Code Select Expand

// The open_form function creates the Javascript verification code and the opening form tags.
// $path hold the form action path.
function open_form($path) {

    echo <<<EOT
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function textCounter(field, maxlimit) {
            if (field.value.length > maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!
            field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
    }
function chkForm()
{
   if(document.myform.user_field1_name.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 1!");
      document.myform.user_field1_name.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user_field2_name.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 2!");
      document.myform.user_field2_name.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user_field3_name.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 3!");
      document.myform.user_field3_name.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user_field4_name.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 4!");
      document.myform.user_field4_name.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
    </script>
    <form method="post" action="$path" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" name="myform" onsubmit="return chkForm();">

Try

Code Select Expand

// The open_form function creates the Javascript verification code and the opening form tags.
// $path hold the form action path.
function open_form($path) {

    echo <<<EOT
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function textCounter(field, maxlimit) {
            if (field.value.length > maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!
            field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
    }
function chkForm()
{
   if(document.myform.user1.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 1!");
      document.myform.user1.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user2.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 2!");
      document.myform.user2.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user3.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 3!");
      document.myform.user3.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
{
   if(document.myform.user4.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please answer question no. 4!");
      document.myform.user4.focus();
      return false;
   }
}
    </script>
    <form method="post" action="$path" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" name="myform" onsubmit="return chkForm();">
EOT;
}instead - you of course have to use the actual field names, not placeholders.
