Need help with form submission

Expand Post »

Hello,
I am designing my website and I want people visiting my site to be able to submit a form. However, if they submit a form, I would like to require certain information to be submitted. I got a script from Dynamic Drive that is supposed to do that but here is the problem. Inside the form tag it has this code-"form name="formcheck" onsubmit="return formCheck(this); " As you can see, there is not a "Action" or "Method" shown. So can someone tell me what I will need to do to cause this script, if form validation occurs, to send me the info from form in an E-Mail.
Thank you.

Re: Need help with form submission

That might depend on whether u are running client or server side script, coz what I know is, u use the action attribute when u want to run a servicing program when the user submits the form on web server, so what u actually do is have the ff code action="The name of ur servicing program

Re: Need help with form submission

Hey

HTML Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<form name="formcheck" onsubmit="return formCheck(this);">
<form name="formcheck" onsubmit="return formCheck(this);">

that means when form is submitted javascript function: formCheck(this) function is called.

In this function all the validation should be done before sending it to server.

Re: Need help with form submission

As Luckychap has mentioned, validations should be done in the function formCheck. If you have an action specified (eg. action="test.php"), it will then go to the test.php if formCheck returns true. If the function returns false, it will remain in the same page.

Can you provide additional code for your form?
