Question
Basic questions
Hello,
I'm quite new using Dreamweaver (DRW for short) and I'm able to set up dumb web pages.
The smart ones are the brick wall.
I have a page with,say, 5 entries.
Entry 1 = Radio button to option 1
Entry 2= Radio button for option 2
Entry 3 = Company Name with xxx characters (Required in both options)
Entry 4 = Phone number (Required only if Radio button (option 1 ) is used
Entry 5 = Email address of the user of the page (Required ONLY if radio button (option 2) is selected
all <form id> for the fields are method=POST.
0. ALL fields are blanks when the page is shown.
1. I have to validate each field for : Radio option set, fields are not left in blank etc.
I'm using the Behavior "onSubmit" + Validate Form. No matter how I do it, I always get 2 "textfield missing" message.
Question: What can cause this ?
2. I need to know which radio button is used. I have no clue how to know which one was selected.
Question: How do I detect a radio button entry?
3. Depending on the Option I have to be sure that the needed fields are filled out.
Ex: Option1 : I have to know if company name is filled out, phone number filled out, email should be blank.
Option 2: no phone number have to be filled out but email is required.
I'm not expecting someone to write me a code in whatever language (all I know is a bit of Javascript), assuming that there is a code to be written.
Bottom Line:
The Validation as defined tells me that I have more fields to fill out than the actual number of them. Why?
How do I cross-check the fields depending on the options?
Do I have to write some code for that matter?
Possibly the information given here is not enough to understand what I really expect to see .
If that's the case, please let me know and I'll try explain better in few lines only.
I'd really appreciate some guidelines to help me.
Thanks
