Hi there
I’m not a programmer but am faced with the task of trying to write a script which will check certain fields of a form, depending on which value has been selected from a drop down box. I have found many scripts that will check each field of a form but am unsure how to alter it to meet the needs of the form I’m working on.
Can anyone help?
Cheers ?
var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;
for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]];
if (obj){
switch(obj.type){
case "select-one":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == ""){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "n";
}
break;
case "select-multiple":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "n";
}
break;
case "text":
case "textarea":
if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "n";
}
break;
default:
}
if (obj.type == undefined){
var blnchecked = false;
for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){
if (obj[j].checked){
blnchecked = true;
}
}
if (!blnchecked){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "n";
}
}
}
}
if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){
//alert("Just between the two of us, form submitted!")
return true;
}else{
alert(alertMsg);
return false;
