Anyone have experience with coding forms?

[Cam the Ram]

My Grandmother had a fall over Christmas and broke her arm so it put a bit of a strain on my University studies as I had to devote most of my attention to her. So now I'm in a bit of a rush to get this work done and out the way but I'm struggling with getting my functions to work on my form. Any chance there's some smart ar*e on here who would be willing to help?

Are we talking Excel forms or HTML (or another vehicle?)

This particular one involves using JavaScript for the form, sending the results to a PHP page and then they send the results to be shown within a database. It's the JavaScript functions I'm having a few problems with, like this:

function runner() {
var runner = document.getElementById('RunnerID').value;
if (runner.length == 0) {
return false;
alert("Please fill in mandatory fieldes");
}
else {
return "";
}
}

 

That just does nothing for me when I click submit on the form.

You tried any online parsers to validate the code?

eg

http://codebeautify.org/jsvalidate

Yeah it returns saying this:

Bit I don't recall studying much about strict statements and can't see why the others are wrong.

Most of those errors are with the formatting. If you move the expected locations then it validates better, but still leaves you with a few errors.

Quote

function document() {
    "use strict";
    var runner = document.getElementById('RunnerID').value;
    if (runner.length === 0) {
        return false;
alert("Please fill in mandatory fieldes");
    }
else {
            return "";
        }
}

Thank you for the help mate, much appreciated. And I've just noticed I managed to misspell fields .... I'm not with it today.
