Drop-down validation 2

3112005 · Jun 5, 2006

I've tried to get my drop-down menu to validate every which way, but no luck. Can someone take a look at my code and see what I need to do?

<CodeStart>

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
{
with (field)
{
if (value==null||value=="")
{alert(alerttxt);return false}
else {return true}
}
}function validate_form(thisform)
{
with (thisform)
{
if (validate_required(name,"Name must be filled out!")==false)
{name.focus();return false}

if (validate_required(company,"Company must be filled out!")==false)
{company.focus();return false}

if (validate_required(address,"Address must be filled out!")==false)
{address.focus();return false}

if (validate_required(phone,"Phone must be filled out!")==false)
{phone.focus();return false}

if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false)
{email.focus();return false}

}
}

function msg(obj) {
if (obj.selectedIndex == 1) {
alert("Please select a system!");
}
}

</script>

hey...

i just added a "return true" to the end of your msg function. try this:

Code:

function msg() {

    if (document.PAN1.reports_to[0].selected) {
        alert("Please select a SUPERVISOR!");
        return false;
    }

    if (document.PAN1.location[0].selected) {
        alert("Please select a LOCATION!");
        return false;
    }

    if (document.PAN1.sbd[0].selected) {
        alert("Please select a SBD!");
        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

note: you should try to work on indenting your code properly - it makes it a lot easier to read and debug. just something to keep in mind going forward.

That really helped out. It now checks my name, last name, title and contract field.

My Effective Date validation is still not working. I've tried many variation of the code and the onsubmit call to it, but no luck.

I'm thinking it has something to do with where it says "input", should I replace that with the name of my field box "effective_date"? That is how I had it originally.

And how should I call it in the form?

Code:

checkdate(this.(input) or
checkdate(this.(effecitve_date)

I've tried it both ways and it didn't work.
