Yes, as I shamefacedly pointed out in my second email (which I then screwed
up as well), replying from your phone is a sure way to lower your street
cred.
If I were doing this, using the idea that Tris was demonstrating in her
initial email, I would try something along the following lines:
<input id="name" type="text" />
<input id="email" type="text" />
var getErrors = [
{
errorKey: 'name',
errorMsg: 'Please enter your name'
},
{
errorKey: 'email',
errorMsg: 'Please enter your email'
}
];
for ( var i=0, j=getErrors.length(); i<j; i++ ) {
var $formElement = $('#'+getErrors[i].errorKey);
if ( $formElement.val() == '' ) {
alert(getErrors[i].errorMsg);
}
}
or something...
at least that looks reasonably correct in my text editor... ON MY COMPUTER
:(
