Validation prob for luciddream

[rmz8]

Hey lucid, I tried e-mailing you, but the e-mail bounced. Anyway, you initially helped to create this code, so I figured that you would be the best to come to in this time of trouble. I have been trying for weeks to get this code to function in Netscape 4.7 and 6, but the code just gets overriden and there are no errors.

function validation_function() {
    if(document.frm.Resource_Type.value=='xyz') {
        alert('Please select a resource type.')
        return false;
        }
    if(document.frm.Subject_Area.value=='xyz') {
        alert('Please select a subject area for your resource.')
        return false;
        }
    if(document.frm.Grade_Level.value=='xyz') {
        alert('Please select a grade level for your resource.')
        return false;
        }
}

It is called like this:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; VALUE=&quot;Submit&quot; onclick=&quot;return validation_function();&quot;>

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I don't really know what your problems are but you probably need to make the following changes:

function validation_function() {
if(document.frm.Resource_Type.value=='xyz') {
alert('Please select a resource type.');
return false;
}
if(document.frm.Subject_Area.value=='xyz') {
alert('Please select a subject area for your resource.');
return false;
}
if(document.frm.Grade_Level.value=='xyz') {
alert('Please select a grade level for your resource.');
return false;
}
return true;
}

Also, I'm not sure about the whole case-sensitivity issue so you might want to try the following:

<INPUT TYPE=&quot;submit&quot; VALUE=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;return validation_function();&quot;>
