hi forum
i have been trying to use a way to validate my form but i was unable to use it properly
pls rectify my mistakes.
i m using input type as a button and calling a function to save the form data.
now i want to check if all fields are entered properly before submitting the form
the javascript function i m using is
-
<script language="JavaScript">
-
function formCheck(formobj){
-
// Enter name of mandatory fields
-
var fieldRequired = Array("txtddate", "txtspid");
-
// Enter field description to appear in the dialog box
-
var fieldDescription = Array("Delivery Date", "Sales Person Name");
-
// dialog message
-
var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields:\n";
-
-
var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;
-
-
for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
-
var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]];
-
if (obj){
-
switch(obj.type){
-
case "select-one":
-
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == ""){
-
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
-
}
-
break;
-
case "select-multiple":
-
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
-
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
-
}
-
break;
-
case "text":
-
case "textarea":
-
if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
-
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
-
}
-
break;
-
default:
-
}
-
if (obj.type == undefined){
-
var blnchecked = false;
-
for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){
-
if (obj[j].checked){
-
blnchecked = true;
-
}
-
}
-
if (!blnchecked){
-
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
-
if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){
-
return true;
-
}else{
-
alert(alertMsg);
-
return false;
-
}
-
}
-
</script>
-
and form details are
-
<form name="outputForm1" >
-
<td>Delivery Date</td>
-
<td><input type="text" name="txtddate" tabindex="1" size="20" ></td>
-
