I have a form on a page. On the form there is a field named Birthyear. I need to figure out the following in javascript:
When a value between 1900-2012 is entered into the field, the form are accepted. If value is not between 1900-2012, the Birthyear text box background color turn yellow.
Does anyone know how to achieve this?
My HTML is as follow:
</head><body>
<div id="div1">
<form name="myForm" action="demo_form.php" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
Username: <input type="text" id="username" name="username"><br>
Birth Year: <input type="text" id="birthYear" name="birthYear"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
<div id="div2">
<img src="cat.jpg" id="im1" name="image1"/>
<img src="dog.jpg" id="im2" name="image2"/>
<img src="fish.jpg" id="im3" name="image3" class='double'/>
</div>
</body></html>
My JS is as follow:
document.getElementById("username").focus();
function validateForm(){
var x=document.forms["myForm"]["username"].value;
if (x==""){
alert("Username Required!");
document.getElementById("username").focus();
}
var dob = document.forms["myForm"]["birthYear"];
var y = dob.value;
if(isNaN(dob)){
alert('must be a number');
dob.select();
return false;
}
}
