Pre-Validate Form Field Contents Before formmail Processes Submit

Hi,

Check for the inclusion of "formval" <script>.

Perhaps your validation doesn't work with ours.

Hello Russell.

No sign of a "formval" <script> in my form HTML.

My _validate.js script is pretty simple. Here it is below:

function mastervalidate(frm)
	{
	if(frm.fullname.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your name");
		frm.fullname.focus();
		return false;
	}
		
	if(frm.address.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your address");
		frm.address.focus();
		return false;
	}
	if(frm.city.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your city");
		frm.city.focus();
		return false;
	}
		
	if(frm.state.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your state");
		frm.state.focus();
		return false;
	}
		
	if(frm.zipcode.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your zipcode");
		frm.zipcode.focus();
		return false;
	}


	if(frm.country.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your country");
		frm.country.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if(frm.cardnum.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your card number");
		frm.cardnum.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if((frm.cardnum.value.length != 16 && frm.cardnum.value.length != 13) && frm.cardtype.value=="visa")
		{
		alert("Please enter a 13 or a 16-digit Visa card # without spaces or dashes. E.g., 4123412341234123 or 4123412341234");
		frm.cardnum.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if((frm.cardtype.value=="mc" || frm.cardtype.value=="dis") && frm.cardnum.value.length != 16)
		{
		alert("Please enter a 16 digit Mastercard or Discover card # without spaces or dashes. E.g., 5123412341234123");
		frm.cardnum.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if(frm.cardtype.value=="amex" && frm.cardnum.value.length != 15 )
		{
		alert("Please enter a 15-digit Amex card # without spaces or dashes. E.g., 312341234123412");
		frm.cardnum.focus();
		return false;
	}
		
	if(frm.CVC.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your CVC code");
		frm.CVC.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if((frm.cardtype.value=="visa" || frm.cardtype.value=="mc" || frm.cardtype.value=="dis") && frm.CVC.value.length != 3)
		{
		alert("Please enter the 3 digit security code on the back of your Visa, Mastercard or Discover card. E.g., 234");
		frm.CVC.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if(frm.cardtype.value=="amex" && frm.CVC.value.length != 4 )
		{
		alert("Please enter the 4 digit security code on the front of your Amex card. E.g., 1234");
		frm.CVC.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	if(frm.emailaddress.value=="")
		{
		alert("Please enter your Email Address");
		frm.emailaddress.focus();
		return false;
	}
	
	
	if (!(/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,4})+$/.test(frm.emailaddress.value))) 
	    {
			alert("Please enter a VALID email address");
			frm.emailaddress.focus();
			return false;
	}
	
	return true
		
}//end function

Hi,

It looks OK.

But this isn't really a FormMail issue.

Diagnosing JavaScript problems isn't trivial, so I recommend you try to get some help on a forum such as stackoverflow.com.

I did discover that Formmail is not keeping the onSubmit from triggering. So that helped to isolate the issue. The Google Chrome Developer tool is so handy.
