Thread: Completing a form

Hi, wondering if anyone could help me out. I currently have a form on my website:

http://www.virtual-footballmanager.com/team_sheet.html

I would like to set the form up so that if someone trying to submit the form without filling it out correctly (I have certain rules and restrictions, as part of the game rules of my website) will be prompted to fil the form out as they should. As at the moment a small number of people are not sticking my stated guide lines.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks and a Merry Christmas,


John.

In what way are they NOT completing the form?
I didn´t see any guidlines on the side or on the form !!

You could always put some error or check facility using the php script......

Hi, thanks for the response. I want users of the form to fill in all the fields (personal details, etc) and also to pick 11 players (sticking to the buget of £50m and no more than 4 players from any 1 club).

Hope you can help.

Many thanks and Happy Christmas!

Yes that is possible but will require a custom script to work with the form. I would suggest taking either Navaldesign up on his scripting service or David (above).

Hi John,
You can make a start by changing the name of each of your team selection dropdown boxes.
Either drop the space in the name OR replace the space with _
i.e. goalkeeper 1
to goalkeeper1 or goalkeeper_1

This will then allow a script to find and check for certain conditions
and then send back to the user an appropiate message or course of action.
