Validate form

[redbay]

I have a text field on my form that is a list/menu and i want to validate this but i opened the validate form from the behaviours section and my list/menu field was not available. Is it possible to validate this field?

For some reason the inbuily validate form behaviour does not validate list/menus. I would just call a javascript to do it

How do you want to validate it? Just check to make sure the list/menu option is chosen? Or have another action fire off when a certian option is selected?

See if something like this is what you're looking for:

<script>
function checkMe() {
	var Gm = document.form_gm
	if(Gm.myList.options[0].selected == true) {
		alert("Please make a selection");
		return false;
	}
	if(Gm.myList.options[1].selected == true) {
		alert("Are you sure you want to go to Hotmail?");
		window.location = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.hotmail.com';[/URL]
		return false;
	}
}
</script>

<form name="form_gm" onSubmit="return checkMe();">
	<select name="myList">
		<option value="">Make a choice</option>
		<option value="1">Hotmail</option>
		<option value="2">Tek-Tips</option>
	</select>
	
	<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Both,

i came across Javascript Integration Kit on the Macromedia web site, and down loaded this to my extension manager, this has a behaviour for "Selection madde in list" which was exactly what i wanted it also allowed me to customise my own error message.

Thanks for your help
