I have created a HTML5 Form and now on the click of the submit

  • 0

I have created a HTML5 Form and now on the click of the submit button I call a JavaScript function. I want to determine which page to display next (“success.html” or “error.html”) based on the value returned from the function (true or false respectively). How do I achieve that…. I have written following code for this …

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>
        <script>
            function submitData(){              
                var browserName = navigator.appName;
                if (browserName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")
                {
                    var emailId = document.getElementById("emailId").value;
                    var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
                    if (!filter.test(emailId.value)) {                    
                        alert('Please provide a valid email address');
                        emailId.focus;
                        return false;
                    }
                }else{
                    alert("This is not IE. You are lucky. Your browser is : "+browserName);
                }                
                return true;
            }
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id ="myForm" action ="success.html" method="get" onsubmit="return submitData()" onerror="error.html">
            <h1 style="color: darkgoldenrod"> Registration Form </h1>
            Name : 
            <input id ="nameId" type="text" autofocus="true" placeholder="Enter your Name " required="true"/> <br/>
            email ID :
            <input id ="emailId" type="email"/>
            Age :
            <input type="number" min="18" max="70" step="1" value="26">
            <input type="submit" name="submit" />
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Thanks, as you might guess I am new in HTML and JavaScript.. So any help will be really appreciated…

    Appending the following code inside the <script>, after submitData should do the trick.

    $(function(){
    $('#myForm').submit(function(e) {
        if (!submitData()) {
            $(this).attr('action', 'error.html');
        }
    });
});
