Help with my small validation script

gmoney060 · August 31st, 2004, 07:49 PM

I have a script that has 2 functions. Some way i need to be able to do the second function only if the first function returned true.. But have no clue how to do it..... If anyone could help that would be great!

Code:

function validate(objForm, returnvalue)
{
   //Validation Control Center
   //Use validateNotEmpty(fieldname,errormessage) to check if the field is empty
   //Use validateEMailCheck(fieldname,errormessage) to check if the email address is valid
   //These must go inside if statement
   var anError
   if (validateNotEmpty(objForm.Email.value,"You must enter your e-mail address")==false)
   {
      anError=true;
   }
   else if (validateEMailCheck(objForm.Email.value,"You must enter a valid e-mail address for yourself")==false)
   {
      anError=true
   }
   else if(objForm.SportsMailing.checked==false && objForm.GamingMailing.checked==false)
   {
      alert("You must choose at least one topic");
      anError=true;
   }
   if (anError==true)
   {
      return false;
   }
}
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=200,width=400,scrollbars=no');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}

For one thing, the first function cannot return true. You have no lines that say "return true;", only "return false;".

Anyway, to check if a function returns true, just use simple syntax like this:

if(someFunction(parameter1,parameter2,etc))
{
doSomeFunction;
}

HTH,
