JavaScript to only allow certain digits, and not submit if condition isn't met
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPPJavaScript to only allow certain digits, and not submit if condition isn't met
I have a Contract ID form field:
<div class="form-group">
<label>Old Contract ID</label>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-hashtag"></i></span>
<input name="Contract.OldContractNumber" oninput="javascript: if (this.value.length > this.maxLength) this.value = this.value.slice(0, this.maxLength);" type="number" class="form-control" maxlength="9" required>
</div>
</div>
I would like to add a piece of JavaScript that allows numbers only, that allows only 9 digits, and that only submits if 9 digits are there. Any less than 9 digits should not allow submission. Can someone help me achieve this?
As you can see, I have
oninput="javascript: if (this.value.length > this.maxLength) this.value = this.value.slice(0, this.maxLength);" type="number" maxlength="9" This allows 9 digits, but I'm not sure how to do it so that it does not submit if it is under 9 digits.– Dana Lagnud

Is there any reason you’re using an
oninput attribute? Inline event handlers like onclick or oninput are not recommended. They are an obsolete, hard-to-maintain and unintuitive way of registering events. Always use addEventListener instead. Then you may use preventDefault.– Xufox

oninput
onclick
oninput
addEventListener
preventDefault
@Xufox no ultimate reason, just using it to test at the moment

Hook into the
onsubmit handler for the form, and test if the input value is less than 9 digits, and call event.preventDefault(); if it is. Plenty of tutorials online.– FrankerZ

onsubmit
event.preventDefault();

let input = document.getElementById('number')
let submitButton = document.getElementById('submit')
let pattern = /^d{9}$/
function checkValue () {
if (pattern.test(input.value)) {
submitButton.removeAttribute('disabled')
} else {
submitButton.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled')
}
}
<form>
<input type="number" oninput="checkValue()" id="number">
<button type="submit" id="submit" disabled>Submit</button>
</form>
For preventing form submission for invalid input (less than 9 digits) use this:
document.getElementById("formID").addEventListener("submit", function(e){
var input = document.getElementsByName("Contract.OldContractNumber")[0].value;
if(input.length<9){
e.preventDefault();
}
});
<div class="form-group">
<form id="formID">
<label>Old Contract ID</label>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-hashtag"></i></span>
<input type="text" name="Contract.OldContractNumber" id="ContractOldContractNumber" maxlength="9" required>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<p/>
<span id="result"></span>
<script>
document.getElementById("formID").addEventListener("submit", function(e){
var input = document.getElementsByName("Contract.OldContractNumber")[0].value;
if(input.length<9){
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "<b style='color: red;'>Input must be 9 digits!</b>";
} else {
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "";
}
});
</script>
You can use the following code to prevent non-numeric input (from frans' answer to this StackOverflow question.
<div class="form-group">
<label>Old Contract ID</label>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-hashtag"></i></span>
