I have a simple form at my site which sends it data via Ajax

  • 0

I have a simple form at my site which sends it data via Ajax and then slides a message down. The sending works fine, and the message slides down, but the validation part does not work. I want it to show an alert if user doesn’t fill anything at all to the field.

Here’s the whole code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Coming Soon!</title>

        <!-- Our CSS stylesheet file -->
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:300" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/styles.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/countdown/jquery.countdown.css" />

        <!--[if lt IE 9]>
          <script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
        <![endif]-->
        <!-- JavaScript includes -->
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
        <script src="assets/countdown/jquery.countdown.js"></script>
        <script src="assets/js/script.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
        <script>

        $(function() {
    $(".submit").click(function() {
      var sposti = $("input#sposti").val();
        if (sposti == "") {
        alert ('Kirjoita nyt jotain herranjestas tuohon!');
        return false;
      }
var dataString = $('#formi').serialize();
  //alert (dataString);return false;
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "mailer.php",
    data: dataString,
    success: function() {
     $("#thanks").slideDown('slow');
    }   


  });
  return false;

    });
  });



        </script>


</head>

    <body>
    <div id="thanks" style="width:100%; height:100px; background:url('../img/page_bg_center.jpg') no-repeat center center;
    position:absolute; top:0px; border-bottom:2px solid black; text-align:center; display:none;"><span style="position:absolute; top:30px;">Kiitos! Saat tiedon kun sivusto avautuu :)</span></div>

        <div id="countdown"></div>

        <p id="note"></p>
        <p style="text-align:center; color:#666666; text-shadow: 2px 2px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);">Haluatko tiedon kun sivusto aukeaa? Anna s&auml;hk&ouml;postisi alle.<br><br></p>
  <form action="#" method="post" style="text-align:center;" id="formi">
        <input type="email" name="sposti">&nbsp;<input type="submit" class="submit" style="width:50px;">
    </form>



    </body>
</html>

    you’re using the selector $("input#sposti"). however, you don’t have an element with the id ‘sposti`; set your element’s id to ‘spotsi’ and you should be fine.
