Liquid Fire Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 how do i validate a textarea field. This is my current code to validate a text field but it does not work for textarea: this.validate_element = function(type, validate_element) { var element = document.getElementsByName(validate_element)[0]; switch(type) { case "text": if(validate_element) { if(element.value) { return true; } else { return false; } } break; default: break; } return false; }; can anyone tell my why this will not work on textarea? my guess that that i don't access the data with .value but how do i access the data?

jamina1 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Is it not working at all, or is it not stopping with an empty textarea like it should? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
