This handy javascript library provides for simple validation of the data within form fields. It uses a "validator" option within your form input fields, to match against it's library of regular expressions. To use it, follow these simple steps:-
Download the validation library.
right click the link above, and choose "Save Target As" ... save it as "validator.js" - Upload this to your web site, in any directory
-
On the pages where you have a form that needs validation, add this line to your <head> </head> section, changing "/path/to" with the directory where you installed the library:
<script language="javascript" src="/path/to/validator.js"></script>
-
On any form that you want validated, create your form like this:
<FORM id = "theForm" onSubmit = "return validateForm(theForm)">
Note that you must give your form an "id", and also use that "id" in the validateForm clause -
For any input field that you want validated, add a "validator" clause, ie:
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT name=ip value="128.0.0.1" validator="ipAddress">
