jQuery Form Validation being bypassed
- by user1953681
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my jQuery validation? It is not validating my form, rather, just ignoring the code resulting in no check of the inputs.
Form:
<form class="form" accept-charset="UTF-8" action="URL-to-complete-form" method="POST" onsubmit="return validateForm();">
<input class="form-name" type="text" placeholder="Name"></div>
<input class="form-email" type="text"placeholder="Email"></div>
<input style="background-color: #fc8f12;" type="submit" value="Subscribe">
</div>
</form>
Javascript:
function validateForm()
{
// Validate Name
var title = $(".form-name").val();
if (title=="" ||title=="Name" || title==null) { } else {
alert("Please enter a name!");
}
// Validate Email
var email = $(".form-email").val();
if ((/(.+)@(.+){2,}\.(.+){2,}/.test(email)) || email=="" || email=="Email" || email==null) { } else {
alert("Please enter a valid email");
}
return false;
}
Thank you all for your time and help.
