Still in the process of developing my "mvc/social" PHP project, I am currently focusing on securing user input for the status message. I have created both a PHP and JavaScript function for this purpose, but it seems like the JavaScript function is not being recognized when called.
I have tested the same JavaScript file with another 'project' and confirmed that it works without any issues. However, I am facing difficulty in accessing it for this specific project!
The view file can be found at
(project root)/views/afterloginview.phpWhile the JavaScript file is located at
(project root)/public/js/application.jsIn the afterloginview.php file, the following code is present:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src ="public/js/application.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<form id = "form_state" action="" method ="POST">
<input type="text" name="stato"/>
<input type="submit" value="Aggiorna Stato"onclick="ok_state();"/>
</form>
Within the application.js file, the following code is present:
var NotAdmitted = /[\|\+=<>()%\*]|(!=)|-{2}/; //
function ok_state(){
elem = document.forms[0]["stato"].value;
if(elem == null || elem.length <= 1 || elem.length > 140){
alert("Aggiornamento di lunghezza non consentita!Lo stato non verrà aggiornato");
return false;
}
if(NotAdmitted.test(elem)==true){
alert("Hai usato caratteri non consentiti,impossibile aggiornare!");
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
I have already attempted using ../public/js/application.js, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue.
Upon checking the console, I encountered the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of undefined.
Despite feedback from a user confirming that the code is functional, I am still unable to identify the problem. What could be causing this issue?
