Forms (contact, login) required elements, submit not working without back-end

Question

Hello, I am trying to build the login and contact form using asp classic and I have faced some errors. As far as I understand the PHP file (ex. sendmail.php) is always needed. Is not possible to do the validation in the front end only (wihout the php file)? I am trying to have an action in the form that redirects to other url, but it is not working. For example using login 1.html, adding required to the username and password and using the div

Hello,

This is Definitely Possible and the include/sendemail.php File is not needed when you are trying to use a different functionality altogether. It is also possible to just Validate the Form on the frontend using Javascript by simply using the Default Validation Plugin Setup from here:

Example, paste the following code at the bottom of the Page after the js/functions.js JS File Linking:


	jQuery("#login-form").validate();

Also, there is not need to use the .contact-widget DIV since this will turn the form into a AJAX Form which will not redirect the Page.

Hope this Helps!

Thanks a lot for the clear reply. I tested and it worked perfectly. As a suggestion, maybe you could have that as one of your examples of the forms. It could be quite useful for other users of the template. Still this blog is also useful to keep track of that issue.

Best regards and thanks
