Hi everyone, I'm having trouble trying to get javascript running on a form in addtion to a servlet. Its a login form, I would like to check if the fields have been filled in, prompting the user if they have not. Once both fields are completed the action will call a controller servlet that will the rest of the work. Currently when i define in the jsp | <form name="login_form" method="post" onsubmit="return validate_form()" action="Controller"> | <input type="hidden" name="action" value="login"/> | | <table cellSpacing="3" cellPadding="0" border="0" style="border: medium none" id="loginTable"> | <tr> | <td class="smallheaderfont"> | <label for="login_username" style="cursor: default">User Name</label> | </td> | <td class="inputfieldfont"> | <input class="bginput" id="login_username" style="FONT-SIZE: 11px" onfocus="" accessKey="u" tabIndex="1" size="10" name="username_output"> | </td> | </tr> | <tr> | <td class="smallheaderfont"> | <label for="login_password" style="cursor: default">Password</label> | </td> | <td class="inputfieldfont"> | <input class="bginput" id="login_password" style="FONT-SIZE: 11px" onfocus="" accessKey="u" tabIndex="2" size="10" name="password_output"> | </td> | </tr> | <tr> | <td></td> | <td class="inputfieldfont"> | <input class="button" accessKey="s" tabIndex="104" type="submit" value="Log in" align= "right"> | </td> | </tr> | </table> | </form> | The javascript function is basic: | <script type="text/javascript"> | | function validate_form ( ) | { | valid = true; | | if ( document.login_form.username_output.value == "" ) | { | alert ( "Please fill in the 'User Name' field." ); | /*document.register_form.firstname_output.value.focus();*/ | valid = false; | } | if ( document.login_form.password_output.value == "" ) | { | alert ( "Please fill in the 'Password' field." ); | /*document.register_form.lastname_output.value.focus();*/ | valid = false; | } | | if(valid){ | return true; | }else{ | return false; | } | } | </script> | I think its more of an issue of how to define the servlet action after the javascript in the form definition. I have asked this question in javascript forums. p.s. sorry about the formatting. If you could help i would appreciate it. Thanks, Alyssa.
