validation

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,
I am trying to use this function to validate and I get an error because the name starts with an exclamation and has a space(which are required conventions for my shopping cart)
I tried quotation marks with no luck and have tried researching but cannot find a remedy. Any input is greatly appreciated.

function validatechoice(frmname){
if(frmname.!SKU0002 Flavor1.value==”None”){
alert( “Please choose a flavor”)
frmname.!SKU0002 Flavor1.focus()
return false
}
return true
}

……………………………..
<select name=”!SKU0002 Flavor1″>
<option selected value=”None”>Choose Flavor</option>
<option value=”BBQ”>BBQ</option>
<option value=”Honey BBQ”>Honey BBQ</option>
<option value=”Spicy BBQ”>Spicy BBQ</option>

</select>

I am still getting an error when I write it like this

function validatechoice(frmname){

if(frmname.&excl;SKU0002 Flavor1.value=="None"){

alert( "Please choose a flavor")

frmname.&excl;SKU0002 Flavor1.focus()

return false

}

return true

}?

@NedalsApr 26.2003 — I not 100% sure on this, but I do not think you can use '!' in a form name. Nor should your name contain a space. If you restrict your form names to alphanumeric chars, you will not run into problems.

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately it is part of the naming convention for my shopping cart they require that I put"!" before the sku and a space then a short description.

I tried to get help with their e-support and they don't feel that it's their job to teach me js so I'm trying to resolve it on my own.
