Hi,

I need to make 5 text fields mandatory IF a specific radio button is selected...any tips?

What I have is if someone click the OTHER radio button, they need to provide a full address.

Thanks!

Mitch

If your form validation is only client-side (JavaScript), then you'll just check of the radio button is checked, and then see if the other form field value attribute have values.

If your form uses any server-side validation, then you need to follow the same procedure as above (JS), but just in your Server Model (PHP,ASP,.NET,CFML,JSP).

Also, anyone looking for an extension suite that does both client & server-side form validations, then you'll really want to look into <b>WA Validation Toolkit</b> - www.webassist.com/Products/ProductDetails.asp?PID=33, also comes in <b>Macromedia DRK vol.9</b> (which will be going bye-bye this 2005).
