Validate phone number

[Mylene]

Hey everyone!

 

I need to validate phone number which customers enter into the field. It should start from 031

I wonder if someone has a solution for this 

Thanks!

Hi, You may use the following script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function tel()
{
var message = document.getElementById("InsertRecordPhone").value; 

document.getElementById("InsertRecordPhone").value = (message.replace(/[^\d]/g, '')); 

var message1 = document.getElementById("InsertRecordPhone").value;
var tel =message1.substring(0,3);
if (tel!='031'){
alert("Please enter phone number which starts from 031");
return false;
}

}

document.getElementById("caspioform").onsubmit=tel;
</SCRIPT>

 

This function will prevent form from submitting if  phone starts from other numbers. Don't forget to enter your field name instead of mine.

 Hi, you might also want to check this Forum post if you want to enforce the formatting for your phone fields but not make it a require field (allow empty values):

I am working with the code in the article Potato mentioned.  The problem I found was when using it on an update it wipes out the number that was stored in the database.  Looking for a solution to that now.

Hi @Billp,

It looks like Caspio has updated the code in that article, maybe it helps to resolve your issue on Update
