Question

Hello I am working on a javascript that is supposed to test the password field. Now I was able to get the the password field to work out and display a alert if none of the requirements are not being met. However the next problem lies in what to do now that the requirements are true. I wrote a true statement to check to see if it it would click the button on the form to enter in the password but so far I can’t seem to get it click the button. Any advice would be very welcomed and appreciated. Here is the code I have as of right now.

var str= passwordFieldForm; 
var patt=/[a-z]/g; 
var patt2 = /[A-Z]/g;  
var patt3 = /[0-9]/g;  
var patt4 = /[~\!@#\$%\^&*_\-\+=`\|\\(\)\{\}\[\]:;"'<>,\.\?\/]/g;  

var result=patt.test(str); 
var result2=patt2.test(str); 
var result3=patt3.test(str); 
var result4=patt4.test(str); 

if (!result) 
  alert("Needs a lowercase letter"); 

if (!result2) 
  alert("Needs a Uppercase Letter");

if (!result3) 
  alert("Needs a Number.") ;

if (!result4) 
  alert("Needs a special character"); 


if (result) && (result2) && (result3) && (result4) == true 
  document.getElementById("kioskform:broswerPasswordSubmit").click(); 

Answer 1

The if statement expects an expression between parentheses, i.e.:

if (result && result2 && result3 && result4) {
  document.getElementById("kioskform:broswerPasswordSubmit").click(); 
}

Also, there’s no need to explicitly compare the result against true. If the expression evaluates to true, its body will be executed, just like you used in the individual ifs.
