Email Form Validation

[whoknows361]

Hello all - been awhile.

I have searched this forum, but have not found a suitable answer to my needs.. hope you can help.

I have the following text fields in a form:
form.Sname.
form.Semail
form.Sphone
form.Salt
form.Smodel
form.Sserial
form.Sdescription

i want to add validation in the following:
for Sname, Smodel, Sserial, & Sdescription I want to ensure that the fields are not null.

For Sphone & Salt, I want to ensure that they are a phone number.
For Semail, I want to ensure that this is an email address.

If there is an erroneous entry, then I have a dynamic tb set up called "error_box"..

What would this code look like? I have seen many examples, but they don't seem to work when I try them, or are not specific to my usage.
I appreciate all help provided.

J.

To check if the field is empty you can check [tt]TextField.text.length[/tt] is not [tt]0[/tt]; however this won't check against " " (empty strings).

Email address & phone numbers are checked usually using ReqExp. ReqExp will solve the problem above too. But it is only available for AS3.

If you are using AS1/2 you can either check them using RegExp with client side Javascript or at the server side (PHP etc).
