Validating a textarea

Recommended Posts

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?
