Anyhow, I'm working on an order form sent through JMail, and I'm stuck on validating radio buttons. All fields in the form are supposed to be mandatory, and I have been able to get the Javascript to validate all fields apart from the radio buttons. Basicly I have 2 unchecked buttons (different payment methods) in the same array in the form [code] <input type="radio" name="payment" Value="PF" >PF <input type="radio" name="payment" Value="BG">BG [/code] The script I'm using to validate the rest looks like: [code] <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin function verify() { var themessage = "Please fill in the following fields "; if (document.form.firstname.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Förnamn"; } if (document.form.lastname.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Efternamn"; } if (document.form.adress.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Adress"; } if (document.form.zip.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Postnummer"; } if (document.form.city.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Ort"; } if (document.form.email.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - E-mail"; } if (document.form.phone.value=="") { themessage = themessage + " - Telefonnummer"; } if (document.form.approve.checked==false) { themessage = themessage + " - Godkännande"; } //alert if fields are empty and cancel form submit if (themessage == "Please fill in the following fields ") { document.form.submit(); } else { alert(themessage); return false; } } // End --> </script> [/code] but I don't know how to check that one of the two radio buttons is checked. I could go for the easy solution and have one pre-checked, but I'd prefer to have them both unchecked. I did try adding something like: [code] } if (document.form.payment.checked==false) { themessage = themessage + " - Betalning"; } [/code] which naturally didn't work as one of the buttons will false at all times. The problem is that I can't really write javascript from scratch, but just manipulate and tweak scripts I find.. Is there an easy solution to this? I have googled quite a but but I guess I'm asking the wrong questions cause the results I get is not really helping (most are too complex or dealing with the vaules of the buttons rather than the true/false problem) Thanks Loading...
