I am making a form that asks three unrelated questions which display text after clicking the submit button.
All three questions contain an if-else statement; two questions are text input and one is a selection box, followed by the submit button.
I can get the form to display, but when I enter data and submit the data, a blank form is returned instead of the text I wanted (I am not trying to display an 'alert' message).
This is what I have so far:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Questions</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function questions()
{
var hours, age, timeday;
hours = document.form1.workhours.value;
hours = pasrseInt(hours);
age = document.form1.years.value;
age = parseInt(age);
timeday = document.form1.dayofweek.value;
if (hours >= 40)
{
document.write("Wow, what a hard worker!<br>");
}
else
{
document.write("Better work harder!<br>");
}
if (age >= 65)
{
document.write("You are Eligible for retirement benefits<br>");
}
else
{
document.write("Sorry, no benefits yet.<br>");
}
if (timeday == "Sunday");
{
document.write("No need to pay the meter!<br>");
}
else
{
document.write("Better get some quarters!<br>");
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1">
How many hours have you worked? <input type="text" name="workhours"><br>
How old are you? <input type="text" name="years"><br>
What day is it today?
<select name="dayofweek">
<option value="???">-Select a Day-</option>
<option value="Sunday">Sunday</option>
<option value="Monday">Monday</option>
<option value="Tuesday">Tuesday</option>
<option value="Wednesday">Wednesday</option>
<option value="Thursday">Thursday</option>
<option value="Friday">Friday</option>
<option value="Saturday">Saturday</option>
</select></br>
<p>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" onClick="questions(); return false;">
</form>
</body>
