Please, dont' beat: Little Problem with a required field

Hi all (and Carbonize),

Me again:

I have used the FAQ and the 'Search' and I could find, how to change the Email-Field into a required field. So far so good. It works almost fine.

But I couldn't find something about this: The Error page is opening up instead of a pop up (like the Name-error).

This I have added in form.php:

function checkForm() {
document.book.gb_email.value=trim(document.book.gb_email.value);
document.book.gb_comment.value=trim(document.book.gb_comment.value);
if(document.book.gb_email.value == "") {
alert("$LANG[ErrorPost12]");
document.book.gb_email.focus();
return false;
}

Could someone explain a Newbie in detail, what I should do?

Thank you so much for your help.

Andrea

I assume you want to do a complete job? If so we will need to edit both the form.php javascript and the entry checking in add.class.php.

Thank you so much for your reply, Carbonize.
I know, I'm too pedantic, but it don't look great having different pages for the specific errors.

I have tried to change in add.class.php, but something goes wrong.

Could you explain me, where and what I need to edit?

Thanks a lot.

Well for a start try this instead

function checkForm() {
document.book.gb_email.value=trim(document.book.gb_email.value);
document.book.gb_comment.value=trim(document.book.gb_comment.value)
document.book.gb_email.value=trim(document.book.gb_email.value);
if(document.book.gb_email.value == "") {
alert("You must provide your email address!");
document.book.gb_email.focus();
return false;
}

Try that and see if that works then hit me back to start on the add.class.php

Either that or try Lazarus.

Thanks for your help.
I have tried, but it doesn't work. Ok, I am a Newbie and it's too complicate for me changing all these things.

Now I think about Lazarus.
