Form Validation

[sanju]

Dear All,

i have 10 textboxes on a form, I require the following validation

1) if i fill the textbox in between(say 5th), then all textboxes
before that should be mandatory,ie Textboxes(1,2,3 ,4) should be
mandatory and rest of the textboxes should not be mandatory.

Kindly help me out..

Thanks in advance..

Well, what did you try so far?

You should make a validationrouti ne that checks excactly that.
What is the problem?
Don't you know how to get the content of a textarea?
Don't you know how to implement the logic to check the former X
textelements for emptiness?
Please state your problem clearer. :-)

"should be" or "have to be" ?

Have to be :

function validate(myForm ) {
var Cl = [];
for(var i=0, L=myForm.length ; i++)
if(myForm[i].type= 'text') Cl[Cl.length] = myForm[i];
if(Cl.length==1 0 && Cl[4].value!='') {
for(var i=0; i<5; i++)
if(Cl[i].value == '') {
alert('textfiel d : '+Cl[i].name+\nis empty !');
Cl[i].focus();
return false;
}
for(var i=5; i<Cl.length; i++) Cl[i].value=='';
}
else {
for(var i=5; i<Cl.length; i++)
if(Cl[i].value == '') {
alert('textfiel d : '+Cl[i].name+\nis empty !');
Cl[i].focus();
return false;
}
for(var i=0; i<5; i++) Cl[i].value=='';
}
return true;
}

<form onsubmit="retur n validate(this); " blah >
