webpage script for mandatory text box

[kat63]

i need help get a script for having a text box that needs to be mandatory when a certain radio button is selected if the text box is not filled they can not submit the form.
radio button name is = complete
text box name is = remediation taken

when Complete is selected then Remediation Taken must be filled in before submitting if they hit submit without filling in Remediation i want a message pop-up stating must fill in Remediation before you can continue

can someone please help me with this

Textbox names cannot have spaces in them.

Anyway the easy way would be to run a validation function when the submit button is pressed.

<input type="submit" ... onclick="return validateComplete(this.form);">

Now for the validation:

function validateComplete(formObj)
{
if(formObj.elements.complete.checked == true)
{
   if(formObj.elements.remediationtaken.value!='')
   {
      return true;
   }
   else
   {
     alert("You must fill in Remediation");
     return false;
   }
}
return true;
}

assuming jQuery is loaded
assuming the form has an ID of 'myForm'

$('#myForm').on('submit', function(e){
 var ok = false;
 var radio = $(this).find(':input[name="complete"]');
 var textField = $(this).find(':input[name="remediation taken"]');
 if( radio.is(':checked') ){
   if ( textField.val().length > 0 ){
     ok = true;
   }
 }
 if (!ok){
   e.preventDefault();
   return false;
 } else {
   return true;
 }
}

Save yourself the pain and frustration and just use a library to do this. You can create a dynamic HTML form from a JSON object that includes support for AJAX/POST methods and form field validation using Regular Expressions. It cannot get any easier than this. Full IE7 support too.

Which is fine if you are happy that there will be no content for SE's to index?

And I think mbrooks should be upfront in his posts that UE is the author of that particular library and so there is self-interest even though it is made freely available.
