Validate Html Form With Jquery

Can someone see where I'm going wrong with this form validation? I was using an example I found online and it does not work for me. I want to validated the input fields with the j

Solution 1:

Remove non-existing fields from validation rule, url etc. I have removed these and its working. Working http://jsfiddle.net/xyRRU/ , check the code below:

<!DOCTYPE HTMLPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title>Register</title><metahttp-equiv="Content-Type"content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-5"><linktype="text/css"href="style1.css" /><linktype="text/css"href="forms.css" /><scriptsrc="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script><scripttype="text/javascript"src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script><scripttype="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#registerform").validate({
        messages: {

            firstname: "Please enter your firstname",
            username: {
                required: "Please enter a username",
                minlength: "Your username must consist of at least 2 characters"
            },

            email: "Please enter a valid email address"

        },
        rules: {
          username: "required",
          firstname: "required", 
          email: {// compound rulerequired: true,
          passwd: true,
          email: true,
        },
        },

      });
    });
  </script><styletype="text/css">label { width: 10em; float: left; }
label.error { float: none; color: red; padding-left: .5em; vertical-align: top; }
p { clear: both; }
.submit { margin-left: 12em; }
em { font-weight: bold; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top; }
</style></head><body>

Please register below
<p /><formaction=" "id="registerform"method="POST"><tablecellspacing="9"><tr><td><b>Username:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="username"size="30"></td></tr><tr><td><b>First name:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="firstname"size="30"/></td></tr><tr><td><b>Surname:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="lastname"size="30"/></td></tr><tr><td><b>Email  : </b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="email"size="30"/></td></td></tr><tr><td><b>Password :</b></td><td><inputtype="password"name="passwd"size="30"/></td></tr><tr><td><b>Telephpone:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="telephone"size="30"/></td></td></tr><tr><td><b>House No:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="ad1"size="30"/></td></td></tr><tr><td><b>Street Name:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="street"size="30"/></td></tr><tr><td><b>Town/ City:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="town"size="30"/></td></tr><tr><td><b>Post code:</b></td><td><inputtype="text"name="pcode"size="30"/></td></tr></table><p /><inputclass="submit"type="submit"value="Sign Up!" /><inputtype="reset"value ="Clear Form"onClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to reset the form?')"></form></body>

Solution 2:

Check your syntax - you have a comma left in here:

rules: { 

      username:"required", 

      firstname:"required",  

      email: {//compoundrulerequired:true, 

      passwd:true, 

      email:true**,** 

    }, 

Remove that and see how you get on.

Solution 3:

You're getting JavaScript errors. Run this fiddle to see, http://jsfiddle.net/nickyt/Sjvh2 . It looks like the validation plug-in is throwing errors on line 493. Start debugging ;)

Solution 4:

Your link to jquery.validate.js is returning a 403 Forbidden error, which means you're not actually importing the plugin.

Try this link instead: http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js

<scripttype="text/javascript"src="http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script>

Better still, point to a local copy of the file.

Also, do check that you're not getting any JS errors using firebug.


Edit : This change alone will not solve your problem, but you really shouldn't be hotlinking the script from dev.jquery.com. See related answer, and Hotlinking to be disabled on January 31, 2011.
