I am writing a form validation script whereby:
1) I create an array of field names
2) I pass this array and the form (this.form) to the valCheck function
3) I loop through each item in the array and evaluate the field to
determine if it is a select or not
4) I check to see if a value has been entered/selected
5) If no value then I alert the user they must enter a value before
they continue
What I want to do next is where it goes awry. I want to focus() on the
field that still needs information. I have tried this in a number of ways.
form.array[i].focus();
form.sName.focus(); // sName is a string equivelant of the array item
I have even tried passing the form name instead of the form object.
formName.array[i].focus();
form[formName].array[i].focus();
formName.sName.focus();
form[formName].sName.focus();
What am I doing wrong here?
