYPE ... >
<HTML>
..etc...
<!--
somewhere in here you'll display any resulting error message
you might use code such as the following to insert ASP
variable content into your HTML:

<% If inError Then Response.Write errMessage %>
-->
..etc...
</HTML>
<%
'
' closing ASP code here
'
%>

does anyone want to write a validation code into the code that i posted? how much $$ email me if interested cjc1055@yahoo.com

[cjc1055]

Well I thought I was stuck here with no validation until I got an email from Dave Clark at www.DaveClarkConsulting.com and he not only created an awesome script for me, but he formatted my form correctly, and formatted the way the email looks when it is mailed to me. He made it perfect. If anyone needs any work done, i definately reccommend him.

Thanks Dave

[phpnovice]

Yeah, I let him know that you were looking for some contracting help. I'm sure you could have gotten just as good of results from here but, at forum posting speeds, it would probably have taken at least a week in exchanges of instructive-type information -- instead of just a couple of days. ;)

Cheers.

[cjc1055]

Yeah, thanks for letting him know about me. I was speachless after I opened up the script he wrote for me. I really couldn't believe he did such a good job and did so many things that I wasn't even expecting, and it looks much more professional now than I ever could have gotten it to look. All I can say is wow!

Thanks!
