Here is some javascript checking I have for form validation. The
problem is is that it loops..... How can I make it stop ? IF I click
on the last name text box, it scolds me, saying the first_name needs
to be filled out. I click ok, and it says the last_name needs to be
filled out...i click ok and it says the first_name needs to be
filled.. wash rinse repeat !!!!
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.0
var p,i,x; if(!d) d=document;
if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++)
x=d.forms[i][n];
for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++)
x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
if(!x && document.getElementById) x=document.getElementById(n);
return x;
}
function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_valida teForm.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2];
val=MM_findObj(args[i]);
if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain
an e-mail address.\n';
} else if (test!='R') {
if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
if (val<min || max<val) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a
number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
} } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is
required.\n'; }
} if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
document.forms['form0'][nm].focus();
