Validation no longer working...old version though. :(

The form validation on an old form has stopped working. It's an old classic ASP website though so I can't use the extension anymore on it but I wondered if you could spot anything obvious...

Here is the form tag info:

<form action="music-events-search.asp" method="post" name="eventsearchform" id="eventsearchform" onsubmit="WAValidateRQ(document.forms[0].sdate,'- Please enter a start date.',document.forms[0].sdate,0,false,'text');WAValidateRQ(document.forms[0].edate,'- Please enter an end date.',document.forms[0].edate,0,false,'text');WAValidateDT(document.forms[0].sdate,'- Invalid date.',true,/.*/,'','','',false,/.*/,'','','',document.forms[0].sdate,0,false);WAValidateDT(document.forms[0].edate,'- Invalid date.',true,/.*/,'','','',false,/.*/,'','','',document.forms[0].edate,0,false);WAValidateRT(document.forms[0].k,document.forms[0].k.value,'- Invalid content in your keyword search.','%7B|%7B, %7D|%7D, %5B|%5B, %5D|%5D, //|//, :|:, ;|;, (|(, )|), =|=, +|+, _|_, http|http, http|http, %5Burl|%5Burl, /url%5D|/url%5D, %25|%25, $|$, #|#, %5Blink|%5Blink, /link%5D|/link%5D',document.forms[0].k,0,false);WAAlertErrors('The following errors were found','Correct invalid entries to continue',true,false,false);return document.MM_returnValue">

And here is the client validation code:

I just need a temporary fix for now, if possible.
Thank you

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

Thank you Jason.

The problem would have started when you added the yahoo search form.

when the validation is created, it uses the form index to refer to the form in the javascript code. when it was created it used index 0 because it was the only form on the page:
document.forms[0].

the yahoo search form has since been added, and it occurs before the events form, so now the yahoo form is index 0 and the events search for is index 1.

in the onchange event for the events search form, change each instance of:
document.forms[0]

to:
document.forms[1].

onsubmit="WAValidateRQ(document.forms[0].sdate,'- Please enter a start date.',document.forms[1].sdate,0,false,'text');WAValidateRQ(document.forms[1].edate,'- Please enter an end date.',document.forms[1].edate,0,false,'text');WAValidateDT(document.forms[1].sdate,'- Invalid date.',true,/.*/,'','','',false,/.*/,'','','',document.forms[1].sdate,0,false);WAValidateDT(document.forms[1].edate,'- Invalid date.',true,/.*/,'','','',false,/.*/,'','','',document.forms[1].edate,0,false);WAValidateRT(document.forms[1].k,document.forms[1].k.value,'- Invalid content in your keyword search.','%7B|%7B, %7D|%7D, %5B|%5B, %5D|%5D, //|//, :|:, ;|;, (|(, )|), =|=, +|+, _|_, http|http, http|http, %5Burl|%5Burl, /url%5D|/url%5D, %25|%25, $|$, #|#, %5Blink|%5Blink, /link%5D|/link%5D',document.forms[0].k,0,false);WAAlertErrors('The following errors were found','Correct invalid entries to continue',true,false,false);return document.MM_returnValue"

Thanks man. Fixed it.

On the same website, I have this problem where the time isn't being displayed from an MSSQL datetime field via the following code:

<%IF FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) >= "00:00" Then %><%ELSE%>
<%IF FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) >= "11:59" Then %>
<h2><%= FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) %> pm</h2>
<%ELSE%>
<h2><%= FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) %> am</h2>
<%End IF%>
<%End IF%>

Here's an event that has this problem:
http://www.tmsa.org.uk/scottish-music-event.asp?e=2085&b=1

The "tmsastartdate" for this event is stored in the datetime field as:
03/12/2014 21:00:00

I appreciate that's above and beyond but I know you're good at spotting things like this. Appreciate it.
NJ

EDIT: Hmm, looking at the code I'm not sure what I was trying to achieve apart from displaying AM or PM. Changed it to this:

<%IF FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) >= "11:59" Then %>
<h2><%= FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) %> pm</h2>
<%ELSE%>
<h2><%= FormatDateTime((rsEVENT.Fields.Item("tmsastartdate").Value), vbShortTime) %> am</h2>
<%End IF%>

...and it seems to have resolved it.

glad to hear it is working.

Going back to the original validation error, can you see any reason why it works in IE but Google Chrome is reporting an invalid date?
http://www.tmsa.org.uk/music-events-scotland.asp

Thank you Jason.
NJ

Looks like chrome doesn't like the dd/mm/yyyy format, if I select a date with the day below 12 it works, chrome only fails if the day is above 12. not sure why that is a problem in chrome, but i suggest changing the date picker format to mm/dd/yyyy instead.

Can I use the WebAssist datepicker on this page considering that it's classic ASP?
I have no idea how to change the format because it's an old datepicker from 2006 that I must have found on the web somewhere and I can't see any support for it. It's basically a .js file, which I attach should you be able to spot how I change the format.

Thank you.
NJ

Yes, the web assist date picker can be used on that page.
