Website Form Control

[jlarge143]

I have a website that I just built, the contact us page is built also, but I have some issues with it. For one I need to know how to put restrictions on the website, for instance, If they didn't fill in their phone number, they didn't put in their email address. I need to when they press submit to have a javascript error telling them to complete those missing sections. I thought i had it figured out, but it's not working for me. Can you help with this issue please? Here is the contact us form page www.quietcoolfan.net/contact_us.php

Assuming you've used the BlueVoda tool to create your form, simply right click on the field you want; find the Validate tab to make it a required field.

Re: Website Form Control

Ya i did exactly as instructed and this is now working for me. I check the data required box, publish it, and I can just press submit with no problem and no javascript.

Are you sure it's working? I just hit the submit button without filling out anything, and it gave me the thank you message.

Re: Website Form Control

Thats what I'm saying, it's NOT working, I have all the field boxes checked for data requirement and it just keeps going right through without a error message, it should have a error message saying please give your first name, and so on. I really need help here.

Your form is named "Contact Us Form"

Rename it to "Contct_us_Form"

Whitespaces break the validation Javascript.

Re: Website Form Control

Several of your pages are "untitled"
Viewing in FireFox 3.5 shows text/link overlap on different pages.

Nice job on the site.

Re: Website Form Control

Ya I definately need to title all the pages, just took a break, thanks for the input, it's always nice to get a 2nd opinion. I'm not sure what causes firefox to do these wierd things. Anyone have any suggestions or a fix for this?

Re: Website Form Control

You will have to physically space items until both browsers display OK.
