Contact Us Form - Help Please

Hi Everyone!

I'm new here and was hoping you wouldnt mind giving me some help?

Firstly I'm Rachelle and live in Sydney Now onto Business!

I am in need of a Contact Us Validation Form - I've been using getElementbyID & if else statements but I'm coming unstuck a bit

These are the requirements for the form:

First Name
Surname
Address
Postcode (min 4 max 4 digits)
Nature of Enquiry (drop down menu - with default 'general')
Telephone number (max 10 digits)
Date you would like us to contact you (in the form dd/mm/yyyy)

I've attached what I've done so far - its not pretty though sorry - please be gentle with me - I'm learning!

Thanks in advance

Rachelle

It can be done using php. I have some simple validation that checks for empty fields and aslo validation on my registration page that checks to make sure in a number field only numbers are entered.

You could also look at learning CSS to stle your form
Have a look at http://www.sitepoint.com/article/fancy-form-design-css and also http://www.webcredible.co.uk/user-fr...ss-forms.shtml

You need php or some other server side script to process the form which you should be able to get help with in the php forums and als o help with CSS in the css forum.

if you want any server side (php) validation I can help you with that.

You could also look at http://www.ibdhost.com/contact/ becuase there is a contact form there with some form processing

Hi

thanks very much for your reply. I'll check those sites out.

I'm really trying to work with Javascript a bit to get my head around it a bit more. I'd like to be able to write my own script rather than copying and pasting all the time but at the moment I'm not having much luck!

Thanks again

Rach

You definitely need to use some CSS to style the forms and make them look pretty as well as usuability and accessibility.

But as to php, I suggested that becuase if you want form validation and the user has JS disabled in their browser, your validation won't work. You could have both, client side and server side

Hi again

Thanks for that. Yes I'll be working on the style side of things - just wanted to get my head around the script first.

Take care

Rach
