Reject specific word entered into a field in a submission form

[DaveC2019]

I have a submission form that has a field called "username". My goal is to display an error message when the following is entered "@tippytv". How can this be accomplished?

I'm not the best at JavaScript, but I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work, maybe someone can build upon it. 

<script>
document.querySelector('#caspioform').onsubmit = function(u) {
    u.preventDefault();

var username = document.getElementsById('ID_Of_Element')[0].value;

if (username === "@tippytv") {
  alert('Username Not Valid');
} else {
  this.submit();
}
}
</script>

Add this to the footer of the page.

I cannot get the script to work.  I appreciate the effort. Maybe someone can assist us to complete it. Thanks.

I apologize, but there is one bit of information I forgot to include in my question and I have added it here:

Have you disabled the "Enable HTML editor" check box from the advanced tab?

Hello @DaveC2019

I came upon this forum thread and tweak the code of @kpcollier. Can you test if the code works for you?

Here it is:

<script>

document.addEventListener('BeforeFormSubmit', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var username = document.getElementById('InsertRecordName').value;

if (username == "@tippytv") {

alert('The Username is invalid!');

} else {

this.submit();

}

})

</script>

 

Let me know if this helps.

For some reason, this code is not working on my end. However, it seems to me that the logic is correct. Any thoughts?

@Harbinger I am thinking it has something to do with '@tippytv'. Is that the exact way the username will show up as a value, @DaveC2019? With the '@' and all?

You could use triggered actions to look for a string that replaces fields contents bases on contains. This method would update the value in the table which you could display on the confirmation page.

KEYWORD_1 = @tippytv value

KEYWORD_2 = Replaced error message value

If you need the value to be displayed to user on the datapage, you could create a rule that runs when field contains the keyword, by hiding a section with HTML block message when field does not contain keyword.
