First of all, I've examined http://www.ozzu.com/programming-forum/perl-help-validating-more-than-one-field-t25433.html which deals with this somewhat, but I haven't had luck yet. Possibly this solution will work for me but I've had trouble thus far. I'm open to using Java but this particular page currently has none.

Here is my code:

<font size="-1">CHOOSE FROM CURRENT AND FORTHCOMING TITLES:</font>
</font></font></b></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top" width="44" bgcolor="#000090" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<input type="checkbox" name="al3" value="al3"><br>
<b><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><font color="#ffffff">
<font size="-1">&nbsp;Order</font></font></font></b></td>
<td width="357"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><font size="-1">
<a href="active3.html">THE ACTIVE LEARNER: SUCCESSFUL STUDY STRATEGIES, 3rd ed.</a>
</font></font></b></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top" width="44" bgcolor="#000090" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<input type="checkbox" name="dcj2" value="dcj2"><br>
<b><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><font color="#ffffff">
<font size="-1">Order</font></font></font></b></td>
<td width="357"><b><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><font size="-1">
<a href="roxdictionary2.html">THE AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE: KEY TERMS AND MAJOR COURT CASES, 2nd ed.</a>
</font></font></b></td></tr>


and then it goes on for about 100 books like this.

The point is we have people who check NO books and the form succesfully sends an essentially useless email to us. I'm open to using an entirely different script as long as it has this capability. Basically, we want to be sent a list of information about the user (with many required fields) and then have them check which titles they want (at least one required).

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Chris

hey,
Below is an example I created for a class I taught a few months ago to some of the IT programmers here who were interested in learning basic web development. I included a number of comments, hopefully they will suffice to help you adapt this to your form. Let me know if you have any questions.

Code: [ Select ]

Here's a isNumeric JavaScript function. I've posted it before, on Ozzu, but you might find it useful:

Code: [ Select ]
function isNumeric(input){
 characters = "0123456789.";
 response = true;
 for(i=0;(i<input.length && response);i++){
  if(characters.indexOf(input.charAt(i)) == -1){ response = false; }
 }
 return response;
}
  1. function isNumeric(input){
  2.  characters = "0123456789.";
  3.  response = true;
  4.  for(i=0;(i<input.length && response);i++){
  5.   if(characters.indexOf(input.charAt(i)) == -1){ response = false; }
  6.  }
  7.  return response;
  8. }

Oh yeah.... this would, of course, require JavaScript to be enabled. If that will post a significant problem, you should also look into editing your server-side script that processes the form submisstion.

However, most people competent enough to disable JavaScript are probably also saavy enough to realize they need to fill in an order before submitting it...

Carnix,

Thanks for your reply, this is important.

I see much of value in your post, but I'm not sure where the solution lies. I see where it rejects blank posts and improper syntax (in what would be an appropriate way) but can this be applied to checkboxes?

It would be like requiring a user to check at LEAST one box in the "Information Request" field of your form. In my case, there are around 100 boxes but often users check none (multiple checks are allowed and okay).

mm. I think that isn't a problem... let me think on it. Also.. I think I posted an old version of that script (if you click the button twice,it doubles the output.... oops). I'll revise and repost.

Thanks so much for your help! I'm definitely getting it to reject empty requests but now I'm having trouble getting it to communicate with the old formmail program. To be sure, a lesser problem but the old formmail inserted a subject and header into the email, which is helpful. I've tried countless variations to basically preserve the previous behavior while still utilizing your helpful java code, but the two don't seem to work together.

Here's my code thus far (minus most of the books):

That's strange, the javascript shouldn't affect the HTTP at all. Are you sure, when you added the script, that you didn't remove any hidden fields that might have been in the form? Some mail processors use a hidden field in the HTML to hold the from and subject lines. I, personaly, think that's a terrible idea, since it leaves your mailproc open to use by a spoofer... but nevertheless...

Do you have access to the Perl file? If so, see if you can backtrack the logic and see where it's supposed to be getting the header and subject line from.

Here's the perl code if import:

Code: [ Select ]


sub send_mail {
  # Localize variables used in this subroutine.              #
  local($print_config,$key,$sort_order,$sorted_field,$env_report);

  # Open The Mail Program
  open(MAIL,"|$mailprog");

  print MAIL "To: $Config{'recipient'}\n";
  print MAIL "From: $Config{'email'} ($Config{'realname'})\n";

  # Check for Message Subject
  if ($Config{'subject'}) { print MAIL "Subject: $Config{'subject'}\n\n" }
  else          { print MAIL "Subject: WWW Form Submission\n\n" }

  print MAIL "Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by\n";
  print MAIL "$Config{'realname'} ($Config{'email'}) on $date\n";
  print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";

  if (@Print_Config) {
    foreach $print_config (@Print_Config) {
      if ($Config{$print_config}) {
        print MAIL "$print_config: $Config{$print_config}\n\n";
      }
    }
  }
  3. sub send_mail {
  4.   # Localize variables used in this subroutine.              #
  5.   local($print_config,$key,$sort_order,$sorted_field,$env_report);
  7.   # Open The Mail Program
  8.   open(MAIL,"|$mailprog");
  10.   print MAIL "To: $Config{'recipient'}\n";
  11.   print MAIL "From: $Config{'email'} ($Config{'realname'})\n";
  13.   # Check for Message Subject
  14.   if ($Config{'subject'}) { print MAIL "Subject: $Config{'subject'}\n\n" }
  15.   else          { print MAIL "Subject: WWW Form Submission\n\n" }
  17.   print MAIL "Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by\n";
  18.   print MAIL "$Config{'realname'} ($Config{'email'}) on $date\n";
  19.   print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";
  21.   if (@Print_Config) {
  22.     foreach $print_config (@Print_Config) {
  23.       if ($Config{$print_config}) {
  24.         print MAIL "$print_config: $Config{$print_config}\n\n";
  25.       }
  26.     }
  27.   }


This part works:

Code: [ Select ]


  print MAIL "To: $Config{'recipient'}\n";
  print MAIL "From: $Config{'email'} ($Config{'realname'})\n";

  # Check for Message Subject
  if ($Config{'subject'}) { print MAIL "Subject: $Config{'subject'}\n\n" }
  else          { print MAIL "Subject: WWW Form Submission\n\n" }
  3.   print MAIL "To: $Config{'recipient'}\n";
  4.   print MAIL "From: $Config{'email'} ($Config{'realname'})\n";
  6.   # Check for Message Subject
  7.   if ($Config{'subject'}) { print MAIL "Subject: $Config{'subject'}\n\n" }
  8.   else          { print MAIL "Subject: WWW Form Submission\n\n" }



But this part apparently doesn't:

Code: [ Select ]
  print MAIL "Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by\n";
  print MAIL "$Config{'realname'} ($Config{'email'}) on $date\n";
  print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";

  if (@Print_Config) {
    foreach $print_config (@Print_Config) {
      if ($Config{$print_config}) {
        print MAIL "$print_config: $Config{$print_config}\n\n";
      }
    }
  }
  1.   print MAIL "Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by\n";
  2.   print MAIL "$Config{'realname'} ($Config{'email'}) on $date\n";
  3.   print MAIL "-" x 75 . "\n\n";
  5.   if (@Print_Config) {
  6.     foreach $print_config (@Print_Config) {
  7.       if ($Config{$print_config}) {
  8.         print MAIL "$print_config: $Config{$print_config}\n\n";
  9.       }
  10.     }
  11.   }


I need that display of the name and email, because the FROM for most email programs won't display the email address also when printed.


Thanks!

Chris

What is $Config{'subject'}? That looks like a hash array, but I don't see it being populated anywhere. Is there any more to this Perl? Maybe a use statement that imports another module perhaps (would be at the top, probably just below the shebang line.

Anyway, the value of "subject" and "realname" are not defined anywhere in your HTML file. Try adding a hidden field named "subject" with a value of whatever you want your email subject to be. Then, change the Name field name to "realname" (change it in the HTML and in the JavaScript array).

See if that works.
