Code:
function checkTitle() {
var title = document.getElementById("title");
if(title.value.length == 0) {
alert("Your post must have a title.");
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
function checkLen() {
var body = document.form1.bodytext.value.length;
var maxlen = 10;
if(body > maxlen) {
alert('Message is too long.\nMax length: '+maxlen+'\nYour message length: '+body);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
function validateForm() {
var titleok = checkTitle();
var lengthok = checkLen();
if(titleok == true && lengthok == true) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}The validateForm function is called onclick of the submit button, doesn't work properly when called by onsubmit in the form tag either.
Basically, so long as I enter a title, it will accept a message in the bodytext textarea as long as you can type in.
However, if I type in a long message which exceeds the limit, but no title, hit submit it warns me that I have no title. I enter a title, hit submit again and now it tells me the message is too long.
Any ideas why it's giving this bizarre behaviour?
