Quick Form Validation Help - $5 for First Working Fix Posted

I have a form validation script, and I need to add validation for a checkbox called "privacy".


<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function formCheck(formobj){
// Enter name of mandatory fields
var fieldRequired = Array("Name", "EmailFrom", "Phone");
// Enter field description to appear in the dialog box
var fieldDescription = Array("Name", "Email","Phone Number");
// dialog message
var alertMsg = "Please provide us with the following information:\n";

var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;

for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired];
if (obj){
switch(obj.type){
case "select-one":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == ""){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription + "\n";
}
break;
case "select-multiple":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription + "\n";
}
break;
case "text":
case "textarea":
if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription + "\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 + "\n";
}
}
}
}

if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){
return true;
}else{
alert(alertMsg);
return false;
}
}
// -->
</script>

Hi, pcoulter

I don't know what you are validating. But in the script you provided, after

case "text":, you missed a break;

 

Hello,

By validation, I just need to make sure the checkbox is selected (for terms and conditions)?

Any help (I'm not a programmer)... Thanks.

 

Add a checkbox named privacy between the form tag.

<input type="checkbox" name="privacy" />

Folowing your script, add validaiton for the checkbox. Just check if the checkbox is selected.
