Validate Fields problem when fields are not visible or not loaded

[ismailc]

I have an issue with in an xslt file which loads an aspx page.

The below works fine when the fields are available & visible.

Though, when the fields are not loaded or not visible then the script does not works. I get the following error:

err: object required

function Test()
{
  VE1020User=document.getElementById('VE1020User').value;
  VE1060NewSupplier=document.getElementById('VE1060NewSupplier').value;

 if(VE1020User=="")
 {
 }
 else if(VE1060NewSupplier=="")
 {		
 }					
 else
 {
	document.getElementById('VE10999Done').click();
	document.getElementById('___Submit').click();
 }

}

Hi, it seems to like the below but that is very messy as i have long complex if statements

  VE1020User=document.getElementById('VE1020User').value;
  if(VE1020User=="")
 {
      showDialog('Warning','All Information is required (User).','warning');  
 }
[B] else if(document.getElementById('VE1060NewSupplier').value=="")[/B]
 {

You could check to see whether the fields are loaded using the typeof command - if typeof document.getEle mentById('VE106 0NewSupplier') == "undefined" or something?

you don’t need typeof for that test, just check for undefined.

if (document.getElementById('VE1060NewSupplier') === undefined)
