Possible to check for empty input boxes when names generated dynamically?

K

KathyB

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to validate input text boxes where I
don't know the names until the page is rendered. I've got 2 validate
functions that fire with the onsubmit button of a "mini" form within
the html document.

When the Finish button is clicked, I need to check for any empty input
boxes before loading the next aspx page...but it could be no boxes or
five boxes, etc.?

I've included my html output...if you have any ideas, would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks, Kathy

(substitute your form name in here)


var l = document.formname.elements.length;
for (var i=0; i<l; i++)
{
var e = document.formname.elements;
if (e.type=="text")
{
if (isBlank(e))
{
alert("Blank!");
return false;
}
}
}
return true;

function isBlank(strObject)
{
/* Returns false if the field has any non-space characters, true if
not.
You must pass in an input (text) object (not the value) */
var index;
var myChar;

if (! strObject)
{
return true;
}
else
{
var str = strObject.value;
}

for (index = 0; index < str.length; index ++)
{
myChar = str.charAt(index);
if (myChar != " ")
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

Hey, if you got it flaunt it! If you don't, stare
at someone who does. Just don't lick the TV screen,
it leaves streaks.

Kaeli, I'm trying to modify your code (without success!) to check
document.all instead of a specific form. I now just need to see if any
input type="text" elements exist, not if they're empty. I won't bore
you with what I've tried cause it don't work!

Thanks again for your help.

Kathy
