@DHTML / Yawatide
Pls i need your help DHTML sir ! told you my website is gonna ba a bomb soon ! pls, javascripting has really being tough for me to code myself but i got the logic using it i know how to read any code and use it for myself ! thats what i do for javascript and it sucks but i surely know i got to know it on my own soon !
Pls, i only need writted code to secure and validate my form ( a signup form in my site coming soon ) i dont want malicious things to be injected in my form , so, it will only accept a particular data-type thats its recommended to be filled in , so, i need javascript to check that for me on the client side so user can quickly check themselves for error better than the php things that has to load and annoyingly bringing the form back to my User ,
do you see any point in what i need sir?
pls , i need it urgently , pls send me email ( segun@segsalerty.com) a kinda likely code to use with lil comment so i can understand the code and use , s

@segsalerty

What if you get a PHP script, would you like that?

hmm,

I try to avoid writing too much code in my posts as I even find such boring. Besides, I hate reading long posts.  If you still need my help, YIM me when i am online.

The best approach is a combo of front- and back-end validation.  I can help with both.  As a primer/teaser:

PHP (just one form field although obviously you can port this to others):
$from = $_POST['full_name'];
$from = trim($from);

//do this if you want to add it to a DB. If not, ignore
$from = addslashes($from);

//validate required fields
$errors = array();

if(empty($from)) {
    $errors[] = 'Name';
}

if($errors) {
echo '<p class="para"><strong>Please click the Back Button</strong> and correct the following error(s):</p><ul>';
foreach ($errors as $e) {
echo "<li>Please enter a valid $e.</li>\n";
}
echo '</ul>';
} else {
    //create your sql string or if no DB required, just print default statement.  I will go for latter here
    echo 'Your message has been received.  Expect to hear from us soon.';
}//if

By the way, unlike many who like to do validation on the same page (via php_self), I prefer having a separate page, which I call "processor".  I find this, based on my personal experience, a better approach, with respect to abstraction.  So my form tag in my contact.php would like like so:
<form action="thank-you.php" method="post" etc etc>

'hope this helps.  Good luck!

Thanks Mom yawatide and rest helper here , i dont have problem with php validation ! you built me up already thanks
But , here is my request for help again , i can explain better here now .
i am introducing a sign up form in my website ! you know am a newbie , i dont want to use any CMS now , i want to code myself , for the server side thing , ( no problem ) but coz my user is going to fill some form while signing up will be be sent into the database, but , as you know PHP , it will continue to check /process for error or misfilling of any field of the form in the server and will irritatingly be bringing theseme sign-up form for the user until he/she fills everything correct as i already restricted in the backend !
Pls, i need javascript here that it will only allow the form to be successfully sent to the server only if the user filled the form with correct datatypes/datalengths and so on , it should continue to tell the user , CHECK this , CHECK that and fill again until the whole thing is valid,
Thanks

As is the case in every kung fu movie, a true kung fu master doesn't teach his students everything lest the student come back to want to challenge him some day. Having said that, you strike me as a good and honest chap who is actually willing to learn. For that, I will share this with you (and of course by extension, others):

Check it out. It's self-explanatory. Also feel free not just to copy and paste but to modify to meet your needs
