How do I validate form input against a delimited list 1

[LyndonOHRC]

I have a text form input that I want to validate but can't get it to work. I'm getting -1 returned from the indexOf function even when the value is in the list. I'm guessing -1 is what that function returns on a no find.

My input name is dynamic so I am passing its value using the "this" variable.

Thanks

Form code:

<input class="SmallForm" 
	name="txtLic_Type#Trim(ToString(lic.CurrentRow))#" 
	value="#lic.lic_type#" 
	size="3" 
	maxlength="3" 
        onblur="IsInList(this,'001,007,425,DP,XR,N/A')">

Javascript function:

function IsInList(FormValue,ValidList){
var FormValueTrimmed=FormValue.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ""); //trim leading and trailing spaces
var i=ValidList.indexOf(FormValueTrimmed);
alert(i);
}

Without looking too much in depth at what you have, you are pulling 'this' into IsInList. 'this' is an object. You can pull 'this', but in the function IsInList, you need to grab this.value before you can do anything with it.

Or, you can send this.value as a parameter of IsInList

<input class="SmallForm" 
    name="txtLic_Type#Trim(ToString(lic.CurrentRow))#" 
    value="#lic.lic_type#" 
    size="3" 
    maxlength="3" 
        onblur="IsInList(this[!].value[/!],'001,007,425,DP,XR,N/A')">

OR

function IsInList([!]FormObj[/!],ValidList){
[!]var FormValue = FormObj.value[/!];
var FormValueTrimmed=FormValue.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ""); //trim leading and trailing spaces
var i=ValidList.indexOf(FormValueTrimmed);
alert(i);
}

<.
