Validation onSubmit?

Jeney · #1 02-08-2007, 12:38 PM

I am using DW MX2004 and MS Access. I have an insert form which works fine...HOWEVER, I want to make sure that users accepts the Terms & Conditions of our website before allowing them to post their inventoy. I have a checkbox on the form. If they check it then all is well and the insert will work as designed. IF they don't check it - I want an alert advising "You have choosen NOT to accept the Terms & Conditions of XXXX.com, so your inventory has NOT been posted." (obviously NOT update the dB) and take them back to our home page. I am new at this and trying to work it into the current code that DW writes. I can 'OnSubmit' call Javascript - but am lost at how to code it...have this so far...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

THANKS for any and all help!!!

Something like this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Terms &amp; Conditions</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<script type="text/javascript">
function validate() {
if (!document.Update.Terms.checked) {
	alert ("You have choosen NOT to accept the Terms & Conditions of XXXX.com, so your inventory has NOT been posted.");
	location.href="http://www.XXXX.com/"; // your homepage
        return false;
	}
}

</script>

</head>
<body>
<form action="processForm.cgi" name="Update" onsubmit="return validate();">
	<fieldset><legend>Terms &amp; Conditions</legend>
		<label for="Terms"><input type="checkbox" name="Terms" id="Terms">accept the Terms &amp; Conditions</label>
		<button type="submit">submit</button>
	</fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>
