I could submit a form and validate it using a simple anonymous function in javascript as,
document.getElementById('myForm').onsubmit = function() {
if(document.getElementById('email').value == "") {
document.getElementById('errormessage').innerHTML = "Please provide at least an email address";
return false;
} else {
return true; // Note this
}
};
In the example above using anonymous function, I could simply assign the return value when the document is submitted and prevent the page from being submitted while in the example below I use addEventListener
to add event when the form is submitted and it is further evaluated by validate function. I have also placed the return value to be true or false but this approach does not seem to work and the page gets submitted. I think I am wrong in returning the value
function addEventHandler(node, evt, func) {
if(node.addEventListener)
node.addEventListener(evt, func);
else
node.attachEvent("on" + evt, func);
}
function initializeAll() {
addEventHandler(document.getElementById('myform'), 'submit', validate);
}
function validate() {
if(document.getElementById('email').value == ""){
document.getElementById("errormessage").innerHTML = "Please provide at least an email ";
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
addEventHandler(window, 'load', initializeAll);
How should I return value this way so as to prevent the form from submitting or submitting the form?
You posted this question under jQuery, so I'll throw out a jQuery solution for ya:
$('#myform').on('submit', function () {
if($('#email').val() == ""){
$('#errormessage').html("Please provide at least an email ");
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
});
Note that I used the jQuery 1.7 .on()
function which in this case replaces the .bind()
function of earlier versions.
--Update--
Here is a jsfiddle of the above solution: http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/LmaYk/
I think your problem occurs because you are using the DOM Level 2 Event Registraton with addEventListener , so you can use event.preventDefault()
for Firefox and event.returnValue=false
to other browsers. Try with this demo:
用这样的东西
<form ...... onsubmit="return your validationFunctionThatReturnTruOrFalse() " >
