I have a form. I have made it so that if your name is not put in, a red
border is put on the name field. That works, BUT...it's for a split second, and then the page reloads. I want the red
border to appear, and then stay there. For some reason it's for a split second. Can someone help me make it so the page doesn't reload after displaying the red border?
Here's the script.
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("Hogwarts").onsubmit = function ()
{
window.alert("Form submitted. Owl being sent...");
var fname = document.getElementById("fName");
if(!fName.value.match("^[A-Z][A-Za-z]+( [A-Z][A-Za-z]*)*$"))
{
window.alert("You must enter your name.");
addClass(fName, "errorDisp");
document.getElementById("fName").focus();
}
else
return true;
}
}
function addClass(element, classToAdd)
{
var currentClassValue = element.className;
if (currentClassValue.indexOf(classToAdd) == -1) {
if ((currentClassValue == null) || (currentClassValue === "")) {
element.className = classToAdd;
} else {
element.className += " " + classToAdd;
}
}
}
function removeClass(element, classToRemove)
{
var currentClassValue = element.className;
if (currentClassValue == classToRemove) {
element.className = "";
return;
}
var classValues = currentClassValue.split(" ");
var filteredList = [];
for (var i = 0 ; i < classValues.length; i++) {
if (classToRemove != classValues[i]) {
filteredList.push(classValues[i]);
}
}
element.className = filteredList.join(" ");
}
