Regular Expressions

[Roody]

I'm having a bit of a problem with my coding for the following page. i'm working on a project that requires me to write a "Regular Expression" for an email address and also,a regular expression that gives a popup when all fields arent entered saying " Please complete all fields" and a popup that says "Information received successfully" when everything is entered correctly.

If anyone knows how I can code this, and can help me today/tomorrow with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

btw, the email address needs to be the last field right above the submit and cancel buttons.

P.S. i placed the email field in there only to show where it needs to go and how it needs to be laid out. im not aware using this in its present form will work for a Regular Expression.

Are you doing this with just HTML / Javascript or do yo have some kind of server side language such as ASP or PHP processing the data?

example form w/ required fields:
study this and you should be able to figure it out.




<script>

function checkrequired(which){
var pass=true
if (document.images){
for (i=0;i<which.length;i++){
var tempobj=which.elements
if (tempobj.name.substring(0,8)=="required"){
if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&tempobj.selectedIndex==-1)){
pass=false
break
}
}
}
}
if (!pass){
alert("* You must enter all required info *")
return false
}
else
return true
}
</script>




<FORM NAME="mail_form" ACTION="mailto erson@domain.com?Subject=Publishing Problem" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="text/plain" onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)">

ok ill take a look at that Tony. In answer to your question this is solely html/javascript kind of thing. no server side stuff.

[Roody]

tell ya what im pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff. i tried taking that code Tony and cutting and pasting to do what I need it to do and i couldnt make it happen. Trying to get this thing in a table with regular expressions.

[Roody]

thanks cyberskye. ill take a look at that

well i have no clue. if anyone wants to take a stab at this for purely educational experience by all means. basically i need a table that will allow me to do what i do in my original post in here, but do it with Regular Expressions.
