Buttons based on Validation

[ejr1959]

I have a number of buttons on my form which I would like to hide/reveal based on the results of the validation of the fields on the form.

Say one of the required fields on the form is date of birth. Now if the user skips this field or enters the information incorrectly which triggers a validation error I would like to not reveal a new set of buttons.

The code that I have at the moment in JSP is:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

<!-- 

function setButtonReveal() 

  {

  document.getElementById('B00').style.visibility = "hidden";

  document.getElementById('B01').style.visibility = "visible";

  document.getElementById('B02').style.visibility = "visible";

  document.getElementById('B03').style.visibility = "visible";

  document.getElementById('B04').style.visibility = "visible";

  }

-->

</SCRIPT>

As you can see there is no "if" statement based on a validation passing or failing. I was wondering if there was a way to stop the button reveal code running if the validation failed.

Thanks

Hi there

Welcome to the Forums...!

I would suggest you posting this thread in the Javascript section as you are more likely to receive a greater response in there.

There's a couple ways to do it. Could you give a more detailed example? Do you already have the validation code you're going to use?
