Form Validation/Submit Button

Topic

New Reply

I have an asp page creating a form for a user to change their login password (changepassword.asp).
After entering the current password and the new password twice, I want the submit button to validate the password for our requirements before submitting the data to the processing page (updatepassword.asp).

When I click the button on changepassword.asp, nothing happens.
Am I incorrectly setting up the validation?

ASP CODE in attached file:

This may not be an option for you, but have you considered using client-side Javascript to validate? I usually validate client-side stuff with Javascript due to higher compatibility.

Post back if you need a hand with the javascript validation code…

Are you trying to embed the OnClick procedure into the page send to the client? If so, take off the ASP script tags and use regular client-side script tags. Otherwise, you have to use the arduous Response.Write method.

I have the following code before the tag:

The sub procedure code performing the validation occurs after the tag.
<%
Sub ChangePwdButton_OnClick()
If fChangePwd.CurrentPasswordSession(“vPwd”) then
‘Alert “Either you are not logged in, or your login has expired. You must log in again.”
Response.Redirect “/memberlogin.htm”
Exit Sub
End If

If len(fChangePwd.NewPassword.Value)7 then
‘Alert “Your password must be 7 characters/digits long.”
fChangePwd.NewPassword.focus
Exit Sub
end if

If InStr(1,fChangePwd.NewPassword.Value,”0123456789″) = 0 then
‘Alert “Your password must contain at least one (1) digit.”
fChangePwd.NewPassword.focus
Exit Sub
end if

If fChangePwd.NewPassword.Value fChangePwd.NewPasswordVerification.Value then
‘Alert “Your did not re-enter the same password. Try again!”
fChangePwd.NewPassword.focus
Exit Sub
end if

Call fChangePwd.submit()
End Sub
%>

If you read < % to mean the same thing as <SCRIPT RunAt=Server I think you will see what I am saying. Server-side code does not end up in the page served to the user's browser.

I could be wrong

Now…only IE runs VBScript, so if you don’t have control over the browser used to view your page, you might have to recode it in JavaScript.

[/indent]Of course, you could start using the .NET framework where the Browser is sniffed by internal code and the appropriate code is automatically sent by the server… (Not to mention the mixed client/server validation setup.)

ASP.NET is a new and exciting world!

Yes, that helped.
I’m recoding the function into JavaScript.
