Test on multiple fields and update textbox based on result

[kiwieur]

Hi Team,

I am using this code to try and check if any of 8 textbox values = 2 and if so update a textbox with the letter Y and if not update with the letter N

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function CheckFail()
{

      if ( document.Entry.Check1.value == 2||document.Entry.Check2.value == 2||document.Entry.Check3.value == 2||document.Entry.Check4.value == 2||document.Entry.Check5.value == 2||document.Entry.Check6.value == 2||document.Entry.Check7.value == 2||document.Entry.Check8.value == 2)
      {
              document.forms['Entry'].elements['txtFailure'].value = "Y";
      }

      else 
      {
             document.forms['Entry'].elements['txtFailure'].value = "N";
}

//-->

</script>

However it doies not seem to be working could someone please have a look and let me know what I am doing wrong please


Regards

just a guess
use document.Entry.Check1.value == "2" instead of
document.Entry.Check1.value == 2

It's OK I have found another way to do this with the following code

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkBoxes(){
  boxArr = new Array("selCheck1", "selCheck2", "selCheck3", "selCheck4", "selCheck5", "selCheck6", "selCheck7", "selCheck8")
  dataFound = "No"
  for (x=0; x<boxArr.length; x++){
    boxVal = eval ("document.frmEnterRecord." + boxArr[x] + ".value")
    if (boxVal == "2"){
      dataFound = "Yes"
    }
  }
  document.frmEnterRecord.txtFailure.value = dataFound
}
</script>

and used this to trigger the event

<select name="selCheck8" id="selCheck8" onchange="checkBoxes()">

Word of the wise... don't use eval(). You should avoid ever using that. Using your code example above, you can do:

boxVal = document.frmEnterRecord[boxArr[x]].value;
