form helper and javascript? - El Forum - 07-26-2008

I made a form validator that is at the top of my html between the head tags. I use the form_open() function from the form helper. In my form's submit button, I use onClick="check(); return false;" but the form still submits anyway even if it is empty. Does javascript work with the form helper?

A suggestion: Try to refrain from using inline event calls whenever possible. Instead, consider using Event Handlers/Listeners. Read: http://onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/chapter4.html
Do you have Firebug installed?
Also, when you view source, what does the output of the form opener look like? I may be wrong, but I'd think that as long as your <form> element is being output correctly, CI isn't going to tamper with your code. After all, the form helpers simply print HTML.

This is my form function:
Code:
<?php $formatts = array('name' => 'register');
echo form_open('register/newMember', $formatts); ?>This is what it displays as:
Quote:<form action="http://www.unholydesigns.com/gamerstweak/register/newMember" method="post" name="register">
And yes, I do have Firebug installed.
