little javascript code

Can someone help me with some javascript I'm having a hard time with? Below is the section I'm having a problem with. The PNR_BOM_Change_Only is a yes/no drop down, but the values are 0 and 1. The CN_Entry_Initials and Release_Status_Initials are drop downs that have a few options in them to choose from. The CN_Entry_Initials has a Null Value, C, or an N option. The Release_Status_Initials has only a U and N option. I'm trying to get this javascript to display an alert box if the PNR_BOM_Change_Only is a 1 and the CN_Entry_Initials is not equal to a C, and the Release_Status_Initials is not equal to an N. This alert box works if the PNR_BOM_Change_Only is a 1 and if I choose an N in the CN_Entry_Initials drop down and the Release_Status_Initials is a U, but it does not work if I choose an N in the CN_Entry_Initials drop down and the Release_Status_Initials is an N. This ends up processing through and it shouldn't yet because the CN_Entry_Initials is not a C. If I remove either the CN_Entry_Initials or the Release_Status_Initials code and keep the PNR_BOM_Change_Only code, this does work just fine then. What am I doing wrong?

else if(document.AddECNumber.PNR_BOM_Change_Only.value == "1" && document.AddECNumber.CN_Entry_Initials.value != "C" && document.AddECNumber.Release_Status_Initials.value != "N") { //this will return true if the input passes the regular expression

alert("ECO type required - Select (C)hange for eco line item and Select N for Release Status if PNR/BOM Change Only is yes");

}

Hi,

Pls try this.

else if(document.getElementById(PNR_BOM_Change_Only).value == "1" && document.getElementById(CN_Entry_Initials).value != "C" && document.getElementById(Release_Status_Initials).value != "N") { //this will return true if the input passes the regular expression

alert("ECO type required - Select (C)hange for eco line item and Select N for Release Status if PNR/BOM Change Only is yes");

}

Note: In your file, you should be having ids as the same name like id = "PNR_BOM_Change_Only" etc.

Meensi,

      I tried your code above and made the id's for each of the drop downs as above, but it did not work. It would not go through at all, but then I changed the update button to be a submit button rather than just a regular button. It went through, but never gave me any alert box when I didn't do it right. Any other ideas? Thanks.

Andy

OK, Try to break your elseif() condition and test for each condition.

Alert the values of the dropdown, sometimes, it might be coming a True instead of 1. so check for that.

After your submiiting a button, a form will be submitted or you will be calling a function, in that function, try to give alert for testing purpose and check for each line.

If possible can you post your html code also??

Meensi,

    I can get the if statement to work if I use just this:

else if(document.AddECNumber.PNR_BOM_Change_Only.value == "1" && document.AddECNumber.CN_Entry_Initials.value != "C") {

alert("ECO type required - Select (C)hange for eco line item and Select N for Release Status if PNR/BOM Change Only is yes");

}

or if I use this:

else if(document.AddECNumber.PNR_BOM_Change_Only.value == "1" document.AddECNumber.Release_Status_Initials.value != "N") {

alert("ECO type required - Select (C)hange for eco line item and Select N for Release Status if PNR/BOM Change Only is yes");

}

Here's my entire page's code with what you told me to change:

}

}

alert("ECO type required - Select (N)ew or (C)hange for eco line item");

Note: In your file, you should be having ids as the same name like id = "PNR_BOM_Change_Only" etc.

Use quotes for the IDs, like this

document.getElementById("PNR_BOM_Change_Only").value == "1" && document.getElementById("CN_Entry_Initials").value != "C" && document.getElementById("Release_Status_Initials").value != "N"
