Free Form Validation Javascript

This (X)HTML and javascript will validate whether a field has been filled in to a specified length.

The form below is an example of the form. Leave a field empty and click the submit button and an alert box will be displayed telling the user to fill out the empty field.

Name:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function validate() { if (document.formname.name.value.length < 1) { alert("Please enter your name"); return false; } if (document.formname.email.value.length < 1) { alert("Please enter your email") return false; } return true; } </script> <form action="yourscript.php" method="POST" name="formname" onSubmit="return validate();" enctype="text/plain"> Name: <input type="text" name="name" /> <br /> Email: <input type="text" name="email" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" /> </form> <p style="font-size:.4em;"><a href="http://webdevelopmenttutorials.com/">free javascripts</a></p>
