The script is to loop through the "fieldnames" array to validate each
field specified. Each "Item" of the "fieldnames" array is an array:
Fieldname, FieldType, ErrorMessage, ValidateForBadCharacters,
ValidateAnEmailAddress
I started by just checking for "isEmpty", which is working fine. Then I
began testing for bad characters (checkChar). This took a little
tweeking, but now it's working fine. Then I began to test the email.
Ouch! Process stops here: check if "isEmpty", then check if it needs a
character check (blValChar) and if it does then do it (checkChar). Then
check if the field needs an address validation (blValMail)...
This is where it stops. It gets to "phone", sees that it is not empty,
then does the first boolean (blValChar) and since it does it performs
the character check (checkChar). Then it goes to check if it requires
address validation (blValMail)...and it breaks. The "blValMail" function
(for the first time) throws an error stating that 'Item.4' is null or
not an object.
I can't figure it out, it's been driving me nuts for hours now. Any help
is greatly appreciated...(Here's the basic form)
