I am elaborating simple HTML form with some CSS included in HTML code and with javascript validation also included in HTML. I cannot identify any error but the input data in the form will not validate for some reason... Any ideas what the problem with the code could be? I tried different browsers (Chrome, Edge) but no success yet. Many thanks in advance.

CodePudding user response:
inspect your js script that you've missed the opening and closing brackets of if
conditions and opening bracket of else
condition in each function. I think your error will be resolved : )
Feel free to take a look at this simple HTML form validation in js.
function validateForm() {
let nameField = document.forms["RegForm"]["name"].value;
const nameRegex = /^[a-zA-Z\s] $/; //Only characters allowed
if (nameField == "" || nameField == null) {
alert("Name must be filled out!");
return false;
} else if (!nameRegex.test(nameField)) {
alert("Only characters from a-Z");
return false;
} else {
alert("Name accepted :)");
return false;
//return true; //whenever you want to submit the form
}
}
