I want my form submit button to be disabled/enabled depending on if the form is completely filled.
When the inputs are filled, the disabled button changes to enabled. That works great. But I would like it to disable the button when an input gets emtied.
This is my script:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function checkform()
{
var f = document.forms["theform"].elements;
var cansubmit = true;
for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++) {
if (f[i].value.length == 0) cansubmit = false;
}
if (cansubmit) {
document.getElementById('submitbutton').disabled = false;
}
}
</script>
<form name="theform">
<input type="text" onKeyup="checkform()" />
<input type="text" onKeyup="checkform()" />
<input id="submitbutton" type="submit" disabled="disabled" value="Submit" />
</form>
Just use
document.getElementById('submitbutton').disabled = !cansubmit;
instead of the the if-clause that works only one-way.
Also, for the users who have JS disabled, I'd suggest to set the initial disabled
by JS only. To do so, just move the script behind the <form>
and call checkform();
once.
