Form Validation Dilemma

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 06.2007

My form has a handful of fields that sit it hidden divs or hidden paragraphs. I want to loop through all the select boxes verifying the selectedIndex is not 0 and also loop through the text boxes making sure they are not empty. However, I want to ignore the fields that are currently hidden. Any thoughts?

The first thing that springs to mind would be to set a flag for each field, then use those flags in your validation function to decide whether to ignore or not.

Success!
