Many thanks.

<script language="JavaScript">

function checkChars(field, fieldName) {

var okchars =
"0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@.-"
var ok = "yes";
var temp;

for (var i = 0; i < field.value.length; i++) {
temp = "" + field.value.substring(i, i+1);
if (okchars.indexOf(temp) == "-1") ok = "no";
}

if (ok == "no") {
alert("The " + fieldName + " field must contain only alphabetic or
numeric characters, please check for invalid characters.");
field.focus();
field.select();

}

}

Hi Andy:

Thanks for answering my call for help.

It would help if you included some information about what's wrong. E.g.
say what's supposed to happen and say what does happen instead. and/or use
your browser's javascript debugging capabilities to report any errors in
the page. (In firefox 1.5 it's tools -> Javascript console)

This is Login page with three text fields in it - Password for Single
User, Password for Multi User and Customer ID for Multi-User, and two
Login buttons (for Single Users and Multi Users). I use two separate
forms on that page (one for Single Users, another - for Multi Users).
Once users click on any of the Login buttons, they're redirected to
external web site.
All three text fields are mandatory, but for some reason function
responsible for Multi Users mandatory fields (Password and Customer ID)
is not working properly. When I troubleshooted this page in Firefox, I
got message saying that my form for Multi Users is not defined. I
suspect, something wrong with my "if, else if" part of the Multi Users
script where I check if users filled in Multi Users fields.

Hope this info was more helpful.

Again, I appreciate your willingness to get me out of that mud.

Regards,
Olly

Consider method charAt.

if (okchars.indexOf(temp) == "-1") ok = "no";
}

if (ok == "no") {
alert("The " + fieldName + " field must contain only alphabetic or

field.focus();
field.select();

}

}

Consider
var BAD = /[^[email protected]]/i.test(field.value) // by RegExp
if (BAD) { ...

Thanks Andy and John!

Here's URL for this page.
http://ccohs.ca/products/coursesNew/mylogin.html

I opened Firfox's JS console and got not error messages.The first form
seems to be working fine, but not the second one. I suspect something
wrong with the conditionals in the second form....

Could you say what the exact error message was? Also, does the page work
in IE6? And does the first form work OK? I think (someone correct me
if I'm wrong) that the syntax you are using for getting at the form
element (document.Form3.) is a peculiarity of internet explorer, and isn't
widely supported. So maybe try using:

var form3=null;
var multiPw=null;
if (document.getElementById) {
form3=document.getElementById("form3");
multiPw=document.getElementById("multi_pw");
}
Form3.target = "_blank";
.....
multi_pw.focus()


... etcetera
