Hello,

@to_knowauthorJun 17.2003 — im actually using a software called TMS which has a javascript capability, and subject to each field the handler then is used.

@JustinJun 17.2003 — if(window.document.form_name.form_box.value != ""){whatever you want it to do if it is not empty}

or

if(window.document.form_name.form_box.value== "") {whatever you want it to do if it is empty}

i hope this helps

@CharlesJun 17.2003 — [font=goergia]Justin's method will not catch fields that have nothing but white space. Dave Clark's method will and as such is a better method to use.[/font]

@JustinJun 18.2003 — will get cells that have "" nothing as a var it wi;; show up as 'null'.

if you have something in it when it loads, then put that phrais in the quotes and it will check if it is diffrent from its starting value

the otherway is better, but it is much longer
