Form validation
From: Rajkumar
Date Posted: 4/24/2002 3:57:00 AM

In a form I have many dates and would like to validate all of them when the
form is submitted.

The date validation function is passed three parameters: Date value, form
number, field number.

It works fine for a form number 0, field number 3 using the following:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Save&quot; class=&quot;Button&quot;
ONCLICK=&quot;return validate(formname.datefield.value,0,3);&quot;>

How can I make it work for all the date fields.

One way is that I make one function per Form and then call date validation
function for each date field.

Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Raj

make one big function that does it all :

function checkForm()
{
if (!validate(formname.datefield.value,0,3))return false
if (!validate(formname.datefield2.value,0,3))return false
// same with all other fields

return true;// if no return false is done this line is executed and says the submit is fine.
}

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Save&quot; class=&quot;Button&quot;
ONCLICK=&quot;return checkForm()&quot;>

I hope this helps. Gary
