I have made changes and the form validation works but not 100% yet, I have a
CFFile field that will allow users to upload ".pdf",".jpg",".gif" files, and
the validation that is included with the script does not seem to picking up
the following...........
1.) That there is an incorrect file format trying to be uploaded, when only
pdf, jpg and gif files should be allowe to be uploaded.
2.) The form can still be submitted when the CFFile field is blank, but it
is required to have a value
I have been trying since the previous posts, tweaking the code to try to
come up with a solution but with no success so would value a second opinion
from you
very much
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function checkFields() {
foundExt = true;
missinginfo = "";
if (document.form.dltitle.value == "") {
missinginfo += "\n - Title of the File Uploaded";
}
if (document.form.dlsummary.value == "") {
missinginfo += "\n - Descriptive Summary of Uploaded File";
}
if (document.form.area.selectedIndex == 0 ||
document.form.area.selectedIndex == 1)
missinginfo += "\n - Please select File Category";
if (document.form.dlos.selectedIndex == 0 ||
document.form.dlos.selectedIndex == 1)
missinginfo += "\n - Please select an operating system";
///START UPLOAD CODE
if (document.form.UploadFile.value != "") {
lcVal = document.form.UploadFile.value.toLowerCase();
foundExt = false;
ext = new
Array(".pdf",".jpg",".gif");
for (i=0; i<ext.length; i++) {
if (lcVal.indexOf(ext[i]) >= 0) {
foundExt = true;
}
}
if (!foundExt) {
alert("Only upload files that end in "
+ (extArray.join(" ")) + ".\n\nPlease select a new "
+ "file to upload and try again.");
}
}
///END UPLOAD CODE
if (missinginfo != "") {
missinginfo ="_____________________________\n" +
"You failed to correctly fill in your:\n" +
missinginfo + "\n_____________________________" +
"\nPlease re-enter the required details and submit again!";
alert(missinginfo);
return false;
}
if (missinginfo == "" && foundExt) {
submit_form('Form', 'content'); ///here 'tis
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
// End -->
