Im so close now. Please someone end the suffering :P
The form now checks if all fields are correct in step1 and if not it displays the error prompt. however when you click ok to that it continues to hide step1/show step2 before you get the chance to correct the mistake.
Here is the code:
(Im just working on getting step1 to work first.)
Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
//check form Step1 //
function formCheck(formobj){
// Enter name of mandatory fields
var fieldRequired = Array("name", "email");
// Enter field description to appear in the dialog box
var fieldDescription = Array("Full Name", "Valid Email Address");
// dialog message
var alertMsg = "Please complete the following fields:\n";
var l_Msg = alertMsg.length;
for (var i = 0; i < fieldRequired.length; i++){
var obj = formobj.elements[fieldRequired[i]];
if (obj){
switch(obj.type){
case "select-one":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1 || obj.options[obj.selectedIndex].text == ""){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
case "select-multiple":
if (obj.selectedIndex == -1){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
case "text":
case "textarea":
if (obj.value == "" || obj.value == null){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
break;
default:
}
if (obj.type == undefined){
var blnchecked = false;
for (var j = 0; j < obj.length; j++){
if (obj[j].checked){
blnchecked = true;
}
}
if (!blnchecked){
alertMsg += " - " + fieldDescription[i] + "\n";
}
}
}
}
if (alertMsg.length == l_Msg){
return true;
}else{
alert(alertMsg);
return false;
}
}
</script>
<script type=text/javascript>//<![CDATA[
// Multi Page form //
var sections = new Array('stepOne', 'stepTwo', 'stepThree');
function init() {
show('stepOne');
document.forms['contactform'].elements['name'].focus();
}
function show(section) {
for (var i = 0; i < sections.length; i++) {
if (sections[i] == section) {
document.getElementById(sections[i]).style.display = 'block';
} else {
document.getElementById(sections[i]).style.display = 'none';
