[SOLVED] When submitting a form...

[jaymc]

When submitting a form with a type=FILE field, how can I use javascript to validate whether that file field has a location in it

In other words, that someone has clicked browser and selected a file...

The standard [b]  else if ( document.form.picture.value == "") {do blarrrr}[/b] doesnt appear to be working..

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

take away the submit button. put in a regular button with onclick="func();"

function func(){
if(document.getElementById('form_field_id').value == ''){
alert('blah');
}else{
document.getElementById('form_id').submit();
}
}
