Since having a few problems with javascript i did the following:

Went to this page:

http://www.smartwebby.com/DHTML/email_validation.asp

Copyed the instruction and paste in Dreamweaver - It Worked

Now in Chrono:

Put in the html tab

<p>Enter an Email Address : <input type="text" name="txtEmail" id ="txtEmail"> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p>

Put in the Javascript tab:

function echeck(str) { var at="@" var dot="." var lat=str.indexOf(at) var lstr=str.length var ldot=str.indexOf(dot) if (str.indexOf(at)==-1){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.indexOf(at)==-1 || str.indexOf(at)==0 || str.indexOf(at)==lstr){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.indexOf(dot)==-1 || str.indexOf(dot)==0 || str.indexOf(dot)==lstr){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.indexOf(at,(lat+1))!=-1){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.substring(lat-1,lat)==dot || str.substring(lat+1,lat+2)==dot){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.indexOf(dot,(lat+2))==-1){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } if (str.indexOf(" "«»)!=-1){ alert("Invalid E-mail ID"«») return false } return true } function ValidateForm(){ var emailID=document.frmSample.txtEmail if ((emailID.value==null)||(emailID.value==""«»)){ alert("Please Enter your Email ID"«») emailID.focus() return false } if (echeck(emailID.value)==false){ emailID.value="" emailID.focus() return false } return true }


OnSubmit Button tried several:
onSubmit="return ValidateForm(ChronoContact_teste)"

onSubmit="return ValidateForm()"

onSubmit="return ValidateForm(this)"

and nothing happens

Hi Cleocadio,

You need to replace 'frmSample' with the ChronoForms form name in the JavaScriptfunction ValidateForm(){ var emailID=document.ChronoContact_teste.txtEmail
and use onSubmit="return ValidateForm()" in the 'Form tag attachment' field to have this code work.

This isn't terribly useful as you have to hunt down the form name. More useful isfunction ValidateForm(fname){ var emailID=fname.txtEmail and use onSubmit="return ValidateForm(ChronoContact_teste)" in the 'Form tag attachment' field.
