PHP Forms

[Anon]

I have a PHP form. In the BODY tag is use the following javascript:

ONLOAD="document.enquiryform.yourtitle.focus();
This moves the focus upon load to the combo box.

This worked fine until I have added a DTHML popup menu from DHTML Labs. The popup menu no longer displays the menu, unless the above is removed from the BODY Tag.

I am new to Javascript and wondered if the ONLOAD event is stopping the other javascript in the PHP file from activating, or am I talking a load of crap?

Any Help please.

Many Thanks

Hi:

Perhaps try re-ordering the tab value of your combo box to 1, that way it will still hold the focus when the user loads the page, and you won't need to use your script. Your javascript menu should then work just fine.

I have tried changing the TAB Index to 1 but once the form has loaded, the focus is not moved anywhere.

Any ideas why?

Hmmm...not sure, but I did find this tutorial for running multiple js's off one page...

And as for the e-mail verification, here's a sample of something I've used in the past....

// This section was added to validate e-mail addresses, and sends them to
// error6.htm
else if(!eregi("^{[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+([.][a-z0-9-]+)+$",$form_email_id))}
{ header("Location:http://$HTTP_HOST/$DOCROOT/error6.htm");
exit();
}
