Help With Validating Script

[ldiuf]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone can take a look at the code below and help me to get it to work.
What I'm trying to do is validate a email and password that gets submitted from a form by checking for WHOLE Words instead of just single characters.



<script>
<!-- Check the from is filled in correctly before submitting -->
<!-- Hide from older browsers...

//Function to check form is filled in correctly before submitting

var badPass=new Array("Pass","Password")
var badEmail=new Array("yahoo","aol","msn","hotmail")

function CheckForm () {

var errorMsg = "";
var errorMsgLong = "";

{
var theInfo=document.frmRegister.Password.value;
var isGood=false;
var curChar;
for (i=0; i<theInfo.length; i++) {
curChar = theInfo.charAt(i);
for (j=0; j<badEmail.length; j++) {
if (curChar == badEmail[j]) {
isGood = true; break;
}
}
if (isGood)
break;
}
if (isGood) {
}
else {
errorMsg += "\nE-mail Host \t- You E-mail Address Must Be From A Valid Place Of Business\. Yahoo \, MSN \, Hotmail \, Etc\.\n\t\tIs Not Acceptable\.";
}
}
{
var theInfo=document.frmRegister.Password.value;
var isGood=false;
var curChar;
for (i=0; i<theInfo.length; i++) {
curChar = theInfo.charAt(i);
for (j=0; j<badPass.length; j++) {
if (curChar == badPass[j]) {
isGood = true; break;
}
}
if (isGood)
break;
}
if (isGood) {
}
else {
errorMsg += "\nPassword \t- You You Must Have A Unique Password\.\n\t\tPass \, Password \, and Common Words Are Not Acceptable\.";
}
}

//If there is a problem with the form then display an error
if ((errorMsg != "") || (errorMsgLong != "")){
msg = "_____________________________________________________________________\n\n";
msg += "Your Registration has not been submitted because there are problem(s) with the form.\n";
msg += "Please correct the problem(s) and re-submit the form.\n";
msg += "_____________________________________________________________________\n\n";
msg += "The following field(s) need to be corrected: -\n";

errorMsg += alert(msg + errorMsg + "\n" + errorMsgLong);
return false;

}
}
// -->
</script>



Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Larry

Try this...
var badPass=new Array("pass","password");
var badEmail=new Array("yahoo","aol","msn","hotmail") ;

function CheckForm() {

var errorMsg = "";
var errorMsgLong = "";
var theInfo=document.frmRegister.Password.value;

if (theInfo.length > 0) {
for (idx=0;idx < badPass.length;idx++) {
reg = new RegExp(badPass[idx]);
if (reg.test(theInfo,"i")) {
errorMsg +="\nPassword \t- You Must Have A Unique Password.\n\t\tPass, Password, and Common Words Are Not Acceptable.";
break;
}
}
} else {
errorMsg += "\nPassword \t- Required";
}

theInfo=document.frmRegister.Email.value;
if (theInfo.length > 0) {
for (idx=0;idx<badEmail.length;idx++) {
reg = new RegExp(badEmail[idx]);
if (reg.test(theInfo,"i")) {
errorMsg += "\nE-mail Host \t- You E-mail Address Must Be From A Valid Place Of Business. Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, Etc.\n\t\tare Not Acceptable.";
break;
}
}
} else {
errorMsg+= "\nEmail Address \t- Required";
}

if ((errorMsg != "") || (errorMsgLong != "")){
msg = " _____________________________________________________________________\n\n";
msg += "Your Registration has not been submitted because there are problem(s) with the form.\n";
msg += "Please correct the problem(s) and re-submit the form.\n";
msg += " _____________________________________________________________________\n\n";
msg += "The following field(s) need to be corrected: -\n";
alert(msg + errorMsg + "\n" + errorMsgLong);
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
