now is this going to be done on page or doing a post to the server? Doing it on page in classic ASP is called javascript. On the server just requires a post to the server and a return will post validation. Which one do you require?

Well do this:

<form id="frmacts2" name="frmacts2" action="<%= Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") %>" method="post">

Then have a hidden input field to let you know you're on your current page (not necessary as you can use request.form, but I would recommend it). If you use a hidden input, set the value to a unique value that you can reference. Then do something like:

<%
Dim strErrors, intErrCount
strErrors = "<font color=""red"">Please fill out the following fields:<br /><ul>"
intErrCount = 0

if (Trim(Request.Form("inputhidden"))) = "verifyfirst" then
  if (Trim(Request.Form("cboGpOwner"))) = "0" and (Trim(Request.Form("txtLpId"))).length < 1 then
    intErrCount = intErrCount + 1
    strErrors = "<li>Please enter a security id or choose an owner from the list.</li>"
  end if
  if intErrCount < 1 then
  response.redirect("acts2.asp?L1=home&amp;L2=limpart&amp;L3=" & (Trim(Request.Form("txtLpId"))) & (Trim(Request.Form("cboGpOwner"))))
  else
    strErrors = strErrors & "</ul></font>"
  end if
end if
%>

Now where you want your error to display, put:
<%= strErrors %>

This code can be modified since you only really have one field to verify. You can eliminate the UL and LI terms for a bulleted list and just put the error code "Please fill out a security id or choose an owner from the list." But you should reference this code for validation that requires more than one field!

That is done through javascript. ASP is done clientside. ASP.NET has validation controls done client-side, but this is Classic ASP.

If you wish to do it clientside, you need javascript. A sample of this would be:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript>
function btnSubmitValidation() {
  var secCode = document.getElementById("txtLpId");
  var ownerList = document.getElementById("cboGpOwner");

  if (secCode.value.length < 1 && ownerList.value == 0) {
    //Now you can set either a div to display the data
    //Or you can use an alert to show a popup alert
    alert('You must fill out a security id or choose an owner from the list before continuing!');
    //Put a div on the page with the following ID: errDiv
    //And uncomment next line to set a div's element/value
    //document.getElementById("errDiv").innerHTML = '<div style="color:#FF0000;">Please fill in the security code or choose an owner.</div>'
    return false;
  }
  
  return true;
}
</script>

I'm sorry, I really don't know what your problem is. Can you let me know of the error you're getting?

Got ya. Here:

Function BtnSubmitValidation

  Dim strL, strA, strS
  strL = Trim(document.acts2.txtLpId.value)
  strO = Trim(document.acts2.cboGpOwner.value)

  If Len(strL) > 0 And Len(strL) < 5 And strO = 0 Then
    Msgbox "Security Number must be five characters in length.", , "Input Validation"
    document.acts2.txtLpId.focus
    BtnSubmitValidation = False
  Elseif Len(strL) = 0 And strO = 0 Then
    Msgbox "Please type in a Security Number or choose from the Owner List.", , "Input Validation"
    document.acts2.txtLpId.focus
    BtnSubmitValidation = False
  Elseif Len(strL) > 0 And strO <> "0"
    Msgbox "You cannot use both, Security Number and Owner List.", , "Input Validation"
    document.acts2.txtLpId.focus
    BtnSubmitValidation = False
  Else
    show_busy
    BtnSubmitValidation = True
  End If

End Function

Now this will do both of them and give these results:
1. if Security ID text box has any value with characters less than 5 and no choice was chosen on the owner list, then "Security Number must be five characters in length."
2. if Security ID text box has no value and no owner was chosen from the list, "Please type in a Security Number or choose from the Owner List."
3. if both a Security ID and a owner was chosen, "You cannot use both, Security Number and Owner List."

I would remove number 3 and if both are chosen, take the security id over the owner list. However, if you do this, remove number 3 and remove the strO from the first part of the if statement (change the first part of the if statement to):

If Len(strL) > 0 And Len(strL) < 5 Then

It's going to post to server, this is written strictly for vbscript:
Here's my code:
<form id="frmacts2" name="frmacts2" action="acts2.asp?L1=home&L2=limpart&L3=" method="post">

dweaver6 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 2 · 2008-01-22T21:50:35+00:00

So, are saying that I shouldn't try to validate the fields upon entry - client-side?

</script>

Thanks for helping so far , I really didnt mean to say client-side, when i on-click btnsubmit();
the code is
Function BtnSubmitValidation

Dim strL
Dim strA
Dim strS
document.acts2.txtLpId.value = Trim(document.acts2.txtLpId.value)
strL = document.acts2.txtLpId.value
If Len(strL) > 0 _
And Len(strL) < 5 Then
Msgbox "Security Number must be five characters in length.", , "Input Validation"
document.acts2.txtLpId.focus
BtnSubmitValidation = False
Exit Function
Elseif Len(strL) = 0 Then
Msgbox "Security Number cannot be blank.", , "Input Validation"
document.acts2.txtLpId.focus
BtnSubmitValidation = False
Exit Function
End If

show_busy
BtnSubmitValidation = True

End Function

I'm not getting an error I just wanted to have 1 submit button instead of 2 to validate a users chioce and then submit that value to the db for processing the report output.

I somewhat follow your original instructions for post = request.variable("SCRIPT-NAME")
but what goes in the inputhidden - I carried the txtinput value, but I hadn't determined the cboGpOwner value yet,,,that's were I had my problem

How to use 1 submit button to enter users choice after they've made their selection either

txtinput = checkbox or cboGpOwner = combobox drop select?

dweaver6 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 5 · 2008-01-22T23:32:12+00:00

My 1st line is OK .
Here's the input validation respone if txtinput is clicked:
<input id="txtClicked" NAME="txtClicked" MAXLENGTH="6" style="WIDTH: 0px; COLOR: #000000; HEIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #c9c9c9; TEXT-ALIGN: left" readonly></td>

Here's the onclick cbobtnValidation if combo.item selected :
<td align="middle"><input style="FONT-WEIGHT: bolder; WIDTH: 78px; COLOR: white; HEIGHT: 24px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #7e7ec9" type="submit" value="Submit" name="btncboSubmit" id ="Submit1" onmouseover ="this.style.backgroundColor = '#be6572'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor = '#7e7ec9' "onclick="return cboGpOwnerValidation(); frmLpContacts3.submit(strglpid);"></td>

Is there a way to only have 1 submit?

SheSaidImaPregy 28 Veteran Poster · Answer 6 · 2008-01-22T23:44:25+00:00

yes, just remove the extra submit buttons and only keep one with an onclick of "return cboGpOwnerValidation()" or rename the function to whatever you wish. It is already set up, just make only one button and set the name to whatever you wish.

dweaver6 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 7 · 2008-01-23T00:53:21+00:00

Sorry I put the wrong text in for btnSubmitValidation...so your saying get rid of it(btnSsubmitValidation) and do this next, If strL > 0 or <5 and strs > 0 do this , then post to server with the value based on hidden field = true.....

SheSaidImaPregy 28 Veteran Poster · Answer 8 · 2008-01-23T01:49:26+00:00

just post your entire code, in code blocks [ code ][/ code ] but without the spaces inside those tags. I will fix it and post it for you!

Okay, the only things you need to do are to add the btnSubmitValidation function that I gave you before, get rid of or comment out the first submit button after security ID, then change the onclick of the second submit button to "return btnSubmitValidation()"

Here is the code, and what is highlighted was changed.

Thanks , the only issue is if strO = 0 then msgbox response should be : Owner can not be blank and if strL > 0 and strL < 5 then msgbox = security can not be < 5 characters....

SheSaidImaPregy 28 Veteran Poster · Answer 12 · 2008-01-23T04:05:35+00:00

Question:
How is this handled, are both fields required or just one, like either security ID or owner?

If only one of the two are required, I am sure you would like the security ID over the owner. The problem that you face with this is that you can only ask for one. strO will always = zero as long as strL has text. If strL doesn't have text, then strO can be changed. There's your dilema. If strL has no text, then you get an error, therefore strO is a secondary optional path.

Now, are both required, both allowed, or only one can be used? If both are required, then I'll redo the function for you. Otherwise, I believe it's the only way it can be.

i will change the value for strL = -1, that way the condition can be met using the btnSubmitValidation () you've given , only 1 field is required to populate the report. Will try Thanks again...
