Form Field Validation?
We have a shared hosting plan (Windows-based) with GoDaddy.com. GD.com has a
"generic" form mailer script (gdform.asp) that allows us to set up a
"Contact Us" page, which, when the user clicks "Submit" sends an email to
us.
I am a complete newbie re asp, but looking at the code, it looks to me as if
a error is generated if any of the fields are left blank--which is good. I
don't want to be getting emails that don't contain messages, or that don't
contain a return email address.
However, submitting a completely blank form results in me getting an email
with blank response fields.
Can you take a look at this code and tell me if it should be allowing blank
fields to be submitted? Are there any changes that can be made? Code:

I have a form field on an ASP page and was wondering if I can require the number that is entered to begin with a 0 or a 2.If the number starts with anything else,the user is notified to update the number correctly(Your [FormField] must begin with a 0 or a 2, Please update your entry).

Alright what I need to be able to do is to make the field it's maxlength if the user does not enter enough characters.
<input type="hidden" name="B" size="10" maxlength="6" value="">
so basicly if the user enters a 5, 4, 3, or 2 digit number the input will be forced to it's maxlength. I need this because I am writing to an SQL db and am combining multiple form inputs into one field in the db table ie(variable = A&B&C&D)
On a different webpage I need to display the variables. I am doing this by string manipulation functions like the one below.
Nbr = mid(aTable1Values(DATA, aRowLoop), 6, 6)
(DATA = A&B&C&D)

I have a problem. Of course, or I wouldn't be posting here. Ok, now that Mr. Obvious is out of the way ...
I'm looking for some ideas. Take a look at the code below. I'm looking for the most efficient way to validate form field input on the server-side. I'll provide what I have. What I'm looking for are improvements.

dim str_Customer_Zip
str_Customer_Email= Request.Form("email")
str_Customer_Phone= Request.Form("phone")
str_Customer_Name= Request.Form("name")
str_Customer_Zip= Request.Form("zip")
if not (Validate_Input(str_Customer_Email,"EMAIL_ADDRESS")) then response.write ("error")
if not (Validate_Input(str_Customer_Phone,"US_PHONE")) then response.write ("error")
if not (Validate_Input(str_Customer_Name,"NAME")) then response.write ("error")
if not (Validate_Input(str_Customer_Zip,"ZIP")) then response.write ("error")
response.end
%>
Now, I'll obviously want to do more than write "error" to the screen with the validated input. What I *really* want ideas on is a more efficient way to validate the fields. In this small example doing them as one-offs isn't bad. On a form that has 20-30 fields it becomes cumbersome.

I am trying to pass a hidden field value on a form into another field on the
form so that it can then be inserted in the database, to enable me then to
reference that number at a later date.
(The hidden value (1 for example) would then automatically get passed to the
other input field.)
The code for the text field that allows users to type an number into it for
submission to the db is below, but what code do i need within the hidden
field to populate this text field below so that users do not have to type the
number in? Code:

I'm looking for a script or direction to help to find a script (maybe java?) that will validate an email based on comparing it to another email text field. So when one enters an email and then "confirm email. The two entries must match. This form is .asp. This should be client side validation and not through my server.

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?

On contact, order, recommend a friend page etc. I run a JavaScript that checks that all the required information has been entered into the form, and it will stop the ASP script executing until you change the incorrect information and Submit the form again. With this script, there is a function that checks the email address and tells you if the address is not valid. (i.e. If the address doesn't have an @ sign).
I put this script to work, and found that many people were turning off JavaScript, filling the form in (and now obviously enter XXXXX) into the email address field and then sending the form that way.
As a safety net, the ASP application that sends me an email checks that fields are not blank, but I don't know how (or whether) you can check to see if the email address is valid.

I have a form that is created dynamically from a recordset, this creates a line for each record together with 2 checkboxes, Yes & No so the source output would be something like this:
<p>Please indicate whether you still use each piece of software detailed below:</p>
<form name="apps" method="POST" action="MyAction.asp">
<table width="600" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr bgcolor="#9999FF">

<td><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>Required?</strong></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Adobe Photoshop 7.0 7.0</td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="Yes" value="Adobe Photoshop 7.0 7.0">
Yes
<input type="checkbox" name="No" value="Adobe Photoshop 7.0 7.0">
No </td>
</tr>

<td>Citrix ICA Client</td>

<input type="checkbox" name="No" value="Macromedia Dreamweaver MX
6.0">
No </td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
And so on......
I want to ensure that either Yes or No has been checked for each line before the form can be submitted, can this be done in asp? The amount of lines in the form will vary.

I am working on a script in asp (new to asp, 99% php) and I would like to validate the data (no problem) and then repopulate the data in the table that passed validation, spit out error message for bad data, and leave those areas blank, without using javascript.
I had no problem doing this in the past with php (they have more and better array methods in my opinion) but I am struggling with how to do this in asp.
Has someone done this before? If so, could you share the logic on this?
Scenerio: two fields, one validates, one doesn't, show the form with first name given and last name blank while displaying reason for last name error. I understand the scenrio, but I can't make it work in asp???

First off wanted to that all that replied to my previous questions, you were much help.Had a couple of general questions.Why has everyone suggested not using VB Script on the Client Side?
Secondly, I have decided to do my validation on the processing page.If a field on the form does not meet the validation rules, I am able to redirect back to the sending page. How do I do this so that the sending page retains the values that the Client had previously put in so that he only needs to correct the fields that are not valid?

Within FCK Editor is there any way of doing form validation?
For example
You create a form and want to add two text fields and a submit button.
At the moment i guess the only way to do is editing the html, does anyone have any good solutions that overcome this problem.
I guess one could add a checkbox when adding the textbox that says validation but not sure how one would go about actually get this validation to work.

I have a page containing a basic form in asp. When the form is completed the information is passed to another asp file which generates an email and sends it to me. For example,
Joe Bloggs fills in the form requesting information. When he hits Submit the information is sent to me on email.
I have included form validation to catch any uncompleted form fields and prompt the user for information. But when i try and submit an empty form my validation is ignored and the form is submitted sending the email to me with no information.
I know the validation is correct because when i remove the Form Action property the validation works fine.

I am trying to update a database via a Front End Application (Web Based). My problem is that I have to do some validation before updating the database.I have to check that if a dropdownlist (main) SelectedItems is not empty that all related textboxes (2) and another dropdownlist (secondary) has some data in it, or the other way round, that if any of the text boxes and the dropdownlist (secondary) contains data that all the related controls are also not empty.
My current Front End is an Excel Form and I am using the TAG properties to do validation.

This 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?
