I'm using this solution to feed inputs and image submissions from a form into a Google Sheet and Folder on Google Drive.

I need to validate a few of the fields - just requiring them to be filled out. Unfortunately, the solution I'm using uses a type="button" to submit the form instead of type="submit" and I'm not quite adept enough at Javascript to change that.

However, I found this solution for validating a form with a type="button" submit - but it's not working. With that implemented my form just does nothing - doesn't validate, doesn't submit.

This specifically is the bit of Javascript I'm struggling to get working:

     //Validate Form
function() {
$("#myForm").validate({
    rules: {
        name: "required"
    },
    messages: {
        name: "Please specify your name"

    }
})

$('#btn').click(function() {
    $("#myForm").valid();
});
};

It works fine in normal HTML in my browser - but doesn't work in Google Apps, so I'm assuming there's some comma or something in the wrong place since it seems Google has different JS requirements?

The rest of my code and a link to the sheet/form/script are below:

Form.html

<body>
  <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
  </script>
  <script>
    // Javascript function called by "submit" button handler,
    // to show results.
    function updateOutput(resultHtml) {
      toggle_visibility('inProgress');
      var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
      outputDiv.innerHTML = resultHtml;
    };


    // From blog.movalog.com/a/javascript-toggle-visibility/
    function toggle_visibility(id) {
      var e = document.getElementById(id);
      if (e.style.display == 'block')
        e.style.display = 'none';
      else
        e.style.display = 'block';
    }'

   //Toggle Secondary Categories
   $(function() {
      $(".box").not("." + this.id).hide(); $("." + this.id).show();
    });

    //Calculate Split
    function check(split)
    {
    var split=document.forms[0].split.value
    var amount=document.forms[0].amount.value
    var tip = (amount*split) 
    document.forms[0].manufacturer.value=tip 
    var tip2 = (amount-tip)
    document.forms[0].pace.value=tip2
    };

   //Validate Form
    function() {
    $("#myForm").validate({
        rules: {
            name: "required"
        },
        messages: {
            name: "Please specify your name"

        }
    })

    $('#btn').click(function() {
        $("#myForm").valid();
    });
    };
  </script>

    <!-- Form div will be hidden after form submission -->

Based from this SO question, in type="button" buttons will not submit a form and they don't do anything by default. They're generally used in conjunction with JavaScript as part of an AJAX application while type="submit" buttons will submit the form they are in when the user clicks on them, unless you specify otherwise with JavaScript.

I suggest to use type="submit" instead of type="button" since it will submit the form when clicked when it's inside a form element as stated in this documentation.

Hope this helps!
