My organization is using 6.1 EE with the "Web Form" portlet on several of our sites. We are needing to add validation scripts to our forms to ensure that a Phone Number holds numeric values and is at least 8 characters and that email address's must include @ symbol.

My attempts for the javascript code have not worked (although I am still in my early stages of learning javascript).... my question is.. are there any javascript examples out there that I can copy for this? I have been looking for the last hour and have been unsuccessful in finding anything that works.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Joshua Bertrand,

Please take a look at this link

It will surely help you to learn basic validations using javascript as well as to get your desired..!!

Thank you for the link. It was very helpful in understand the correct way to code a validation script. However, applying this to the Web Form portlet has still been unsuccessful and my form still submits when invalid characters are presented. Does anyone just have code that they use that you wouldn't mind providing?

Thank you.

Phone Number:

Email Address:

Any reason to using (!/\D/ instead of /\d/ and just use .search instead of .test and just specifiy number of digits with [8] instead of using length?



This is a very primitive validation. Should use regular expression so it can be expanded to also test if the domain contains "." and if the left side and right side of "@" at least contain some character. There also may have been some restriction on the left side starting with a character. I think there was a validation check using regular expression in liferay already and it may just be a matter of copying it.
