onSubmit, run a javascript, return true or false

[cssExp]

hello,

i want to check for errors on submitting a form, on encountering an error it runs a function and returns a false preventing form submit. I have implemented that.

[CODE="javascrip t"]
function eCheck()
{
var filePath = document.getEle mentsByName("fi leSelect");

if (filePath == '')
{
errorPath();
return false;
}

return true;
}
[/CODE]

[CODE="HTML"]
<form action="process .php" method="post" onSubmit="retur n eCheck();">
[/CODE]

When i do the above, it isn't going through the check or rather not running the function errorPath(); and returning the value as false.

but when i do the following, errorPath(); works and form submit is called off.

[CODE="HTML"]
<form action="process .php" method="post" onSubmit="error Path(); return false;">
[/CODE]

but i want it to run the error check. Any ideas on way it's not working.

Thanks in Advance.

Can you show the code for errorPath().

it only makes a div viable from hidden, nothing more is in it :)

[CODE="javascrip t"]
var filePath = document.getEle mentsByName("fi leSelect");

if (filePath == '') {
// do something
}
[/CODE]

hi ...

filePath is a node-list the way you call it - so it will never be a single value ...

use getElementById or loop through the list, or refer element with index=0 or something like that ... and compare the VALUE ;)

kind regards

Oh, I missed that. I see what the OP tried to do. You should use getElementsByNa me for radio buttons and checkboxes to loop over them.
