    Selection based validation

    I want to check information is entered in the form with javascrip,
    based on a radio button or a checkbox. For example I have 2 radio
    buttons Yes and No. If "Yes" is click then check if the fname field is
    filled. If "No" is checked, check if the lname was filled. Of course i
    also need a vlidation for the status (yes or no) it self.
    Thank.

      Hi,

      I would advise you to code that in Javascript.
      :P

              Hi Alex,

              I was being just a little ironical.
              I did that because I thought your question was very vague.
              Being ironical is not nice, so I'll make it up to you.
              :-)

              Two things:
              1) Why I think your question is bad.
              2) the solution to your problem (assuming I understood well).

              1) Why is your question bad?
              Because it was not clear what it is you cannot do.
              Do you expect this newsgroup to give you some examplecode? Or is there some
              particular thing you do not understand?

              What is it that you cannot do?
              Or what is it that doesn't work?
              Do you not know how to get the state of a radiobuttun?
              Do you not know how to use an if/else statement?

              2) solution.
              Because I am in a lot better mood than yesterday, here is the code to check
              what you want. :-)
              I wrote is quit elaborately, to make clear how things work (I hope).

              -------------------------------------

              <html>
              <body>

              <script type="text/javascript">
              function checkIt(){
              var YesChecked = false;
              var NoChecked = false;

              var theFormRef = document.forms. myForm;

              if (theFormRef.myR adioButton[0].checked) {
              YesChecked=true ;
              if (theFormRef.fna me.value.length >0) {
              theFormRef.subm it();
              } else {
              alert ("You forgot to fill fname!");
              }
              }
              if (theFormRef.myR adioButton[1].checked) {
              NoChecked=true;
              if (theFormRef.lna me.value.length >0) {
              theFormRef.subm it();
              } else {
              alert ("You forgot to fill lname!");
              }
              }

              // checked anything?
              if ((!YesChecked) && (!NoChecked)){
              alert ("please check yes or no!");
              }
              }

              </script>
