Hi I have a form that needs post code checking. On successful completion of the postcode check I wish to open another window (not a new one). it sounds simple but not being javascript competent, its driving me crazy. I have copied the postcode check from some one else: function postit(){ //check postcode format is valid test = document.details.pcode.value; size = test.length test = test.toUpperCase(); //Change to uppercase while (test.slice(0,1) == " ") //Strip leading spaces {test = test.substr(1,size-1);size = test.length } while(test.slice(size-1,size)== " ") //Strip trailing spaces {test = test.substr(0,size-1);size = test.length } document.details.pcode.value = test; //write back to form field if (size < 6 || size > 8){ //Code length rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - wrong length"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } if (!(isNaN(test.charAt(0)))){ //leftmost character must be alpha character rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - cannot start with a number"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } if (isNaN(test.charAt(size-3))){ //first character of inward code must be numeric rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - alpha character in wrong position"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } if (!(isNaN(test.charAt(size-2)))){ //second character of inward code must be alpha rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - number in wrong position"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } if (!(isNaN(test.charAt(size-1)))){ //third character of inward code must be alpha rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - number in wrong position"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } if (!(test.charAt(size-4) == " ")){//space in position length-3 rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - no space or space in wrong position"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } count1 = test.indexOf(" ");count2 = test.lastIndexOf(" "); if (count1 != count2){//only one space rule alert(test + " is not a valid postcode - only one space allowed"); document.details.pcode.focus(); return false; } return true; } // End --> </script> Code (markup): my calling line is: <input class="submit1" type="SUBMIT" value="Submit Info. " onclick="postit()" name="Button" > Code (markup): and my form action call is : <FORM name="details" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="../this/that.php" METHOD="POST"> Code (markup): All I need is teh post code to be checked for validity and then take me to that.php page, wihtout opeing a new page. many thanks for your help.
Hi Solved it. used this instead: <FORM name="details" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="that/this.php" onsubmit="return postit()" METHOD="POST"> Code (markup): thx
