Textarea Validate

[paragvshah]

Hi friends,

I have done my site in coldfusion & i want to validate a textarea field on a page that if it is blank then it should give a alert message as there is no validate parameter in coldfusion as it is for textfield.

please provide me a script.

This is kind of a Javascript deal but Here's an idea:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function validate(Arg)
{
If (Arg.texta.value==&quot;&quot
{
alert(&quot;Please Enter Text in TextArea&quot;
}
}
</script>



<form name=&quot;TestForm&quot;>
<p>
<TEXTAREA rows=2 cols=20 id=texta name=texta>
</TEXTAREA><br>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; onClick=&quot;validate(this.TestForm)&quot;>
</p>

</form>

Have fun...
