I have a form that I am using to add data to a mysql database table. I am using a .pl scrtipt to generate the html. I am using cgi.pm and param() to insert the form data. And, I am using to the print<<HTML; function to display my forms within the .pl script. The problem is that when the user completes the form and hits the enter key (as opposed to the mouse to submit the form), the form goes blank and nothing happens. However, if a user uses the mouse, everything works fine.
Please let me know what you think the problem is. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andrew Here's the code: ..snip1.. my $choice = lc(param("choice")); my $check_email = WebDB::trim_and_collapse_whitespace (lc(param("check_email"))); ..snip1.. ..snip2.. if ($choice eq "") { checkemailform(); # displays form } elsif ($choice eq "check") { checkemail(); # inserts the data } ..snip2.. ..snip3.. sub checkemailform { print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print <<checkemailform; <html> <head> <title>Insider's Advantage</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- .main {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #000000;} .mainsmall {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000;} .head {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;} --> </style> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT TYPE="TEXT/JAVASCRIPT"> function submitIt(form) { if (!validEmail(form.check_email.value)) { alert("Invalid AOLTW Business E-Mail Address.") form.check_email.focus() form.check_email.select return false } } function validEmail(check_email) { invalidChars = " /:,;" if (check_email =="") { return false } for (i=0; i<invalidChars.length; i++) { badChar = invalidChars.charAt(i) if (check_email.indexOf(badChar,0) > -1) { return false } } atPos = check_email.indexOf("@",1) if (atPos == -1) { return false } if (check_email.indexOf("@",atPos+1) > -1) { return false } periodPos = check_email.indexOf(".",atPos) if (periodPos == -1) { return false } if (periodPos+3 > check_email.length) { return false } return true } //end validEmail </SCRIPT> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <form method="post" action="2003springcontest.pl" onSubmit="return submitIt(this)"> <table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="main" align="center"><img src="http://insidersadvantage.com/images/promotions/2003brochure/signup_head .jpg" border="0"></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="main">Please enter your work email address below so that we may determine whether or not you are an E-Club member. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="main">* <i> <b>Indicates a required field.</b></i></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="175" align="right" class="main">Work Email Address:</td> <td width="325" class="main"> <input type="text" name="check_email" maxlength="60"> *</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" name="choice" value="Check"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="main"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> checkemailform } ..snip3.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
