[phplib] PHPLIB suggestion for FORM elements & validation From: Jens Benecke (phplib <email protected>)
Date: 10/16/00

Hi,

for now, if I use the Javascript validation function in the PHPLIB
oohforms class, the code looks like this:

        if (window.RegExp) {
          var reg = new RegExp("^.+$","g");
          if (!reg.test(f.elements[0].value)) {
            alert("You did not enter any text!");
            f.elements[0].focus();
            return(false);
          }
        }

Would it be possible to change this to read "f.$form_element_name.value",
e.g. f.address.value for an input field that is called "address"? I am
asking this because I found out that some browsers mix up the order of form
elements when they are in HTML table structures. E.g. if I have a 2x2 table
with four input fields like

        Name1: [_____________] Name2: [_____________]
        Name3: [_____________] Name4: [_____________]

on Linux Netscape 4.75 the browser would first check and focus Name1, then
check Name3 but jump to Name2, and not mention Name4 at all. All form
elements are defined identically.

I looked into the oohforms.inc but could not really find a starting point.
I'd be happy if someone pointed me in the right direction. :)

Thanks!
