BIS601 Full Stack Development - Form Enhancement and Validation

 Form enhancement and validation

A form can be enhanced by styling, having placeholders, validation of input and submitting the form only when all inputs are in order.

The validations used in the below form are name entered should not be empty, email should have @ and . etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

  <title>Simple Form</title>

  <style>

    .error {

      color: red;

    }

  </style>

</head>

<body>


<h3>Simple Form</h3>


<form id="myForm">

  Name: <input type="text" id="name" placeholder=”type name”><br>

  <span id="nameError" class="error"></span><br>


  Email: <input type="text" id="email" placeholder=”type email”><br>

  <span id="emailError" class="error"></span><br>


  <button type="submit">Submit</button>

</form>


<script>

  document.getElementById('myForm').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {

    e.preventDefault(); // stop form from submitting


    // Clear previous errors

    document.getElementById('nameError').textContent = ' ';

    document.getElementById('emailError').textContent = ' ';


    // Get values

    const name = document.getElementById('name').value;

    const email = document.getElementById('email').value;


    let valid = true;


    // Check name

    if (name.trim() === ' ') {

      document.getElementById('nameError').textContent = 'Name is required';

      valid = false;

    }


    // Basic email check (just '@' and '.')

    if (email.indexOf('@') === -1 || email.indexOf('.') === -1) {

      document.getElementById('emailError').textContent = 'Invalid email';

      valid = false;

    }


    if (valid) {

      alert('Form submitted');

    }

  });

</script>


</body>

</html>
