Thread: JavaScript form address field validations

In javascript form validations, how to allow numbers, special characters, alphabets in address field? the address field doesn't allow only numbers or alphabets or characters. it allows all the three otherwise it shows the alert message.

if anybody konw the answer please explain me.

Hi ashaflint,

Look at the following code..

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ValidChars = "0123456789";
// Here what ever you want to put. As you mentioned numbers or alphabets or characters.
var IsNumber=true;
var Char;
for (i = 0; i < sText.length && IsNumber == true; i++)
{
Char = sText.charAt(i);
if (ValidChars.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
IsNumber = false;
}
}
return IsNumber;
}

In the above function sText is the value of the address field. I think it will help to you.

Hi ashaflint,

I think it is easy to give the alert message when the user enters only numbers or alphabets or characters...Look at the following script, now i give the alert message when the user enters only numbers.

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ok = "0123456789";
var f=true;
var Char;
for (i = 0; i < sText.length && f == true; i++)
{
Char = sText.charAt(i);
if (ok.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
f = false;
}
}

if (f==true)
{
alert("user enters only numbers");
}
}

So you can change this script to alphabets or characters also. The only thing is you should change the value of "ok". In the above function i give only numbers. I hope this will help to you.

hi

the code given by suresh is correct but little modification then it will work

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ok = "0123456789";
var f=true;
var Char;
var text=sText.value;
for (i = 0; i {
Char=text.charAt(i);
if(ok.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
f = false;
}

}
if (f==false)
{
alert("user enters only numbers");
}
}

sorry u copy this one

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ok = "0123456789";
var f=true;
var Char;
var text=sText.value;
for (i = 0; i {
Char=text.charAt(i);
if(ok.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
f = false;
}

}
if (f==false)
{
alert("user enters only numbers");
}
}

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ok = "0123456789";
var f=true;
var Char;
var text=sText.value;
for (i = 0;i {
Char=text.charAt(i);
if(ok.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
f = false;
}

}
if (f==false)
{
alert("user enters only numbers");
}
}

getting problem while displaying for loop

for (i = 0;i

function checkAddress(sText)
{
var ok = "0123456789";
var f=true;
var Char;
for (var i = 0;i {
Char=sText.charAt(i);
if(ok.indexOf(Char) == -1)
{
f = false;
}

}
if (f==false)
{
alert("user enters only numbers");
}
}

in onkeypress function you can check this one like this

function onlyno(){
key=key.event();

if(key.indexOf("0123456789")>-1){
return true
else return false
}

}
