hi,
my form combo box has a problem. the textbox in my combo box dropdown-textbox list does not validate any error at all. when i am pressing the submit button. when the fields have no given value the script that i embed does not validate the error at all. please help.

heres my code:

<script language=javascript>
function validateForm(otheragency)
{
  if (document.otheragency.value =="")
	{alert('Please fill in all required fields');
	form.otheragency.disallowBlank();
	return true;}
	else if (document.otheragency.value=='agency')
	{form.otheragency.disallowBlank();
	return false;}
		
function validateForm(otherarea)
		
  if (document.otherarea.value =="")
	{alert('Please fill in all required fields');
	form.otherarea.disallowBlank();
	return true;}
	else if (document.otherarea.value=='area')
	{form.otherarea.disallowBlank();
	return false;}
	
function validateForm(othersubject)
	
  if (document.othersubject.value =="")
	{alert('Please fill in all required fields');
	form.othersubject.disallowBlank();
	return true;}
	else if (document.othersubject.value=='subject')
	{form.othersubject.disallowBlank();
	return false;}

If you are referring this with javascript, then you might want to try out this code to validate your fields.

instead of

if (document.otheragency.value =="")

use

if(form.otheragency.value=="")

do this at all the places....
n post back if it works...
