URL validation for a request form

[Anna L]

Hi,

I have a client requirement to have a request form field "URL". Basically, asking users to enter a URL of the site they manage. Requirement is to validate the URL if it is valid. How would I do that considering I have validation criteria?

Hi Ronald, You can create a field of url and then create a client script for validating the url as below:

var g=g_form.getValue('field name');

if (g.startsWith('www') && g.endsWith('.com'))

{

alert('Validated');

}

else {

alert('Not validated');

}

Hope it helps...

Thanks,

Akhil

Hi Ronald,

After this line var g=g_form.getValue('field name'); put alert statement and check once

i.e alert(g);

You can store the valid URLs in another table and check if user is entering any of the URL listed from valid URL.

Hi Ronald,

You could send an HTTP request to the URL and see if you get back the appropriate (200) response code.

GlideHttpRequest might help.
