Hi been wrestling this
form and the last step (actually submitting) has me scratching my head. What I have so far is the form:
<form id="theForm" method='post' name="emailForm">
<table border="0" cellspacing="2">
<td>Email <span class="red">*</span></td><td><input type='text'class="validate[required,custom[email]]" size="30"></td></tr>
<td>First Name:</td><td><input type='text' name='email[first]' id='first_name' size=30></td></tr>
<tr height="30">
<td cellpadding="4">Last Name:</td><td><input type='text' name='email[last]' id='e_last_name' size=30>
<td>Birthday</td>
<td><select name='month' style='width:70px; margin-right: 10px'>
<option value=''>Month</option>
<option value="1">Jan</option>
<option value="2">Feb</option>
....
</select><select name='day' style='width:55px; margin-right: 10px'>
<option value=''>Day</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
...
<option value="31">31</option>
</select><select name='year' style='width:60px;' >
<option value=''>Year</option>
<option value="2007">2007</option>
<option value="2006">2006</option>
<option value="2005">2005</option>
...
</select>
<input type='image' src='{{skin url=""}}images/email/signUpButt.gif' value='Submit' onClick="return checkAge()" />
<input type="hidden" id= "under13" name="under13" value="No">
and a script that checks the age and sets a cookie/changes display
function checkAge()
{
var min_age = 13;
var year = parseInt(document.forms["emailForm"]["year"].value);
var month = parseInt(document.forms["emailForm"]["month"].value) - 1;
var day = parseInt(document.forms["emailForm"]["day"].value);
var theirDate = new Date((year + min_age), month, day);
var today = new Date;
if ( (today.getTime() - theirDate.getTime()) < 0) {
var el = document.getElementById('emailBox');
if(el){
el.className += el.className ? ' youngOne' : 'youngOne';
}
document.getElementById('emailBox').innerHTML = "<style type=\"text/css\">.formError {display:none}</style><p>Good Bye</p><p>You must be 13 years of age to sign up.</p>";
createCookie('age','not13',0)
return false;
}
else {
createCookie('age','over13',0)
return true;
}}
that all seems to be working well.. just missing kind of a crucial step of actually submitting the
form if it validates (if they pass the age question). So I am thinking that this will be wrapped in that script.. something in here :
else {
createCookie('age','over13',0)
return true;
}
Can someone please help me figure out how I could handle this submit?
