I am using javascript and server side validation. This is a scenario for if someone has javascript turned off and the server side validation comes into play.
I have a form which submits to a hidden page which retrieves the data and the submits it to a db. When the data is posted, I am doing server validation checks before submitting to the db ie.
if str = "" or str = "" then
print this page saying 'please complete all fields'.
Now the user has to user their back browser button to get back to the form. The problem is that sometimes the values they entered into the form are there and sometimes they aren't. How can I ensure that the values they entered are still in the form?
When the moderator jmurrayhead reviewed my website he pointed me a good point that I never though would be a problem but could be. He said that turning off the browser's javascript my sign in form or other form that uses javascript won't work the way they should.
He advised to ensure I validate everything server-side instead. My queastion is how can I validate an email address on the server-side? Do I have to uses javascript too?
Should i to validate all the "Request"s calls
like Request.FORM("...") and Request.Cookies("...")
if it is so, i have to see inside
every "Input" elements like "Text" and even "Hidden"
and every Request.Cookies i'm using ???
Can someone please explain to me what server side validation is and how this works, also where do you put this, and in which programming language do you write this. Some examples are also welkom.I've never used this but I want to learn how.
View Replies View RelatedI'd like to see if there is any guidance in the form of sample code or a
tutorial for server-side validation. Specifically for the thing I am trying
to do, if a user types too many letters into Textarea, then they see an
error on the screen. I was able to catch most occurrences of this error with
client-side javascript.
However, I'd like to handle it server-side in order
to catch those cases that get by the javascript for whatever reason. If I
could just catch the error before it gets displayed, then display a warning
in red letters in a pretty format, then that's all I'm hoping to do.
I went to ASPFAQ.com, didn't find anything there. I also did a search of
this forum and didn't see anything. I know conceptually what I want to do,
but I am not sure how to go about it.
is it possible to do the data validation using ASP (server side) or javascript is the only way to do?
View Replies View RelatedThis would be the longest project I have worked on, but I'm trying to use client side validation on a form that collects a users information. The problem I have is how do you validate a field when processing the form and if a field say is EMPTY, then error message and the users needs to enter some data.
I know that I can say POST="validate.asp" or something, however I have this page going from one form page to another and I can't get my head around being able to validate the field on the page before processing the form and moving to page 2 form, and so on.
Is there away to have the validation on the first page and somehow once validated move to page 2 form?
I have an asp website..the validation is done in javascript..now is there any ossibility that, if javascript is not supported by a particular browser or if the javascript is disabled, the server-side validation(VBscript) automatically fires.

View Replies View RelatedI wrote a sever side form valiation script that loops through the form elements building a string in the process. If you submit the form without filling in any fields you will get the error message in read at form's top. Look how the fields in the error message are completely out of order. Why is this? Code:
View Replies View RelatedI've got a form that is activated by an external .asp page. I've finally got the validation of the form working, the javascript alert pops-up and correctly identifies the mistakes, but when I click OK on the js pop-up, the form submits and I get a data mismatch error.
I can't seem to figure out how to get the form to wait for the right data... Code:
I have a Client Side Java Script which is supposed to re-load the options on my serverside ASP form.
I have been trying to get the syntax right to assign the Select box on the ASP form to a variable in my JavaScript so I can update the options. Can anyone either tell me if this is not possible or what the syntax should be. Here is some information.
Form Name = AddProdForm
Select Box name = subprodline
JavaScript Variable = form1
Here is one of the many versions of this line I have tried.
var form1=document.forms(""AddProdform"");
if there is a way to validate email addresses further. For example I just received an email from this person:-
cvx@fcxgf.fgfd
Obviously some fool trying to f**k with my form and send me a test email.
Because an array of countries have different extentions, can I not somehow validate for that?
I guess my validation is picking up on the @ symbol and the fact that some chars are needed before and after the @ symbol and a dot exists. But can we validate this further to prevent me getting this kind of email?
Is it possible to create a Form on the server and populate the forms collection with key/value pairs via vb script code, then send it post to a processing server page. I'd be able to use the same page as receiving/processing page from client or server.
View Replies View RelatedI have form inputs that are sequential in the form Act1, Act2, ...
I want to use a loop to update a database with these form inputs. What syntax could i possibly use. I have tried to use the code below.
For iLoop = 1 To iInputs
rs8.Addnew
rs8("activity") = Request.Form("Act+(iLoop)")

Is there a way (and can you give me a very brief example or point me to one)
to go through all the form objects sent by a PUT to determine what the form
object names were and the values sent?
I need to do this with VBScript on a "classic" ASP application.
Request.Form doesn't seem to do it. While I can tell how many objects were
sent (Request.Form.Count) and what the value of each object is
(Request.Form(I).Item or simply Request.Form(I)) to some degree, I can't
seem to nail down the object name.
Also, I noticed that a <button> field with an embedded <img> returns the
image when queried by Request.Form(I).Item.
I am trying to debug an issue with sessions in my ASP 3.0 web
application, which runs fine on WIN2K Pro and WINXP Pro, yet fails to
function correctly on WIN2K Advanced Server.
My actual application is using sessions to store username, and security
level (permissions) for my application. The default.asp page is the login,
where these values are set. I have triple and quadruple checked my IIS
Settings to make sure "Enable Session State" is checked, and the
session.timeout is set to 120.
Now if I remove my application, recreate it
in IIS admin, stop and start the IIS services, and run my application, the
session variables seem to be saved across the first redirect to my
main_menu.asp page. Here I have several menu choices, which are dependent
on the session("seclevel") to determine which they can or cannot access.
Here is where it seems my session vars are lost, since when I click on any
choice, I get redirected to the log_out.asp page, which abandons the session
and returns the user to the login (default.asp) page. Code:

How do I go about calling a server-side vbscript within a client-side
javascript function? What I have is a page heavy on the javascript that has
a number of functions, one of which is to begin a visual countdown with an
onclick and also open an asp page containing the server-side vbscript, which
initiates a wake-on-lan call. I had no idea how to call the vbscript within
the javascript function, so this is why I opted for the vbscript asp page
"pop-up" via window.open. Code:
I check to see if a certain submission button is asking for removal. If the removal is true, I update a recordset's delete column. This has been tested and it works. However, now I'd like to prompt the user to make sure that he/she wants to remove the record. Here's the code: ....

I have created a new site, using asp.net c#. My pages contain client side validation to validate the users input. On my local machine this works fine, but when I moved my site to the test server, the validation don't want to execute. If I view source on the page I can see the java script is created, but it don't execute.
I'm browsing to the site in IE, so it is not a browser problem and the validtation works on other sites on the same server.
Everytime i submit, it does no validation checks and just submits the form as normal and i cannot work out why. Does someone know where i am going wrong.

I am starting to build quite a few pages that will have
tables of data from an SQL database.
I have been building the table rows on the server side
in VBScript, but I have been thinking about having the
VBScript code just build array variables in the <head>
section (or as local variables), and then have JavaScript
functions on the client side actually populate the tables
when the page loads.
I do plan to do other things like being able to sort the
tables in JavaScript code on the client, limit the tables
height and be able to scroll the rows, and click on a row
in the table, and have the values populate a form. I will
also need to be able to export/download/? some tables into
Excel.
im trying to use the following code to log whenever a user clicks through
this particlular message box - however, this currently logs regardless of
whether or not the message box was clicked - im assuming this is because the
server-side code can't see the client side if condition. but how can i set
the varMsgBox variable as a server-side variable? Code:

In my prototype asp page (with no javascript and no password validation, I have a registration form with the following action:
<form name="form" method="post" action="RegDetails.asp">
This works fine, the form details are collected by RegDetails.asp
I am attempting to include javascript server side validation for the pasword, which obviously requires password and password2 fields (to be verified). I have used the script available at:
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/val-pass.html
It works fine in a new blank page with the form action:
<form name=myForm onSubmit="return validatePwd()">
The final stage in this javascript demo form displays an alert box:
else {
alert('Nice job.');
return true;
When I change the first line of my original form to:
<form name=myForm onSubmit="return validatePwd()">
how do I get my original action of - action="RegDetails.asp" instead of this alert box?
