Hi, I've been working on this for a while now and I can't seem to find
out what is wrong with my code. I have 2 files one c3common.js which
only contains javascript functions for my main html page and my main
html page which is test.html. They are of course part of a much bigger
system of files but i have tracked down the problem to that reduced
part of the code. The page loads perfectly fine however when i click
search i get the error line:37 object expected, which is the line of
the <form name=...... onSubmit="return validate(this);"> The code
basically just takes the data entered in name, email and phone number
and validates them with premade functions. now i know theres nothing
wrong with the functions in c3common.js because when i cut and paste
them into the html page in the script part everything starts working
perfectly but as soon as i move them into another .js file and link the
html page with the scr="c3common.js" piece of code i get the error. Oh
and before you ask the files are in the same directory so thats not the
problem. Thanks a lot for your time guys.
here it goes:
test.html =
<html>
<head>
<title>ShowEmployees (using JSTL)</title>
<script src="c3common.js" type="text/javascript"
language="JavaScript">
function validate(form)
{
window.alert("CHECK!"); //this never even gets shown at all
var check =1;
if(CheckName(form.name.value) == false)
{
window.alert("wrong name");
check =0;
}
if(CheckEmail(form.email.value) == false)
{
window.alert("wrong email");
check =0;
}
if(CheckPhoneNumber(form.telephone.value) == false)
{
window.alert("wrong telephone");
check =0;
}
return check;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="search" method="POST" onsubmit="return
validate(this);">
