I have a form that is in a pop-up window. The form submit's itself back to the main window. When I try to do validation on the form in the pop-up window I get an error sayin that my form elements are "null or not an object". If I create a simple page doing the same thing, I get no problems. but when I try and use the code for my REAL page I get this error. I am at the en of my rope!!! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Form validation in pop-up window
- Thread starter lbrandt

Try server-side form validation. The problem is that with Javascript, the form validation is done prior to submiting the query (before the information is passed for processing) such as <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onclick="processme();">
On the otherhand, if you did form validation say in PHP or CGI, you can go ahead and send the form to your main window and have a script validate it.
If you are sending your form via a GET method, you could use Javascript in the main window and get the querystring, parse the query string, and then check the data. This is definitely not a good idea and is quite combersome.
