[thelist] Javascript if...or statement

[Cymbala, Greg]

These are <select> elements?  I wouldn't recommend using the value property
for them, unless your audience is IE-only.  I don't think it'll work in most
4.x and below versions of Netscape.

You just need to make sure at least one is selected from?  And it's OK if
both are selected?  Then try:

function checksubmit()
{
      if (document.Job.VersionType.selectedIndex > 0 ||
	  document.Job.LFproduct.selectedIndex > 0)
   {
      alert("Please select a Version or Plug-In")
      // Note: do you mean document.Form or document.Job?
      document.Form.VersionType.focus();
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

Or you could do something silly like

var selected = document.Job.VersionType.selectedIndex +
document.Job.LFproduct.selectedIndex;

if (selected <= 0) {
      alert("Please select a Version or Plug-In")
      // Note: do you mean document.Form or document.Job?
      document.Form.VersionType.focus();
      return false;
}

Note that the code above assumes that your <select>'s first item is
something like "Please select one".

HTH,
Greg
