Contact Forms Html

Morristown · #**1 Contact Forms Html** 06-28-2007, 04:25 PM

Hi Guys,

I am trying to change my contact form so that the Name and E-mail box are required fields, Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Here is where the contact form is:

Thank you for your help.

If you don't want to mess with your php script, the easiest way is with a javascript alert.

Add this to your head tag:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function validateForm() {
with (document.contact) {
var alertMsg = "The following required fields have been left empty:\n";
if ( visitor.value == "" ) alertMsg += "\nYour Name";
if (visitormail.value == "") alertMsg += "\nYour Email Adress";
if (alertMsg != "The following required fields have been left empty:\n") {
alert(alertMsg);
return false;
} else {
return true;
} } }
// -->
</script>

Change your form tag like so:

Code:

<form method="post" action="sendeail.php" name="contact" onSubmit="return validateForm()>

but if I disable JS, I can send you a lot of emails without check.
It's better to check your fields in both PHP && JS to avoid spam bots.
