Validating text box

[ims225]

Hi,
i'm jus trying to validate my text box with the given given user name and password... i hav jus predefined the values for username and password... help me how to validate it...

[actionAction]

This isn't enough information to go on, what server side language are you using, what is the name of your text box?

OK i'l elaborate my question... i'm using java script for validation n the name of the function is validate() below is the coding for that
function validate()
{
var txt1 = document.getElementsByName('username');
var txt2 = document.getElementByName('pass');
var hasChecked = false;
if (txt1 == betting && txt2 == bet1234)
{
hasChecked = true;
break;
}
if (hasChecked == false)
{
alert("Invalid User Name and Password");
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>

and my form is as follows
<form name="form1" onSubmit="return_validate()" action="admin.asp" >
<tr>
<td width="90" align="right"><span class="Estilo8">User Name: </span></td>
<td width="131"><div align="right">
<input type="text" name="username" size="16" >
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right"><span class="Estilo8">Password: </span></td>
<td><div align="right">
<input name="pass" type="password" size="16">
</div></td> </tr>
<tr>

<td></td><td><div align="right">

<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit">


my question how can i validate this with the given user name and pasword and should have to move to the next page... pl help

[actionAction]

change "return_validate()" to "return validate()"

The space is important.

1. it's getElementsByName not getElementByName
2. you need to enclose the comparison values of txt1 and txt2 in quotes
3. your if statement for hasChecked is improperly done, you don't have an else condition defined
4. your function is not properly closed
5. this is not a Server Side question it's a Client Side question so I'm moving it

You know anyone will be able to view your page source and see the correct username and password right?
