Here's a javascript question:

  I am performing some validation on a form and want to make sure that at
least one of two select fields has been chosen between.  The select fields
are being generated via an array in ASP, one a product version and the other
a plugin version.  As this is a support request form, I need to ensure at
least one has been selected from.  Here's my attempt:

<script type="text/javascript">
function checksubmit()
{
      if
	  (document.Job.VersionType.value == "")
	  ||
	  (document.Job.LFproduct.value == "")
   {
      alert("Please select a Version or Plug-In")
      document.Form.VersionType.focus()
      return false
   }
   return true
}
</script>

I think this must be an improper use of the logical "or".  Can someone
advise me as to the correct way to do this?
