Javascript – alert with label (not with AlertBox)

Hy,

I have test page that inputs some information. Example: I enter name an move to Address field, function validates that in Name field is entered only text. If not alert me with textBox.

I now want to alert me with message next to text field, not in textBox so that I don’t need to press OK.

Can anyone have solution?

thanks

@grunnersNov 12.2009 — The way I've done this is to put an empty div tag where I want the message to appear e.g.

[CODE]<div id="error_output" class="bold_red"></div>[/CODE]

and then in my javascript I output an error array to this:

[CODE]var errors=new Array();

if (address==""){
errors.push("Please fill in address.<br />");
}
if(errors.length)
{
document.getElementById("error_output").innerHTML=errors.join("n") + "<br /><br />";
return false;
}
return true;[/CODE]

Not sure if this is the best way but when I was writing classic ASP this is how I did it. In asp.net a lot of the validation is built into the controls.

Of course you'd have to find a way of validating the input for text only. Try looking up charCode's and finding out what numbers are for a-z, A-Z etc

Success!
