I need a conditional javascript select validation. So if the user does not select anything on the select, wich has value -1 he gets tha alert box on submiting the form.

How do you say if select -1 then field required?

Dear Santoni,
What about attaching the built-in DW Validation behavior to your form?

Regards,
Brent

if (document.all.selectBoxName.value = "na" {
alert("You need to select something";
return false;
}

This is if you give the default value of the select box "na" for it's value
or

if (document.all.selectBoxName.index = -1) {
alert("You need to select something";
return false;
}

Mr. bcolflesh, the dreamweaver validation as is does not work with conditional select.

Aegiskleais can this code be incorporated in the form tag, together with the standart dw validation?

Yes, you just have to find where the validation code is up in the head tag. You have to familiar enough with javascript to know where you can insert the code. Returning false will still prevent the user from moving forward. You would also have to add the line to the alert box if/when the issue comes up where they didn't make a selection.

Thanks for your help Aegiskleais.

I found I good extension for form validation of selects, checkboxes, etc.
