form submitted without being populated(required Fields)

Forms

Hi,

I have had well over 400 Form submissions but recently, 3 users have submitted without meeting the Required fields requirements. Also the Submit button is Hidden until a specific value is Selected (this value has not been selected) It would appear when the user arrives to the form the form is being submitted

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Chris

The only way I can think of that would allow users to submit forms without filling in required fields is if they edited the page's HTML markup. I don't believe Forms has server-side validation for required fields (although I may be wrong).

As for the submit button being hidden, that can be bypassed if JavaScript is disabled on the user's browser (either in settings, or via plugins such as NoScript, which are becoming more popular), or if there are bugs in your code. Can you post it here?

Also, what version of Forms are you on?

Hi,

I feel this issue is browser related. Its like once the user hits the page it submits. The user is not specifically bypassing the Logic on the page

I've never heard of such an issue.

What browser are those users using? Have you witnessed it first-hand? Can you post a video?

Also, it would still help if you posted any custom JavaScript you have on the form.

The error comes from Scripting being disabled on the users browser which allows for the Incomplete form to be submitted as none of the requirements are met.

Has anyone added Client or Serverside Validation? Like Noscript?

<script>Put Sample code here for execution when JavaScript is Active </script>
<noscript>Put Sample code here for execution when JavaScript is Disabled</noscript>

The required attribute is part of the HTML 5 specification and is enforced by the browser. JavaScript has nothing to do with it. Disabling JavaScript will not allow the user to submit the form without filling them in.

Here is what it looks like if you disable scripts and try to submit a form without filling in required fields:
