Hi. I need to test multiple functions..

I am having problems with a possible max amount of functions you can test inside an if statement inside another function.

I’m building a validation form and i just want to test multiple functions(each function checks each field)

Like this:

function theres_probably_a_better_way_to_do_this() {

if ( (function1()==true) && (function2()==true) &&
(function3()==true) && (function4()==true) &&
(function5()==true) && (function6()==true) &&
function_well_u_get_the_point()==true) )
return true;

it turns out, the first 6 functions tested here work, but beyond that, it’s as if javascript poops out to check if it has a return

..i wouldn’t blame it, there’s gotta be a better way to do this…

@CharlesMay 09.2006 — if (function1 == true)That's just like saying ATM machine. Try if (function1 () && function2 () && function3 () && etc())But beware, execution of the functions will stop when the first one returns false.

@deezzerauthorMay 09.2006 — It still seems to have a limit of 6 function tests for me though ...

after the 6th function, it doesn't test it, and seems to just give up testing and returns a true, when i'm explicitly making the 7th function false.

i put that 7th function in the first 6 function position, and it works..

weird..

@deezzerauthorMay 09.2006 — Here is the html with an action inside:

<form name="registerForm" method="post" action="register.php" onSubmit="return checkPass() && checkFirst() && checkLast() && checkEmail() && processEmail() && checkLog() && processLog()">

it's still weird...i dont think it's a problem with the script, because if i put processLog() where checkPass()'s position is, processLog will return correctly, and the 7th position won't.

So i have 2 questions..

1. does anyone know of a 6 function return limit?

2. is there a better method to do what i'm trying to do?

I was thinkin a switch statement could be better than all these individual functions..

Success!
