data validation

[mbwmbk]

I have a form which generate the input box dynamically according to the data in the database. When
submitting the form (js function), how can I check if the input box is filled?

if not rs1.EOF then
Response.Write &quot;<TABLE align=center frame=&quot;&quot;below&quot;&quot; cellPadding=1 cellSpacing width=600>&quot;
count=0

while not rs1.EOF
count=count+1
Response.Write &quot;<TR border = 0>&quot;& vbCrLf
'min
if rs1.Fields(20)&&quot;&quot;<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Write &quot;<td><input id=lbmin&quot;&count&&quot; name=lbmin&quot;&count&&quot; value=&quot;&quot;&quot;&rs1.fields(20)&&quot;&quot;&quot; ></td>&quot;
else
Response.Write &quot;<td width=80>&nbsp;</td>&quot; & vbCrLf
end if

'ave
if rs1.Fields(21)&&quot;&quot;<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Write &quot;<td><input id=lbave&quot;&count&&quot; name=lbave&quot;&count&&quot; value=&quot;&quot;&quot;&rs1.fields(21)&&quot;&quot;&quot; ></td>&quot;
else
Response.Write &quot;<td width=80>&nbsp;</td>&quot; & vbCrLf
end if

'max
if rs1.Fields(19)&&quot;&quot;<>&quot;&quot; then
Response.Write &quot;<td><input id=lbmax&quot;&count&&quot; name=lbmax&quot;&count&&quot; value=&quot;&quot;&quot;&rs1.fields(19)&&quot;&quot;&quot; ></td>&quot;
else
Response.Write &quot;<td width=80>&nbsp;</td>&quot; & vbCrLf
end if


Response.Write &quot;</TR>&quot;& vbCrLf

rs1.MoveNext
wend
Response.Write &quot;</table>&quot;& vbCrLf

Response.Write &quot;<input type=hidden name=count value=&quot;&count&&quot;>&quot;& vbCrLf
rs1.Close()
%>

if( 0 < document.myform.myeditbox.value.length){

alert(&quot;edit box has some value in it&quot;

All the input boxes are dynamically generated. For example, in one form, item1 has min, ave and max value, item2 has only min and ave value; and item3 has only min value. (and there may have n-number on item in one form, and various combination of values(min, ave, max) for each item.). How can I reference those input boxes in the jscript before submitting the form?

The best way is to use the form element array...

message = &quot;&quot;
for (x=0; x < document.myForm.elements.length; x++){
if (document.myForm.elements[x].value.length == 0){
message += &quot;\n - &quot; + document.myForm.elements[x].name
}
}

if (message != &quot;&quot{
alert (&quot;Please fill the following:&quot; + message)
}
else{
document.myForm.submit()

For example your lbmincounter input text:

try{
var i = 0;
while(1>0){/allways
// you could allso fill an array with the value and do the checking later.
if(document.getElementById('lbmin' + i.toString()).value==&quot;&quot{
//do something
}
i++;
}
}catch(e){}
