Firstly hello everyone and apologies for breaking new ground in terms
of simple idiot questions.
Ok so I'm trouble doing something I would consider as simple with
jquery.
I have a form and i want to run a common function (that checks a bunch
of inputs) that will be run when certain fields blur. working off the
blur field is not a problem, but parsing the function is... example
below. Looking at callback's in jQuery I'm still a bit confused and i
cannot find anything floating around the net that does similar to what
i want to do (common function invoked from multiple different fields).
function EvalFields() {
var arrFieldNames = array;
var boolFields = boolean;
boolFields = true;
alert("running"); // easy way to know if your running the code
or not
arrFieldNames[0] = "#frmField1";
arrFieldNames[1] = "#frmField2";
arrFieldNames[2] = "#frmField3";
arrFieldNames[3] = "#frmField4";
arrFieldNames[4] = "#frmField5";
for (var x=0;x>arrFieldNames.length;x++) {
if( !$.(arrFieldNames[x]).empty() ){
boolFields = false;
}
}
if (boolFields == true) {
$.("#frmHiddenField").val("1");
} else {
$.("#frmHiddenField").val("0");
}
}
^^ this is the function I want to use. It just cycles through a bunch
of fields and if they all have content it'll flick a switch for server
side processing later on.
$("#frmField1").blur(function () {
EvalFields();
});
$("#frmField2").blur(function () {
EvalFields();
});
$("#frmField3").blur(function () {
EvalFields();
});
$("#frmField4").blur(function () {
EvalFields();
});
$("#frmField5").blur(function () {
EvalFields();
});
^^ the on blur events should be fine right?
I'm assuming that I'm not defining the function properly and/or
passing jquery through(maybe i'm not event getting this far!)...
The whole point of this was to not write the exact same code for the 5
odd, specific, blur events but i've wasted so much time on this i need
to seek assistance.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
p.s. all form elements have appropriate id's set, etc. and I'm
successfully using the Validation plugin already.
