Hello all,
I’ve been working on developing a form for a customer that uses php throughout. I’m still pretty new to javascript and i’m using Dreamweaver to plugin the validation scripting for me automatically. So far i haven’t been able to get it working. ideally, i’d like to prompt an alert box if the fields aren’t filled in and another one if the terms and conditions check box isn’t checked.
The function DoTheCheck() that checks the terms and conditions checkbox is working, but the other validatoin (that dreamweaver created for me) isn’t working. I can leave all the fields blank and the form will still process…. what am i missing?
