Form Validating

Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 12:54 am

Doing a validation check, this form is giving a error due to no action="" in the form, now I tried adding a action="#" but still didn't fix the error, whats the proper way of correcting this?

Code:

<tr>


 <td class="trow2" width="66%" align="center"><form onsubmit="ShoutBox.postShout(); $('shout_data').value = ''; return false;">Shout: <input type="text" id="shout_data" size="50" /> - <input type="submit" value="Shout Now!" id="shouting-status" /></form></td>


 <td class="trow2" width="12%" align="center">Options</td>


</tr>

Also having this same problem with a href as follows:

Code:

<tr class="thead">


<td><strong>Forum stats</strong></td>


<td style="text-align:right;"><a href="" onclick="return prostats_reload();">Reload <img src="http://www.underground-planet.com/images/prostats/ps_reload.gif" style="vertical-align:middle;" alt="" /></a></td>


</tr>

I get no error, when i type action="#" in a form and if you don't need an href-atrribute, then don't write it in the a-tag.

Yeah, a just as of now found out the problem after an hour of testing.
This file required me to uninstall it and make core edits then make the reinstall for it to work, because once the file is activated and installed, all core edits will now be seen, unless re-installed.

Thanks for the reply though. Smile
