validate input field

[realzahed]

Hi, I want to validate the input field 'putime' in the form because even if the 'putime' input box is empty the result is calculated and nightSurcharges is also added to the cost. So I want to validate 'putime' when it is empty.

function TaxiFare() {
// calculates taxi fare based upon miles travelled
// and the hour of the day in military time (0-23).

var baseFare = 14;
var costPerMile = 7.00;
var nightSurcharge = 20.50; // 9pm to 6am, every night //its flat 20.50 and not per mile

var milesTravelled = Number(document.getElementById("miles").value) || 0;
if ((milesTravelled < 1) || (milesTravelled > 200)) {
alert ("You must enter 1 - 200 miles");
document.getElementById("miles").focus();
return false;
}

var pickupTime = Number(document.getElementById("putime").value) || 0;
if ((pickupTime < 0) || (pickupTime > 23) || (pickupTime==null)) {  // note the hours are 0-23.  There is no 24 hour, midnight is 0 hours
alert ("The time must be 0-23 hours");
document.getElementById("putime").focus();
return false;
}

var cost = baseFare + (costPerMile * milesTravelled);
// add the nightSurcharge to the cost if it is after
// 8pm or before 6am
if (pickupTime >= 21 || pickupTime < 6) {
cost += nightSurcharge;
}
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Your taxi fare is: $. "  + cost.toFixed(2);
}

And here is the form

<form>
Miles for Journey <input type="text" id = "miles" required><br>
Pickup Time <input type = text id = "putime" required><br><br>
<input type="button" value="Calculate Fare" onclick="TaxiFare()">
<input type="reset" value="Clear"><br><br>
<span id = "result"></span>
</form>

the script isn't working after i insert the above code even after i press the Calculate Fare button.
I changed the value from textbox id to "putime"

Dont Put the Text id Word ,Instead of give the TextBox id is there in ASP .net give that one............ .

[realzahed]

sorry but i don't understand what u said.

[Tippesh]

Give the TextBox id Name...........

[realzahed]

no it isn't validating the time field.

All you need to do is check that putime is not empty.

You can add this condition to line 27, but you will need to get the actual value from the text box as you did in line 17, but without converting to a number.

There's no indication that the OP is using ASP.NET. In fact, it seems certain that it isn't being used and that this isn't the issue if you read the question again.

ok i got it by adding (pickupTime == "") to line 27. Thank you acoder!
