Radio Button and Text Box 1

[aarushi2001]

Hi Guys,

I have a question. I have a form, where user has to tick off 'yes' or 'no'. If a user ticks off 'yes' he is required to fill out text box 1 and if he ticks off 'no' he is required to fill out text box 2.

How can we add this feature?

So far I just have basic form validation code. I really dont know know how to do above feature ..

 

[cLFlaVA]

in your form validation code, do something like this:

if radiobutton1 is checked
validate textbox1
else if radiobutton2 is checked
validate textbox2


note: that is not real javascript. please show what you have so far (javascript and HTML form) so we can be of some meaningful help.

Hi clFlava,

Thanks for helping me out. I finally figured what I have to do. For If then thing this is the code I wrote:

function validate_form ( )
{
valid = true;

if ( ( document.contact_form.gender[0].checked == false ) && ( document.contact_form.gender[1].checked == false ) )
{
alert ( "Please choose your Gender: Male or Female" );
valid = false;
}

if (document.contact_form.gender[0].checked == true) {
if (document.contact_form.hello.value == "")
{
alert ("Please enter the hello field");
valid = false;
}
}
return valid;
}

I just need to integrate this script with my original script now. If it integration doesnt work I'll ask u clflava
