Hi All,

I have a Submit button on the Form --When I open the form on the web , I have some validations to check if the Field is empty or not , but when I clcik it bypasses the validation even if the Fioeld is empty or with certain criteria

Please help

Here is the code behind the Submit button

var f = document.forms[0];

if (f.EntryType.checked == “Business Travel” && f.ArrivalTime.value == “”)

  {

                  alert("Please enter Arrival Time in hh:mm format")

            return false;

            }

if (f.EntryType.checked == “Business Travel” && f.DepartTime.value == “”)

{

            alert("Please enter Departure Time in hh:mm format")

            return false;

}

// if (validateDate(f.EndDate, “EndDate”) == false)

// return false;

// if (validateSelect(f.HomeLocation, “HomeLocation”) == false)

// return false;

//if (validateSelect(f.DestinationLocation, “DestinationLocation”) == false)

// return false;

if (f.Duration.value == 0)

{

alert(“Duration needs to be greater than 0 , click the Calculate Button to calculate the Duration” )

	return false;

}

if (confirm(“Are you ready to submit this form now?”))

{

f.Action.value = "Submit";

	f.submit();

}

I get the alert for Duration, but I don’t get any alerts for the previous If condition.

Please help

What happens if you change your empty strings (“”) to the keyword null?

You might find this function helpful. Checking a radio button value then becomes:

if (atGetField(“FieldName”)[0] == “Desired Value”)

Stan, I’m not sure about where to place the JavaScipt. The function goes in the JS Header right? But where does the if call go? Does it go in the field?

if(atGetField(“FieldName”)[0] == “Desired Value”)
