I have a form containing various fields.
See jsFiddle demo.
My aim is to enable the submit button only when the user has filled in all fields.
So far,
Thought I might chip in. Assuming as little as possible.
jQuery("input, textarea").on("keyup click", function () { // going vanilla after easy-mode attach
var sub = document.getElementById('subnewtide');
if (require_all(find_form(this))) {
sub.removeAttribute('disabled');
sub.disabled = false;
} else {
sub.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled');
sub.disabled = true;
}
});
function concat(a, b) { // concating Array-likes produces Array
var slice = [].slice; // not assuming Array.prototype access
return [].concat.call(
slice.call(a, 0),
slice.call(b, 0)
);
}
function find_form(e) { // shim input.form
if (e) do {
if (e.tagName === 'FORM') return e;
} while (e = e.parentNode);
return null;
}
function require_all(form, dontIgnoreHidden) { // looks at textareas & inputs (excluding buttons)
var inp = concat(form.getElementsByTagName('input'), form.getElementsByTagName('textarea')),
rad = {}, // not assuming Object.create
i, j,
has = {}.hasOwnProperty; // not assuming Object.prototype access
for (i = 0; i < inp.length; ++i) {
switch ((inp[i].type || '').toLowerCase()) {
default: // treat unknown like texts
case 'text':
if (!inp[i].value) return false; break;
case 'checkbox':
if (!inp[i].checked) return false; break;
case 'radio':
j = inp[i].getAttribute('name');
if (!rad[j]) rad[j] = inp[i].checked;
break;
case 'hidden':
if (dontIgnoreHidden && !inp[i].value) return false; break;
case 'button':
case 'submit':
break;
}
}
for (j in rad) if (!has || has.call(rad, j)) // not assuming hasOwnProperty
if (!rad[j]) return false;
return true;
}
