I'm trying to add an email input to my form in HTML5, but somehow it still allows me to write anything without # and the other stuff that an email contains.
<input class="form-control" type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
Also tried:
<input type="text" pattern="/^[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&’*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+#[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*$/" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required>
and still nothing happens if I write it incorrectly.
If you are not trying to validate while typing, then it will automatically show error after you submit it.

Im working on one of my 5 projects in the freecodecamp Responsive Web Design course (the survey project) and I am trying to use the built in required function in html5 in my email input but it isn't working, when I click enter rather than giving the little popup asking for a valid email address with an # in it, nothing happens at all. Im a very new developer so humor me if im asking a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out on my own.
HTML:
<form id="survey-form">
<label for="name">Full Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-inputs" id="name" name="firstname" placeholder="Enter Name Here">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-inputs" id="email" placeholder="Enter A Valid Email Adress" required>
</form>
Normally validation doesn't run unless you try to submit the form.
Add a submit button after your input element and try the same code. The end result could be something like this:
<form id="survey-form">
<label for="name">Full Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-inputs" id="name" name="firstname" placeholder="Enter Name Here">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="email" class="form-inputs" id="email" placeholder="Enter A Valid Email Adress" name="email" required>
<button type="submit">Submit Me</button>
</form>
If you require to send the form to a specific file to do the submission process you could add an action attribute to the form tag but from what you are saying that's outside of what you're currently studying.
EDIT based on Tieson T.'s comment
I added the name="email" to the email input in the code example.
I am trying to get one of those MailChimp embedded forms to work on my website (WordPress). The placeholder text for the Email field, etc. isn't disappearing like it's supposed to.
I'm using this code:
< input type="email" value="Email Address" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" onfocus=”if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value=’‘;” onblur=”if(this.value==’‘)this.value=this.defaultValue;” >
I tried messing around with a placeholder attribute as well, but didn't get anywhere with that either.
Suggestions? (Thank you!)
It appears your the special quote characters are throwing off the Javascript parser (tested in Chrome stable on Windows).
<input type="email" value="Email Address" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" onfocus="if(this.value==this.defaultValue)this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value=this.defaultValue;" >
The proper solution here to prevent this from occurring is to use a proper Javascript IDE that will insert valid double quotes.
You have a problem with spacing (before the input tag, and quotation marks
<input type="email" value="Email Address" name="EMAIL" class="required email" id="mce-EMAIL" onfocus="if (this.value==this.defaultValue) this.value='';" onblur="if (this.value=='') this.value=this.defaultValue;">
I have a very basic form where I ask user's name, mobile, email. I have enabled autocomplete provision in these fields using the following code:
<label for="frmNameA">Name</label>
<input name="name" id="frmNameA" placeholder="Full name" required autocomplete="name">
<label for="frmEmailA">Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" id="frmEmailA" placeholder="name#example.com" required autocomplete="email">
<label for="frmPhoneNumA">Phone</label>
<input type="tel" name="phone" id="frmPhoneNumA" placeholder="+1-650-450-1212" required autocomplete="tel">
Here is the fiddle. Currently, the user has to focus on these elements and then it displays the suggestions. Is there any way by which we can prefill this data once the form is loaded? We want to prefill the 1st suggestion that comes in the autocomplete and not some hard coded value.
Also, I saw websites like facebook, twitter etc. using only autocomplete and not prefilling the data - is there any specific reason to not prefill the things?
The autocomplete attribute specifies whether a form should have autocomplete on or off.
When autocomplete is on, the browser automatically complete values based on values that the user has entered before.
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get" autocomplete="on">
First name:<input type="text" name="fname"><br>
E-mail: <input type="email" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
You can store user values into the localStorage at completion, then load this values on page load.
This way, no need to hardcode datas, neither store server side.
// Store
localStorage.setItem("userconfig",mail.value)
// Fill data
onload = (function(){
mail.value = localStorage.getItem("userconfig")
})
I have a form that contains an input of type email that is required. I would like to have my own custom validation on that input field in order to be able to show the error message in different languages. However, currently the input field is evaluated by the HTML5 validation.
The code looks like this:
<input [(ngModel)]="user.email" type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required placeholder="{{'Email'|translate}}">
Is it possible to disable that, so that I am able to implement my own validation?
The validation code is yet to be written.
Include tag with no validate attribute as below
<form action="Form" novalidate>
<input [(ngModel)]="user.email" type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required placeholder="{{'Email'|translate}}">
<input type="submit">
</form>
i have a text field for email which is set to required, i want it to show a text that you need to include "#" on your email. like how it displays "fill out this field" when you pressed the button without typing anything on the field. How can i do it? Thanks.
EXAMPLE:
<input type="text" name="email" required>
You can try to use the type in case you are using HTML5 as:
<input type="email" name="email" required>
If you are not using the HTML5 then you need to use some scripting language like Javascript to check the validity. For example in Javascript it would be like:
if(!document.getElementById("email").checkValidity())
In case of PHP it would be like
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
You can check it by using (since HTML5):
<input type="mail" name="email" required>
It will display a warning if format is not correct (tooltip, or red color around the field, depending on your browser.
Or you can check it on the server side, once you form is sent. For example with PHP, you can use filter_var
Use pattern attribute,
<input type="text" name="email" pattern=".*[#]+.*" />
<input type="email" name="email" required />
