JavaScript and SelectBox, Corrected!

To validate what the user has entered in a Select field I use this code:

frm=window.document.forms[0];

var idx=frm.DocArea.selectedIndex;

var val=frm.DocArea.options[idx].text;

var tmpVal;

if(idx== -1 || idx==0 )

{

alert(“Please select Area.”);

frm.DocArea.focus();

return false;

}

tmpVal = val

alert(tmpVal)

// f.submit();

As seen elsewhere on this site :slight_smile:

Problem solved. If the user has selected the first entry in the list the idx is zero!

I will correct the code.

This code works:

frm=window.document.forms[0];

var idx = frm.DocArea.selectedIndex;

if(idx== -1)

{

alert(“Please select Area.”);

frm.DocArea.focus();

return false;

}

var val=frm.DocArea.options[idx].text;

if(val==“”)

{

alert("Please select Area.");

 frm.DocArea.focus();

 return false;

}

// f.submit();
