Topic: validateForm() function doesn't work
Expected behavior form should get sent or show error if field is missing
Actual behavior no response on send
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) I'm using the basic contact form code. This worked OK until I inserted the javascript validation - now nothing happens. what am I missing? http://dave.p2net.co.uk/index.html
Right, so now I'm working through the section that uses Ajax to return to the form after sending. Firstly, before entering anything on the form page the status says 'name cannot be empty'. Then, after completing form, the page mail.php appears with json message 'Email successfully sent' code: 1. This does not return me to the form. What am I missing now? http://dave.p2net.co.uk/index.php

Did you use this in your code? https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/jquery/forms/contact/#ajax

Hi, Thanks, yes I was using that code, but it was not clear to me that it had to replace 'just' the lines document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = "Sending..."; document.getElementById('contact-form').submit(); in the previous javascript. it seems to be working now

I'm glad you have solved the problem
Best, Grzegorz
OK, it seems that there is no element called id on the page and so missing field errors were not being shown. Simples

Hi.
But it's ours mistake. We add <div class="status"></div> in html and try to catch this element by ID. we will fix it in our documentation.
Best, Grzegorz
