I've used the code from the link below to try and validate a credit card, however I'm not getting an alert when I submit a the wrong data in the field.
Strip spaces before performing Luhn check
my form is as follows:
<form id="myform" method="post" action="">
<p>Select credit card:
<select tabindex="11" id="CardType">
<option value="AmEx">American Express</option>
<option value="CarteBlanche">Carte Blanche</option>
<option value="DinersClub">Diners Club</option>
<option value="Discover">Discover</option>
<option value="EnRoute">enRoute</option>
<option value="JCB">JCB</option>
<option value="Maestro">Maestro</option>
<option value="MasterCard">MasterCard</option>
<option value="Solo">Solo</option>
<option value="Switch">Switch</option>
<option value="Visa">Visa</option>
<option value="VisaElectron">Visa Electron</option>
<option value="LaserCard">Laser</option>
</select>
</p>
<p>
Enter number:
<input type="text" id="CardNumber" maxlength="24" size="24" />
<input type="submit" id="submitbutton" onsubmit="Validate(Luhn);" />
</p>
</form>
Maybe I'm using the wrong code?
I came to this question looking for online card PAN validator in javascript that can be safely used to verify PAN check digit without risk of malicious intercept on server.
There are plenty of javascript Luhn implementations at http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Luhn_test_of_credit_card_numbers#JavaScript and https://sites.google.com/site/abapexamples/javascript/luhn-validation.
Here is typical implementation:
And by googling for "luhn jsfiddle" I've found another ready to use robust online validator:
http://jsfiddle.net/silvinci/84bru/light/
move
onsubmit="Validate(Luhn);"
to the form tag and pass the form
Like this - note I pass the form and find the number from the form. I also moved the test and return false/return true around
