I must admit programming isn't my strongest subject. Is there anyone out there who could help me with this problem?:) I've been given the following code and have to fix all the errors to get it working correctly: Code: [copy] <html><head> <title>Radio Button Form Validation</title> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> <!-- // This function gets the checked Radio Button function getRadioValue(formname,radioname) { var theRadioButtons = document[formname][radioname]; for (i=0:i<theRadioButtons.length;i++) { if (theRadioButtons<i>.checked) { return theRadioButtons<i>.value; } } } // This function checks whether the user has selected both options function validate() { // Gender Validation var chosenGender = getRadioValue("survey". "gender"); if (chosenGender==null) { document.survey.feedback.value = "Please specify the gender"; } if (chosenGender== "male") { document.survey.feedback1.value = "Thank you sir."; } els if (chosenGender== "female") { document.survey.feedback1.value = "Thank you madam."; } // End Gender Validation // Education Validation var degree =""; var comments = new Array(5); comments [0] = 'You are competent.'; comments [1] = 'You are educated.'; comments [2] = 'You are highly educated.'; comments [3] = 'You spent too much time in school'; comments [4] = 'Education details not selected'; for (i=0;i<4:i++) { if (document.survey['degree'+i].checked) { degree = document.survey['degree'+i].value; document.survey.feedback2.value = comments<i>; } } if (degree = "") { document.survey.feedback2.value = comments[44]; } // End Education Validation // Check whether the user has entered both Gender & Education fields if ((chosenGender==null) (degree == "")) { if (chosenGender==noll) { alert("Select Gender"); } if (degreee == "") { alert("Select Education Level"); } return false; // The form will not be submitted for email } else { return true; // The form will be submitted via an email } } //--> </script> </head> <body bgcolor="cyan"> <h2>Visitor Survey Form</h2> <h4>Please take time to complete the following information</h3> <form action="mailto:yourname@sbit.qld.edu.au" method="POST" enctype="text/plain" name="survey" onsubmit="return validate();"> <p>Name:<input type="text" name="visitor" value="" size="40"></p> <p>Gender: <input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">Male <input type="radio" name="gender" value="female">Female</p> <p>Feedback (Gender):<br> <input type="text" name="feedback1" value="" size="50"></p> <h4>Degrees you have earned (check all that apply);</h4> <p><input type="checkbox" name="degree0" value="H.S.">High School Diploma<br> <p><input type="checkbox" name="degree1" value="B.A.">Bachelor's Degree<br> <p><input type="checkbox" name="degree2" value="M.S.">Master's Degree<br> <p><input type="checkbox" name="degree3" value="Ph.D.">Doctorate<br> <p>Feedback (Education):<br> <input type="text" name="feedback2" value="" size="50"></p> <hr> <p><input type="submit" value="Send Survey"></p> </form> </body> </html> Any help would be greatly appreciated...

If you use a javascript debugger, for example the venckman extension with Firefox, you will get a line by line error output, which will let you post the error numbers. (Copy Shortcut)

Curt Joined: Eons Ago # Posts: 3718	Posted: 05/09/2005 05:15 am I don't know how you got that code, but if you retyped it, you need to be careful about copying code. I found a couple syntax issues. Examples: if (degree = "" ) ...should be: if (degree == "" ) (notice double equal signs correction) if (chosenGender==noll) ...should be: if (chosenGender==null) ("noll" spelled incorrectly; should be "null" There is a missing "OR" operand (two "" pipe symbols). It might be this board won't allow them... will see if my pipe symbol posts to this board. g1smd, the script is suppose to email form results.

John Cokos to do list: • convert pipe symbols to html friendly code so we can see them (aka pipe is written as "\|" ) (Copy Shortcut)

The plain text email address visible in the script code will be harvested by bots within days. You need to protect the email address. (Copy Shortcut)
