Validation in a jump menu 2

MikeDee · Aug 13, 2001

Hi everybody, I'm trying to have validation in a jump menu.

So when you submit without selecting an option
alert("please select an option in the menu&quot

;

when an option has been selected

alert("Its good&quot

;}

Below is what is trying to do that but doesn't work.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_jumpMenu(targ,selObj,restore){ //v3.0
eval(targ+".location='"+selObj.options[selObj.selectedIndex].value+"'&quot

;
if (restore) selObj.selectedIndex=0;
}

function feeed()
{
if (document.theform.menu1.value == "&quot

{alert("please select an option in the menu&quot

;}
else
{alert("Its good&quot

;}
}

//-->
</script>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<form name="theform" method="post" action="" onchange="feeed";>
<p>
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option>please select</option>
<option value="opt1.htm">opt 1</option>
<option value="opt2.htm">opt 2</option>
<option value="opt3.htm">opt 3</option>
</select>
</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p></form>
<p>  </p>
</body>
</html>

hie
function feeed()
{
if (document.theform.menu1.value == "&quot

{alert("please select an option in the menu&quot

; return false}
else
{alert("Its good&quot

; return true}
}

~~~~~~~~~

<form name="theform" method="post" action="" onsubmit="return feeed()";>

this will do validation onsubmit.. regards, vic
