Hi,
Need your help guys.  Do any of you have a sample javascript that validates the value in a prompt and after clicking the finish button, it will display an error message "value should not be blanks" if the prompt has no value?

regards,
tven

<script language="javascript">
if(document.getElementById('formWarpRequestRS')._oLstChoicesXXX.options[0]==" ")
{
alert("value should not be blanks")
}
</script>


Or

<script language="javascript">
if(document.getElementById('formWarpRequestRS')._oLstChoicesXXX.value ==" ")
{
alert("value should not be blanks")
}
</script>


where XXX is the name of the prompt.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply,but where should i put the html item containing this code? Should it be beside the prompt being validated or the finish prompt button?

Thanks in advance.
