Form Validation using JavaScript Functions

The input forms I’ve created have data elements whose validation seems to fall into categories that will be repeated across a number of forms.

Form validation on client side ?

MDN has a great one pager on this, lots of worthwhile stuff to know regarding some useful specs around it.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Form_validation

Everyone ends up writing their own validation for some reason, I'd recommend leveraging the specs and existing libraries to save you the headache, unless it's to learn.

JavaScript Form validation tutorial For beginners (** Link in 1st Comment)

It looks good overall, but you are missing a few accessibility measures:

  1. The inputs should have the required attribute. Plus if you are using your own inline errors, you should put novalidate on the form.

  2. There should be dynamic focus management on the first invalid input.

  3. The inline error should be connected to the input with aria-describedby.

  4. Bonus points if you use role="alert" and aria-live="assertive" to immediately notify the screen reader user.

  5. This is opinionated: the inline error should be removed on change and focusout. That will match the UI of default HTML5 form validation.

Using HTML form validation and the Constraint Validation API - HTML | MDN
HTML5 introduced new mechanisms for forms: it added new semantic types for the <input> element and constraint validation to ease the work of checking the form content on the client side. Basic, usual constraints can be checked, without the need for JavaScript, by setting new attributes; more complex constraints can be tested using the Constraint Validation API.

March 6, 2020 - Inside validateForm(), you’re checking if name and select equal to a string containing exactly one space; you’ll probably check if they are empty instead · Always use the strict === equality comparison, as the loose == comparison can lead to rather unexpected results · As already suggested in your other threads related to form validation, better use the built-in constraint validation from the first; basically you only need to add a required attribute to your select and you’re done.

February 27, 2024 - Each type of data has specific formats and criteria that need to be met, such as length, characters allowed, and the format of the entry (like an email address having an “@” symbol and a domain). Providing user feedback for invalid input can be done by utilizing the built-in browser tooltip that appears when the data entered does not comply with the validation rules. For a more customized approach, JavaScript can be used to display error messages next to the relevant input field or in a designated area of the form.

Now we will see how we can validate our entered form data before submitting it to the web server. The following example shows how to validate an entered email address. An email address must contain at least a &commat; sign and a dot (.). Also, the &commat; must not be the first character of the email address, and the last dot must at least be one character after the &commat; sign. Try the following code for email validation. <script type = "text/javascript"> function validateEmail() { var emailID = document.myForm.EMail.value; atpos = emailID.indexOf("@"); dotpos = emailID.lastIndexOf("."); if (atpos < 1 || ( dotpos - atpos < 2 )) { alert("Please enter correct email ID") document.myForm.EMail.focus() ; return false; } return( true ); } </script>
