Users able to submit form without input

I use FrontPage 2000, and I have created a registration form. I've tried everything I can think of, but users are still able to submit the form without inputting anything (ie, all fields are blank). This is messing up the system, because the results of the registration form are sent to an Excel spreadsheet, which the client uses to keep track of registrations.

I've edited every field and supposedly made input "required" but it's still not working. Any ideas?

When I looked at my html code, I couldn't figure out how to do what you've suggested. Again, I'm using FrontPage 2000, and there's a lot of code in there, webbots and stuff, and it looks totally different than what you posted. Here's what I have:


<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=windows-1252&quot;>
<meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Language&quot; content=&quot;en-us&quot;>
<title>NFPA Online Standards Registration Form</title>
<meta name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot; content=&quot;Microsoft FrontPage 4.0&quot;>
<meta name=&quot;ProgId&quot; content=&quot;FrontPage.Editor.Document&quot;>

<style>
.menulines{
border:1px solid white;
}

.menulines a{
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
}
</style>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript1.2&quot;>

/*

function borderize(what,color){
what.style.borderColor=color
}

function borderize_on(e){
if (document.all)
source3=event.srcElement
else if (document.getElementById)
source3=e.target
if (source3.className==&quot;menulines&quot;){
borderize(source3,&quot;3366CC&quot;)
}
else{
while(source3.tagName!=&quot;TABLE&quot;){
source3=document.getElementById? source3.parentNode : source3.parentElement
if (source3.className==&quot;menulines&quot;)
borderize(source3,&quot;3366CC&quot;)
}
}
}

function borderize_off(e){
if (document.all)
source4=event.srcElement
else if (document.getElementById)
source4=e.target
if (source4.className==&quot;menulines&quot;)
borderize(source4,&quot;white&quot;)
else{
while(source4.tagName!=&quot;TABLE&quot;){
source4=document.getElementById? source4.parentNode : source4.parentElement

I'm not very practical with fronpage and its self things, but as far as i've understood from your code, we are both confused ... :)

Anyway, a couple of things :
1. You have declared 2 forms, I think the first one should be deleted fromthe code
2. Put the javascript code

function checkvalues(){
var ok=true;
if (document.all||document.getElementById){
for (i=0;i<FrontPage_Form2.length;i++){
var tempobj=FrontPage_Form2.elements;
if (tempobj.value == &quot;&quot; && tempobj.type.toLowerCase()!=&quot;submit&quot; && tempobj.type.toLowerCase()!=&quot;hidden&quot; && tempobj.type.toLowerCase()!=&quot;button&quot;) {
ok=false;
}
}
}
if (ok==true)
{
return true;
}
else {
alert('Fill all Fields !!');
return false;
}
}

in your <HEAD> section (below the others js snippets)

3. form onsubmit = &quot;return checkvalues();&quot;

It should works, even if I do not know what will happen next...

My suggestion is to forget about all FrontPage special dialects and just hard code the normal way..

If you need a more 'in depth' validator, try this link :

Didn't read all the code, but I noticed that your Submit button is of type &quot;submit&quot;. I've had problems where my forms would submit even if they failed the Javascript validation; to fix this I changed the input type of the button from &quot;submit&quot; to &quot;button&quot; then had Javascript call the form submit if all the validation was passed.

Forgot to mention, if you change the input type to button, you need to call the function that validates the form on the button's click event.

So instead of what you have:
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; name=&quot;B3&quot;>

You would have:
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; name=&quot;B3&quot; onClick=&quot;checkValues()&quot;>

Then, at the end of the JS function, if all the validation tests passed, you'd add:

document.forms[0].submit();

Hope this helps.
