hi, i am picking up js for form validation. does anybody know how i can add a little check (a tiny image) to the textbox if the content is passed ... and a cross mark maybe if the textbox content failed.

it would be great if someone may just shoot a line of code really quick... thanks very much

below is the code checking a password field.... how do i add an image next to the textbox if it passed the criteria?.....

				var chr = "" 
				var nDigits = 0 
				var nAlphaUpper = 0

  		<form name="passwordForm" onSubmit=" return validator(this.passField.value)">
        	<input type="text" name="passField"  />
            <input type="submit"  />
        </form>

Place an empty span next to the inputs and then instead of alert("Your blah met our requirements."); do something like

<input id="passField" name="passField" type="text" /><span></span>
var checkdiv = document.getElementById('passField').nextSibling;
checkdiv.innerHTML = "<img src='somecheckpassimage.jpg' alt='OK' title='OK' />";

That is a good way to handle it if you are wanting to insert an <img /> tag. A faster rendering method would be to place the image tag directly next to the input field like so:

<input id="passField" name="passField" type="text" /><img id="passFieldImg" src="blankimg.gif" />

You can then change the image in your validation function using:

if( /*PASS CONDITION*/ ){
  document.getElementById('passFieldImg').src="pass.gif"
}
else{
  document.getElementById('passFieldImg').src="fail.gif"
}
